Ouija boards (pronounced wee-jee or wee-ja) have played roles in movies before. The Exorcist’s Linda Blair talked to “Captain Howdy” with one just before she went nuts and started projectile vomiting, one spontaneously burst into flames to frighten views in Paranormal Activity, and more than one slumber party has been creeped out when the Ouija is jokingly pulled forth during the witching hour.

Ridley Scott to Direct Film Version of Monopoly
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Universal, Adaptation, Upcoming Releases,
If you’ve found yourself needing to enjoy Monopoly in one more possible form, you’re in luck. An adaptation of the classic game is now being prepared for the big screen, nearly 25 years after the same was done for Clue. (Yes, it was that long ago.)
And while some may choose to write this project off completely - I mean, the game only has like one character - there could be reason to take note. A few high-profile names have already been attached to the Hasbro-Universal collaboration. Ridley Scott, the same man behind Gladiator and American Gangster, will be co-producing and directing the film. (He reportedly would like to give the film a “futuristic sheen” like he did with 1982’s Blade Runner.) Meanwhile, Pamela Pettler, the woman who penned Corpse Bride and Monster House, is in charge of the script.
Other games that could eventually end up in theaters include Ouija Board and Battleship.
