Another idea. We have 16 pictures, right?
Feel free to trout me if the next thought was mentioned already.
Every picture, beside of the "enter picture" may represent the birthday gift, if we suppose, she is 15-16 years old.

We have to rearrange the pictures in right order in order to get the right picture if 13th birthday.

From the other side, forget it: things depicted on the FUPT site have no relations to the secret gift he gave to the daughters 13th birthday.

Look: he seems to live in divorce. Probably his exwife couldn't cope with his paranoia abd bunkermaking. She also worry about mental sanity of her daughter and try prevent every possibility for contact.

I mean, sure, dad is desperated, but this is creepy :

I broke down and bought a four pack of Slusho....I mean Swamp Pop.

I think I'm also going to buy a Cannibal Airlines t-shirt. Because it's cool, and I loved Heat Vision and Jack.

My assumption is that Megan is 22 years old at the time of the movie.


Here's why:
1986 is the release year of 'Pretty In Pink'.
1999 - Y2K scare happens. She'd be 13 at that time, which fits the 'feel' of the character, and both the millennium scare and her 13th birthday are referenced on the second page of FAPT.

Two other things are esoteric, but fit my theory -- in 1999, the guy who designed the Cannibal Airlines VHS tape box released Heat Vision and Jack, and DVDs were still about three years from being widely adopted as the primary format. For a while I thought that might be what Howard got Megan that was secret -- 'Don't tell your mother I bought you that horror movie.' -- It'd be touchy for a thirteen year old to get that AND while it's shown in the trailer, it's NOT referred to on the front page to break the narrative of 'this is all clandestine run by a tech-savvy paranoid'.

So, based on the VHS tape and the movie not being age appropriate for a 13 year old -- I did the math. Today, she'd be 30.

But -- this movie is 'blood related' to Cloverfield.

So, how old would she have been when the attack on Chuai happened in 2008?

She'd be 22. -- Younger than the age of most of the protagonists of the first film.

Theory...but I think it fits.

Who art thou Megan?

[AntaresMHD]

You're right, perhaps we need to wait until Megan shows up, some sort of internet presence will surely puts us on the right track. Good thing we got Tagruato to put us in the context of the film, but we don't even know if Megan is actually a character on the movie (as in, MEW) or someone from Howard Stambler's life that will be referenced. And either way, there's still that link on the page that leads nowhere:

For what it's worth, there's this: http://www.census-info.us/search/STAMBLER,MEGAN
Which of course references real people's data, but it's the only stuff on Google related to "Megan Stambler" that isn't from this forum or reddit.

I'm sure other people have considered this, but 'Megan' could just be a smokescreen and we are supposed to use kloos like "13" "Chicago" and "EiffelTower" to come up with.... something.

{ I don't really believe that, but I've had no luck locating Megan either }
