Paranormal Activity scares the shit out of you, and you know it.

Halloween and nearly upon us, and people are getting ready to get scared. Paranormal Activity came out a week or two ago after quite an impressive grassroots campaign (I will likely do a separate post on this). The movie was allegedly shot for $15,000 in the director’s (Oren Peli) own home back in 2007. Steven Spielberg caught wind of the project and then Paramount scooped up the project, paying $300,000 for North American distribution rights. Anyways, the point is have you looked at the box office numbers? The Movie has grossed somewhere in the neighborhood of $65 mil, making it one of the most lucrative horror films ever produced in the history of film.
BUT
The weird thing is everrrryyyooonee who goes to see it says it’s terrible and isn’t scary at all. You are all fucking liars. Based off the campaign ALONE you are all fucking liars. The only reason this movie is even IN theaters is because people thought it was scary as shit and demanded it be moved to bigger venues. The main argument I hear is that people say its not scary because it’s “fake”. No way. It’s fake? Holy fuck, I totally must have missed that part. Here I thought a couple had put a camera in their room, and this woman had actually become possessed. Buzz kill.
I guess my point is, Paranormal Activity scared the shit out of you, and you know it. Take a look at the trailer and go see it if you haven’t already. I’ll get back to making fun of crack addicts and debating the contents of lint in my next post.
No mountain too high.
