Three Preview Clips from Paranormal Activity 3 Won't Let Anyone Sleep
Posted 09.27.11 by Ryan
The Paranormal Activity movies seem intent on keeping everyone from getting a good night's rest.
The marketing team behind the upcoming sequel Paranormal Activity 3 have chosen an unique tact for releasing three new preview clips by sending VHS tapes to three different horror movie sites. The clips all take place during the night while characters are sleeping.
The dated VHS tapes are a reference to the prequel nature of Paranormal Activity 3, which explores the childhood of Katie (played by Katie Featherston in the previous movies) and her sister Kristi (played by Sprague Hayden in Paranormal Activity 2) and shows how the family has been doomed from the beginning. All the tapes were labeled "September 1988," which is clearly when the movie is set.
The clip sent to Bloody-Disgusting, labeled "September 2, 1988," shows one of the sisters watching her parents while they sleep.
The clip was sent to ShockTillYouDrop and sees the sisters sleeping in bed, though both may not be by the end of the clip.
The last clip sent to Dread Central again messes with the parents of Kristi and Katie, as the girls quietly enter their room while they are sleeping. No one in this family is getting a good night's rest!
Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman (Catfish) directed Paranormal Activity 3, which was written by Paranormal Activity 2 screenwriter Christopher B. Landon.
