HOLLYWOOD, CA (November 5, 2009) – As the nationwide phenomenon PARANORMAL ACTIVITY makes its way to the $100 million mark at the box office, Paramount Pictures is taking fan appreciate to new heights by giving back to the legion of moviegoers who helped to make the $15,000 movie a hit by featuring their names in the credits of the film's DVD and Blu-ray editions.
"The success of PARANORMAL ACTIVITY would not have been possible without the million-plus fans who went to the ParanormalMovie.com official website and demanded the movie in their home town," says Amy Powell, Senior Vice President, Interactive Marketing, Paramount Pictures. "They demanded the movie and they got it. So now we are giving them credit where credit is due."
TTo continue to be part of the phenomenon and have your name listed in the DVD and Blu-ray credits for PARANORMAL ACTIVITY register your name at http://www.ParanormalActivityProject.com before Monday, November 9, 2009 at 12 PM PST. The DVD and Blu-ray release date for the movie will be announced shortly.
In PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, after a young, middle class couple moves into what seems like a typical suburban "starter" tract house, they become increasingly disturbed by a presence that may or may not be demonic, but is certainly most active in the middle of the night.
Especially when they sleep. Or try to.
Directed, written and produced by Oren Peli, the innovative thriller stars Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat. The film was produced by Jason Blum. Steven Schneider served as executive producer.

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY is a smart film that knows when to tingle your spine and when to go for the jugular. It’s one of those movies that slowly progresses down a bone-chilling path. With each meticulous step, more terrors are revealed and the sense of dread becomes thick in the air. I sat in a jam packed theater and as this movie continued its spiral into horror, you could hear a pin drop. The crowd was that into this film.
And that’s the thing. This is definitely a movie to be experienced in a theater. Sure seeing it in the comforts of your own home when this eventually comes out on DVD is an experience that will be most likely memorable and effective given the fact that the setting of the movie is in a home itself, but living through this movie with a crowd of people gasping and screaming in tandem…damn it’s just an experience too fun to miss.
