The Midnight Horror Society's merman clip wakes on its third day

A Cabin in the Woods purge scene sat nearly untouched for two days, then gathered almost all of its audience in one go.

Why this story? The video is running at 23,219 views a day, 125 times its usual pace (186).

Almost every view this Cabin in the Woods clip has ever had came in a single day. The Midnight Horror Society posted "Killer Klown & Merman Slaughter Scene | The Cabin in the Woods" three days ago, and its first two days were barely a murmur. Then roughly 23,000 people turned up at once, well over a hundred times the clip's usual pace.

The channel is a clips channel, so the scene belongs to the 2012 film directed by Drew Goddard, who wrote it with Joss Whedon. The merman in the title is one of the movie's best-remembered payoffs: Bradley Whitford's character spends the film wishing he could see one, and eventually gets his wish.

For a channel that lives on horror moments like this one, the clip has gone in three days from forgotten to its busiest upload.
