There's a new Paranormal Activity in the works described as a "rebirth" for the franchise, and James Wan, known for The Conjuring universe, is one of the producers.

The news, per THR, comes nearly two years after Wan's production company Atomic Monster merged with Paranormal Activity production company Blumhouse. Paramount is once again back to produce, distribute, and co-finance the flick. Meanwhile, original Paranormal Activity director Oren Peli, who managed to make a $194 million-grossing smash hit - not to mention one of the scariest found footage movies of all times - from a tiny $15,000 budget, is also signed on to produce the untitled new movie.

"Thankfully, we're able to spend a little more than the $15,000 we had on the first movie, but one thing will remain the same — do not see it alone."

Paranormal Activity didn't quite make the cut for our list of the best horror movies ever made, but it's still one of the finest examples of minimalist found footage horror.

I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
