The Paranormal Activity Timeline in Chronological Order
13,973It used to be, when things went bump in the night, you'd have to frantically try to convince your loved ones it was something otherworldly based on your word alone. Not so in the 21st century! The Paranormal Activity series brought good old caught on camera, found footage horror home in a big way with its humble beginnings as an indie passion project for director Oren Peli. Subsequent Paranormal Activity movies revealed that initial haunting was only part of a much larger picture that spans decades and even dips back and forth through time. Yes, time travel is a thing in Paranormal Activity! So with Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin starting the franchise back up on Paramount+, let's take a look at the Paranormal Activity Timeline in Chronological Order. Spoilers for each and every movie ahead!
From Paranormal Activity 1 to Paranormal Activity 2 to Paranormal Activity 3 to Paranormal Activity 4, and then all the ones that dropped the numbers in their titles - The Marked Ones, The Ghost Dimension, and Next of Kin - this video tells the full Paranormal Activity story so far. You want a Paranormal Activity ending explained? We cover all that here as well. Wondering about Katie from Paranormal Activity? Got you too. Need answers to all your Asmodeus, Tobi, and Book of Tobit questions. WE ARE ON IT.
Weirdly enough, the Paranormal Activity timeline starts in 1988 with the third film, where sisters Katie and Kristi Featherston live with mom Julie and her videographer boyfriend Dennis in a house with some pretty amazing sightlines that'll come in handy later. Grandma Lois comes by for visits to see the girls and to nose into Julie's personal life. Kristi has been talking to a new imaginary friend, Tobi, whose presence seems to be coinciding with some strange occurrences around the house, like dust falling onto invisible entities! Dennis decides to set up cameras throughout the house to try and catch Tobi on camera, even setting one up on an oscillating fan base to get a better look of the downstairs. But Tobi's pretty camera shy, so he's content to let Kristi do the talking for now.
And of course, you know where it goes from here. We've got Paranormal Activity portals, we've got Paranormal Activity ghosts, we've got Paranormal Activity creepy kids, and we've got Paranormal Activity regular people who freak out and do really, really bad things. It's, like, all really PARANORMAL. So watch our full timeline chronology of Paranormal Activity to get the full story on this enduring horror series.
