In theaters January 11 from Open Road Films is Michael Tiddes’ A Haunted House, co-written by and starring Marlon Wayans. Also starring Cedric The Entertainer, David Koechner, Nick Swardson and Essence Atkins. In the Wayans family tradition of successful movies like Scary Movie 1 & 2, Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood, and, most recently, Dance Flick, Marlon Wayans co-wrote the script for A Haunted House, along with Rick Alvarez, who has produced several Wayans family movies.

Last week I sat down with Marlon Wayans (who co-wrote the film and plays “Malcolm) and Essence Atkins (who plays his newly moved in girlfriend “Kisha”). They talks about their chemistry onset and how A Haunted House stacks up against its more serious found footage counterparts.
