Whether they be animated or live-action, old or new, turning off the light and switching on any of these movies is guaranteed to not only thrill but outright chill. So, though funny and lighthearted they may appear to be on the surface, here are ten absolutely terrifying children’s movies capable of frightening anyone no matter their age. Are you ready? 10 Ghostbusters (1984) Who’re you gonna call? While abundant with the quirky horrors of ghouls like the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man and accompanied by the dry wit of comedian Bill Murry, Ghostbusters is just as filled with its own share of terrifyingly memorable moments....

The name “Che Guevara” either incites love or hate. The name is synonymous with freedom fighting to some, and butchery to others. What most people don’t know is that Che’s real name was not quite so romantic; he was born Ernesto Lynch. That’s right – Che Guevara was actually plain old Mr Lynch. It doesn’t have quite the same ring to it does it? His surname comes from the fact that his family was half Irish....

10Copper Has Antimicrobial Properties Long ago, even before man knew what science was, they knew that copper could kill things that could kill you. That weird fuzzy thing growing on the water would meet its demise at the hands of copper. Ancient Egyptian texts[1] say copper was used to clean wounds, sterilize water, and treat a variety of other ailments, such as burns, headaches, weird growths, and leg ulcers. Today’s studies have observed that copper does indeed kill bacteria in the awesomely named process of “contact killing....

Reilly has played a host of seamy characters to great effect over the years.

Manner of death: Threw himself into a volcano to become immortal Empedocles was a Greek philosopher who is probably best remembered for his classical theory of the four elements.

The process of preserving the flesh has been seen in ancient cultures since before 5000 BC, more than 7,000 years ago. Almost all of us have heard of ancient Egyptian mummies or seen a preserved body at some point, and these are our main benchmarks for understanding body preservation after death. We’ll explore crude ancient techniques along with more modern procedures, so get ready for a stomach-knotting ride. 10 Common Wake And Burial (Formaldehyde) This is certainly one of the first methods that will come to mind when thinking of ways that bodies are preserved....

3.5% to 6.1% of the global population have arachnophobia or a fear of spiders and for me it’s the length of their legs and the speed they move that terrifies me. There are some more interesting reasons why people have these phobias that are discussed here. Such as, the parts toads used to play in witchcraft. Top 10 Unbearable Phobias 10 Ichthyophobia (Fish) While someone might be afraid of a dog or cat because they were attacked, they’re unlikely to be attacked by a fish so why does ‘ichthyophobia’ occur?...

The original “American Pie” was a box office smash, is frequently listed in the Top 50 comedy films of all time and set the bar much higher (lower?) in gross-out, anatomical comedy. The two sequels, American Pie 2 and American Wedding, were also box office champs but admittedly worse that the original. Then came three (to date) direct-to-DVD releases under the same name. Due to rising production costs, the studio hired cheaper talent and skipped theatrical releases....

Following a peaceful march on 6 August, 2011, in relation to the police response to the fatal shooting of Mark Duggan by Metropolitan Police Service firearms officers on 4 August, 2011, a riot began in Tottenham, North London. In the following days, rioting spread to several London boroughs and districts and eventually to some other areas of England, with the most severe disturbances outside London occurring in Birmingham, Bristol and Manchester as well as some other cities in the Midlands and North West of England....

Cain was the first born son of Adam and Eve, and Abel was the second. In Genesis 4 we read how Cain kills his brother and is sent east of Eden where he marries a woman and “lays” with her. Because Adam and Eve were the first humans – from whom all people come – Cain’s wife was his sister – and, consequently, all of the early Biblical relationships were incestuous (with the exception of Adam and Eve)....

When many of us hear the word “anarchist,” we instantly think of crusty punk rockers huddled in abandoned buildings, but anarchism has many faces and names that are far different from these generic, media-influenced images our brains seem to naturally conjure up. In short, the common theme under the umbrella of people who could be described as anarchists is the idea that an individual person should be in control of themselves and should not live under the dictation of others and that we as people are capable of leading our own lives, without the hindrance of overbearing rule, force, or coercion....

Here are ten of the weirdest things about alchemy and alchemists. Top 10 Facts About the Great Beast Aleister Crowley 10 John Damian Flies Alchemists were some of the greatest thinkers of their age. They wanted to know everything but sometimes their curiosity led them to attempt the impossible. John Damian de Falcuis was an Italian doctor and alchemist who convinced the king of Scotland to fund his research. Huge amounts of alchemical ingredients were provided at vast expense to the crown in hopes that Damian would be able to find a new way of making gold....

Such is the case of the first photo of a black hole, or NASA’s new program to go back to the Moon in a few years.

Judging by their ability to meditate for hours on end, abstain from food for days, and their vows of silence, most of us would agree that Tibetan Monks have better control over their minds and bodies than the average person. Still, what’s particularly amazing is some of them can control physiological processes, such as blood pressure and body temperature – feats many medical doctors find astounding. In one of the most notable exhibits of their skills, a group of Tibetan monks allowed physicians to monitor the monk’s bodily changes as they engaged in a meditative yoga technique known as g Tum-mo....

10It Was Discovered By The Guy Who Killed Pluto Even if you haven’t heard of Mike Brown, you are indirectly familiar with his work. Back in 2005, he discovered a Kuiper Belt object dubbed Eris, which briefly seemed a candidate for planet status. The discovery touched off a debate over the definition of a planet that ended with Pluto and Eris being bumped down to the status of dwarf planet. This earned Brown a measure of notoriety—he even wrote a book entitled How I Killed Pluto (And Why It Had It Coming)....

The Faisal-Weizmann Agreement was signed on January 3, 1919, by Emir Faisal (son of the King of Hejaz) and Chaim Weizmann (later President of the World Zionist Organization) as part of the Paris Peace Conference, settling disputes stemming from World War I.

But sometimes, when couples seem destined to ride off into a gorgeous sunset, life suddenly reveals itself to be more Hyde than Jekyll, eclipsing elation with agony. 10Helen Simmons & Prince Mukkaram Jah Cinderella herself probably couldn’t have crafted a better beginning to Helen Simmons’s story. In 1976, the 27-year-old Aussie was out of work and living on government assistance after time spent abroad. But out of the blue, things started to look up....

10A Massive Debris Ring A newly discovered star, affectionately dubbed IRAS 13481-6124, is already helping astronomers figure out how gigantic stars are made. There are different classifications of stars, yet it basically boils down to “small” and “big.” And our Sun is on the little side of things. It’s in one of the smaller subsets of stars and it’s not even massive enough to die in a glorious explosion, like all the cool stars in the universe....

Some of the most fascinating projects are the ones that almost came to fruition, whether through the determination of a convinced individual or the sheer possibilities that it could offer—if it would only work the way it’s supposed to. From a rocket-powered drum to a chicken-warmed nuke, these are the strangest military inventions to almost see deployment on the battlefield. 10 The Puckle Gun Invented in 1718 by British lawyer James Puckle, the Puckle gun was the world’s first patented multi-shot weapon....

Although Trump’s proposed wall has generated arguments and counterarguments, no one seems to notice the other walls popping up elsewhere. Or the ones that have been in existence for decades. There are more walls dividing countries than we think. 10 Moroccan Wall The Moroccan Wall (or the “Berm”) is a 2,600-kilometer-long (1,600 mi) wall running through Western Sahara. The wall is made of 3-meter-high (10 ft) desert sand and is protected by electric fences, radar, barbed wire, Moroccan soldiers, and about seven million land mines....
