New ‘Paranormal Activity 3’ TV Spot Shows More 80’s VHS Scares!
Hot on the heels of a successful screening at Fantastic Fest last month the Paranormal Activity 3 marketing machine is hitting overdrive in anticipation of the film’s upcoming release.
This newest TV Spot packs a lot of new footage into its 30 seconds. Mr. Disgusting has gone on record saying that the trailers for the 3rd one alone seem more eventful than the entirety of the 2nd movie, and on first glance I tend to agree. Even if none of this gets us closer to understanding Nev’s tramp stamp in Catfish, it does help us gain a greater insight into the effed up technicolor childhood that leads to Katie Featherston’s poltergeist troubles later in life.
Franchise creator and producer Oren Peli returns with Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman directing from a screenplay by Disturbia scribe Christopher B. Landon. Paranormal Activity 3 lands in theaters October 21st.

‘Medium Rare’ – Curry Barker’s Dad Jeff Barker Directing His Own Horror Short Starring Dane Cook
Curry Barker’s career is exploding with possibility in the wake of Obsession‘s box office success, but Curry Barker isn’t the only one in the Barker family making horror movies.
The Hollywood Reporter informs us this afternoon that Curry Barker’s father Jeff Barker is going to be writing and directing a horror short starring comedian Dane Cook!
The short is titled Medium Rare, and Lesley Ann Warren will also star.
THR details, “The film follows a man trapped inside a bar, where reality begins to unravel in increasingly disturbing ways. Production is expected to begin in Los Angeles later this summer.”
“Medium Rare is a short story I wrote eight years ago. I’m honored by the team of people helping me bring this project to life,” Jeff Barker said in a statement shared by the outlet.
Jeff Barker is a screenwriter in his own right, credited as the script consultant for Obsession. He even wrote the Hansel & Gretel monologue memorably delivered by Inde Navarrette.
