THE HALLOWEEN BEST OF LIST

The HORROR REPORT presents some of the best reading from the website past..

Horror tales and truths from Halloween then and now..

In 2013, the HORROR REPORT mocked society’s traditional Halloween parties, those that take place at dive bars and feature women attempting to get themselves to the ‘whatever’ sexy costume of the year retailers offer. We cautioned to be careful out there to avoid becoming the next Ben Tramer..

Speaking of sexy outfits, the HORROR REPORT lamented how soon we sexualize children around the Halloween season. I sounded prudish to some in 2012 when I first posted this. I still think, two years on, that is rings true..

Though it is always humorous to go back and see what the ‘in crowd’ wore any given Halloween..Twerk it.

In 2012, the HORROR REPORT was shocked by the weather more than the season.. A snowstorm was forecast for the night of Halloween. Though that did not happen, a very cold and windy Halloween did. After all, Halloween 2011 featured a snowstorm.

Weather also took center stage Halloween 2012 as superstorm SANDY impacted the east Coast.. the NWS offered horrific warnings about how to prepare your body in case you did not survive.. 

Halloween 3 is decried as the worst in the many sequels spawned by the 1978 classic hit. But the HORROR REPORT has written about a renewed appreciation for the film.  The SILVER SHAMROCK tune may be the scariest song in history..

Though it has nothing to do with Halloween, we wrote in December 2013 that we wished Christmas would keep its tradition of having ghost tales and paranormal experiences. Bumps in the night can happen all year.. Christmas can also feature fright.

FROM THE STACK OF PARANORMAL NEWS:

THE WEEK OF THE WITCH

Expect the unexpected all week.. (Really all year) .. but during the Halloween mean season, all things are possible. Anything can happen. Be on the look out for spirits of the netherworld, Slendermen, witches, vampires, ghosts or goblins. Also in the mix: Real people doing really horrible things around the planet earth. If we can actually travel into space, we’d pervert that as well.

The final week of October. Halloween falls on a Friday this year. But not a Friday the 13th as that moronic online MEME has convinced some people of..Here is a snapshot of the things happening this Monday…as the week of the witch begins.

When Popes aren’t busy eating the hearts of innocent children, here’s some other things on the menu.. Now you know.

Canadian Parliament gunman recorded video message before attack that reveals it WAS a meticulously planned act of terror

I have seen warnings for years that the GULF STREAM was stopping. Now more warnings such as those old ones are back: But there’s some startling evidence that could suggest it is finally occurring. The colder than average area is the Northern Hemisphere has grown by 300% in two weeks. Then again.. it’s autumn. So …causation …correlation.. ? Be the judge yourself.  Don’t just take every conspiracy theory as fact. Nature has a way of doing what it wants, when it wants. Even if Chemtrails try to stop that..

EX-CBS reporter Sharyl Attkinson is saying something we all should listen to: The government hacked her life..

New Jersey releases a nurse who was forcibly quarantined over Ebola fears.. She also sparked a nationwide debate now as to how to handle people, in a American way, people who are coming back from Ebola infected areas of Africa. What rights do they have? What civil liberties should we maintain? These are big questions.. and important ones, as well.  But missing from the mix: The Executive Order signed by President Obama just this year that allows the government to take people who are suffering from respiratory or other disorders to prevent a nationwide infection. This is clearly a debate worth having.. but if something big and bad does break out, people will stop debating and expect the government to violate the diseased people’s civil liberties. Mark my words on that.

The debate that is taking place across America–how to respect the civil liberties of Ebola patients, or those that may be Ebola patients in 21 days–reminds me of the theme of the show TRUE BLOOD. No offense is meant to anyone suffering from EBOLA.. But the same theme somehow applies in my mind..

A few days ago there was hope that the ‘girls’ abducted in early 2014 in Nigeria would be freed. That did not happen. Today we learn that BOKO HARAM and extremists have captured 30 more boys and girls… Nigeria brags that they are Ebola free. But they are not free of horrors of modern brutality..

If you’re looking for something frightening to begin your Halloween week, here’s a listing of some HORROR MOVIES that you may have missed over the past decade.. Of everything IGN presents on their list of forgotten early 2000 horror, the tops I’d recommend is HOUSE OF THE DEVIL from 2009 CITADEL.

I have been following the search for the accused cop killer from Pennsylvania, Eric Frein, closely.. Mostly because the scenario is playing out less than 90 minutes from my own home base.. The latest from the state’s law enforcement arsenal: They are going to use a ‘blimp in a box’ to search for Frein.  Not sure if they are purposely trying to remind us of Justin Timberlake singing “Dick in a Box” on Saturday Night Live a few years back, but it did it for me.. But this blimp in a box is no joke, it’s a helium balloon equipped with cameras. In other words: A drone.. but ‘blimp in a box’ apparently has a much better ring to it.

Megan Fox
Megan Fox is still making the rounds for TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES, perhaps racking up more mileage than the Secretary of State.. Fox and her thumbs took the campaign for the movie to CHINA.. The way movies are marketed has changes so much over the past 14 years–the renewed attention on getting out the vote, in a sense, is amazing. The vote Hollywood wants is the international movie audience. So often the American audience does not matter. The real action is taking place in foreign box offices.. And that’s where Hollywood is going to be mostly marketing to. Expect a lot more stars and starlets to grace China’s fanciest hotels and theaters in coming years.

A WALKING DEAD episode last night turned weird.. IGN reviewed it saying the ‘post apocalyptic cookout turns awkward.. 

The 'sexy Ebola containment suit' is on sale online
The ‘sexy Ebola nurse’ being called the most tasteless American Halloween costume by pundits across the pond.. I agree.. but I disagree on the notion that this, or even the hazmat suit, is a best selling costume this year.. I don’t think it is, and there is no evidence I have seen to suggest that implication is true..

The pre-Halloween week box office was filled with spirits and magic for a little horror flick .. $20 mil for OUIJA.. If you read my site over the weekend, you will remember I predicted $21 mil, more than the $18-19 mil range experts called for.. Call me the little prognosticator who could.

GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD

‘Honey Boo Boo’ daughter: I was a molestation victim of the sex offender my mother is allegedly dating »

‘Honey Boo Boo’ daughter: I was a molestation victim of the sex offender my mother is allegedly dating . Here Comes Honey Boo Boo star June “Mama June” Shannon’s 20-year-old daughter Anna “Chickadee” Shannon Cardwell has revealed she was allegedly an 8-year-old molestation victim of Mark McDaniel, the recently-released convicted sex offender her mother has reportedly been dating despite her denials.

A very dark side of reality television is rearing its ugly head..

The amount of perversion that takes place to the youngest and most innocent of victims is deplorable—those victims are often offered up on the silver platter of fame and fortune. So often those false blessings turn into revolt and misfortune as the money dwindles and the spotlight glare of entertainment reality television is turned off, and the real unscripted reality sets in.

The most recent of these types of events comes as HONEY BOO BOO’s Momma June is back with a molester..

TLC dropped teh shoiw.

Now the oldest daughter says she was a victim.

All of this after years of ‘skettis’ and comical GIFs online.

The real story is tragic.
I always felt the entire cast of the various reality TV shows were tragic in a sense. Used and abused for cheap dollars but high advertising yields by corporations and cons.. The contracts are voluminous. Teen moms and all the like, HONEY BOO BOO as well. They work for cheap.. Much less compared to last century’s nighttime TV stars. These people are ‘real’ after all—or as real as we are permitted to see. There’s still scripts.. cameras.. crews.. and marketing firms. What we see is now what we get.. what we get is not real at all..

But, as we have seen for about 14 years now, people eat this up. And the constant diet of garbage is happily fed to the masses of asses by the grand schemers .. It’s an easy target audience: Everyone. The product? The worst stuff on earth..

Now HONEY BOO BOO’s life will change.. the scandal will continue, and undoubtedly the family that ate up fame as much as lard will ask for privacy.

Too late..

Their lives will now unfold in the public realm.. while the television production closes.

The devil’s in the details. Sell your soul? Get the horns..

Solar flare udpate

Active sunspot AR2192 unleashed a massive X.3 class solar flare..
The massive sunspot clearly emitted a giant flare during this circumstance..

But the amazing part, despite the planet starting down the barrel of a gun, this flare failed to produce a noteworthy CME..

Prior to the flare taking place, astronomers and scientists were amazed watching the size of 2192, the sunspot that would end all sunspots.

It was called ‘freakish’ in nature, and was the largest on our heating source since 2008.  The at point prior to the X.3 class flare, Jupiter would have been able to fit into the area.

For some reason, each time there’s the potential ED DAMES type end of all technology scenario, we avoid hell being unleashed. Either something is watching over us or, just by fate, nothing horrid in nature has occurred yet.

With the size of this sun spot, we are quite lucky, actually..
Let’s hope that 2192 now revolves away from the direct view of the planet Earth without much more fanfare..

NOT A TEST. BUT NOT AN EMERGENCY.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vg9OUlSaQxI]

While the TODAY SHOW talked about how to ‘take charge of your laundry’ Friday morning, a weird message popped up: An emergency alert that the channel has been force tuned to receive the Emergency Alert Message.. The actual audio of the station was interrupted in various cities while the message alert broadcast noise buzzed and the text demanded people stop using their phones to free lines up for the emergency ..

No alert message followed..
It is presumed this was a test run.

Apparently it was not just people scared into a few paranoid thoughts, but also news stations, as well.. <a href=”http://www.wsoctv.com/news/news/local/wsoc-tvs-statement-emergency-alert-aired-wsoc-tv-a/nhrBF/?ecmp=wsoctv_social_twitter_2014_sfp”>WSOC-TV in Charlotte put a statement on its website that read:</a>
<blockquote><em>WSOC-TV is looking into the emergency alert that aired around 8:30 a.m. Friday morning on Channel 9 and TV64. </em>

<em>WSOC-TV is hearing that radio stations broadcasted the message too along with our sister station in Atlanta WSB-TV. </em>

<em>We are investigating the alert and will have more information after we look into it.</em></blockquote>
A hijack? But who hijacked?

Man’s best friend. Proven again

This is why I love dogs and hate tragedy..

Amid the flags and flowers left outside of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo’s family home in Hamilton, Ontario, two dogs peeked out from under the gate on Thursday. Cirillo, the army reservist who was shot dead as he stood guard at Canada’s National War Memorial, was not only a soldier and a father, but an animal lover whose social media feeds were populated by images of his dogs. In a recent Instagram he described them as “my family,” and would often post photos of their antics.

This image got me very emotional..We can debate until we are blue in the face why evil happens, what inspires it, and why it strikes. We can argue about false flags and true events.. we can debate until we pass out from exhaustion.

In the end, innocence always suffers.. whether its children who just want to learn and laugh, or dogs who just want their master to return back home again..

SOAKING UP THE BLOOD

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vl6CGlBVpCA]

The video you see here  is an ad for a haunted house. This one was from 2013. But you’ll get the point.

It is called McKamey Manor. It’s in San Diego. And the waiting list to get into the attraction is 24,000 strong. No doubt growing not that it has found itself getting worldwide attention.

The reason so many are suddenly finding out about this is because of the extreme nature of the attraction.. 

Among the many enjoyable things that will take place when you go to this little gem:

  • Force feeding. Expect it..
  • Your head will be put into a cage with rotten eggs.
  • …and snaked
  • You will have your hands bound..
  • You will be placed in small boxes
  • You will be screamed at..
  • Expect to be drenched in blood, presumably not real

Things may get bad. That’s why you have to sign a waiver prior to admittance.

The trend of the extreme is all around us—from movies and the macabre to events of the real. Beheadings grace our evening news and now, as this testament provides evidence of, you can now ‘live your own horror movie’.. 

While some decry this place of rest and recreation and torture and rotted mayhem of the mind, others will defend it to their deaths.. 

You will undoubtedly judge for yourself..
The evidence of the video will speak volumes..

For me, someone who is a follower but not a fan of the paranormal, I can only state that I’d steer clear of this type of entertainment..

But not for the reasons you’d assume.

Would I be scared? Well, take a peak at the video. Of course I would be, and you would be, too.. 

Now, the real reason I would avoid this quagmire of a not so good time is because, while I often write about the paranormal and strange, I also write about current events.. current horrors. Real horrors.. My mind is already filled with the overwhelming gore and hatred that pervades daily news.
There are times I would just like to banish reality from my view..

A haunted house where reality and guts with gore are shoved, quite literally in this case, down peoples’ throats does not come off as entertaining to me..

Now, does the video make things look worse than they are in reality? I suppose you can say that. And I’d bet my next week’s salary on the chance that people who want the to go to the most extreme haunted locations will absolutely devour this like a flesh eating zombie.. but I wrote about those people before, too.

But there is one last valid point to make.. Should you be believer in the paranormal, the other world, and the more devious presences that some say exist, perhaps a place like this is the final place you should step foot in.. The evil that may be conjured by the actions there are intense.. Perhaps it will be enough to let the real scary show up in your life..

FRIDAY FEVERS: NEWS FROM THE WORLD

MORE Sears and KMart stores closing before Christmas.. Not even nipple slips could save them now.. the latest numbers show one troubling sign, financial analysts will tell us. If SEARS will close many of these stores and lay off thousands of workers prior to Christmas, the typical best time of year, then doesn’t that portend a self-inflicted fate of financial suicide? Perhaps it’s a sign that SEARS’ success will be confined to the Brady Bunch era and that, in the end, we may not see them around much longer .. the retail landscape is certainly changing.

My local mall is going to have some major issues, too.. SEARS and KMART are two anchor stores.. it has already been announced that SEARS is gone. No word on KMART..

The SEARS catalog was an amazing venture in the 19th century.. the prospect that you can order someone through the mail and get it was a novel concept. In that sense, SEARS was ahead of its time, the AMAZON of its day with snail mail backing up their success.. They have gone from that to being behind the curve and now, as we see in this latest set of troubling stories, they are about ready to get a retail plug pulled on them.. And the rest will be history.

The state of our fear: A real question being posed to a doctor: Can you get Ebola from a bowling ball.. The answer? “it is unlikely that someone that ill would have just gone bowling. Also, the Ebola virus is fragile and susceptible to drying out. It does not normally survive for more than a few hours on a hard, dry surface.”..

The “Anti-Facebook” page ELLO is getting fresh funding.. But read the fine print..

Facebook launches app for supposedly anonymous chat sessions.. The past repeats. This reminds me of AOL in the early 2000s.. Even the New York TIMES calls it a flashback to the Internet Bulletin Boards of yesteryear.. Oh nostalgia.

Peggy Drexler writes in TIME MAGAZINE that the problem online is not over-sharing it is instead over-following.. She has a point.. there are lots of brain functions changing as the Internet does..


Skip the cream! Botch up marketing as a Swiss company puts an image of Adolf Hitler on its packaging..

A real headline: Rubber ducks can save your sex life..

A few weeks ago, a few scientists revealed that they knew exactly who Jack The Ripper was.. But there is a problem: An ‘error of nomenclature’ is undermining their case against the Polish immigrant they fingered.. It is being called a ‘serious DNA error’ and may jeopardize the answers many assumed were found..

HONEY UH OH: HONEY BOO BOO show may be in jeopardy now that it turns out ‘Mama June’ is dating a convicted child molester..

HORROR AT THE BOX..

$19 MIL OR $29???

DEVELOPING

The latest information from insiders has the paranormal game flick scaring $8mil on Friday night screenings.. There have been some awful reviews of the movie and even worse CinemaScore grades.. But it may not stop people during this time of year from seeing the film..

Another strong showing from Saturday night..

At this point, according to experts, the movie is on track to finish around $19 mil..

The HORROR REPORT predicts: $21 mi, downgraded from an earlier $23 mil prediction..

Either way the film’s success may not be due to a good storyline, but instead an exceptionally good release schedule for a film about the paranormal..
