Popeye, Mickey Mouse, and Winnie the Pooh aren’t alone anymore—now they’re being joined by a bloodthirsty, horrific Betty Boop.
More copyright licenses hit expiration, and Hollywood is wasting no time jumping on the trend.
Furst Class Productions is moving ahead with a new horror take on the curly-haired icon, turning her into a full-blown villain.
The story follows a group of horror podcasters who sneak into an abandoned theater, only to discover the legendary starlet herself—Boop—still lingering in the shadows and now very thirsty for blood.
Betty Boop will be played by Devanny Pinn, with Katisha Shaw, Spencer Breslin, Colton Tran, and Eva Hamilton rounding out the cast.
There’s going to be a lot of opinions on this one, especially from people who already feel like these horror remakes are the “degradation” of everything once meant for kids.
And sure—maybe there’s some truth to that. But horror fans seem to love these approaches, and a lot of these public-domain reimaginings are becoming low-budget, surprisingly profitable cult favorites.
Movies like this aren’t trying to win Oscars; they’re capitalizing on a moment in time when a famous character becomes available and blood and gore suddenly reign supreme
The Northern Lights are visible all across the United States tonight! If you’ve got clear skies, get outside now and look up. Brave the cold, the wind, whatever weather you’ve got — because this is one of the most powerful solar flares we’ve seen in years.
A solar storm warning is in effect, and the auroras are reaching farther south than usual — visible to the naked eye in places that rarely see them. This is a dramatic, historic event unfolding right now. The Sun has delivered a rare geomagnetic storm, painting the skies in waves of color and light.
This is one of those once-in-a-lifetime nights — don’t miss it! 🌌
It won’t be long now until the big release of Stranger Things Season 5. We’ve all been waiting for this one — not just for the story to continue, but to finally see how it all comes to an end. But the big question floating around right now isn’t just what will happen in Hawkins… it’s how much did this season actually cost to make?
We’re being told Season 5 is going to be huge. The Duffer Brothers didn’t just go big — they swung for the fences. According to various trade publications, the production budget for Season 5 may have climbed past $626 million dollars. Let that sink in for a second. That’s a bigger budget than plenty of major films, and when you consider the length and scope of this season, it’s almost like we’re getting several movies stitched together into one long final chapter.
The Duffer Brothers really did create one of the biggest science-fiction/horror hits of our time. And now we’re seeing the marketing push reflect that: Doritos, American Express, brand tie-ins, billboards, commercials — it’s everywhere. One last blast of the Upside Down meets 1980s nostalgia, flooding our feeds and our store shelves.
But that price tag? If the numbers are accurate, this would make Season 5 one of the most expensive television seasons ever made — even surpassing the $365 million budget of Avengers: Endgame in 2019..
There is also a chance that the entire season of Stranger Things may STILL be shorter than Endgame–we kid Marvel. Rumor has it some people are still watching it in theaters since 2019 .. again we kid, we kid.
But here’s the thing: let’s do ourselves a favor and avoid spoilers for at least a few weeks when it drops. We want to experience this in real time — not through leaks, comments, or breakdowns before we even get the chance to feel it.
We have our theories. We have our predictions. But we’d rather watch it unfold with our own eyes, the way it’s meant to be seen.
Just a few more weeks now. One last trip to Hawkins. One last time in the Upside Down.
The photo appears to show a plume of some kind of material on one side, along with emissions off the opposite side.
Cue Harvard scientist, Avi Loeb.. he believes these images of the mysterious interstellar object named 3I/ATLAS could be additional evidence of a type of jet engine or propulsion system on board an alien spacecraft. In recent weeks, the object has captivated scientists’ attentions and peoples’ imaginations on what exactly this thing moving through our solar system is.
And as new imagery has become available, Loeb continues to express concern that this object, which should near Earth in mid-December, may not be a comet but rather an alien spacecraft instead.
MORE..
In his blog on Medium, with new imagery in hand, Loeb writes, “The image shows two anti-tail jets out to 10 arcminutes towards the Sun accompanied by a longer collimated jet, extending away from the Sun out to an angular separation of 30 arcminutes, roughly the diameter of the Sun or the Moon. At the current distance of 3I/ATLAS from Earth, 326 million kilometers, these angular extents correspond to spatial sizes of 0.95 million kilometers for the sunward anti-tail jets and 2.85 million kilometers for the tail jet away from the Sun. This enormous spatial scale is three orders of magnitude larger than the scale of the glowing halo around 3I/ATLAS in the Hubble Space Telescope image from July 21, 2025.”..
One of the better movies this year in the horror world has been Weapons. We’ve talked about it a number of times and there has been some debate on whether it lived up to the hype or if expectations were just too high to begin with. But all that aside, the opening sequence of Weapons sticks in your head. Kids running through neighborhood streets, the suburban landscape turning ominous, the way the tension creeps up before you realize why you’re uncomfortable.
As a matter of fact, I was at a football game last week — one of the final ones of the season — and some of the students in front of me were laughing about how the players looked like the kids from Weapons and how it was the greatest movie they’ve ever seen. They’re young. They still have the entire library of 70s and 80s horror history to experience. So we forgive them for the cardinal sin for now.
But the movie was pretty good, and that opening scene was genuinely memorable. And one of the strongest reasons why the opening hits so hard is the song choice. The George Harrison track that plays over the scene isn’t just background noise — it sets the emotional temperature. It elevates it. It whispers something the dialogue doesn’t say.
And here’s the thing: there’s a lot going on behind that George Harrison song that most people don’t know.
Beware of Darkness – What the Song Is Actually Saying
George Harrison’s “Beware of Darkness” isn’t literally about “evil” or some boogeyman in the woods. He was drawing from Hindu and Eastern spirituality, particularly the concept of Māyā — the illusion of the material world that distracts the soul.
When Harrison sings:
“Beware of the Maya”
He doesn’t mean a person. He means the force that tricks you into forgetting who you really are.
The song is layered with meaning:
Beware of the world’s negativity. People will try to use you. Leaders will mislead. Culture will exhaust you.
Beware of your own sadness. Not in the sense of denying it — but in not letting it swallow you whole.
“It can hit you, it can hurt you Make you sore and what is more That is not what you are here for.”
You are not meant to live permanently in despair.
Beware of forgetting the spirit. Māyā — illusion — convinces us that status, approval, and fear are reality. Harrison’s message is simply:
Don’t lose your inner light. Don’t let the world make you forget yourself.
Movies know how to use music when they’re paying attention. Weapons did.
That song wasn’t just a soundtrack choice — it was the thesis. A warning delivered before the audience knows what’s about to happen.
And now, as we move deeper into the darker stretch of the year — colder mornings, longer nights, that creeping seasonal weight that settles in the chest — maybe the timing is fitting.
Maybe it’s a reminder:
Beware of the darkness. Beware of the sadness. Beware of the soft-shoe shufflers. And yes — beware of Māyā.
Because sometimes horror isn’t on the screen. Sometimes it’s just life trying to make you forget who you are.

Avi Loeb is back — at this point he’s basically our best friend in the UFO world. In his latest review of the 3I/ATLAS comet, he indicates that the newest photographs show evidence of thrusters. Yes, thrusters. And there are even claims that additional “ships” may have separated from a so-called “main mothership.”
On the surface, it all sounds like pure science fiction. Total fantasy. But here we are in 2025. We’ve all lived through enough strangeness to know that nothing is off the table anymore. And the thing about Loeb is — he actually backs this with data.
Loeb writes in his blog
“Given that a large number of jets appear in many directions, the reported non-gravitational acceleration of 3I/ATLAS requires much more than 10–20% of its initial mass to have been ejected near perihelion. Only a fraction of that mass carries an excess momentum in a preferred direction. This means that the cloud of debris around 3I/ATLAS must represent a substantial fraction of its initial mass for a natural comet. However, technological thrusters could give the object a boost with much less mass jetted out at a higher speed.”
He then asks the simple but massive question:
“Is the network of jets associated with pockets of ice on the surface of a natural cometary nucleus, or are they coming from a set of jet thrusters used for navigation of a spacecraft?”
And the answer Loeb gives?
“We do not know.”
3I/ATLAS is expected to make its closest approach to Earth on December 19, 2025.
Stacked telescope images reportedly show a “large glowing halo extending out to half a million kilometers” with at least seven distinct jet structures. That’s not typical comet behavior. That’s weird behavior. According to Loeb — Harvard astrophysicist, not random guy on Reddit — this thing is acting unlike anything we’ve documented before.
I’m not sure if the world is paying attention. We are. And a handful of scientists and space-watchers are. But this feels like a much bigger deal than it’s being treated as.
Even if 3I/ATLAS turns out to be a completely natural comet, the oddities alone suggest something rare — something we don’t commonly see in our solar system. That alone is exciting, possibly even paradigm-shifting.
But if Loeb is right… and if these jets are not natural outgassing… and if this object is maneuvering…
Well, then we’re looking at something even more profound.
A lot of people have laughed at Loeb over the past few years. Some still are. But the more images that come in, the less funny this comet looks. There’s something off about it. Something that doesn’t fit.
Imagine one day you go to the mailbox and there’s an envelope in there with no return address. Just your name. No explanation. Inside is an old VHS tape. No label. No handwriting. Nothing. Just a blank tape. So you dig out that old VCR from the closet or the basement, because of course you kept it, right? You pop the tape in, press play, and what comes on the screen is a dimly lit room with a group of people sitting around a table. Regular people. Nobody looks dramatic or haunted. They’re just… there. Talking to someone who isn’t visible. And then the table begins to move.
That idea sticks with me. Because the thing we’re talking about here is the Philip Experiment, and most of us only ever see fragments of it. Little clips that show up on YouTube or TikTok every so often. Grainy, eerie, just long enough to make you wonder if you’re seeing something you’re not supposed to see. The full uncut video isn’t floating around. It’s not archived publicly. Parts of it exist — but never the whole. Which adds to the legend, if you ask me.
Back in the early 1970s in Toronto, a group of people got together to see if they could create a ghost purely through imagination. They didn’t believe Philip was real historically. He wasn’t. They made him up. They gave him a life story, motivations, a tragic arc. They shaped him the way writers shape a character — except instead of writing a book, they sat around a table and tried to call him into existence.
This is where belief becomes interesting. Because these people weren’t actors, they weren’t psychics, and they weren’t trying to deceive anyone — including themselves. They knew Philip was fictional, and yet they set out to see whether their collective attention could make something happen.
And eventually, something did.
Knocking sounds. Rhythmic responses. The table moving. Slight at first, then more confidently. If you’ve ever sat around a Ouija board and felt that moment when the room shifts from joking to dead silent — you’ll understand the sensation. It’s not just about the movement. It’s the way the air changes. The moment your body reacts before your brain does.
I imagine that’s what happened in that Toronto room. Everyone knew Philip wasn’t real — until they felt something that made them question that certainty. And once one person believes, the belief becomes contagious. Group energy is real. Human minds sync. A spark in the room becomes a fire in the room, and suddenly everyone feels like something is there, whether they can define it or not.
Now, depending on what you believe, there are two paths this story can take.
Some say this was purely psychological. The human brain moving the table subconsciously. The ideomotor effect. A shared feedback loop of expectation and excitement.
Others say that when you call out to the void — something answers. But not always the thing you think you’re calling. And that it might have worn Philip’s face for the fun of it.
Either version is unsettling in its own way.
What stands out to me personally are those video clips. Watching the table move with no visible hands lifting it. Not proof — because the paranormal never seems to allow itself proof — but enough to make you sit still for a second. Enough to make you inhale differently. Enough to make you wonder if reality is a thinner membrane than we pretend it is.
Some of the people involved in the experiment did speak about it years later. None of them claimed it was hoaxed. None of them said they summoned an actual spirit either. What most of them said was something closer to this:
“We knew Philip wasn’t real. But the things that happened felt real.”
And that is the part that lingers.
Not the ghost. Not the séance. Not the story they invented.
But the moment where imagination and experience touch. Where the room feels different. Where the mind opens a door it didn’t know it could open.
And once a door is opened — even for a moment — who’s to say it ever really closes?
So here’s my question.
If you tried to recreate the Philip Experiment today — would you be daring enough to go through with it? And if you did, what would you name the entity you were trying to call into existence? Would you choose a new name? Or would you try Philip again?
And what if — just what if — when they created Philip all those years ago, they didn’t create something pretend… but they connected to something that has been drifting ever since. Not gone. Not dead. Just waiting in the quiet spaces between worlds to be acknowledged again.
“Obviously, you understand I can’t get into personal on-set matters, but I will say we’ve been doing this for 10 years with this cast, and at this point they’re family and we deeply care about them. So, you know, nothing matters more than just having a set where everyone feels safe and happy,” Ross Duffer told The Hollywood Reporter on the red carpet at the Stranger Things premiere…
When you consider all things, the damage control is going pretty decently.. most media has already enriched themselves in product placements .. corporations own the media.. it’s all going according to plan..
Avi Loeb and others are stating it is due to the fact that Atlas is an alien craft..
Well maybe it is.
But for now the official story continues to be the shut down..
“NASA is a part of the federal government, which is currently shut down. Communications that do not pertain to the safety of property or life are not excepted,” read a statement sent to LADbible from the agency.
“Imagery will be released once the government reopens.”
Hopefully, that will be before the comet passes the sun and heads back out into space.
So it would be assumed we WILL see Atlas at some point. Maybe edited? Then again.. the editors may be laid off right now, too..
AND JUST WHEN WE THOUGHT WE ONLY HAD ONE!
NASA QUIETLY LOGS ANOTHER INTERSTELLAR VISITOR
Comet C/2025 V1 just appeared in NASA’s official JPL database — and it’s NOT from our solar system.
Discovered Oct 29… nearly 100 confirmed observations already… and its orbit is hyperbolic — meaning it’s just passing through.
Here’s the wild part — it’s NOT connected to 3I/ATLAS, the other interstellar object now in motion.
That makes TWO unbound travelers moving through our neighborhood at the same time.
