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!
We have learned the sad news this week that prolific horror author Ray Garton, who wrote nearly 70 books over the course of his career, has passed away after a battle with lung cancer.
Ray Garton was 61 years old.
Stephen King tweets, “I’m hearing that Ray Garton, horror novelist and friend, died yesterday. This is sad news, and a loss to those who enjoyed his amusing, often surreal, posts on Twitter.”
Ray Garton’s novels include Seductions, Darklings, Live Girls, Night Life, and Crucifax in the 1980s, followed in later decades by output including A Dark Place: The Story of a True Haunting, Trade Secrets, The New Neighbor, Lot Lizards, Dark Channel, Shackled, The Girl in the Basement, The Loveliest Dead, Ravenous, Bestial, and most recently, Trailer Park Noir.
Garton also wrote young adult novels under the name Joseph Locke, including the novelizations for A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Master and The Dream Child. He also wrote the novelizations for Tobe Hooper’s Invaders from Mars and Warlock, as well as several books for the Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Buffy the Vampire Slayer franchises.
Other young adult horror novels you may remember the name Joseph Locke from include Petrified, Kiss of Death, Game Over, 1-900-Killer, Vengeance, and Kill the Teacher’s Pet.
You can browse Ray Garton’s full bibliography over on his official website.
He wrote on his website when it launched, “Since I was eight years old, all I’ve wanted to be was a writer, and since 1984, I have been fortunate enough to spend my life writing full time. I’ve written over 60 books—novels and novellas in the horror and suspense genres, collections of short stories, movie novelizations, and TV tie-ins—with more in the works.”
“My readers have made it possible for me to indulge my love of writing and I get a tremendous amount of joy out of communicating with them,” Garton added at the time.
Ray Garton is survived by his longtime wife, Dawn.
