 		[Trailhead?] OUTCAST cinemax
Box in the mail from cinemax
Hi all. Last week cinemax asked me for my info. Today I came home to a large heavy package that contained a letter from 1989 about an AV library check out, and a handwritten letter on the back. The bottom of the box held a Destressed VHS tape, and a extremely destressed VCR with AV plugs installed, and hooked into a USB powered HDMI converter. I called the phone number on the bottom of the letter, it leads to a message from said AV library.
(304)409-4911
I haven't watched the tape yet, but I will and upload it too. Pics and video to follow.

"August 4, 1989
Hello and thank you for participating in the Rome, WV public library AV sign out program. The Rome public library is proud to make the state of the art video cassette recorders(VCR) available to all of its members and their families.
You've signed out unit #06824. Please treat it with care while it's on your POSSESSION.
Thank you, and remember... Be kind. Rewind.
Sincerely..."

EDIT : creepy little video also directs to outcastcinemax.com and possession is only the beginning. Then leads into the first episode

 		Bummer
Is there an ARG here or just a way to drive people to the website for the show that begins in early June? Kinda disappointing...

Meta!!!
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
That experience is done by the amazing group at Campfire - the founders of which made The Blair Witch Project (which could very well be called the original immersive fiction advertising campaigns!!!!


I admit I haven't had a chance to check it out yet, but I hear it is a beautiful bit of horror experience.

 		They contacted me through IG because I post comic stuff.

Got home today to find a new VHS tape at my front door! Will post update soon.
