Kentucky Goblins Documentary Series “Hellier” Is Streaming on SCREAMBOX and the First Episode Will Hook You!

If you’re looking for something creepy to binge…

Fans of all things strange and paranormal are surely familiar with the so-called “Kelly-Hopkinsville Encounter,” the moniker given to a truly bizarre story from 1955. Story goes that twelve people living in a farmhouse in Christian County, Kentucky had reported to police one night that tiny goblin creatures had besieged the property, and a gun battle ensued. When police arrived on the scene, they found no evidence of the alien-like creatures, but the story nevertheless rose to prominence and even inspired Steven Spielberg to write Night Skies, an unmade film that laid the groundwork for classics like Poltergeist, E.T. and Gremlins.

All these years later, have the Kentucky Goblins returned?

With the recent release of The Unbinding, it’s time to revisit the Planet Weird Original “Hellier,a 15-part documentary series that sets out to uncover the true story (if there even is one, of course) behind the “Kentucky Goblins” that first popped up back in the ’50s!

Now streaming on Bloody Disgusting’s SCREAMBOX, the story begins when paranormal investigator Greg Newkirk receives a strange e-mail from a Kentucky man claiming that humanoid creatures emerged from a mine shaft on his property. The man even shares photographs of three-toed footprints he had taken in his backyard.

But then, out of nowhere, Greg never hears from him again.

That e-mail, sent back in 2012, eventually sends Greg and a paranormal team off to Kentucky to explore the alleged phenomenon, where they seem to uncover something even bigger.

The two-season cinematic documentary series follows an investigation into unsolved mysteries, impossible synchronicities, and a web of high strangeness which stretches from the heart of Appalachian coal country.

If you’re into this sort of thing, trust me when I say that the first episode of “Hellier” will hook into you, as it presents a deeply compelling case that will have you believe that maybe, just maybe, there actually are strange creatures out there that we’ve never uncovered. And maybe, just maybe, they’re connected to all kinds of other unusual sightings over the years.

Both seasons are streaming now on Bloody Disgusting’s SCREAMBOX!

Jessica Rothe Keeps the Hope Alive for Third ‘Happy Death Day’ Movie

Published

It’s now been five years since the release of sequel Happy Death Day 2U, Christopher Landon’s sequel to the Groundhog Day-style slasher movie from 2017. Both films star Jessica Rothe as final girl Tree Gelbman, and director Christopher Landon had been planning on bringing the character – and the actor – back for a third installment. So… where is it?!

We’ve been talking about a potential Happy Death Day 3 for several years now, with the ball in producer Jason Blum’s court. Happy Death Day 2U scared up $64 million at the worldwide box office, a far cry from the first film’s $125 million. But with a reported production budget of just $9 million, that first sequel was profitable for Blumhouse. So again… where is it?!

Chatting with Screen Geek this week while promoting her new action-thriller Boy Kills World, franchise star Jessica Rothe provided a hopeful update on Happy Death Day 3.

Well, I can say Chris Landon has the whole thing figured out,” Rothe explains. “We just need to wait for Blumhouse and Universal to get their ducks in a row.

Rothe continues in her comments to Screen Geek, “But my fingers are so crossed. I think Tree [Gelbman] deserves her third and final chapter to bring that incredible character and franchise to a close or a new beginning.”

Back in 2020, Christopher Landon had revealed that the working title for the third installment was Happy Death Day to Us, said to be “different than the other two films.”

In the meantime, Christopher Landon is directing a mysterious thriller titled Drop for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes, along with a werewolf movie titled Big Bad for Lionsgate.
