Creepy Things That Seem Real But Aren’t: Tales of the Silver Screen

Creepy Things That Seem Real But Aren’t is a series that explores modern urban legends, bringing you a new tale each week.

The ‘Super 8′ Trailer Will Eat You Alive

The first full trailer for the hotly anticipated J. J. Abrams project Super 8 has been released, and I’ve got to say, it’s looking pretty exciting! Ever since Lost, Abrams has become increasingly preoccupied with the strange and unusual, with the resulting projects (especially Cloverfield and Fringe) pushing the envelope a little more each time. It’s unclear whether Super 8 is a monster flick or an alien flick–perhaps it’s a little of both– but whatever it is, it’s shaping up to look fascinating indeed. Take a look here: More »
