By Laura Evans for CBR.com The Final Girl has, in some ways, become just as iconic as the Slasher villains that populate the horror genre. Laurie Strode, Nancy Thompson, Sidney Prescott... the survivors of the monster reign of terror tend to rank among the most iconic heroines of 1980s cinema, including even Ellen Ripley and Sarah Connor to a degree. Yet among the survivors of 1980s horror classics, one particular Final Girl often goes overlooked, mocked, and spoken of with derision and disrespect if mentioned at all: Shelley Duvall's Wendy Torrance, the final (adult) survivor of the iconic 1980 horror film, Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. The Shining is loosely based on the 1977 Stephen King novel of the same name. The film is a departure from the book both in casting and focus, being more of a visual, visceral horror flick than the novel's more slow-burning psychological drama. Wendy is the mother of psychic child Danny and the wife of recovering alcoholic Jack Torrance (J...

DC Comics The most famous witch in the entire Sandman Universe is making a comeback, and she might just be the biggest threat the world has ever seen. By John Dodge for Comic Book Resources or CBR.com Over the years, the Sandman Universe has produced some of the most memorable characters to ever grace the comic book page. From Morpheus himself to the monstrous Corinthian, this fantastical world has something to offer fans of every ilk. Of course, there might not be any character who is both as beloved and feared by fans as Thessaly. This ancient witch has brought the whole world to its knees in the past, and it looks like she is poised to do so all over again. Unfortunately, this time it is happening entirely on purpose, and that bodes only the worst for everyone. While the eponymous heroes of The Sandman Universe: Dead Boy Detectives #1 (by Pornsak Pichetshote, Jeff Stokley, Miguel Muerto, and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou) are busy unraveling their latest mystery, another is brewing in a mak...

Staff Writer for Sahara Reporters In a viral video, the preacher is heard calling on the youths to attack his enemies and teach them a bitter lesson. Houses and foodstuffs estimated at over N200 million have been burnt allegedly on the orders of a Christian preacher, Emmanuel Nachamada Musa in Adamawa State. SaharaReporters learnt that the cleric, who is the President of Emnamu Foundation, a charity organization, at a crusade last week in Kala'a town in the Hong Local Government of the state, allegedly instigated congregants to kill and burn down houses belonging to perceived enemies and those practicing witchcraft in the community. During the crusade, some persons who were reportedly mentioned and identified as enemies of the preacher were allegedly accused of practicing witchcraft, following which some youths moved to their houses and set them ablaze. SaharaReporters learnt that no life was lost but at least three houses were burnt along with some shops and vehicles. In a viral v...

 

  Black Adam - Is a Bad Plan Better Than No Plan At All?  1 Out of 10 Brooms Oh DC and Warner Brothers, how do you waste this much talent on a boring script? I LOVE the Justice Society of America. It is one of my favourite DC Comics teams. I really am at a loss of words for how it could have gone so wrong. It's just startlingly lifeless.  I am glad James Gunn and Peter Safran are scrapping most of the DCEU, if this is what the petty fanboys are defending. Wow, just wow.... **SPOILER*** What a sad swan song for Henry Cavill....

 Krys'tal Griffin, Delaware News Journal “Am I a good witch or a bad witch?” ponders Aubrey Plaza as she saunters into the Carriage House at Rockwood Museum and Park, near Wilmington, draped in a matching red velvet cape and witch hat atop a black dress and boots. Plaza and her creative partner Dan Murphy, both Delaware natives, were met with about 300 faces Thursday morning as they took center stage to read and discuss their new storybook, “The Return of the Christmas Witch,” a sequel to last year’s debut from the duo called "The Legend of the Christmas Witch.” They held a similar event for their first book last winter at the Brandywine Hundred Library. After the pair’s second book reading and signing was announced late last week, over 300 people snatched up the free tickets in less than an hour. Although Delaware’s weather was dreary Thursday, the brunt of the storm held off for this A-list appearance, something those who were able to snag a spot at Thursday’s event might sa...

Leo Igwe - Sahara Reporters Opinion The Advocacy for Alleged Witches (AfAW) combats abuses linked to witchcraft beliefs and ritual attacks. One way it seeks to achieve this goal is to educate and enlighten Africans and get them to abandon illusions and misconceptions that drive witchcraft fears and anxieties. One is the notion that witches, defined as persons with magical or supernatural powers turn into animals and insects, and fly out at night as birds, or in witch planes and baskets. The belief is that these occult agents meet at covens where they suck blood and conspire to kill or harm other humans and their estate. Now do such meetings take place? Are there human beings capable of attending and participating in these spiritual and supernatural gatherings? This piece addresses these questions. The superstitious belief that witches meet is strong among Nigerians, nay Africans, including the educated ones. Through socialization or indoctrination, the belief that witches metaphysical...

The winter solstice is the shortest day and longest night of the year, marking the start of the winter season in the Northern Hemisphere By Skyler Caruso for People The winter solstice marks the shortest day and longest, darkest night of the year. Also known as the December solstice, the astronomical occurrence happens due to Earth's tilted axis of rotation in relation to the sun. So while the Northern Hemisphere experiences the start of the winter season, the Southern Hemisphere experiences the first day of summer. But have no fear, freezing earthlings north of the equator — there is a bright side! Every day that follows the winter solstice gradually gets longer. Simply put, the hours of daylight increase and mark one more day closer to summer. Don't think we forgot about the other two seasons! While the solstices signify the start of winter and summer, planetary scientists also use equinoxes to define the beginning of the autumn and spring seasons. The word equinox derives fr...

**Note - this is the "preacher" who has been reported to the IRS for political action on the pulpet. BY James Bickerton for Newsweek Pastor Greg Locke has increased security at his home in response to what he called threats "by a witchcraft-practicing psycho." Locke, who founded the Global Vision Bible Church in Tennessee, previously attracted controversy by calling coronavirus a "fake pandemic" and burning books from series such as Harry Potter and Twilight, which he claimed promote "witchcraft." On Monday Locke tweeted: "Tonight, my family was publicly threatened with death by a witchcraft practicing psycho. Extra security is at my home and a police report has been filed. Speaking truth makes enemies. I WON'T BE SILENT!!" The pastor didn't provide details on the exact nature of the alleged threat, or who he thinks it was made by. Newsweek has reached out for comment. In September 2021 Locke was permanently suspended from Twitt...
