#RECVirus

#RECvirus was an extended piece of 'Twitter theatre'. The story began on Friday August 31, 2012, when Fetch Publicity published a video warning contacts not to touch "infected" promo discs of their new horror film release [REC]: Genesis. Everyone Storified here were #RECvirus 'cast members'...

  1. FRIDAY AUGUST 31, 2012
  2. Okay. So my priest neighbour @HolyHombre is a retired exorcist. There's a #FollowFriday if ever there was one.
  3. Wow, look at this. Why isn't my disc of [REC] Genesis here yet?! *watches letterbox impatiently* youtu.be/T8ZTdNGchZo #RECvirus
  4. Looking forward to the party at @JasonArnopp's place tomorrow. I love a sausage roll! #RECvirus
  5. Hey @JasonArnopp have you got one of these #RECvirus discs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8ZTdNGchZo&feature=youtu.be Can I lick it tomorrow? Can I sir? Can I rub it on my face?
  6. This Rec Virus is getting silly now. Might turn up to @JasonArnopp 's party tomorrow with a 'Break Glass For Emergency Crucifix.' #Recvirus
  7. SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 1, 2012
  8. Today, me and @Segggg are hosting an all-day house party for our anniversary, which neatly doubles as a #DoctorWho-viewing party. Neat.
  9. I have invited @HolyHombre - hope he shows! RT @Greebobek: @JasonArnopp @Segggg Congratulations. Is your exorcist neighbour invited?
  10. Still thinking about all the mad stories @HolyHombre told me last night about exorcism. He's a very followable gentleman indeed.
  11. Everyone coming to this party is very followable too. Here's a handy list of them: bit.ly/PK3Uom
  12. If it wasn't for the pesky #RECvirus, I could screen [REC] Genesis for party guests this afternoon! (Warning: youtu.be/T8ZTdNGchZo)
  13. Just managed to find time to write a blogpost. #RECvirus: What's Going On? bit.ly/NCYhOm
  14. @JasonArnopp @segggg There's nothing like watching a film about possessed people trying to eat each other to celebrate romance. #RECvirus
  15. should be fun at @jasonarnopp & @segggg's party - drink, Doctor Who, maybe [REC]³ tho seems it's gone viral http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8ZTdNGchZo #RECvirus
  16. RT @JasonArnopp: Just managed to find time to write a blogpost. #RECvirus: What's Going On? bit.ly/NCYhOm
  17. Hmmm. Seems our building's ceiling sprinklers went off during the night in communal areas. I blame the #RECvirus.
  18. Changed my mind since that blog. We should definitely watch [REC] Genesis and have a #RECvirus party. Terrifying, I tell you!
  19. I'm glad the lift's working today in our building. Doubt our guests would appreciate climbing six flights of stairs. #RECvirus party
  20. Just catching up on all the #RECvirus stuff! jasonarnopp.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/recvir… I love the Rec films so there's no way I can resist watching that disc!
  21. Apparently today's shindig is now being referred to as the #RECvirus party!
  22. @JasonArnopp @mrtonylee lol, I've now got an image of your flat being in a tenement like 'Batteries Not Included'.. Creepy! #RECVirus
