Horror movies are having a moment right now, with the genre providing many of Hollywood’s biggest runaway successes.

And Patrick Wilson is right at the forefront.

The veteran actor teamed up with “Saw” director James Wan on “Insidious” in 2011, which earned some $97 million worldwide against a $1.5 million production budget, according to Box Office Mojo. This summer’s “The Conjuring,” their sophomore joint effort, has brought in some $259 million globally.

Expectations are therefore justifiably raised for “Insidious: Chapter 2,” which opens tomorrow and returns us to the story of the haunted Lambert family.
