[OMFG] Hacker Uses Emergency Alert System To Declare “Dead Bodies Are Rising From Their Graves!”

Published

KRTV in Montana is investigating how an apparent hacker commandeered its Emergency Alert System on Monday and informed viewers that a zombie apocalypse was underway, reports Yahoo! News.

Dead bodies are rising from their graves,” a voice calmly stated during the station’s broadcast of the “Steve Wilkos Show,” the site stated adding that the alert was quickly pulled, and the Great Falls, Mont., station issued an unintentionally funny apology:

Someone apparently hacked into the Emergency Alert System and announced on KRTV and the CW that “dead bodies are rising from their graves” in several Montana counties.

This message did not originate from KRTV, and there is no emergency.

Our engineers are investigating to determine what happened and if it affected other media outlets.

“Beating out several competitive offers, Legendary has closed an aggressive deal with Mob Entertainment to develop and produce a live-action feature adaptation of Poppy Playtime, a horror video game featuring the toy-turned-monster,” the website reports.

The Hollywood Reporter reminds, “Featuring shades of Willy Wonka, Toy Story and Gremlins, the first person video game sees the player acting as a former employee of a faded toy brand who, thanks to a cryptic letter, is drawn back to an abandoned facility only to quickly discover it has become home to a host of toys, including Huggy Wuggy, Mommy Long Legs, and CatNap, that have taken on a life of their own. Players have to decipher clues, solve puzzles and use gadgets to unravel the mystery and get out alive.”

Legendary will develop and produce the upcoming Poppy Playtime horror movie along with Mob Entertainment and Angry Films’ Don Murphy and Susan Montford.

The original survival horror video game was released in 2021, and much like Five Nights at Freddy’s, it’s been an incredibly popular merchandising powerhouse in the last few years.

Last year’s Five Nights at Freddy’s movie was a massive box office hit for Universal and Blumhouse, scaring up $291 million at the box office. Your move, Poppy Playtime.
