About Paranormal Activity
Paranormal Activity is a global pop-culture phenomenon and found-footage horror film franchise that originally began with its 2007 movie release. The hit supernatural series built its enduring reputation on chilling atmosphere and terrifying jump scares, eventually expanding beyond the silver screen into a live theatrical stage production in New York City.
Translating the iconic cinematic fright fest into a live stage play presented a unique challenge for theater producers, as live supernatural horror remains a relatively rare endeavor on Broadway. Lead producer and Blumhouse founder Jason Blum helped guide the project, bringing the famous franchise into the auditorium to recreate its signature terrifying atmosphere in real time for theatergoers.
In August 2026, Blum hosted an exclusive special live performance for the Paranormal Activity stage adaptation at the historic August Wilson Theatre in Manhattan. The high-profile production formed part of a crowded fall Broadway season featuring major Hollywood stars, giving dedicated fans a chance to experience the supernatural horror franchise live on stage.
