Maybe I’m slow on the draw, but I was just told that PARANORMAL ACTIVITY will be getting a nationwide release because of its William Castle-esque DEMAND IT NOW promotion. I don’t know about you, but this is VERY exciting. The fact that PARANORMAL ACTIVITY is actually getting a major release is cool and all, but the possibility that studios will start listening to fans is even more exciting.
What can horror movie fans demand next? If we start a petition or poll or counter thingy like the DEMAND IT NOW promotional campaign did, can we stop shitty remakes from happening? Can we get TROLL 2 and BASKET CASE onto bluray? Who knows what the unified power of movie fans can do from here on out. What do you want to see next? What is your dream thing that you’ve always wanted to see come true?

It didn’t work. This was all part of Paramounts promotional scheme. They used it as a scapegoat that WE voted for it. They would have released this after the midnight screenings sold out no matter what. All a marketing ploy. I read a review that when they gave out free passes to se ethe show, the people that couldnt get to go in all signed up to demand it. I was there and no one signed. We were all pissed that they fucked us over. The whole line bounced after an hour. Movie was great tho btw but was just saying.
