Trick or Treat! KPop Demon Hunters Sing-Along Is Heading Back to Theaters for Halloween

News KPop Demon Hunters Trick or Treat! KPop Demon Hunters Sing-Along Is Heading Back to Theaters for Halloween The animated feature is already Netflix’s most watched movie ever. By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on October 15, 2025 Credit: Netflix Comment 0 Share New Share Credit: Netflix The KPop Demon Hunters love keeps on giving. Today, we found out that Netflix is re-releasing the film in theaters over Halloween weekend. That’s right, theaters across the country will once again host the sing-along version of the movie from Friday, October 31, through Sunday, November 2. Fans are also encouraged to come to their screenings dressed as characters from the film. And if my Facebook mom groups are any indication, many, many people will show up to the theater sporting their favorite character’s look. (Netflix would also like you to know that they have licensed costumes at Spirit Halloween stores and also on their online Netflix Shop. Yay, capitalism!) The movie, for those who have yet to have the pleasure of watching, centers on K-pop superstars Rumi, Mira, and Zoey, who—in addition to being music icons—protect the world from demons through their music. Demon Hunters features a sick soundtrack as well, which is playing on repeat in many households where at least one child aged six to sixteen resides.  Looking to get some singing in before the holiday weekend? Netflix has you covered: Both the original and sing-along versions are, of course, streaming on their platform, along with “lyric videos,” where you can sing specific songs from the movie over and over and over while you wait for All Hallows’ Eve to see the movie on the big screen.

House Democrat Moulton to Challenge Markey in Senate Primary in Massachusetts

House Democrat Moulton to Challenge Markey in Senate Primary in Massachusetts

U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton is challenging his fellow Massachusetts Democrat Sen. Ed Markey in next year’s Senate primary in a race that could shape up to be a bellwether over the direction of the Democrat Party.  “Our party has clung to the status quo, insisted on using the same old playbook, and isn’t fighting hard enough. The next generation will keep paying the cost if we don’t change course,” Moulton said in his campaign announcement video.  At 46, Moulton is widely seen as a rising star in the Democratic Party, with broad appeal as both the holder of two master’s degrees from Harvard University and a former Marine Corps officer who served in the Iraq War. Moulton was awarded the Bronze Star for valor in combat, but avoided publicizing the honor—not even telling his parents—until the media began inquiring about his military record. Moulton has represented Massachusetts’ 6th Congressional District since 2015.  Markey, by contrast, is perhaps the definition of the longtime establishment of his party in Washington. He first served as a member of the House of Representatives from 1976 to 2013 before moving to the Senate.  Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., speaks at a press conference at the Capitol on May 5. (Kayla Bartkowski/Getty Images) “I don’t think someone who’s been in Congress for half a century is the right person to meet this moment and win the future,” the Massachusetts congressman contended in his campaign ad.  Markey turned back a primary challenge by then-Rep. Joe Kennedy III, D-Mass., in 2020, having portrayed himself as the more progressive candidate, with endorsements from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass. But that was five years and a presidential election ago, and at 79, it’s unclear whether Massachusetts voters will feel as comfortable handing the aging senator another six-year term in 2026. It’s not surprising, then, that Moulton is seeing an opening. He famously is not afraid to take aim at one of the Democrat Party’s most unpopular shibboleths with the general public: allowing males who “identify” as female to compete in women’s sports.  “I have two little girls. I don’t want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat, I’m supposed to be afraid to say that,” Moulton said in comments to The New York Times after last November’s presidential election in which then-Vice President Kamala Harris lost both the popular and Electoral College votes. When Moulton faced blowback from the Left, the Massachusetts congressman doubled down, stating: “I stand firmly in my belief for the need for competitive women’s sports to put limits on the participation of those with the unfair physical advantages that come with being born male.” >>>See also: Democrats Still Don’t Get It on Transgenderism However, when it comes to his voting record on the issue, Moulton has toed the left-wing party line, voting for enshrining gender identity as a protected class in federal civil rights law. On the sports issue in particular, Moulton voted against Republican legislation to prohibit males in girls and women’s sports called the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act. The Democratic Party primary election will be held on Sept. 1, 2026. The post House Democrat Moulton to Challenge Markey in Senate Primary in Massachusetts appeared first on The Daily Signal.

UK Government Faces Cross-Party Digital ID Backlash, Dismissing Concerns as “Misinformation” and “Scaremongering”

If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties, subscribe to Reclaim The Net. The UK government’s push for a national digital ID system is drawing heavy fire from across the political spectrum, even as officials continue expanding its proposed uses. During a parliamentary discussion on October 13, Science, Innovation and Technology Secretary Liz Kendall described a list of areas where she believes digital identification could be implemented. Her suggestions ranged from accessing basic services like housing and childcare to more routine activities such as opening a bank account or buying alcohol. Kendall dismissed concerns about the rollout, claiming that those speaking out against the scheme were engaging in “misinformation” and “scaremongering.” “I think there is some scaremongering about this issue,” she said.  “Such schemes in other countries really have made Government fit around people, rather than making people fit into Government and their different services, and I think that is a huge benefit.” At the same time, she held up Denmark, Finland, and Estonia as examples of how digital identity could be effectively integrated into public life. Among the elements she praised were Denmark’s automatic school record linkage, Finland’s tie-in with child daycare services, and Estonia’s practice of issuing digital IDs at birth. The track records of those countries, however, highlight significant questions. Denmark suffered a major breach in 2020 that revealed the ID numbers of over 1.2 million citizens. A separate flaw in 2022 meant some users were able to view other people’s bank accounts. Estonia has experienced multiple lapses as well. In 2011, a software problem affected roughly 120,000 ID cards. A more serious issue emerged in 2017, when about 760,000 cards had malfunctioning chip software. And in 2021, personal identity photos of more than 286,000 people were accessed by a hacker. Despite a petition signed by nearly three million people opposing digital ID, Kendall insisted the plan reflects what the public wants, stating, “trying to get Government services to talk to one another and work more effectively is what people want.” Several MPs strongly disagreed. Julia Lopez, a Conservative, warned that requiring a digital ID for employment means people “cannot meaningfully consent,” pointing to international cases where digital ID infrastructure has made populations more vulnerable. https://video.reclaimthenet.org/articles/JuliaLopezMP-1977862973784731899.mp4 Liberal Democrat MP Victoria Collins accused the government of designing a system that would “exclude millions,” describing it as “mandatory in all but name.” Conservative MP Ben Obese-Jecty called the scheme “alarming state overreach.” SNP’s Pete Wishart was clear in his rejection, calling digital ID “an attack on our liberty and privacy” and promising firm opposition under a Labour-led administration. Lewis Cocking, another Conservative, warned of an “authoritarian” direction and said British citizens “did not vote for a two-tier digital police state run by this failing Labour Government.” Although the government frames the proposal as a way to improve efficiency and simplify service access, privacy advocates and members of Parliament continue to raise the alarm over the serious risks such systems pose to civil liberties, data protection, and democratic oversight.

CNN's Cornish Cites Tilted UN Report To Support Guest's Accusation Of Israeli 'Genocide'

CNN's Cornish Cites Tilted UN Report To Support Guest's Accusation Of Israeli 'Genocide'

Earlier this month, how did Abdul El-Sayed, a far-left candidate in the Democrat primary for an open Michigan Senate seat, mark the second anniversary of Hamas' slaughter of 1,200 Israelis on October 7, 2023?  By sending out a fundraising email.  Adding ghoulish insult to injury, El-Sayed's email began: "Two years ago this month, Netanyahu's military launched a ground invasion of Gaza." Incredibly, El-Sayed's email failed to mention the Hamas attack that prompted Israel's response.  When El-Sayed's heartless, utterly misleading message provoked predictable outrage, El-Sayed said that sending it was a "mistake." Host Audie Cornish chose to have El-Sayed as a guest on Wednesday's episode of CNN This Morning. If Cornish, formerly of NPR, were anything close to being a real journalist, she surely would have grilled El-Sayed on his "mistake." But just as El-Sayed never mentioned the Hamas attack in his October 7th fundraiser, neither did Cornish breathe a word of his outrage in their conversation. To the contrary, Cornish abetted El-Sayed's attempt to scapegoat Israel. Four times during their conversation, El-Sayed accused Israel of "genocide" in Gaza. Rather than offering any counterevidence to his slander, Cornish sought to buttress it, saying: "We should note for our viewers that an independent entity connected to the UN made that determination about genocide. That is sort of the most direct version we have heard of that." The determination in question was issued by the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Cornish description of it as "the most direct version" on the subject was her attempt to persuade viewers that the Commission's finding that Israel was guilty of genocide was the most objective, authoritative word on the subject. It was anything but, as people familiar with the UN's history of outrageous anti-Israel bias would know.  The Commission was composed of three people. One of them, Miloon Kothari, in an interview with the virulently anti-Israel outlet Mondoweiss, questioned why Israel should even be entitled to UN membership. He also embraced a classic antisemitic trope, claiming that the "Jewish lobby" controls social media.  Kothari later apologized for his comments. Just like El-Sayed: slander first, make a quiet apology later. A second member of the Commission, Chris Sidoti, claimed that "the Israeli army is one of the most criminal armies in the world.” In fact, according to John Spencer, Executive Director of the Urban Warfare Institute, "Israel has done more to prevent civilian casualties in war than any military in history." You get the picture. Yet it was the determination of this Commission that Cornish chose to rely on to bolster El-Sayed's accusations against Israel of "genocide." Note: In 2021, in an item entitled "Get Him a Map!", I caught El-Sayed, in another CNN appearance, describing West Virginia as a "coastal state." Seems Abdul's tenuous grasp on reality hasn't improved since then. Here's the transcript. CNN This Morning 10/15/25 6:48 am EDT ABDUL EL-SAYED: Right now, this so-called deal puts all of the power back in the hands of the people who just perpetrated a genocide. There's no accountability, whether that's for Netanyahu and his enablers, or that's for our government's funding of this genocide for two years.  . . . When I talk about Gaza, we have to recognize that every dollar that we spent subsidizing a genocide in Gaza, 21 billion of them, is a dollar we didn't spend investing in feeding our kids here at home, investing in providing health care or infrastructure here at home. The people of Michigan have suffered as a consequence of our misappropriation. Now, take that and recognize that our money was being used to fuel a genocide, taking food away from other kids and health care and schools away from other kids.  AUDIE CORNISH: Yeah. El-SAYED: And that is a moral catastrophe. So my question is, who's willing to deal with that moral catastrophe and make sure that never happens again?  CORNISH: It's interesting. And one, we should note for our viewers that an independent entity connected to the UN made that determination about genocide. That is sort of the most direct version we have heard of that.

ABC’s Lead Newscasts IGNORE Hamas Holding Public Executions of Opponents in Gaza

On Monday and Tuesday, brutal footage emerged of Hamas terrorists carrying out public executions of those they claim were disloyal and “collaborators with Israel,” just hours after the ceasefire went into effect as part of President Trump’s historic regional peace deal. Between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, ABC completely omitted this disturbing turn from their flagship evening and morning newscasts. Instead, chief foreign correspondent Ian Pannell eagerly peddled Hamas propaganda hook, line, and sinker. Pannell declared on Tuesday’s World News Tonight that “[i]n Gaza, some of the nearly 2,000 prisoners taken by Israel and held without charge also reporting abuse.” He then used video taped inside Gaza (likely from a local producer) of a man “detained for 20 months saying he was told his family had been killed. It was a lie. “‘I was released, not knowing if my family was alive. It was a beautiful feeling to find them,’ he says...[T]his dispute about Hamas disarming and the return of bodies underscores how immense the challenges ahead are, but President Trump clear he wants a wider Middle East peace and that means solving Gaza once and for all,” he added. Pannell returned for Wednesday’s Good Morning America to shovel another sob story instead of showing the brutality of Hamas: Palestinian prisoners released by Israel now returning to a home that’s unrecognizable. This man came back to find his wife and children had been killed. “My daughter’s birthday was supposed to be five days,” he says. “My loved ones, they are dead.” The United Nations and aid organizations now hoping to scale up operations to begin to ease the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Although they had part one of CBS Mornings co-host Tony Dokoupil’s exclusive with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Tuesday’s CBS Evening News also omitted the executions from its coverage. That said, Wednesday’s CBS Mornings did have a partial segment on this disturbing display of Hamas’s brutality, underlining the need under President Trump’s 20-point plan for Hamas to disarm:   NBC provided a welcome contrast with two mentions on Tuesday’s NBC Nightly News and once on Wednesday’s Today. Nightly News anchor Tom Llamas even mentioned it in his opening remarks from Tel Aviv:   Citing the emotional reunions of Israeli hostages with their families, Llamas pitted those as a splitscreen to what Hamas was doing with its alleged newfound freedom: “This as Hamas gunmen were seen conducting public executions, despite the peace deal’s requirement to disarm.” NBC’s Today had chief White House correspondent Garrett Haake delivered this disturbing scene:   To see the relevant transcripts from October 14, click here (for NBC).

CNN Freaks Out That SCOTUS Might Do Away With Race-Based Districts

As the Supreme Court gathered to determine the fate of race-based congressional districts, the cast of CNN’s Wednesday edition of Inside Politics gathered for its corresponding freak-out session. Most notably, Atlanta Journal-Constitution Washington Bureau Chief Tia Mitchell tried to claim that such districts are still necessary because black voters are still being disenfranchised by Republicans. Host Dana Bash set Mitchell up by declaring, “I mean, there's so many critical angles to this, and the way that the House of Representatives would look would be different in terms of numbers, but also the way it would look in terms of race and representation would be very, very different. And Tia, David mentioned Chief Justice Roberts, if you go back to 2007, and one of the opinions that he wrote, he said, 'The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating based on race.’” She then scoffed, “I mean, that is a lovely thought. And the question before the Court is whether the United States of America is there right now.”     Mitchell began by claiming, “My question is, is the Court—how do you find evidence that states and, of course, this is going to have a trickle-down effect all the way down to local governments. But there's repeatedly evidence that race, you know, black voters are not— are being disenfranchised. They're not getting equal representation.” Historically speaking, the Voting Rights Act sought to combat disenfranchisement, which was defined as preventing black people from voting at all. However, Mitchell changed the definition of the word to mean that black voters—and by that, she clearly meant black Democrats—have a right to see their preferred candidate win: So even at that Louisiana map, when you're talking about a state where one-third of the voters are black, but that is not reflected in a lot of these governing bodies, particularly in Congress, until they were mandated to draw that second majority-black district. So how do you now argue, 'Well, we think if left to own their devices, the legislators in Louisiana are going to do the right thing.' Mitchell continued, “There's just not evidence of that. So, and I know that there are a lot of people who say we're past that. We're past the Jim Crow era. We're past the era of just drawing maps just to disenfranchise black people. But there is evidence, Black Voters Matter, they put out a really good primer on this case, and they talked about that there are, you know, Republican operatives that were helping draw maps in multiple states that talked about using race as a factor in how they drew lines in certain states.” BVM is currently free to try to convince the Court that Republicans are running afoul of the Constitution by using race to draw their maps, but BVM’s lack of success does not mean disenfranchisement is rampant. As for Mitchell, she concluded, “So, the evidence just— I know that there are a lot of people who want it to be, you know, want it to be a certain way. But the evidence is not that the U.S. has got there.” Mitchell’s entire point was that opponents of Section 2 of the VRA need to prove America has moved past the need for its existence, but the opposite is true. Mitchell needs to prove that America is still stuck in the days of Jim Crow, poll taxes, literacy tests, property requirements, and the like. Here is a transcript for the October 15 show: CNN Inside Politics with Dana Bash 10/15/2025 12:04 PM ET DANA BASH: I mean, there's so many critical angles to this, and the way that the House of Representatives would look would be different in terms of numbers, but also the way it would look in terms of race and representation would be very, very different. And Tia, David mentioned Chief Justice Roberts, if you go back to 2007, and one of the opinions that he wrote, he said “The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating based on race.” I mean, that is a lovely thought. And the question before the Court is whether the United States of America is there right now. TIA MITCHELL: And my question is, is the Court—how do you find evidence that states and, of course, this is going to have a trickle-down effect all the way down to local governments. But there's repeatedly evidence that race, you know, black voters are not— are being disenfranchised. They're not getting equal representation. So even at that Louisiana map, when you're talking about a state where one-third of the voters are black, but that is not reflected in a lot of these governing bodies, particularly in Congress, until they were mandated to draw that second majority-black district. So how do you now argue, “Well, we think if left to own their devices, the legislators in Louisiana are going to do the right thing.” There's just not evidence of that.

Father accused of murdering 67-year-old alleged rapist of his 14-year-old daughter makes startling bid for public office

An Arkansas father accused of murdering the 67-year-old alleged rapist of his 14-year-old daughter is making a surprising bid for public office after he said the "system failed" him and his family.Aaron Spencer, 37, announced last week that he's is running for Lonoke County Sheriff. As it happens, the Lonoke County Sheriff's Office investigated last year's headline-grabbing case involving Spencer.'Through my own fight for justice, I have seen firsthand the failures in law enforcement and in our circuit court.'The Facebook video from Spencer's campaign is captioned: "It’s time to bring trust, accountability, and safety back to our community. Join us on this journey to build a sheriff’s office you can believe in!"In the campaign video, Spencer notes that "many of you know my story.""I'm the father who acted to protect his daughter when the system failed," Spencer says.Spencer adds that he is a husband, a combat veteran of the 82nd Airborne Division, a contractor, and a farmer."Through my own fight for justice, I have seen firsthand the failures in law enforcement and in our circuit court," Spencer states. "I refuse to stand by while others face these same failures."Spencer also stresses in the video, "This campaign isn’t about me. It's about every parent, every neighbor, every family who deserves to feel safe in their homes and safe in their community. It’s about restoring trust, where neighbors know law enforcement is on their side and families know that they will not be left alone in a moment of need."RELATED: Thug allegedly recorded himself raping woman at gunpoint — before she shot him As Blaze News reported last October, Spencer was arrested after authorities said he fatally shot 67-year-old Michael Fosler, who reportedly was in a vehicle with Spencer's 14-year-old daughter.Spencer reportedly went to his daughter's bedroom to check on her. Citing an affidavit, CNN said the daughter was gone, but there was a stuffed animal wrapped in her hoodie under the blankets in her bed.The Lonoke County Sheriff's Office said in a statement that deputies were dispatched regarding a missing teen at approximately 1:12 a.m. Oct. 8, 2024. However, while en route, deputies were notified that Spencer had located his daughter in a vehicle with Fosler.The affidavit states that Spencer used his vehicle to rear-end Fosler’s Ford F-150 truck at an intersection, forcing it off the road."A confrontation between the two adult males ensued, which resulted in a shooting," the Lonoke County Sheriff's Office stated.According to the affidavit, Spencer told police that he "had no choice" but to shoot Fosler.The New York Post, citing the affidavit, reported that Spencer told investigators that Fosler "lunged towards him" with something in his hand and shouted, "F**k you!"The affidavit states Spencer fired at Fosler until his weapon was empty and then jumped on him and pistol-whipped him.Police said Fosler was pronounced dead at the crime scene.Citing court records, the Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette reported that Fosler was out on bond at the time of the shooting after being arrested and charged with two counts each of fourth-degree sexual assault, sexual indecency with a child, and internet stalking of a child. Fosler also faced one count of electronic facilitation of child sexual abuse and 35 counts of pandering or possessing depictions of sexual conduct involving a child.CNN added that "the family had been on edge" and that "three months earlier the teen, then 13, revealed she’d been sexually abused by a 67-year-old man she met at the home of a family friend."Spencer was arrested and soon charged with second-degree murder. Spencer was released on a surety bond and has pleaded not guilty.Spencer's pretrial hearing is scheduled for Dec. 17.RELATED: Couple allegedly tries to sell 2-month-old baby for cash, 6-pack of beer because it's 'not working having 3 dogs and a baby' A Change.org petition titled "Absolve Aaron David Spencer of Charges Stemming from Saving his Daughter's Life" was launched and has more than 361,000 signatures.Spencer's wife, Heather, said in a GiveSendGo fundraiser that her daughter had been "targeted, groomed, and ultimately raped by the boyfriend of a family friend," the Post reported."We let the justice system do its job," Heather Spencer said. "The monster who hurt our child was charged quickly, but released even faster on a $50k bond. He was awaiting court in December for several felonies in relation to what he did to our child."The mother called her husband a "hero" and said that her "child would have not come home if my husband hadn’t found her."Lonoke County Sheriff Jeff Staley told the Democrat Gazette that he couldn't comment on the Spencer case because of the pending trial.But Staley did say in an emailed statement, "I will be seeking re-election to continue being your Lonoke County sheriff. Since 2013, I have served as sheriff of Lonoke County with a clear mission — to protect our citizens and hold those who break the law accountable. From day one, our focus has been on three major threats to our communities: drug traffickers, sexual predators, and thieves."The Lonoke County Sheriff's Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.Like Blaze News?

Court upholds school's ban of 'Let's Go Brandon' clothing in free speech dispute

Court upholds school's ban of 'Let's Go Brandon' clothing in free speech dispute

On Tuesday, the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court's ruling that a Michigan school district did not violate two students' rights when the administration forced them to remove clothing with the words "Let's Go Brandon." The case involved two brothers who wore sweatshirts with the phrase to school in 2022. The students, both then of middle-school age, were asked to remove the clothing "since the phrase 'means the F-word,'" the opinion related, quoting assistant principal of Tri County Middle School Andrew Buikema. 'It contains no sexual content, no graphic imagery, and no actual profanity.'Specifically, the opinion affirmed the district court's understanding that the school "reasonably understood the slogan 'Let's Go Brandon' to be vulgar." The court decision explained in detail the provenance of the well-known expression, which originates from a 2021 NASCAR event in Alabama.RELATED: 'Let's go, lawsuit': Students sue after school forces them to remove 'Let's Go Brandon' sweatshirts Photo by Scott Olson/Getty ImagesIn a video of the NASCAR event, the crowd can be heard chanting, "F**k Joe Biden," but a reporter misreports the chant during her interview with professional race car driver Brandon Brown. She says the crowd is chanting, "Let's go, Brandon."The misreported phrase quickly became popular as an outlet for criticism of then-President Joe Biden.The opinion from the appeals court stated that the reporter either misheard the chant or was "simply trying to put a fig leaf over the chant's vulgarity.""The school administrators reasonably interpreted the 'Let’s Go Brandon' slogan as being vulgar speech that 'a school may categorically prohibit' despite its political message. Requesting that students remove clothing with that slogan didn't violate the First and Fourteenth Amendments," the opinion of the court concluded. The court split two to one in the decision. Judge John Bush dissented from the opinion of Judges John Nalbandian and Karen Nelson Moore.Bush wrote in his dissent that wearing clothing with political messaging is "the first point of entry to civic engagement." The school's intervention thus "quickly ended" the boys' "civic engagement." Getting to the core of the issue, Bush added, "The phrase at issue here is a euphemism for political criticism. It contains no sexual content, no graphic imagery, and no actual profanity. To the extent that it implies an offensive phrase, it does so obliquely — by design."Like Blaze News?
