‘Time to Wake Up’ Turns a Two-Hour Dream Into a Psychological Horror Puzzle

Image
Released October 12th by developer Eye Blink Twice,  Time to Wake Up  blends dreams and memories into a potent cocktail of fear, offering an atmospheric psychological thriller for players to explore. After drifting off to sleep, Time to Wake Up’s main character , Alan, finds himself trapped in a dream he can’t wake up from. That’s unpleasant enough, except that’s not all. A voice drifts through the air like a sinister breeze, telling the player how much it likes their eyes, and not in a way that feels particularly complimentary.  Fortunately, the ocularly-focused voice seems willing to help Alan navigate this perplexing phantasmagorical maze. Although the voice doesn’t seem that happy to be here, it tells Alan that while he can get some shut-eye and pretend everything will be okay, it’s stuck in Alan’s “messed-up head.” Traversing memories through this dream’s twisting pathways exposes what made Alan’s head such a mess.  From a playground to a schoo...

Your Dog May Be Losing Sleep Because of You, New Study Suggests

Nothing beats your dog snuggling up with you in bed at night. Maybe you don’t let them in because you fear their midnight movements or heavy breathing will ruin your sleep. But a recent study in  PLOS One  by researchers at the University of Toronto and Duke University suggests you’re more likely ruining their sleep. Researchers strapped fitness trackers onto 25 humans and 38 huskies and malamutes over four weeks to measure who tossed and turned the most—dogs or their human bedmates. When a human and their pooch stirred in unison, the tracking data showed the person moved first 45 percent of the time. Dogs kicked off the disruption only 18 percent of the time. We humans are the fidgety sleep disruptors. Researchers Tracked Dogs and Their Sleeping Owners. The Humans Moved First More Often. What’s funny is that while about half of the participants complained in surveys that their pets ruined their sleep, especially the ones with multiple dogs, the sensor data showed th...

27 Years Ago, Scooby-Doo Spoofed ‘The Blair Witch Project’ (And It Was Actually Spooky)

Image
Scooby-Doo is one of the most recognizable IPs in entertainment, spanning generations. The various shows and films have woven themselves into pop culture in unique ways. Pamela Anderson played herself in the live-action 2002 film, but in 1999, Scooby-Doo paid homage to the most iconic found-footage horror film, The Blair Witch Project . The Blair Witch Project revolutionized the horror genre because it was the first of its kind to hit the mainstream. Instead of a polished Hollywood production, The Blair Witch Project had shaky handheld cameras and characters that felt like real people. It didn’t have a huge budget, but it proved that original ideas don’t need millions of dollars to work. The concept helped influence films like Paranormal Activity and Cloverfield . In 1999, Scooby-Doo spoofed the film by releasing The Scooby-Doo Project on Cartoon Network. It aired in segments on Halloween night during the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! marathon. The Mystery Gang M...

The Disturbing True Story of ‘The Exorcist’ Actor Who Became a Convicted Murderer

Image
William Friedkin’s The Exorcist hides a secret far more horrifying than any of the fictional behavior its characters show onscreen. For many viewers, the most disturbing scene in the movie was the one in which Regan (Linda Blair) has a bloody procedure known as a cerebral angiography performed on her. You may also recall the technician from this sequence being the only person who annoyingly pronounces Regan’s name “REE-gun”: Interestingly, the actor who played that part wasn’t an actor at all, but a legitimate radiology technician named Paul Bateson. Friedkin had watched Bateson perform the actual procedure in 1972 and invited him to be an extra in the film. However, when The Exorcist was released the following year, Bateson’s appearance likely wasn’t the subject of any water-cooler discussions, especially given all the head-spinning and green vomit people had to talk about. ‘The Exorcist’ Has a Real-Life Murder Connection You Might Not Know About That won’t b...

Grimes is Making Music For the End Times With Upcoming Pseudo-Religious AI-Apocalypse Album

Six years after her last album, Miss Anthropocene , Grimes has returned with a cinematic teaser for her highly anticipated upcoming album. The announcement of PSYOPERA arrived with elaborate visuals posted on Grimes’ Instagram, including a behind-the-scenes look at her shooting the video in IMAX. If Miss Anthropocene was a drop in the conceptual bucket, PSYOPERA looks like it’ll be the entire ocean. The visuals blend religion, AI, politics, war, totalitarianism, the internet, and more into a surreal, vibrant, disturbing onslaught of imagery. Additionally, the first single, “Accelerando”, dropped on October 9, 2026. Grimes has allegedly been working on new music since 2020, releasing several singles in that time. She also had two projects in the works, an unnamed album in 2021, and Book 1 in 2023. However, she put both on hold as she dealt with the “insane legal chaos” of her split with Elon Musk. But in April 2026, she had an insightf...
