Melting Pot's stage adaptation of the Paranormal Activity horror films has found its West End cast.

The already extended limited run, which will begin performances December 5 at the Ambassadors Theatre, will continue through March 28, 2026. Felix Barrett directs.

Inspired by the horror film franchise, the new play is directed by Punchdrunk Founder and Artistic Director Barrett, and written by playwright Levi Holloway, whose theatrical thriller Grey House played Broadway in 2023. The original Paranormal Activity film, released in 2009, reimagined the found footage genre for a new generation, grossing nearly $200 million worldwide and kicking off a blockbuster franchise spanning six sequels. The play, aimed at audiences 15 and above, again reimagines the modern ghost story by reinterpreting the original domestic horror with theatrical illusion.

For the production, Melissa James will reprise her role as Lou, alongside fellow performers Pippa Winslow as Carolanne, and Jackie Morrison as Etheline Cotgrave. The West End company will also welcome Ronan Raftery as James. Understudies for the production will include Cheyenne Dasri and Jake Solari.

The production will have set and costume design by Fly Davis, illusions by Chris Fisher, lighting design by Anna Watson, sound design by Gareth Fry, and video design by Luke Halls. Casting is by Stuart Burt and Ginny Schiller.

Paranormal Activity is produced by Simon Friend and Hanna Osmolska for Melting Pot in association with Gavin Kalin, Ken Davenport, Jenny King, Patrick Gracey, Jonathan and Rae Corr, and Leeds Playhouse.
