“Paranormal Activity” slays off vampires, wild things and even Jigsaw to top the charts for the weekend box office. Now entering its fifth week in theaters, “Paranormal” aims to scare up a sweet repeat this upcoming Halloween weekend.

Believe the numbers. Believe the hype. “Paranormal Activity’s” smashing success in its early stages forces Paramount to expand distribution, giving “Saw VI” a run for its money. The result is a paranormal milestone for the horror genre.
