[Trailhead?] Paranormal Activity 2 trailer

The trailer for Paranormal Activity 2 has been posted here: http://www.paranormalmovie.com/

In it are some ARG-esque items that may be a trailhead, part of the viral advertising, or just there for the hell of it.

There's the the obvious "big scary thing" in the trailer,
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
When Katie appears in the doorway, the baby is in mirror but not in the crib.

But of unfiction interest, there is at least one hidden message. Watch the trailer on the official URL, as apparently the final shot with the hidden message doesn't show on the embedded versions.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
In the final shot of the trailer (see screen shots below), there is writing on the floor's reflection that reads, "What is happening to Hunter?" Presumably this is the baby's name and plot of the film.


Additionally, there are some backwards audio towards the end of the trailer, but I haven't tried to figure it out yet.

Found someone on YouTube who has done some work with the audio: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GpSk60cJ7Y
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It possibly says, "There is no return"

Saw this too. So far this seems like nothing at the text doesn't seem to help lead us very far. But hopefully this becomes some sort of ARG.

The hunter there is written with a small 'h' so I don't think this is name of the boy, instead it can refeer to this 'monster' that has been scaring the public in the trailer and so on... however I can't help very much cuz i didn't watch the first part of the series. Didn't found anythin interestion in the rest of the trailer also... the only thing that caught my attention is the moving sofa chiar (there is little blink of light near its side) and bottle at the outside picture (left down corner) it may refeer to something, I didn't found anything in the page source too, however i'll be glad to join the fun if it turns out to be ARG.
Cheers.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The "monster" is Katie, the protagonist's girlfriend in the first, who becomes posessed at the end of the movie. There is an epilogue that says Katie is never found. And with the explaination of the movie over...


You might be onto something with the "h"unter theory...

So we're docking the demon because it didn't use proper grammar? Smile
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
What is happening to [the monster]? doesn't make much sense to me.


I read a post on another site where someone speculated the backwards audio may be saying
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
There is no Hunter.

If you look at the video you posted, he changed his mind to
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
hunter
as well.

Very cool I didn't realize the sequel would be out so soon. If this turns into an ARG I'm so there!

So i think we could talk here about some very wierd dialouge (forgive me if my spelling is wrong):
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
-What is happening to hunter?
[Anwser]-There is no hunter.
If that reffers to Katie maybe its about her possesion, that it is fake (She's mentally insaine or sumtin') (?)
If it's about the baby it could mean that Katie never had a kid ( I presume that this kid was more or less hers ) and her demon has been faking her reality she lived in (?)
If it is about the dog.... then i don't have any speculations...

Good theories, but I don't think she was faking it, considering everything that happened in the movie.

I saw it and i thought she went to an awful lot of trouble to get rid of that doucebag husband.

Instead of a paranormal specialist she should have contacted a divorce lawyer

Good Find! I liked the movie so iīll be reading this offten.

But, theres no clue that the Girl is Katie, at least for me... Itīs the same house, however.

Maybe when the web comes in we get more clues. Very Happy
