Anne Hathaway Looks Spooktacular on New Poster for The Witches Remake

Witches are real! That’s what the upcoming remake of The Witches promises as they will be coming next year on the big screen…

The Witches

It was announced last year that one of our favorite childhood scary movies was getting a reboot, which we couldn’t be more excited about, The Witches.

Based on the book of the same title by British writer Roald Dahl, the first adaptation movie tells us the story of Luke Eveshim, a young boy who goes on vacation in Norway with his grandmother Helga. She warns him about witches and how to recognize them as she recalls  her childhood friend Erica was victim of a evil witch and got cursed to live inside a painting for the rest of her life.

A convention of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children will be taking at the hotel, but in fact, it’s a coven full of horripilant witches. Their powerful leader known as the Grand High Witch is there to unveil her new master plan, a magic potion that turns children into mice so parent can exterminate them and do the witches’ dirty work for them.

Luke together with his new friend Bruno, will try to stop the witches even if they have to fight them as mice.

The film was released in 1990, the year when writer Roald Dahl passed away. And even though the movie wasn’t a massive success on the big screen, it sure gained a cult following throughout the years.

The Witches Remake

Now the remake is starring Oscar winner Anne Hathaway who will follow in the footsteps of Anjelica Huston to star in her role as the new Grand High Witch. Also, it is directed by Robert Zemeckis, known for films such as ‘Back to the Future’ (1985) and ‘Monster House’ (2006) working together with co-writer producer Guillermo del Toro, known for ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ (2006) and ‘Shape of Water’ (2017).

In the original movie, it had a different ending than Dahl’s children book. However, Zemeckis described the new film adaptation as being closer to the novel but only with a little twist. He told French website Allocine, “We’re going to set it in the Gothic South in the 1960s. It’s an exciting way to put a sociological spin on this kind of witch story.”

A supposed official movie poster was leaked on Reddit and has caused a lot of expectation as we also can see Octavia Spencer and Stanley Tucci with our new Grand High Witch.

The film was pretended to hit theaters on October of this year, as marked at the bottom of the poster, however due to the pandemic, the movie is now scheduled for 2021. The releasing date is yet to be decided.

Roast ducks

Disney has its famous show Fantasmic at Hollywood Studios park. During the performance, a large dragon sets fire to the water.

The most lethal place

This may seem like an exaggeration, but there have been over 100 loss of life and serious injuries in the parks.

One of the most notorious cases was about Dolly, a mother who was enjoying a ride on a roller coaster and suddenly felt the need to see that if her son was fine in the front seat. She stand up in a sharp curve and sadly fell to the train tracks, where she lost her life.

Undercover Police 

If you’ve ever been to any Disney park, you’ve probably noticed the absence of law enforcement officers. That doesn’t mean they aren’t there. Disney’s undercover police is located at the underground tunnels, waiting for an emergency call from the staff or where you least expect it. They could be strolling through the parks in casual clothes to not take away the magic inside the parks.

Real bones

The Pirates of the Caribbean ride has skulls sitting and hanging all over the place. All of those are fake, except for one.

A cast member once said: “There’s a real skull, which is actually in the captain’s room. It’s the one on the bed. It’s the only one I know that is real, I heard that there are two more, but we haven’t found them yet. ”

Secret codes

There are many secret codes used in Disney World. If you hear someone say “25”, it means there’s a fire. The code“70” means a lost child.

But none is as common as Code V, the custodians hate to hear it, because it means someone threw up.

7 Gates Of Hell Around The World

Since the beginning of humanity, there have always been differences about the mythology that exist in each culture around the world. Most of them have their own gods as well as their own equivalent of hell, so it’s interesting to find that there are some places which were seen as ways to enter to hell and these are some of the most famous.

St Patrick’s Purgatory

It is located in Ireland and according to old tales, Christ showed himself to St. Patrick and guided him to the entrance of the cave. Christ told him that there was a moat at the place, which was a gate to Purgatory and while St. Patrick was there, he got visions of the anguish from the underworld. Perhaps part of its mystery has endured, thanks to the cave being closed in 1632.

Masaya Volcano

Located at Nicaragua, it was known as ‘the mountain that burns’ by locals and was used as a space for rituals. However, the caldera was renamed as the ‘Mouth of Hell’ by the Spanish when they arrived in the 16th century. The name was given because inside, there was a witch of whom they took advice of, and also, because the chronicler who traveled with the Spanish assumed that this witch was actually the Devil. Such was the commotion among the Europeans that a monk placed a cross at the entrance to exorcise the demon.

Acheron

This is not a cave but a river that’s been part of Greek mythology for being considered the one in which Charon used to lead the dead to the underworld. It’s supposed to be one of the five rivers of hell and it is part of Dante’s Divine Comedy. He considered it as the border before entering to hell.

Hekla

It’s a stratovolcano of Iceland that in the 12th century became famous as a gate to hell after being known as Judas’ prison and it has erupted constantly since then. Nowadays, it’s considered as a place where witches meet with the Devil.

Lacus Curtius

It was a pit in the ground that was located in the middle of the Roman Forum in Italy and it’s been the inspiration for many stories and legends. The most famous one recalls the moment the crack opened at the Forum, leaving a huge infernal abyss that nobody could shut. According to an oracle, the only way to close it was, if the citizens would throw away their more valuable possessions. A young man even threw himself into.

Houska Castle

In Czech Republic, there’s a castle that has been part of many legends. The most known is about an infinite crack that existed before the castle was built and in which weird appearances could be seen. Soon, passing near the place at night was avoided since it was said that during that time, some half-man, half-beast creatures used to come out of the crack, giving it the terrible reputation of being a gate to hell.

Hierapolis

It is located in an area known as Plutonium in Turkey, where an ancient crack can be found which used to be seen as a gate to hell. It had a huge impact in history that decades later, it would be considered as a World Heritage Site.

How To Remember Your Past Lives

When one reincarnates, it means that all the memories of other lives have been erased. However, if you want to remember a little about how your past lives were, here are 3 ways to remember who were you used to be.

Using your intuition

You may not remember specific details of your past lives, but you are inexplicably drawn to certain places, situations, people and more.

Past life regression

Some therapists may help you remember your other lives through a regression process. They can also help you overcome a trauma or problem that you don’t know how or when it started, because they happened during past lives.

Kinesiology

An specialist will make you stretch your arm, hand or fingers and you must keep them still without moving. The person will proceed to ask you a question and touch you to analyze how your body reacts.

Your body will answer for you. If you agree, your muscles will get tense, your arms, hands or fingers won’t move or go down when the specialist touch you. But if you don’t, once the specialist touches your hands, fingers or arms, they will fall a little by losing some strength or tension.

By using this technique and asking the right questions you can learn a lot about other past lives.

The Real Story Behind Stephen King’s “Pet Sematary”

In 1989, one of the most iconic films in the history of horror cinema was released: “Pet Cemetery”, based on the chilling novel by the talented master of horror Stephen King. It surpassed the numbers at the box office and even though, the movie is terriyfing, there’s a true story behind.

Real Pet Sematary

Not many know this, but a pet sematary actually exists. It is located in a deep wooded area in Haldon Hills, England. It’s a cemetery entirely dedicated to the residents’ deceased pets such as dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, hamsters, birds and even fish.

It is usually a quiet place to say your farewells to your best friend. However, it may not be the last time you see your pet, because legend has it that during the night, all the animals come back to life and wander around.

It is unknown what causes this or what’s on the ground to make this mysterious event come true, but there are countless stories about the resurrection of these animals.

Testimonies about the pet cemetery

A well-known story was about a family who lived near the forest.

One afternoon, they found out their dog was hit by a car and even when they tried to help it, it was too late because, their pet had passed away. The family was devastaded but decided to take the dog to the cemetery to bury and mourn their loss.

Weeks passed by and one morning, one of the sons left the house to play with his skateboard. Suddenly, he saw a dog identical to his, only that it looked dirty and somehow fuzzy. He decided to get closer bit by bit. The more he did, the more he was noticing how the dog would move his tail excitedly. He was doing the exact same movements his deceased dog used to do when receiving the family at home.

When the boy was really close to the dog, he realized that it was his pet. He was wearing the same necklace and nameplate. The boy really amazed by this, tried to take him but the dog ran away into the forest until he no longer could see him. The son returned home excited and yelling at his parents what he had seen. For hours the family looked for the dog but never found him.

While investigating through the cemetery, everything was exactly the same except that there were some footprints with the same size of their dog’s. They were found above the place where he was buried.

 

Story of Ghost Pets

There are many other stories of people who have seen ghostly-looking animals wandering through the forest. And they can tell they were domestic, because some of them wear necklaces.

Another story comes from a couple who was driving near the cemetery. When they were returning, appear out of nowhere, crossing the road. They thought they would run him over, however, the dog disappeared when having contact with the vehicle. Even if they witnessed this odd event, they couldn’t believe their eyes. The couple even got off of the car looking for the dog, but he was nowhere to be around.

The monster of the cemetery

The stories about ghost animals are not the most terrifying thing, if we compare those with the monster that lives in the area.

It’s been reported about the appearance of a creepy looking creature, on different occasions which looks humanoid but runs on all fours and it’s huge, hairy and dirty.

Since there is no other explanation yet, it is said that this creature is the caused of the pet cemetery coming to life. Also, by the fact that most versions are about seeing this figure walking through the dark forest that surrounds the cemetery.

One night, the car of a man broke down on the road near the area. He claimed to have seen a large black beast jumping among the trees and that in a matter of seconds , the creature went down and ran away.

Years later, the same man was walking through the cemetery, when suddenly, he saw again the creature while this one was digging up a little animal.

Another version tells the story of a teenager who was walking with his dog in the forest. When he arrived at the cemetery, he heard noises and the sudden feeling of being watched as if some animal was stalking him. When he turned back and saw into the trees, he found a creepy creature staring at him that ended up disappearing after being noticed. The boy described the creature like a furry bear but long tail.

“Pet Sematary” by Ramones

The story not only inspired the movie but also great bands like Ramones, named one of their singles like that, and the lyrics goes like: “I don’t want to be buried in a pet sematary, I don’t want to live my life again.”

For many, this place can be quite scary, which in fact is. But for some others, it would be a great place to see their pets one more time.

Despite all, this is a clear example that life exists after death. And maybe one day we will meet again those pets we loved so much.

The Curse Of The Exorcist

In 1973, one of the most terrifying films of its time was released in theaters, The Exorcist. There was such commotion over with some of the scenes that many people suffered from fainting and having panic attacks. Some even claimed to have been possessed after watching the movie, which only increased its horrible reputation.

However, the most eerie thing about the movie is not its plot or the scenes, but a supposed curse that, since the beginning of the movie production was said to be true. And this curse has to do with death.

For those who have not seen it, the movie was a real box office success and it’s about the demonic possession of a little girl who gets worse little by little until her exorcism becomes a real challenge for a priest.

It might sound like a superstition thing by the people involved however, it reached such a point in which it’s unlikely that all those affected could have had such bad luck.

During the first day of filming, Linda Blair’s grandfather (Regan) and Max Von Sydow’s brother (Father Lankester Merrin) lost their lives, as if some kind of demonic force was punishing both in order for them not to make the movie.

Of course, this could have been just a coincidence, but odd things continued to happen while making the film such as the tapes appearing completely empty and clean after shooting with them or the loss of focus without anyone touching the camera.

Some of the creepiest things were the sound recordings in which weird noises and even voices that weren’t there while recording, could be heard.

As time passed by, the odd events increased. Incidents with telephones or objects disappearing without anyone to have touched them and even a fire occurred that reduced a large part of the sets for them film. This delayed the making of the movie by 6 weeks, which in terms of filming, it’s a lot of loss money.

Apart from the fact that during all these accidents, it is said that between 4 and 9 people passed away for different reasons, including actor Jack MacGrowran, actress Vasiliki Maliaros and two team workers were confirmed. All of them during the filming period.

This same curse is attributed to the accident Linda suffered in her  levitation scene. The harness that was supposed to lift her, broke while they were filming, so she injured her spine which caused her problems for life. It was after this that the rumor of a possible curse began since such bad luck couldn’t be anything else but paranormal events.

For this reason, a priest was hired to bless the place. However, the opposite of what everyone would have thought, the events didn’t end up there.

Apart from the events that took place during the filming, death reached not only the people who were involved but also those close to them. One of the most notorious and disturbing cases was from Mercedes McCambridge’s son (Mercedes played the voice of the devil in the movie). Year laters, he ended up with the lives of his family and his own.

Much has been speculated about this supposed curse and it has become so well-known that many people invited to participate in the following films decided not to and stated publicly this was the reason. Whether the curse is true or not, the fear surrounding the film is for sure, very real.

And do you think the curse is real?

The Mystery Of The Pollock Twins, A Case Of Reincarnation

Read about the story of the Pollock Twins, an odd case of reincarnation

It is known that the circle of life is to be born, to live and to die. But what comes next? There are many beliefs that try to explain the mysteries of the afterlife. And the case of the Pollock twins makes us think that what comes next after death is to be born again which it’s what we know as reincarnation.

The Pollock Twins

This story is set in the mid-20th century in Hexham, England. It was a Sunday morning, the happy marriage of John and Florence Pollock were on their way to mass with their daughters Johana and Jaqueline, aged 11 and 6 respectively.

They were a little late, so the little Pollock sisters decided to hurry up together with their friend to save up a seat in the church. Unfortunately none of them would arrive to their destiny. When they were crossing the street, a car hit them, ending their lives.

The parents of the Pollock sisters were in complete sorrow. However, in October 1958, a few months later, Florence became pregnant and the couple became parents of two adorable twins whom they named Guillan and Jennifer.

When the Pollock twins were 3 months old, the family moved and began a new life in Whitley-Bay. As the girls grew older, the parents noticed a strange behavior on them. Guillan took the role of an older sister and Jennifer as the younger. Also one of the twins had a birth mark which was similar to one Johana had and the other twin had also a birth mark which was similar to Jaqueline’s. But this was just the start of many coincidences…

When the twins were 4 years old, the parents decided that it was time to go back to Hexham. At the moment they arrived to town, the girls knew exactly where they were. When passing through the school where the deceased Pollock sisters studied, the twins mentioned that they used to attend classes there.

Not only did they remember that, but recognized places that the sisters usually visited and even knew the names of some neighbors. When they found the toy chest of the sisters, the twins knew the name of each toy. Guillan took the toys that belonged to Johana and Jennifer took Jaqueline’s.

Guillan and Jennifer even started to play a horrible game about falling to the ground to recreate the scene of the accident where the sisters lost their lives.

Every time they went out, if there were cars passing near them, they would get upset and hugged each other to console themselves, as if they could still recall the day of their death.

However, memories would start to fade. By the age of 5, the girls started to live a normal life, leaving behind the memories of their past lives as Johana and Jaqueline. According to experts, children who have experienced some type of reincarnation, starts to forget about their past lives by this age.

After reading the mysterious case of the Pollock twins, do you believe in reincarnation?

Real Interview With A Demon While A Girl Was Possessed

In the 1970s, England was shocked to learn of the frightful events that took place in Enfield, a small city outside London.  It became the center of attention in media when a family claimed they were being chased by a ghost.

But it was more than a ghost, even worse… This thing was taking over Janet Hodgson, an 11 year old girl who had recently played a Ouija board.

On August 30th, 1977, the fear started to take over Peggy Hodgson, a single mother who lived alone with her four children when Janet, the middle daughter, complained that her bed was shaking at night.

From that moment, the family realized that what was happening was nothing but paranormal activity.

Forty years later, in an interview for the movie The Conjuring 2, Janet said, “We were good children. We had no idea about the story of the house before the events. I was used and stalked. There was levitation,  voices and incidents that tormented my life”.

She also stated, “The emotions, the thoughts. I think if I had to go through that again, I wouldn’t make it”. Just like in the movie, the real Ed and Lorraine Warren came from the United States to help the Hodgson family.

The Warren came to the conclusion that the Hodgson children were vulnerable to demonic possession, especially Janet, who was possessed by 6 demons.

Here’s the video of the interview with Janet Hodgson when the demon manifested through her while she was talking.

 

The Red Book – One Of The 7 Games Forbidden By The Church

It is said that ther’s 7 games which are prohibited by the church and one of them is called: The Red Book.

It may seem like a joke, some people will laugh at the subject, but the truth is that this game is actually very dark and if you don’t play with due respect, you could get into serious trouble. Many people describe it as the game of life and death.

But how hazardous could a book be? A simple book that anyone could have at home. However, the real danger is the game itself. The rules are very easy, but first, it’s recommended to play accompanied by at least one or two more people. And if you’re too sensitive, better not try to play it.

Rules of The Red Book

Rule 1

An old red hardcover book is needed. The less information there is on the cover the better.

Rule 2

Get a candle of the same color.

Rule 3

Put the red book on the table and only by candlelight. No spotlights should be on.

Rule 4

One of the players must put his or her left hand on the closed book. The player must pronounce: “Red Book”, and proceed to ask a question. It’s important to have eyes closed for it to work correctly.

Rule 5

With the left hand and the eyes still closed, the player must pass his or her fingers between the pages randomly and should stop on one of the sheets. Then the player will lay a finger somewhere on the sheet, open the eyes and read the segment until there’s a period. That will be the answer to the question.

Sometimes the answers may not make any sense, but that could be because the question was poorly formulated or because there’s no spirit present into the book. If the answer is consistent, it means the game has started.

Rule 6 (Last and most important one)

Say goodbye to the spirit before concluding the game. The player must ask the spirit in a respectful way to leave.

Warnings

Although it seems like a childish and innocent game, to play The Red Book is actually very similar to the Ouija because in both cases, questions are made and a spirit can answer them. The advice of many specialists on the subject is to never play the Red Book, and if so, to be cautious when playing it. It should not be forgotten that the book is not the one answering the questions, but rather some entity who awaits to be invoked and when that happens, a portal opens. That’s why the last rule is so important.

8 Dark And Disturbing Cartoon Theories That Will Creep You Out

Many of us are happy to believe that our favorite childhood cartoons are totally innocent. However, there are some dark theories that try to prove what is hidden behind the cartoons.

Pokemon

In the first episode, the life of Ash, the main character, seems quite normal but then, he has an accident while riding his bicycle.

He wakes up from the accident and suddenly his world changes. Ash begins to travel the world and has fantastic adventures which involves training and fighting against peculiar creatures that are called Pokemon. However, there’s a curious twist. No matter which new city he visits, the same nurse always shows up.

The theory goes that Ash never actually woke up from the accident and fell into a coma instead. Subconciously, he created the world of Pokemon in his head.

Rugrats

Angelica is the only girl that actually existed. Everyone at the cartoons are babies and it is said they are a product of her imagination. The story goes that Angelica is sad and alone because her mother works so much and doesn’t have time for her.

That’s when her began to imagine lifeless babies were her friends. That’s why she is the only one who can speak to them. She was very happy when her cousin, Tommy Pickles was born because she would have someone to play with, but unfortunately he lost his life shortly after birth. The reason why Tommy’s father, Stu, never leaves the basement is because of that. He stays there making toys for his child that will never be able to play.

Chuckie passed away in a car accident along with his mom, and for that his dad is always paranoid most of the time just like Chuckie, who is a bundle of nerves at the cartoon.

Regarding Phil and Lil, there were never two brothers in the first place but only one baby who wasn’t born. Angelica never knew if the baby was going to be a girl or a boy, so she came with the idea of twins of different genres.

Ed, Edd n Eddy

There’s a very popular theory that Ed, Edd, n Eddy are actually ghosts and stucked in purgatory. This could explain why there are no adults on the show, why the series seems to take place in their little dead end and the reason they have blue tongues (tongues can turn bluish upon death).

The children in the cartoon are from different time periods, but they have in common that they passed away in the same neighborhood.

Garfield

This is a heartbreaking theory which assumes that Jon and Odie don’t exist. Garfield is a homeless cat who is actually starving and is only picturing Jon and Odie. There was a reference to this in a Halloween-themed comic. Garfield woke up in an abandoned house and started calling Odie and Jon, but there was no answer. He then goes crazy and continues having illusions about the family that he never had.

Hello Kitty

Legend has it that this cute kitten was created in 1970 by a Chinese woman. Her daughter was diagnosed with mouth cancer. Doctors informed the mother that nothing could be done for her daughter and was going to leave very soon. The woman was devastated but unwilling to let her go.

The woman started to visit many churches, prayed over and over for a miracle and made many promises. Nonetheless, her daughter’s condition was getting worse every day. It seemed that nothing could save the little girl. The distraught mother decided to take her last resort and made a pact with the devil.

In order to save his daughter’s life, the devil only asked for one thing. The mother must create a character that was famous worldwide. Satan wanted to attract as many people as possible and gain new followers who would do everything for him. By buying this character, it would be an involuntary way to say “yes” to the evil one.

This is why the cat was designed without a mouth as a symbol of the girl’s cancer. The name was in honor of the devil because the word “Hello”, is a typical greeting and “Kitty” in Chinese means “demon”. So, “Hello Kitty” is actually a way to say “Hello Demon”.

The Fairly OddParents

It is said that Timmy has schizophrenia and his magical godparents are a representation of antidepressant medicine. They are there to help him with his problems but only until he no longer needs them. Also, not only did they started to appear at the same time as his problems but there are some serious side effects every time he abuses of their magic.

Minions

A rather awful theory alleges that the adorable yellow Minions were inspired by Jewish children adopted by Nazi scientists for the sole purpose of using them in gas experiments. There’s a picture that tries to represent some of those children wearing masks used to dispense poison. It is rumored that the successful children’s film subliminally makes the public accept that ideology.

The Smurfs

It was speculated that the creator of the cartoon had made a pact with the devil to achieve success, so he dedicated the show to Satan. Also, the following are some coincidences found that can make you  think that this theory may be real.

The leader of the Smurfs is the only one who wears red clothes, as Papa Smurf represents the devil.

Though there are about 100 smurfs in the village, 7 of them are the main characters and ironically, they represent the deadly sins. Here are the names and which one represents each: Grouchy Smurf (Wrath), Greedy Smurf (Gluttony), Vanity Smurf (Pride), Hefty Smurf (Envy), Brainy Smurf (Greed), Lazy Smurf (Sloth) and Smurfette (Lust).

Gargamel seems to be the villain of the cartoon, however there’s this tale that says he was a kind of a monk and that he lived in a ruined church. He always tried to catch “demons”, that are the Smurfs, in this case. Also, the name of his cat “Azrael” is the same one as the Archangel of death.

Did you ever imagine there were such dark stories behind these cartoons?
