When you look back on the year that was 2009 there are some movies that you knew would make a ton of money (Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Up), others that exceeded expectations (The Hangover, Zombieland, Paul Blart: Mall Cop) and those that just came from nowhere and in that last category is supernatural horror, Paranormal Activity. It’s not out in the UK until the end of the month, but stateside has been a sensation, the low-budget ($15,000) chiller taking nearly $87,000 so far, making it the biggest earning independent ever, overtaking the similarly filmed, The Blair Witch Project. This runaway success has been built on viral marketing, Paramount Pictures encouraging fans to “demand” the movie show at their cinema and they certainly answered in their numbers. And now to maintain this audience interaction, the studio is inviting people to submit their name for inclusion in the credits of the movie’s DVD release.

In the studio’s press release, Amy Powell, Paramount Pictures’ senior vice president for interactive marketing explains: “The success of Paranormal Activity would not have been possible without the million-plus fans that went to the ParanormalMovie.com official website and demanded the movie in their home town. They demanded the movie and they got it. So now we are giving them credit where credit is due.”

Sounds like a plan to us. To see your name listed at the end of the film as one of those being thanked for their support, click on the link below and simply enter your name and details. The chance for Hollywood immortality closes on Monday 9th November, so get in quick for official inclusion in the Paranormal Activity phenomenon.
