'Paranormal Activity 2' updated trailer: an Easter egg to give you nightmares

Paranormal Activity 2 his theaters in five weeks, on Oct. 22. For those fans counting down the days (39), Paramount has updated the spooky trailer first unveiled in June. What’s new this time around? A creepy Easter egg involving the baby we first spotted in that crib. Unfortunately, the extra goody disappears when we embed the trailer here (below). But it’s there on the PA2 site if you know how to look for it. Which we do!

Here’s how: A little more than halfway through the trailer, after you see pots and pans dangling in the kitchen, and right when you spot the dog lying on the bedroom floor, move the playhead back a few seconds. It might take a couple of tries before it catches, but once it does, well, it creeped me out. It all goes by very quickly — and you can’t hit pause here — but the screen will shake and you’ll see a series of photos of the baby, held (presumably) by her mother, who in the very first shot has a bright green thumb. (Somehow, I doubt this is a clue to the sequel’s gardening subtext.) There’s also some blurry text and, when you hold the playhead still at just the right moment, you see the baby crawling next to what looks like a dancing figure. Creep-o. What does it all mean? You tell me, PopWatchers.

      Pull it back to the dancing figure…then pull it back a little more. You’ll see the series the series of snapshots.

    If you stick around after the “Parnormal Activity” title appears, the screen returns to the house scene– only this time, the dog is gone and the baby is ONLY VISIBLE in the mirror, not the actual crib

  • MICHELLE

    I was able to see the “dancing” figure, looks like its headless, creapy!! Can’t wait!

    at the end of the trailer, it sticks to the frame with the baby’s reflection in the mirror but no baby in the actual crib. it continues to zoom in. eventually i closed my browser ’cause i got too nervous that something was gonna pop out. anything happened afterwards? :p

    • ness

      nope, it just zooms in on the baby till you cant even make out what your looking at then fades out.

  • mel

    Also another easter egg at the end…where it flashes up Paranormal 2 Activity…there’s a distorted sound clip. Trying to find a way to slow it down or speed it up.

    I couldn’t see anything. :( Just the dog laying on the ground, and the baby laying in the crib. Maybe I’m not looking in the right spot, I don’t know, I must be retarded, haha. So excited for the movie though!
