  • I finally answered the BLACK PHONE 2!

    I finally answered the BLACK PHONE 2!



    Just got out from seeing The Black Phone 2 in theaters–a little late i know..

    I have to say, I’m writing this with that fresh post-movie buzz. Honestly, this might be a little horror masterpiece of 2025. It picks up where the last film left off, and we dive right back into Finn’s world.. yeah, the same Finn who beat the Grabber the first time around.

    This time around we have a different Finn and a very different atmosphere.. There is no feeling of victory here.. no hero mentality. Instead we have a mass amount of trauma..

    What makes this sequel really shine is how it plunges us into life after trauma. We see Finn, his sister with her eerie psychic dreams, and their dad, who’s still got plenty of issues of his own. There’s guilt, stress, and a whole lot of darkness everyone’s carrying around. The movie does an incredible job showing how these characters are dealing (or not dealing) with their inner demons.

    There was something this movie did very well: It drew us into the darkness with it. Seeing the theater in a dim theater is a perfect coupling of the atmosphere. You feel the bleakness and the depth of personal stress these characters are being forced to embrace..

    And let me tell you, the dream sequences? Absolutely breathtaking. They pull you into this surreal, otherworldly atmosphere that just hits different. You’re not just watching a horror movie; you’re feeling every ounce of the characters’ emotions.

    It’s dark, yes, but it’s also one of those films where you end up genuinely loving the characters. There is actually some depth to them, and not some void of mindlessness that horror films can give us. This time around, there as no playing around. We have grit and bluntness.. we had desperation and big issues. This movie did not shy away and stay safe. It dares to be different and, in the end, despite having a few little continuity issues for me, it became an instant hit. When a movie hits you emotionally, especially a horror film, you know it did something right.

    By the end, you’re rooting for them, and that’s not something every horror movie pulls off. So if you can, catch it in a theater—let that darkness just surround you. It’s totally worth it.

    See this in a theater while there is still a chance.

  • Mike Flanagan Wraps Filming on the New Carrie Remake

    Mike Flanagan Wraps Filming on the New Carrie Remake

    For about nine months, people have been groaning that we don’t really need another remake of Carrie from the Stephen King series. But Mike Flanagan was chosen to do it — and the series will be releasing soon on Prime Video.

    According to Flanagan’s own post, filming is officially wrapped. Listen, I’m in the same camp where remakes are getting really old. But I’m also in the camp where Mike Flanagan can touch a piece of horse manure and somehow turn it into something extravagant.

    Now, Carrie was never horse manure — not by a long shot — but it’s also not one of my personal favorites. Still, with Flanagan at the helm, it has the promise to become something much more exquisite.

    Looking forward to this one. On Prime soon.

  • Scary Disney: October is deadly at the Happiest Place on Earth

    Scary Disney: October is deadly at the Happiest Place on Earth

    It’s been a grim October for the so-called Happiest Place on Earth.

    In a TikTok video posted Thursday morning, you can see a heavy police presence near a taped-off pool at Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort in Florida. The user who posted the video wrote, “We were told it was a medical emergency. Prayers to the family & those involved.”

    Later, the Orange County Medical Examiner’s Office in Orlando confirmed the death to TMZ, saying, “We are still in the process of completing our exams” on the deceased.

    This marks the third death on Disney property in just over a week — following a reported suicide on October 14, also at the Contemporary Resort, and another body discovered at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground on October 21.

    And if that wasn’t unsettling enough, back in early October, a person was found unresponsive inside the Haunted Mansion ride and was later pronounced dead at the hospital.

    It’s safe to say that this has not been a magical October for Disney.


    But this is not the first dark time for the park..

    For a park that gets so many a year, it would be inevitable that some not such great things happen from time to time..

    The park’s first death happened three years after its grand opening in 1974 when a light bulb filament ignited fumes from glue being used by a 49-year-old carpenter Robert Marshall as he was repairing a boat, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

    Four-year-old Joel Goode tragically drowned in 1977 after falling into the moat that surrounds Disney’s iconic Cinderella’s Castle.The boy’s parents successfully sued Disney for $4 million, but jurors determined Goode’s parents were partially liable and halved the payout o $2 million, according to the Tampa Times.

    11-year-old Long Island boy Robert Johnson Jr., contracted a brain-eating amoebic infection after swimming in the lukewarm, unchlorinated River Country water park.

    River Country — permanently closed in 2001 — claimed two others by drowning, one of the park’s most common causes of death.

    In 1987, a 6-year-old boy drowned in a crowded swimming pool at the park. The family later sued, claiming there should have been more lifeguards on duty, and Disney settled for $250,000, according to reports.

    Lane Graves, 2, was attacked by an alligator on the shore of the Seven Seas Lagoon. The gator pulled the boy into the water, and his body was recovered the following day.

    Perhaps the most bizarre death: when Javier Cruz, a cast member wearing a Pluto costume, was run over by the “Beauty and the Beast” float during the Share a Dream Come True Parade in 2014.

    One of the deadliest years was 1982, when a 2-year-old girl was hit in the head with a hanging menu board; a 36-year-old woman collapsed at the Polynesian Village Resort; and a 1-year-old girl fell from a moving tram.

    In 1989, Long Island woman Patricia Schenck, 33, was killed when the small speed boat she was piloting broadsided a ferry in the Seven Seas Lagoon.

    In 1984, South Carolina’s Gary and Dorine Newell, and their infant daughter, Stephanie, died when the single-engine Piper plane they were flying in crashed while attempting an emergency landing in the EPCOT Center parking lot. Then, in 1987, Rick Harper, a 27-year-old cast member, died when the ultralight plane he was piloting crashed during a rehearsal for EPCOT’s “Skyleidoscope” show.

    In 2000, a 37-year-old man was struck and killed by the Magic Kingdom Skyway. Ten years later, Massachusetts man Robert Krueger, 69, stepped in front of a Disney bus in the parking lot of Port Orleans Resort.

    All of these past heartbreaking moments have us revisiting an old REDDIT thread that asks if people think Disney is a really eerie place..

    But.. it is a scary world after all..

    Hurricane Melissa to explode in strength

    This looks too br a recipe for a disaster over certain parts of the CARRIBEAN…

    Tropical Storm Melissa is forecast to rapily intensify into a major hurricane this weekend as it lashes Jamaica and parts of the northern Caribbean, bringing days of life-threatening, potentially catastrophic impact.

    Jamaica looks to be the epicenter for the worst of Melissa’s triple threat of extreme rainfall flooding, wind damage and storm surge. Melissa could make landfall on Jamaica late Monday or early Tuesday. Haiti also continues to be in thick of Melissa’s destructive flood and landslide threats.
