'Dexter' is stalking me! (And he can stalk you, too!)

Aug 15, 2007, 02:47 PM | by Michael Slezak

Categories: Television

Mike_l So this morning, I got the most entertaining death threat ever — delivered fresh to my email inbox — in the form of a surprisingly sophisticated little video clip. Thankfully, it wasn't from a rabid David Caruso fan, furious with my recent blog post about his failure to score an Emmy nod, but rather, part of a nifty (albeit twisted) promotional campaign for the premiere of Dexter (overseas, I think). 

My best guess is that Dexter is angry because I still haven't watched the last six episodes of his first season on Showtime. But I'm planning to — before the summer is over. Now stop writing my name in blood on the wall, dude!

Anyway, I'm wondering what everyone else thinks about this campaign (click here to check it out for yourself): Would you send this to someone you love, or is it too disturbing to be taken lightly?

As rolls swell in the recession, workers find firms are contesting claims by alleging wrongdoing or quitting in a bid to not pay benefits.

I immediately sent it to a friend who's a fan, and she was not amused at all. I honestly am shocked, since she's the one who cut her eyeteeth on horror flicks and I'm the one who can't stand them and shouldn't like the show at all. But Dexter is great, I think the ad campaign is hilarious, Michael C. Hall is AWESOME, and the Emmys are dead to me.

Rachel K Thu, Aug 16, 2007 at 07:32 AM EST

so maybe i'm weird and twisted but i loved this promo. it was so real and creeped me out but i liked it anyways. i sent it to a friend of mine that watches Dexter so hopefully he'll appreciate it too!

wagonmaker Wed, Aug 15, 2007 at 10:25 PM EST

Love the show, and you must watch the rest of the season - they do a great job tying it all up. And how could the Emmys overlook Michael C. Hall? But I don't think the ad campaign is ok - leave it to fiction and don't take it to real life. There's no way to protect against some sicko getting his kicks this way.

Stef Wed, Aug 15, 2007 at 07:09 PM EST

I hope my sister doesn't get too scared of it, because I just sent it to her!

Katechill Wed, Aug 15, 2007 at 07:03 PM EST

Sent it to my ma last week. She loved it.

Gretchen Weiners Wed, Aug 15, 2007 at 06:02 PM EST

I love marketing campaigns like this! I rememebr last summer when Samuel L. Jackson called me and told me to go see Snakes on a Plane! Of course I sent it to everyone I knew. And I still don't know who sent Sam to me in the first place...

Vivi Wed, Aug 15, 2007 at 05:46 PM EST

Just sent one to my friend who I'm sure will be like, "Seriously?!!!"

Lauren Wed, Aug 15, 2007 at 05:42 PM EST

Well, if I hadn't just been getting threats from someone who was also making harassing phone calls to me, I would probably have found this funny, since all of that scary stuff is new to me, but it frankly cuts a little too close to the bone. Certainly give them credit for originality, though.

Tamara Wed, Aug 15, 2007 at 05:29 PM EST

I sent this to my mom while she was at work and her and a coworker watched it together. My mother laughed, her co-worker was horrified since she doesn't watch Dexter

Snarf Wed, Aug 15, 2007 at 05:08 PM EST

Are you sure Matt Damon wasn't behind this? Or that Ardvark?

Jill Wed, Aug 15, 2007 at 04:33 PM EST

Oh, that is AMAZING. But I have a somewhat twisted idea of what is funny, so I probably wouldn't forward it out of an abundance of caution. I wish someone had sent it to me, though..

2 Cents Wed, Aug 15, 2007 at 04:23 PM EST

As far as I am concern, this is the best waste of company time ever! I have sent it to friends, foes and frienimes alike.

jonathan Wed, Aug 15, 2007 at 04:06 PM EST

would it be bad if I sent this to my boss when I leave?

Anonymous Wed, Aug 15, 2007 at 03:09 PM EST

No, the real Caruso fans are the worst. They'll report you to Home Security. If ever someone named Lacy posts on your blog - you better hide. She is the nuttiest of the bunch.

Stephen Wed, Aug 15, 2007 at 02:59 PM EST

Slezak, forget the Caruso fans, I smell the work of Carrie Underwood lovers...

Yeaahhh! Wed, Aug 15, 2007 at 02:47 PM EST

Wow what do you know I got on to for hating Caruso! Look at my post on link at the top of the page relating to Caruso

Lesley Wed, Aug 15, 2007 at 02:39 PM EST

Are you kidding?! I totally sent that to my husband! Of course, I wouldn't send that to someone like my mom.

Merrie Wed, Aug 15, 2007 at 02:17 PM EST

My personal feeling is that if Dexter is after you, you probably did something to deserve it.

Vixen Wed, Aug 15, 2007 at 02:16 PM EST

Oh my, be careful there are a handful of real nutty Caruso fans out there who will come for you.

Shirley Wed, Aug 15, 2007 at 02:10 PM EST

Slezak, I can't believe you still haven't seen those last 6 hours. You have no idea what you are missing.

Pai Wed, Aug 15, 2007 at 01:58 PM EST

Wow that is disturbing. I'm not sure that's something to be taken lightly.

But that's my feeling overall about this show too. I LOVE IT, but I'm kind of creeped out that I do.

Dominique L. Wed, Aug 15, 2007 at 01:56 PM EST

I'd only send it to someone who watches Dexter. But everyone SHOULD be watching this amazing show!!!
