Paramount Held an “Open House” Prank at the Paranormal Activity House
I’m glad to see they got Oren Peli’s original house back, as opposed to recreating it on a set. And now we have some idea just how many of the effects were practical, as unsuspecting real-life house-shoppers get to “experience the activity” in person, without having realized where they are.
Note that every single one of these participants does what NOBODY in a movie does when shit gets crazy – leave the house immediately. We were just talking about this, right?
