Haunting Melissa is a horror "movie" which is dripped into your real, everyday life by your iPad or your iPhone. Instead of sitting down for an hour and a half and watching the story unfold, the story comes in episodes.

The twist is that the snippets are delivered at unexpected times, and you’re told about them through push notifications sent to your iDevice.

Veteran storyteller Neal Edelstein has reinvented filmmaking in a way that brings the power of hypnotic, episodic content to the iTunes Store. Viewed exclusively on the iPhone and iPad this frighteningly haunting story is released in sporadic and unexpected ways that will leave you constantly guessing, and constantly engaged.

You can pay for each new episode, or buy a season pass, just like with regular TV shows. I would probably love this idea if I was still into horror movies (I got out of them just before Wes Craven got crappy), but what I love even more is that independent producers and studios can now choose how to deliver their TV shows and movies. Maybe this is the way Apple TV will work in the future?
