LISTS FOR THE SICKEST OF MINDS

---

Price committed his first murder at the age of 13 in Warwick, RI. He stole a kitchen knife from his then neighbor's house Rebecca Spencer (27 years old) and stabbed her 58 times. 

Price would lay dormant for a couple more years before reemerging for his most repulsive crime. At the age of just 15, when most of us would be watching cartoons, Price murdered a family of three. September 1, 1989 high on weed and LSD he stabbed Joan Heaton (39 years old) 57 times, her daughter Jennifer (10 years old) 62 times and her other daughter Melissa (8 years old) 30 times and crushed her skull. The stabbings were so violent and brutal that the knives broke, leaving blades lodged inside the victims' bodies. Price indicates that racism at the hands of whites is what drove him to commit the crimes.g about your business here.

Woodmansee grew up sheltered under his police reservist father’s wing. In 1975, he murdered his young neighbor Jason Foreman and kept the decaying body in a chest in his room for years. Woodmansee would roam free seven years before being caught after a botched attempt to strangle a 14-year old paperboy. Woodmansee’s diary describes how he tasted the flesh and lacquered the bones in such gruesome detail that the court processing his trial chose to seal the evidence.

Tormented by visions of the devil, William Sarmento violently murdered two boys, Frankie Lee Barnes Jr. and Jason Wolf in 1987. A bizarre violence-obsessed childhood spent in dog houses and sewers showcase his history of madness. He was captured after attempting to frame a potential competitor for the girl he had his eye on, by writing a letter to the police.

From 105 BCE to 404 CE, professional fighters would battle to their deaths in front of large arenas, housing about 30 to 50,000 spectators in ancient Rome. Using weapons from tritons and nets to swords and shields, these men and women would face each other or a variety of animals. Commodus, a particularly violent emperor, would have gladiators fight groups of injured citizens bound together to form what resembled a giant man. He would also arm dwarves with cleavers for his amusement.

Ullamaliztli, hard to pronounce, even harder to play. This game was played in courts built next to temples in the shape of an I with slopes on each side. Players would attempt to get a 9-pound hard rubber ball throw a hoop without letting the ball touch their hands. The losing team was sacrificed.

Played through online forums like Facebook, WhatsApp and Minecraft, Momo is a series of increasingly violent challenges culminating in suicide of the participant. Most players are teens being lured in by predators. Initially they may be asked to carve letters or numbers into their arms, if they refuse, they are sent gory pictures and haunted with Ubume photos, a warped image of an older Japanese woman of folklore.

From 1952 to 1969, the US Air Force conducted a study on Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) aiming to determine if they were a threat to national security and to scientifically analyze UFO related data. Bluebook is thought of as a conspiracy as it was said to be a smoke screen, improperly explaining UFOs away rather than examining them. 

This was the third in a series of similar projects. The first being called Sign in 1947, the second the Grudge in 1949. They turned away from horror movie titles with Bluebook which took its name from the booklets used for finals in colleges. 

Over the 17-year span of the project, 12,618 UFO reports were collected. The majority were chalked up to clouds, stars and planes. But 701 remain classified as unidentified. These are all available now under the Freedom of Information Act. 

Bluebook was led initially by Captain Edward Ruppelt. He took a very scientific approach to the whole thing. He coined the term “UFO.” Previously the military and elsewhere would say “flying saucer.” Craving objectivity, he would kick off teammates if they became either too skeptical or too convinced of a certain theory. The team was authorized to interview any and all military personnel that witnessed UFOs- without having to follow any chain of command. 

Ruppelt requested reassignment in 1953. A series of successors drove the project out of the sky and into the ground and Bluebook lost any credibility, scientific focus and integrity it had. This was the same year the military made it a crime to discuss classified UFO reports with unauthorized people. Punishable by 2 years in jail or a $10,000 fine. 

The Air Force summarized its conclusions from the study as follows: UFOs aren’t threats. There is no evidence that any UFOs observed were beyond scope of modern scientific knowledge. There is no evidence that any UFOs were extraterrestrial vehicles. Also, the final Bluebook report stressed that low grade, unverifiable reports of UFOs clogged intelligence and suggested a debunking campaign to encourage the public’s interest and belief in the matter to dissolve. Using Walt Disney, mass media, psychologists, astronomers and celebrities to ridicule the idea of UFOs. 

Not everyone was made a disbeliever though. Astronomer J. Allen Hynek, who coined the term “Close encounter,” started as a skeptic but began to waiver by participating on the project. The Air Force publicly announced in April 2003 that there were no plans to reestablish any more UFO study programs. But that’s not what happened… 

The Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program was funded at $20 million a year from 2007-2012. It generated a, currently unavailable to the public, 490-page report documenting UFO sightings around the world. Though typical government funding stopped in 2012, “black money”- a Pentagon budgeting term for classified projects- continued to fund the effort. The head of the program was Luis Elizondo. He later resigned because he felt the program wasn’t taken seriously and went on to start the “To the Stars Academy” with Tom DeLong of Blink 182- the organization is now in major financial trouble.

Mock-YEAH

Ing- YEAH

Bird-YEAH

Yeah-YEAH, this really happened. 

Operation Mockingbird started in the 50s and was a CIA funded program used to influence the media and inject propaganda into the world. The project was exposed in 1973 when one of the journalists they were trying to recruit to do their bidding, surprise, reported the story of what happened to her. 

The project took place during the Cold War in response to another organization funneling money to US papers and news sources to run stories that painted communism in a good light. The project also worked to wiretap journalists’ phones. 

George H W Bush, in 1976, declared that “Effective immediately, CIA will not enter into any paid or contractual relationship with any full-time or part-time news correspondent accredited by any U.S. news service, newspaper, periodical, radio or television network or station.” 

"About a third of the whole CIA budget went to media propaganda operations... We're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars a year just for that... close to a billion dollars are being spent every year by the United States on secret propaganda." – Testimony of William Schapp to Congress

 Bohemian Grove is a camping area in the Redwoods in California which is owned by a gentlemen’s club. Many men on the roster are wealthy, business men, supplemented by artists and authors. Many believe that the club is a front for more important or devious undertakings. The Manhattan project meetings leading to the development of the atomic bomb took place at the grove. 

The club had a lawsuit brought against them because women have to leave the premises by 9 pm. The only women are typically girlfriends and wives, but some of the employees were mad that they couldn’t stay longer. 

Secret ceremonies filmed by Alex Jones, reported by other magazine writer infiltrators. Men would surround a giant owl statue and reenact human sacrifices. 

Richard Nixon’s oh-so-eloquent quote "The Bohemian Grove, which I attend from time to time — it is the most faggy goddamned thing you could ever imagine.”

On an episode of Montel Williams, psychic Sylvia Browne told Amanda Berry’s mother that her daughter was dead, as Amanda watched helplessly in Ariel Castro’s house where she was being held captive. Amanda’s mother went on to die of a heart attack shortly after, never knowing the truth about her daughter. After Berry’s rescue, Browne only had the following to say when confronted with her invalid predictions and their impact: “Only God is right all the time.”

On a gut instinct, Etta Smith approached local police in connection with the whereabouts of missing person Melanie Uribe’s body. She decided to follow up on her feeling herself and set out with her children to explore the area she believed the body to be. Finding Melanie there, Etta called police again and they thanked her for her assistance by arresting her for suspected involvement. She would later be cleared of all charges.

Former opera singer, Annette Martin would go on to be a renown psychic, once sworn in as an expert witness in a court testimony. She would assist in locating missing persons by playing a psychic version of the children’s game “Warmer or Colder” on a map.

On February 11, 2001 in a small Oklahoma town, 53-year-old grandmother Carol Sue Elvaker sat playing Ouija board with her daughter and two granddaughters when she received a message from God telling her to kill her son in law who was sleeping in the next room over. She stabbed him with a kitchen knife and fled the scene with all the girls in tow. She slammed their car into a sign on the side of a freeway in an unsuccessful effort to kill them all. After trying to push one of her granddaughters into oncoming traffic, she stripped off all her clothes and ran into the woods. She was eventually caught and charged.

On Christmas Eve of 2014, Paul believed the household dog Molly was possessed by an evil entity after playing with the Ouija board. He drowned the dog in a bathtub, dismembered it and stuffed its body parts down the drain. After he was sent to jail for this heinous act, his wife and daughter decided to try to contact Molly’s spirit via the Ouija board. Upon being warned of imminent death, they burnt the house down. 

35-year-old insurance broker, Stephen Young, shot and killed a newlywed couple in 1993. The victims’ families were relieved when he was sentenced to two consecutive life sentences- until the jury revealed they had used a Ouija board to assist in the verdict. Young was granted a retrial.

San Diego, 1979. Brenda Spencer was merely 16 years old when she picked up her rifle, a girft from her father, and began shooting at the elementary school across the street from her house. She injured eight kids and a police officer. She killed the school's principal and janitor. When asked why she committed this violent act, she responded to the media with "I don't like Mondays." 

The Boomtown Rats turned her detached, emotionless song into a catchy hit, topping charts worldwide.

 We recommend looking at photos of Brenda Spencer throughout her time behind bars. Some interesting mullets make appearances as she attempts to appeal her sentence. 

Twenty-one year-old Christopher Duncan was way more than just an Eminem fan. He went so far as to get the same tattoos, bleach his hair and dress in a similar manner to Marshall Mathers. He frequented karaoke bars where he would perform Eminem songs and drink heavily. 

After singing numerous Eminem songs at a karaoke bar in the UK, Duncan took young and beautiful law student Jagdip Najran, back to his apartment in Bethnal Green, East London. She had apparently developed a crush on him while seeing him cover Eminem's songs. 

Once there, Duncan cruelly beat her and stuffed her body into a suitcase. Najran did not immediately die, but suffered for over an hour while crammed into the luggage. The crime scene was reminiscent of the video for "Stan" which starred Devon Sawa as a similarly obsessed fan. The Eminem impersonator is also the main suspect in the death of American artist Margaret Muller. Muller was a 27 year-old student stabbed to death while jogging in a park near Duncan's studio apartment. 

The song is about a child called "Ronnie," and the lyrics revolve around a theme similar to a school shooting. Supposedly, the theme for the song was taken from a 1990's school shooting in Washington state. Apparently kids were mocking Ron Brown calling him Ron Frown. So I wanted to find this school shooting. 

Ruled out the first one, Darrell Cloud, who had returned to his alma mater later in life to kill a middle school teacher that had been sexually assaulting him. The next school shooting I could choose from one where a kid shot and injured 2 others after a MLK Jr. day assembly where he had been selling weed. He was 15 and tried as a juvie, out at 21, so his name was never released. He could possibly be named Ron Brown. 

Or finally, a Washington state 90's school shooting in Moses. In this Lake one, 14-year-old Barry Loukaitis killed a teacher and two students and wounded another student when he opened fire on his algebra class. Loukaitis was sentenced to life in prison. This shooting seems more frequently tied to the Pearl Jam song, "Jeremy." 

Though we are unable to track the official inspiration FOR Ronnie, we know what was inspired BY Ronnie: 

Ronald Pituch, a 26 year old New Jersey man, was pissed because his mom would go by him cigarettes. So he killed her with a 20 pound dumbbell, then tied up his 5 year niece in the house and left on his dirt bike. He attacked an elderly woman and then spotted an 11 year old on a bike and stabbed him to death with such force the knife broke off in his back. Terrifying. 

 He had stopped taking his meds, had been drinking a lot and harassing a former high school classmate. He claimed he was possessed by the devil and the song was about him. He bought the album while depressed wandering a Wal-Mart. The song, which describes a "small-town boy" who "lost his way, this bloody day" had been written solely for him, Pituch believes, and the violence that erupted on Oct. 17, 2002, had been preordained in its lyrics. "I wish I could relive that day, but I can't. I feel terrible about it. Nothing but shame," he said. "I know some people probably think I'm evil, but I don't think so. I feel like I was damned."

Choosy moms choose JIF. Choosier moms choose not to give their kids peanut butter at all. What in the gal durn peanut shell? You might be wondering,.. The only thing dangerous about peanut butter is how addictive and delicious is it. But maybe this fear is more rational than we think....

In 1981, NY Times had to recall some advice to avoid holiday overeating by having spoonfuls of peanut butter prior to going out because they got some reports about the thick substance becoming lodged in people’s throats and lungs.

Wax figures, ventriloquist dummies, they can both be a bit creepy. I'm looking at you Slappy from Goosebumps.

Marie Tussaud, 1761 Germany. Her mom worked for a doctor that made wax models for anatomy purposes and she started learning from him when she was 6. She inherited his collection of wax figures when he died and started a traveling show going around Europe for 33 years. She settled into a permanent location in 1835 with the main attraction being the Chamber of Horrors. This did not commemorate freaks of nature, but mass murderers of the French Revolution, real monsters and murderers. It was renovated in 1996 and updated to include more evil folks from throughout history and the torture devices and instruments used- like Vlad the Impaler and Hitler. 

In 2008, a German man rushed past security on the opening day of the Berlin Madame Tussauds and ripped Hitler's head off. A sign asked people to refrain from posing with or taking pictures of the statue, but didn't specify that decapitation was prohibited as well. "It disturbs me that Hitler should become a tourist attraction," the attacker said. 

Ventriloquism was originally a religious practice. The Latin name breaks down to mean speaking from the belly., sometimes called gastromancy. Noises made by the stomach were supposed as coming from the dead. Ventriloquists could interpret these sounds, occasionally able to use them to predict the future. The Pythia, the priestess at the famous temple of Apollo in Delphi, used this method to give messages from the Oracle. 

Christianity took an anti-ventriloquism stand in the 16th century during wide spread witch trials. Belief that demons were behind the mysterious voices emanating from bodily holes— like vaginas or nostrils- began to spread. This could still be responsible for a lingering fear of these harmless dolls.

Why are chopsticks scary? Maybe splinters... Maybe it’s a social thing... There are tons of etiquette rules easy to unintentionally break related to chopsticks that vary from region to region. For example, you can’t face them toward people, you can’t look through food, aka “grave digging,” for a certain item, you can’t cross them because it symbolizes death, you can’t put them vertically in food because it’s done at a funeral. 

They could be scary as their use can increase the risk of osteoporosis. 

Perhaps even more scary, they can be used to kill. 

· An unhinged man escaped from his restraints at a psychiatric hospital in China and killed three women with a single chopstick. Directly prior to this attack, perpetrator Yang Shitou had been laying in a bed at Luoning Public Hospital in Henan Province as a nurse cleaned up his room. The video, released by a Chinese media source, is linked below. 

Michikazu Ikeuchi, a 51 year old man stabbed his 80 year old father in the throat with a chopstick after trying to stop his parents from arguing.  

June 30, 2013: 20 year old referee Otavio Jordao da Silva ejected 31 year old Josemir Santos Abreu from an amateur soccer match in Maranhao, Brazil. This started an argument and the ref pulled a knife on the player and stabbed him. Abreu actually wound up dying from this wound on his way to the hospital. Abreu’s family and friends rushed onto the field and tied the ref up. Reports indicate they beat him, stoned him, then quartered and decapitated him with a sickle. His severed head was placed on a spike on the field. Reports do not contain word on if the head was used as a soccer ball . 

 
One man was arrested – 27 yo Luis Moraes Souza. Brazilian police are quoted as saying that one crime does not justify another.

During the 1994 FIFA World Cup, Colombian player Andrés Escobar accidentally scored a goal against his own team in a match against the United States, a match which Colombia lost 2–1. 

Escobar, though not related to Pablo, played for Atletico Nacional which was funded by the infamous robin-hood-esque drug lord. They could afford the best players. A little over 6 months before the match, Pablo had been shot dead by police the day after his birthday, Dec 2 1993, and there was a lot of unrest and competing criminal underworld characters. There had been a lot of pressure for this team to win and tons of people gambling on the outcome, which probably contributed to the player’s performances. . 

On his return to Colombia 6 days after the game, Escobar was confronted outside a bar in Medellín by a gunman who shot the player six times, killing him. The gunman reportedly shouted "¡Gol!" ("Goal!") for each bullet fired. At the time, a driver for the Henao brothers was charged. The Henao brothers were apparently known drug traffickers and had lost about $1M on the cup. After 24 years, Colombian police believe the man actually responsible for the killing is Santiago Gallon Henao, not his driver. 

Bruiser Brody was a former NFL player, turned sportswriter, turned professional wrestler. He was a BIG muthafucka- 6’8” and 295 pounds. He had insane curly long hair and a beard. He looks crazy, always opening his eyes insanely wide and yelling. Bruiser AKA King Kong, became very well known for his brawling style. Fans loved him, a lot of other wrestlers respected him for his talent, but he definitely pissed people off the majority of people that he was working “with.” 

Bruiser wouldn’t sell, there’s one cage match where he was up against Luger and just stopped moving and stood in the corner and just stood there. Lex would keep punching him and he never moved, the ref was like wtf and just called the match. Bruiser would sometimes just sit in the middle of the ring. He would switch the end of matches if he didn’t think the other dude deserved to win, or whenever he felt like it.

 
Of course this didn’t just piss off the boys in the ring, it rubbed the promoters the wrong way too. He was in the WWWF circuit but got into it with Vince J McMahon (senior) and moved on. He pretty much made his rounds across all the major wrestling promotions, he was big in Japan g. David Von Erich and Ric Flair in 1984 when David was found dead. Flair contends that David overdosed and that Bruiser quietly removed the evidence to both save the Von Erichs from ridicule and also to reduce the chance of an investigation into other wrestlers on the tour (Brody was a notorious steroid user) 

 
He was making his way over to WCW but wasn’t super stoked with the agreement being worked out. He wanted more money. The top dog in WCW while these preliminary negotiations were taking place was Invader No 1, Jose Gonzalez. There was a match where Brody refused to sell for Jose, apparently also called him a midget since he was a foot taller than him. On July 16, 1988 Brody was in San Juan, Puerto Rico on the card against Dan Spivey on a show that Jose booked. Jose was seen walking into the showers where Brody was with a towel over a knife in his hand. Apparently he was going in there to discuss business. A few screams or loud noises were heard and fellow wrestler, Tony Atlas, rushed in to find Brody with his guts spilling out of his stomach and Jose holding the knife. Atlas said it looked like Jose was gonna go for Brody’s throat so he pulled him out of the way and Jose cut off his ponytail with the knife. Atlas recalls Brody calling him Brother and telling him to watch out for his son. 

 
It took paramedics over an hour to navigate through to where Brody was since the stadium was mad crowded and once they got there they had trouble lifting him bc he is fucking huge. Brody was taken to the hospital where he died- some speculation that the doctors were performing exploratory procedures and not following medical standards that may have contributed to his death. Brody was also known to take aspirin for a fucked up elbow and to help him bleed in matches so that may have been a contributing factor as well. 

Jose was arrested and claimed self-defense. He was acquitted of all charges. Some more weirdness, the wrestlers/witnesses that would have testified against him (like Atlas) received their subpoenas to testify a day after the trial was concluded. One crazy thing, Ric Flair has an interview where he claims that he was at the match- which he was not- and that Jose had a 2 year old daughter that had drowned in a pool 2 days before the match making him crazy and ready to kill. Jose went on to pitch an angle in Japan with Atsushi Onita where Onita was going to get revenge for Brody’s death and they even staged a fake stabbing but Gonzalez couldn’t get into the country so plans were dropped.

A 12-year-old boy, home with his parents called 911 in Halifax Canada to complain of child abuse, his parents were forcing him to…. eat salad. The police were in route to his house, the mounties actually, and he called AGAIN because they weren’t coming there fast enough. His parents were PISSED when they opened the door to find police unexpectedly. False alarm fines can be up to $10K but the mounties were nice enough to give the tween a warning. 

Albuquerque NM- Girl calls after her friend was shot in a drive by shooting and dispatcher hangs up on her when she swears. The ambulance had already been dispatched, the dispatcher resigned.

Travis, a famous chimpanzee used in show business, attacked his owner's friend in CT. The woman is freaking out and screaming, saying the chimp killed her friend. The operator doesn't miss a beat despite the irregular nature of the call. 

Considered one of the scariest movies of all time, the film was cursed with a myriad of mishaps. Was it the devil- or just the director?

· Set caught on fire: everything but Regan’s room burned. The director, William Friedkin, blamed it on a winged creature with talons… A pigeon flew into a light box and started the fire. Regan’s room seems not to have burned because they had three super intense refrigeration units going constantly to keep it 30 below zero. Only Regan was wearing a nightgown, the rest of them were dressed like they were going skiing. 

· Actors were injured on set: First, Ellen Burstyn hurt her coccyx in the scene when Regan throws her off the bed. Seems like this was more of the director being a dick than a curse. See the interview. Then, a rig broke when Regan was thrashing on the bed also caused her to get a spinal injury and she suffered from scoliosis for the rest of her life. She also got death threats for 6 months. 

· Actor and film crew deaths: 9 total associated with the movie. Actors Jack MacGowran, and Vasiliki Maliaros both died while the film was in post-production. What makes their deaths strange is that their characters died in the film as well. 

· Actors experienced family deaths:Linda Blair’s grandfather and Max Von Sydow’s brother, who died on Max’s first day of shooting. Also while filming, the son of Jason Miller, who played Father Damien Karras, was nearly killed when a motorcycle hit him. In 1987, actress Mercedes McCambridge, who played the demonic voice of Pazuzu, was the victim of a horrific tragedy when her son murdered his wife and children before taking his own life. 

· A suspected serial killer acted in the film: Paul Bateson was an x-ray tech at NYU Medical Center where a hospital scene was shot and managed to get a small part. In 1979, he was convicted of the murder of a film critic and was sentenced to 20 years. He bragged about the murders of six men whom he said he picked up in gay bars, had sex with them and then murdered and dismembered their bodies and put them into plastic bags “for fun” in 1977 and 78. They were known as the “bag murders.” He was never charged and those murders have technically never been solved. Bateson was released from prison in 2004. Inspired Friedkin to make 1980 film Cruising. Nobody can find this guy now. 

Many actors who have played the role of Superman have died in strange or unexpected ways, or have experienced horrific accidents throughout their lifetimes. Some say the curse extends beyond the main role as many others involved have also suffered extensive trauma. Still sound super to you?

· Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster: writer and artist of Superman, sold the rights of the character to DC Comics for a surprisingly small amount of money - $130. Never made any money, got physically ill looking at the comics, lived out lives in poverty d.

· Kirk Alyn: 1940s superman- typecast could never get another job, died with Alzheimers 

· Bud Collyer: voiced 60s cartoon version of superman. Only three short years after voicing Superman for the second time, Bud was found to have a circulatory ailment and died unexpectedly at the age of 61 

· George Reeves: 1950’s superman- got typecast, did one other movie but audience could only see him as the man of steel. Killed himself with a gunshot wound to the chest in 1959 

· Lee John Quigley: cast at seven months old to represent the baby version of the Man of Steel in the 1978 movie. He grew older to have a rough life, teased and bullied, turned to drugs. In 1991, this abuse ended his life, as he "inhaled harmful gas aerosols" and subsequently died. He was only 14

· Christopher Reeve: 1978 Superman- typecast, couldn’t get other jobs, took up horseback riding as a hobby. 1995 horse threw him and he broke his neck. 2004 he had an adverse reaction to some antibiotics and died of a heart attack

Margo Kidder: played Lois Lane in 1978, was in a major car accident in 1990 that left her temporarily paralyzed. She could not work which led to severe mood swings and depression. She began to have manic episodes and eventually had a severe breakdown in 1996. She became convinced that her previous husband was trying to kill her and began sleeping outside. She cut off her hair, was assaulted by a homeless man, and was finally sent in for treatment. She seems to have leveled out some since then and is living a quiet life.  

The Conqueror is a 1956 epic film directed by Dick Powell and written by Oscar Millard. The film stars John Wayne as Genghis Khan. Produced by entrepreneur Howard Hughes, it was considered one of the worst movies ever. Maybe that was a result of a curse?

· Exterior scenes were shot near St. George, Utah, close to the government's Nevada National Security Site. In 1953, 11 nuclear weapons tests occurred at the site, part of Operation Upshot–Knothole. Hughes shipped 60 tons of dirt back to Hollywood in order to finish filming.They were aware of the nuclear tests but the government assured that it was nbd.

· Director Powell died of cancer in January 1963, seven years after the film's release. 

· Actor Armendáriz diagnosed with kidney cancer in 1960, and killed himself in June 1963 after he learned his condition had become terminal. 

· Hayward, Wayne, and Moorehead all died of cancer in the 1970s. Hoyt died of lung cancer in 1991. Some blame smoking as Wayne himself thought his six-pack-a-day cigarette habit probably caused his lung cancer. 

· The cast and crew totaled 220 people. By the end of 1980, 91 of them had developed some form of cancer and 46 had died of the disease. Hughes felt guilty and bought every print of the film for $12 million. He managed to keep it out of circulation for many years until Universal Pictures purchased the film from his estate in 1979.

Two goth kids in jersey took the same route every day to get to school. They would make it a point always to go to the same tollbooth and ask “How much?” The toll booth guy would always respond the same way, “75 cents.” One day, the kids were feeling bored. After going through their typical exchange, the driver said, “that’s a rip off.” Rather than just dropping the 3 quarters into the guy’s hand, he hooked him with a pair of handcuffs. The booth man noticed the cuffs were tied to a rope and the driver sped off. The man started screaming and weeping, realizing his arm was going to be ripped off. As the car sped off, the frayed end of the rope fluttered out the window. 

A band on tour was making their way across the country but starting to get a little broke. They stopped to sleep at a campsite and noticed a bunch of RVs. They were parked next to a family of rednecks and figured they could siphon a little gas without anyone really noticing. The vocalist was nominated as the band believed he had the strongest lungs. He unscrewed the gas cap, put in his pipe and started sucking. The taste that filled his mouth was vile and he began retching immediately. The next day, the patriarch of the family was walking around the camper and yelled, “Who left the cap to the septic unscrewed?!” 

Police arrested Malcolm Davidson, a 27-year-old white male, resident of Wimbledon, in a pumpkin patch at 11:38 pm Friday. Davidson will be charged with lewd and lascivious behavior, public indecency, and public intoxication at the County courthouse on Monday. The suspect allegedly stated that as he was passing a pumpkin patch, he decided to stop. “You know, a pumpkin is soft and squishy inside, and there was no one around here for miles. At least I thought there wasn’t.” He stated in a phone interview from the County courthouse jail. Davidson went on to state that he pulled over to the side of the road, picked out a pumpkin that he felt was appropriate to his purposes, cut a hole in it, and proceeded to satisfy his alleged “need.” “I guess I was just really into it, you know?” he commented with evident embarrassment. In the process, Davidson apparently failed to notice the Wimbledon Municipal police car approaching and was unaware of his audience until officer Brenda Taylor approached him. “It was an unusual situation, that’s for sure.” Said officer Taylor. “I walked up to [Davidson] and he’s … just working away at this pumpkin.” Taylor went on to describe what happened when she approached Davidson. “I just went up and said, ‘Excuse me sir, but do you realize that you are screwing a pumpkin?’ He got real surprised as you’d expect and then looked me straight in the face and said, ‘A pumpkin? Damn … is it midnight already?'

Why would a sailor get so upset if you bring a potassium rich snack on board?  

Make sure to take the salt out of the bottle before you toss it over your shoulder in order to avoid awkward conversations with innocent bystanders. 

Forget the hokey pokey, it's not what it's all about after all. According to this urban legend, you better be riding goofy. 

A way less fun version of Twister, this medieval torture device was not a pleasant way to go when it was working correctly. One occasion when it worked incorrectly led to the retirement of the executioner. 

Too buff to inject? The typical reason that lethal injection lasts longer than intended is collapsed veins. But one man was actually too muscular for the needle. When he flexed, it shot the syringe toward the audience of execution onlookers. 

This is the most disgusting way to go- literally swallowing your own shit until your stomach explodes. It's basically Taco Bell. 

Not to be confused with Werewolf syndrome, Clinical lycanthropy, when someone psychologically believes they are a werewolf. This is the one where you get all hairy.

The original Blue Man Group could have easily been formed by those with argyria. Their skin and eyes turn blue. Papa smurf status.

Cat Eye Syndrome symptoms include abnormal obstruction of the anus. None of that normal shit. 

What's not to love about a family man? A lot if that "family man" is a family annihilator. Watts murdered his pregnant wife and two young daughters while having an affair with his co-worker. And girls write him in prison wanting to have him take care of their children.  

Yup, there are people that like him too. 

It's not just girls writing in to this Boston Bomber, Rolling Stone decided to have him grace the cover. Do you find any moral dilemma in this?
