Could The Paranormal Activity Stage Play Popularize Horror Stage Productions?

​A new stage play adaptation of the Paranormal Activity franchise has garnered considerable online interest. Paranormal Activity is a new stage play revolving around an original story set within the infamous horror franchise.

​The play follows the couple James and Lou as they move into a London apartment when strange happenings occur. It has been written by a playwright from Chicago to escape the past, but they soon discover that Levi Holloway was originally directed by Felix Barrett.

​Despite numerous amounts of skepticism on the quality of the play before its debut, the Paranormal Activity stage play has pleasantly surprised a majority of its audience.

​Not only does it get praise for its intriguing story, It has managed to unease and even scare audience members. Additionally, the play’s scare factor was helped by the Tony Award-winning illusion director and designer Chris Fisher, whose work on the play enhanced its scares.

​While theater is no stranger to plays and musicals with horror elements, few have seen a production that genuinely terrifies its audiences in a similar vein to horror films.

​While a stage play adaptation might not create a one-to-one experience from its original films, Paranormal Activity might be the first to bring that to the stage.

​Since the play’s debut at the Chicago theater, its success has led to more upcoming showings in Los Angeles, New York City, and Washington D.C. Hopefully, its continuing success will see the creation of future productions and see user in a new wave of horror theater plays in the industry.
