What the speakers say it drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre: 1 line the host's read ×1

  1. unmapped (indie legacy): The Texas Chain Saw Massacre ⇒ Paranormal Activity (the host's read). Chainsaw invented the no-money, unknown-actors, one-idea indie horror run that Halloween, Blair Witch and Paranormal Activity followed.
    “This, Halloween, Blur Witch, paranormal activity. We have no money. You don't know these actors.”

Connected to

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre: 2 lines unmapped ×2

  1. unmapped (lesson): The Texas Chain Saw Massacre → Paranormal Activity. Chainsaw shows that with no budget and no actors, good taste and a good eye is enough, as with Blair Witch and Paranormal.
    “if the director and probably the editor just have good taste. If they just have a good eye, anything can work.”

Obsession: 1 line industry ×1

  1. industry (box-office comp): Obsession → Paranormal Activity. The speaker checked Paranormal Activity's numbers against Obsession's and found nothing like a five-million Wednesday.
    “The movie that I was looking at, data wise, this morning, just to see if it matched up at all was paranormal activity”
    The Big Picture · The Top 10 Fantasy Films, The Toy Movie Hall of Fame, and ‘Masters of the Universe,’ with Griffin Newman! · 0:05:51 · unknown (Griffin or Sean) (0.40 sure it was them)
