Humans have had a long-time fascination with ghosts and other paranormal activity. Often, this fascination is due to our species’ curiosity with life and the afterlife. We strive to learn as much as we can about our world and understand as much as we can about our surroundings. However, no matter how hard we try, the theories behind ghosts still are unproven. At times we fear the unknown. The thought of something being out there, that is like us, maybe even once was us, chills us to the bone.

The film industry has been able to profit on this obsession with ghosts and entities by creating films that peak our curiosity while at the same time making us shiver in fear. One of the original ghost stories of our culture is A Christmas Carol’ (1908). Originally a silent film, the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future captivated audiences. The film has been remade numerous times and watched by many generations.

Lately, ghost movies have turned away from traditional story lines to ones that push the envelope and feel more in touch with reality. In 2007 Paranormal Activity’ was released into theaters. The movie followed a couple as they moved into a home together. The couple is harassed by an unseen presence, especially at night, which appears to be demonic. The film leads you to believe it is a true story, which is what attracted the majority of its viewers. The $11,000 budget film grossed $107,917,283 at the box office.

Other notable ghost films include Poltergeist’ (1982), Ghost Busters’ (1984), The Blair Witch Project’ (1999), The Shining’ (1980) and The Amityville Horror’ (1979).
