'Paranormal Activity 5' will Take Us to 'The Ghost Dimension' in 2015

After we didn't get a Paranormal Activity film in 2013, Paramount was set to hit us over the head with two of them this year. The first was the Latino-themed 'The Marked Ones', while Paranormal Activity 5 would arrive in October. With no casting and zero marketing it was obvious that wasn't happening, but now we know when Paranormal Activity 5 will be haunting theaters and what it's official title will be.

Paranormal Activity 5 has been retitled Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension, and will arrive on March 13th 2015. Gregory Plotkin is directing from a script by Jason Pagan that will continue the story of the Katie demon's terrorizing in some way. But a title like 'The Ghost Dimension' suggests we could be seeing something different than the rattling windows, night terrors, and home movies we're accustomed to from the franchise. One of the benefits of the surprisingly effective 'The Marked Ones' was that it broadened the Paranormal Activity universe to include other supernatural elements. While 'The Ghost Dimension' will continue to follow a family whose daughters are threatened by a supernatural menace, clearly something else will be going on. I suspect we'll be seeing more crossing over with 'The Marked Ones.

Also, Paramount has moved Scouts vs. Zombies, which had been in the slot now occupied by Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension, to February 201th 2015. Directed by Christopher Landon (writer and director of the Paranormal Activity series), the horror comedy stars Tye Sheridan, Logan Miller, and Joey Morgan as scouts must save their town from a zombie outbreak.
