Horror Legend Roger Corman Teams with Netflix this Halloween Season

Fenot Tekle here from the Netflix communications team. We’re excited to announce that we’ve teamed up with legendary horror filmmaker Roger Corman to create a series of Webisodes which will launch on October 29. Roger has chosen Netflix as the vehicle to make his online debut with “Splatter,” a three-part Web series debuting two days before Halloween and then concluding on Friday the 13th of November.

We’re inviting all of America to instantly stream “Splatter” for free on their computers by going to www.netflix.com/splatter. Netflix members with an unlimited plan will be able watch it directly on their TVs at the conclusion of the series through the variety of Netflix ready devices in the marketplace.

“Splatter” is the haunting tale of rock-and-roll legend Johnny Splatter, a musical genius whose sudden death has brought a small circle of “frenemies” to a mansion for the reading of his will. All came expecting a windfall, but when Johnny rises from the dead to seek gruesome revenge, they soon find out they’ll be getting a lot more than they bargained for. The Webisodes were produced by Roger and Julie Corman, directed by Joe Dante and star Corey Feldman in the title role of Johnny Splatter. The series will launch on October 29, with the second installment scheduled for November 6 and the concluding episode slated for November 13.

In an unprecedented plot twist, Roger is opening up the creative direction of the series by giving viewers the power to choose who lives and dies, making the outcome purely driven by audience participation.

For more information on the series, visit www.netflix.com/splatter. We welcome you to watch and vote and enjoy the fright-fest that is “Splatter!”

Requests and Suggestions

Once they started using Silverlight, they took it off their website (I guess they got sick of hearing paying customers complaining about how shitty streaming was because of Silverlight). Someone found the link and posted it here. Within 2 weeks, Netflix killed it.

Get it through your heads people. Netflix doesn't give a rats ass about it's customers anymore. We mattered when they were just starting up, but now that Reed Hastings is on the Microsoft board of directors, do you really think he, or his company, gives a shit about you?

Netflix should just get it over with and send everyone a single e-mail.

"Dear paying customer,

FUCK OFF

Thank you,

Netflix"

Why not team up with someone to improve your current service I'm tired of renting series from you only to find discs missing and moved indefinitely to my saved Q. I seriously question if you actually have 90,000 titles in stock.

I am sorry that this is not related to this text, but is there a way we can make suggestions of movies you should try to have?

For instance, you only have six or seven Antonioni movies.

Thank you,

If you look at the 5th post down from the top, you'll see the link they used to have. It was posted on last months blog. Apparently Netflix doesn't care what you want or think, because within 2 weeks of that link being posted, Netflix killed it.

LOL I love it how the comments are never about the BLOG.

Can't wait to see the screening of this movie, although it would mean to watch Corey Feldman! eek!

Keep up the good work NETFLIX!
I must be one of the few memebers that rarely runs into a problem with my rentals or streaming movies =)

Wanna know what would be cool... if Netflix carried Workout DVDs that could be physically rented or streamed to TVs/laptops...
to have a ton of different workout DVDs available at the touch of a button, that would set Netflix apart from the others!

From the new Terms of use.

"The quality of the display of the instant watching movies may vary from computer to computer, and device to device, and may be affected by a variety of factors, such as the bandwidth available through and/or speed of your internet connection."

They forgot to mention that piece of crap Silverlight might ruin things for you as well.

Why is there no customer feedback email? It appears blog comments are the only contact point.

My issue is that very few new releases are added to the streaming service. Meanwhile Amazon has tons of stuff, especially TV shows the day after they're broadcast. Last season all the CBS shows were on netflix the next day, but this season they're not.

Netflix needs to make they're streaming competitive if it wants to retain customers.

NO, YOU ARE NOT INVITING ALL OF AMERICA.

I am hearing impaired. I have an unlimited account. I cannot watch any Watch Instantly movies. I also cannot rent many films & shows because they are not offered with closed captions.

Isn't this in violation of ADA law?

sorry, but ada is not enforceable. it's a choice by providers, although it would guarantee a great monetary return if adopted.
