Paranormal Activity announces further West End extension and late-night Halloween performance

Paranormal Activity has confirmed a sixth extension of its West End run at the Ambassadors Theatre, as well as an extra late-night performance on Halloween.

The stage adaptation, inspired by the hit horror franchise, is also in the midst of a 20-week Broadway season at the August Wilson Theatre and a UK and Ireland tour.

The West End production stars Ty Fanning as James, Ami Okumura Jones as Lou, Kirsty Bushell as Etheline Cotgrave and Pippa Winslow as Carolanne.

The new booking period runs from 4 January to 27 February 2027, following the production’s reopening for a second West End season.

The additional Halloween show on Saturday, 31 October will commence at 10.30pm, following performances at both 2.30pm and 7pm.

Paranormal Activity is directed by Felix Barrett, founder and artistic director of Punchdrunk, and written by Levi Holloway, whose credits include Grey House.

The creative team includes Fly Davis as set and costume designer, Chris Fisher as illusions designer, Anna Watson as lighting designer, Gareth Fry as sound designer, Luke Halls as video designer, Stuart Burt and Ginny Schiller as casting directors, and Anna Marshall as associate director.

The production originally ran at Leeds Playhouse before transferring to the West End, where it played at the Ambassadors Theatre from 5 December 2025 to 25 April 2026.

It subsequently toured North America, visiting Chicago Shakespeare Theater, Center Theatre Group and the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles, Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington DC, American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, CAA Ed Mirvish Theatre in Toronto and Emerson Colonial Theatre in Boston, before beginning its Broadway run on 14 August 2026.

The original Paranormal Activity film was released by Paramount Pictures in 2009 and was followed by six further films.

Paranormal Activity is produced by Simon Friend and Hanna Osmolska for Melting Pot in association with Gavin Kalin, Ken Davenport, Jenny King, Patrick Gracey, Jonathan and Rae Corr and Leeds Playhouse.

The production is recommended for ages 15 and over… because it is terrifying.
