Paranormal Activity on Broadway Announces Free Halloween Film Screening - The Arts Shelf

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY on Broadway will host a free screening of the original Paranormal Activity film outside the August Wilson Theatre to celebrate Halloween on October 31, 2026. Written by Levi Holloway and directed by Felix Barrett, PARANORMAL ACTIVITY recently announced an eight-week extension due to popular demand, with the smash-hit show now playing through February 28, 2027.

Fans are encouraged to bring their own chair, blanket, or something comfortable to sit on and come to 52nd street between Broadway and 8th Avenue to experience the film. Attendees will have the chance to win a free pair of tickets to a future performance.

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY is a new story live on Broadway based on the hugely successful films, first written and directed by Oren Peli and brought to the screen by Blumhouse and Solana Films. James and Lou move from Chicago to London to escape their past, but they soon discover that places aren’t haunted, people are. With an original story inspired by the film franchise, PARANORMAL ACTIVITY reimagines the modern ghost story with an intimacy that only live theatre can provide.

Written by Levi Holloway (Grey House) and directed by Felix Barrett (Sleep No More), PARANORMAL ACTIVITY stars Cher Álvarez as Lou, Travis A. Knight as James, Shannon Cochran as Carolanne, and Eva Kaminsky as Etheline Cotgrave with understudies Caron Buinis, Caroline Hendricks, and Michael Holding. Álvarez, Knight, Cochran, Buinis, Hendricks, and Holding are all making their Broadway debuts and reprising their roles from previous productions across North America.

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY features scenic and costume design by Tony Award Nominee Fly Davis (Caroline, Or Change 2021), illusions design by Tony Award Winner Chris Fisher (Stranger Things: The First Shadow), lighting design by Anna Watson (Giant), sound design by Tony Award Winner Gareth Fry (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child), video and projections design by Drama Desk Award Winner Luke Halls (The Lehman Trilogy), and General Management by Envoy Theatricals/Samuel Dallas & Marty McGuire.
