Legend Meets Real Life: The Kappa Of Kyuushuu And Kappa-dera

WARNING: Some subject matter may be disturbing to some readers. The Kappa is an adorable turtle-like creature with a Moe Howard haircut, big teddybear eyes, and rosy cheeks that make it just so darn cute that you want to pick it up and hug the daylights out of the little critter! This is all in part thanks to animes like Youkai Watch, How to raise a Kappa, and Summer days with Coo as well as little trinkets you can get from a vending machine. In reality, the Kappa is a creature of Japanese folklore that needs to be feared, why? Well for starters they can literally suck the life out of you…by way of your butt. The Kappa whose name in Japanese means “Water Child” is probably one of the most recognizable Yōkai (Japanese mythological creatures), a nymph/goblin-like creature who can be found in rivers and that’s said to be no bigger than a child but have tremendous strength.

Vampire Film ‘Living Among Us’ Sets Its Fangs Into Theaters This February

The star-studded vampire film Living Among Us has set its fangs into a release date. In Living Among Us, “Vampires have just made themselves public, and a documentary crew have been invited by their sectional leader to spend time with a family of vampires to see how they live. When they discover their secrets, how much danger will they put themselves in to get the footage they need? Living Among Us is an entertaining, modern supernatural horror and a commentary on today’s society, media and politics.” The film stars the late John Heard (Home Alone), alongside Ésme Bianco (Game of Thrones), Thomas Ian Nicholas (American Pie), William Sadler (The Shawshank Redemption), James Russo (Django Unchained), Andrew Keegan (10 Things I Hate About You), Jordan Hinson (Eureka), Hunter Gomez (National Treasure), and Jessica Morris (The Wrong Man).

‘What We Do In The Shadows’ Spin-Off ‘Wellington Paranormal’ Coming To TV

2014’s vampire flick What We Do in the Shadows won our hearts and was a big success. It didn’t take long for fans to start begging for a sequel. While filmmakers Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement are still working on the script for their spin-off We’re Wolves, they are moving ahead with developing a new TV series, based on the police in the film, played by Mike Minogue and Karen O’Leary. Nick (Cori Gonzalez-Macuer) will also be featured in the series as the duo struggles to protect Wellington safe from supernatural forces. In a recent interview with Stuff, Clement talked about the troubles over in Wellington. It’s surprising how many demonic possessions there are,” he told Stuff. “There was a very tense situation at the Bucket Fountain – I can tell you it involved a possible Gateway from Hell. We’re very concerned about this kind of stuff.”We had an incident with some zombies which got pretty tense there,” he added.

Zombies, Vampires Or Humans: Burying A False Meme

Oh the internet, you give us hours of entertainment and insight into the world around us. Sadly you’re also the home of the misinformed and the gullible. There’s been a meme circulating the web for years showing a gravesite with an iron cage covering it, quite peculiar indeed till you read the text that accompanies it. There’s a lot wrong with this meme. First off, the Victorians (1837-1901) were not as naive and terrified of the world around them as the generations before them.
