Paramount is set to continue the Paranormal Activity franchise with a new installment. The studio has planned for a Halloween 2013 release date for the franchise's fifth installment, reports Deadline.

Paranormal Activity 4 was just released on October 19, topping the US box office.

The series debuted its first film in 2009, followed by a prequel in 2010 and Paranormal Activity 3 in 2011.

Paranormal Activity follows a family who has been haunted by a demon for many years.

Katie Featherston, the franchise's protagonist, told Digital Spy that she still finds Paranormal Activity scary.

"I definitely get surprised because we filmed so much, and it's so fluid and it's so improvisation, that we never know going into it, what's going to make the final cut. So when you watch it for the first time, it is a surprise and it's fun to see what actually makes it, and it's definitely scary," she said. "I jumped a number of times watching [Paranormal Activity 4] for the first time."

STOP IT, HOLLYWOOD! STOP. IT!!!!!! We don't wanna see Paranormal Activity 43 when Katie haunts a retirement home.

Hollywood will stop it when people will stop paying to watch the serie.

PA4 was number 1 here this weekend. That's why PA5 will see the light of the day.

Hollywood doesn't take decision. The market is. It's all about money. The day people pay to see movies like We need to talk about Kevin we gonna see more of those.

1 and 2 were really good. 3 was really bad. 4 was slightly better and left me with enough curiosity to want to see what happens next. I want more jumpy scenes though.

There seems to be a lot to the story line to keep going with it, unlike the Saw series where it was clearly dragged out as long as possible. I think they should keep going with the series until it gets stale.

  • 5 weeks later...
The once-a-year announcement continues to be entirely unsurprising, but here it is anyway... Following the success of this year's Paranormal Activity 4, Hallowe'en 2013 will see Paranormal Activity 5 making sudden loud noises in your local multiplex.

There are no details yet, other than the release date of October 25 2013, so it's unclear if the directors of the last two instalments, Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman (who also made the excellent Catfish) will be returning for a third time. Their two Paranormals introduced some new story threads that are still dangling, however, so it may be that they want to stay for at least one more stint to tie those up.

    • Yes, it was amusing at the time because even then dbrand was well known for stealing the designs of products from other companies. That’s what they do.
    • Didn’t Dbrand once complain that Casetify was ripping off their designs a well? seems pretty bad of them to try and get around Valve’s copyright this way with that in mind.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
