Week of Oct 19 (get past reports) – Last week the indie horror film Paranormal Activity surprised the movie industry by becoming a buzzed topic online, and our show Beyond the Trailer was there to capture the hype. Our review of the movie was the #1 search result on YouTube for the film, surpassing the trailers, and did over a quarter of a million views there.

The success of the video continues the growth story for Beyond the Trailer, which we're spotlighting this week. A number of the elements have helped the show, created and hosted by Grace Randolph, to grow: relevancy (topical movie buzz and reviews), timeliness (same day as movies hit the box office), and interactivity, with highly active commenting (who doesn't like debating if movies are good or bad?). This plus great search optimization and editorial support from key partners (thanks!) has helped the show to grow to over a half million views in October 2009.

• Beyond the Trailer's 6 Month Viewership growth (March to September): 294%
• 6 Month Subscriber Growth (March to September): 475%

Also from last week: Halloween programming's starting to be a big topic, with Indy Mogul's gory FX taking the #3 spot and Threadbanger's Halloween how-tos taking #8 and 10.
