Since walking away from the series, Landon has also broken out with some original ideas of his own in the form of the comedic slashers Happy Death Day 1 & 2, along with last year’s bloody body-swap bath Freaky.
Chris Landon wrote the screenplays to four prior Paranormal Activity movies, so one would argue there’s no better person for the job.
Plot details haven’t been released, but the seventh Paranormal Activity movie is said to continue the franchise’s model of using “found footage” for clever jump scares.
