So what’d y’all think of that PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 2 trailer we saw early this morn?

Well it looks like it may have been too frightening for some. You see, Variety is reporting that the teaser trailer, which was attached to various midnight screenings of ECLIPSE, was yanked from Texas theaters by Cinemark after various complaints deemed the clip too scary. Now that’s some good mothafu*kin’ pub!

Cinemark also warned Paramount they may continue to pull the trailer from ECLIPSE screenings if complaints persist. Of course, since TWILIGHT is anything but scary, I’d bet the house the complaints WILL continue to mount.

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, written by Michael R. Perry and directed by Tod Williams, makes theatergoers blanch October 22, 2010.

Take another look at the trailer below and let us know how scary (or not) you find it to be.
