Super 8 Viral Video Madness

“I know the pieces fit ’cause I watched them fall away mildewed and smoldering.” Ever since the Super Bowl XLV TV spot aired for J.J. Abrams’ Super 8, strange and wondrously viral things have been afoot!

First off if you head on over to the Apple site where the spot first debuted, you’ll notice something weird. The commercial, while mostly the same, has been changed slighting with flashes of imagery that amount to an even bigger image when put together. In fact, the trailer has been changing every so often.

Some truly eagle-eyed fans over at the Unification forums have taken said images and assembled them to reveal something startling. Click on the collages below to see them larger, and keep watching that Apple site for more. If you find additional weirdness, shoot us an e-mail here to let us know about it!

“The Paramount Pictures release is set in Ohio in 1979 and introduces a troupe of six youngsters who are using a Super 8 camera to make their own zombie movie. One fateful night, their project takes them to a lonely stretch of rural railroad tracks and, as the camera rolls, calamity strikes — a truck collides with an oncoming locomotive and a hellacious derailment fills the night with screaming metal and raining fire. Then something emerges from the wreckage, something decidedly inhuman.”
