Meta will no longer let creators using its Horizon Worlds social VR playscape make dedicated events, the company announced as part of the platform’s v109 update notes on Tuesday. It’s a surprising shutdown of a feature that some creators hoped would someday see improvements.

<![CDATA[The Scariest Movie Ever Made]]> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnHlUIkZnvM

Horror movies played a huge role in my life and horror classics such as "The Shining," "The Exorcist," and "The Thing." are and likely always will be some of my favorite films of all time. But the horror genre has changed drastically. The plots are formulaic, remakes and reboots are the norm and the scares are dried up.

I'll always be a fan of horror movies, but if you are looking for some severe scares this Halloween, consider checking out a non-horror. A BBC produced Docu-drama from 1984 called, "Threads."

The most realistic and gruesome depiction of nuclear war and the price to be paid afterward are on full display in "Threads." (1984) And there are no shortages of terrifying scares.

With "Threads," (1984) if you know, you know. If you don't know and are on the hunt for scares and a shock to your system, look no further than "Threads" (1984)
