* The Final twenty minutes or so... holy crap. [[spoiler: The mom is all alone in the house and hears strange noises then, in a callback the demon starts BREATHING on her and then she's dragged into the air and thrown around the room. Then katie appears and hides her body]] Later, [[spoiler:Ben arrives at the house and hears strange noises and investigates upstairs. He sits in Alex's room and begins using her computer... when Katie appears RIGHT BEHING HIM. He starts to turn around and she brutally breaks his neck and stashes him in Alex's closet. When alex returns, she calls his phone and the ringtone from his comes out of her closet. She begins to investigate when an invisible force throws her across the room and drags out into the hall. She goes to find her dad, who followed Katie, who took wyatt, into her house. inside the house her father is attacked by the unseen force and dragged down a hall. As Alex follows him Katie steps out into the hall and Alex begins to beg for her life. Suddenly, Katie begins charging at Alex and her face contorts demonically and Alex escapes through a window. She spots Wyatt and begs him to leave with her but she turns around and dozens, maybe hundreds of blank faced people walk towards her. She turns around and possesed!katie attacks her... and that's the end.

* That last second at the end before the jump scare, when she's looking into the camera and [[SlasherSmile smiling horribly]]. It can feel as if she is staring right at you, the viewer.

* The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4yp2t7Doac trailer]] alone already gives one of the most horryfying moments of the entire franchise. Alex is talking to who is supposedly her boyfriend and filming with her camera, and she then spots CreepyChild Hunter standing outside her house...and then he disappears...lights go off and then...Possessed!Katie's silhouette appears behind Alex, the door closes behind her and then...nothing.

* The first movie opens with a card explaining that the producers edited from found footage. One might wonder why they did, until one looks at the box office revenues. The second move is edited from Kristi's home security camera footage, and while no one takes credit for it, Ali survived and might have approved it. The third movie is edited together from the old VHS tapes Katie got from grandma. But who did it? The tapes disappeared from Kristi's basement during the events of Paranormal Activity 2, implying that the demon or [[Possessed!Katie]] has them. So who edited PA 3? And why are they showing it to us?

** The final shot of [[spoiler:the possessed Katie sniffing at her boyfriend's corpse before smiling at the camera then twisting her face and letting forth an inhuman shriek as she launches herself at it]] still haunts this troper's thoughts.
** Katie's [[HellIsThatNoise screams]] in that scene. *shudder*
* The truly horrible moment is three quarters of the way through when, after it being well established that all hauntings happen at night, a photo cracks. At noon. This is closely followed by Katie's realization [[spoiler: when the demon's footprints appear in the powder. Why on earth would they appear anyway? Because the demon wants them to.]] I'm sorry, were you planning on having peaceful dreams tonight?

** Another had [[spoiler:Kate staring at Micah, going downstairs, screaming, then killing Micah but instead of slitting her throat when she comes upstairs, she just sits there rocking her body for days, the fast forwarding of her rocking only interrupted to get the viewer er a chance to hear a phone call (answered by the machine) from her friend. She just keeps rocking. It ends with the police coming to investigate. Kate finally comes to for a bit and starts walking towards them, still with the knife in her hand, and they shoot her]].

* [[spoiler: Micah is hurled into the camera by the demon]]. It wasn't really the act itself as much as it was the [[spoiler: [[{{PrecisionFStrike}} fucking]] ''roar'' the demon made while doing so]].

* If you thought Katie being dragged down the hall was scary...hoo boy... [[spoiler:Kristi gets not only dragged out of Hunter's room in a similiar manner and latches onto the railing for dear life.... but runs back into Hunter's room only to be dragged away AGAIN, this time down the stairs, through the hall and into the basement after which the door SLAMS shut after her.... just damn.... Later we're even graced with a look at the back of the door showing that she appears to have tried to claw her way out of the basement..]]

* Kristi decides that she doesn't want to play with her imaginary friend any more. He is not happy about this. The following night-time scene, we see objects in Katie and Kristi's room coming to life. The demon throws Katie's blanket at the camera, moving the bed around, and forcibly dragging her out of bed into a cubby hole. The demon stops once Kristi decides to play his game again.

* On a couple of occasions, when Katie [[spoiler:is possessed]], she gets out of bed, and stands in one spot. Staring (in one case, at Micah). For ''hours''. It's a lot creepier than it sounds.

* Towards the end of the film, when Micah is all set to leave for a hotel, Katie suddenly claims that she'd rather stay home. [[spoiler: Paying close attention, you can tell she's not speaking normally. In fact, she's speaking in much the same way she did on the swing earlier in the film, like someone else is trying to do a convincing impression of a human. If it wasn't obvious already, [[VoiceOfTheLegion the slight double-voice you can hear]] as she says, "I think we'll be okay now," followed by a small smile, should make it very clear that she's possessed.]] It's subtle, yet still noticeable to the attentive viewer, and so it's absolutely ''horrifying'' and makes you realize that [[spoiler: whatever hope you may have been holding onto for the characters is best abandoned]].

* The scene where Katie and Micah hear the demon thudding up the stairs really, ''really'' fast, before [[NothingIsScarier suddenly falling silent]].

* Following the earthquake scene is the shot of the dust from the ceiling covering the ghost. -shudder-

* Scariest bit in ''Paranormal Activity''? The bit with the flour on the floor and demon tracks. Funny thing, really, considering most demons are depicted with their feet backwards. As in, ''its in the room with them''.

* The scene where Ali's asleep on the couch, and the TV suddenly goes to static while a shadow moves over her, as if the demon's going to consume her, before she wakes up, the shadow disappears and the TV goes back to normal. Doesn't seem like much compared to some later bits, but if you tend to fall asleep on your own couch with the TV on, it can mess you up good.

* The scene where Ali's asleep on the couch, and the TV suddenly goes to static while a shadow moves over her, as if the demon's going to consume her, before she wakes up, the shadow disappears and the TV goes back to normal. Doesn't seem like much compared to some later bits, but it's helped keep this troper up for the last two nights (especially since he has a tendency to fall asleep on his own couch).

Doesn't seem like much at first, but it's helped keep this troper up for the last two nights (especially since he has a tendency to fall asleep on his own couch).

* For me it was that last second at the end before the jump scare, when she's looking into the camera and smiling horribly. I've never quite been able to shake the feeling that she could ''see me''.
