PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 8 Eyeing 2023 Release Date?!

Just like a pesky demon that won’t go away, the Paranormal Activity franchise is still haunting things here and there. Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension, at one time, was positioned to be the final film in the franchise but then we got Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin from Paramount+ and that left a few unanswered questions for the franchise. Next of Kin was the 7th film tied into the franchise and now we are hearing rumblings about an 8th installment.

Variety ran a brand new interview with Jason Blum over the weekend, and included within that article is the mention of a mysterious new installment in the Paranormal Activity saga.

The website reports, “Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin premiered in 2021, with another installment currently eyeing a 2023 release.” Interesting to note, that eighth movie is also currently listed on Wikipedia, under the title Paranormal Activity: The Other Side.

Wikipedia indicates that Paranormal Activity 8 will return to the original storyline. So that has our interest peaked a little.

“The Other Side will feature four young friends who move into Katie and Kristi’s childhood house together before college starts, only to discover the gruesome past of their home and it’s connection to the 1988 incidents. Set in the 1990s, it will reportedly address the fire that destroyed the property which has only been mentioned briefly in a few past installments.”

Oren Peli (Paranormal Activity) reportedly wrote the script, with Wincent Sommers (Slender Man: Origins) directing. Again, this is according to Wikipedia, rather than an official report so take it for what you will.

The cast for Paranormal Activity 8 reportedly includes Sonja Gerhardt, Chethrin Schulze, Nika Sofie, Tamara Hitz, Chany Dakota, Leon Pelz.

Stay tuned for more info as we learn it.
