Blood Is Seen Leaking From Nearby Funeral Home And It's Kind Of Terrifying

Residents spotted the creepy sight of blood leaking onto the road from a Louisiana undertaker’s business on Thursday afternoon. The images sent a shock wave throughout the community and the internet. We are going to try to figure out what caused this bizarre incident... So right off the bat, what comes to your mind when you think of the cause of blood leaking from a nearby funeral home? What could have possibly happened inside the cold walls, among the cadavers? For a lot of people, one thing comes to mind. Well the scene is right for this to be the work of none other than The Tall Man, the murderous undertaker from the Phantasm series. He was an undertaker who sought fresh humans for his zombie army. He even had flying spheres that would bore into people and drain them of their blood. If its blood someone, or something, is after, maybe it was this guy? The classic blood-fiend Count Dracula, could’ve stopped by for a fresh vial. Is it possible he tripped on his cape and spilled it all? The first movie to ever show a pool of blood leaking from an unknown source, was this film, The Leopard Man . Master filmmaker Jacques Tourneur crafted a terrifying cinematic gem for the 1940s, which first depicted the now infamous stock use of a pool of blood gathering under a door way. You know it could’ve possibly been Leatherface, the savage cannibal from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre . His creator, underrated filmmaker Tobe Hooper did just recently die, so maybe he was taking out some frustration on some corpses? Keeping with undead retribution, its entirely possible this was a zombie horde looking for their also recently deceased master, George Romero. The man who popularized the zombie genre, also made a film called Martin about a kid who thinks he’s a vampire and forages for blood, so maybe it was him? Speaking of titular boogeymen, Halloween is around the corner so maybe some people are getting in early on the fun. Look no further than Michael Myers, the star of John Carpenter’s classic about a vengeful bigot of babysitters. He’s also got a new movie coming out next year, so maybe its viral marketing? Keeping with classic cinematic serial killers, did anyone stop to think Jason Voorhees, of Friday the 13th , maybe stopped in? He hasn’t done a lot of slashing lately so maybe he’s trying to limber up for when Hollywood revives him from franchise purgatory? Maybe it was Jason’s rival Freddy Krueger, seen here getting ready to administer embalming fluid to a much-needed corpse. It’s possible he got a little sloppy during the process? Given how big of a mess he was with Johnny Depp’s blood in the first A Nightmare on Elm Street , it’s a worthy cause to check into. If this is the kind of spills Freddy makes, then yeah, of course he could somehow spill gallons of blood across a lawn and road. All roads could possibly lead to Pinhead, the demonic tormentor from the Hellraiser series? Again, not the cleanest when it comes to handling blood. It’s been awhile since I saw this one, but from what I remember, he could also make a bloody mess like no one’s business. How would any of these hulking monsters get in there? Maybe it was a smaller cause. Look no further than this murderous little devil, Chucky. Don’t let his size fool you, he could have totally caused that red mess. Not so fast: there are other tiny killers in this world. What about Blade, Leech Woman, Six-Shooter, and the rest of the gang of deadly puppets from Puppetmaster ? You all can doubt as much as you want, but they haven’t been heard from in awhile, so this might be them making a little noise again. If it were march I’d say to blame this guy, the Irish demon from the Leprechaun series. Unfortunately he only comes out around St. Patrick’s Day or if someone stole his pot of gold. Maybe someone should ask if any gold was stolen recently? Maybe its someone more unsuspecting? Someone who isn’t as notable as the rest? Look no further than the devil-genie from the Wishmaster series? What is this series you ask? I’m not really sure and I’m not sure many people know the answer to that. What if it was the Predator? They are known to hunt humans and are also very into keeping their body parts. Maybe this Predator wasn’t as good a hunter as his fellow alien bros, and so he resorted to stealing skulls from dead bodies, in a ruse to best his extra terrestrial rivals? Maybe we need to think classic: The Wolfman. Yeah this would make sense. Since he only does this crap during a full moon, maybe that was the night? Do we have records of it happening on the night of such a rare nocturnal occurrence? Maybe poor Carrie had her prom again and someone dumped pig’s blood on her, AGAIN, and she went for a lonely walk that night, flipping cars with her mind and setting mental fires to houses? This does seem plausible but I’m still going to keep guessing. Since Twin Peaks is back and full forth, maybe it was the demonic BOB? He does like making violent messes in small towns so possibly? Only thing is BOB isn’t really interested in blood; he’s more the garmonbozia type, so let’s keep on with this deep investigation. Wait, maybe it was the Kool-Aid guy? Lets be honest, that guy is an accident waiting to happen. You’re telling me after decades of bursting through concrete walls, that your glass skin might not hold up such pummeling brutality? After awhile that glass is going to break fool. So maybe that’s just really red fruit drink? So I know I’ve put you through many far-fetched, movie-centric interpretations of what I think happened. But can you blame me? Does this news story not look like this scene from The Shining? Well, after much fantastic theorizing of the cause, we have our answer. City officials said a stoppage in a line had caused the blood, which was mixed with an embalming fluid containing formaldehyde, to leak from a storage tank located behind the building. The leak lasted for only about 20 minutes, however, and the liquid did not find its way into the city’s sewer system. “We sent both our sewer inspector and our environmental specialists to take a look,” Adam Smith, with the City of Baton Rouge Department of Environmental Services, told WBRZ. “We determined that it wasn’t a sewer issue and that it was an issue on private property.” Smith also noted that it was now a priority to get the funeral home, which is under new management, signed up with the proper permits. It’s unclear whether the business will receive a citation over the incident. So there you have it. It wasn’t monstrous serial killers, horrible prom pranks, or slowly cracking 90’s cartoon ad characters: it was a simple leak from a place that stores up a lot of blood. I guess the mind can always go to fantastic places when such sights are presented, but we can all rest easy to know this came from simple, everyday, negligence. h/t Viralized Support ViraScoop by doing your Amazon shopping through this link.
