Cloverfield Monster Roar Added to 1-18-08 Website

8/24/07 | Labels: , , , , , , , | |

It looks like the boys at Bad Robot did play with the 1-18-08 site yesterday (see 1-18-08 Official Site Gone). A minor addition to the site today includes a hidden sound file of the Cloverfield Monster giving us a roar. After going to the 1-18-08 site you'll see everything is the same. However, if you leave the window open and leave it alone the monster sound will play.

mhovis at unfiction uploaded an audio clip of the roar and Dennis gave a look at the code and notes that it's programmed to play exactly 6:00 minutes after opening the site. Click the Blogger video below to sample the monster roar.

    To me that sounds like Godzilla. The marks in the Statue of Liberty are the one of a creature that looks like a T-Rex or Raptor. Godzilla is the one that looks like that.

    I've noticed you can turn over pictures on the 1-18-08 site. I don't know if anyone noticed this earlier. Just move away all pictures except the one you want to turn over and try to move it from left to right. there are two pictures with notes:
    "Dont forget who takes care of you! Love J"
    "Robbie. Here, use this photo to send a message of my hotness far and wide!!! Im gonna miss the hell out of ya!! Love, Jamie"

    Great marketing. I hope the movie will be at least descent.

    That sounds like Godzilla. Lets hope its not another remake

    That's a great monster sound.It's got the "hollowness" of the Godzilla roar with a vaguely human voice sound in there too.Let's hope that the monster isn't just a black column of smoke.

  6. Anonymous says:

    That in no way shape or form sounded like the old Godzilla roar. The Godzilla roar has a more metallic sound to it. This has a deeper "hollow" almost tubular sound.

    Check out my new poster for the movie if you want to know what the monster looks like @

    Look, that is not Godzilla's roar. I've grown up watching Godzilla and know the sound he makes perfectly...unfortunately. That roar confirms to me that this is not another stupid US Godzilla movie - thank goodness!

  8. fixyourthinking says:

    Good find ... is there ANY validity to this possibly being a LOST finale?

  9. jannuzzi13 says:

    If anyone one saw the american godzilla movie which I saw just a couple nights ago again the scientist dude said that if one of the baby godzilla's escaped from Madison Square garden it could have mutated into something new. At the end of that movie they reveal one egg which was destroyed and it hatched and ended the movie. If that godzilla had been mutated just like the guy predicted it wouldnt sound the same as the old one. I have also been doing research on the movie and have found out that its supposed to be a giant raptor like animal and when its scales fall off from shelling it creates smaller versions. I hope it is Godzilla though there is lots of rumors that it isn't.

  10. Doug says:

    It isn't Godzilla, thankfully, and this movie should be better and darker because of it. It's an alien with some Cthulhu-like influences, so it should be awesome.

  11. Kelty says:

    That roar is fantastic! I opened it at work, and continued working all the while ignoring the window while I was working. Then the roar came and scared the crap out of me. I LOVE IT. :D I grew up with Godzilla, so I'll always have a soft spot for him, but whether this is Godzilla, Cthulu, or the StayPuft Marshmallow man, I really don't care, I'm due for a giant monster movie fix!!!

  12. ljohnblaze says:

    I think it is interesting that the preview has the head of the statue of liberty flying through the city like that, considering that the statue is sitting on a mini island in the middle of WATER. So wouldn't that mean that somehow the monster or whatever traveled through water to get to mainland??

  13. Brenner says:

    I wonder what the writing on the back of the pictures mean? Doesn't give up much. This movie better be as good as the "hype".

  14. Hoodster48 says:

    Don't know if anyone has mentioned this - In the trailer, just before the 1st roar, you'll hear a female voice that says the word R'lyeh, a fiction long lost city from the mind of H.P. Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu.

    On that picture with the three friends, if you flip it over in the corner it says Lascano, Platt and Hud, and signed by Jamie. If you go to Myspace and search for Jamie Lascano, she has a page, along with Rob Hawking, Platt and Hud.

  17. Sebastian says:

    I keep playing it and knowing its not Godzilla or Cthulhu monster, it left me clueless.
    However, it also creeps me out every single time, which is gooooood, its scary becaouse (i may be crazy) but it has some "Humanity" in it that its completly disturbing...

    Does anyone think that the fact of The main character (forget his name Rob I think) is going to Japan? is this a Godzilla Hint???

    do you realize when they are running out of the building before the head of the statue of liberty hits the ground somone yells.
    "OH MY GOD ITS A LION ITS HUGE!"
    i think this will be somthing wev never seen befor not Godzilla not Cthulul if you listen close you can hear it it was the first thing i looked for it might resemble a lion.why woulld that be in there?

    I've heard through a close source to this project that it will end up being a giant, black turtle, with a long tail that looks like a centipede, with a mouth on it.

    Also, this monster is supposed to be so big that it can cause title waves with its tail. That's all I know.

    On the 1-18-08.com website you can flip the photos over. I did this bye accident. Just click and hold on an edge, pull in edges direction and do a quick shift in the opposite direction to flip it over. There are 2 photos with messages on back, but nothing significant.

    OK peeps, this may be a good guess, but what if it is a godzilla movie? They show the start of the movie with people running and the city being distroyed. What if godzilla just has not made into the movie yet and it may be another monster that trashes the city??????
    Oh and if the person in the trailer says a Lion. Kind Ceasar anyone???

    1-18-08 Movies about possible

    I Cor.1:18 - For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but unto us that are saved it is the POWER OF GOD. Judahs Lion might be a start to what this movie is about, but not that religous.

    Rom 1:18
    For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

    Is it just me or does the roar sound human like and also sound like it says help me. Why don't they just call the movie CloverField. It's already made the movie a big interst

    If you view source on the 1-18-08.com page, you will notice that the background color of the page is set to #161616. Why not just use #000000? I know there were theories abound about what the creature is, and one of them is that it is Satan. The color choice feeds into the 666 theory.

    seriously. this "movie" is so intriguing. i'll leave with this tidbit of info that i saw no one else pointed out. here it goes:

    it IS NOT a godzilla movie. for sure. it's not Godzilla, 'cause nobody's allowed to make another Godzilla movie until 2014(the rights are reserved until then).

  33. 4elements says:

    Since the Slusho site is connected to the movie...there are alot of references to a whale...so perhaps it's a mutated whale...sounds stupid, but that's my call.

  35. Keith says:

    As much as it's weird, I'm liking the whale-type thing theory, or something like it. I don't have the means, but I'd be interested to hear the first roar (and the website roar) with effects on it making it sound like it's underwater. I'm thinking it will sound EXACTLY like a humpback whale.

    Well I just found this out..I guess ill be lucky if you even read this but
    HEY WHY NOT TRY..

    on the frig the sticker on the door and top say EXIT MISTERY ST. now there is a MYSTERY ST. right near where the trailer is shot.

    Also after the first quake as he turns around and walks a way you see a map on the wall with red lines on it..as if he already knows where the IT will go

    and the one that TICKS me off…everyone is tearin this whole trailer apart but im still waiting for someone to say …wait a sec if the fireball is in front of us how the hell are they comeing down on the WRONG angle as we enter the apt. building door??….HUH….. i guess the fire comeing down the wrong way has not one thing to do with the IT whatever IT is. Watch it again cam looking at downtown area as big bomb or whatever gos off …..it gos up firballs POP into smaller balls …cam turns to its RIGHT runs for door but instead of the balls hiting there back like they should ….. it comes down from the right as if the fire was on there LEFT side when it went off not in front of them

    if you even get what im trying to say…good for you

    also jamie love mr bear…what the f it seems to me 1-18-2008 is not here yet and he has not left yet soo why she missing him already…????

    AND if you go to

    http://www.01-18-08.com/ you have all the pics??

  41. nosher says:

    if you flip over the photo of the cook you see a load of japanese writing, anyone know what it means?

    the rest are blank

  42. nosher says:

    mystery solved???

    re my comment, it may be that the writing refers to a recipe as the cook is showing something to eat and he looks like he is shouting something like "and here is my latest culinary creation" or similar?

    then again, who knows...

  43. Kent Roberts (Gigan Says Hello) says:

    It's gotta be a whale dudes. The clues are everywhere. Listen to the roar. It's like a whale grunt (if the whale in question had both a sore throat and stepped on a large nail). Then there are all the numerous whale clues and references on the SLUSHO! website, and the picture of the whale at the top-left corner of the TAGRUATO website. My money's on mutant whale.

  44. nickelly says:

    hi my names and i was just looking around and i came accross this site, and since its open for discussion

    has anyone here been to the Akaparallax.com site, i believe it has some sound clues

    and i also found out hte color of the background is grey, not black, which really gets me thinking because thinking about grey, when someone doesnt want you to know something they keep you in the grey?
    and also in the pictures
    everyones happy until after 12
    after that it goes haywire
    and on the parallax site youll hear in one song the singer says
    "the clock on the wall says quarter past midnight"

    yeah i dont know if any of this is useful

    but i think its crazy how lo-key this is

  51. TechnoFreak says:

    I believe it must be the Leviathan
    if you read this passage "But now, from between the black & white spiders, a cloud and fire burst and rolled thro' the deep black'ning all beneath, so that the nether deep grew black as a sea, & rolled with a terrible noise; beneath us was nothing now to be seen but a black tempest, till looking east between the clouds & the waves, we saw a cataract of blood mixed with fire, and not many stones' throw from us appear'd and sunk again the scaly fold of a monstrous serpent; at last, to the east, distant about three degrees appear'd a fiery crest above the waves; slowly it reared like a ridge of golden rocks, till we discover'd two globes of crimson fire, from which the sea fled away in clouds of smoke; and now we saw, it was the head of Leviathan; his forehead was divided into streaks of green & purple like those on a tyger's forehead: soon we saw his mouth & red gills hang just above the raging foam tinging the black deep with beams of blood, advancing toward us with all the fury of a spiritual existence." from the book "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" by William Blake

    In fact, if anyone has a DVD of STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME -- give a listen to the whales.

    Or -- easier yet, do a GOOGLE for WHALE SONG.

    In any event, can't wait to see the finished film!

  54. DingusMcStupid says:

    I think that this movie is getting the hype the producers want. If people keep talking about it and blogging about clues and pictures and puzzles, the film is going to be very successful. If you think this is cool and you tell somebody and then they inturn tell 7 people about it, and its as easy as connecting to the internet to read about all of this and check out the videos and pictures, everybody will want to see it just because they want to know whats going on. Even if the movie sucked they will make double digit millions within the first 3 days guaranteed. This gives people something to look forward to which is what people want. I am excited to see this movie and cannot wait to find out what it is all about. If more movies did this I would always have something to look forward to, I dont see many trailers that intrigue me as much as this has. This makes me want to write out some books that could be converted into movie scripts using ideas that people would love to see put up on the big screen.

    Hasn't anyone noticed the woman half way through the trailer who explodes? Watch the new trailer and slow it down just after a Dr. looking guy says turn off the camera. Two people in Hazmat suits are holding a woman behind plastic. For a split second you see her as thin and then she expands before the camera cuts out. Something to do with Slusho? What about the seen when they are in the tunnels and hear something. Obviously too tight for the sea monster.

  56. Eziekial says:

    On cloverfieldmovie.com look at the trailer. At the part where the missle shoots from the shoulder fired rocket launcher and the soldiers and tank(s?) are firing in the supposed direction where the monster is, the camera will fling to see that direction. It is not even one second long, but you can see (I think) the back or spine of the monster moving to the right. I don't know if it's rubble, but it sure looks a bit scale-like.

    That may help, but I don't know.

    im telling u, go to the slusho site and read everything. this is a new monster no godzilla crap. this monster is entirely new for sure. me and my friend did some research from the site and im pretty sure this monster is a cross between a whale creature and a crab. if you go to that slusho web site, you'll gather that from the origin story. theres a big empahsis on "not being able to drink just six," of the slusho drinks. with looking at the last available page on the site, theres an email there that may be real or, but go to the actual site and you'll go to this site about coporation that makes slusho and do all these projects with giving animals slusho. i think this may be connected with the monster sumhow....

  58. albinonerd13 says:

    Someone said that they think the movie is about Godzilla's infamous son, Zilla, who appeared in the last couple minutes of the last Godzilla film. I thought this idea was preposterous until I read the "History" page of slusho.jp. To sum it up, the history of Slusho is about a misunderstood kid who dies in a dramatic accident, but not before having an also-misunderstood science-freak baby boy. Sounds like Zilla.

  59. albinonerd13 says:

    Zilla, Godzilla's mutated son, was supposed to be in an egg in NYC according to the last US Godzilla remake. There used to be an image of an egg on ethanhaaswasright.com. COINCIDENCE?!

    SOMETHING NEW... THREE PICS NOW HAVE WRITING

    On the http://www.1-18-08.com/ site there are a bunch of pictures. THREE have writing on the back(not two... this may be new). To flip over the pictures, grab them and move the mouse back and forth quickly.

    The picture with the japanese cook is clearly out of place. It is not taken at the party. Also it does not have a time stamp in the lower right corner. If you flip over the picture of the Japanese chef you will find a bunch of writing in what looks like Japanese. I cannot cut and paste the language into a translator because of the formating. Does anybody speak japanese?

  61. laurenrenegade says:

    you want my opinion? i don't think the movie is going to be about a monster. take "the village" as an example, when it was marketed, we thought it was a horror flick about things in the woods. it built up excitement and a small bit of fear from the viewing audience, to only let us leave the theater in pissed off moods.

    personally, i think its the same scheme. i think it's just only about a group of people and how the y react and connect while trying to survive. i dont think this movie is just going to be one of those, im an average joe blow and i save the world types.

  77. emiles says:

    I have gone to see the movie a couple of times and this is just a theory but has anyone entertained the idea of more than one monster in the movie? The reason I ask is that the monster at the end seemed smaller and almost looked nothing like the monster that pulverized manhattan. Another thing is the bridge scene when the tentacle destroyed the bridge....the monster in Manhattan didnt have any "visislbe" tentacles. Lastly the statue of liberty sits in the water....so the monster went to Manahttan and then got back in the water to destroy the bridge then back out to keep destroying manhattan? Just some observations and totally loved the movie

    I turned pictures and found a Japanese message.
    I’m Japanese and I could read this message but I can’t find its sense.
    I can understand what it says, but I can’t find what it means.

    The message is about recipe of Japanese noodle.
    One of the foodstuffs is very odd.
    It is “Kaitei no mitsu” (locate on the end of bigger letter). It means “honey (or nectar) in bottom of the sea”.

    And lower right of picture, there is number “3912”. In front of the number there is Japanese kanji “番号”. It means number.

    Maybe my English isn’t good, but if someone require, I’ll translate all of them.
