Synopsis
LRR presents a trailer for a '50's-style horror film. An experiment seemingly funded by Evil Inc. goes terribly wrong, unleashing zombies across the world, a problem that only worsens when the experimental data is released across the 'Net. Chock full of enticements like "Bladder Draining Terror!" and promises of "Mystery! Suspense!! Acting!!!", the trailer doesn't present a rating for the movie, as the reviewers were too frightened to see it.
Trivia

- The outburst about the impossibility of packing the Internet with C4 is a reference to US Senator Ted Stevens' infamous statement that the Internet was a "series of tubes"
