SOMEWHERE IN TIME: ART BELL AND MY FINAL THOUGHTS



This video is somewhat appropriate for the time at hand.. Art Bell, dead at the age of 72 on a Friday the 13th in the spring month of April. This was Art, healthy and alive, waving us all a grand goodbye as a drone flew above his compound in the kingdom of Nye. Pahrump... The desert where he was king.

Initially when the death news was revealed, it was strange. For some reason I woke up around 2am on the East Coast. I fell asleep listening to Clyde Lewis and awoke to him lamenting that he was often the opening act for Bell but never met him.. and now Art Bell was dead.

I was in shock.. I hardly slept from that point and immediately tuned into Coast to hear Noory conduct open lines focusing on Art.

The emotion hit about 24 hours later when I realized just what we lost. Not only a legend, but quite honestly a maverick in industry.. a friend.. someone who comforted us during some of the worst times in history. Someone who had human emotions himself, contemplating suicide after the death of Ramona.. someone who is a father of a new baby.. someone who gave us amazing nostalgic memories in only a style he could. Someone who re-branded 70s and 80s era music as a bumper to his program, complete with the WAV file of the thunder crack that he recorded himself.

His final drone video, featured with this post, fills not only me bit also fans with heartache and joy.

He was famous for not knowing if he would enter the light.. if he would think of it as a bug zapper or if he'd just brave it and figure out the afterlife in the same style he tried to question our current reality.

I post this with tears at this moment. Anyone who grew up with him listening nightly on old fashioned radios or new fangled smartphones have the same appreciation. He took us beyond where we exist.. he took us to the limits of time and space. Was he hokey at times with Mel's hole or fear of the Oiujia Board? Absolutely. But that is what made it all better. The fact we never knew.. the fact he was neutral. Sure, you can get a sense of his thought from the tone of his voice. But boy oh boy.. you just never knew for sure..

And now things are done. Times have changed. There is no 'return to the airwaves.' Heather Wade will decide how MIDNIGHT tears into the night.. Keith Rowland will figure out what to do with his WEB version of events. Bellgab will figure out what's left to gab about in the absence of the man who spawned the site. And we will collectively contemplate his time and space on this planet.. and conjure up some thoughts of his travels as he now contemplates the next realm.

For he is gone.
And we are thankful we had him.




Surprise surprise: Yahoo and AOL just gave themselves the right to read your emails


....and yes... Deja Vue. They already gave themselves the right previously. Just making sure you know ..

;)


Oath, the media division of Verizon that runs both AOL and Yahoo, is unifying the privacy policy of its two giant legacy Internet brands. 

That means an updated set of privacy terms and policies for hundreds of millions of users. 

Now that online privacy has become a major issue post Zuckerberg grilling on Capitol Hill, it is all the more meaningful to realize what you're seeing...

When logged in to a Yahoo Mail account Friday users report that Oath notes that it has the right to read your emails, instant messages, posts, photos and even look at your message attachments. And it might share that data with parent company Verizon, too.




Emails related to your banking and financial transactions appear to be equally in the crosshairs of Oath's ad targeting engine.

There appears to be another big change for Yahoo users, too: Oath's previous mutual arbitration clause and class-action waiver has been updated and extended across the company's services to include Yahoo as well
Doesn't it seem during a time like this the best thing we could have is one last open lines.. hosted by Art Bell.. and the ability for us all to sit around the radio camp fire and tell tales long into the long.. Long into the darkness until the sun rises again. 
Yes.. that would be nice. . . 

Inquiring minds would love to know.. did Art go to the light, or avoid the big bug zapper in the sky!!

Heather Wade: I am in painful shock at the loss of my mentor in talk radio and my friend, Art Bell, today
Lionel: A hero. One of the most interesting talents in a cavalcade of boring.
Ian Punnett: He was always good to me
Whitley Streiber: He passed away peacefully in his sleep

RIP

Art Bell dead on Friday the 13th


Bell died at his Pahrump, Nev., home, Nye County Sheriff Sharon Wehrly announced in a Facebook post to the community. She described him as a “longtime resident” of the area and said an autopsy to confirm the cause of death would be performed later this week..

Art Bell dead at 72 on Friday the 13th

Fans across the word of the radio giant are overwhelmed with emotions at this hour. Art Bell, the legend of our time, has finally found an answer to his question of what happens when we leave this earthly dwellings.





Radio show host and long-time Pahrump resident Art Bell has died according to the Nye County Sheriff Department.  Bell was the original owner of the Pahrump-based radio station KNYE 95.1FM and was known across the U.S. and in Canada for his paranormal radio program, "Coast to Coast."  He passed away at his home in Pahrump at age 72.

With the history of Bell, perhaps Friday the 13th was actually the best time to meet a maker ... 
George Noory announced news during his Friday night Coast to Coast with his voice quivering..

Heather Wade surprisingly took off from Midnight in the Desert tonight.. this prior to the death being announced by the Sherrif..

George Knapp posted news online.. 

Clyde Lewis grieved on air during Ground Zero..

Ian Punnett and Dave Schrader also gave online condolences on the matter..

Punnet called into Coast to Coast AM last night commenting on the surreal nature of events... He relayed a brief story of how he was originally unsure if Art Bell even liked him as the Saturday host to begin with!

Whitley Streiber, arguably one of Art Bell's closest friends, was distraught when George Noory spoke to him last night. Streiber seemed shocked by the sudden nature of events, commenting that Bell seemed fine a day earlier when he spoke to him..

A law exists in the state that autopsies are performed on people who die in their homes. Same will occur in this case, it is reported.

Meanwhile, a slight scandal is developing between the Bell inner circle and the law enforcement from Nye County.. From the Midnight Facebook page:

The Nye County Sherrif was asked to NOT announce Art's passing by his wife, until an appropriate time. Airyn did not want the media exposure until she was ready. In fact some family members were not even notified. Why would Nye County Sherrif publicize Art's passing until the family was ready? They are a disgrace to the community and an assault to privacy. Those of us in Art's inner circle had a plan to inform the family and fans of Art's passing in an appropriate manner, and they took this away from us. Shame on Nye county sheriff department.

The Tweet to War! Backtrack today?

Donald Trump has said he never revealed when an attack on Syria would take place, in what could be a stunning reversal from Wednesday's warning to Russia to "get ready" for US missiles. 

 "Never said when an attack on Syria would take place. Could be very soon or not so soon at all!" he tweeted on Thursday morning. "In any event, the United States, under my Administration, has done a great job of ridding the region of ISIS. Where is our 'Thank you America?'." The latest volley from the US President came as the Kremlin claimed a special hotline for the US and Russian militaries to communicate about their operations in Syria was active and being used by both sides.

The life changing moments






This past week I learned that a truly wonderful person left this planet. She was a kind hearted who led her family through good times and bad.

I have had a bit of a writer’s block lately. I am going through a little bit of a transition myself.

The news couldn’t be more interesting. Donald Trump tweeting about FBI raids on his lawyer’s office due to a porn star scandal. How salacious can you get! A nude protester interrupting Bill Cosby’s trial! Mark Zuckerberg himself appearing before Congress to testify about giving away our secrets to third party companies and Russians! Disasters in the weather world! Major motion pictures! Winter storms!

And maybe it is just information overload.

I opened this post with a brief note about a friend, Kim, who passed away this week. When I met her my life was in a different place. Just after high school and a whole set of different people in my life than what exists now.

Seven year cycles.

There is a theory and belief among some that every seven years, your Chakra changes.

Seven seems to be the magic number. The time when your cells change. The time when your mind and spirit may as well.
0-7 Years – 7-14 Years – 14-21 Years – 21-28 Years – 28-35 Years – 35-42 Years – 42-49 Years – 49-56 Years – 56-63 Years – 63-70 Years – 70-77 Years – 77-84 Years

The period I am in now seems accurate:


From the thirty-fifth to the forty-second year, depending upon one’s personality and what one’s circumstances allow, one begins to feel a new restlessness. In some degree a desire to share whatever one has gained through life with others comes to the surface.

Thus we find many successful business men building libraries, or aiding colleges and the arts at this period in their life. What has been developed or realised can be taken to greater subtlety during this period. This is almost like unfolding something, perhaps similar to the way a flower unfolds a bud that has been developing in earlier phases of its growth. This is when we reassess the results of what we are doing externally in our life. Our relationships, careers, habits and the ways we interact are all put under scrutiny and modified or changed. It’s a time of facing up to what does and what doesn’t satisfy us.

You may reach heights or realisation and creativity not touched previously. The profound breakthrough of ones innate genius that emerges around this time will no doubt be expressed in some degree. However, whatever is attained or realised will be enlarged and synthesised in later periods.

Perhaps this is why the writer’s block is coming to fruition. The culmination of a change.. Our relationships, careers, habits and the ways we interact are all put under scrutiny and modified or changed. It’s a time of facing up to what does and what doesn’t satisfy us.

Indeed it exist like that.. a time when, in this seven year cycle, a mall indeed is also being taken away from our very existence……memories written on walls that now crashed down.



As the seven year cycle evolves…

Cosby show


NORRISTOWN, Pa. (AP) — A topless protester with "Women's Lives Matters" written on her body in red ink charged at Bill Cosby Monday as he walked into a suburban Philadelphia courthouse for the start of his sexual assault retrial.

The woman jumped over a barricade and launched toward Cosby but was intercepted by sheriff's deputies. She was taken into custody and led away in handcuffs.

Trump tower fire

Ominous signs in ominous times ..



The person who died was a resident of the building's 50th floor who had been taken to the hospital in critical condition, department spokeswoman Angelica Conroy told CNN.
The victim was a 67-year-old man who was unconscious and unresponsive when firefighters pulled him out, the New York Police Department said, adding the medical examiner's office will determine the cause of death.
The fire was contained to the 50th floor of the tower, located on Fifth Avenue in New York. It was ruled under control around 9 p.m., about two hours after it was originally reported, the FDNY said in a tweet.

DAILY BEAST reviews the ENDLESS


NICK SHAGER WRITES,

The Endless is, in one sense, about a crazy UFO sex cult situated in rural California. It’s also, however, a rumination on rebellion, the cyclicality of life, and the dangers of becoming trapped in corrosive, repetitive patterns of thought and behavior. Moreover, it functions as an intricate portrait of the ties that bind siblings, and the way those familial bonds can both hold us back—from finding ourselves, and a place in this world that we can call home—and set us free.
And it also features a demon god that may or may not be malevolent.

Trump will skip the White House correspondents dinner for the second year

MORE..

“The White House has informed us that the president does not plan to participate in this year’s dinner but that he will actively encourage members of the executive branch to attend,” Margaret Talev, president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, said in a statement on Friday.

The White House press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, plans to appear in Mr. Trump’s stead.

BACKPAGE.COM IS NOPAGE..

Federal law enforcement agencies have seized Backpage.com, a controversial classified-ads website known for its numerous sex-related postings.

“Backpage.com and affiliated websites have been seized,” said a large notice plastered on the site. The action was led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and Internal Revenue Service and included participation from state authorities.


Backpage, already the subject of multiple criminal probes, has become a lightning rod for critics of websites accused of turning a blind eye to sex trafficking. It has galvanized lawmakers to pass a law limiting the immunity of websites for the actions of their users.

FAMILY REUNION! MENENDEZ BROTHERS BACK TOGETHER AGAIN

For the first time in more than two decades, the Menendez brothers are back in the same place — a housing unit at Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility outside San Diego, where the inmates are “able to interact with one another as they pursue rehabilitation opportunities,” corrections department spokeswoman Terry Thornton told The Washington Post.

Lyle, now 50, was transferred in February to the prison, where his brother had been for years, Thornton said. Then on Wednesday, she said, Erik, 47, was moved into the same housing unit at the prison where his brother is held.

It has been nearly 30 years since the Menendezes’ lives unraveled on a Sunday night in August 1989.

Authorities said the two brothers had bought two 12-gauge shotguns and two movie tickets for “Licence to Kill” — their alibi, according to the Los Angeles Times. 

Police said the brothers opened fire on their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, as the couple watched TV in the library in their Beverly Hills home...

The crime would go on to become a media feeding frenzy and global sensation as the Reagan era ended and the 1990s began..

There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage, according to law enforcement and fire agencies across Southern California.

ZUCKERBERG ADMITS: 2 BILLION USERS HAD THEIR PERSONAL INFORMATION SHARED

Sharing is caring in the slums of the socials.

The INTERNET is enraged over what it knew in the back of its collective head since TIME mag named Mark Zuckerberg their person of the year..

Facebook said Wednesday that most of its 2 billion users likely have had their public profiles scraped by outsiders without the users' explicit permission!

The acknowledgment was part of a broader disclosure by Facebook on Wednesday about the ways in which various levels of user data have been taken by everyone from malicious actors to ordinary app developers.

"We’re an idealistic and optimistic company, and for the first decade, we were really focused on all the good that connecting people brings," Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg said on a call with reporters Wednesday afternoon. "But it’s clear now that we didn’t focus enough on preventing abuse and thinking about how people could use these tools for harm as well."



IN THE MEAN TIME.. TENDER TIME WITH TINDER GOES HAYWIRE THANKS TO FACEBOOK PROBLEMS!


When logging into Tinder using Facebook, you get a prompt that says the app “requires you provide additional Facebook permissions in order to create or use a Tinder account.” “This information is used to create fuller profiles, verify authenticity and provide support,” the pop-up reads. After pressing “Ask Me,” the app directs you to Facebook’s site to log in. Tinder then asks you to hand over “relationship interests, work history, and education history” from Facebook. Once you tap “Continue” in the Facebook app, you’re taken back to the Tinder app, where you will either see a loading “Logging In” icon or an error.

Police didn't notice anything weird about the YouTube Shooter

Eleven hours before she shot up YouTube headquarters and then killed herself, Nasim Najafi Aghdam chatted with police.

It was 1:40 a.m. Tuesday, and Aghdam was hundreds of miles away from home. Police found her car overnight at a Mountain View parking lot, about 30 miles southeast of YouTube headquarters.

A quick check of her license plate revealed the owner had been reported missing from the San Diego area.

"We contacted the woman inside the vehicle, who was asleep, to check on her and to determine if she was the same person who had been reported missing," Mountain View police said.

They obviously were not aware of her videos..

NOW YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ALREADY KNEW: FACEBOOK IS READING YOUR PRIVATE MESSAGES


No surprise here.. anyone who acts like this is the first time they heard it needs their heads, or private messages, examined. Oh wait.. Facebook already examined them.

Facebook Inc. scans the links and images that people send each other on Facebook Messenger, and reads chats when they’re flagged to moderators, making sure the content abides by the company’s rules. If it doesn’t, it gets blocked or taken down.

The company confirmed the practice after an interview published earlier this week with Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg raised questions about Messenger’s practices and privacy. Zuckerberg told Vox’s Ezra Klein a story about receiving a phone call related to ethnic cleansing in Myanmar. Facebook had detected people trying to send sensational messages through the Messenger app, he said.

“In that case, our systems detect what’s going on,” Zuckerberg said. “We stop those messages from going through.”

The current debate has shifted from the private message links and photos to the bigger question: What ISN'T Facebook reading? ... 

You can most likely deduct the answer using reasoning and common sense.

HEATHER WADING INTO DANGER: ART BELL RESPONDS

Heather Wade announced that she was going to go to Area 51 this coming June.. People have been responding fast and furious, with some stating she is in danger of being arrested--or even killed!

Talk show legend and original MIDNIGHT IN THE DESERT host Art Bell is responding in kind to people on Facebook..

What Heather is doing is a brave act. For all my life people have talked Disclosure and talked and talked. I have no illusion that she will get to any Alien anything but at least she feels the need to do something, anything to move beyond talk and raise the stakes in trying to get to the truth. If we have been visited (and I believe we have) we have a right to know. It seems to me we have a moral right to know, will it change people’s basic faith? Not any more than the Pope suddenly being quoted as saying “There is no Hell”. We have a right to know, she is right and if a act of Civil Disobedience helps I am all for it.

On acts of civil disobedience..

Not much has ever happened in America until people have engaged in some act that ended up with jail or a sore head

On whether he would join..

I completely understand what she is doing and why, if I was younger I would join. I guess if you really want change you have to do more then ask

When asked about the famed pilot who called into his show while flying directly into Area 51 in the 1990s,

They don’t know when she is coming, like I have said I have no illusions that she will meet any Aliens or even get close, I think it just makes the point that talking won’t get it done, I feel we have a right to know and have always hoped it would be before I go...

YOUTUBE SHOOTER DEAD

A woman opened fire at YouTube's California headquarters Tuesday afternoon before dying of a gunshot wound, multiple law enforcement sources told NBC News.

Multiple injuries were reported.

 It wasn't immediately known whether the woman killed herself or was killed by responding security or law enforcement officers.

Shooting at YouTube headquarters!

A spokesperson for Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital confirms they're receiving patients from the shooting at their facility. They added patients are also being transported to other Bay Area hospitals.

SKY7 is over the campus, where law enforcement were seen approaching the building with guns drawn. Employees were evacuated with arms overhead, and the campus is flanked with dozens of police cars and emergency vehicles.


A law enforcement source confirms to ABC7 News reporter Dan Noyes that the shooter is a white, adult female wearing a dark top and head scarf.

The new Andre the Giant documentary is criticized for being more one of the WWE

Andre The Giant was literally larger than life in appearance but also in pop culture. He helped define 1980s profeessional wrestling..  That is why lots of fans were excited to hear that the WWE and HBO teamed up to do a documentary on his life.





https://uproxx.com/prowrestling/andre-the-giant-documentary-hbo-review/ ....BUT A REVIEW BEING WRITTEN MAY NOT LEAD MANY TO LOOK FORWARD TO THE TREATMENT. </a> Brandon Stroud laments that the documentary ends up being a story of the WWE Giant as opposed to the human being Andre..
The money quote:

Ric Flair shows up for the first time about 26 minutes in just to make a dick joke. At times, it’s exactly right. It’s maybe never as right as when Vince and Hulk spend about two solid minutes doing impersonations of Andre’s farts.At the same time, the “winner writes the history” version of WWE storytelling is heavy. Heavy. You’ve got Vince McMahon explaining how he took over the territory system by announcing that his product was “vastly better,” with no argument or even a conversation. It was just accepted as fact. Hulk Hogan’s the guy they go to when it’s time to talk about how Andre hated Macho Man Randy Savage, because of course he is, and at one point the documentary straight-up almost becomes a Hogan doc. They push Andre aside to explain Hulk Hogan, which takes time, but in fairness is somewhat necessary for the non-wrestling fan viewer to grasp the big WrestleMania III part. Hogan is there to talk about himself, wearing a Hogan’s Beach T-shirt. WrestleMania and how great WrestleMania is dominates the second half of the film. Mean Gene Okerlund is there to explain how he’d never seen anything as great as WrestleMania!

So, that’s what we try to share,” Stephen Enriquez, a state education specialist in San Antonio, told Fox affiliate KABB. He visited a school to warn parents and teachers not only about drugs and alcohol but also about these social media challenges, according to the station.

David Harbour answered questions from the mostly teenage audience at Indiana Comic Con and admitted that he didn’t think the massively popular Netflix show would be successful when he first started playing Chief Jim Hopper two years ago.

“Season 3 is set in the summer, so right out of the gate that’s a big difference,” Levy told Variety at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood. “The first two seasons were very much school-based. This is that time of year where it’s not about school, it’s about the swimming pool and campfires and parades and Fourth of July and fireworks, so there’s kind of a poppy fun to Season 3 that’s really enjoyable before things inevitably turn super dark.”

THE APRIL FOOLS ON EASTER







Faces of demons howl in the night..

comfort of blessings on an Easter at night.

April has fools and hounds of Hell..

the pope can close some things but torment still swells.

Farewell, Tiangong-1: Chinese Space Station Crashes in Fiery Finale Over South Pacific

Developing.

It crashed. 

Most burned up before t narrowly missed an island paradise .. 





And let's be honest.. how creepy

It appears that at around 8:15pm ET, Tiangong-1, Chinese for "Heavenly Palace", the failed space station, crashed in the South Pacific near Easter Island off the west coast of South America.

ON EASTER.

THE EASTER POEM



Easter feeling upon us.. The cherry blossoms bloom.

Grass is getting greener.. The April dangers loom.

Bunnies hop all over, dropping off their treats.

The powers pick up weapons, often non-discreet.

It is the Easter season, it should be filled with hope.

But with war and bombs and threats all over,

we can hardly cope.

HAPPY EASTER 2018!



Even if the Pope closed hell, Easter songs play on..

For those who worship, Happy Easter.


EASTER

Tiangong-1 window: 3pm April 1st through 5am April 3...

Despite the strange black smoke seen in the sky tonight after parts of the Pennsylvania Turnpike, it appears that the Chinese satellite is still on a collision course for TOMORROW..

Experts have revised the time the Tiangong-1 Space Station is due to crash.

Their latest forecasts have it down between 3pm tomorrow and 5am Tuesday morning.

They will continue to refine the expected impact time.

The promise is now that by tomorrow, experts should also be able to give the public an idea where the impact zone about 5-7 hours prior to impact.

When the sky falls

I am not saying this is the satellite by any stretch of the imagination... but when the Tiangong is poised to hit earth somewhere in my latitude zone, it’s alarming to see  bright flashes and black smoke streaks in the sky.  

These images were about taken about 30 miles away from Marlton NJ in my travels back to Pennsylvania from an early Easter dinner 

Talk amongst yourselves.. 




















The April fools Easter crash

THE out-of-control Chinese space station heading for Earth this weekend is expected to put on a "splendid show", according to experts.

The Tiangong-1 space craft is expected to tear across the sky - similar to that of a meteor shower - once it plummets into the Earth's atmosphere somewhere between today and Easter Monday.

All eyes on the sky.. 




The future is now: Mind reading here

Here we go.. whether you like it or not. If you say you do well, we will be able to figure out if you really do.

Mind reading is here.. 

Scientists have developed an astonishing mind-reading machine which can translate what you are thinking and instantly display it as text.

They claim that it has an accuracy rate of 90 per cent or more and say that it works by interpreting consonants and vowels in our brains.

Study leader David Moses told the Sun: 'No published work has demonstrated real-time classification of sentences from neural signals.

'Given the performance exhibited by [the machine] in this work and its capacity for expansion, we are confident in its ability to serve as a platform for the proposed speech prosthetic device.'

Pretty Funko: Coming this June, horror cereal!

In an interview with the Coronado Eagle & Journal, Funko founder Michael Becker reported  that this Summer will see the launch of a brand new line of Funko Cereal that includes licenses that are part of the company’s POP! line.




First up: Freddy Krueger, Elvira and Beetlejuice.. 

More..

“One of the fun things is we are about to release our own line of cereal, with a mini-Pop inside,” Becker explained. “We got all the cool licenses like He-Man, Wonder Woman, Elvira Mistress of the Dark, Freddy Krueger and our own Freddy Funko. We start shipping to stores in June and we have the distribution set up and the product is pre-sold. It’s just one more of those feel-good Funko items.”

Looking forward to Freddy. The little HorrorReporter Ayden sans Cuphead. And the He-Man statement has me a little curious as to the future of my breakfast table..

Is Heather wading into danger at Midnight?

Last night on MIDNIGHT IN THE DESERT, host Heather Wade announced that she plans on breaking into Area 51 this June and is asking for volunteers to go with her..
MORE: It is a criminal act and poses danger to life and limb to cross the barrier at the gate..

ART BELL posted on Facebook last night, "All I know for sure is she is a truly determined Woman and no amount of talking is going to change her mind. I truthfully say the same thought has crossed my mind over the Years but the thought of Arrest or worst case getting shot always stopped me. She has Cajones"

Bell went on to reply to a comment asking if he would also go, "No, I will stay here to fill in if she needs it and my guess is she will, Area 51 Invasions are for the young."

The decision came after a television broadcast in which Mr. Nix was recorded suggesting unseemly practices to influence foreign elections...















MONDAY MARCH 19 2018








Sources say the streaming giant is ponying up as much as $350,000 an episode for each of the show's adult actors...
Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, and Caleb McLaughlin, the show’s young male stars, are set to make more than $150,000 per episode, according to the report. Millie Bobby Brown, considered the breakout from the first two seasons, is reportedly earning more than three boys.. All four reportedly earned $30,000 per episode for the first two seasons. The two main adult stars, Winona Ryder and David Harbour, are now set to make more than $200,00 per episode, according to the report..



DANNY MCBRIDE promises his alternate HALLOWEEN movie will reference other films.. MORE: That means that even Halloween II, which takes place on the same night and picks up immediately after the end of the first film, is not part of what McBride is calling an "alternate reality" for the franchise. It's a somewhat risky move considering the franchise's long history, but like Disney's decision to wipe the slate clean with the Star Wars Expanded Universe, it offers up a new world of possibilities for the creative team...
..
McBride and Green's film will be set 40 years after the original and return to Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) — who's now a mother and grandmother — as Michael Myers reappears in her life. How the film will address Michael's disappearance and the 40-year gap between stories (something the other films have never had the chance to try) is still a mystery, but that means Laurie's days as a teacher living under an assumed name with her son (as in Halloween H20) no longer count, and neither do the stories about Laurie's daughter Jamie (as in Halloween 4 and 5), which were already rendered non-canon by later sequels..


This is going to be G R E A T ! ! ! A horror movie from Shawn Levy and James Wan! .. MORE: The minds behind The Conjuring and Stranger Things are coming together for a new YA-based horror film. According to Deadline, James Wan and producer Shawn Levy will be developing an adaptation of Stephanie Perkins’s novel There’s Someone Inside Your House for a coming-of-age slasher-style film. The book centers on a young girl named Makani Young, who, a year after moving from Hawaii to Nebraska to live with her grandmother, gets caught in the middle of something sinister when her friends start getting murdered in hideous fashion. While the killer is being pursued, Makani has to reckon with her own secrets, and according to the Deadline report, audiences can expect “1980s and ’90s slasher movie meets a John Hughes coming-of-age tale like The Breakfast Club.” So if you’re into Stranger Things and teen screams, this movie is for you...

STRANGER THINGS gets hit with #MeToo! In a statement, the Duffer brothers said, “We are deeply upset to learn that someone felt uncomfortable on our set. Due to the high-stress nature of production, tempers occasionally get frayed, and for that, we apologize. However, we think it is important not to mischaracterize our set, where we believe strongly in treating everyone fairly regardless of gender, orientation, race, religion, or anything else. We remain totally committed to providing a safe and collaborative working environment for everyone on our productions"..
