Paramount Pictures will debut the Slamdance and Telluride Film Festival favorite PARANORMAL ACTIVITY at a midnight screening on September 24 at the Alamo Draft House to kick off Austin’s Fantastic Fest.

Directed, written and produced by Oren Peli, the innovative thriller stars Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat. The film was produced by Jason Blum. Steven Schneider served as executive producer.
“Midnight at Fantastic Fest is the ideal place to launch the theatrical release of PARANORMAL ACTIVITY,” says Knowles. “Like the main couple in the movie, I dare anyone in the audience to try and sleep the rest of the night.”
In PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, after a young, middle class couple moves into what seems like a typical suburban “starter” tract house, they become increasingly disturbed by a presence that may or may not be demonic, but is certainly most active in the middle of the night. Especially when they sleep. Or try to.
