Things somehow get even more disturbing in Look Outside Part 3. What starts as a desperate search for supplies turns into a nightmare as I stumble into an entire family infected by a horrifying tooth mutation—and their "baby". Was actually kind of sad.

Peeps this is a really weird thing to post but... the remake of Faces of Death might be one of the better horror movies of the year.

Okay I'm sure most people are at least vaguely aware of Faces of Death, the notorious schlock 1978 exploitation film that purported to be a collection of real footage of deaths "caught on camera." A legendary piece of the home media horror boom of the 1980s, it's cover loudly bragging about how it was banned in 48 countries (near as I can tell this was total bullshit, it wasn't even RELEASED in that many countries, but it was banned in the UK as part of their infamous "Video Nasty" list, New Zealand, Germany, and probably others, and was never carried by large video rental places like Blockbuster or Hollywood Video, but readily available in indie shops and bootlegs)

And as was well known by even the mid 80s... was totally fake. There's not one second of actual death footage in the original Faces of Death. It's 100% fiction.

But it was oddly effective. Something about its low quality, it's fake documentary "Here's what happened, no story, just here it is" style, and the then still novelty of VHS videos DID give it this weird, grimy "I shouldn't be watching this" feeling that anything more polished would have lacked.

I'm not gonna try to sell anyone on it, it's a piece of exploitative shock "I'm 13 and think this is edgy" crap, but as a sort of time capsule of that moment in horror and home video it's... a thing.

And the remake leans into all of that.

It follows a woman (Barbie Ferreira who absolutely OWNS this movie and after this and her run in Euphoria I won't be shocked if she's a big star a few years from now) who works for a social media platform approving and disapproving uploaded videos and starts seeing shocking, graphic apparently real death videos, all copies of the fake scenes from the old Faces of Death film.

And it's... good. It's tense, well paced, VERY well acted, and disturbing.

It's not perfect, the first half is definitely where you get your money's worth, it falls apart a little in second half, the part of the film where the girl is trying to track down the sources of the videos is gangbusters but it kind of loses steam when she actually finds and confronts the killer. And the killer is... a let down just second rate "Saw" knockoff. But it never turns outright bad and is still fully worth a watch.

Yes it's... very gory. You don't slap the "Faces of Death" name on something, even a meta-rebootamake like this one and phone in the blood and guts.

But... I really liked it. Take that for what you will.

Lionel Dahmer’s Story vs. The Missing Records

What if the ultimate "monster" of the 1990s was entirely manufactured?

In the attached video footage, Lionel Dahmer recalls visiting his son at Columbia Correctional Institution, anchoring a tragic family backstory that the public has bought into for over three decades.

https://reddit.com/link/1ump3og/video/zm5qhlcjq2bh1/player

But our investigation has uncovered a catastrophic flaw in this script: The state of Wisconsin has zero record of Jeffrey Dahmer ever being in custody—because his entire case wasn't a failure of bureaucracy. It was a highly orchestrated political hoax.

I’ve spent the last few months deeply investigating the official documentation surrounding the Jeffrey Dahmer case, and what I just uncovered genuinely defies explanation.

We all know the official script carved into public memory like scripture: Jeffrey Dahmer was arrested in 1991, sentenced to 15 consecutive life terms in 1992, and beaten to death by Christopher Scarver at Columbia Correctional Institution in 1994.

Case closed. Monster vanquished.

But as an investigator, I don’t look at the media narrative. I look at the paper trail. And when I ran standard public records requests under Wisconsin law to look at Dahmer's Adult Institution Case File and pre-trial logs, the paper trail didn't just run cold. It completely vanished.

Here is exactly what I uncovered.

1. The 10% Archive That Literally Does Not Exist

Wisconsin Public Records Law (Wis. Statutes 19:31 - 19:39) establishes strict transparency protocols.

Per the Wisconsin Department of Corrections (DOC), when a high-profile case file is closed, a mandatory 10% of the archives must be transferred to the State Historical Society for permanent preservation, while the remaining 90% is confidentially destroyed after 7 years.

I submitted public records request R038832-061125 for Dahmer’s complete Adult Institution Case File. When they claimed it was destroyed, I immediately followed up with records request case ID #534474, pushing for Termination File #432388 (the specific file number for Dahmer's closed status) directly from the Wisconsin Historical Society.

The response I received from the state historians was a total bombshell:

Read that again.

For the most notorious, historically significant “prisoner“ in Wisconsin history, the permanent archive is entirely blank.

No intake forms. No medical charts. No commissary logs. No visitor lists.

Nothing.

2. No Pre-Trial Detention Logs Either

I figured if the state prison records were somehow entirely lost to "bureaucracy," the county records from his initial arrest period (July 22, 1991, to February 17, 1992) would still be intact. During this time, Dahmer was reportedly held under the jurisdiction of the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office.

I reached out to the Milwaukee County Office of the Sheriff requesting his booking, intake, and disciplinary logs. The official response? “We have no records on file responsive to your request.”

We are looking at the complete, systemic erasure of what should be one of the most heavily documented incarcerations in American history.

The Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office response to my public records request for Jeffrey Dahmer’s pre-trial detention records. The office states: “we have no records on file responsive to your request…”—a complete absence of booking, intake, and disciplinary logs for one of the most documented prisoners in U.S. history.

3. "Media Asset" or Maximum-Security Prisoner?

When you realize the records don't exist, the existing footage of Dahmer inside Columbia Correctional takes on a completely different, highly disturbing context. Look closely at the anomalies:

• The Unrestrained Wardrobe: In his infamous April 1994 Stone Phillips interview with NBC, Dahmer is filmed walking completely freely through administrative hallways. He is wearing a full leather belt—a jarring detail for a maximum-security inmate who explicitly confessed to frequently strangling his victims with straps.
• The Hollywood Talent Agent: My wider investigation uncovered documents indicating that the man we know as Jeffrey Dahmer was actually represented by the Metropolitan Talent Management Agency. A "serial killer" with a Hollywood agent negotiating his public appearances and film rights behind bars.
• The Scripted Dialogue: In his February 1993 Inside Edition interview, Dahmer literally quotes lines from a 1992 horror-comedy movie about himself, passing them off as authentic "memories" of his crimes.

The ‘worst serial killer’ of modern times walks freely to his Stone Phillips TV interview in April 1994 (NBC). Notice the jarring detail: Dahmer is wearing a belt, despite having confessed to frequently strangling his victims with a strap.

Costume check for Dahmer: Just me, my slightly-too-long haircut, and my pre-Internet talk show interview drip.

The $30 Billion Agenda

When the paper trail completely vanishes, you have to look at who profits when the story stays alive. Every single interview, documentary segment, and staged walk through those hallways wasn't news—it was content creation building asset value for film rights.

But it goes deeper politically. The "Milwaukee Cannibal" narrative was carefully constructed to inject maximum terror into the American psyche at a critical legislative crossroads. By generating unprecedented public panic, the architects of this narrative successfully manufactured the political leverage needed to push through the authoritarian 1994 $30 Billion Crime Bill—the most aggressive, sweeping expansion of the carceral state in U.S. history.

I don't expect anyone to take my word for it. I want you to look at the institutional responses for yourselves.

Is it possible that a modern state bureaucracy 'accidentally' purged every single day-to-day document for its most famous inmate? Or are we looking at proof of an orchestrated psychological operation where the "monster" was nothing more than a managed media asset?

Let’s talk in the comments. I want to know if anyone else here has run into total document erasure when filing FOIA requests on high-profile Wisconsin cases from the 1990s.

Not every monster lurks in the dark. Some drive slow down your street with the windows down and a jingle playing, and we're trained from childhood to run toward them.
This week Donivan and Sal crack open the Ice Cream Man comic and unpack why it works as horror — before diving into the 1995 cult classic and previewing what 2026's reboot has in store. Then the conversation turns real: the actual predators, scams, and disturbing cases tied to ice cream trucks over the years, and why "hiding in plain sight" might be the scariest horror trope of all.
Some monsters don't need shadows. Sometimes all they need is a jingle.

Random shower thought...

I've been thinking about horror movies less in terms of specific villains and more in terms of the archetypes they represent.

If you had to rank them by how likely you are to survive, what would your tier list look like?

Mine would be something like:

S Tier: I'd probably survive

Haunted house

Creature with strict rules

A Tier: Kinda cooked but there's hope

Vampire

Werewolf

Cult

B Tier: 50/50

Zombie outbreak

Forest monster

Alien hunter

C Tier: Yeah... not looking good

Demon/possession

Cursed object

Cosmic horror

D Tier: It's so over

Supernatural slasher

Unkillable entity

Anything that literally gets stronger because you're scared

My logic is simple: if there are rules, I can at least try to cheese the encounter.

The second the villain has infinite stamina, teleports, ignores physics, or just decides the rules don't apply anymore... I'm accepting my fate.

Curious where everyone else lands.

What's getting moved up or down, and what's your instant "nah, I'm dead" horror archetype?

I am reaching out because I am concerned about someone I know who is in her 20s and has had a major change in her behavior and personality. She used to spend most of her time reading the Bible and was very focused on religion, but recently she has started acting very differently. She says that she is God, an angel, Satan, or a demon, and she genuinely believes these things. It feels like she has two completely opposite sides or personas, one that is very positive and angelic and another that is dark or demonic. She has also said unusual phrases that I could not understand, such as “kuraka seta” and “alahhe.” There was also an incident where she was lying on the floor with her arms raised while talking to someone who was not visibly there. Her appearance and expressions seem different to people who knew her before, almost like she does not seem like the same person. I am concerned and would like to know what types of conditions or situations could cause someone to experience these kinds of changes and what steps should be taken to support her. And theres more if you would like to hear i have videos that explain alot more.

What were some Horror films intended to kick off a series with a potential new iconic Horror villain comparable to Freddy, Jason, Michael, Pinhead, Chucky, etc. that ended up not happening for one reason or another?

1989's Shocker comes to mind right away. Wes Craven intended for it to be similar to ANOES and a series where he could have full creative control and profit from the merchandise and such, something he didn't initially do so with ANOES until that was later rectified. Sadly this ended up not happening due to the film's poor box office. I suspect Dr. Giggles from the film of the same name was another intended to be a recurring villain over the course of several sequels but again, weak box office (combined with an at the time lack of interest in new Slashers during the early 90s during the pre-Scream era) sadly quashed those plans. Shame, both Horace Pinker and Dr. Giggles would've been cool villains to have given new series to and to see return over the course of a few sequels.

I also have my suspicions this year's ill-fated Psycho Killer was probably intended to become a series, with the Satanic Slasher poised to become an icon. But again, poor box office immediately halted those plans. Shame too because while the film may not have been the greatest or even particularly good, the villain is a cool one who surely deserved a much better film to be showcased in, and he has one of the most visually striking masks seen in a Horror villain in sometime.

Some other Horror icons who sadly never became iconic were Sammi Curr (Trick Or Treat) and Trickster (Brainscan). Shame as I think sequels to these could've been very cool and there were some neat directions they could've gone in, and more could've been done with these characters.
