The originalParanormal Activitywas released in 2007 and made waves for being filmed in just one week and grossing over $193 million on just a $15,000 budget. The series, which drew comparisons toThe Blair Witch Project, first followed a middle-class couple (Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat) who are haunted by a supernatural demon in their new suburban home. Featherston and Sloat set up a camera in their bedroom to document the paranormal activity that occurred while they were sleeping.
Following the success of the first four films, two spinoff series were made (Paranormal Activity: The Marked OnesandParanormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension).Unlike the prior sequels, the spinoffdidn’t explore the Featherston family’s haunted history. Through six films,the franchise grossed over$890.3 million worldwide.
