If you’ve ever stood in a grocery checkout line and thought,
“🤔 Did Bigfoot really marry Elvis?” — congratulations, you’ve already felt the cultural impact of the National Enquirer.

For over 60 years, this tabloid didn’t just report the news… it body-slammed journalism into a glitter-covered pile of UFO sightings, celebrity scandals, and jaw-dropping headlines 🛸💥📸.

🧃🔥 Trashy? Maybe. Influential? Absolutely.

Scandalous dives headfirst into how the Enquirer figured out something brilliant (and terrifying):
👉 People don’t just want facts — they want secrets, shame, and stories they’re not supposed to read 😳📖

From Elvis’s death 🎤🕊️
To the O.J. Simpson trial ⚖️📺
To politics, Hollywood, and beyond — the Enquirer didn’t sit on the sidelines. It shook the table 🍽️💥

Sometimes loudly.
Sometimes sneakily.
Sometimes allegedly with… 💸 payoffs and 😬 blackmail.

🕵️‍♂️💰 Journalism… or Jedi Mind Tricks?

This documentary explores how one newspaper’s unapologetic understanding of human curiosity turned it into a money-printing, culture-shaping powerhouse 🧠💵

Was it unethical?
Was it brilliant?
Was it both at the same time? 🤷‍♂️🌀

The Enquirer didn’t just follow American culture — it nudged it, poked it, and occasionally tripped it in public.

📺⚠️ Quick Heads-Up Before You Watch

This documentary is produced by CNN 📡
Which means it’s slick, well-researched, and compelling — but it may lean a bit skeptical (or spicy 🌶️) toward independent journalism and outsider media.

That doesn’t ruin the ride — just keep your critical-thinking cap on 🎩🧠 and enjoy the story for what it is:
A wild look at how headlines shaped headlines… and sometimes reality itself.

🍿🗞️ Final Verdict

If you love:
📰 Media history
🔥 Controversy
🤯 Cultural chaos
😂 “Wait… THAT really happened?” moments

Then Scandalous: The Untold Story of the National Enquirer is absolutely worth your time.

Because love it or hate it — the Enquirer proved one thing:
America always reads the fine print… when it screams loud enough. 😏📢

Horror fans, camp lovers, and those who just appreciate Bela Lugosi giving his all for the paycheck—mark your calendars. On January 4, 2025, Starlight Monster Movie Madness returns with a double feature guaranteed to thrill, chill, and (let’s be honest) make you laugh at its glorious absurdity. Prepare yourself for The Corpse Vanishes (1942) and One Body Too Many (1944), two classics that prove Lugosi was the MVP of spooky cinema long before vampires sparkled. First Up: The Corpse Vanishes This gem features Bela Lugosi as a deranged scientist who kidnaps brides on their wedding day to keep his wife eternally young. Because obviously, when you need eternal youth, kidnapping brides is the logical solution. Expect foggy graveyards, ridiculous plot twists, and enough overacting to fuel your next Halloween party. 🌫️💍 #BrideBeware, #EternalYouthOrBust, #BelaKnowsBest Second Serving: One Body Too Many Here we have Lugosi playing a shady butler in a murder mystery with a mansion, hi...

Alright, mystery junkies, it’s Monday again — which means it’s time to dust off that magnifying glass 🔎, light a suspiciously dim candle 🕯️, and join Coconutdaddy for another round of Mystery Madness . Tonight’s feature? The Pearl of Death (1944). And trust me, if you think your cat knocking over a vase is chaos, just wait until you see what happens when Sherlock Holmes meets a cursed jewel . We’ve got Basil Rathbone doing his best “I’m-smarter-than-you” eyebrow game 🧐, Nigel Bruce fumbling as the most lovable yet totally useless Watson 😂, and a plot that basically says: “What if we took one pearl, made it cursed, and then shoved it into every single crime scene possible ?” Yes, dear viewer — pearls are dangerous, and this movie wants you to know it. And let’s not forget the big baddie — The Creeper. Imagine a guy who looks like he was rejected from Universal’s monster casting call but still decided to ruin everyone’s night anyway. 🧟‍♂️💥 So, why watch The Pearl of Death ? Bec...

Let’s Talk About How, Yes, It Was Real: Moms Did Fight Over Cabbage Patch Kids, And There’s Video of It!

Oh, you thought those wild Black Friday fights over TVs and toys were a modern phenomenon? Well, buckle up, buttercup, because back in the ‘80s, moms were throwing fists over Cabbage Patch Kids — yes, those weird little doll faces that looked like they’d been through a blender. And no, this is not some urban legend. There’s actual video footage of it. 🙄 So here’s the scene: It’s 1983, and the Cabbage Patch Kids are flying off the shelves faster than your hopes and dreams after hitting a dead-end job. They’re the toy of the year, the Holy Grail, the thing that will make or break your reputation as a mother. Forget the love and care you give your kids, the real question was, “Did you get them a Cabbage Patch Kid for Christmas?” And of course, mothers —yes, mothers—were prepared to go to war to get their hands on one. Sure, it’s just a doll, but with its signature look of slightly weird, cherubic innocence and big floppy ears, it was a symbol of success. They weren’t just any ...
