'Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones' Trailer Leaks Online (Video)

The trailer for "Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones," the upcoming spinoff of the eponymous horror franchise, leaked online this week, and scary-movie fans everywhere are counting down the days until the film hits theaters.

Described by creator Oren Peli as a distant "cousin" to the first four "Paranormal Activity" movies, "The Marked Ones" is similar in nature in its "found-footage" format. The storyline centers on Jesse (played by Andrew Jacobs), a Latino boy who's been "marked" and begins to experience supernatural activity as he slips deeper and deeper into possession.
