Looking at Speculative Fiction from Another Dimension.

Paranormal Activity 3 haunts Trailer Park Tuesday.

Paranormal Activity 3 one sheet.

Paranormal Activity 3 (2011)

Two years ago, the SAW franchise had been dominating the Halloween season for six years and SAW VI was due to hit theaters in one week. Paranormal Activity was a little known haunted house movie – but was talked about in horror circles for the six months leading up to it’s release. Streebo was there on opening weekend, when Paranormal Activity was playing for one weekend only in select cities across the country. Fans were encouraged to vote online to expand the theatrical release and that was exactly what happened. MVP was there leading the way as horror turned the corner from torture to hauntings.

(Keep your finger on the pulse of horror after the leap!)

Two years later Paranormal Activity has banished the SAW series from Halloween and has taken over the Halloween season as the dominant franchise of the month. Two years and three movies and up this week is Paranormal Activity 3. I was pleasantly surprised that the first one spooked me so much and found myself quietly bemused when the sequel repeated the feat.

Will the third time be the charm or will the Paramormal Activity filmmakers go to the haunted well once too often? Check out the trailer below and then go see the movie this weekend in the theater! Tell ’em Streebo sent ya.
