The Horror That Wasn’t

While MTV’s series ‘Catfish’ may be popular enough that you’ve heard of it, do you know where it came from? The term didn’t just appear, in fact, in one of the more unsettling justifications in the film, we are given the term. I believe that was when it was coined. Here, we have a trailer for the original film:

I feel like the way this has been cut together leads the viewer to think it’ll be more of a thriller than the fun and games seen on MTV. It seems scarier, even, and I feel that that is a more appropriate approach to representing this phenomenon. After all, it’s a pretty unsettling thing. Why not show this to mum or dad and see how they take it?
