Catfish Directors Will Make Paranormal Activity 3

After reminding everyone why dating people via the Internet is the worst possible idea on the planet in their maybe-documentary Catfish, filmmakers Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman have been tasked with taking the reins of the next installment of the Paranormal Activity horror franchise. It makes perfect sense, when you realize that Catfish was filmed almost entirely on cheap, handheld cameras, and Paranormal Activity movies are about annoying characters putting cheap, handheld cameras in strategic places to catch ghosts shaking chairs and killing annoying characters. It's like a match made in heaven!

The movie is already scheduled to release in October, meaning that, hey, maybe they should get going on this thing? Not that these movies are terribly complicated to make. Unless, of course, they want to just fall back on a plot about a ghost living inside of Facebook who tortures young, single men in New York with sexy photos and tantalizingly loving emails, only to shockingly turn out to be a fucking killer ghost. In that case, they've probably got this thing locked down.

While this is all well and good, I'm really looking forward to Paranormal Activity 4, as directed by Casey Affleck. I hear that one will be about the vengeful ghost of Casey Affleck's career.
