To promote Paranormal Activity 3, Paramount has been marketing the film by sending VHS's and VCR's to the homes of horror blog editors, with a message to record their television and put the video online. This has consequently erupted in a bunch of new clips on Youtube, that may or may not actually be from Paranormal Activity 3, but these three clips are definitely from the movie and are definitely scary.
