The next movie in the Paranormal Activity found footage horror movie franchise, titled Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension, is set to be released in theaters next week.

To help promote the movie the house that was used in the original movie was set up once again to make it seem like some strange things were going on there, and then an open house was held there to see how some visitors would react to this mysterious phenomena.

You can see a video of the prank below.

The first trailer for the next installment of the Paranormal Activity series has found its way online. This is the sixth movie in the franchise overall.

The latest is titled Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension, and it follows a family who discovers a box of old home movies on video tape of the original family from 20 years earlier, which of course leads to some strange, unexplainable events unfolding in their own lives.

Paramount Pictures is clearly in no rush to get their next installment in the Friday the 13th series into theaters. The movie had already been pushed back eight months from its scheduled March 13, 2015 release to a November 13, 2015 release. Now comes word the studio has bumped it back yet again to a May 13, 2016 release.

Paramount has also decided to push back the release of the next entry in the Paranormal Activity franchise, while scheduling a release date for the third movie in The Ring series.

If the Paranormal Activity franchise hasn’t gotten old for you yet, no worries, more movies are still on the way.

Paranormal Activity 5 (or Paranormal Activity 6 if you count the recent spinoff The Marked Ones), has been given an official title and a new release date. The sequel, which was set for release on October 25th of this year, will now be released on March 13, 2015 and will be called Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension.

People either love or hate the Transformers film franchise. On one hand, Michael Bay has helped bring the war between the Autobots and Decepticons to life; and on the other, we got to hear many variations of Shia LeBeouf saying “No, no, no.” But the popularity of the source material is one of Paramount’s cash cows, and now they will be extending it as they have announced that Transformers 5 will be hitting theaters in 2016.

Paramount made the sequel announcement recently at a film conference in Europe. Other titles announced for 2016 include: Star Trek 3, G.I. Joe 3, Beverly Hills Cop 4, Hansel and Gretel 2, and Paranormal Activity 5. Hit the jump for more info.

Back in July it was reported that Paranormal Activity 5 would not be released this October—breaking the streak that began in 2009 with the original—and that it would instead be released in January of 2014.

As it turns out, that news had nothing at all to do Paranormal Activity 5, but instead a planned spinoff movie titled Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones, which is set in the same (or some kind of parallel) world as the other movies but with different characters.

You can check out the first trailer for the movie below.

As I write up more and more of these Kickstarter campaigns, I find myself amazed at the way the public has embraced this as a viable way to fund projects. So many more artists and creators are able to self-publish their work. I can’t help out as much as I would like to, but I do my share as I’m sure many of you do. Therefore, it’s my pleasure to be able to occasionally show one off in the hopes that you will find it as interesting as I do. Howie Noel‘s Kickstarter campaign for his webcomic character, Tara Normal has all the makings of a fun and entertaining read with more than just a twist of originality.

Centered around Tara Normal, the graphic novel that Howie wants to create with this campaign is going to focus on Tara solving the mystery of her mother’s death. Already an paranormal investigator who has proven that ghosts exist, she will explore how this all affects her world and the people in it. And part of this quest will involve the rescue of a group called the Ghost Soldiers who find themselves trapped in the most haunted place in the world, St. Catherine of Siena (an abandoned mental hospital), and only Tara can save them! Luckily, Tara is a pretty strong willed young lady who is used to kicking paranormal butt.

Paramount Pictures is doing a bit of shuffling of their upcoming release slate. Instead of releasing Paranormal Activity 5 on October 25, 2013—which would have made five in the same amount of years—the studio has instead decided to push the next installment in the found footage horror franchise back to January 3, 2014.

To fill the vacated October 25th spot, Paramount has announced that they will release Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa on that date. The title may not sound familiar at first, but anyone who’s watched the Jackass movies will be familiar with the Bad Grandpa sketches in which Johnny Knoxville is completely transformed into a convincingly realistic old man named Irving, who would set out and cause mischief.

A new spoof is on the way, this time taking on the Paranormal Activity franchise and other found footage types, which is titled A Haunted House.

The movie stars Marlon Wayans, who was part of the first two Scary Movie flicks (the only two worth watching) trying to recapture some of that absurdly silly R-rated parody magic.

Whether he’ll achieve that goal or if the movie will end up in the massive pile of mind-bogglingly awful spoof movies we’ve seen over the past decade or so remains to be seen. For now, you can watch the Red Band trailer for the movie below. NSFW warning in effect after this point.
