4 of the most horrifying Cedar Fever videos you’ll ever see.
My bike ride home from work yesterday left me with the worst allergy attack ever. My eyes were swollen shut. My lungs and throat were burning. And my skin was itching all over. My body felt completely abused–but I couldn’t logically explain what triggered the attack. It was almost like one of those sci-fi or horror movie where the invisible monster wreaks havoc on the helpless population.
Well, friends, my attacker has been videoed. The monster has been revealed. The following 4 videos are not for the weak of heart. In fact, what you’ll see may be more horrifying than any SAW movie. Be brave!
1. View from the deck
In the opening scene, we are sitting on a deck in the hills of central Texas. Suddenly, a gust of wind causes a green smoke to billow out of the trees.
2. Walking in the forest
In this scene, we are walking in a forest. Wind blowing causes more green fog to drift from the trees. What can it be?!
3. The green fog attacks
Cut to a group of lone campers enjoying an outing in the woods. A storm approaches, and they are surrounded by the green fog. The air stinks. Under attack, they start coughing. No one is safe.
4. Human fights back; monster revealed
One brave man goes straight to the source. Armed with a bat, he tries to beat the monster trees. His attack only leads to an explosion of green dust raining down. A horrifying and gruesome display that is not for those who are prone to nightmares.
Yes, folks, if Cedar Fever were a movie, those would be the test shots, and this would be the poster (via Amber Demure):
The rain this weekend will destroy the pesky Cedar Fever. However, the sequel coming out next week is supposed to include MORE snot, MORE headaches and MORE itchy eyes.
I’m waiting for the scene in which the city burns the heck out of all the effing Cedar trees, and then bans them from Austin city limits for life!
Happy sneezing, y’all!

Kill it. Kill it with fire!
Nothing 3 Benedryls and a bottle of Tito’s can’t take care of . . .
Wow you aren’t kidding, this cedar fever thing can be classified as a hate crime against humanity. Moving from San Francisco, I thought the heat would be my downfall but the cedars have no mercy. Ready for another antihistamine cocktail.
For some crazy reason I’m not being affected by the cedar this year??? It doesn’t make any sense because every other year has killed me.
I’m not exercising and I ate way too many Christmas cookies…maybe that’s the trick.
Thanks for giving a light-hearted entry!!! I’m a newbie. Moved here in ’07. I was grateful to get this collection of “Caught On Tape” videos. My story is worse: upon my doctor’s gentle message of “I’m not so sure you should be living here,” it looks as though I’ll be relocating.
I have never experienced this degree of respiratory debilitation EVER. I get hit each year. Shots of steroids up my nose have helped. But this year? I am bed-bound by it.
Thanks again for this comic relief! But while I’m laughing on the inside, I’m crying on the outside. Adios, Tejas…

Ugh! That sux! Hopefully the post cheered you up a bit.
I’m trying eating more anti-inflammatory foods and cutting down on foods that may cause the body to be at a low-level inflamed state.
Sad you have to move! *hug*
Yea the cedar sucks but In all reality just for watching the videos they aren’t classified as more scary than saw movies.., even though cedar is just terrible in its own way! :3
