Sinister 2, the sequel to the 2012 sleeper hit horror film, hits theaters this week. The films stars (Shannyn Sossamon of Wayward Pines) and picks up in the aftermath of the shocking events of Sinister. Sossamon plays a protective mother of 9-year-old twin sons (real-life brothers Robert and Dartanian Sloan). The small family finds themselves in a rural house marked for death as the evil spirit of Bughuul continues to spread with frightening intensity.
The twins are used as pawns in an evil plot drummed up by the spirit of Bughuul, to wreak havoc and terror.
So I thought I'd take this opportunity to share some spooky twin facts:
• Some cultures used to believe that twins share one soul
• Other cultures viewed twins as a bad omen sent by the Gods
• Ancient societies believed that one twin is always good and the other is evil
• Dogs can tell twins apart when people can't
• A pair of conjoined twins share a neural bridge making it
• Possible for them to literally read each other's minds
• 40 percent of twins invent their own language
• twins are multiplying up 76 percent since 1980

I sat down with stars Shannon Sossamon and James Ransone below, to discuss their take on horror films and what makes them so enticing. I also wanted to know what their favorite horror films were growing up and shared a few of my own.
Take a look.
