An all new trailer has been released for Chicago Shakespeare Theater's production of Paranormal Activity, an original story based on Paramount Pictures’ terrifying film franchise—now live on stage. Check out the video here!
This new PARANORMAL ACTIVITY play (based on Paramount Pictures’ PARANORMAL ACTIVITY horror films) has terrific stage effects and absolutely creeped me out. Based on the merits of the script alone, there’s not much to recommend in the material. But it leaves plenty of room for creepy effects and terrifying stage surprises — and the inventive and frightful production is definitely the selling point!
