John Catapanpo Speaks Out About His Investigation With Ed And Lorraine Warren

Let’s be honest, everyone has heard the names Ed and Lorraine Warren, two of the most famous paranormal investigators to ever walk the earth. They are also the couple who have been the subject of The Conjuring franchise. But here’s something you may not know, on almost every single case they investigated they had assistants and techs to help them do their job, but we rarely hear from them. Last year I sat down with former journalist, professor, and entertainment engineer John Catapano for an interview, the first time he’s ever spoken out in detail about what he witnessed while investigating a particular house and family while working with the Warrens. While John was a student at William Paterson he had an invitation to assist the Warrens on the investigation, but instead, the couple left him to do much of the investigation on his own while they were busy with another case. While the names of the family and their

Watch The Preview Of Rick Grimes’ Final Episode

Eight years ago we were introduced to Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), now we’re going to have to say goodbye on Sunday, November 4th. For months “TWD” has teased the death of the series’ main character. This past Sunday we saw Rick thrown from a horse and shishkabobed on a piece of rebar. The episode ended in a cliffhanger as Rick lay on a slab of concrete as two hordes of walkers approached from two directions. The new promo for “What Comes After”, the next episode, is here for the episode which will be Andrew Lincoln’s last. In the video we see Rick wounded and flashes of him on the horse struggling to find help, hallucinating, and Rick in a bed, possibly the very one he woke up in when we were introduced to him in the series premiere. During the video we also see Rick having a series of flashbacks that will include cameos by Shane and Hershel. While it’s

In a gritty homage to perennial Alfred Hitchcock favorite Rear Window, the film “focuses on the residents of a block of apartments in the down-and-out Cape Flats neighborhood–which, with its petty thugs, crooked cops, violent loan sharks, and troubled pastors, soon reveals itself to be a very different place from Rear Window’s Greenwich Village of 1954.” Irshaad Ally, Monique Rockman, Ephraim Gordon, Sandi Schultz, Danny Ross, David Manuel, Elton Landrew, and Deon Lotz star in Number 37 scripted by Dumisa, Travis Taute, and Daryne Joshua.
