Ok. I didn't know that Superstition Mountain was actually part of a real mountain range; that makes me feel significantly better about the title.

I think that the newer teaser is a significant improvement, though I honestly think that the short cut of the teens making out honestly does not fit in with the rest of the teaser.

You make a good point that you're trying to reach the 15 - 25 year old male bracket, but a the same time, the fact that this is being set up as a documentary is going to reach out to other demographics. To tell you the truth, there is a part of that that will flag down the indie horror enthusiasts, and it is those demographics that are going to be wary of the teen partying bit.

If you are trying to target the 15 - 25 year old male bracket, how will you get them interested in actual interview snippets? I feel as though you might be splicing in the sex simply to keep that bracket interested, but maybe you should considering taking this film to a higher level (not trying to belittle going after that age bracket; they are definitely a demo that is targeted constantly in horror; I just feel that doing it with a documentary is a little risky).

As a viewer I am interested in the documentary aspect, but uninterested in the teenage boy aspect. It's very possible that the teenage boys would feel the same way; Sure, the sex is appealing, but what's with those old guys?

I know I'm being flip, but just something to consider.
