Plot
Holy horrible write up Batman! Misspellings and atrocious grammar! I did lolololol at "marijuana addiction." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.91.117.74 (talk) 03:06, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
Can we get a better plot? The wiki rules say that plots need to be complete..as in with an ending. Spoilers are pretty much mandatory. This is not an advertisement for the film, so a teaser is very inapropriate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.63.157.10 (talk) 14:52, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
- This can be a little difficult since the film has not been released yet. Check back in February 2010 and I'm sure a full plot summary will be available. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 07:29, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

kerasotes theaters has a release date for this film for october 23 2009
http://www.kerasotes.com/Movie.aspx?FilmID=2957

This is the best plot EVER. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.105.94.121 (talk) 14:30, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
That plot summary is COMPLETELY wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.0.89.78 (talk) 05:42, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
SPOILERS AHOY==
The plot summary seems to belong more with The Movie Spoiler than on Wikipedia. Shouldn't be spoiling the movie for those who haven't seen it yet although I'm grateful that I'm going to avoid this one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.216.7.5 (talk) 19:59, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
Umm it's an info page discussing the movie you fucking moron. What did you expect? Don't go to anymore movie pages cause they tell you what happens. Fucking dolt
Well, it's better to be polite about it, but I agree with the sentiment - if you don't want the plot spoiled, don't read the page, and it's often fun to read a detailed plot synopsis afterwards in case you've missed something. On a more serious note, how about a list of some of the "horrors" and which films they were from - I recognised the 3 masked people who kill Liv Tyler and her husband in their home in "The Strangers", and the girl in the Kabuki mask who ties up then sticks needles in/pours acid on the popular kids at her school, though I can't remember what that movie was called.

H. P. Lovecraft reference
"The Ancient Ones" are obviously a reference to H. P. Lovecraft. Are there any sources on this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.39.90.235 (talk) 07:36, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
- Well, there's Cthulhu_Mythos_anthology#The_Book_of_Cthulhu. SkepticalRaptor (talk) 22:32, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
Comedy Horror
I would say that this film is more of a Comedy Horror since we know the source of what's going on for the entire film, they were very few points in the film were I really felt suspense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.98.19.20 (talk) 16:13, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
- I have read in articles that it is meant to be a horror comedy, similar to Evil Dead II. Charlr6 (talk) 21:00, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
- As always these things need sources, there are main genres and then other things. Scream for instance has some comedy elements to it but it would be wrong to describe it as a horror comedy. Evil Dead, at least the first one, seemed to be taking it a lot more seriously in terms of gore and horror. As for how much it scared you, that is entirely subjective. There are lots of horror films which aren't particularly scary, but it doesn't make them comedy films.Darkwarriorblake (talk) 21:20, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
Well the Wikipedia page that lists "Comedy Horror" Films does have Scream listed, atlhough it also has the Scary Movie Films listed and I think that it is quite a stretch to even call them that. I think that what makes a film a "Comedy Horror" is that it is a Horror Film first but has significant elements of Comedy in it which normal Horror Films do not have (aside from 1 or 2 one liners which are typically used as tension releasers) which I believe The Cabin in the Woods has. But I think that we should use "Comedy Horror" rather than "Horror Comedy" since the later seems to imply that the film is a Comedy first and a Horror second and not the other way around. There are a number of reviews that list this film as a "Comedy Horror". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.98.19.20 (talk) 23:59, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
- You would ideally put horror first because that defines the setting, the same way you would call something "science fiction action film" and not "action science fiction film".Darkwarriorblake (talk) 00:02, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
Sigourney Weaver as "herself"?
I don't see any source for this, and as someone who has seen the film it doesn't make any sense to me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.193.189.11 (talk) 04:47, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
Monster Whiteboard
I added this from a few released stills. The whiteboard lists all of the monsters in "storage" - so it is fun
