Another Halloween means another Paranormal Activity. With the Saw franchise dead and gone, Oren Peli’s low-budget supernatural horror flick has picked up the torch to become the go-to movie during the spooky season in late October. As seen in the trailer, the tape footage reveals the year 1988 meaning that the three-quel may serve as a true Paranormal Activity prequel starring a young Katie. Catfish directors Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost are at the helm here, and Peli serves as producer with Jason Blum, Steven Schneider, and Akiva Goldsman. PA3 releases October 21, 2011.

Paranormal Activity 3 gets a Halloween 2011 release date
Hot off the heels of a stellar sequel, Paranormal Activity creator Oren Peli spilled the release date of the next movie in the series. Paramount confirms October 21, 2011 is the day. The original had a production budget set at $15,000 and generated nearly $197 million. The sequel’s budget was upped to $3 million following the original’s success, and so far it has generated a worldwide gross of around $157 million–and it’s still in theatres. Greenlighting a three-quel is a no-brainer. And with the Saw franchise (supposedly) out of the way, nothing’s stopping PA from raking in the cash next Halloween. That is, of course, if Hollywood doesn’t find a worthy horror flick to pit against it.
