Tod Williams will helm the sequel to Paramount's wildly successful low-budget thriller Paranormal Activity. Williams is best known for his work on The Door in the Floor, which starred Jeff Bridges, Kim Bassinger and Jon Foster.

The studio has pegged the project for an October 22 release, so that means it will be opening on the same day as Saw VII in 3D. Paranormal Activity was able to keep Saw VI from opening in first place last October, so it will be interesting to see which film wins this round.
