    Everyone has welcomed the “Karen” term with open arms.

    Much to the chagrin, perhaps, of real Karens out there! Just in time for Halloween, the Karen mask debuts! Artist Jason Adcock is responsible for the viral design. Actually two version:

    There are plenty of other amazing works of art on his Instagram page that you should take a look at.. But Karen seems to be the most relevant, and realistic, at this time.

    From jokes come truth..

    HALLOWEEN producer Jason Blum that he doesn’t want to stop at just one sequel and hopes the film’s success could inspire 10 more sequels.

    Some may hope for the Shape to continue.. which if so would make him clear in his 70s when Blum finally concludes his wish of another decade of Halloweens..

    After the Salem Witch Trials, There Was the New England Vampire Panic

    After the Salem Witch Trials, There Was the New England Vampire Panic:

    On March 17, 1892, a group of local men dug up the three deceased members of the Brown family in search of a sign that one of them was rising from the grave at night to suck the energy from the living. After nearly 10 years, Mary Olive and Mary Eliza were almost entirely decomposed. But Mercy, buried only a few months previous in the cold New England weather, was almost perfectly preserved. The vampire hunters of Exeter had found their target.

    “When a ghost shows up in a story, it is often a way to talk about what cannot be said, what cannot…”

    “When a ghost shows up in a story, it is often a way to talk about what cannot be said, what cannot be acknowledged — whether that is a repressed desire, a family secret, an unpunished crime or a genocide that some do not want to reckon with.”

  • Oak Park, Michigan BANS CLOWNS!

    Oak Park, Michigan BANS CLOWNS!

    City officials have banned clown costumes because they are too scary..

    According to the city’s event page, a free Halloween party bash will feature fun activities and snacks like cider and donuts

    BUT NO CLOWNS… 

    Recreation Director Laurie Stasiak revealed that the reason they’ve banned clowns costumes is that they’re just too frightening for some children.

    why? …they say they are just too scary.

    Laurie Stasiak said in an email to the newspaper.  “In the past few years many clown costumes have been given a very scary and evil look.  Many scary and horror movies are centered around these types of characters.  About 3 years [ago] there were national incidents in the news were people were dressing up as clowns and scaring people and in some cases assaulting them.  Many people have phobias and anxiety about clowns.  It’s because of this that we asked people not to dress up as clowns for this community event
