Do You Hate When Drivers Have Their High Beams On Behind You? Why Not Scare the Shit Out of Them?
I’ve got light sensitivity, which is why I’ll often wear sunglasses in places where others don’t. Some people poke fun at me but I’d rather ignore their gibes in favor of not getting a migraine or, at the very least, a pounding headache. This ailment is often at its worst at night, when other drivers have their lights on and will often forget that their high beams are blasting forward like the heat of a thousand suns.
In China, Taobao is selling decals that you can attach to your back windshield that are barely noticeable during the day but will illuminate at night when high beams are in use. What makes these decals so special is that they are of ghastly images and ghosts, similar to what we’d see in movies like Ringu and Ju-on. Basically, you’re driving down the road and someone comes up behind you with their high beams on and they’re suddenly face-to-face (car-to-car?) with a ghost. Honestly, I can’t say I’m against this idea. Having high beams in your rearview mirror is painful!
However, according to SMCP, the police aren’t too keen on these decals as they seem to be causing a few accidents. They’re issuing fines of up to 100 yuan if drivers have one of these decals and they warn that the consequences will be far more painful if an accident happens and the decal is found to be the reason.
You can see what these decals look like below. And cheers to Mashable for the find!
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
