The Week in WTF Real-Life Horror

Published

on

This is the latest installment of our weekly series about some of the crazy real-life horror stories from the week prior. We often cover these types of stories as it is, but this is kind of a round-up. It’s not necessarily a comprehensive look at all of the world’s horror of the week, but a collection of mostly oddball stories from across the web. Enjoy.

Horned Murderer Will See You In Hell

A man with horn implants was found guilty of murder (it’s always the ones you least suspect). He told the jury that convicted him that he’ll see them all in hell. I guess time will tell.

Uber Hammer Attack

When you turn to Uber for a ride, the last thing you probably expect is to get beaten in the head with a hammer. At least until now. This happened to someone, however, and the victim was reportedly found “slipping in and out of consciousness on the sidewalk, suffering from severe fractures and trauma to the head.” More on this here.

The Hair

Reports recently came out about a nine-pound hairball removed from an 18-year-old girl’s stomach. Thankfully, there are pictures! Believe it or not, they’re disgusting.

The Three-Breasted Sex Slavemaster

I’m sure you remember the three-breasted woman. As we knew, that was a hoax, but the story keeps getting more interesting. This past week, a teen said that she had kept him in a cage as a sex slave, and carved her name into his chest. Not sure what the hoax-level is on this aspect,  but either way, it’s a hell of a story.

Motherfucking Snake In A Motherfucking Rental Car

Travelers in Maine found a ball python in the trunk of their rental car while at a hotel. Unfortunately, Samuel L. Jackson was not present for comment. More here.

Spiders Are In Your Bananas

Let’s face it, if you eat bananas, you’re eventually going to find spiders in them. That seems to be the takeaway from the countless stories we’ve seen over the years. It happened again. A schoolgirl wanted to take a banana to school for a healthy snack, but once she went to eat it, she found a nest of spiders within. Gross.

Dracula’s Dungeon

So they found Dracula’s dungeon. More specifically, archaeologists found what they believe is Vlad the Impaler’s dungeon in a Turkish castle. More here.

The Dexter Killer

As iHorror’s Anthony Pernicka told us about the other day, a teenager killed and stored a girl in similar fashion to what has been depicted on an episode of serial killer show Dexter. Read his article here.

The Car Killers

A man in Indianapolis was hit by four different cars, including while trying to crawl to safety after being hit initially. That’s horrifying enough, but what’s truly disturbing about this is that not a single one of the four cars even stopped. The man died. Story here.

Georgia Chainsaw Carchase 

This isn’t quite as horrific as the title implies, but how could I not include it? Thieves being chased by police threw chainsaws at them while trying to get away.

The Potato Woman

A woman put a potato in her vagina as a contraceptive. Why? Her mom suggested it. Anyway, for one reason or another it stayed in there, and eventually sprouted roots growing into her reproductive organs. Naturally, she went to the doctor for abdominal pains.

The Foot Burrowers

A man was unaware a chigoe flea had burrowed into his foot skin until he was sitting on his bed, and felt one burst out. He then discovered hundreds of eggs. Story here.

The Fish With Human Teeth

And we’ll close with this terrifying fish with human-like teeth. Honestly, fish teeth are typically scarier than human teeth, but there’s something pretty creepy about a fish with choppers like a man. This isn’t the first time these things have been spotted, but I’m not sure that makes it any less unsettling.

‘Evil Dead’ Film Franchise Getting TWO New Installments

Published

on

It was a risk for Fede Alvarez to reboot Sam Raimi’s horror classic The Evil Dead in 2013, but that risk paid off and so did its spiritual sequel Evil Dead Rise in 2023. Now Deadline is reporting that the series is getting, not one, but two fresh entries.

We already knew about the Sébastien Vaniček upcoming film that delves into the Deadite universe and should be a proper sequel to the latest film, but we are broadsided that Francis Galluppi and Ghost House Pictures are doing a one-off project set in Raimi’s universe based off of an idea that Galluppi pitched to Raimi himself. That concept is being kept under wraps.

Evil Dead Rise

“Francis Galluppi is a storyteller who knows when to keep us waiting in simmering tension and when to hit us with explosive violence,” Raimi told Deadline. “He is a director that shows uncommon control in his feature debut.”

That feature is titled The Last Stop In Yuma County which will release theatrically in the United States on May 4. It follows a traveling salesman, “stranded at a rural Arizona rest stop,” and “is thrust into a dire hostage situation by the arrival of two bank robbers with no qualms about using cruelty-or cold, hard steel-to protect their bloodstained fortune.”

Galluppi is an award-winning sci-fi/horror shorts director whose acclaimed works include High Desert Hell and The Gemini Project. You can view the full edit of High Desert Hell and the teaser for Gemini below:

‘Invisible Man 2’ Is “Closer Than Its Ever Been” to Happening

Published

on

Elisabeth Moss in a very well-thought-out statement said in an interview for Happy Sad Confused that even though there have been some logistical issues for doing Invisible Man 2 there is hope on the horizon.

Podcast host Josh Horowitz asked about the follow-up and if Moss and director Leigh Whannell were any closer to cracking a solution to getting it made. “We are closer than we have ever been to cracking it,” said Moss with a huge grin. You can see her reaction at the 35:52 mark in the below video.

Happy Sad Confused

Whannell is currently in New Zealand filming another monster movie for Universal, Wolf Man, which might be the spark that ignites Universal’s troubled Dark Universe concept which hasn’t gained any momentum since Tom Cruise’s failed attempt at resurrecting The Mummy.

Also, in the podcast video, Moss says she is not in the Wolf Man film so any speculation that it’s a crossover project is left in the air.

Meanwhile, Universal Studios is in the middle of constructing a year-round haunt house in Las Vegas which will showcase some of their classic cinematic monsters. Depending on attendance, this could be the boost the studio needs to get audiences interested in their creature IPs once more and to get more films made based on them.

The Las Vegas project is set to open in 2025, coinciding with their new proper theme park in Orlando called Epic Universe.

Jake Gyllenhaal’s Thriller ‘Presumed Innocent’ Series Gets Early Release Date

Published

on

Jake gyllenhaal presumed innocent

Jake Gyllenhaal’s limited series Presumed Innocent is dropping on AppleTV+ on June 12 instead of June 14 as originally planned. The star, whose Road House reboot has brought mixed reviews on Amazon Prime, is embracing the small screen for the first time since his appearance on Homicide: Life on the Street in 1994.

Jake Gyllenhaal’s in ‘Presumed Innocent’

Presumed Innocent is being produced by David E. Kelley, J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot, and Warner Bros. It is an adaptation of Scott Turow’s 1990 film in which Harrison Ford plays a lawyer doing double duty as an investigator looking for the murderer of his colleague.

These types of sexy thrillers were popular in the ’90s and usually contained twist endings. Here’s the trailer for the original:

According to Deadline, Presumed Innocent doesn’t stray far from the source material: “…the Presumed Innocent series will explore obsession, sex, politics and the power and limits of love as the accused fights to hold his family and marriage together.”

Up next for Gyllenhaal is the Guy Ritchie action movie titled In the Grey scheduled for release in January 2025.

Presumed Innocent is an eight-episode limited series set to stream on AppleTV+ starting June 12.
