About ParaNorman

In the seemingly ordinary town of Blithe Hollow, young Norman Babcock possesses an extraordinary gift: he can communicate with the dead. Shunned by most, except for his quirky friend Neil, Norman's life takes an unexpected turn when his estranged Uncle Prenderghast reveals a centuries-old secret. A witch's curse threatens to engulf the town in eternal darkness, and Norman is the only one who can stop it. He must embark on a perilous journey, confronting not only vengeful spirits but also the deep-seated fears and prejudices of his own community, all while trying to control his power.

How to stream with ExpressVPN

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is an app that encrypts your internet connection and masks your IP address, allowing you to stream securely and bypass restrictions.

Why Use a VPN for Streaming?

- Bypass Geo-Restrictions: Many streaming services are geographically restricted. If you’re traveling outside the U.S., a VPN can make it appear as if you’re still in the country, giving you access to your subscriptions.
- Avoid ISP Throttling: Your internet provider might slow down your connection during high-bandwidth activities like streaming. A VPN encrypts your activity, preventing your ISP from throttling your speeds and ensuring a smooth, buffer-free experience.
- Increase Privacy: A VPN protects your data on non-secure public Wi-Fi networks by creating an encrypted tunnel, safeguarding your personal information while you stream.

How to get started with ExpressVPN:

- Sign Up: Purchase an ExpressVPN subscription.
- Download: Install the ExpressVPN app on your device.
- Connect: Open the app and connect to a server in the U.S.
