Some physicists think that time travel is possible and in a recent social media story we might believe them. 

It all started when a homeowner named Alec Schaal checked his outside security camera remotely. He saw a young gentleman walking aimlessly around the yard seemingly looking for something. The trespassing individual with a backpack over his shoulder entered the homeowner’s tool shed and closed the door. It seemed like a simple case of unlawful intrusion. But as the homeowner reviewed the entire footage he noticed something strange and ended up calling the police.

It became a concern when the interloper never exited the shed. Worried, the homeowner had law enforcement check on the situation but the investigation turned up nothing: the stranger was nowhere to be found, he seemingly disappeared into thin air. 

That would have been the end of it, but what happened next is even stranger.

The next day, someone who looks like the first guy emerges from the shed but he appears 30 years older!! 

Since this weird story broke, Schaal’s TikTok has been blowing up and he has given several updates. Of course, some people are outright skeptical about the whole thing, while others want more proof which Schaal provides.

In the most recent update, Schaal says TikTok is trying to remove the story from his feed saying that it violates their guidelines about…gambling. He’s appealed but was declined.

Take a look at the videos for yourself and let us know what you think.

You might want to prepare yourself for some things if you plan to watch The Coffee Table now rentable on Prime. We aren’t going to go into any spoilers, but research is your best friend if you are sensitive to intense subject matter.

If you don’t believe us, maybe horror writer Stephen King might convince you. In a tweet he published on May 10, the author says, “There’s a Spanish movie called THE COFFEE TABLE on Amazon Prime and Apple+. My guess is you have never, not once in your whole life, seen a movie as black as this one. It’s horrible and also horribly funny. Think the Coen Brothers’ darkest dream.”

It is hard to talk about the film without giving anything away. Let’s just say there are certain things in horror movies that are generally off the, ahem, table and this film crosses that line in a big way.

The very ambiguous synopsis says:

“Jesus (David Pareja) and Maria (Estefanía de los Santos) are a couple going through a difficult time in their relationship. Nevertheless, they have just become parents. To shape their new life, they decide to buy a new coffee table. A decision that will change their existence.”

But there is more to it than that, and the fact that this might be the darkest of all comedies is also a little unsettling. Although it is heavy on the dramatic side too, the core issue is very taboo and might leave certain people sick and disturbed.

What’s worse is that it is an excellent movie. The acting is phenomenal and the suspense, masterclass. Compounding that it’s a Spanish film with subtitles so you have to look at your screen; it’s just evil.

The good news is The Coffee Table isn’t really that gory. Yes, there is blood, but it’s used more as just a reference than a gratuitous opportunity. Still, the mere thought of what this family has to go through is unnerving and I can guess many people will turn it off within the first half-hour.

Director Caye Casas has made a great film that might go down in history as one of the most disturbing ever made. You have been warned.

Producer and director Roger Corman has a movie for every generation going back about 70 years. That means horror fans aged 21 and older have probably seen one of his films. Mr. Corman passed away on May 9 at the age of 98.

“He was generous, open-hearted, and kind to all those who knew him. A devoted and selfless father, he was deeply loved by his daughters,” his family said on Instagram. “His films were revolutionary and iconoclastic, and captured the spirit of an age.”

The prolific filmmaker was born in Detroit Michigan in 1926. The art of making films swayed his interest in engineering. So, in the mid-1950s he turned his attention to the silver screen by co-producing the film Highway Dragnet in 1954.

A year later he would get behind the lens to direct Five Guns West. The plot of that film sounds like something Spielberg or Tarantino would make today but on a multi-million dollar budget: “During the Civil War, the Confederacy pardons five criminals and sends them into Comanche-territory to recover Union-seized Confederate gold and capture a Confederate turncoat.”

From there Corman made a few pulpy Westerns, but then his interest in monster movies emerged starting with The Beast With a Million Eyes (1955) and It Conquered the World (1956). In 1957 he directed nine movies that ranged from creature features (Attack of the Crab Monsters) to exploitative teenage dramas (Teenage Doll).

By the 60s his focus turned mainly to horror movies. Some of his most famous of that period were based on Edgar Allan Poe’s works, The Pit and the Pendulum (1961), The Raven (1961), and The Masque of the Red Death (1963).

During the 70s he did more producing than directing. He backed a wide array of films, everything from horror to what would be called grindhouse today. One of his most famous films from that decade was Death Race 2000 (1975) and Ron Howard’s first feature Eat My Dust (1976).

In the following decades, he offered many titles. If you rented a B-movie from your local video rental place, he likely produced it.

Even today, after his passing, IMDb reports that he has two upcoming movies in post: Little Shop of Halloween Horrors and Crime City. Like a true Hollywood legend, he is still working from the other side.

“His films were revolutionary and iconoclastic, and captured the spirit of an age,” his family said. “When asked how he would like to be remembered, he said, ‘I was a filmmaker, just that.'”
