Injustice 2 Pays Homage to ‘Freddy’s Dead’ With Rad Easter Egg

Published

Written by Patti Pauley

The sequel game to Injustice: Gods Among Us, Injustice 2, planted a kick-ass Nightmare on Elm Street easter egg inside the game that maybe only hardcore Fred-Heads will catch. However, in the case you are, which is probably why you’re here anyhow, you’re going to love this!

First spotted on the Newsline by ComicBook.Com, YouTuber Dynasty caught and uploaded the Freddy reference that throws back to Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare. With Robert Englund cast as the voice of the Scarecrow in the game, whispers of rumors circled for a while about a possible Kruger homage hidden within gameplay.

As YouTuber Dynasty points out, the characters of Freddy and Scarecrow do strike up a range of similarities between the pair by using their victim’s fears against them. So it was never really far fetched that the NetherRealm Studios game would slide in a little homage to the slasher icon Englund made legendary.  And yes, it 100% has to do with the Power Glove scene. DUH!

In fight mode, when you beat down the Scarecrow’s life bar to a specific amount of health, the character may utter those infamous words, “Now I’m playing with power!”  Which of course throws back to that cool as hell scene in Freddy’s Dead where Krueger controls Spencer through a video game, leading him to a pretty hilarious death that involves a portrayal of 100 of Spencer’s fathers’ 8-bit style, beating him to shit with tennis rackets. Check out the full rundown of the Nightmare on Elm Street easter egg in Injustice 2 below!

Baffling Footage of “Time Traveler” Captured on Ring Cam

Published

on

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.

I’ve literally watched this 1 million times and he never leaves. Where did he go? 😭👀

‘Violent Night’ Director’s Next Project is a Shark Movie

Published

on

Sony Pictures is getting in the water with director Tommy Wirkola for his next project; a shark movie. Although no plot details have been revealed, Variety confirms that the movie will start filming in Australia this summer.

Also confirmed is that actress Phoebe Dynevor is circling the project and is in talks to star. She is probably best known for her role as Daphne in the popular Netflix soap Bridgerton.

Dead Snow (2009)

Duo Adam McKay and Kevin Messick (Don’t Look Up, Succession) will produce the new film.

Wirkola is from Norway and utilizes a lot of action in his horror films. One of his first films, Dead Snow (2009), about zombie Nazis, is a cult favorite, and his 2013 action-heavy Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters is an entertaining distraction.

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013)

But 2022’s Christmas blood fest Violent Night starring David Harbour made wider audiences familiar with Wirkola. Coupled with favorable reviews and a great CinemaScore, the film became a Yuletide hit.

Insneider first reported this new shark project.
