    Upcoming fear porn for 2019 being revealed: Eclipses, and blood moons abound

    2019 is featuring five eclipses, a rare planet transit, one of the best meteor showers and a super blood wolf moon..

    The new year will also bring three supermoons, a blue moon, multiple meteor showers, close approach by the moon and Jupiter and several rocket launches..

    MORE..

    For the first time in three years on January 21, the United States will be able to experience a total lunar eclipse. According to NASA, it will be one of the sky’s “most dazzling shows,” as the moon will be at its closest point to Earth, making the moon appear slightly bigger and a lot brighter, an event that is often referred to as a “supermoon.”

    In the late afternoon of July 2, a total solar eclipse will occur over southern parts of Chile and Argentina, and parts of the South Pacific. The entire event will take place from 12:55 to 5:50 p.m. ET, with the maximum eclipse occurring at 3:23 p.m.
    The year will also end with a dark bang:
    December 26: The annular eclipse occurs when the circumference of the sun shines brightly from behind the moon. This year, the eclipse will begin right at dawn and pass over the Arabian Peninsula and arc over areas of South Asia.
    All this, and undoubtedly some more potentially hazardous asteroid fly-bys from rocks we didn’t see yet will create the ambiance necessary for another year of total fear porn. 
    Enjoy the remaining moments of 18 .. as 19 creeps in and we wonder where the past 20 years have gone since the 20th century..

  • BLUE YORK CITY!

    BLUE YORK CITY!

    A faulty piece of equipment charged with 138,000 volts of electricity erupted into an “electrical arc flash” that cast an eerie blue glow over the skies of New York, Con Edison officials said Friday morning.

    The rare phenomenon blew up at the Astoria East Substation on 20th Avenue and 32nd Street around 9:10 p.m. and could be seen across Queens, Manhattan and Brooklyn.

    Immediately the internet erupted in a string of Tweets and Facebook messages of ‘aliens landing’ and ‘the end of the world is here!’

    Video from the event looked frightening.. it started people on highways, bridges, and public transit.. some people had a tinge of fear in their voice as to why their dark city nights suddenly erupted in to day-time-like blue auras..

    “It’s like a thunder-and-lightning event,” explained Con Ed spokesman Bob McGee. “The loud bangs people heard were likely related to the arc striking the ground grid on the substation from a piece equipment that’s 20 feet up in the air and carrying 138,000 volts.”

    Many residents who were home at the time experienced flickering lights.

    Despite earlier reports, McGee said there was no actual fire at the substation.

    “The illumination was caused just by the arc flash. Once the electrical source removed, the arc flash subsided,” he said.

    Con Ed officials are now investigating the incident and whether the flash of light was extinguished because the machinery automatically switched off or because it was burned through.

    The SINBAD effect

    This news today: Entertainment Weekly has unveiled a first look at Will Smith in costume as the Genie in Disney’s live-action “Aladdin” movie, and not everyone is thrilled with it. Why would they be!? We live in the Twitterverse of judgement world….

    Smith stars in director Guy Ritchie’s update of the animated classic, alongside Mena Massoud as Aladdin and Naomi Scott as Princess Jasmine. People have lampooned the imagery in EW since the release..

    TWITTER has issued its typical backlash.. no surprise there at all….

    Except one thing.. one little thing that caught my eye on a Facebook page I follow. The comment was made by so many Twitter commentators today: “Sinbad never looked better.”

    Now… that Sinbad comment sure is strange, considering that interesting “Mandela Effect” that I have written about previously here.

    A few years ago, we talked extensively about the Sinbad movie that never existed.. I wrote then:

    This is the latest ‘glitch in the matrix’ that even got me.
    I recall this myself. I remember him in the outfit. I don’t quite remember the name of the film as some others do, but I am very clear on my memory of him being in an awful un-funny movie when I was younger.

    All of this is fodder for crowds of people who have a new-found appreciation of the Mandela Effect. Every day.

    For those yet unaware, or those who do not quite know the label to call their strange memory lapses or sudden shocks to learn that reality is different from what they thought, it is called the Mandela Effect. There are people–and lots of them including Stafire Tor on an old Art Bell show that somewhat started all of this–that believed Nelson Mandela died in prison in the 1980s. They recall his funeral. They remember the news headlines and nightly news reporting. And they were shocked that he rose to the presidency of South Africa in the 90s. Because, to them, he was long dead.

    Thanks to the new Will Smith movie, this glitch is back in full force, making a joke that Smith looks just like Sinbad looked in the Shazaam movie…

    As a matter of fact, people are actually sharing a FAKE photo of Sinbad as “SHAZAAM” in their mockery of the Will Smith movie, not even realizing that SHAZAAM never even existed!!

  • Tennessee shaking: 4.4 quake

    Tennessee shaking: 4.4 quake

    The U.S. Geological Survey says a magnitude 4.4 earthquake struck eastern Tennessee and could be felt in Atlanta.

    The light earthquake occurred Wednesday around 4:14 a.m. about 7 miles (11 kilometers) northeast of Decatur. About 13 minutes later, a 3.3 magnitude aftershock then struck.

    There are no reports of injuries. But lots of rattled nerves.

    Maybe MORE nerves will be rattled when contemplating this: The quake appeared to occur along the Eastern Tennessee Seismic Zone, a southwest-to-northeast belt extending from Alabama to far southwest Virginia that is the second-most active quake zone in the central and eastern U.S. behind the more notorious New Madrid zone.

  • The Krampus Carol by Anthony Bourdain

    The Krampus Carol by Anthony Bourdain

    [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9p1JYvV178E]

    The HORROR REPORT has always loved Krampus. But not enough to wish to see him instead of Santa..

    In this quick holiday story, written by Anthony Bourdain before his untimely death earlier this year, North America is given a brief, dark, humorous peek into the mythos surrounding Krampus, a goat-demon who comes during the Christmas holidays to punish children who misbehaved over the last year. A good pal of Santa Claus, Krampus, and the dread he has instilled in rotten kids for generations, most likely pre-dates Christianity.

    This short story is to the point on the Krampus story, more so than American adaptations.. 
    From my 7-year-old who watched: “Great, thanks for the nightmares Dad.”
  • STRANGER BARKS: The CIA made remote controlled dogs during MKUltra

    STRANGER BARKS: The CIA made remote controlled dogs during MKUltra

    This information being reported by NEWSWEEK after John Greenewald of the BLACK VAULT got secret documents after a FOIA request was answered..

    From the article: 

    Newly released files from “behavior modification,” or mind control, projects conducted as part of the infamous Project MKUltra reveal the CIA experimented in more than controlling humans with psychotropic drugs, electrical shocks and radio waves—they also created field operational, remote-controlled dogs.
    The documents were provided under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) by John Greenewald, founder of The Black Vault, a site specializing in declassified government records. In one declassified letter (released as file C00021825) a redacted individual writes to a doctor (whose name has also been redacted) with advice about launching a laboratory for experiments in animal mind control. The writer of the letter is already an expert in the field, whose earlier work had culminated with the creation of six remote control dogs, which could be made to run, turn and stop.

    Wind breaks on Mars! And we can hear it

    [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZK5bOZx2xXs]

    It may be best heard with headphones..

    The video was shared by NASA and, according to the space agency, captures the sound of a northwest Martian wind blowing at 10 to 15 mph..

    “Capturing this audio was an unplanned treat,” said Bruce Banerdt, InSight principal investigator at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in a statement. “But one of the things our mission is dedicated to is measuring motion on Mars, and naturally that includes motion caused by sound waves.”

    NASA explained that the audio is wind vibrations picked up by two sensors on the lander and not an actual recording from a microphone. However, the Mars rover that will be launched in 2020 will have microphones aboard.

  • FORTNITE CONDITION! KIDS GOING TO REHAB OVER VIDEO GAME!

    FORTNITE CONDITION! KIDS GOING TO REHAB OVER VIDEO GAME!

    Parents who feel they're fighting a losing battle against Fortnite are turning to addiction treatment programs.

    This is a cautionary note to parents prior to Christmas.. Video game platforms have a game called FORTNITE. It’s free! Yours to have! But it may cost a childhood, according to some alarmists that are portraying the game as something more addictive than even heroin!

    MORE from Bloomberg’s Jef Feeley and Christopher Palmeri

    Debbie Vitany is fighting a losing battle against Fortnite.
    Her 17-year-old son, Carson, has been logging 12 hours a day on the video game, searching for weapons and resources in a post-apocalyptic world where the goal is being the last person standing. Teachers complain he falls asleep in class and his grades have plummeted.
    “We’d made some progress in getting him to cut down his Fortnite hours and get better sleep, but he’s slipped back into his old habits,” Vitany, who lives near Saginaw, Michigan, said in an interview. “I’ve never seen a game that has such control over kids’ minds.
    Vitany’s anguish is echoed by an army of other parents, teachers and bosses around the world grappling with a game that sucks up hours of players’ time — sometimes to the detriment of other activities. More than 200 million people have registered to play Fortnite, which has become a billion-dollar business for its creator, Epic Games Inc. Some desperate parents have sent their kids to rehab.
    “This game is like heroin,” said Lorrine Marer, a British behavioral specialist who works with kids battling game addiction. “Once you are hooked, it’s hard to get unhooked.”

    Luckily for the HORROR REPORT, the little HORROR REPORTER is just addicted to the FORTNITE dances. He doesn’t like the game much.. and when he plays gets more annoyed than involved.
    SO FAR..
    But addiction can creep up on you.. I know firsthand. I still sneak in very late night battles in the original PLANTS VS ZOMBIES GARDEN WARFARE from 2014 …. old addictions never die.
