'Paranormal Activity' Invades Fan's Home

Sweepstakes winner announced; film's promotions, DVD/Blu-ray releases detailed

"Paranormal Activity" comes home on DVD and Blu-ray Dec. 29, and into the house of one lucky sweepstakes winner.

Propelled by a sharp social media campaign and enthusiastic word-of-mouth from fans, "Paranormal Activity" is hailed as a horror phenomenon and one of the scariest movies of all time, ultimately earning over $100 million at the domestic box office.

The film follows a young couple who believe their house may be haunted and who decide to document the strange events on video.

To celebrate, Paramount Home Entertainment will host the world premiere of an unrated version of the film for Jessica DiMeo of Rehoboth, Mass., the winner of the "Paranormal Activity" Red Carpet Home Screening sweepstakes.

DiMeo will receive a brand new home theater system and an exclusive, red carpet premiere in her home that will be attended by "Paranormal Activitys" writer-director Oren Peli, Dec. 28.

'Paranormal Activity' became a hit because it was championed by fans across the country, said Peli. Im delighted to be celebrating the DVD and Blu-ray debut with one of those fans.

I am so excited, said DiMeo. 'Paranormal Activity' was one of the scariest movies Ive seen and I cant wait to meet the director and be the first person to see the alternate ending on Blu-ray with my brand new home theater system!

The fan support for 'Paranormal Activity' made the film not just a success, but a true phenomenon, said Dennis Maguire, president Paramount Worldwide Home Entertainment.
