Did a 'Paranormal Activity' screener haunt Steven Spielberg's home?

POSTED BY Buckminster Schumacker III | SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 20 AT 10:05 PDT 

According to a new L.A. Times article, Paranormal Activity isn't just a film about a haunting; the film itself may actually be haunted - at least, if Steven Spielberg is to be believed. John Horn's article cites a source within Dreamworks as having said that, upon viewing a DVD screener at his Malibu home, Mr. Spielberg was inexplicably locked inside his bedroom and had to call a locksmith in order to get out. And upon his eventual release, the man who gave us Poltergeist tossed the screener in a trash bag and brought it straight back to the Dreamworks offices.

Viral marketing hooey, or a legendary filmmaker genuinely freaked out by a film? Or even better... is there a standard def ghost in the Blu-Ray machine? Read the whole article over at the L.A. Times, where you can find out just how this scrappy $5000 do-it-yourself movie is being distributed by the folks behind Star Trek and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. 

And cower at the convincing scares in the trailer after the jump. 

Paranormal Activity opens in limited release on September 25th, 2009

    I just saw this alone last night! EXCELLENT MOVIE!!! Quite possibly the scariest movie of all time! I recommend anyone to watch it! I had to tell myself everything was going to be okay and that it wasn't real and fell asleep to Nick @ Nite :D The ending will leave you shaken up even if you've read spoilers. It was all well put together. I WILL watch it again and again! :D
