It all started as a little, micro-budget horror flick 3 years ago, that has now become a phenomenon (pun intended) and one highly anticipated trilogy. Oren Peli’s Paranormal Activity is just that, and the viral marketing campaign for the upcoming third installment is just beginning.
Over the weekend, several news outlets received a VHS tape and VCR in the mail that had some pretty scary stuff on it. Just enough to get you to pee yourself with both fear and anticipation for what the next film has to bring us.
Here’s what we can look forward to in terms of a story.
The third film takes place in 1988, when Katie and Kristi were kids. While trying to get video proof of Bloody Mary, Katie and Kristi are first confronted by the monstrous demon haunting them in the first and second movies along with their family.
Check out two of the static-filled videos after the jump, and catch Paranormal Activity 3 in theaters on October 21st.

We live in a fast-paced world where nobody has any time for anything anymore. Even a 30-minute comedy takes up too much time and DVR’s are blowing through most of them. With that in mind, Syfy has broken down the crux of Being Human season one into two solid minutes.
Much like the network has done in the past for such shows as Battlestar Galactica or even sister shows like V or Lost, this is a race through everything you need to know about the upcoming series, breaking it down to literally the lowest common denominator.
Based on the BBC series of the same name, Being Human follows three friends that live together. The only difference here is that one is a vampire, one’s a werewolf, and one is the spirit of the girl who was killed in the apartment.
A little bit Twilight. a little bit Friends. Just the right combination to pull in a crowd from every demographic. Check out the two minute summary after the jump, and catch the premiere on Monday, January 17th at 9/8 central only on Syfy.

We’ve been bringing you previews for these two cool shows for several weeks now and today is no exception as we’ve got more videos from Ghost Hunters and Destination Truth to share today. And make no mistake, these look like a couple of great episodes.
First off, we’ve got a clip from Ghost Hunters where Britt and Andy make contact with the victim of a shocking crime. What’s more shocking is how scary this turns out to be. Next up on Destination Truth, Josh Gates and the team search for an evil spirit plaguing one of the world’s seven wonders. But really, it’s a wonder the team makes it out alive. Sorry, couldn’t help myself.
It all starts tonight at 9/8C with Ghost Hunters followed by Destination Truth only on Syfy. Check out the previews after the jump.

In additon to the awesome Psych season finale airing tonight, another of our favorite shows is airing a new episode as well: Ghost Hunters. This week, in an episode eititled “Fort Ticonderoga” the team heads a famous revolutionary war battleground in search of one thing: ghosts.
As they are in a place where thousands of men fought and died you can imagine thie are is probably full of ghosts just waiting to scar the crap out of the team. In the clip we get a glimpse of the area where the battle took place and follow the team as they attempt to uncover the secrets buried there. Fortunately for us, the viewing audience, those secrets don’t stay buried for long.
Check out the preview after the jump. Ghost Hunters airs tonight at 9/8C on Syfy.

If you’ve been watching Syfy’s Ghost Hunters International you know the team has dealt with some pretty crazy stuff during this season. In truth, it’s probably never easy to deal with ghosts and tonight’s winter finale of the show is no exception.
In tonight’s episode entitled “The Legend of Rose Hall,” the team travels to Jamaica tracking the White Witch. In this preview, they set up some devices to track the movement of the ghost and also discuss several other techniques that help them in their work.
The show looks pretty interesting but I’ve always wondered why they shoot shows like this in the dark with a night vision camera. Do ghosts really know the difference between day and night or light and dark? Wouldn’t they still come out if their was light in the room? Just curious.
Anyway, check out the preview after the jump. The Ghost Hunters International season finale airs tonight at 9/8C on Syfy.
