Edit this Page

By embracing the heart of its premise, even at the risk of being too serious or emotional, this horror comedy manages to instantly fall into that timeless genre of animated movies that work as well, if not better, for adults than kids.

Sam Fell Directed By		previously directed The Tale of Despereaux
	Chris Butler Directed By

The last hope for a town attacked by zombies is the one boy who sees ghosts.

Trivia:

Many TV spots advertising ParaNorman used pieces from Danny Elfman's Beetlejuice score.

Reference: The Exorcist

In PARANORMAN, the witch's head spins around like Linda Blair's head did in THE EXORCIST.
