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

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.

It was just a matter of time before Gremlins was added to the list of new remakes, or so we thought. Zach Galligan, who played the role of Billy in the original two films, announced that the new Gremlins film will actually be a sequel, not a remake. Galligan told an audience at a recent screening of the 1984 film “It’s not going to be a reboot. It will not be a remake in any way, shape or form. Chris Columbus has come out and said that the first film is very near and dear to his heart and as long as he is alive it will never be remade. So the only thing they will be – and apparently are going to be – doing is something along the lines of like Jurassic World, where it will be 30 years later.” There is no word yet if Galligan will be returning for the new film.
