A Movie Theater Once Tried to Promote ‘Iron Man 3’ and Accidentally Sparked an Active Shooter Scare

Image
The folks at the Goodrich Capital 8 movie theater in Jefferson City, Missouri, have some weird ideas for entertaining their patrons. For example, in May 2013, when  Iron Man 3  premiered, reports said a man walked into the theater wearing tactical gear and carrying guns. As it turns out, the theater hired the guy to give customers a little more bang for their buck. Not everyone realized that, however. “We had just finished watching Iron Man 3 . We’re just getting into the car when I spotted a man in full assault gear, carrying what appeared to be a modified M4 and 9mm on his side,” John Morlock, a retired Army veteran who suffers from PTSD, told ABC News . Morlock didn’t tell the police, but according to JCPD captain Doug Shoemaker, the department received a series of calls pertaining to the incident. As a result, officers believed they were responding to an active shooter investigation. The Time an ‘Iron Man 3’ Publicity Stunt Went Horribly Wrong The thea...

3 Scary Multiplayer Games Hosting Special Halloween Events This October

Image
Halloween is just around the corner, and while trick-or-treating, scary movies, and parties are on the agenda, you can also enjoy the spookiest holiday by joining a few friends in a co-op game. Here are a few macabre, if not downright scary, games to play with special events centered on All Hallow’s Eve.  1. ‘Dead by Daylight’ (October 13 – November 3) The annual Halloween event is back in Dead by Daylight , running through the rest of the month. Survivors can collect Void Energy by repairing generators, stunning the Killer with a successful pallet drop or skills like Blastmine, and smashing the Void Pumpkins scattered around the map. Killers can also accrue Void Energy by smashing the pumpkins, but they can also do so by downing and hooking Survivors or attacking Void Haunts. These ghostly creatures roam the map, rush Survivors, and reduce their movement speed on a successful hit.  Both Survivors and Killers can spend Void Energy. Either side ...

3 Video Game Characters From 2026 With Absolutely Heartbreaking Stories

Image
Video game characters often get put through the wringer. Sometimes it’s a first-person shooter whose protagonists have to fight countless enemies, a survival horror game where players are pitted against puzzles and phantoms, or a cozy farming sim where they have to wait six in-game days for a strawberry. Either way, tragic characters are far from rare in video games. Here are three characters from 2026 releases whose stories might inspire a few tears. 1. Zoe Ellis (Silent Hill Townfall) Like many a Silent Hill game that came before it, very few, if any, characters in the fog-shrouded world of Silent Hill Townfall are having a good time. Townfall is the franchise’s most recent addition, and while it differs from its predecessors with its Scottish island setting and shift to first-person perspective, it follows the established pattern of keeping its characters absolutely miserable. One character who suffers particular torment is Zoe Ellis. Zoe works as a nu...

3 90s R&B Hits That Taught Millennials How to Love, Even if It Hurt Sometimes

Image
In the 1990s, the rise of hip-hop led to the rise of R&B. At this point, R&B blended the beats and rhythms of hip-hop with soul vocals. 90s R&B artists created timeless ballads that guided millennials through their first experience with love. Love may hurt sometimes, and these R&B hits taught us how to really feel it. “Always Be My Baby” by Mariah Carey This song will make it hard not to think of a former lover. Even if you don’t have someone to miss, and many teenagers didn’t, this track almost made you wish you had someone to miss. Released in 1995, “Always Be My Baby” fell right in the middle of Mariah Carey ‘s dominance on the charts in the 90s. She earned an incredible 14 No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 during the decade. “Always Be My Baby” topped the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Chart in February 1996. Her fifth album, Daydream , generated three No. 1 hits out of five singles released. She’s ...

Did AI Really Delete This Reality Show’s Entire Season Weeks Before It Was Set to Air?

Earlier this year, an AI agent powered by Claude basically wiped out a person’s  entire company by deleting the code that made the business run . It was pretty funny. Sad, but funny. Well, it happened again, but instead of deleting vital code, an AI agent deleted an entire upcoming season of a TV show. According to reports from Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet , production company Mastiff gave an AI agent access to their servers while putting the final touches on The Challenge Sverige , Sweden’s version of the MTV reality show that feels like it’s been on the air here in the States for at least a century. ‘The Challenge Sverige’ Lost Its Entire Edited Season. Now It Has to Be Rebuilt. According to the Swedish publication, the AI wiped out the entire edited season just five weeks before it was scheduled to air on November 22. No backup was available to restore the files, so weeks of editing vanished into thin air thanks to an AI agent that is basically a...

World’s Oldest Shipwreck Discovered off the Coast of Turkey. Here’s Everything We Know.

A team of divers off the coast of Turkey found what might be the oldest shipwreck ever discovered, so they needed to check what was inside the large ancient jars the ship carried when it sank. Archaeologists from Akdeniz University, who published a preliminary report in the Journal of Maritime Archaeology , discovered a site nearly 100 feet underwater off Kekova Island. There, they found about 30 ceramic amphorae and three stone anchors belonging to a sunken vessel dating to 4,400 to 4,700 years ago. There’s not much of a ship to see in this shipwreck, as the wooden ship disintegrated long ago, but it still suggests a 33-foot vessel filled with ancient booze and olive oil. An Archaeologist ‘Nearly Fainted’ After Seeing What Was Left in These Ancient Jars Lead archaeologist Hakan Öniz described the site as a “time capsule at the bottom of the sea.” Is this time capsule filled with the usual time-capsule fodder? A newspaper from the day it sank? N...

Astronaut Who Walked on the Moon Says UFOs Are Actually Demons

Hollywood has given us all sorts of aliens over the years, from the little guy who wanted to phone home to the ones who vaporized the White House. But one of the few humans who’s actually walked on the moon has another explanation for what’s flying around up there, and it involves Satan. Charlie Duke, the Apollo 16 astronaut who became the youngest person to walk on the moon at 36, is now 91 and convinced UFOs are the work of the devil. “The Lord says what we’re seeing is real, but the devil can appear as an angel of light, the Bible says,” he told the Christian Broadcasting Network . And he’s been trying to convince people of this for years, with mixed results. Duke recalled discussing his theory at Rotary Club events, where “people were laughing me off the stage.” Eventually, he asked God to confirm it. His request was oddly detailed: If a businessman friend who never discussed UFOs brought them up the next morning, Duke wo...
