 		[CF] Missyfied / The Tatooist
Missy's missing after a strange infection in her tattoo
1) [from Missyfied] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeYtKHQWHSs
2) [from Missyfied] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZgA-dUXv7k
3) [from mother Chrissyfied] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czOfnyCgymQ (Warning: this one gets bloody)

From what I can tell, as the infection spreads Missy (or whatever is inside her) causes more and more interference to the video equipment. This finally culminates in the image of the demon/ghoul/spirit on the last of the videos. The proper term for this is thoughtography: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoughtography.

Edit: From an article on Samoan tattooing.
Quote:
Spiritual protection is provided by the guests who attend the tattooing ceremony. It's believed that while receiving a tattoo the recipient is particularly vulnerable to the influence of malevolent spirits. He or she must not, therefore, be left alone.

 		I'm entirely new to participating in this sort of thing (usually I just observe after the fact :/) but this seems interesting. I messaged Chrissy for more info - city they live in, etc. Hopefully something will come of it.

Here's a movie about Samoans, tattooing, and ghosts, but no mention of butterflies or young girls: http://www.noblepr.co.uk/Press_Releases/icon/tattooist.htm

 		Right, ergot in the ink or something. But that would make only the infected person hallucinate, and since the vid gets all screwy and we can see the demon/ghost thing too, I don't think that's likely.

There was an episode about thoughtography as well. Ooo, I do so hope this takes off into something; I love a good creep out fest.

I think you might have hit this right on the money. The dvd came out today. And the premise is far too similar to be a coincidence. You can even see a few snippits of the demon in the trailer. http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi1241186585/

 		I hope that's not what it's for. That would be really disappointing.

Why's that? The production value seems good and the story is fairly interesting. If it turns into an actual game, it could be done very well.

Oh, I mean, as long as it is a game and not just obtuse advertising. Which I understand half the games are, but.. you know what I mean?

 		Wide screen
If you notice, the you tube videos are played in wide screen format (which is not the norm for you tube videos) just like the movie preview on that link that was posted earlier.

The infection did not look like ink spreading, like the movie preview, it looked like a blood clot.

EDIT: I just went on her you tube main page and found this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_CotkFzj2c
it is the trailer to the tattooist movie.

Is this what it was all about? Now that we know it's about the movie does that mean it's over? Why would they tell us it's about the movie so early on?
