Paramount Home Entertainment is dialing up the Halloween-season horror meter to eleven with the October release news this past week.
Not only is the Paranormal Activity: The Ultimate Chills Collection heading home on Blu-ray on Oct. 11, but the following week, Oct. 18, both DVD and Blu-ray editions of director William Brent Bell’s Orphan: First Kill will be available for genre fans to savor.
Writer/director Oren Peli’s Paranormal Activity was shot on a micro budget back in 2007 and went the film festival route, got picked up by Paramount, a new ending was shot, it was “spiffed-up” a bit (technically) and for well under a million dollars it went out theatrically in late September of 2009 and pulled in $108 million in ticket sales. A film franchise was born!!
Included in this nine-disc Blu-ray set from Paramount are theatrical and unrated viewing options for Paranormal Activity, Paranormal Activity 2 (October of 2010; $84.7 million), Paranormal Activity 3 (October of 2011; $104 million), Paranormal Activity 4 (October of 2012; $53.9 million), Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones (January of 2014; $32.5 million) and Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension (October of 2015; $18.2 million).
Plus, there is Blu-ray debut of the 2021 direct-to-streaming release of director William Eubank’s Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin (included here are 20-minutes worth of deleted scenes and an alternate ending) … and documentary filmmaker Joe Bandelli’s feature-length documentary titled Unknown Dimension: The Story of Paranormal Activity.
If that isn’t enough to give you goosebumps, then wait a week and experience the horror of director William Brent Bell’s Orphan: First Kill, a prequel to the summer of 2009 chiller, Orphan.
The ARR is 60 days and box office receipts currently stand at $5.4 million.
