I ventured out to the theater Saturday night to see Paranormal Activity because the suspense was killing me! I must say that I was slightly annoyed at the fact that I had no choice but to pay more to watch it in the "Director's Hall". The only difference between this theater and the regular one is the fact that they have leather seats and ushers available nearby so you don't need to wait in line to order a . bottle of water.

He claims that the house was always full of noises but does not attest to it actually being haunted. He claims that the house was settling and that he and his girlfriend r...
