“Silent House” Website Leads to Viral Website Dan Koelsch, February 23, 2012 Open Road Films’ Silent House, opening on March 9th, is a real time horror film starring Elizabeth Olsen, who gets trapped inside a lakehouse retreat. Earlier this week, the film’s Twitter account tweeted out a link to creepy website that secretly led to a new website. Get the details after the break. The website, WhyIsThisHappeningToMe.net, has a wooden floor with polaroids strewn around it (not to mention the dark spilt liquid that is mostly likely blood). The pictures themselves are a bit creepy, but the audio is what really creates the atmosphere. Each polaroid has a word on it, and when put together, they create a new URL, We-All-Have-Secrets.com.Once you all the new website to connect to your Facebook, you are treated to a video that combines clips from the film with your Facebook information, such as contacts and photos. I think the idea is make it seem like you are behind the evil events of the film. Either way, it is thoroughly spooky and makes me excited for Silent House when it opens March 9th. At the end you can even anonymously type in your own secret.What did you think of the “We All Have Secrets” experience? Let us know in the comments below.

District Nueve – Part II July 18, 2009July 31, 2009If you remember, I wrote an article stating how I feel as if District 9 is about the issues between Mexico and the United States.
