There have been several nights in my life when I’ve looked up at the night sky, seen gaggles of what people told me were birds and thought: “Wait, those are killer alien mustaches.”

I am delighted, therefore, that the wise minds at Intel and Toshiba have come together to bring digital life to my fears.

For they are launching an interactive social film — which is, I believe a film in which you can scare yourself as well as your social network — called “The Power Inside.”

The conceit of this oeuvre is, oh, you won’t believe me. Let me quote Intel’s own fair hands: “The film’s plot follows an alien invasion by a race of extraterrestrial mustaches and unibrows who take over the upper lips and eyes of people around the world.”

Yes, not only mustaches, but killer unibrows too.

I can feel you bringing your hands to your faces to see whether you have already been affected.
