Here's the alternate ending for Paranormal Activity. It's really dumb and the ending they went with is 1000 times better. Thank goodness for Speilberg stepping in.
I got sent a screener for this from a friend of mine at Paramount, and this was the ending it had. What happened in the theatrical version? I know Micah gets tossed at the camera at some point (because that wasn't in the version I watched), but what else?
Micah runs out of the room after hearing Katie scream....then after a moment he gets thrown into the room at the camera, knocking it over. Katie has blood on her shirt, and then leans over Micah and smells him I guess.
Then she looks at the camera, smiles faintly, and then lunges at the camera...screaming while having some kind of possessed looking face.
The theatrical ending is so cheap and uneffective. It reminded me of those scare videos on youtube. Sure I jumped, my arm hairs stood up but that was it. This ending is far superior
