Where to start with Paranormal Activity

Release order is the right way through this one, because the second film is a prequel that overshoots the first and the third goes back to 1988. Every reveal is written to land in the order they came out.

  1. 1
    Paranormal Activity (2007) Paranormal Activity

    A camera in a bedroom and almost nothing else, which is the whole idea and the reason it worked. Nothing before it, and everything after it is filling in around it.

  2. 2
    Paranormal Activity 2 (2010) Paranormal Activity 2

    A prequel that starts two months earlier, runs underneath the first film and then carries on past its ending. It is the film that turns a haunting into a family.

  3. 3
    Paranormal Activity 3 (2011) Paranormal Activity 3

    Back to 1988 and the two sisters as children, framed by a scene in 2005. It explains where the thing came from, which the first two films deliberately never do.

Then what? After that, the fourth film jumps to 2011, The Marked Ones follows a different family in 2012 and loops back into the first film's last scene, and The Ghost Dimension closes the story in 2013. Next of Kin is a reboot with no connection to any of it and can be watched whenever, or not at all.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Every franchise you have touched, in one code.

Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
