From Examiner: Stephen King has been planning to write a prequel to “The Shining” called “Dr. Sleep,” which follows little Danny Torrance as an adult. The entire purpose is to delve into demons that use people with The Shining to get into our world. Word came on July 30 that Warner Bros. also wants to revisit the story with a “Shining” prequel, about what happened in the Overlook Hotel before Jack Torrance tried to kill his family there.

The source, who remained nameless because they were not supposed to talk about it, said the studio has asked writer-producer Laeta Kalogridis (“Shutter Island”) and her partners Bradley Fischer and James Vanderbilt to work on a new story for the prequel.

THE SOAP FACTORY PRESENTS: THE HAUNTED BASEMENT 2012

THE SOAP FACTORY PRESENTS: THE HAUNTED BASEMENT 2012

I can’t believe it’s already that time of year. Tickets are on sale already for the scariest haunted house in the mid-west. If you have not experienced this, I highly recommend it. It is an adults only house of horrors that requires you to sign a waiver before entering. There is also a safe word provided at the beginning of the tour in the event that you cannot take it and want to leave.

At every turn, visitors are faced with a grotesque perversion of the mundane, turning everyday actions into fresh terrors. With inspiration drawn from personal experiences and commonplace moments, The Haunted Basement is real life twisted on itself, pushing the boundaries of Art and Theatre. Each visitor is the protagonist in their own unique horror story, choosing between options and discovering how long they can last before their courage fails them.

Buy tickets here.

A new video produced by the City of Houston Mayor’s Office of Public Safety and Homeland Security teaches us how to survive an office mass shooting. The 6-minute PSA, titled “RUN. HIDE. FIGHT. Surviving an Active Shooter Event,” features actors staging a workplace shooting, while a narrator offers tips to viewers.

Sad that this is even a thing we need to worry about these days. Watch it. Good stuff.

SNOOP Dogg changes his name

Posted on July 31, 2012 | 1 comment

SNOOP Dogg

SNOOP Dogg has officially dropped the Dogg act and upgraded his name to “Snoop Lion”.

The rapper says he underwent a spiritual and artistic rebirth while in Jamaica where he was given the new moniker by Rastafarian priests.

“I didn’t know that until I went to the temple, where the High Priest asked me what my name was, and I said, ‘Snoop Dogg.’ And he looked me in my eyes and said, ‘No more. You are the light; you are the lion.’ From that moment on, it’s like I had started to understand why I was there.”

The 40-year-old said as a result of his reincarnation, his new album will be a reggae record as he finds rap no longer “a challenge.”

Oh boy, here we go. I am not high enough to understand this.

I don’t get this channel. DIRECTV is probably in a contract dispute with them…
