It’s the end of the world for Tonya Kay’s Nadia and the rest of Earth’s residents in the new flick dubbed Earthastrophe by Cinetel Films (which is known for their remakes of I Spit On Your Grave). A trailer has been recently dropped for this flick which in-turn features our heroes trying to find out why a worm-hole opened sucking the earth into it causing Earth’s current apocalyptic fate. Kay was recently reported to have also faced a night in the imfamous Amityville Horror house in her previous film Amityville Terror. In a white hot flash of light, and with no warning, one minute our moon is there, the next it’s gone. Then, a second flash. And that’s the last thing anyone on Earth can remember. 11 months later, it’s not post- apocalyptic; it’s apocalyptic as Earth has been sucked through a wormhole, literally ripping our planet from the inside out. With bizarre disasters and civilization collapsing, our heroes must

‘Walking Dead’ Fans are eager for the premiere of season 7, so that they can find who Negan beat to death. If the story follows the comic Glenn will die, but executive producer Greg Nicotero may have just slipped up and dropped a huge spoiler. For a while the theory has been that Negan killed not only Glenn, but more than one person. Many fans seem to think that Abraham’s life may end or even that it’s Daryl (Norman Reedus) that will die along with Glenn. Well, Mr. Nicotero may have just confirmed that not one, but two lives or more lives will end in the season 7 premiere during an interview with EW. If we would have shown the deaths, then they wouldn’t have felt our characters in season 7 they way they need to. Did you catch that, Nicotero said “deaths”, as in plural. Of course he tried to cover his slip-up. Listen, it was the hardest two

In honor of Halloween approaching (everyone’s favorite holiday) and whispers of the second remake happening (Kevin Bacon, anyone?) this #Odeto80s is on that 1986 Wes Craven classic: A Nightmare on Elm Street. WHERE IT CAME FROM: Wes Craven had already had horror movie success when he read a series of disturbing articles in the newspaper: “It was a series of articles in the LA Times, three small articles about men from South East Asia, who were from immigrant families and had died in the middle of nightmares—and the paper never correlated them, never said, ‘Hey, we’ve had another story like this.” Crave took this horrifying premise and paired it with his own terrifying childhood memory of a creepy man that had come to his window , and put a red and green striped sweater on it to create Freddy Krueger. WHY WE LOVE IT: Nightmare is arguably Craven’s greatest work, leaving the audience feel unsafe: even in their sleep. Aside

WARNING GRAPHIC IMAGES! Often life is much more terrifying than anything horror writers can dream up. An unusual and mysterious series of events, reported by The Washington Post, has captured the world’s curiosity. Since 2007, 16 human feet still in their shoes, have washed up on the shores of the Pacific Northwest. The latest foot arrived earlier this week. That’s right, 16 feet. They have been various sizes, ages and sexes. The feet belong to five men and 3 women. The big question is, who and where did they come from? There are several theories, but little to no evidence, other than the feet, shoes and socks. Some believe the feet are from a plane crash that happened in 2005, but that theory doesn’t make much sense, seeing that the latest foot has been identified as from being detached from its body in 2013. Others think it’s from the tsunami that occurred in 2004, but again, the new foot is
