Paranormal Activity 3 – This is the “Extended Version”…which I’ve never seen. It will be interesting to see if there’s anything good that we didn’t see in the version we watched in the theater.
The video starts with the video showing a nursery being painted. We have a VERY pregnant Kristi (2nd movie) painting the nursery wall.

March, 2005
Aunt Katie comes in and sees the progress of the nursery. The 3 (Daniel, Kristi & Katie) debate on names. Katie then asks if she can put some boxes in their basement to store. Remember movie 2? The basement was packed? Kristi pulls some VHS tapes out of a box. Katie says she got these things after Grandma Lois died and Kristi can have it. The box is opened and we see labels on the tapes: Girls Room 9-14-88, Girls Room 9-28-88, Katies Birthday, September 1988, Girls Room 9-13-8. They pull the tape of Katies Birthday (don’t get on me, they didn’t have it as Katie’s so I didn’t either LOL).
The movie now cuts to the place in the 2nd movie where they think their house has been broken into and it shows:

We see the shot in the movie where Daniel is investigating the basement after the “break-in”. He discovers that the only thing missing is the box of tapes that Katie brought over.

September 3, 1988
We see a “Happy Birthday, Katie” chocolate cake that I think mom made because dad is recording her with it. Katie blows out the candles as people sing happy birthday. She gives a “WTH” look and we see young Kristi talking to…nobody. Mom brings Kristi over to join the party. She’s shy and sits by Katie. Grandma gives Happy Birthday wishes to the camera for Katie to watch later. OH this isn’t dad…it’s boyfriend. He tells Katie, in the camera, thank you for letting him into the family.
We’re in the kitchen and little Kristi has lost a tooth and the one next to it is wicked loose. Her mom sets her up on the counter. Kristi tells her mom that she would be a good dentist. Her mom tells her that if she loses the tooth at school to put it in her pocket and bring it home for the tooth fairy. Back at the table Dennis (boyfriend) asks Kristi why she has 2 bowls. Kristi says “because he wants to eat”. Katie tells Kristi “Toby isn’t real”. ”Yes, he is”, Kristi says.
10:26am Dennis is the garage and he has a lot of audio and video equipment set up. Randy, his assistant, is late…not new. Dennis is going to play a prank. Dennis goes up on the ladder (it’s 10:55am). He tells Randy that there was a leak in the floor in the room above the garage and he doesn’t know what to do. He comes down the ladder and asks Randy to hold a stick that’s holding up a bowlful of water…Dennis leaves and we now love Dennis Katie and Kristi join Dennis at the door and laugh. Dennis tells them let’s go and play on the trampoline. The 3 come back in. Randy is still holding the stick. They joke that they found a spider and they throw it at Randy…who jumps and the water falls on him.
Standing on the driveway we’re taking pictures of the girls for their first day of school. One of the photos taken is the one of Katie that Daniel burns to transfer the demon from his wife, Kristi. It’s also the burnt photo that Micah finds in the attic. They now take a family shot.
Dennis is watching some drunk girl on a wedding tape and asks Randy where he found her. The two, apparently, do videos of weddings.
We’re seeing wedding photos that I guess Dennis and Randy took. We hear a knock and Dennis calls “Jewels?” (short for Julie). There’s no response and he starts back to work. He hears a noise again and calls out, “Julie?”. He walks inside and we see his video angle walking through the house looking for the cause of the noise. He heads towards the kitchen and dining room and then into the kitchen, the living room which is a mess of toys (not my house LOL). He hears a noise upstairs and go upstairs. This is the girl’s room. Teddy Ruxpin is on the floor talking. Dennis turns him off and leaves him on the table. He takes the camera and looks over the half wall. He hears a noise (sounds like a door) and turns around and we see a door to a crawl space or small closet open. Dennis walks over and looks in. It’s a little area that looks like it’s holding some toys and a little storage. Dennis comes back out of the closet and turns to see Kristi RIGHT behind him and he’s startled. She asks what he’s doing and he says he was just looking around.
