ALL THE SCENES WILL BE FILMED IN NEW MEXICO & SOME OTHER SECRET LOCATIONS..
Developing..
On Twitter, Netflix unveiled photos and character details about eight new characters joining Stranger Things in season 4.
Robert Englund plays Victor Creel, “a disturbed and intimidating man who is imprisoned in a psychiatric hospital for a gruesome murder in the 1950s.”
Eduardo Franco plays Argyle, a new friend of Jonathan’s (Charlie Heaton). He’s “a fun-loving stoner who proudly delivers delicious pizza pies for Surfer Boy Pizza.”

Meanwhile, in celebration of this amazing and cool news about Robert Englund, Freddy himself went on social media and turned his frown upside down.
The Adkins family said in a statement to The Associated Press on Monday that “it is out of sincere love that we share Sinbad, our beloved husband and father, is recovering from a recent stroke.”
“Sinbad is a light source of love and joy for many generations. While he is beginning his road to recovery, we are faithful and optimistic that he will bring laughter into our hearts soon,” the statement continued.
A new trailer revealed:
At one point in the trailer, a character says “It’s dangerous being a prophet during times of upheaval.” That’s a direct reference to Whoopi Goldberg’s character, Mother Abagail Freemantle, who though over 100 years old in the novel has been anointed by God to lead good people out of superflu devastated America to the city of Boulder, Colorado.
The trailer focuses closely on Mother Abagail and her evil opposite, the Dark Man, Randall Flagg—played by Alexander Skarsgård. In the novel, they encounter each other in dreams and visions and Flagg grows frustrated because he can’t use his possibly demonic powers to affect her.
Stephen King has written an all-new epilogue for the series as well. It premieres on Thursday, Dec. 17, and will stream exclusively on CBS All Access.
Is it now over? How President Trump finally conceded the election to Joe Biden?
He did it the Trump way before undid it:
Trump went on to Tweet:
All of the mechanical “glitches” that took place on Election Night were really THEM getting caught trying to steal votes. They succeeded plenty, however, without getting caught. Mail-in elections are a sick joke!
Minutes later, as “He won” began trending on social media, President Trump renewed his previous “we will win” comment ..
And showing that the Commander in Chief carefully watches the trending button on his Twitter feed, he said this:
And now begins potentially the earliest campaign cycle in history. With the lead Republican candidate, if he declares, Donald Trump. With rallies for the next 1,460 days until November ’24
This website has been around in some form or another since the year 2000.. I can recall covering horror news of the early 21st century during the wild west days of the internet. Back then, anything was possible. And fun! There was no social media to come and ruin a good time. Instead websites offered mysteries, oddities, awful designs, and personal touches from the owners who created them.
We devolve sometimes here into needless nostalgia. Perhaps today was one of those days.. But it happens during long cold walks in lonely parks with trees adorned with papers reminding people to wear masks.
Quite the scary concept.. Why not drop it in a year like 2020 when all things scary seem to reign supreme, right?
Stories like this appearing in Bloomberg News, an article stating that the biggest effect of the COVID-19 pandemic will be social unrest and societal upheaval. We are seeing it in European countries where governments have decided to phase in to lockdown part 2, while in the United States governors are treading waters carefully due to pandemic malaise.. President-Elect Joe Biden may face a weighty choice as the death tolls mounts by the time he is sworn into office. If Donald Trump ever leaves.. 🙂
So just picture the rebellion that would occur if we found out the world was potentially going to meet a costly fate in 2068. A doomsday date to remember.
2068 SEEMS far away, right?
So did 2020 back in the year 2000 when I first FTP’ed up the Horror Report onto the World Wide Web.
Presumably if Apophis does hit, and I live to a ripe old age of 88, I will see calamity befall our home planet. My son would have a better shot at seeing at when he is 57 that year..
It’s funny to consider.. I did some research tonight because I knew that I spread content many years ago about Apophis when it was first discovered. I hit the jackpot on the Wayback machine from the year 2005.
The Horror Report reported this on on February 15, 2005: A giant asteroid the size of three football pitches will make the closest flyby of Earth in recorded history for an object of its size, scientists said yesterday.
Of course the same day we said,
“There’s a concrete dildo floating around out there somewhere: Ouch: Vandals attack nude statue and chisel off penis…“
That same year, Apophis had yet to get its cool name. It was just called 2004 MN4 when Space.com reported that the flyback of the massive asteroid would be visible to the naked eye across the planet:
Space.com pointed out that the asteroid will be 22,600 miles from Earth’s center when it flies by on April 13, 2029.
Oh.. that is a Friday by the way, so appropriate.
The 2036 flyby was also feared by many.. Early reports indicated that this would be the date of the collision with the planet. In 2013 those reported were discounted.
WHEW, space journals wrote then..
But now new information about this rock is becoming known, and with it the renewed sense of potential danger.
Although the probability of an impact from asteroid Apophis for 2029 and 2036 has been ruled out, the new findings suggest that there might be a very small chance of impact in April 2068. Previous calculations made in 2016 had all but ruled out the probability of an impact on 2068. The chance of an impact was seen in 2016 as vanishingly small, at just 1 in 150,000 odds of impact, or a 99.99933% chance the asteroid would miss the Earth. The new findings might slightly change these numbers again, as new calculations are made using both the recent data and new observations that will be made very soon.
So rest easy tonight. This is not the night of the mighty Apophis — we have more Earthly things to worry about with a virus raging and political distractions causing immense and true division.
But be warned.. a giant killer stalks. It may pass by through our friendly skies safely in 2068 and all of these predictions will be naught.
Or we will look back at 2020 and relish in the thought of just how great it was after all.
Let’s be honest, this year has been bleak for many restarants.
Yes, there are some shining examples of how take out only can work, but other major chains and small restaurants are feeling the burn of COVID.. The early spring and summer lockdowns throughout the United States did not do the industry favors.. And when dining finally was allowed throughout parts of the nation, few places were able to boast of a thriving night life.
And now with the media and politicians warn of what most have suddenly deemed a “dark winter,” dining is slowing again to a crawl..
One of the biggest attractions that many fair weathered states had was the luck of the sun. OUTSIDE DINING.. places soaked up the ability to lessen its dim fate with tables on sidewalks and closed down streets… Inside was limited, but the air outside led to some cities coming up with unique abilities to close down alleyways and less busy roadways for table side service in the open air.
But even with those few months of profit, the restaurant industry lost $120 bil by the middle of summer.
Industry publican QSR Magazine reporting this in June,
The National Restaurant Association released new data outlining the grim COVID-19 impact so far. The Association said restaurants lost $40 billion in May, bringing the three-month total to $120 billion after March dropped $30 billion in an abbreviated window and April sank $50 billion as stay-at-home policies covered the entire month. Overall, restaurants are expected to lose some $240 billion by year’s end.
As the summer ended and fall began, the pandemic showed signs up picking up in intensity.
2020 was predicted to be a year of growth. As a matter of fact, many worried that a lack of workers would have been the major crisis.
Instead 15% of the nation’s establisments closed, never to open again.
The bright side: FAST FOOD was alive and well nationwide, dishing out sodium and fats.
CNBC went on to report some more numbers showing strange success stories and disparities:
Domino’s Pizza and Papa John’s are among the most obvious winners, as consumers quickly transitioned to order their pizzas for delivery during lockdowns. But burger chains like McDonald’s and Wendy’s, which saw sales take deeper dives in March and April, also reported relatively speedy rebounds to their U.S. businesses. The disparity between the fast-food sector and full-service restaurants is also reflected in restaurant stocks. Shares of Olive Garden parent Darden Restaurants have fallen about 8% this year, while Dine Brands, owner of IHOP and Applebee’s, has seen its stock tumble 32%. On the flip side, McDonald’s stock is up 11% and Wendy’s shares are flat in 2020. Shares of fast-casual chain Chipotle Mexican Grill have gained more than 50% year to date, adding more than $11 billion to the company’s market value. Jim Stevens, president of the Golden Chick restaurant chain, said the company saw its sales dive 15% at its more than 190 locations in Texas, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Florida during the five weeks after stay-at-home orders were put in place. But the fried chicken chain’s second-quarter same-store sales rose 21%, and its third quarter is on track for a 26% increase. Drive-thru sales account for about 85% of its business now, compared with about two-thirds before.
We are going to get very weary of this dreadful “dark winter” phrase.. President-Elect Biden and VP-Elect Harris have said it. He recently changed his language to say a “very dark winter.”
Media figures have paraded it on newscasts.. and medical experts have warned of us it..
This was that game trailer:https://www.youtube.com/embed/Fgvo-9pJ1EU?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&autohide=2&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent
Back in June 2001, prior to the 9/11 attacks, policymakers and US officials gathered at Andrews Air Force base to simulate “dark winter.” Dark Winter and Atlantic Storm were both aligned in predicting the release of a biological pathogen during a massive winter storm. The pathogen was spread on Black Friday during a major winter storm on the Atlantic Coast…
But with COVID-19, chances are your local mall will be shuddered and shopping will have ceased…
November 13, another Friday, charts out where we are now so many months later:
Daily tests have increased all year, but daily cases have come in waves.. This looks to be a third wave that does not seem to be relenting.. Hospital rates were back twice this year.. now they appear to be raging.. and while deaths were down for most of the summer and early fall, things seem to be rebounding into negative territory..
Cold weather approaches..
Dining outside will be a thing of memory..
This meme is making rounds on social media:
A post tonight said,
Is it just West Philly or is this the slowest Friday ever?
What followed were tons of comments, still being written, from around the United States..
Comments like these from people throughout the United States on Friday the 13th, November 2020, during the pandemic:

The Washington POST just published a very interesting news article which asserts that Donald Trump would have the ability and power to release any secrets he wants to after he’s not an office anymore. He would not be governed by the classified rules that for bid him from talking now.
They state that because he’s in debt, and bitter over his loss to Joe Biden, he may just do that.
It brought to mind a story that ran a few weeks ago which stated that Donald Trump could possibly be the president to reveal UFO secrets, although the Washington POST article did not reference any extra terrestrial life becoming known to the public
But what if?
What if this president was the one to do it, being that is coming from him, 76 million Americans would say it’s fake and 71 million would suddenly get ready to be beamed up and anally probed.
There is no concrete evidence that Donald Trump will do any of this, but journalists have taken two more speculative reporting over the past four years as opposed to factual bits of information being relayed..
Screenshots for posterity:
Some good news from Netflix this morning as they teased a little short photo promo for “Umbrella Academy“ season 3.
In a year of bad news, we have been treated to two pieces of good news. First the second season of this great show premiered in July and now as the year closes, we’re being told of the next one coming.
Astronomers say they’ll have to keep an eye on the near-Earth asteroid Apophis to see how much of a danger the space rock poses to our planet during a close pass in 2068. But don’t panic: The chances of an impact still seem very low.
Under certain circumstances, the sun can heat an asteroid unevenly, causing the space rock to radiate away heat energy asymmetrically. The result can be a tiny push in a certain direction — an effect called Yarkovsky acceleration, which can change the path of an asteroid through space.
