New 'Paranormal Activity' Trailer Is Is Terrifying

by Kaitlin Reilly

The ghosts are coming out to play in the new Paranormal Activity film — and I'm not talking about the Casper the Friendly Ghost kind. The new trailer for Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension has hit the Internet, and it's literally all of our collective childhood nightmares realized. According to Variety, The Ghost Dimension which is the sixth film in the franchise — will be the final Paranormal Activity film, and include a brand-new twist to boot.

So, what's the twist? In the previous films, all of the ghostly activity was mostly unseen: The scares came from the unexplained, like a door shutting without reason, or a person staring at something that the audience couldn't see. This new film works a bit differently, though: In this version, a family finds a camera that provides a lens into the supernatural world. And, since the film is shot found-footage style, the audience gets to see exactly what this camera picks up. Now, visible demons slam those doors, and it's all completely terrifying.

Personally, I'm loving the new twist on this franchise. It's the perfect way to up the ante for the final film, and it's absolutely terrifying based on this trailer. Now that we're actually seeing the ghosts and demonic figures roam around the house, the new trailer also reawakens some of those childhood nightmares most of us — including myself — probably thought we had completely suppressed.

Here are just some of the most terrifying things you'll see in the trailer — because it's only going to get more intense when the movie hits theaters.

Scary Kids On Camera

The Ring ruined glitchy video tapes for me forever.

Bloody Mary

Remember that game we'd all play as kids, where we'd would lock ourselves in the bathroom and ask for "Bloody Mary" to come out of the mirror? Nothing ever happened (to me, anyway) but the possibility that it could was scary enough. In Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension, stuff actually goes down, though, so...good luck using the bathroom for the rest of the week.

Something Hiding In The Water

Like a demon. (Good thing it's not a shark though, am I right?!)

Monsters Under The Bed

Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope...

...And In Your Closet

Well, at least you're not paranoid.

Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension hits theaters Oct. 23. Check out the full trailer below:
