The first time I saw Paranormal Activity 2 (2010) was with an audience, and I was terrified. I can not watch either of the "Paranormal" films, alone.

I tried once to watch Paranormal Activity (2007) alone because I had a different version of it - a new cut. And I said, "Oh, I want to see what they changed". And I put it in and got to the first knife scene and had to turn it off. I was like, "No, no, no, no, no. I can't do this".

My favorite scary movie is Candyman (1992). I love being scared, so [Halloween] is kind of the perfect time of year to have scary movie marathons.
