Trailer: Discovery is Opening the “Lost Monster Files” This October

For the first time in over 50 years, the newly uncovered case files of renowned cryptozoologist Ivan Sanderson are being reexamined in the all-new series LOST MONSTER FILES. The series features a team of experts who gained exclusive access to Sanderson’s research to explore unfinished cases. The team will focus on present-day sightings to determine if modern science and technology can bring them closer to answers. Ivan Sanderson is a founder of cryptozoology, which studies unknown and legendary species. He amassed the most extensive collection of unexplained creature research on Earth. Following his death in 1973, the files were closed. Now, the team will apply long-hidden insights and clues from Sanderson’s specimens, journals, and audio recordings to new field investigations. “Ivan Sanderson’s cryptozoology case files are by far the largest of its kind,” said Howard Lee, President of Discovery Networks. “It’s a treasure trove of fascinating information that the public has never seen before in this capacity – in fact,

In the 1970’s Jack Delroy (the amazing David Dastmalchian, 2021’s Dune and The Suicide Squad) makes a bid to dethrone Johnny Carson’s The Tonight Show which doesn’t quite succeed. Following the death of his wife, Jack takes a sabbatical before returning with a tweak to his format where controversy and shock value is introduced among the schtick and corniness. Flash forward to Halloween night, 1977 and Jack has a pretty stellar line-up sure to appeal big-fucking-time to the Occult obsessed ’70s including celebrity clairvoyant/fraud Christou (Fayssal Bazzi) and paranormal debunker Carmichael Haig (Ian Bliss), but the real showstopper is parapsychologist Dr. June Ross-Mitchell (Laura Gordon) and her young charge Lilly (Ingrid Torelli… more on her in a bit), a girl rescued from the fiery stand-off between law enforcement and a Satanic cult. About Lilly, she’s two things; incredibly strange and purported to be demonically possessed… and Jack is all about proving that particular topic to be a fact to improve

Game Review: 'Home Safety Hotline'

Game Review: ‘Home Safety Hotline’

Analog Horror is on the rise, and along with it are games in the genre but unfortunately not many of them are available for all gamers as they tend to be more geared for PC players. That has changed with the horror analog game Home Safety Hotline now coming to console this month thanks to Night Signal Entertainment, Torture Star Video, and Puppet Combo! Home Safety Hotline puts players in 1996 in the role of a new hire at Home Safety Hotline, a service where people call in with problems they’re experiencing in their homes, and players will have to determine what that issue is to help them. The calls started normal but quickly became more…paranormal. Now, onto the game itself! Controls for Home Safety Hotline, they’re relatively easy to learn and you have options to keep the prompts on the screen as you play (which is a big help). If you’re familiar with how computers looked like in 1996,
