QDear 100 Hour Board,

Here's a Halloween kind of question for you.   Forgive me if I've already asked this, because I know I have a memory of it, it's just that it was in my dream that I asked this question and in reality I am seeing when I log in that I didn't really ask it yet. (I have been reading through your new posts wondering when you would get to it, only to realize today that it was a dream.)

Anyhoo, the question is this: a few years ago, there was a scary movie that came out (it wasn't obscure, it was a blockbuster like "The Ring.")   The advertising campaign to promote the film consisted in part of footage from an actual movie theater of people watching the movie, and getting really freaked out.   This was supposed to make people want to see it, to see audiences freaking about about what they were watching.   I think it was the Ring, but I can't find any of these commercials anywhere.   Was it the Ring, or was it another movie? And were they test audiences, or was it the audiences in Japan from the japanese version?

-Didn't think Ringu was scary when he was watching it but has been seeing little girls come out of television sets every time he turns off the lights

The only trailers I could find like what you describe were for Paranormal Activity.   The only problem is that that movie just came out, so it couldn't have been a few years ago.   I bet this isn't a new idea, though, and maybe one of our readers will have a better idea of the movie you mean.

- The Black Sheep
