20 Horror Movies That Make Us Excited for 2017

The horror genre is alive and well and will probably live forever — so we all have a lot to look forward to next year, and the year after that, and so on, and beyond. But let’s just focus on 2017 for the moment, shall we? After a banner year for scary movies in 2016, seemingly packed with great features big and small, it seems like we might just have another impressive 365 days ahead of us. There are giant scary blockbusters and intimate thrillers, long-awaited sequels and ambitious reboots, and a heck of a lot more in store.

Although we’re about to take a good, long look at the 28 movies that currently have us excited for 2017, it’s important to remember that horror movies (usually) move quickly, and that the best horror film of 2017 might not have even been made yet. Innovative indies seemingly come out of nowhere all the time to throttle us by the neck, and even some of the most interesting studio products sometimes get made very quickly — so much, in fact, that there may be intriguing November and December releases that haven’t even been announced yet.

So in 2017, as with all years, we look forward to being surprised — but we’re also looking forward to these films too. They all have potential which we hope will be achieved. Let’s take a peek at what’s on the horizon, and let’s keep in mind that release dates and even the titles of these movies are subject to change. Okay?

Okay!

AMITYVILLE: THE AWAKENING (January 6th)

 They can’t delay this movie forever… can they? Bella Thorne, Cameron Monaghan and Jennifer Jason Leigh star as the latest family to move into the infamously haunted house, in a film that was supposed to come out in January 2015, then April 2016, and finally (we hope) in about a month. The AMITYVILLE franchise has needed a good kick in the pants for a while now — let’s all hope that these delays don’t mean disaster, and that this movie is exactly the AWAKENING this franchise needs.

UNDERWORLD: BLOOD WARS (January 6th)

Kate Beckinsale slips into skintight vinyl one more time for the fifth in the popular supernatural action series about a vampire who goes to war against werewolves, other vampires (and all the critics, who generally don’t seem to care for this franchise one bit). This time, Selene (Beckinsale) has to protect her daughter from enemies who want to use the child to make vampire/werewolf hybrids. You know.. the usual. Fans of this series expect slick action and not much else — and it looks like they’re going to get it.

THE BYE BYE MAN (January 13th)

“Don’t say it, don’t think it.” That’s a pretty cool mantra for a horror movie, and this one — about a supernatural serial killer who spreads like an idea, infecting anyone who keeps him alive in their thoughts — might just deliver the goods. It’s the latest from director Stacy Title, whose 1996 murder story THE LAST SUPPER is one of the most entertaining black comedies of the 1990s, and she might still have some tricks up her sleeve.

                                                

SPLIT (January 20th)

M. Night Shyamalan seems to have given big budgets a miss for a while and settled into smaller, high-concept thrillers where his unusual proclivities can be a selling point instead of a hindrance. It’s a strategy that worked wonders with THE VISIT, and it looks like he might have another hit on his hands with SPLIT — a thriller that stars James McAvoy alongside James McAvoy, James McAvoy, James McAvoy, James McAvoy and James McAvoy. Together they play a man with multiple personality disorder, who kidnaps three teen girls for a sinister purpose. McAvoy is always at his best when he’s unhinged, and Shyamalan is always at his best when he’s surprising us — so SPLIT could be a great collaboration.

People Who Talk To Themselves Aren’t Crazy, They’re Actually Geniuses

As it turns out, talking to yourself, is not only sane but it is also a sign of being genius.

Some of the smartest people on earth talk to themselves. Here is just one example.

Albert Einstein talked to himself. – Einstein.org reports that he “used to repeat his sentences to himself softly.

Talking to oneself is often associated with mental illness, especially schizophrenia, but it can also be a very positive and healthy behavior. In an article from Elite Daily, the author, Gigi Engle, discusses about how talking to yourself is a sign of genius.

She says, “The smartest people on earth talk to themselves. Look at the inner monologues of the greatest thinkers. Look at poetry! Look at history!”

Talking to yourself helps in the following ways:

*Talking to yourself makes your brain work more efficiently.
*Talking out loud to yourself helps you only when you know what you need.
*You learn as a child by talking to yourself.
*Talking to yourself helps you organize your thoughts.
*Talking to yourself helps you achieve your goals.
*It helps your self-esteem

Talking to yourself makes your brain work more efficiently

In one study, psychologists Daniel Swigley and Gary Lupyan hypothesized that talking to yourself was actually beneficial.

In one experiment, Swigley and Lupya gave 20 people the name of an object (like a loaf of bread or an apple), which they were told to find in the supermarket. During the first set of trials, the participants were bound to silence. In the second set, they repeated the object’s name out loud as they looked for it in the store.

Test subjects found the object with greater ease when they spoke to themselves while searching. Saying things out loud sparks memory. It solidifies the end game and makes it tangible. But talking out loud to yourself helps you only when you know what you need. In this case, speaking the object’s name out loud is helpful only when you’re familiar with its appearance.

After This Dog’s Best Friend Died, He Was Depressed For 2 Years But Then This Duck Showed Up

George the dog has been depressed for the last two years since he lost his best friend of 12 years, a Labrador named Blackie. However, last Thursday a friendly duck waddled into his life out of nowhere and snuggled next to the sad pooch as he was laying on the porch of this home in Tennessee.

“We have no idea where this duck came from but he sure does love George and since the duck has arrived George has not cried one time,” George’s owner Jacquie Litton wrote on Facebook. “It is strange for a duck to just appear at our house and be attached to your dog and even more strangely the anniversary week of Blackie’s passing.” Since that day, the two have been inseparable. The duck follows George everywhere he goes and the pooch is not so lonely anymore. He’s finally smiling again.

Bring Out Glorious Animal Characteristics By Doodling On Their Pictures

Animal Doodles is a series of different animal, bird images I found on Google and doodled my imagination on them.

One can find so many different patterns and textures in nature and especially on flora and fauna. This project celebrates animals and birds in all their glory by bringing out they beauty of their characteristics, behavior, colors and textures with doodles.

The idea was to experiment with doodles of tribal patterns on photographs of animals in the wild. I have always found inspiration in tribal art and off late in African patterns and designs specifically. My first doodle experiment was a Rhino for which I got a very good response on my social feeds and so I decided to make a series out of the experiment.

What started as a casual experiment on a bored evening as my first attempt doodling on images, left me with a newfound love for animals and illustration. Not only was it a satisfying creative experiment, but also an enriching learning experience. The doodles are digitally done using Wacom in Adobe Illustrator. Animals and nature inspire me.

Aliens Have Abducted Millions of Humans’ Claims Temple Professor

No need to look to the stars in our search for extraterrestrial life; aliens might already be here among us on Earth…Or at least that’s what retired Professor David M. Jacobs thinks.

According to Jacobs, extraterrestrial beings have been abducting and sexually molesting humans the world over for aeons, all to create a hybrid race of alien-humans who walk the earth unnoticed but will eventually take over the planet.

But Jacobs isn’t your typical UFOlogist. Tenured for 36 years as a Professor of American History at Temple University, Jacobs is a 71 year old intellectual-type who, according to Philly.com makes his case with “well-reasoned, articulate explanations and applies scholarly approach to his research which he has shared in four books- printed by well-known and academic publishers.”‘

_________________________________________________________________

Alien abduction and human hybrid findings are shared by Dr. David M. Jacobs, who has compiled vast information on the contact that generations of people have had with extraterrestrials interested in genetic intermingling with humans. How UFO sightings are more subjective than abduction, the mysterious goal of aliens living among us, and the ongoing programming and conditioning of visitor s on Earth are explored in this uncensored Buzzsaw interview, hosted by Sean Stone.

Dr. David M. Jacobs, Ph.D. is Associate Professor of History at Temple University specializing in twentieth century American history and culture. Dr. Jacobs began researching the controversy over unidentified flying objects in America in the mid 1960’s, and has amassed over 38 years of primary research data and analytical hypotheses on the subject.
In addition, Dr. Jacobs has lectured on the subject of UFO abduction at universities and colleges across the country. In 1989 he delivered the first paper to a scientific organization about the abduction phenomenon at Cornell University. In 1992 Dr. Jacobs participated in the first session on UFOs at the History of Science Society, Washington D.C. In conjunction with colleague Budd Hopkins, Dr. Jacobs conducted the widely discussed Roper Organization poll of the abduction phenomenon. The results of that highly influential survey were published in 1992 in the booklet, Unusual Personal Experiences.
Finally, Dr. Jacobs is a strong advocate of strict scientific and ethical research methodology. With colleagues Budd Hopkins and John Carpenter, he has given a series of workshops for members of the mental health community in the methods of abduction hypnosis, research, and therapy. In recent years he has concentrated on ascertaining the proper methodological techniques for the hypnosis and therapy of abductees. Hopkins’ and Jacobs’ revised “Suggestions for Hypnosis and Therapy of Abductees” was originally published in 1994. He is the author of Walking Among Us: The Alien Plan to Control Humanity.

New research proves marijuana users have lower cerebral blood flow than non-users

Lots of marijuana users for sure will not consider this research but, everybody at least need to know the information about.

Marijuana users have abnormally low blood flow in virtually every part of the brain, new scans reveal.

Sophisticated imaging of 1,000 cannabis users’ brains found all of them had widespread restrictions or build-ups of blood flow.

Many had abnormal blood levels in areas affected by Alzheimer’s disease, such as the hippocampus, told Daily Mail. 

UNITED STATES – The findings, published in the latest Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, are an ominous warning as the United States rapidly embraces recreational and medical marijuana legalization.

It comes just weeks after the White House’s surgeon general, Dr Vivek Gupta, warned legalization is moving faster than research.

The researchers at Amen Clinics analyzed data from a broad database including 26,268 patients across the US between 1995 and 2015.

The patients – from California, Washington, Virginia, Georgia and New York – all had complex treatment-resistant issues, and all underwent single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) – a sophisticated imaging study that evaluates blood flow and activity patterns while undergoing concentration tests.
