Logan Paul Cut Off From YouTube & Google

YouTube and Google released a statement announcing that internet disgrace, Logan Paul, will no longer be associated with them and was removed from Google’s advertising tier Google Preferred. That means Paul will no longer receive ad revenue for his videos, in short, he won’t be making money on YouTube and Google anymore. To add more salt on the wound, YouTube Red will be halting shows and movies that Paul was involved with, including the sequel to the thriller The Thining, putting the production in jeopardy, maybe Christopher Plummer is available? The action taken by Paul’s former gravy trains was a result of relentless public outcry as well as outcries from other YouTubers over Paul’s video of him in Japan’s Aokigahara forest where he and his friends filmed the body of a suicide victim and proceeded to make jokes about it. Paul made a half-hearted apology after backlash which prompted even more backlash as the public saw through it resulting in

Pennywise Haunted Bill Skarsgard’s Dreams After “IT” Wrapped

Hollywood is filled with crazy stories of character actors and the lengths they go for the perfect performance. It goes to say then that a dark character like Pennywise the Clown would be dark on the psyche of anyone who inhabited him. Bill Skarsgard, the man behind the clown, confirmed as much in an interview with EW. “I liken every character that I do to a relationship that you’re in,” Skarsgård tells EW. “Pennywise and Bill go into this sort of relationship together, and I’m trying to figure out who he is and I have to devote so much time and effort to this other person – or thing, in this case – and that goes on for months. It’s just like being in a very destructive relationship. “After we wrapped, I was in my childhood home in Sweden, sitting having coffee with my mom at our kitchen table, and realized, ‘Oh, holy sh—, I don’t have to deal with

BABYMETAL Guitarist Passes Away After Accident

It’s being announced today via social media that Japanese guitarist Mikio Fujioka has passed away. On Fujioka’s twitter account his wife made the announcement that he died on January 5th at the age of 36. Fujioka fell from an astronomical observation deck on December 30th while stargazing. His health took a turn for the worse and passed away from his injuries with his two daughters present at the moment of his death. Fujioka published ten guitar textbooks and was a lecturer at a music school in Japan but he’s mostly known from being part of the Kami Band (originally referred to as the Gods of Metal), a group made up of five musicians who are members of other bands or work on solo projects but come together to be the band for Japan’s Kawaii-Metal music group BABYMETAL. Fujioka went by the stage name Ko-Gami (the Small God) because he was the shortest member of the Kami Band at 5’1 (158cm).

AXEMAN 2: OVERKILL Now Free For Amazon Prime Users

Amazon is known for it’s cutting edge prices, but “Axeman 2” slices more than just your shopping bills. Now available on Prime the sequel, subtitled “Overkill” looks like a bloody good time. Including such F-list celebrities as “Teen Mom” star Farrah Abraham, CBS’ “Big Brother” star Rachel Reilly, there’s no shortage of fodder for Axeman’s weapon of choice. Starring by legendary WWE figure Bryan Clark, “Overkill” features “crazed evangelical Christians, murderous bank robbers and revenge-seeking vigilantes (who) clash in the quaint town of Cutter’s Creek.” Cutter’s Creek is either the name of my new emo band or the best title ever bestowed upon a cursed city. The trailer features a whole lot of gore, overacting, axe swinging, and chopped up young people. What else could you ask for from a slasher movie? Especially one you can watch for free.

Petition To Halt Release Of ‘Slender Man’ Movie Gains Momentum

A new online petition is calling for SONY Studios to halt the release of their upcoming horror movie Slender Man citing the incident that made headlines back in 2014 when Anissa Weier and Morgan Geyser, both 12 years old at the time, tried to murder a friend and fellow classmate, Payton Leutner also age 12. The motive behind the attack that stunned their hometown of Waukesha, Wisconsin was that they wanted to become “proxies” to the fictional character Slender Man and prove their loyalty to him so their families will be spared by him. One of the film’s biggest critics and is said to have signed the petition himself is Anissa Weier’s father who calls the film “extremely distasteful” due to the fact that three families have been affected by this fictional character. Weier was sentenced to 25 years in a Mental Health facility after pleading guilty and subsequently found not guilty due to mental illness by a jury, Her

An Ophidiophobics Worst Nightmare: Ilha Da Queimada Grande

Sometimes the scariest things in life can’t be found in works of fiction or spoken around a flashlight on a dark and stormy night, they’re very real and they’re places that embody what we fear most. If you’re someone who suffers from Ophidiophobia, the fear of snakes, then this island is not for you. Ilha da Queimada Grande is an island located 18 miles off the coast of Brazil with a population of ZERO, well, when speaking about human population. If you’re talking population, in general, it’s actually around 2-4,000 snakes (cue Indiana Jones’s famous line). If you’re still reading this, I’m sorry it gets worse; the snakes populating the island are Golden Lanceheads, a species of pit viper that can only be found on this island and that’s good too because the venom they produce is the most deadly venom of any snake species in North/South America and is said to actually MELT flesh around the bite wound and

Horror Short Of The Week: “2AM: The Smiling Man”

Welcome to the first entry of a new ongoing series, Horror Short of The Week. This week’s entry; “2AM: THE SMILING MAN” If you’ve got 4 minutes and a clean pair of underwear , “2AM: THE SMILING MAN” is a short film you need to see. Based off an old creepypasta, “SMILING MAN” is one of the most atmospheric, terror inducing shorts I’ve ever seen. Excellent use of sound design, from feet scrapping across the sidewalk to the blaring alarm, adds a sense of horror that’d be sorely missing otherwise. Paul Foltz, whose only IMDB credit is this film, is perfectly horrifying as the well dressed, skyward looking monster at the cent of the movie. Without a single word or change of expression, he conveys a sense of madness and perfect horror. The simplicity of his character works well here. You don’t know anything about the smiling man, except he’s tall, he’s fast, and he’s completely fucking crazy. “THE SMILING

There’s A ‘Harry Potter’ Easter Egg In ‘Dying Light: The Following’… And It’s Spooky!

I’ve been playing Dying Light for a while now as well as its DLC The Following. Amazing game, but eventually I got a little bored and wanted to find a way to make it interesting, so I was looking around the internet to find information on some Easter Eggs. One that jumped out to me was a Harry Potter Easter Egg in Dying Light: The Following where they say that under the stairs of this creepy abandoned house is the famed Boy Wizard’s bedroom while he lived with his Muggle relatives. I found a picture showing where the house in question was located in which I hopped into my buggy and drove to the location, running over zombies that got in the way. After arriving at the abandoned hovel I walked inside and true enough, compared to other houses you can enter, it was abandoned and spooky. Note Spoilers ahead after the picture of the map! Once I explored the

INSIDIOUS: THE LAST KEY Doesn’t Unlock Anything New

The fourth film and second prequel in the increasingly confusing “Insidious” series “The Last Key” doesn’t unlock anything new. More demons, more possessions, more creepy creatures with long creaky limbs; it’s more of the Insidious you know and love, except worse. Lin Shay is great as always as demon fighting elderly ass kicker Elise Rainer, but everything else is getting tired. This time around Elise and her sidekicks Tucker and Specs are visiting Elise’s childhood home, where a key fingered demon is crawling around and causing havoc. Add in an appearance from a few more Rainer family members (one of whom has inherited Elise’s powers) some of the most uncomfortable “comic relief” I’ve ever seen, and plenty of long, tension and scare free scenes of people walking slowly, and you’ve got a film that stretch’s its 103 minute running time like a poor fitting pair of pants. Elise is an amazing character, and in small doses Tucker and Specs aren’t
