We at MovieViral have fortunately gotten a lot of feedback from the companies involved in the marketing of The Crazies. This is not always the case, so it’s nice when we know they care. This time, however, we got a little something extra in the form of a “Confidential” file on the “Ogden Marsh Township”. I’m talking an actual package in the mail! To see photos and analysis of the file, as well as what it’s really for, you know what you have to do.

Since the film comes out in less than three weeks, it’s only fitting that there are more items released in regards to The Crazies. We have a look at some exclusive clips, exclusive pics, and a fun game on the official site that allows you to dig out your best friend’s eyes!

If you haven’t seen them yet, there are a couple of new TV spots out there for The Crazies. Nothing we really haven’t seen before, however between the voice over and the text on the screen, it gives it more of that creepy vibe I’m hoping to get from the movie.

We’ve received the username and password for the Ogden Marsh Sheriff Department website. The login allows you to listen to logged dispatch calls, in total fifteen calls (one of which has been removed).Get the username and password for the login as well as the transcripts of each call after the jump.
I just wanted to run a few quick updates by you in case you are keeping score.
A couple of posts have made their way onto the SaveOgdenMarsh blogspot. Why is this news? Well, for starters, there never were any posts on this blog before. Now, we have a couple from a new blogger from the little town in Iowa, by the name of Lauryn Holmes. And by the response of Kim, they are close.

Update: The link to the Ogden Marsh Sheriff’s Department has been fixed.
If you have been following the viral campaign for The Crazies, you may notice a few odd things. A few things that do just not seem to fit. A few things flat out wrong. This campaign seems to have hit the ground running, blasting out of the gate, and not even knowing what turn to take. Maybe even unprepared for their next step.
There are so many issues that show up throughout the many pages of viral that I want to list them out for you and see if maybe you can agree, or give us your thoughts on why such seemingly simple issues keep popping up.
UPDATE: Our forum friend has found another update to the site. Right click on the screen and select “play” from your options. A list of dispatch messages are shown, though only the first one can be listened to. The message is from Kim Jonson, who you may remember runs SaveOgdenMarsh.com, but it’s just asking for a permit to assemble.
You may remember that Scott reported earlier about how OdgenMarshSheriff.com had been linked to briefly from OgdenMarsh.com before being taken down. At the time, the site clearly hadn’t been set up. Today, we know the site works thanks to a member of our forum. So, what goodies are to be found at OdgenMarshSheriff.com? Find out after the jump.

The updates for The Crazies keep coming at a rapid pass the film nears it’s release next month. We’ve reported on the DP Chemicals’ homepage, and the fact that there’s a login option that we had yet to access (aside from our little homepage“>hack. Luckily, the guys over at Bloody Disgusting figured it out. The login is “jbmartin” and the password is “p@ssword”. This gives you access to the email account of Jessica Martin, who is as we have talked about before, Director of Communications at DP Chemicals.
Whether or not you want to call this a clue or a way to get people excited over a change to viral site, it’s enough for us at MovieViral to get it out there and see what happens.
A while back we talked about the new site of DP Chemicals and the fact that there is the possibility of a hack. Well, depending on how YOU read into it, that possibility is a bit closer.
Now when you go through the motions to get the password on the screen (and stay there), the symbol for “Omega” is there. In addition to seeing some times in the background to go along with the messages for Patrick, whose name is no longer there.
A couple of other things that stick out is the fact that Dayton/Pendrill is celebrating their 75th year, possibly a difference in the pictures of the plants, and the fact that DPChem is now part of A Krayze Industries Company, which links you to the movie site.
So we have Omega, and we have 75. Omega is the 24th number of the Greek alphabet and is equal to 800. So get to work! Let us know what you find.
The Crazies is in theaters on February 26, and you can check out our page for the film, which has been updated to link some great fan pages
Overture Films has released a new trailer for their upcoming film The Crazies via theirYouTube channel, and while it may not be as effective as previous trailers, I like what they were trying to do with the shorter time. Take a look:
