Paranormal Activity appears to be building popularity at a viral rate. I have to say I have never been creeped out about a trailer more than when I saw this one.
Well the film is on limited release based on demand and if this is any indication, then there is CLEARLY a demand.
Bloody Disgusting was host to an event that screened the film to a small group of RSVP’d fans. When 4500 people showed up, they knew they had some problems!
We were told to get to the theater around 10pm to start getting ready for the onslaught. Andrea and I park around 8:15pm to go walk to a local bar, grab a drink and some food. There’s already a line all the way around the front of the theater. By the time we returned around 10, the line was down the street!
It immediately washed over me that this was really happening.
Then there was midnight, don’t even get me started about midnight. Apparently, there were over 4,500 of you horror fiends in line. People who were in line three hours early were turned away. Some of you were in the lobby screaming, others freaking out. I got a kick out of the groups of people who showed up at 11:59 asking to “check in” like they were just going to waltz on in to the theater.
Paramount was pretty rad as instead of screening the film for one lucky group of individuals, they spooled up three prints and ran it in three separate theaters – all packed to the brim with screaming horror fans.
It was epic, and I have never seen anything like this… EVER.
This is pretty amazing. Everyone I know is talking about this film. People haven’t been this a buzz since Blair Witch. I can’t wait to see this!
