Paranormal Activity in Hollywood comes to an end today with the release of Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension, the sixth film in the franchise. And while there are always a ton of scary movies out around Halloween, there’s an argument to be made that Paranormal Activity is one of the best horror franchises of all time. […]
The new Paranormal Activity movie won’t be in theaters in time for Halloween, but the trailer for The Marked Ones is here to set the (freaky) tone. Paramount has released the first glimpse of Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones , the latest spinoff of the fun, frightening “found footage” franchise. Check out the trailer below … Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones Trailer The series has a history of using scenes in trailers that don’t actually appear in the theatrical version, so it’s unclear how accurate a preview this is. Still, what the heck are those bite marks? Was that an exorcism? And does it get any creepier than that gross-out eyeball moment? We think not. Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones opens January 3, 2014. After watching this teaser, will you be seeing this one? Share your comments below.
This just in from Nikki Finke: Paramount’s cheap wannabe found footage hit The Devil Inside — which drew reports of audible grumbles and boos as the credits rolled at sneak screenings in Los Angeles and New York last night — has already made back double its acquisition costs . ” The Devil Inside acquired for $1M opened with $2M midnights from 1,400 theaters. It goes wide into 2,300 theaters today,” Finke writes at Deadline, adding that “the genre film plays very young and very ethnic so it will probably be frontloaded.” Nice. Very young and very ethnic. If the pic turns into a Paranormal Activity -esque hit, you know who to blame. [ Deadline , @STYDnews , Moviefone ]

(The moral: stick with what you know.) The pair return to theaters this November with Paranormal Activity 3 , a prequel to the stories told in the first two films, but one that looks no less terrifying.
