Hell, when I was in college every dorm was an asylum with lots of dead brain cells throughout the hallways.

Okay, time for someone to help me out here, is this going to be directly related to the stories of Ohio University? The legends that follow that one actually have the five haunted buildings on campus in the shape of a pentagram, all five buildings are haunted, except for the administration building located in the direct center of the pentagram, but the worst of the five is the one that use to be an Asylum for tuberculosis victims and women going through menopause before they knew how to treat it... even as far as treating the women by performing lobotomies threw the eyes. Anyone out there with some insight on this other than what I caught on the History channel one night at about 2AM?

P.S.
I agree with wessmith also... could be Animal House 2... Why not another sequel?

It was Ohio University in Athens, OH and was featured on Fox Family's "World's Scariest Places." The pentagram is formed by five cemetaries in the town, not buildings. There is a supposedly haunted former asylum in the town, and one of the university's buildings is supposed to have been built on (you guessed it) an Indian burial ground.

Awesome, this fim is filming about 30 minutes from where I live. Most of it is being shot in Rock Hill, S.C. on the Winthrop College Campus, I went to an extras casting call last weekend, I hope I get chosen to be an extra.

Good luck. And I mean that, I'm not being a jerk.
