Holy shiz! It's been a long time since preview has given us this kind of chills!

Check out the just-released trailer for the upcoming Paranormal Activity 3, which continues to shed some light on the origins of the malevolent entity that scared us silly the past two Halloweens (above)!

Does the new Superman sparkle in the sun? Does he have an unquenchable thirst for blood? Does he like to play intense games of baseball with his family while Muse blares in the background?

Okay, so maybe he's not a vampire, but the newly redrawn version of Superman def resembles a Robert Pattinson-like individual.

Emo Superman will be featured in Superman: Earth One, a new graphic novel written by J. Michael Straczynski, with emo artwork by Shane Davis.

The graphic novel will re-tell the Superman origin story, but with a Twilight/hipster-esque vibe to it.
