Amazing! If you can appreciate where it's coming from!

"The Haunting Of Whaley House" is about a young adult named 'Penny' who works in the Whaley House as a tour guider, later on: Penny discovers that seizures and accidents happens constantly during the house tours. Penny is then later persuaded by her friends to intrude the Whaley House at night: to see if the house is truly haunted. I later discovered that The cast and crew of "The Haunting Of Whaley House" is actually one huge family! whether they are close friends or related to one-another: Marion 'The Ghost Girl' is actually the director's daughter and one of the visitors 'the lady with the camera' (on the tour) is his wife.

"The Haunting Of Whaley House" was shot on a budget of 115,000 dollars and twelve days to shoot the entire film: Jose Prendes "The Director" him-self quoted "Actually, everything you pointed out was forced on me by The Asylum. They made me kill tons of people and they told me (the day before starting production I might add) that I had to have nudity in the movie, and it wouldn't make sense for the main cast to get naked, so I had to shoehorn a scene where a chick gets topless. I tried to make it as obvious as possible what I was doing with that without saying "hey, tits!". As for the Oil Man sequence, that is my greatest regret. With 12 days we had to rush A LOT! And that final scene with Penny was shot in 2 hours, which unfortunately means we had to shear away 6 pages of action. It was a huge, tragic loss for me."

No matter what Jose Prendes believes about 'cutting out all the action in the ending', it was still a magnificent film: it shows where talent can take you in Hollywood. It would've been great to see what happened with the extended ending scene - ...Maybe Jose himself can tell us on his Facebook Fanpage on what truly happened in the six pages cut out. Check out Jose Prendes upcoming project 'Hansel & Gretel' featuring Dee Wallace, Stephanie Greco 'Penny in The Haunting Of Whaley House' and Brent Lydic dropping out January 8th, 2013.
