From the Press Release
In an unprecedented move, Paramount Pictures will debut PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 3 exclusively in cities where the most fans “Tweet To See It First”. This first ever of its kind campaign is open to fans worldwide. PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 3 will premiere on October 18th in the top 20 cities with the most tweets, three days before the film’s global release.
“The support of this franchise from the online community is phenomenal. We again look to reward them for that support by offering them the chance to see it first, this time expanding our reach globally,” said Rob Moore, Vice Chairman of Paramount Pictures.
To vote, fans can go to ParanormalMovie.com and select their city from a global map, which will also serve as the point of entry to create a tweet with a special set of hash tags that link directly to Twitter. Once a tweet posts, it counts as a vote. A leader board will show the top 20 global markets in real-time.
The “Tweet To See It First” competition is available to audiences worldwide and ends at 11:59 p.m. PDT on Thursday, October 13th. The top 20 cities will be announced on Friday, October 14th.

Maniac Cop III: Badge of Silence (1993)

Plot: A female cop is gunned down and wrongly accused of using excessive force in a hostage rescue attempt. Maniac cop returns from the dead once more to seek revenge, destroying everthing and anyone that stands in his way.
Review: Robert Z’Dar returns once again as the Maniac Cop in the third instalment of this series (or trilogy if you like). Robert Davi and our new Freddy, Jackie Earle Haley both star in this humorous, action packed flick.
The main premise of the film takes place from where the second finished but this time Matt Cordell is after a female cop (well I say after but it’s really protecting) who has been wrongly framed for shooting a civilian. Matt wants Kate for his wife since Houngan, a man that used magic to bring him to life again can return her soul into her body making her live again then she can be Matt’s bride.
There are some scenes you might recognise from previous films (some walking scenes and a staircase scene as well) but that doesn’t distract from the fun you’ll have while watching it. Robert Z’Dar really does makes his mark again and speaks only once like in the previous film.
It’s quite a fast-paced entry, especially the chase sequence at the end that is bloody well done but not as cheesy as the chase in Lep 2. There’ll probably be a lot of questions that haven’t been answered at the end of this film, mostly to do with the Voodoo Priest – but I’ll let anything slide until you see the trilogy for yourself.

Halloween III (Season of the Witch) (1982)

Plot: A large Halloween mask-making company has plans to kill millions of American children with something sinister hidden in Halloween masks.
Review: Don’t read the plot! Damn it gives everything away, for how much money can this be changed for.
How the hell did people get hired to make a gem like this and not even realise it is beyond me. Fuck I know it doesn’t have Michael Myers in it but you can feel his presence and the uneasy feeling when Santa Mira (the city) hits and the strange suits start coming after the main characters (Tom Atkins and Stacey Nelkin). Basically the Santa Mira factory and the Town’s owner ‘Conal Cochran’ have put devices into the children’s Halloween masks and shpped them all around the country – and it’s up to a reporter/doctor (well spotted Shark) and fellow tag-alonger to find out what’s going on. The tagger-on is actually the daughter of a man who died at the start clutching one of the masks yelling “They’re gonna kill us. All of us”.
Damn I wish they made films like this now, pity they don’t, but fuck what a ride.
The ‘Silver Shamrock’ song will haunt you for days after, and that advert will prompt a forced YouTube search that ends in you literally wanting to smash the damn monitor in pieces as it’s not even Halloween but that doesn’t matter just play this fucking clip again and and and again…oh god.
See if it’s a thinking man’s film, if you’re not confused at the start…you will be when the black suit men come down. I would have liked more backstory to be honest, maybe a flashback of how he brainwashed his henchmen? It’s a tall-order but really the film is DAMN worthy sequel material.
As I said DONT watch the trailer before you put this on, or even go looking for info on it – sit back alone, or with your girl/boy/friend and try to figure out for yourselves what’s going on.
If you’re saying ‘Fuck Michael Myers’ at the end of this then you really didn’t get the point of this review…or the movie.
Trivia
The voice of the operator that Challis keeps getting when he tries to call out of Santa Mira is actually Jamie Lee Curtis.
