Just moments ago there was a knock at my door; by the time I opened it the deliveryman was gone but a plain brown box sat on my stoop. The return address was a PO Box in New Mexico. Opening it up I discovered an evidence bag, with a blood stained funnel inside:
The New Mexico address, the 1983 date on the evidence bad and the bloody funnel… this is almost certainly a bit of viral marketing for Let Me In, the remake of Let the Right One In, which is going to have a presence at Comic Con next week. I know the movie is pretty much finished – a number of friends have seen it and really liked it, all of them saying it justifies its own existence and does its own thing – so maybe there could even be a screening? I’m dying to check it out.
As for the marketing aspect – I wonder if any of the numbers on the evidence bag mean anything. I’m not the kind of person who looks into that stuff… but maybe you are.

not sure why this movie is being made, the original is an instant classic and translates well. This is a 'check it out when it hits cable' movie for me.
cool stuff. and that WIRE boxset in the background, even cooler stuff
It's some kind of biological attack against you from one of your nemeses. You sure it didn't come from Austin? I hope you handled that thing with rubber gloves.
Ugh, does this movie even need viral marketing? Sure, it worked for Cloverfield when no one knew anything about the movie. Anyone worth their weight has already seen the original Let the Right One In, so all of this is wholly unnecessary.
Angel complete series box set FTW! Angel could get 'puppetized' once again to travel outside LA and fight this new mini terror. On a more serious note, keep watching how the critics (and their friends!) will start trying to rationalize this unneeded remake. OMG, I canst red duh bahtum screen wordz, we needz to Americanize dis (lolcats CGI edition)
