The hype surrounding 1999s set a precedent for the profitable horror genre; shot for a measly $22,000, the movie made almost $250 million back.

Which is why we’re not really surprised about the surfacing of Paranormal Activity 4

, set to hit cinemas in October. What we are a bit surprised about, however, is how directors Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman manage to keep thinking up plot-lines for this somewhat stagnant spooky franchise. But they do. Here’s the evidence in trailer form, via Indie Wire:
