Marlon Wayans: ?A Haunted House? is ?Paranormal Activity? if it Happened to Black People

Horror spoof A Haunted House hits theaters next Friday, and Paranormal Activity fans will find a lot to laugh at. However, the couple in A Haunted House is no Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat.

A Haunted House is Paranormal Activity if it happened to a black couple,” leading man Marlon Wayans told StarCam last August (below). “Black people deal with ghosts differently than white people do.”


So how do black people handle the supernatural? Judging from the trailer below, they’re more flippant and aggressive than the white characters A Haunted House spoofs. What you won’t see is a lot of hand-wringing and crying in front of the camera.

“I wish they would run more in these movies,” Wayans said of the standard horror flicks. “Then we don’t have to sit there and endure 90 minutes of them going ‘Oh my God, what is that noise.’”

Starring Marlon Wayans, Essence Atkins, Cedric the Entertainer, Nick Swardson, David Koechner, and Dave Sheridan, A Haunted House opens in theaters on Friday, January 11.
