I arrived home yesterday to a plain manila envelope with no return address and a black USB key inside. Without even thinking about the fact that the USB stick could be loaded with a virus, I inserted it into my laptop to see what was on it. It appears that those sneaky devils at Paramount Pictures were behind the package as there was a video clip from their upcoming film Paranormal Activity 2 (which you should demand opens in Canada) loaded on the key.

The short clip, below, has no context or description but is creepy as all hell. And it seems that I’m not the only one who received one of these packages as other sites have posted different videos they received.

Dim the lights, enjoy this eerie clip, and get prepared for more scares on October 22 when Paranormal Activity 2 opens in theatres.
