NEW YORK – June 12, 2012 – To celebrate Syfy’s June extravaganza of four Saturday Original Movies – Jersey Shore Shark Attack (6/9), Piranhaconda (6/16), Arachnoquake (6/23) and Bigfoot (6/30) – Syfy Digital is offering fans a remarkable 20 movies in one month at its new Movie Hub (syfy.com/movies) and the popular Syfy Rewind destination.
The Saturday Original Movie Hub showcases Caption This!, where fans can add their unique sense of humor as a caption to a photo from their favorite original movie, while users everywhere can join the fun by rating the captions. The mini-site also features weekly Viewer Polls (one per original movie) with a wide variety of questions pertaining to movie themes such as creatures, disasters, aliens and zombies.
