Finally, after years of waiting and one hell of a theatrical run, the movie that scared the hell out of most of the world, Oren Peli's Paranormal Activity, is coming home courtesy of Paramount Home Entertainment; and we've got the whens and whats for you first!
On December 29, 2009, the film will hit home just in time to ring in the new year with a scream. The DVD and two-disc Blu-ray include the original theatrical version of the film plus an unrated version with a shocking alternate ending not seen in theaters. No word yet on which ending this will be, but the smart money is on the festival ending. The Blu-ray also includes a digital copy of the theatrical version.
Honestly ... this release is kind of shockingly skimpy. Could an extas-heavy version be on the horizon sometime in 2010? We wouldn't be a bit surprised.

I downloaded a perfect copy of the movie, but I'll still end up buying the Blu-Ray. I want multiple endings! To be perfectly honest, the theatrical ending kind of ruined the movie for me. Everything was so fresh and anti-Hollywood and then the ending was typical Hollywood cliche BOO shit. It just didn't fit. It went from psuedo-reality based to completely unrealistic and gimmicky.
*UPDATE* I just fastforwarded to the ending of my copy I downloaded, and it's NOT the theatrical ending. So I'd be willing to bet this is the one they will be using on the DVD.

I've seen two of the endings, but I really want to see the slit version.

This whole 'Digital Copy' bullshit they're putting on Blu-Ray discs can go and get fucked.
If I'm buying a high-def version of a film I don't give a shit about paying five more dollars for some utterly useless low-res copy.

Those of us who travel a lot appreciate having a copy to put onto ipods and such (at least until I get a blu-ray drive on the computer). It also makes it easier to show the movie to folks who don't have a blu-ray player (especially this movie, which definitely qualifies as an "oh, you have to see this right now" film.) I'd prefer it came with a DVD copy, like the Disney ones do, but oh well.

How about including all of the multiple endings that Creepy has alluded to?

That's what I'm saying!
