    Maria about to become an historic storm of epic proportions..

    The year of the hurricane continues ..  

    As of 11 a.m., Maria had grown into a “rapidly intensifying” Category 3 storm with maximum sustained winds of 120 mph and was about 60 miles east of Martinique, a French island that is home to some 400,000 people, the National Hurricane Center said. 

    Maria could grow into a “major hurricane” by Monday night or early Tuesday as it takes aim at Puerto Rico’s southern coast, the hurricane center said…

    This will be he first time since 1928 that Puerto Rico had a cat 4 or 5 storm hit it.. 

    And then? Looking more like landfall along the United States east Coast may occur.. 

  • Just getting around to CHANNEL 0 CANDLE COVE

    Just getting around to CHANNEL 0 CANDLE COVE

    …Late to the game on this.. It has been a tremendously long year with way too many distractions to count.

    But this weekend finally getting accustomed to CHANNEL 0 CANDLE COVE.. It is a SYFY original based on a creepypasta, and it has a good nostalgic ‘stranger things’ type of feel to it.

    Highly recommended from the HORROR REPORT..

    The show only had a few episodes, but was greenlighted for a new season 2..

    Candle Cove (2016)
    A child psychologist (Paul Schneider) returns to his small home town to investigate the mysterious disappearance of his twin brother and a slew of other children in the 1980s, and how it is connected to a bizarre local children’s television show that aired at the same time.

    The No-End House (2017)

    A young woman named Margot Sleator (Amy Forsyth) visits the No-End House, a bizarre house of horrors that consists of a series of increasingly disturbing rooms. When she returns home, Margot realizes everything has changed.
    One part of season 1 that somewhat chilled me a bit was the tooth-child!

    Aside from just the puppets of Candle Cove, Channel Zero’s first season is inhabited by what appears to be a young boy made entirely out of teeth. “So the Tooth Child,” Antosca explained, “came to me in a nightmare. After envisioning this thing, it harkened back the ideas of childhood, of losing your teeth, of growing up, and of having recurring dreams that explored all of these things. When I proposed the idea of the creature, it struck a chord with the writers’ room. We had some fantastic artists, who also worked on Hannibal, create the suit for us and we couldn’t be happier with it. For the record, no those aren’t real teeth.”

    That is frightening an brilliant! It preys on the deepest and darkest fears I have always had as well..

    I never trusted the Tooth Fairy growing up. I always pictured him or her as some beastly and ghastly creature that stole teeth and ended up doing sordid things with them–this before I knew just how horrible humanity itself could be.

    This tooth child  would be, in my nightmare, what the tooth fairy looks like.
    Horrid.

    So happy to hear that the show will be back for me..

    Lady Gaga postpones European tour due to health problems

    Lady Gaga postpones European tour due to health problems:

    “Lady Gaga is suffering from severe physical pain that has impacted her ability to perform,” a statement from her label published on Monday reads.

    “She remains under the care of expert medical professionals who recommended the postponement earlier today.”

    The 31-year-old singer also shared a message with fans on Instagram, saying she has been “searching for years to get to the bottom of” her condition.

    “It is complicated and difficult to explain, and we are trying to figure it out,” she said.

  • WEEKLY STANDARD slams horror movies as the cockroach genre of the box office!

    WEEKLY STANDARD slams horror movies as the cockroach genre of the box office!

    JONATHAN LAST WRITES,

    On the subject of horror movies, I mentioned this briefly on the show, but I want to tease the idea out a little bit: Horror movies are the cockroaches of cinema. They will survive everything, even streaming and the internet.
    That’s because they’re bottom-feeding, low-cost, high-ROI enterprises that appeal to both a deep niche audience (horror fans) as well as to the broad general quadrant (teens and young adults looking for thrills). And as a consequence, they can be marketed cheaply.
    Horror movies don’t need stars. The effects they rely on tend to be inexpensive. And when they hit, they can bring the kind of returns that simply don’t exist anywhere else in the industry. Have a look at this list of the biggest returns ever on horror and it’ll make your eyes pop out. Paranormal Activity made $200 million on a $15,000 budget.

  • IT continues to make some box office history

    IT continues to make some box office history

    IT easily beat mother! this weekend .. It wasn’t great competition, but it’s a good victory nonetheless.

    And some facts: In its first 10 days, the film adaptation of Stephen King’s novel has earned $218.7 million domestically, passing up Get Out ($175.5 million) to become the No. 2 R-rated horror film of all time behind The Exorcist, not accounting for inflation. 
    It is already the top-grossing September release in history. 
    IT will finish its North American run with north of $300 million.

    Overseas: IT is grossing $60.3 million in its second weekend from 56 markets for a foreign tally of $152.6 million and a stunning $371.3 million worldwide against a $35 million budget. 

    Highlights included a record-breaking horror opening of $13.8 million in Mexico.
    A perfect horror movie for the age of TRUMP.
