A new scary movie is coming just in time for Halloween. The super-low-budget movie titled 'Paranormal Activity' looks to be a very exciting, truly scary movie just in time for Halloween. 'Paranormal Activity' premieres on September 25 in select theaters.

If you want to be truly scared by a movie, you need to have something unexpected happen in a movie, something truly different and maybe also truly familiar. Imagine if you and your loved one were haunted by a ghost in real life. That is basically the premise of a new movie called 'Paranormal Activity.'

The movie has a running time of 99 minutes and is being distributed by Paramount Pictures.
