As far as marketing goes paranormal activity definately fall into that catagory. it was a film that would have never made it to theaters had it not been for the great marketing. Showing us trailers of the audience freaking out to show us it was so scary instead of letting scenes from the movie do it. There were not enough scenes in the movie to make an interesting trailer, dont think people sleeping and a burning ouija board would have done it so they use a great marketing campaign to get people to watch it.
If anyone wants to, make your own trailer of the movie using only scenes from the movie and it actually be good and show the suspence and be better than the "theater audience" trailer and I will officially bow to you. I dont think it can be done
