Oh those Russian dashcam videos. They seem to offer a never ending supply of remarkable traffic accidents and truely frightening incidents of road rage. But they can also catch some pretty amazing acts of Mother Nature.
On April 19th, this video was captured of what is believed to be a meteor streaking across the sky in Murmansk, Russia.
Though not terribly uncommon, it is only now with the proliferation of things such as dashcams that these blink-and-you-miss-them type of events are being seen by more than just a handful of eyewitnesses.
Officials say that the nature of the celestrial body is yet unkown. Given this news and the fact that i have seen enough (too many?) movies, I am not willing to completly rule out the possibility that it may have been more than just a run of the mill meteor.
Hot on the heels of last week’s announcement that the 
It should come as no surprise to the astute horror fan that Lucky McKee has a knack for creating horrific women. Even a casual glance at his filmography, which includes the underrated The Woods, the shocking The Woman, and the still wonderful May, tells you this is a male filmmaker who is fascinated by "bad" female characters. (Mr. McKee also did a fine film about a man and his dog. It's called Red, but it's not pertinent to the "female" angle I'm employing here, so let's just move on.)
This is an age old story. You're a brave soldier, or a dastardly brigand, you fire off shaft after shaft of arrows, or you wield powerful magic. You are one of the Heroes, one of the good guys, and it's your job to protect the realm from all manner of terrifying horrors. Like the Terror with 1,000 Legs! Uh oh, these creepy-looking, crawling monsters want to tear you limb from limb, and only by working together with your compatriots will you stand a chance at survival.
Each player takes on the role of a specific hero fighting against the darkness. Player choose ahead of time what scenario, or quest, they want to play out. The game doesn't need anyone to run the side of the monsters, those creatures are pre-designed to pop out and hurt you at all the wrong times. You control your hero with your Hero Deck, which will allow you to move, take actions, attack, and help your allies. Each action that a hero does will make the darkness get closer to acting. When the darkness "takes its turn" the heroes are in trouble. In the end, you'll play your cards, move your miniatures, and attempt to succeed in your noble quest.
If you can find a dedicated group of pals to play this game with I guarantee you'll be playing this game for a long, long time. There are plenty of quests to keep you busy, and this is the type of game that will span a fan-based set of quests. The community behind this game is strong, even though the game is brand new.
The recent resurrection of the historical Hammer Films studio was, of course, cause for much celebration among horror fans around the world. The British production company built a name for itself in horror in the 1960s and it's been great to have them back. (You don't have to bother with The Resident, but Hammer productions Wake Wood, Let Me In, and The Woman in Black are all worthwhile horror films.) The company's latest offering is, at best, a mixed bag. The Quiet Ones aims to combine an effectively creepy story set in 1974 with a bunch of "found footage" footage that serves no real purpose.
When we last left our friends at the end of the world, Rick made a major move against the despicable Negan and his Saviors. A tense stand-off ensues, with Negan using every last bit of strength he's got to take Rick down. After a great little scuffle and some shots fired, we're left with a clean-up that everyone can feel good about. Rick makes an inspiring speech, Carl's upset, and the future remains as open as a blank slate at the end of the All Out War story arc.
This is a cute little bed time story about a little girl named Mary who's lost in a world she doesn't understand. With the help of a big glob of black goop (with a flower on its head) and a jet-black spider named Spide, she makes her way through a dream world to find Mother Night, a beneficent dream-woman who's been locked away inside her house by an evil witch. Got all that? Good, because then the rag-tag group of adventurers head off into a night mouse kingdom and are given questionable advice from the mouse king!
The Witcher Geralt is a powerful, white-haired monster hunter. He's trained in the magical arts, he can't be poisoned, and he can be one cold-hearted dude. With his new friend Jakob in tow, the two bumble into a house that seems to have no end. A stinky, dead monster man comes and tries to kill them. They wander the halls endlessly. The Witcher makes a new lady friend, and they learn a bit about this giant house they've stumbled into.
Our poor sap of a protagonist lives his life in semi-discomfort day in and day out. He's lost track of time. His work sucks, but it isn't terrible. His life is uncomfortable, but not unbearable. He's on the brink of pain and pleasure at all times, and yet he's just stuck in this middle ground. When a woman he sees everyday on the bus drops a handkerchief, he finally works up the nerve to speak to her. And that's when things get really, really weird.
Carl Tanzler, AKA Count Carl von Cosel, was a German-born radiologic technologist who emigrated to the United States in 1926. He settled in Florida, eventually taking a job at the U.S. Marine Hospital in Key West. It was during his time here that met a patient by the name of Maria Elena de Hoyos. A beautiful Cuban-American local, he believed that she was his true love that had been shown to him in childhood “visions”.
The body had badly decomposed at this point. He rebuilt her by attaching the bones together with wire, creating a new “skin” with cloth soaked in wax and plaster of paris, inserted glass eyeballs, and dressed her. The two of them lived together happily for 7 years, that is until 1940 when her sister confronted him about the sick rumors she had been hearing. 
The body was discovered by police and Tanzler was arrested. Although deemed mentally competent (!?!) to stand trial, the case had to be dismissed because the statute of limitations had expired.
Illha da Queimada Grande, or Snake island, is a fairly tiny island off the coast of Brazil. Measuring only 430,000 square meters (.16 square miles) it would be seemingly unremarkable if not for its inhabitants. The Golden Lancehead Viper. Not only is the species endemic to this small island, it is one of the world’s most venomous snakes. And we aren’t talking about a few snakes staving off extinction, they thrive here. In fact they are the only species of snake on the island. Local legend has it that there are 5 snakes for every square meter (that is 2.15 million for those counting at home). As most local legends go, this is likely exaggerated and the number is closer to 1 per one square meter. Still a frightening thought.
