1984’s Bachelor Party was absolutely UNHINGED. Tom Hanks, a furious pimp looking to collect his girls, and the kind of comedy Hollywood wouldn't dare touch today. They really don't make movies like this anymore.

🎃 Horror Movie Roundup 🎃 🎃 Halloween 4 (1988) is not only one of my favorite movies in the franchise. It has simply become one of my favorite horror movies, period. Year after year, I find myself grinning like an idiot for every second of the 88-minute runtime.

Produced by Rhythm & The Unknown DJ, the bassline alone, is worth the price of admission. Originally appearing on the Deep Cover Soundtrack, this joint would find it's place on a few Screw Tapes, including 3 N Tha Morning Paradise Down with my 🥷🏾 (instrumental) '92
For years , I was hunting and chasing every instrumental DJ Screw would use in his mixes. My buddy actually had a huge portion of these before he retired and passed them off to me 🙏🏾 Beatheads, can you identify the beat switch ? Hint: think soundtrack Al D "Why you hatin me"

Kim Basinger went bankrupt over a film she never made and a contract she never signed. In 1993 a Los Angeles jury ordered her to pay $8.92 million, more than everything she owned. In 1989 she was Vicki Vale in Batman. That year a group she led agreed to pay $20 million for most of Braselton, a small Georgia town near where she grew up. In 1991 she rode in with ABC's Chris Wallace and said: "This is peace to me. This is life." In January 1991 she agreed to star in Boxing Helena, the first film by David Lynch's daughter. A full contract was drafted, and nobody signed it. In June, after her new agency read the script, she pulled out. The producers sued, saying her spoken yes was a binding deal. In March 1993 the jury agreed. Two months later she filed for bankruptcy. The town her group bought as a dream became an asset in it. Two years earlier, she had called it peace. In 1994 an appeals court threw out the verdict, and she settled for $3.8 million. The town was later sold for a fraction of the price. In 1998 she won the Oscar for L.A. Confidential. In numbers. Independent films borrow against sales made before shooting. Her name was the collateral. Sales the producers said they lost when she left: more than $6 million. What the jury ordered her to pay: $8.92 million. Everything she owned at the time: $5.39 million. Selling all of it would still leave her $3.53 million short. The settlement: $3.8 million, about 70% of everything she owned. The star said yes and never signed. The producers borrowed millions against that yes. The jury ordered her to pay more than she owned.

A 1991 hidden-camera tape shows a woman walking up to a thin man in a gray T-shirt and asking if he remembers her. He was in the car with her sister the night the Zodiac Killer shot them both. The man was Mike Mageau. Around midnight on the Fourth of July, 1969, he and Darlene Ferrin, 22, were parked at Blue Rock Springs Park in Vallejo, California. A car pulled up behind them. A man walked over with a flashlight and opened fire without a word. Mageau, 19, was hit and lived. Darlene was dead by the time she reached the hospital. At 12:40 a.m. a man called Vallejo police. "I also killed those kids last year," he said. In the video below, you see Mageau 22 years later, and Darlene's sister Pam Huckaby, filmed through a fence as she asks him for one name. "There was a man that Darlene was very afraid of," she tells him. "I believe you know who he is." He says he doesn't remember a lot of names from back then. "You can't tell me you can't, Mike. I know you know who did it." A retired Vallejo detective tells the camera he never thought Mageau was telling the truth, whether out of some bigger involvement or just plain fear. That same year Mageau picked a photo out of a police lineup. "That's him! It's the man who shot me!" It was Arthur Leigh Allen, the only man police ever named as a suspect. Mageau admitted he never got a good look. "I'm not the Zodiac," Allen says on the tape. In 2002, DNA from the Zodiac's envelopes did not match him. The case is still open. Darlene's family never got a name. Did Mike Mageau know more than he ever said, or did he just never see the face that night?

An unknown creature was recorded by fishermen in a Chilean river. An unclassified biological anomaly has been documented by fishermen in the freshwater currents of the Río Allipén in the La Araucanía Region of Chile. The footage presents a profound zoological mystery: a massive, dark, disc-shaped creature navigating a shallow river system where no known species of its dimensions should exist.

People have got the right to talk about 25,000 dead children. It is more important than football.
