Today, August 14, 2015, marks the 40th anniversary of one of my very favorite movies, the 1975 classic ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’. You would have to be from outer space to have never have heard of the ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’. It’s fantastic for so many reasons, it’s unforgettable characters, great lines, fun musical numbers. It truly is one of a kind. The movie also happens to be the longest running film in cinema history.

Most every horror fan is familiar with the 1987 movie ‘Predator’. The horror classic starred Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carl Weathers and was directed by John McTiernan. In the movie a team of commandos are sent to the jungles of Central America and find themselves hunted by an extraterrestrial warrior. Since it’s release there have been 7 films, not counting the AVP movies. Shane Black, the director of ‘Iron Man 3’, is now working on a new sequel to ‘Predator’. I think that it’s fitting that Black is involved and is direct. After all, Black has a serious connection to the original movie, he played the role of Hawkins. Little is known about the new film, except that Black is co-writing the script with Fred Dekker (The Monster Squad). It has been said that the movie will be a direct sequel and will bypass the AVP movies and it’s rumored that Tyrone Magnus and Emma Stone have both signed on for

People have been trying to prove that the world of the paranormal exists for as long as history can remember. Paranormal investigator Jayne Harris believes she has proof and it has been caught on film. Harris began her investigation into claims that a puppet attempted to choke it’s owner to death. Harris filmed the doll, which is now kept inside a glass box, every night for three months. One day after reviewing the night’s film she noticed that the puppet moved inside it’s box. The owner said that activity began just two weeks after he inherited the puppet.
