The Last Exorcism Brings Scares On Chatroulette Dan Koelsch, August 19, 2010May 12, 2011 The Eli Roth-produced The Last Exorcism has had a small viral presence this summer leading up to its August 27th national release. Now, however, Lionsgate looks to be pushing the viral even more, this time on Chatroulette, the website that allows you to meet and talk to strangers. If you are unfortunate enough to come upon a pretty girl sitting in the dark, click away fast or you’ll get a fright like the people in the compilation video below. You can see more individual reactions on The Last Exorcism YouTube channel. I really like the idea, as it gets people involved in a very unusual way, and tries to bring some meaning and purpose to a social networking site that is known for just having guys showing their junk. Just the video is scary to me, so I can’t imagine actually seeing it first hand without any notice.
