@cearanissa: The phone number on the post-it

If the phone number on the post-it is important, the area code to use might be 937, which is the current area code for all Dayton-area numbers. However, that's not consistent with the time period of the movie. Years ago Dayton's area code changed to 937 from 513, so if they did their homework and this number is important, the area code to use is 513. With that said, I probably won't call this number as I'm not exactly sure how IG it is, but feel free to try and please report back if you do!

I'm not in america so i can't call. But can someone please try that number... I dont think they would put it there if it was not important

Everyone is right in saying that it might be the cube thingy in the train. If it can rip through a house, it can rip through a lot of things.
Maybe its what happens to the person after they have come in contact with the "cube" (aka alternative energy source?") that makes them disappear. But affects Dogs quciker

Yellow Truck

I know someone suggested earlier that mr. minker is the bloodied up man in the trailer...here's a frame grab...it looks like to me that he's in a yellow vehicle...if he is then it would follow that:

he was a scientist that will be featured in the editing room
found something out about the thing, and didn't want it in the wrong hands
derailed the train
kids find him in the wreckage, he says "go" (frame grab from trailer)
goes to hospital?
writes note?

connection to this game?

I'm thinking the entity/alien/creature/blob/blueenergyblastingwatertowerseekingdogkillerthing escapes the train and floats/crawls/bounces away from the wreckage, the kids race down towards the truck and find old Mr. Minker in there, and...

"Do not speak of this... if you do, they will find you."

Kids look in, confused.

"GO!"

Kids go.

Or, you know, something like that.

That is an interesting speculation. Could the water tower possibly contain minerals of this "alternate energy source?"


Or the hiding place of the mystery-thing itself?

Truck/ Minker

But if you look closely, there couldn`t be much left of the yellow truck after the crash.

My Guess is, Josh's dad went in the truck, drove up to the kids already bleeding, told them to "do not speak of this, if you do... they will find you.. now GO" and the crashed into the train. Jumping out the car before getting into too much harm

BTW

Or is it just me

I've been out of game for a while (since the Super Bowl trailer) so forgive me if I'm wrong (or if this has already been brought up). Weren't there six children, and in the poster I only see five??

I wonder why there are at least 3 people in these trailers/cutscenes so far that all seem to be bleeding from the top of their heads down their faces?
We had the still pic from the SB trailer that showed a man in a car with his head bleeding, then we saw the guy running from the stop sign with blood running down his head who now tells the kid he saw it.., then we have the new black fellow in his car bleeding down his head as well..

Wonder whats up with this?

I tried the number with both area codes that were suggested and they might ring once or twice, but then say "all circuits are busy now" and give some sort of error code. Not sure why it would do that but whatever, just thought I would let everyone know.

Around 0:45 into the trailer, right after the main character yelled "Watch out" as the truck and train are colliding, who's that pale kid to the right of him holding a suitcase? I don't remember seeing him in the rest of the trailer.

Also, (one of those) cubes is making the objects float in the clip right before that Jeep explodes right before the Super 8 film runs out. I (think) can see it above the traffic light in the very-far background.

That was a pretty revealing trailer finally. Although, at the same time it throwes up questions.
I'll text first and pics come later Smile.

1. That poster in the background. It does look like a waveform of a stereo sinesaw-wave with one channel inverted. Actually that doesn't make much sense because if you played it with an audio-system the outcome would be (more or less) silence because of self-extinction of the two channels (for further info google for "noise reduction through inversion" or something like that. It's basic physics. I just don't know the term in english)

2. Why only dogs? The sherif says it and on the board it also looks like there would only have been dogs gone missing. Why no other animals? Dogs do have very good audible sense, but so do bats and cats as well. And foxes... Well, stil seems to be connected to sound.

3. The supposed-to-be badass's name is Nelec. Couldn't really find anything about that, except for the term "nelectric" which I couldn't garner enough info about it to understand what it means.

4. This is a funny one, probably just a joke by the props-guys: "One Way" and "Dead End" at the same time/direction? The other info on that pic is the medic, so the milit. was expecting casualties or it is standard procedure. That was a first thought yesterday when I watched the trailer frame-by-frame. Doesn't seem important after some thought, though.
