Where can you stream the Paranormal Activity movies?

The Paranormal Activity movies have become cult classics, and with a new movie on the way it’s the perfect time to catch up on the story ahead of the seventh movie in the franchise, titled Next of Kin. Where can you stream the Paranormal Activity movies?

Get ready for a bit of a wild goose chase, because you won’t be able to stream all of the Paranormal Activity movies in one place. You can rent or buy all six movies on Amazon Prime, but you’ll have to piece things together if you want to have a movie marathon because the movies aren’t housed in one location.

Where to watch the Paranormal Activity movies online

When the first movie came out in 2007, it was a quirky independent movie that utilized the same handheld camera and lost footage concept as The Blair Witch Project. When Hollywood got wind of the movie’s success, it was picked up by different distributors and that’s why you don’t see all of the movies in one spot. The six movies were all made under different development deals so that means they have different streaming deals, too.

Here’s a breakdown of where you can watch each of the movies in the franchise with a subscription:

• Paranormal Activity 1: Starz, Hulu, Amazon Prime (rent or buy)
• Paranormal Activity 2: Starz, Hulu, Amazon Prime (rent or buy)
• Paranormal Activity 3: Hulu, Amazon Prime (rent or buy)
• Paranormal Activity 4: Hulu, Amazon Prime (rent or buy)
• The Ghost Dimension – Paramount+, Amazon Prime (rent or buy)
• The Marked Ones – Paramount+, Amazon Prime (rent or buy)

The fascinating thing about the movie franchise is that it really captures the essence of how technology changed over the years. From clunky handheld video cameras to security cameras, to computer cameras, video game consoles and cell phone cameras, the movies reflect the changing times in a fascinating way.

As technology changed, the movies adapted along with it in an entirely plausible way. In that sense, they’re like little time capsules.

While you won’t be able to binge the movies straight through without switching platforms, you can still watch them before Next of Kin arrives on Oct. 29, 2021.
