‘Paranormal Activity 8’ In The Works With James Wan Attached To Produce

In addition to a new video game and the new stage play, the Paranormal Activity franchise is also gearing up for a new installment in Blumhouse’s popular found footage film series.

Moreover, the eighth film will be produced by horror master James Wan, THR reports today, alongside Jason Blum, franchise creator Oren Peli, and Paramount on board as a partner to co-finance, co-produce, and distribute the movie. 

“I’ve been a huge admirer of Paranormal Activity since the brilliant first movie, with its creeping slow burn and subtle ability to make the unseen terrifying. I’m looking forward to expanding on its legacy and helping shape the next evolution of this scary found-footage franchise,” Wan told THR.

“Diving in with James for this exciting rebirth of the franchise that started it all for Blumhouse is exactly what we dreamed of when we merged with Atomic Monster. I’ll be actively involved with him to introduce this new chapter,” said Blum. “Thankfully, we’re able to spend a little more than the $15,000 we had on the first movie, but one thing will remain the same — do not see it alone.”
