Okay, guys. I want you to put yourself back in the late ‘90s. Are you there yet? Good. Remember: This is a time in which viral marketing is a brand-new thing, and it’s taking the world on by storm. It’s also a time before the found-footage genre existed as we know it in 2011. Sure, there had been a few prior examples– namely Cannibal Holocaust– but it is by no means as prevalent a genre as it would eventually become. It’s also not as cliché, so it’s new and exciting.

Nowhere is this more powerful than in movies.

In honor of it, let’s play a little game this week: I’ll tell you a few tales; you guess what they are. They’re all stories you’ll know, if you dig deep enough in that place in your brain that locks away the things that frighten you. Ready? Here we go… More
