Ever wondered what it would be like to be in the bowels of Hell? Well, Madmind Studio must have thought that because they made a game about it, meet Agony, a survival horror game in first-person that takes players to the unforgiving underworld. Players take on the role of a tormented soul deep in Hell who is on a mission to leave hell behind and the only way to do so is to meet the “Red Goddess” Agony.

We are officially halfway to Halloween, but today everyone is talking about the new Halloween movie thanks to the first official poster being released. To top it off, Laurie Strode herself, Jamie Lee Curtis revealed during a conversation with Yahoo that horror fans are “… gonna love this movie.” I’ve seen a trailer and I’ve seen some footage, and it’s terrifying,” Curtis told the site. “They went full-tilt boogeyman. And I’ve never said that in my life, and I will say full-tilt boogeyman for the rest of the year as I go around talking about this.” Curtis also mentioned what she though title of the movie should’ve been. There was the idea of, ‘What do you call it?’ If I had had my druthers, I probably would’ve called it Halloween Retold. Because it’s being retold. It’s the original story in many, many, many ways. Just retold 40 years later with my granddaughter.” In the film, directed by David Gordon Green

WARNING: some information in this article may be considered disturbing A Doctor sworn to uphold the Hippocratic oath to do no harm but to heal decides to ignore the oath for his own place in history and performs experiments on victims in the name of science… Sounds like an interesting premise for a Netflix show or movie but sometimes reality is scarier than fiction. After a five-month review, an 18-person panel formed by New York City Mayor de Blasio decided that the statue of Doctor J. Marion Sims, known as the father of gynecology, to be removed from Central Park due to inhumane medical experiments performed on African-American slave women. Sims perfected the surgical technique of fistula tears between the vagina and bladder or rectum which can occur during childbirth and if left untreated can cause massive infections leading to death post birth for women in the 19th century. Sims is also credited with the invention of the surgical/examination tool

The team over at 11 bit studios, the makers of the critically acclaimed survival game This War of Mine, will be releasing another thought-provoking “actions have consequences” style game, Frostpunk where players take on the role of a ruler known as the “Captain” who is leading survivors to build a self-sustaining city while making some hard decisions. The story takes place in an alternate Steampunk reality of 1886. It’s summer but global temperatures have dropped well below freezing turning the world into a frozen wasteland. The player takes on the role of a leader of a group of survivors who he’s led to a gigantic furnace where they can stay warm and build a city around it. Players will have to deal with the plight of their people ranging from hunger, disease, monotony, and the human condition. Players will not only have to gather resources to build but also have to make decisions (or “events” as they’re called) that could

Residents in Sante Fe, Argentina are on edge after a mysterious half-man half-wolf creature killed a Pitbull and a German Sheppard. The creature had its picture taken while it was leaving the scene. This is where things get weird…well more suspicious. After lurking around the dark web all signs seemed to point to a youtube channel called UFOMania. Before I decided to become a writer, I went to school studying Animal Management, learn about animals, the science behind studying them, and Animal Husbandry (taking care of them in a zoological setting), so my interest perked and I wanted to take a closer look at this “creature”. From looking at its limbs, head shape, and posture, I began to think that this creature looked like a hairless emaciated bear which would explain why it would attack two dogs. Most bear species, contrary to popular belief, are omnivores (eat both plants and meat) with the only true carnivore bear species being the

Last month, the six-inch skeletal remains of what appears to be an alien infant, that’s being kept in a private collection, underwent DNA testing and proved once and for all that the skeleton is in fact of this planet and is human. The remains are that of a female fetus who had a form of a bone disease that caused the child’s death before being born. The remains were found in the Atacama Desert in Chile by an armature collector two decades ago. Sorry, Ancient Aliens guy. The testing done on the remains of the Atacama child using new methods of testing DNA proves that it’s possible to determine the death of skeletal remains of ancient people. With the testing, scientists determined by mapping her genomes that she was part of the indigenous culture in the Atacama but had significant DNA traits belonging to Europeans. With the science to back it up archeologists were able to determine through historical accounts

Fans of Futurama are familiar with the “suicide booth” from the pilot episode where Fry mistook the device for a phone booth and meets the snarky robot Bender who goes in the booth with him revealing that the booth is meant to end life at the choice of the user; quick and painless, slow and horrible, and clumsy bludgeoning. Well in a macabre turn of events, a real-life “suicide booth” is in the works and guests at the Amsterdam Funeral Expo got a chance to test it out Saturday…virtually! The booth in question is the “Sarco” pod, a 3d printed device created by Australian euthanasia advocate Phillip Nitschke who some call the Elon Musk of assisted suicides. The Sarco is a mobile device that can be taken anywhere the user wishes it to be. Once inside the user must enter a code to activate the machine which will ask for more confirmation before finally activating. Once activated the machine pumps
