![]() One of Jesse’s best friends, Marisol, shows up late with salsa, and Jesse receives cash from his father as a graduation present. The graduation of Jesse is a pretty big deal because once they get home to their apartment the entire courtyard is filled with family and friends to celebrate the big event. Directly after the ceremony Jesse is outside with his family and friends, including Dad, Grandma, and best friend Hector. It begins with Jesse living through the Valedictorian speech at his high school graduation. Was that a possessed Alex (the main character from PA4) who finally shuts off Hector's camera at the end of The Marked Ones? Kind of looked like her.The film takes place in June 2012, in Oxanard, California.It looked like Lois who came to collect items from Anna's apartment when Jesse and Co.They probably showed up for his possession ceremony. Due to time-travel, it is young Kristi and Katie from PA3 that Jesse encounters in Anna's basement.Kristi's step-daughter Ali from PA2 shows up in Marked Ones as an older and more experienced demon hunter, still investigating Hunter's abduction.Anna had the box of tapes stolen from Kristi's house at the start of PA2, meaning she and her fellow witches staged the raid.The house that Hector, Marisol, and the gangsters raid at the end of Marked Ones is the witch stronghold from the end of PA3 that belongs to Kristi and Katie's grandma (and seeming grand witch), Lois.That bedroom at the end of PA4, with the windows covered in Spanish newspapers, was likely Anna's room.It means "mine" in Latin and is seemingly the demon's claim of ownership over his "marked" male heirs. The word "MEUS" is written on Jesse's wall like it was on the Rey family's wall in PA2.Jesse has the exact same bite mark pattern that Katie did in PA1.We caught a few of the more obvious ones - add any you spotted in The Marked Ones to our comment thread below: At the end, demon Jesse springs on Hector from the time-doorway and helps demon Katie with the slaughter. In Marked Ones we see this play out in the finale where Hector, fleeing from those same witches and a demonic Jesse, runs through Lois' house (the place we saw at the end of PA3), flings open a door, only to find himself in Katie and Micah's house form PA1, at the unfortunate moment of Katie's final possession/murder of Micah, which occurred offscreen in the original film, but is shown in gory detail in The Marked Ones. This basically means that the coven of witches we first met in PA3 (and again in PA4) have the ability to literally step through time to key points of demonic activity - i.e., to any one of the Paranormal Activity movies. ![]() Most notably: we learn they have magical doors that allow them to travel through space/time to "unholy places." ![]() Besides learning that the whole Kristi/Katie/Hunter saga is but a small drip in a larger pond, the spinoff chapter also teaches us more about the coven of witches that characters like Lois (Katie and Kristi's grandma) and Anna belong to. ![]() Little clues in PA4 (like Spanish newspapers on the windows of Katie's house) lead to the story of The Marked Ones. The demon tried to do this directly by attacking Kristi and her family (in PA2), but the Rey family threw a monkey-wrench into the plan by transferring the demonic force to Katie. In the case of Katie and Kristi: their family took an awfully long time to produce a male heir (Hunter in PA2), but their grandmother Lois (who is part of the witch coven) "marked" them as "demon brides" when they were children (seen in PA3), making it inevitable that the demon would one day come to collect the offspring he had been promised (Hunter). Such deals have been made all over the world, with multiple young men having up and vanished after grisly murders, presumably having been converted into demonic form for some yet unknown purpose. It goes like this: The witches perform spells on pregnant women (who come to them as bargains and/or unwitting victims - the specifics are unclear) the women give birth and upon reaching maturity, their first male children are "marked" for possession, and are eventually possessed in full. ![]()
