Month: March 2014

Remember the story from Northampton that would pose under streetlights at night and walk down lonely roads with balloons? He became an internet sensation in the UK and throughout the world.. 

Either a copy cat is in the works in New York City OR a yet another publicity stunt is brewing for a horror movie.. 

As the New York DAILY NEWS reports, a ‘creepy clown’ has been spotted around Staten Island and is spooking residents of the borough. 

This clown, unlike the UK version, is dressed somewhat exactly like Pennywise the dancing clown from Stephen King’s classic IT book and TV movie.. 

The clown has been spotted and even some have said it looks like the famed “DOINK” from wrestling allure..

BUT… this is the latest on the oddity: There seems to be links between the people involved with this rash of clown sightings and a company called Lens Productions. 

Nonetheless, clowns are scary no matter why they show up.. Sure, they are marketed as kid-friendly balloon makers. But killers such as John Wayne Gacy sure don’t help the reputation of clowns.

Also this: Clowns have freaked out people for ages and seem to represent death itself.. a pale face, ballooned up hands, a large red inflated nose.. 
All the norms of post-mortem corpses. 

And clowns..

Just imagine this story: A plane traveling from Beijing to Sydney goes down in the Indian Ocean and people who survive the crash have to then survive tiger shark attacks.

That was actually the subject of DEEP WATER, a horror film being made by Arclight Films.

Due to the disaster of the Malaysian airlines flight 370, the project is (probably rightfully) on hold.. 

DEEP WATER was originally called BAIT 2 3D–obviously a sequel of “BAIT” .. the original BAIT 3D was released in 2012 and featured a tsunami throwing sharks at people.  It earned little money in Australia and got even more lackluster reviews that campy SYFY movies.

It’s not the first time movies had to be changed to due reality.. in 2002 SONY had to change SPIDER-MAN due to some scenes featuring the World Trade Center towers..

Often reality follows fiction, though. In 2001, the LONE GUNMEN spinoff episode of the X-FILES pilot episode from March 2001 featured commercial airliner jets being flown into the World Trade Center towers.. 

Meet the planet named BIDEN.. It’s a dwarf and it is from an unlikely region in our own solar system. (Notice how science textbooks pretty much get re-written by the day at this point?) Biden is beyond Pluto–not a planet–and it’s 7 billion miles from earth. And the name?

It’s real name is VP113, hence: A joking name of BIDEN. I am sure the Vice President can use this in his campaign ads should he seek the Democratic nomination in 2016..

Imagine: “Already a planet, why not a president?”

And as ABC news reports, there just HAS to be people jealous that BIDEN got a planet named after him.. (though on those commercials, you can still pay $$$ to have a distant star named after you!)

I saw a number of news articles poking ‘fun’ and making humorous quips about Kim Jong UN forcing students to copy his hair style..

Some laughed at how bad the hair looked to begin with.. others were making jokes saying “bad hair days” are coming for North Korean students. BUT.. is it even true!!?

Maybe not.. the most recent AP dispatch from Tokyo says that there are baseless rumors of hair cuts happening, and there is no evidence to point to anything showing that an official UN edict has been issued.

Word to the wise: The hair story probably is not real, but even if it was, it would be a distraction from the real news of North Korea.

You know, like the real news that North Korea has hell-on-earth style death camps that offer up a endless amount of brutal torture and inhumane killing..

Oh, and the fact that Kim Jong UN has an isolated regime and ………drumroll please…nuclear weapons.

His bad hair cut is meaningless compared to his real threat to the world.

There is some very important news from Hanford Washington..

According to reports, there are 11 workers at the now famed nuclear disaster site who are suffering nose bleeds, chest pains, and other ‘unusual’ symptoms..  The TV station reports that at this point no one us sure of where the ‘vapors’ are coming from.. 

And this story still fails to make national news and get any coverage it deserves.. unbelievable.

Clyde Lewis did a few Ground Zero programs on it–but others should be taking notice too.

This is a nuclear wreck and it should be getting headlines from all sources.

Instead, radiated crickets are all that is heard..

For those who are just beginning to obtain knowledge on what Hanford is: It’s a decommissioned US nuclear site in Washington state. It was established in 1943 as part of the Manhattan Project. The practices of disposing of nuclear materials was terrible, and the site became an eyesore of pollution with radioactive materials going into the air and the Columbia River.

A bit of history was made–any time a world leader meets the Pope, it seems to hold some bit of importance..

The pope and the president..

Two leaders of the world come together for for the first time in Vatican City..

Obama is hoping his meeting with Bergoglio is enough to help strained relationships with the Catholic Church..

The President seemed to be overly joyful as he exchanged gifts with Francis..  The gift by the way: Seeds from the White House garden.

Seeds that I surely believe are non GMO.. right?

I wrote about LIGHTS OUT in my morning update today.. After much thought, this short film deserves more attention with a post dedicated to it..
The video is here.. watch it in the dark.



LIGHTS OUT: Is this the scariest short film ever made!? I have two thoughts on it.. first off, it shows our attention spans collectively has shrunk rapidly. Comedy is down to 5 seconds.. horror is down to 2 minutes. 

BUT.. it also shows that there is creativity in the ranks of younger horror enthusiasts.. people who are tired of the blood and gore of nothingness and into trying to creature something new and fresh. 

This 2+ minute video, LIGHTS OUT, actually gave me a few jumps.. It was tense and pretty damn amazing. 

Congrats to David Sandberg for LIGHTS OUT .. an award well deserved.

I had a very long discussion with a friend last night about society’s ills and the dramatic changes that we have seen even in our relatively young lives.. It’s amazing. We traveled back to 6th grade. I distinctly remember “Sister Monica” and other nuns debating whether they should show my class that cutting edge flick SISTER ACT. They eventually did but I think fast forwarded their VHS tape past a less than tame part. And today?? SISTER ACT would be a joke .. Things have grown much more scandalous than Whoopi in a nun’s outfit.. But complaining about changes may put me into the same page as those who warned of the devilish dangers of Elvis’ hips gyrating. Replace Elvis with Miley Cyrus. Good news, even the ‘new’ generation was disgusted by her buttchecks flapping in the wind of her BANGERZ tour.

So that’s that about my crotchety old man antics.. >> ONTO THE NEWS…

SOMETHING may be finally on the map worth looking at: A satellite image has picked up 122 objects in Indian Ocean.. could this be flight 370?  I believe this: Malaysia’s government seems to making up facts as they go..

Fukushima anyone? The NAVY is going to test homes for radiation on San Francisco island..


Horrible news from Washington state: The numbers of deaths in the mudslide massacre continues to rise..  I was struck this morning when I heard emergency management officials from the area adamantly say that residents knew the threat of mudslides. That’s fine, and most likely factual. But let’s wait until we count all the bodies before we start blaming residents for their own demise..? How about that one..  One interesting part of the story: A very small 1.1. quake may have actually been a triggering factor for the mudslide.

Animal house: Secret Service agents who were charged with protecting the President’s life were sent home after a night of drinking. And it was not just a few wines at elegant restaurants.. it was hardcore John Belushi style.. One of the agents was actually found passed out in the hallway of a hotel..


Michelle Obama is being praised for a great speech on press freedoms in China. However, it’s ironic that the press is pretty much not allowed access to covering her on her trip to China. I’m sure they will be permitted to photograph her lettuce at the White House vegetable garden. You know, all the important stuff..

That other threat… North Korea yet again has fired off missiles .. this time they rest fired ballistic missiles in defiance of the United States and South Korea war games.. I have felt for years (And continue to do) that North Korea is the true threat to the world. Vlad the Pooty Poot doesn’t want to blow the world up, he just wants to create a renewed Mother Russia. But Lil Kim? That’s a whole different story.. I think he actually does want to blow the world up..

The NSA, CIA, and FBI are being sued for failure to disclose Nelson Mandela records.. Perhaps secret agency documents will confirm what we have always suspected: Mr. Mandela was a time traveler who died once before in the late 1980s..

This is how ridiculous things are getting: Creationists are demanding EQUAL TIME to balance Neil deGrasse Tyson’s COSMOS. They want to be able to scientifically tell the world that we are 6,000 years old and that God tore out Adam’s rib to form a woman. I’d actually enjoy hearing about what happened to the dinosaurs. I heard competing versions: 1) They didn’t fit on the ark and 2) Noah didn’t get a male and female dino egg, hence the die-off. But until then, I’ll just enjoy the FACTUAL presentation of COSMOS..

RoboGod is coming.. A ‘trans humanist atheist’ wrote a fascinating article for the HUFFINGTON POST on the Jesus Singularity.. 

Heavy global earth movements have taken place over the past 7 days.. The planet is shaking..

Animals are leaving Yellowstone..  BUT.. it happened before–in February 2012 the same story of animals fleeing Yellowstone was blasting around the internet.  While common sense and logic should prevail, Yellowstone is always the sleeping giant and a major threat to humanity.. And this video from March 20 posted on YOUTUBE shows bison seemingly running for their lives away from Yellowstone. That’s creepy. Even though weird video and rumors online persist, this story from the DAILY MAIL may quell your end times fears: Researchers are now saying that the Yellowstone supervolcano is dormant and may never erupt again! So they say….

Major 6.5 quake FIJI islands.. I hope Truman Burbank is okay.

Boom boom yo: What is banging in Florida?


I wrote about gyrating Cyrus in my opening to today’s news rundown.. and this sort of goes hand in hand, or booty in booty, on it: A gyrating animatronic doll is in the future. It may be one of the weirdest and creepiest things I’ve ever seen, but I can’t stop watching the moving GIF …

Doctors are now warning that our bad posture due to iPhones and iPads may ruin our lives–and shorten them!

A woman has received an eviction notice after she hung a colored drape on her window. That ‘drape’ was the American flag..

The HORROR REPORT has been watching this one: The war between GAWKER and Quentin Tarantino.. Tarantino’s latest point on the script scandal is that GAWKER fabricated a ‘news story’ in order to enable the theft of the script..  Whatever happens in this case has amazing ripple effects throughout the internet and entertainment worlds..

This is a really strange video.. what is in this pond?? Toxic sludge or a portal to hell?

Former Coast to Coast AM Saturday host John B Wells now hosts a daily program called CARAVAN TO MIDNIGHT.  He did not leave Coast on his own volition.

While rumors have persisted as to why Wells was forced from his hosting duties, he is hinting that banter about Fukushima may be to blame.

Wells said during this program:

This Fukushima thing is for real people. Despite the objections from the staff and the ‘on highs’ at Coast to Coast AM, I mentioned Fukushima every chance I got. And before it was it over with, why even the captain began talking about Fukushima. Well, we’re just a little bit late. Fukushima was almost 3 years ago and it has not improved. I used to ask over and over again, why is the world not rushing to Fukushima? I’ll tell you why, because there’s nothing they can do about it and they know it. So what we’re going to have to do is play this ball where it lays. What we’re going to have to do is we’re going to have to shut down our nuclear power plants in this country.

Since wells has left his duties, the Saturday program has offered a steady stream of fill-in hosts. No one since Wells has spoken a word about radiation or Fukushima..

George Noory commented that the program was going to go ‘in a different direction’ when Wells left.

Not even Noory, who occasionally hosted a Fukushima program, hasn’t spoken a word about it either…
