Crazy Viral Marketing Campaign or Real-life Terror?
B-D reader ‘Chet’ just sent us in a really, really bizarre e-mail that figured I should probably throw by you. This reminds me of the whole Dr. Sadowsky ordeal, only it’s pretty violent and gruesome. Basically Chet was following one of his favorite online vlogs – some hot chick on Break.com – and some crazy stuff happened over the past week. Read on for his e-mail and let me know if you guys have any idea what the hell this is (watch the video labeled ‘Caroline’, holy smokes).
“Have you seen this?
Go to http://www.holytaco.com/2008/06/05/link-time-45/ and at the bottom of the list of links, you will see the statement “Sad news, just got word that Brooke Marks, the taco belle this week passed away yesterday.”
Then go check out who this Brooke Marks girl is:
http://www.holytaco.com/2008/06/04/brooke-marks/
And if you click on the link “video blog on Break.com” you will get to her video entitled “Brooke Marks Speaks Out!” A reply to the top comment “I think im in love” is from a user named “IntellTinkerer” who says “STAY AWAY: or this will happen to u IP ADDRESS 72.167.205.77”.
Go to that IP ADDRESS.
Holy f*ck it’s weird.
It’s just a root directory with 4 separate clips posted in .mov, .mpg. and .wmv formats. The very top clip is Brooke_Marks.mov which was uploaded on 6/4/08, the day Holy Taco claims Brooke died.
Watch this clip. It looks like Brooke is talking to a webcam and is interrupted by a guy who grabs her and stabs her repeatedly.
Then watch the others–Carolina.mov, Tony.mov, and Brandon.mov. Bizarre f*cked-up shit. I’m sure it’s all fake, but it’s disturbing nonetheless.
I checked out Brooke Marks’ other videos and there are some stripteases (this girl is crazy hot) along with some vlogs where she uses a hidden camera to “take us into her life”. And if you watch closely, you realize that even though she blurs her friend’s faces you can recognize Brandon and Tony (2 guys she dated) and Carolina (a girl that calls her a slut). Then I checked out the comments on these vlogs. “IntellTinkerer” is all over the place, directing people to IP ADDRESS 72.167.205.77, and hinting that he has actually killed off these people! WTF?
Anyone got any theories on this? You think Brooke’s actually dead? She must be if Holy Taco is going on record that she “passed away”. Surely she couldn’t have been murdered on camera for real. And when you see the others, you won’t believe they’re real either.
But then I found a video on Break called “Ok, now I’m freaked out” which looks like Brooke is secretly filming her encounter with a cop Dateline NBC-style and she’s telling him about the videos and reporting her friends as missing. The cop seems like a real guy and he says what I was thinking, that all these videos look staged.
So now I’m really fucking confused.
Is it just that I’m a BD extreme-horror junkie that all this seems like some elaborate hoax or some shit? I’m asking myself if these were really snuff videos, could I tell the difference? A serial killer these days could definitely get away with doing this for real, because we think everything like this we see on the internet is fake.
So again, WTF?”
The killer tomatoes are back in Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, and the offiical poster for the brand new movie has been unleashed tonight.
Additionally, we’ve learned that the film’s theatrical release is set for this August, with a panel set for San Diego Comic-Con this month featuring the world premiere of the trailer.
While you wait, check out the official poster down below.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence will be released in select cities across the US beginning August 7th in major cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Diego, and others, and expanding to further locations throughout the month.
The fifth installment in the horror-comedy franchise pits the eternal power of nature against AI’s best and brightest.
In Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, a young biotech prodigy develops a revolutionary genetically engineered vegetable designed to solve humanity’s problems. But when the experiment spirals out of control, it unleashes a new generation of killer tomatoes, setting the stage for another outrageous chapter in the long-running cult franchise.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes co-creators Costa Dillon and J. Stephen Peace return to write and executive produce. David Ferino directs.
The film features an ensemble cast led by franchise icon John Astin (The Addams Family), reprising his role as Professor Gangreen, comedy legend David Koechner (Anchorman), Academy Award nominee Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight), horror favorite Catherine Corcoran (Terrifier), comedy veteran Dan Bakkedahl (Veep), Myrna Velasco (Star Wars Resistance), Vernée Watson (Shrinking, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air), and Paul Bates (Coming to America).
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes launched in 1979, followed by 1988’s Return of the Killer Tomatoes, 1991’s Killer Tomatoes Strike Back, and 1992’s Killer Tomatoes Eat France.
The franchise also spawned an animated series in 1990.
