Dear Paranormal Activity,

A wise man by the name of Albert Einstein once said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.  While I’ve joked, on numerous occasions I might add, about that very topic, it has never really rang true.  Until now.  You see, I knew last October that we hadn’t seen the last of you.  So naturally I wasn’t surprised to see you pimping yourself out with the teasers (which seriously, those are really unnecessary), trailers, clips, etc.  It’s that time of year when the horror…or should I say “horror” movies come out of the woodwork, so of course you were going show up again.

This week seems to be a mix of comics and creepy.  Oh and a little smidge of action thrown in for good measure.  There have been some great trailers coming out in the last couple of weeks.  With Comic-Con taking place this weekend I suspect there will be loads of footage to feast on for the next week or so.  Until then..onward ho!
