R.I.P. Gene Wilder Passes Away at 83

Published

on

Incredibly sad news is hitting the internet as it’s being reported that Gene Wilder has passed away at age 83, according to his family.

Wilder, born Jerome Silberman, began his acting career in the early 60’s and quickly became one of the most esteemed and recognized comedic actors. He appeared in several films from Mel Brooks, including 1974’s absolutely brilliant Young Frankenstein, which saw Wilder portray a descendent of the original Dr. Frankenstein who continued his grandfather’s work only to see similar results. He also starred in the 1986 horror/comedy Haunted Honeymoon, which he also co-wrote and directed.

His role as Willy Wonka in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was a marvel to behold. The film simultaneously had me loving and then fearing his character. I know many people who state that they had nightmares because of the tunnel sequence in that film, and I’m one of them.

Wilder was never in any “true” horror films but his impact on me is undeniable. I’ve laughed more times as a result of his humor and jokes than I can count and the happiness he brought me cannot be explained. I’m absolutely heartbroken right now.

To the friends and family of Mr. Wilder, you have my condolences. To everyone who loved his work, never let it die.

Rest in peace, Gene. Thank you for all the laughs.

SCREAMBOX Investigates UFOs and Extraterrestrials: Several Documentaries Streaming Right Now!

Published

As someone who is obsessed with UFOS (or more recently known as UAPs) and the concept of extraterrestrials, I love a good documentary. Sightings have been on the rise since the 1940s, with the atomic bomb seemingly acting as a catalyst for new visitors. But what are these UFOs/UAPs? Is there an explanation or are they simply beyond our explanation? Why are they here? Who are they? How much do our governments know? The questions are endless and so are the documentaries that attempt to uncover the secrets behind decades of sightings and alleged confrontations.

Whether you’re a seasoned viewer or new to the rabbit hole, there’s always a handful of interesting documentaries to get your neurons firing and leave you with sleepless nights. SCREAMBOX is investigating with the addition of several docs, all streaming now on the Bloody Disgusting-powered service. Here’s the breakdown:
