  • If a fake tree moves towards you in your front yard and no one’s there to see it does it even move it all?

    If a fake tree moves towards you in your front yard and no one’s there to see it does it even move it all?

    There’s a really fun thing happening on TikTok right now. It’s not hurting anyone, it’s not dangerous… but it’s causing just enough debate to make it interesting. And honestly, if it’s just for entertainment, that’s all we need.


    For the past few days, there’s been a guy posting videos claiming that a tree in his backyard is… moving.

    His “evidence” is simple but effective. He records himself walking toward the tree, then compares it to footage from the next day where the tree appears to be slightly closer. Not dramatically… just enough to make you pause. Just enough to make you wonder.
    But he doesn’t stop there.


    He claims he’s watched the tree for hours and hasn’t seen a single bird land on it. Says it looks fake. Says when you check his property on satellite view, the tree doesn’t even show up. And maybe the creepiest part… he says the tree next to it has been there his entire life, but this one? He doesn’t remember it at all.
    Listen… this is fun.


    What makes it even better is the comment section. There are people fully buying into it. Not questioning it. Not debating it. Just accepting it like, “Yeah… that tracks.”


    And that’s where it gets wild.


    It’s not even about whether the tree is moving anymore. It’s about how quickly people are willing to go along with something like this. Almost like it’s easier to believe in a slowly advancing tree than to question it. Maybe because, in a weird way, it feels harmless. Maybe even comforting compared to everything else going on.
    Now do I believe the tree is moving toward his house?
    No.


    Do I believe he might believe it?


    That’s a different question.


    Because at the end of the day, there’s no real way for us to independently verify any of this. And as the videos get more attention, one thing is definitely true… whether he expected it or not, he’s gone viral.


    And honestly… let’s just say it.


    If there really was a tree slowly moving toward someone’s house in 2026… would that even be the most shocking thing we’ve seen this year?


    To be honest… it might be the least surprising.

  • Why the sad face when we’re going to get a clay face

    Why the sad face when we’re going to get a clay face

    The excitement is real right now. A brand new trailer dropped today for Clayface, and it’s got people talking in a big way.

    This isn’t your typical DC rollout either. The film is directed by James Watkins and stars Tom Rhys Harries as Matt Hagen, a disfigured actor who undergoes a transformation that turns him into something far more terrifying than anyone expected. The budget is reportedly around $40 million, which is actually pretty modest by superhero standards… but in a weird way, that almost adds to the intrigue. This feels less like a blockbuster and more like a calculated risk. A horror-driven swing inside the DC universe.
    And you can feel that immediately in the trailer.


    What we’re seeing is full-on body horror. Clayface appears with what looks like bandages wrapping around his face like a mummy, cutting between strange flashbacks and moments that feel completely ungrounded. Then there’s that final shot… his face looks human for a split second before he swipes it downward like a glitchy computer program and it just dissolves into nothing. It’s unsettling in a way that DC hasn’t really leaned into before. This isn’t just dark… it’s uncomfortable.


    What makes this even more interesting is that it doesn’t appear to be directly tied to Batman. From everything out there right now, Batman isn’t expected to actually show up. That said, this is still Gotham, and you can almost guarantee the presence will be felt through references, atmosphere, and the world itself. Honestly, that might be the smarter move. Let Clayface stand on his own and let the horror breathe.


    And speaking of that… the timing couldn’t be better. An October release puts this right in the heart of Halloween season, and if DC plays this right with a steady rollout of trailers throughout the year, the hype could build in a very real way. This has the chance to pull in not just comic fans, but horror fans too… and that’s a lane DC hasn’t fully owned yet.


    I’ll be honest, though… part of my excitement comes from something a little more personal. I’ve always liked Clayface. Going back to playing as him in Lego Batman: The Videogame on the Wii and Wii U, he was this big, goofy, fun character. Not the main villain, not the most popular… but memorable. And now seeing that same character turned into something this disturbing and serious… it’s kind of wild in the best way. It taps into that nostalgia but flips it on its head.


    The movie looks great. It looks scary. And yeah… that $40 million budget might be a little scary too when you start thinking about box office expectations. It’s way too early to know how this thing is going to perform, but if the tone lands and the marketing keeps building like this, don’t be surprised if this ends up being one of the more talked-about DC releases in a long time.


    This might be the one that quietly changes everything.

  • David Wilcock dead in Colorado

    David Wilcock dead in Colorado

    A death investigation out of Boulder County is beginning to ripple through paranormal and conspiracy communities, and the name now being attached to it is one that many will immediately recognize.


    It’s being reported that the individual involved is David Wilcock… a longtime figure in ufology and alternative research circles who, for years, carved out a unique and sometimes controversial presence in the space.


    Wilcock wasn’t your traditional boots-on-the-ground investigator. He was something different… a researcher, a speaker, a filmmaker, and a New York Times bestselling author known for The Source Field Investigations. He reached a wide audience through appearances on Coast to Coast AM and recurring segments on Ancient Aliens, and later co-hosted Cosmic Disclosure on Gaia. He was controversial even among thr fringe of the conspiracy circles..


    His ideas pushed boundaries, sometimes far beyond what even seasoned followers were comfortable with. Claims of telepathic extraterrestrial contact, discussions of hidden technologies, and even suggestions that he was the reincarnation of Edgar Cayce placed him firmly in a category that drew both devoted followers and sharp critics.


    At one point, he was also tied to Stavatti Aerospace, serving in a role that connected him to discussions of advanced propulsion systems, next-generation aircraft, and experimental aerospace concepts… the kind of topics that blur the line between speculation and possibility.
    And now, with reports pointing toward suicide, the reaction has been immediate and divided.
    Some of his supporters are already questioning the official narrative… which, given his history and the nature of the subjects he explored, isn’t entirely surprising. In these communities, skepticism runs deep, and when someone so closely tied to controversial ideas dies suddenly, speculation tends to follow.


    But there’s another side to this that can’t be ignored.


    Suicide is complicated. It’s unpredictable. And it’s often invisible until it isn’t. No matter how public someone’s life may seem… no matter how confident, outspoken, or even polarizing they are… what’s happening beneath the surface is something very few people ever truly see.
    Right now, this is still an active situation with limited confirmed details. And while theories will inevitably circulate, the reality is that a life has been lost… and that alone deserves a moment of pause.


    For those who followed his work, whether you believed it, questioned it, or fell somewhere in between… this is one of those moments where the noise fades a bit, and what’s left is something much more human.


    We’ll continue to follow this story as more information becomes available.

  • Fans continue living in a world without Clyde Lewis

    Fans continue living in a world without Clyde Lewis

    An update was recently shared regarding Clyde Lewis, and while there are some encouraging signs, the overall situation remains uncertain. He is still in a nursing facility with no confirmed timeline for release. On the positive side, he’s making progress in physical therapy—losing weight, rebuilding strength, and gradually improving his stamina.


    There are still a number of medical hurdles ahead. He’ll need significant dental work in the coming months, and his kidney function continues to be monitored closely. He is still using a catheter, with doctors and a urologist evaluating when it can safely be removed. Whenever he is cleared to leave, plans are already in place for him to move into a better living situation.

  • We watched Hive on Tubi so you don’t have to

    We watched Hive on Tubi so you don’t have to

    We watched Hive so you don’t have to.
    It’s a Hive original… and boy, is it original.


    Here’s a couple of spoilers, so be careful if you actually want to check out this seemingly low-budget horror oddity.

    Hive a brand new horror-thriller starring Xochitl Gomez as Sasha, a teen babysitter who loses her charge at an idyllic playground. She must navigate a sinister, deceptive world as she confronts an insectoid entity controlling the children and snatching parents, forcing her to fight to escape a soul-crushing hivemind.

    Hive became available to stream on Tubi April 17, 2026. Xochitl Gomez, Aaron Dominguez, and Tanya van Graan star in this horror filled film that is Directed/Written Felipe Vargas.


    At its core, there’s a hive mind made up of rich, affluent kids living in a rich, affluent neighborhood. There’s definitely a cultural message here about how the wealthy may inflict pain on the working class or minorities. Mix that in with squishy, unsettling blood-and-guts moments and a few strange, graphic scenes of people meeting their demise—yes, including playground equipment—and you’ll start to get the picture.


    Listen… we’re not recommending this one, but we’re also not telling you not to watch it.


    Just don’t watch it alone expecting a good time. This is more of a group movie, where half the room is saying, “That was actually kind of a good idea,” and the other half is begging, “Please turn off this nonsense.”

    Seriously, the trailer was good. The bad is the trailer is showing you some of the best material in the movie!


    It’s a low-budget film for a low-budget night.
    But you know what? The acting wasn’t horrible. The plotline wasn’t terrible either—more like a goofy version of the hive mind from Stranger Things. The commitment was there. The cast seemed genuinely inspired to lean into their roles, and that counts for something.


    Still, despite that effort, we’re left with a “hive mind” concept that ends up being more boring than scary.
    2.9 out of 5.


    A bit weak on the dialogue… but kudos for the acting and the creative thought.

  • Art the Clown falls in love

    Art the Clown falls in love

    Sometimes horror gives us nightmares… and sometimes it gives us moments like this.
    David Howard Thornton—the man behind Art the Clown—just pulled off one of the most bizarre and oddly heartwarming proposals you’ll ever see. While fully in character as the silent, sadistic clown, he got down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend, Jada Christie… and she said yes.
    Yeah… let that sink in for a second.


    There’s something strangely perfect about it. A character known for pure chaos, brutality, and nightmare fuel somehow being part of a real-life moment built on love, commitment, and—believe it or not—joy. It’s the kind of contrast that horror fans live for. Dark meets light. Fear meets happiness.


    Fans of Art the Clown know that David Howard Thornton brings a physicality and personality to the role that makes it unforgettable, even without saying a single word. So of course, if he’s going to propose, it’s not going to be ordinary. It’s going to be theatrical… unsettling… and somehow still incredibly genuine.


    Jada Christie clearly understood the assignment.
    It’s also very understandable if you would have said no!

  • Tick talk

    Tick talk

    For those in tick-prone areas of the United States, people are reporting that something big has changed … more ticks than normal. Reports of ‘boxes of ticks’ being dropped off on farms.. Dogs and people covered from knees down with dozens just from a quick walk in grass..

    Numbers now prove that something may be very different this year..

    Tick bites are sending Americans to the emergency room at the highest rate in nearly a decade, according to new CDC data.

    During the second week of April, 71 out of every 100,000 emergency room visits were for tick bites — more than double the usual average of about 30 per 100,000, said the agency, which said this year’s numbers match data from 2017.

    Oh … and on those boxes of tickets?

    A once-rare allergy that can cause severe reactions hours after eating red meat is dramatically rising across the United States, according to preliminary findings by researchers at VCU Health and Virginia Commonwealth University. 

    The condition, known as alpha-gal syndrome (AGS), is typically linked to bites from the lone star tick and is increasingly recognized as a growing health concern in many regions of the country. Different types of ticks cause the syndrome in other parts of the world. 

    The findings, presented last year at the American College of Gastroenterology’s 2025 annual scientific meeting in Phoenix, Arizona, show a 100-fold increase in positive test results for alpha-gal antibodies between 2013 and 2024. While these results are preliminary, the study represents one of the largest real-world analyses of AGS to date. 

    Keep on scratchin’…
