I can certainly appreciate a good prank. Lordy knows with such garbage and negativity overcoming this planet in recent years, hell we welcome a good laugh! Bonus points if the prank highlights the horror genre with a beloved icon we all love dearly; and as a matter of fact a daycare in Jacksonville, Florida pulled a mighty nice Freddy Krueger prank on some unsuspecting kiddos in the middle of their Halloween party. Oh and no, you didn’t read that wrong- I did say Daycare. In the middle of spooky story-time, a man dressed as the villainous legend minus the fedora, jumped out of nowhere at the kids and possibly soiled some diapers in the process.

Well, since the video of the prank surfaced, it has gone viral and has an array of parents up in arms over the debacle. Many appalled parents are stating how inappropriate the stunt was, and has the daycare under fire from a lot of pissed off social media parental debaters. Many of the comments on the YouTube video calls for the parents to actually press charges and sue the Jacksonville daycare for possibly traumatizing some of the children.

Just a few samples of enraged individuals courtesy of the YouTube comments section:

 “This is honestly bothering me. I would like the name of the daycare so I can report them and the adults that allowed this to happen. When a parent sends their child to school they expect them to be safe and properly cared for. This completely shattered these children’s sense of safety and someone needs to be held accountable. I would seriously press charges if my child was involved. If anyone knows the name of this daycare please share.”

“Shameful! This place needs to be shut down!”

“Somebody should lose their job over this! I’d like to know who is going to be responsible to pay for the psychotherapy most of these children are going to need because of this very stupid prank!”

The daycare causing a shit-storm on the Interwebs, Shirley’s Victorious Learning Center, has stated the parents of the little ones enrolled were very much aware of the festivities and that they’ve received no complaints from them personally and that social media is taking the clip entirely out of context. In an interview with local Florida station ActionJax News , co-owner LaVeisha Burris explained that the clip (seen directly below) only showed the entrance and that the kids were hanging out and chatting with Mr. Krueger afterward.

Do you think it’s just a harmless prank and people are overreacting? Or, do you believe this was legitimately crossing the line. Let’s talk about this in the comments below!

It’s been three long years since Netflix unleashed the bloody, but enjoyable Fear Street on its platform. Released in a tryptic fashion, the streamer broke up the story into three episodes, each taking place in a different decade which by the finale were all tied together.

Now, the streamer is in production for its sequel Fear Street: Prom Queen which brings the story into the 80s. Netflix gives a synopsis of what to expect from Prom Queen on their blog site Tudum:

“Welcome back to Shadyside. In this next installment of the blood-soaked Fear Street franchise, prom season at Shadyside High is underway and the school’s wolfpack of It Girls is busy with its usual sweet and vicious campaigns for the crown. But when a gutsy outsider is unexpectedly nominated to the court, and the other girls start mysteriously disappearing, the class of ’88 is suddenly in for one hell of a prom night.” 

Based on R.L. Stine’s massive series of Fear Street novels and spin-offs, this chapter is number 15 in the series and was published in 1992.

Fear Street: Prom Queen features a killer ensemble cast, including India Fowler (The Nevers, Insomnia), Suzanna Son (Red Rocket, The Idol), Fina Strazza (Paper Girls, Above the Shadows), David Iacono (The Summer I Turned Pretty, Cinnamon), Ella Rubin (The Idea of You), Chris Klein (Sweet Magnolias, American Pie), Lili Taylor (Outer Range, Manhunt) and Katherine Waterston (The End We Start From, Perry Mason).

No word on when Netflix will drop the series into its catalog.

Scooby Doo Live Action Netflix

The ghosthunting Great Dane with an anxiety problem, Scooby-Doo, is getting a reboot and Netflix is picking up the tab. Variety is reporting that the iconic show is becoming an hour-long series for the streamer although no details have been confirmed. In fact, Netflix execs declined to comment.

Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!

If the project is a go, this would be the first live-action movie based on the Hanna-Barbera cartoon since 2018’s Daphne & Velma. Before that, there were two theatrical live-action movies, Scooby-Doo (2002) and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004), then two sequels that premiered on The Cartoon Network.

Currently, the adult-oriented Velma is streaming on Max.

Scooby-Doo originated in 1969 under the creative team Hanna-Barbera. The cartoon follows a group of teenagers who investigate supernatural happenings. Known as Mystery Inc., the crew consists of Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, and Shaggy Rogers, and his best friend, a talking dog named Scooby-Doo.

Normally the episodes revealed the hauntings they encountered were hoaxes developed by land-owners or other nefarious characters hoping to scare people away from their properties. The original TV series named Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! ran from 1969 to 1986. It was so successful that movie stars and pop culture icons would make guest appearances as themselves in the series.

Celebrities such as Sonny & Cher, KISS, Don Knotts, and The Harlem Globetrotters made cameos as did Vincent Price who portrayed Vincent Van Ghoul in a few episodes.
