Corrected entry: In the beginning of the movie at the Halloween party they look at the countdown and it says 6 months 12 days and 8 hours and change left until the release date of Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace. The release date for the Phantom Menace was May 19th 1999. 6 months 12 days before that release date would make it November 7th. Why would you be having a Halloween party on November 7th?
Corrected entry: At the end of the opening crawl, it says "Sent from my Iphone" - but they were not around until after 1998.
Correction: The story is being told/emailed from an iPhone in 2009, about what happened in 1998.
Correction: The countdown says 199 days, the correct amount of time between October 31st and May 19th.
