The Devil its Due

Evidently a promo for an upcoming horror movie...[Watch]

On the surface it seems funny, but I wonder how people can presume to take liberties to do this to others, and what makes the production studio's risk management department so sure stunts like this won't trigger a heart attack or a physical reaction where someone being startled could injure themselves or others...

Maybe someone who suddenly leaped back can find a good ambulance chaser and claim whiplash...

  1. Here's what I'd like to do. I'd like to set up the producers of stuff like this. There's the South American Chuckie video circulating. Chuckie smashes a bus stop glass and charges unsuspecting people with a knife.

    What I'd like to see is that someone proposes this and the camera crew recruits a person carrying a prop handgun. Rig Chuckie with some squibs and fake blood. Chuckie jumps out, passerby ventilates him, and as he "dies" he grabs the a-hole producer and says "This is all your fault!"

    There would never be another "You're on Candid Camera" horror show again.

  2. My guess is none of it was real - everyone in the video were more than likely paid actors. This has become a popular marketing trend lately - creating these viral videos to promote new products. Pepsi did it last year with the Jeff Gordon "prank", which was also fake.
