A group of TikTok-based ghost hunters is reportedly planning a charity paranormal investigation at a former RAF base in Lincolnshire, according to LincsOnline. The location is described as housing what is referred to as a 'mannequin graveyard,' which appears to be a collection of mannequins on the disused site. The event is being organized as a charity fundraiser alongside the investigation itself. Beyond the basic outline of the event, the source snippet does not provide additional detail about which specific RAF base is involved, what charity will benefit, how many participants are expected, or what paranormal activity, if any, has previously been reported at the location. The mannequin graveyard element is likely to generate atmosphere for the investigation, though no claims about specific paranormal occurrences at the site are present in the available material. The event reflects a broader trend of social media content creators bringing paranormal investigation into public fundraising spaces.

Lionsgate Brings Amazonian Cryptid Legend Boiúna to Theaters This October

Director Mike P. Nelson, known for his work on Wrong Turn, V/H/S/85, and Silent Night, Deadly Night, is bringing a new creature feature to theaters through Lionsgate. The film is titled Beware Boiúna and is set for a theatrical release on October 2. According to the source, the story centers on a medical mission deep in the Amazon jungle that goes sideways when the group encounters the Boiúna, described as a colossal ancient snake rooted in Amazonian legend. The Boiúna is a real figure in Brazilian and indigenous Amazonian mythology, often depicted as a massive serpent said to inhabit the region's rivers and waterways. Nelson reportedly ventured into the jungle during production, suggesting at least some location shooting took place in or around the Amazon. Beyond the premise, cast details, and other specifics are not included in the available source material. The film appears to be drawing on genuine regional folklore rather than purely invented fiction, which gives it a grounding in actual cultural mythology surrounding the cryptid.

Eli Roth's 'Ice Cream Man' Joins the Long Tradition of Killer Kids Horror

A new horror film from director Eli Roth titled 'Ice Cream Man' is drawing attention in genre circles, with a review from Bloody Disgusting describing it as a relentless entry in the so-called 'kidpocalypse' subgenre of horror. That subgenre centers on children as the primary threat, and according to the review, the film delivers non-stop carnage in that vein. The reviewer places it alongside established killer-kids titles such as 'Children of the Corn,' 'Village of the Damned,' 'Them,' and the more recent 'Weapons,' suggesting the subgenre has staying power and variety. The review notes that the concept works because there is something inherently unsettling about innocence transformed into violence. Beyond the general premise and tone, the source snippet does not provide additional plot details, cast information, or a confirmed release date. The film is attributed to Eli Roth, known for graphic and visceral horror, which aligns with the review's description of the film as high-carnage. Whether 'Ice Cream Man' adds anything genuinely new to the subgenre beyond its intensity is a question the full review apparently explores, but those details are not available in the excerpt provided.

A recent Tampa Bay Times feature highlights six locations in the Tampa Bay, Florida area that have reputations for paranormal activity. The article is framed as a guide for people looking for a frightening or unusual experience, suggesting these sites carry local legends or reported hauntings. Beyond the count of six locations and their general geographic area, the source snippet does not provide specific names of the sites, the nature of the reported activity, historical context, or witness accounts.

Whether any of these locations have been formally investigated or whether the claims rest on folklore and local legend is not addressed in the available source material.

Upcoming Horror Film 'Appofeniacs' Explores Deepfake Chaos and Its Deadly Consequences

A new trailer has dropped for 'Appofeniacs,' a sci-fi horror thriller described as a dark satire centered on artificial intelligence and deepfake technology. Directed by Chris Marrs Piliero, who is known for his music video work, the film follows a character named Duke who goes on what the synopsis calls 'a frenzy of reckless deepfake creations.' According to the film's description, his disregard for consequences sets off a chain of chaos and death. The movie appears to tackle the real-world anxieties surrounding AI-generated video manipulation, framing them through a horror lens. 'Appofeniacs' is scheduled for a theatrical release on October 2. Beyond the trailer and the basic plot outline, specific details about the cast, production company, or distribution remain limited in the available source material. The title itself appears to reference apophenia, the psychological phenomenon of perceiving meaningful patterns or connections in unrelated things, which fits the film's apparent themes around distorted and manufactured reality.

Blumhouse Reportedly In Development On Puppet Master Reboot, TV Series Also Possible

According to a report from Dread Central, Blumhouse Productions may be developing a reboot of the long-running Puppet Master horror franchise. The source cites a quote — though the snippet does not identify who made the statement or in what context — suggesting the project is in some stage of development. A television series component is also reportedly being considered alongside the theatrical reboot. Puppet Master is one of the more enduring franchises in low-budget horror, with roots going back decades through Full Moon Features. It is not yet clear what stage of development the project is in, who would be attached creatively, or whether any formal announcements have been made by Blumhouse. The report is being characterized as a rumor or early development tip rather than a confirmed greenlight. Fans of the franchise and horror audiences have seen similar reboots teased before, so until an official studio announcement is made, this should be treated as an unconfirmed report.
