It was only a few years back that studios were nervous about launching scary movies on Halloween because they couldn't compete with the enormously successful Saw franchise. Then in 2009 a small budget, found-footage film called Paranormal Activity tried to play the David and Goliath game and actually managed to beat Saw VI, despite being in its third week of release by the time Saw came out. Thus was born the new franchise-owner of Halloween and for the third year in a row we now have another Paranormal Activity movie coming our way, which now has a new trailer.

Check it out below or in HD over on Apple.



Paranormal Activity 3 is a prequel to the last two films that explores the first encounter Katie and Kristi have with the demon that has haunted them their entire lives. The movie was directed by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, the directors of last year's hit documentary Catfish, and written by Christopher B. Landon, whose credits include Paranormal Activity 2 and Disturbia. Set to hit theaters on October 21, you can see more about the film, including news, images, posters and trailers, over in our Blend Film Database.
