Paranormal Activity and Blumhouse Holiday Party!
L-r: Andrew Jacobs, Angela Ortíz, Gabrielle Walsh and Jorge Diaz
We attended the Paranormal Activity and Blumhouse Holiday Party and had a great time being scared, even thought I didn’t do the walk through experience. My friends that did, really enjoyed it, but they enjoy being super scared. I enjoy it from a distance.
I got to talk to three of the actors (Gabrielle Walsh, Jorge Diaz, and Andrew Jacobs) from my favorite movie of the franchise, Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones. See the video interview below.
A few images from the evening with producer Jason Blum, actors Gabrielle Walsh, Don McManus, Jorge Diaz, Andrew Jacobs, and Kathryn Newton
It looked like everyone had a great time; even though the Paranormal franchise has come to an end with the release of Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension 3D a few months ago. But I am sure there’s something to come in the future; with the title Paranormal in it.
Gabrielle Walsh, Jorge Diaz and Andrew Jacobs The Marked Ones
For those of you not familiar with the franchise, here’s a list of the films: Paranormal Activity, Paranormal Activity 2, Paranormal Activity 3, Paranormal Activity 4, Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones, and the last one, The Ghost Dimension 3D is available on Digital HD now and will be coming out on Blu-ray/DVD combo packs on January 12, 2016.
