#Where was paranormal activity the marked ones filmed series
The series seems to have an allergy towards everywhere but the Southwestern US. The only exception, 4, is set in Henderson, Nevada, which is still located in the Southwest, anyhow. Most of 3 is set in Santa Rosa, except for the prologue (set in Carlsbad) and the third act (in Moorpark), The Marked Ones is set in Oxnard and Moorpark, while The Ghost Dimension doesn't specify its location until halfway through, in which it is revealed that the house is built on the site of Katie's childhood home, and thus Santa Rosa all over again. 1 takes place entirely in San Diego, while 2 is similarly set entirely in Carlsbad. Creator Provincialism: Except for 4, the series never once ventured outside of California (or the West Coast for that matter), the home state of the series' main producer, Jason Blum.Both are due to the demon's influence (Katie is being fed gruesome nightmares by it Ali wakes up after it looms over her). Ali does this in the second film as well. Catapult Nightmare: Katie, in the first film, does this one time when waking up.Camera Abuse: A trademark of the films.Berserk Button: The demon does not like to be touched.Behind the Black: Many scares, especially in 2, 3 and 4 (which each use multiple or moving cameras) are set up just outside the frame, or are obscured by the characters in front of it, so that the audience is freaked out by their sudden appearance when the camera focuses on them, even though the characters should be able to see them from their own perspective.They didn't get to see it, but it did give them a really good scare.


In the fourth film, it's Alex and her friend Ben. In the third film, it's actually Dennis and his friend Randy.

Agent Mulder: Katie in the first film and Ali in the second.
