“PARANORMAL 2” TRAILER PULLED FROM TEXAS THEATERS

Paramount said on Wednesday that some Texas theaters had pulled the trailer for the upcoming Paranormal Activity 2 after receiving numerous complaints from patrons that the movie was too scary. The trailer began running in theaters in front of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse on Wednesday. The PA2 trailer was also posted on YouTube and is not likely to quicken anyone’s pulse — any adult’s, that is. But as Josh Tyler, who runs the Cinema Blend website observed, a lot of the Twilight audience is composed of young children and at the screening he attended several of them screamed and cried during the screening of the Paranormal trailer. “Never has any trailer been more wholly inappropriate for an audience,” he wrote. “The trailer should be pulled nationwide and fast.”
