Latest Genre Spoof: ‘Paranormal Whacktivity’
Michael Rens tipped us off to a story over at Whats Playing that’s quite disturbing. After witnessing he horrid Twilight/vampire spoof Vampires Suck, apparently there’s a Paranormal Activity satire in the works. The title? Paranormal Whacktivity, which is being helmed by Roger Roth. The site adds that the good news is, this one’s said to be a little racier (instead of filming themselves sleeping, the young couple in the film are shooting themselves having sex), not to mention witter, than those abominations that Jason Friedberg and Aaaron Seltzer pushed upon us. I’ll believe it when I see it.

Matilda Firth Joins the Cast of Director Leigh Whannell’s ‘Wolf Man’ Movie
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
