Another annoying flash banner ad with sound
 
For the movie abandoned. Screams/screeches when it loads and every time you mouse over it.

Is it part of a promotion (and thus here to stay for a while) or can it be blocked?

Annoying as hell like all ads with sound.

i agree wholeheartedly with this. c'mon - flash-based adds are ok, but loud screeches and screams are over the top. my sick (and just had fallen asleep) 7 month old did not appreciate daddy browsing dvdtalk during quiet time.

Got it a few more times, driving me nuts.

I have no idea if this is the right info or helpful at all, but this was the ad info I found on the page source when it came up.

it's coming from a network, so I'll have to hunt it down. Can someone post the click through url for it.

Will do when I get it again.

Well, I tried. I got it in both Firefox 2.0 and IE 7 but clicking on it didn't do anything. It has a "view trailer" spot on one part of the ad sequence, but clicking that does nothing either.

Right clicking just brings up the flash player settings.
