Okay so my co-workers were talking about this Paranormal Activity movie. A movie that I haven't heard of (yes, I must have been under a rock). I was very intrigued by the premise---loving scary movies and ghosts and such. Plus, I read the story how the director Oren Peli only spent like $15K but so far the movie has grossed about $60 MILLION so far at the box office---quite a nice return.
