WARNING SPOILERS !!!!!! The midseason finale of The Walking Dead was last night and as usual, fans had a lot to say. The episode was over run with walkers, but only had a few minutes of real action. The majority of the episode focused on the emotional aspect of the events and characters. At the beginning of the episode we saw the tower fall, bring down a large section of the wall. Walkers spilled through, filling the streets with hundreds of decaying, hungry walking dead. Maggie barely made it up the ladder to the tower and Rick and the group were split up. Rick, Michonne, Carl, Father Gabrial, Jessie and Ron sought refuge in Jessie’s home. Ron took the opportunity to try to kill Carl again, but failed miserably. Carl had one of the best quotes of the night. When he followed Ron (Porch Dick Jr.) into his room, to confiscate Ron’s gun, Carl looked Ron right in the eyes

The newly released court documents of a murder case, which took place in July of this year, reveals the details surrounding the terrifying events that led to the murder of Maria Torres, at the hands of her own twelve-year-old stepdaughter. What makes the case stand out? The fact that the murder was blamed on the creepypasta legend might have something to do with it. The teenager told officials that “Laughing Jack” told her to do it. The legend goes, Laughing Jack befriends children as an imaginary friend, before slicing them open and replacing their organs with candy. The events that took place are not only sad, they could have been prevented. The Indiana girl heard voices, including the voice of Laughing Jack, months before the murder and begged her father to get her help, but he didn’t. The girl (her name protected by the court) has since been diagnosed with P.T.S.D. and Dissociate Identity Disorder, once known as Multiple Personality

There were very few smiles the day Silent Hills was stricken from Konami’s roster. In fact I feel bad for even bringing it up. But not for good reason! There’s a silver lining to this tale of woe. It might not be a “HOLY SHIT GUYS THEY ARE MAKING IT!” silver lining, but it’s good to hear nonetheless. Norman Reedus has recently stated that he is still totally down for the game to be made. Even though Konami has axed the project, Reedus has faith that Del Toro, Kojima will still be able to collaborate in the future on another project. I mean, with petitions going around the web since the announcement of the cancellation reaching thousands signatures, someone is bound to jump on to complete this project and get it done. Del Toro also gave his two cents on why he thinks it would have been a great experience for gamers. Word is, they were trying something new when

A Fleet of eleven ghost ships have washed up on the coast of Japan. No, this is not the plot of a new horror film, eleven REAL ghost ships mysteriously appeared on Japan’s coast yesterday (November 28th), carrying the remains of of twenty-three sailors, like a scene out of the 2002 film Ghost Ship or the horror film The Fog. The bodies of the sailors are so badly decomposed that they are unidentifiable and have been described as skeletons. The only clues to the ship’s origins are a piece of flag in one ship, identified as a North Korea flag and a sign on one ship saying “Korean People’s Army”. The fact that ships appeared all at once would give the impression that they all set sail at the same time, but showing up the way they did is a little creepy. We will update you as the story develops.
