So-and-so's friend, a girl in her teens, is babysitting for a family in Newport Beach, Ca. The family is wealthy and has a very large house — you know the sort, with a ridiculous amount of rooms. Anyways, the parents are going out for a late dinner/movie. The father tells the babysitter that once the children are in bed she should go into this specific room (he doesn't really want her wandering around the house) and watch TV there.
The parents take off and soon she gets the kids into bed and goes to the room to watch TV. She tries watching TV, but she is disturbed by a clown statue in the corner of the room. She tries to ignore it for as long as possible, but it starts freaking her out so much that she can't handle it.
She resorts to calling the father and asks, "Hey, the kids are in bed, but is it okay if I switch rooms? This clown statue is really creeping me out."
The father says seriously, "Get the kids, go next door and call 911."
She asks, "What's going on?"
He responds, "Just go next door and once you call the police, call me back."
She gets the kids, goes next door, and calls the police. When the police are on the way, she calls the father back and asks, "So, really, what's going on?"
He responds, "We don't HAVE a clown statue." He then further explains that the children have been complaining about a clown watching them as they sleep. He and his wife had just blown it off, assuming that they were having nightmares.
The police arrive and apprehend the "clown," who turns out to be a midget. A midget clown! I guess he was some homeless person dressed as a clown, who somehow got into the house and had been living there for several weeks. He would come into the kids' rooms at nights and watch them while they slept. As the house was so large, he was able to avoid detection, surviving off their food, etc. He had been in the TV room right before the babysitter right came in there. When she entered he didn't have enough time to hide, so he just froze in place and pretended to be a statue.
There ARE at least... oh god probably like fucking 10 or 20 absolutely draining moments here, like... they really DONT CARE how long you have to wait for the payoffs-- you're forced into watching this oscillating camera attached to a fan pan back and forth between the kitchen and dining room, slowly, each time it pans the other way you expect SOMETHING to be different or to see something, and you watch this happen like a hundred times.
But yes I was too scared to be happy but I was really happy about that. Like really happy. Like a little TOO happy. My unabashed love for Halloween made that one sequence the best PA film for me.
The thing about Paranormal Activity 3 is, even after you've seen the first two, you think you can take it all, but like 75% of PA3 is roughly twenty-two thousand kilotons scarier than the first two.
I feel like this one will be unwatchable by people sitting alone at their houses. The theater is one thing, but man this one will affect you while you're alone. Hands down.
"If you make yourself more than just a man... If you devote yourself to an ideal... You become something else entirely- A Legend."

Yes. It has more than one sequence that would probably make most people turn it the fuck off, at times it gets almost too much to handle really.
I honestly can't remember being that scared throughout an entire movie. The whole time, starting with the dust falling on Toby up to the end where they sacrifice him. To me the scariest moments were: The mom jumping out of the closet, Cristie telling the mom Toby was right there, Katie running into Toby upstairs, Cristie staring at her parents for 3 hours, The sheet scene of course, and the whole ending.
"If you make yourself more than just a man... If you devote yourself to an ideal... You become something else entirely- A Legend."
Yes, the thing about Katie running into Toby upstairs was that it solidified Toby as something truly, downright horrifying. The way she looks up at him, we can't see him but she can, implied that she was petrified and completely scared shitless-- and then the noises it made, and it lifting her up by her fucking ponytail was totally disturbing
I zoned out a little to make it easier to handle. Actually I had zoned out alot at times to keep from getting scared, if I had got into the characters like I could have, I wouldn't be able to sleep for a couple of days lol
"If you make yourself more than just a man... If you devote yourself to an ideal... You become something else entirely- A Legend."
The only reason why I'm spoiling the fun is because I don't want people that read that to be under that impression... seriously the ending is pure insanity.

My ending sounds too much like The Uninvited
