Breaking: ‘Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension’ Ends the Franchise, Reveals Toby!
Paramount’s Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension, the sixth film in the Paranormal Activity franchise, it to be the last.
USA Today shared the first images from the Greg Plotkin-directed sequel, in theaters October 23, 2015, while also revealing that it will conclude the supernatural series that began with Oren Peli’s indie from 2007.
“It’s coming to an end. This is it, the finale,” says producer Jason Blum. “We’re saying it before the movie opens. We’re not going to grind this horror franchise into the ground. This will keep Paranormal Activity as part of this culture and this particular time in a really fantastic way.
“We couldn’t go just teasing,” Blum added. “All the questions that everyone has asked from the past Paranormal Activity films: What does Toby look like? What’s the backstory to the families? These questions have been teased out. Now they will be answered.”
Even Toby will be revealed after remaining unseen in previous films.
“We’ve done well without showing Toby, being able to create tensions and scares based on audiences’ imagination,” says producer and creator Oren Peli. “But people are very curious.”
“At some point, might there be a reboot? You never know. We’ve never discussed it,” says Blum. “(But) we made this movie like it’s the end of this Paranormal line for sure.”
In terms of story details, The Ghost Dimension, directed by Gregory Plotkin, follows a new family, the Fleeges — father Ryan (Chris J. Murray), mother Emily (Brit Shaw) and their young daughter Leila (Ivy George) — who move into a house and discover a video camera and a box of tapes in the garage.
When they look through the camera’s lens, they begin to see the paranormal activity happening around them — including the re-emergence of young Kristi and Katie.
Here’s the stills, watch for the trailer drop any day now.
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
