Paranormal Activity 4 opened this weekend, and it topped the box office. Then, it was announced that there would be one more sequel and a spinoff. But what I want to know more about is the infinitely more interesting witch-related part of the Paranormal saga that is only barely touched on in the movies, but rounds out the creepiness ten-fold. Yes, we've been treated to several moments of suspense and scares throughout the four movies. But I feel like there is a whole other story being glossed over.
It won't be a long discussion, but for the sake not spoiling Paranormal Activity 4, I'll continue after the jump.

Dread Central has been doing a little bit of investigating into
the viral campaign being run by
Paranormal Activity 4. Accounts on
Twitter,
Facebook, and
YouTube apparently belong to a man named Jacob Degloshi from Henderson, Nevada. But appearing in one picture he's shared on Twitter is
a young blonde woman named Alex, who happens to be
a character (not an actress) in the newest installment of the found-footage franchise. And, Dread Central points out, the pool and the house in
one of the videos should look very familiar... I like this expansion on the viral,
Blair Witch approach to movie promotion, even though the whole "fact or fiction" element is clearly absent. But similar to
The Walking Dead's web videos that go into stories about people who aren't the main characters, this is a cool way to build the mystery. (via

Apple has the
full trailer for the fourth entry in the
Paranormal Activity franchise, and I'm happy to report that the creepy factor has upgraded from VHS to digital! The
saga of Katie and Kristi and their freaky family continues, but this time, they're freaking out a whole different family on camera. And we'll all get to see it October 19. You can also view the
three teaser trailers on YouTube, all of which are sufficiently spooky in a matter of seconds. (via
