Making Me Watch Movies - Halloween Special: The Paranormal Activity Saga (2007-2021)

Making Me Watch Movies

It's that time of year again! In this Halloween Special of Making Me Watch Movies, your demonic hosts dive into the ultimate supernatural binge: the entire Paranormal Activity franchise. Starting with Oren Peli’s 2007 original, a low-budget nightmare that redefined horror, we follow every chilling chapter up to Next of Kin in 2021, exploring the scares that haunted audiences for over a decade.
We'll tackle memorable moments like the infamous bedroom scenes, the nerve-wracking Kinect setups, and the "found footage within found footage" ...We debate the effectiveness of each film's scares, the franchise’s unique impact on the found footage genre, and whether Next of Kin served as a fitting conclusion—or left us wanting more.

Brace yourself for chills, thrills, and plenty of laughs as we rank the jump scares, analyze the franchise’s wild continuity, and unpack the genius (or madness) of Oren Peli's groundbreaking vision that started it all.
