Essentially, the title says it all, and that’s the point. A man is hounded, assumedly for eons, by a mysterious pale specter ceaselessly attacking him. Undeniably the slowest, most agitating murder, this protracted assault is billed merely as a trailer for an upcoming, nine-hour movie. In THSMWTEIW (if you’ll pardon the abbreviation), it’s the same joke over and over, testing the comic threshold of redundancy. Amazingly, it’s hard to stop laughing.

Cute idea, I understand that the length was part of the joke, but it could have been a bit shorter. Other people kept laughing, so maybe I'm wrong, but the joke wore out half way through. I suppose people who are very into the horror genre have a greater appreciation for the tropes being paraodied than I would, but I still found it to be pretty entertaining and clever.
