Paranormal Activity Movies: Release Order
The Paranormal Activity franchise revolutionized found-footage horror with its low-budget, high-impact approach to supernatural terror. Beginning with the original film's simple setup of a couple documenting strange occurrences in their home, the series expanded into a complex mythology involving generational curses, demonic entities, and occult conspiracies.
This release order includes all seven films, though viewers should note that Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin (2021) is a standalone soft reboot with no connection to the main storyline. The other films form an interconnected saga centered around sisters Katie and Kristi, with prequels and sequels revealing the dark history behind their family's curse.
