A LEGENDARY horror film franchise is being turned into a surprising spin-off after Netflix decided to axe the movies.<\/p>\n
Paranormal Activity has sold the rights to be developed into a West End stage play as the film series wraps up.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
Netflix bosses previously announced their decision to remove the second, third and fourth film from the streaming platform this autumn.<\/p>\n
But now it looks like the spooky series will come back to life in theatres.<\/p>\n
The American supernatural franchise follows families being haunted and murdered, and is filmed in a found-footage style similar to the Blair Witch Project.<\/p>\n
The first seven films have already been released, but Blumhouse Productions CEO Jason Blum called the seventh a "terrible" movie and hinted that the franchise would be coming to an end.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He told Vanity Fair: "It has been enough already. That last Paranormal Activity movie was terrible.<\/p>\n
"With Halloween, we only had the rights to three movies, so we said: Halloween Ends! It ends for Blumhouse, at least. With other things, you just have this feeling it's time to put them to bed.<\/p>\n
"It would come back if some director I love, like Scott Derrickson, said: 'I have a great idea for a Paranormal Activity movie'. But it's not something I want to do [at the moment]."<\/p>\n
Now Broadway producer Simon Friend has revealed he got the license to turn the horror franchise into a play. <\/p>\n
