PARANORMAL ACTIVITY is Being Adapted as a Stage Play
The hit horror film Paranormal Activity is being adapted as a stage play thanks to Simon Friend Entertainment, who previously produced a Broadway stage play of Life of Pi.
Paranormal Activity was created by Orne Peli, and he wrote, directed, and shot the first installment of the long-running franchise, which was made on a micro-budget. That first movie is considered to be among the most profitable movies ever made, grossing $193.4 million globally.
The first film, which was released in 2007, a young couple, Katie and Micah, experience disturbing supernatural occurrences in their San Diego home. To capture evidence of these events, Micah sets up a camera in their bedroom. As the nights progress, they witness increasingly alarming paranormal phenomena, including objects moving on their own and shadowy figures appearing. Seeking help, they consult a psychic who believes a malevolent entity is after Katie. Despite warnings, Micah's attempts to confront the presence intensify the haunting, leading to a chilling climax where Katie's behavior becomes eerily unsettling, culminating in a terrifying final night.
The Paranormal Activity stage play is in early development and is being written by Levi Holloway, who wrote the horror-tinged Broadway play Grey House.
It’ll be interesting to see how they pull this off as a stage play. It actually could end up being a really fun and creepy production if they get inventive with how they pull off some of the scares.
