well that was a wild ride, in the four minute span between me reading that article and looking for more information, I actually believed it and felt really depressed. thankfully it was only four minutes to debunk!

Is this why Cabin in the Woods listed "Angry molesting tree" as an option?

Yes but just like JackHandy I'm still asking where's the catch?
