Check this out: Viral campaign or real? Nick Butler, July 1, 2009July 1, 2009 A new video on YouTube has millions asking if it’s a viral campaign for a movie or just real, and scary.

We’ll keep you posted.Posted by Nick Butler, follow him on Twitter. New to the site? Check out the About Us page. Register at the MovieViral.com forum, which is located at www.MovieViral.com/forum.
