Cautiously optimistic about this... it seems interesting and very spooky so far. It looks like the main focus is going to be getting a theatrical film made, as opposed to the web series side of things, which is kind of a shame, but it still might be fun. And it looks like we're getting a new video tonight, too.

Ugh. The exorcist interview, where is that? I see a new thumbnail of a woman in the footage part, but it doesn't have a link. Is that where it is? Or is it somewhere else?

Exorcist video is right here: http://www.whoismrtom.com/footage/

Second video on the gallery.

Edit: New video up, interview with Helen O'Meara, who's apparently the mother of Elizabeth (the girl with the knife in her mouth).

Apparently Mr. Tom (the name given to the faceless man) is in the exorcism business with someone named Eli Dante.

New video is interesting... the possessed girl screaming "it's him" over and over again when Tom exposed his ... lack of a face... not sure what to think about that, but it's got my curiosity piqued for sure. looks like it's early next week for the next video to go live... eagerly awaiting that.

I'll give them this much, if this was made into a film, I would watch the hell out of it.

So the last few video releases were at midnight EST right? This one is set to go up at 9 EST two days from now. I wonder why it's earlier this time.

not sure if anyone else got it but i was emailed a trailer. it features mainly footage from videos on the website that have been released and overlayed text

BUT

it also has some unseen footage; dark stuff with a flashlight as well as some sort of church exorcism scene with claws/legs coming out of a box (?)

So it's a movie kickstarter? There is no game or anything?

I don't think we have enough information at this point to determine what is going on. Best bet is to just watch the videos as released to discover what is going on. At the very least my interest is peaked and will be following this eagerly.

So the new video's been up for a little bit and the 'objective' page is now linked on the main site.

The new video is... Well, I'm not gonna lie, it's pretty messed up.

Video summary:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
So the narrator is called by Peter Maddellena (from the previous interview video), attempting to draw his attention to a shadow that he saw in the video of Elizabeth. They arrange a meeting, which appears to be at a church. Peter takes the narrator downstairs and makes him promise that he will record what they are about to see and show everybody he can. He shows the narrator a box, that shakes as Peter approaches it. Queue Marble Hornets-esque visual distortion. Distortion buffs out and Peter says that what's in the box is responsible for all of the [blank] in the world (the distortion makes that portion inaudible, but I'll assume that, given the previous subject matter, the missing word is possessions.) Peter then gets a text and explains to the narrator that Tom is on his way. The narrator gets a bit panicked and explains to Peter that Tom is a murderer, but he pays him no mind. Peter goes to the entrance and we see him fall, knocked over and pulled away by something off-camera. Narrator makes a run for it but gets knocked out as well, and a crowbar is seen. Camera cuts out and cuts back in to a man that we have yet to meet, tying the narrator to a chair, with Peter tied to another chair a few feet away. Two people in dark robes holding scythes(?) are standing next to the box. The man asks Peter about Mr. Tom, gets no reply, and starts beating the CRAP out of him, eventually either killing him or knocking him out. He opens the box and HOLY CRAP THERE'S A GROSS SPIDER DEMON THING AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. The Gross Spider Demon Thing starts eating Peter, but we're blocked from the scene by the nameless man asking the narrator where Mr. Tom is. He says that he doesn't know and, well, the nameless man is not too happy about that. He pushes the narrator close to the Gross Spider Demon Thing as it's finishing Peter off and walks away, with the people in robes close behind. The GSDT starts pulling the narrator towards it but HOLY CRAP TOM BURSTS THROUGH THE DOOR AND SAVES HIM AT THE LAST SECOND. Tom somehow makes the GSDT burn away and they make their escape. Outside the church, Tom has a fit that the camera is still on and, well, that's it!


And yeah, it looks like this is mostly a viral campaign for a Kickstarter to get a movie going. I didn't see the objective page before it was linked to the main page, but it has a Kickstarter tab on it. I'd be pretty interested in seeing this as a film, so I know I'm going to pitch in some.

The thing that gets me, though, is the drastic change in the director's films. The film we heard about previously was a rom-com of sorts, so it strikes me as odd that he'd go from that to something like this.

I usually contribute to Kickstarter type of things only if there's something tangible I can get my hands on, but all this teaser footage has me hooked and the production value seems really good. So Mr. Tom, here comes my money!
