Um, most those word of mouthers were hired by the studio. It was one of the most succesful, if not THE most successful planned marketing approach to a film release.

The phenomenon of BW was the unique and successful marketing... through to the point where, obviously, some people still don't know about it.

I saw the movie at home long after the phenomenon was over... and knowing that said phenomenon was mostly marketing may well have colored my viewing experience but neither I nor my girlfriend at the time (who both loved being scared by a good spooky movie) had a single genuine fright.
