You're streaming screamers, glitch Queens and footage
0:04
fanatics. Welcome back to a very special
0:09
DI a Little Marcos edition of Hey Look Behind You, the podcast
0:14
there to scroll past the warning label and hit play.
0:18
Anyway, tonight we're diving head first into the horrors of
0:22
20 times the decade where our monsters live in the cloud.
0:26
Our ghosts had Wi-Fi password, and Blumhouse turned your
0:29
Netflix queue into a digital haunted house.
0:34
This was the age of FaceTime fries and cursed live streams,
0:37
when even your reflection could have a jump scare delay.
0:40
A time when Sinister made projectors for your possessed,
0:45
Unfriended made a spirit of group chat, and The Babadook
0:48
became everyone's emotional support demon before a 24 turned
0:53
existential dread into an aesthetic. 20 Tens gave us
0:58
elevated horror, mass slasher staging comeback, and found
1:03
footage nightmares that felt a little too real.
1:06
At 2:00 AM, we watched The Conjuring turn clapping into a
1:10
death sentence. It Follows make intimacy
1:14
terrifying, and Cabin in the Woods reminds us the real
1:19
monsters are the ones behind the camera.
1:22
So charge your phone, hide your location and keep one eye on
1:28
that static field mirror because this is a decade that taught us
1:31
even your FaceTime call might be possessed.
1:35
The 20 tens. The digital decade where horror
1:39
went high def and monsters started buffering right us
1:43
alongside us. We're done with the cassettes.
1:47
We're done with the DVD's. The 20 tens are now the
1:51
streaming queue, Netflix queue like we queued up.
1:57
So this week's screaming queue includes Marvel Rivals, update
2:01
players, everyone's Zombies mode, The Road to Queenslayer
2:04
where I'm at. It's very nice.
2:06
Main event reaction the last time it's now tournament Who
2:09
will be John Cena's final opponent?
2:11
Scream 7 trailer reaction Comic books Pokey Hall progress and
2:17
how close I am to complete the Pokey deck.
2:22
What I watched this week Conventionalist the scream
2:25
screams and suspicious Netflix because you watched it.
2:29
Pod decks Ice Breakers because even a horror host need a jump
2:32
scare to wake up. Cartoon reimagine as horror
2:36
films. Childhood nostalgia means pure
2:38
nightmare. View some Diaz Martha's ghost
2:41
story legends lore remembering the dead beautifully and
2:45
prickly. So grab your survivor kit, turn
2:48
off autoplay or don't and let's rewind it a decade that
2:52
redefined fear for the digital age.
2:56
First up on the pod decks. I got to ask these questions.
3:01
What's the small win this week deserve his own victory music
3:04
small win this week for me I'm going to stay.
3:10
Oh, it goes right along with the whole talking about what's it
3:20
called, Marble Rivals right there.
3:24
I got to platinum the rank. I got ranked up to platinum
3:28
finally. Oh my goodness.
3:31
The last game was a freaking stretch.
3:33
It was crazy. Yeah, yeah, I'm no longer in
3:40
gold. It's like the last few days of
3:43
and 4.5 as marvel rifles and I've made it to platinum so I
3:49
must like I'm going to keep going see what happens after
3:52
this. But so far I've accumulated 47
3:56
hours this whole gameplay for 4.529 hours as Daredevil, 7
4:01
hours as Angela and two hours as Penny Parker.
4:05
I've had 60 MVPS with seven work with 4760 K OS and currently on
4:13
nightmare 4 on the zombie mode. If you don't know about zombie
4:16
mode man is like is been talking about since ever since it came
4:22
out that the zombie mode for marvel rivals is 5 characters
4:30
but you get to 4. Used to use four players or you
4:33
get to go solo. It's Jeff the land shark, magic
4:38
punisher blade indoor and and you use only four of you guys. 4
4:50
of you guys are in a team and from all from easy all the way
4:57
to nightmare 4 is a journey to get there.
5:00
And it's crazy because nightmare 4 is nightmare 3 was fine.
5:04
I was just like I thought I was having a good with nightmare
5:07
three with just no more and Wanda Scarlet witch, Zombie
5:14
witch at the same time. No, in zombie 4 you get 2
5:18
witches, 2 scarlet witches and it was ridiculous.
5:22
I hate it. I couldn't deal with that.
5:25
So I'm going to try and finish that one off this week or before
5:31
the week of season 5 a start. Pick one to bring back
5:39
RadioShack, Blockbuster or Tower Record.
5:42
I'm going to say Blockbuster. I know there's one already in
5:45
Oregon, in Bend, OR, but you know, bring the whole franchise
5:50
back. Might as well.
5:52
Like I'm sure they're not. They they'll have the videos and
5:55
the DVD and whatever They don't. Whatever Netflix doesn't have,
5:58
maybe Blockbuster should have it right there.
6:00
Sure, why not? Same thing when Blockbuster was
6:04
competing with Hollywood Video. Like Blockbuster doesn't have
6:07
it. Hollywood Video has it, alright,
6:10
cool, but it's offensive. Same with Netflix.
6:13
Netflix doesn't have it. Blockbuster will have it, but it
6:15
will be expensive. Who?
6:21
What was your Saturday morning cartoon lineup?
6:25
Saturday morning cartoon lineup that was recessed.
6:33
I think on the Disney cartoon lineup, but it was recessed.
6:37
It was, I want to see Pepper and X-Men, X-Men 93 X-Men when it
6:47
was just called Uncanny X-Men and Power Ranger around there.
6:54
It's not a cartoon, but still, it was fun to watch.
7:02
So yeah, those were the projects.
7:03
We got the projects going down. All right, cool.
7:07
Saturday night's Main event sounds all right.
7:14
It could have been better. You know, what's it called?
7:21
DM Punk versus Jay USO that of course, we all predicted that DM
7:25
Punk was going to win. Got that win.
7:29
Cody Rose and Drew McIntyre didn't watch it, didn't really
7:31
care about it. Dominic versus Rusev versus
7:36
Penta. Dominic one.
7:38
Obviously the thing that freaking surprised me the most
7:42
was Jade versus Tiffany Stratton because it was only like a 5
7:48
minute match and it was a squash match.
7:52
And I'm like after all shit that Tiffany went through to get
7:55
here, fight off 9 jacks and like win and all that stuff.
8:02
Fight off Charlotte Flair and Wayne and that stuff and then
8:05
you get beat up by Jade and Lou, your bell, no less.
8:10
It's like that was a squash match.
8:12
I don't know what happened, but that was a splash.
8:16
All in all, I want to say like a three out of five.
8:21
It it it the last two matches lived up to the hype.
8:25
That's it. I enjoyed those.
8:28
Also announced on that night John Cena final opponent will be
8:33
tournament in a 16 man tournament beginning Monday
8:35
November 10th. Competitors from Ross,
8:38
Smackdown, NXT or even people who don't work here will be
8:41
involved. The tournament is called the
8:43
Last Time is Now tournament. So who do you guys think will be
8:48
the final opponent? It'll probably go from or from
8:53
Raw or from Smackdown or from NXT or or from TNA and AW.
8:58
If it is AW and AW is involved, that's great, but it's just
9:02
going to be like war from beginning.
9:04
And this is where Edge comes in. So let's set November.
9:08
Starting November 10th, we fight.
9:11
If we find out this week who needs all the the entire 16 men,
9:16
16 men are we'll do a very special episode of that and
9:20
we'll talk about those sixty men.
9:23
I'm sure men is going to love that.
9:25
So like she adds, like are we going to do what do we have?
9:29
What do you mean? We want to do like an episode
9:30
every week? Yeah, to go through the whole
9:33
tournament. Like we're just going to talk
9:36
about the tournament though. Like, yeah, there's going to be
9:38
stuff going on in the on Raw and Smackdown, all that stuff in 16,
9:43
but we're going to be talking about the tournament.
9:44
So let's get through the tournament, let's see it, let's
9:48
watch Drew, let's discuss the tournament and all the way
9:53
through the finals because I know I'm going to enjoy watching
9:55
this guy. Also, Bailey tweeted out if
10:02
asking if women can be in the tournament as well because you
10:06
know she wants a shot at John Cena.
10:08
Also, Scream 7 trailer came out and it to me was great.
10:20
I don't know why everybody's complaining.
10:22
People have been complaining. There's like a lot of people
10:24
complaining because of how they handled Melissa Pereira last
10:29
year, a few years ago and General Ortega when they left.
10:34
So like, you know, there's all these people that are saying
10:39
like, Oh my God, this can't wait to watch this movie.
10:41
And then there are all these people that are saying I won't,
10:43
we're going to boycott this movie.
10:45
But nobody wanted to. So like speak for yourself.
10:50
In the 1st 12 hours, the Scream 7 trailer got 14 million views
10:54
on TikTok, 8 million on Instagram, 7 million on Twitter,
10:58
7 million on YouTube, 36 million views in just 12 hours.
11:04
Within those 24 hours on the first day of release, the Stream
11:09
7 trailer got 16 million views on TikTok, 13 million on
11:14
Instagram, 11,000,000 on Twitter, 11,000,000 on Facebook,
11:17
10 million on YouTube. That is 61 million views all
11:22
together. So that right there just proved
11:26
that what's going to happen. There's a lot of theories
11:33
already already within the within the first few days
11:37
already there's theories about who's who is behind the mask,
11:42
stewed behind the mask. They're saying stews behind the
11:45
mask are saying other people are behind the mask.
11:48
I went to the casting and saw Keith Dulrich and the guy that
11:52
was played for Roman and Part 3 and even Dewey's in there was
11:56
like, wait, they're dead. So it's going to have like a
11:59
bunch of back story, bunch of back stuff and stuff.
12:04
So I'm I'm all for it. I love it.
12:09
But let's go off Sydney very, very big time freaking.
12:15
Oh, you did not just say that. Hear me out.
12:20
Sydney has been the mainstay in the movie for a decade, even in
12:26
stream five and six. I was wondering where Sydney at?
12:31
Why are we talking? Why are we, why are we doing
12:35
with Melissa Barrera and General Ortega's character?
12:37
Like they're forgettable, obviously, because I don't even
12:40
know the name, the names of the characters.
12:42
I just noticed like Melissa Barrera is the daughter of Billy
12:48
Loomis, you know, and General Ortega, just, I don't know who
12:52
she is, like her sister, something like that.
12:55
Anyway, then you see Billy show up and few scenes as a ghost and
13:03
I was like, are we doing this really?
13:06
It's OK Goes back to Halloween, how it ended at Halloween 2 and
13:15
then they brought it back for Halloween 4 and it's like a
13:17
completely different storyline. They went somewhere else with
13:20
that. And then they brought back Jamie
13:23
Curtis for H2O and you know, it was really weird because so same
13:30
thing with Scream. So I'm saying don't OK, be be
13:35
your fear against killing off Sydney at least hurt her because
13:39
it's been a while since we've had a Empire Strikes Back ending
13:48
of a movie produced a no Empire Strikes Back Star Wars episode
13:53
4, no episode 5. I'm sorry, episode 5 the middle
13:57
of it. And then like, you know, New
14:00
Hope, the rebellion wins, Empire Strikes Back Darth Vader and his
14:07
the empire win. And then we get into a return of
14:11
the Jedi. Where is like, you know, so it's
14:16
been a while since we have that in a in a horror movie.
14:20
So let's bring that in here and have Sydney get hurt, not dead.
14:26
Maybe then you get hurt going to the hospital.
14:31
The killer wins. Ultimately in this one the
14:35
killer wins, but live on to live see another day.
14:42
The Sydney's daughter named Tatum, named after his, her best
14:48
friend from Part 1, Tatum. So Sydney's daughter Tatum, it
14:57
has to do the revenge shit. And in part 8, there's your
15:04
return of the Jedi, return of the green, return of the Queen,
15:07
basically the return of the spring Queen.
15:10
That would be great. So, you know, don't kill her
15:14
off, but same time hurt her, hurt her enough to where she
15:19
comes back and actually destroys this fucking franchise for good
15:27
and ends it and that's it. And like, you know what, I'm
15:31
moving to another country because somebody said that on
15:33
Twitter is like, why don't you just move to fucking Australia
15:35
now? Like freaking ghostfish gonna
15:37
follow you and be like, wait, mate, what's your favorite scary
15:40
movie? Somebody says on Twitter?
15:43
So it's like, alright, cool, but what I want to see is return the
15:51
Vampire Strikes Back moment on Stream 7 where the Killer wins,
15:58
moves on to #8 and we get to see Sydney come back for one last
16:04
hurrah and the franchise. That's it, we're done.
16:06
Do another rendition of Stream, but don't bring back Sydney and
16:10
just end it right there if you want.
16:16
Let's move along. Let's move along to comic books.
16:18
It's my favorite topic this week.
16:23
I bought 4 comic books. 4 comic books #1 Murder podcast.
16:32
This was great. Published by Ignition Press
16:37
written by Jeremy Hahn art by Mike Ciceran released on
16:41
September 10th 2025 What happens is a Mina a true fan a fan of
16:48
true crime podcast. It pulled into a deadly mystery
16:50
when pressed Buzz fully ended podcast start popping up and
16:54
real murder. Follow the story sets a chilling
16:56
tone of you listen and you die. Why read it you If you're into
17:01
horror that interacts with modern tech obsession podcast
17:04
through crime culture. This drunken view is sold out at
17:07
first run quickly, which suggests buzz is real.
17:11
So the first panel even on this thing was from crazy.
17:17
Oh my God, this girl living in suburb listening to the podcast.
17:27
The podcast ends and it's like on a cliffhanger, like how where
17:31
we're going to find out next season, blah, blah, blah.
17:34
And you know, when you're listening to Spotify or any
17:37
podcast on Spotify, music on Spotify, after the fucking
17:40
podcast of the song is done with, it automatically sends you
17:45
to the next thing. That's the what's happened here
17:48
too. So you know, she's looking at it
17:51
as I go. You know that sounds.
17:55
So she presses play. She start listening to it.
18:00
Next thing you know, she's repeating everything.
18:03
She's the everything is saying. On the other hand, her boyfriend
18:08
comes up or husband doesn't know you.
18:10
Don't we I see they said something about wife and
18:13
husband, all that stuff. You got me interested in this
18:16
one. I'm glad I do.
18:17
I'm glad I do. It's so awesome.
18:18
I love it. So the boyfriend comes up like,
18:24
hey, what you going on? You know, like kissing her and
18:26
everything, but she's talking to herself.
18:27
She's repeating the same words that the podcast is saying.
18:31
And he's like, oh, OK, nevermind.
18:33
So he walks away from her. She goes over to the kitchen,
18:36
grabbed a knife, stabbed him up the shoulder blade right there
18:40
and he's all like what the fuck, you know, like what are you
18:43
doing to me? So she grabbed a freaking she's
18:47
a stay at home wife from what I gather, because she had like a
18:51
whole deck and everything. She grabbed the a pant, a cake
18:58
pant and just wailed him in the head over it and destroys him on
19:03
the ground everything. And then the podcast and she
19:06
stopped talking. She comes to, she looks down and
19:09
stream bloody murder. Next scene is the main
19:13
characters, 5 main characters Mina and her friends are talking
19:17
about, you know like they all live separate lives and stuff.
19:21
They all have work. They're they're hipsters
19:23
basically. One of them is a Blogger, one of
19:28
them is a writer, the other one is doing other stuff.
19:31
They're other working, but they also have a group chat.
19:35
You know, they all have to say something as soon as they're
19:37
done talking to each other. So they hear about a new crime
19:45
that happened the night before, which was the wife killing the
19:49
husband. And they're like, all right, we
19:54
got to go, we'll see each other later, blah, blah.
19:57
They start walking away. Mina ends up staying at the
20:00
coffee shop and like a few moments later she leaves.
20:06
Three hours later she leaves and she has texting the group chat
20:10
like you guys want to do it or no, It's like, what do you mean
20:13
the what happened to to the wife and husband?
20:16
Like, yeah, no, this is some brand of bullshit.
20:19
Let's not do it. I was like, all right, fine.
20:22
So she was walking and then she sees this guy beating up this
20:26
guy, this other guy, and on the ground, same thing, repeating
20:30
everything that the podcast is saying.
20:33
And then Mina's all like, what the hell?
20:36
So the guy goes after Mina, Mina's all like, no.
20:39
And then it ends right there. So I got #1 I needed #2 I went
20:44
to go get #2 but I couldn't find it.
20:46
Murder podcast #2 released October 2022, October 22/20/25.
20:52
Chaos escalates, bodies are piling up.
20:54
The mysterious podcast. It's now a personal nightmare
20:56
for Mina and her friends, and the investigation becomes much
20:59
more personal and dangerous. It builds directly in the first,
21:02
but raises the stakes straight for horror fans who likes and
21:06
the slow drip of tension evolving into crisis.
21:09
Also got Vampirella Halloween horror number one.
21:14
I opened up a little bit of it. I love Vampirella, I love
21:17
everything about Vampirella, right?
21:20
Published by Dynamite Entertainment, written by Liam
21:22
Johnson, art by Jordan Michael Johnson.
21:24
Released in 2025. One Shot Vampirella investigates
21:28
a paranormal serial killer who is targeting vulnerable youth.
21:33
As she digs in the NYC, she confirms not just the killer,
21:35
but the question, when is your gift really a curse?
21:39
Why I read it. It's for fans of horror super
21:42
superhero mashups. Vampirella has coal appeal and
21:45
this issue looks like a strong modern take on her mythos.
21:48
Dark, stylish and suspendful Marvel rivals King in black #1
21:54
Marvel Comics a fun high concept time.
21:58
Several heroes Jeff the Lanchak Rocky raccoon sings for a girl
22:02
find themselves in the symbiote homeworld of Clinthar.
22:05
Their friends begin to turn evil be a symbiote corruption led by
22:08
a symbiote Bontella. Only Blade in Phoenix might have
22:13
a shot at saving them. Thank you.
22:17
Why read it Is Marvel with A twist humor, symbiote horror,
22:21
oddball team up great for casual fan of Marvel, weird side and
22:26
those following the Marvel rival game time.
22:30
And it's basically last season of everything that happened last
22:34
season. So it's like it keeps doing
22:36
that. So next January we're going to
22:39
have the one from this season that's up here with Angela and
22:45
Daredevil. So we're going to get them.
22:48
And then I got Cloak or dagger #1 published by Marvel Comics,
22:52
read by Justina Ireland, arc by Lorenzo Tamita, released on
22:56
October 29th, 2025. It's set in X.
22:59
Years later, in the Age of Revelation, the event timeline,
23:02
Tyrone and Tandy, Cloak and Dagger are married, but their
23:06
powers have changed. They can no longer exist in the
23:09
same plane of reality at the same time.
23:12
They're working in mutant territory chaos thanks to the X
23:14
wires and basing a major threat for the Fenderous Twins.
23:18
Why do you have to read it? If you love legacy characters
23:21
with A twist, this one hit the most of a beat.
23:23
Marriage identity is separation and cosmic state.
23:27
Mutant Ultimate Plane is a strong launch point for the Age
23:30
of Revelation era and offers something deeper than a standard
23:34
Bureau fare. So we had over the comic books
23:38
I've read this week that I got this weekend and I'm going to
23:42
continue reading them. I the marble rivals Vampirella
23:47
and Copen dagger. I did say we're going to do
23:52
Pokémon binder stories. You all know I started
23:57
collecting back in March and I was on a journey to have all
24:00
1044 Pokémon cards in that binder and build my pokedex.
24:06
As of now, we are now at 12 cards left that I need.
24:12
Four of them I just bought this past weekend, on Saturday or
24:16
Friday this past week. And obviously yes I went to a
24:21
bit more even though I like I already gave out like a bunch of
24:28
Pokémon cards from my bulk on Halloween.
24:31
I ended up giving out the kids. I put it in a in a baggie, put
24:37
it at least 2530 cards with booba from Wendy's.
24:43
What else? A trick or trade card packing of
24:49
trigger trade, which is Pokémon but the Halloween style Pokémon
24:55
and then some candy. And then I gave it out to the
24:57
kids in a baggie and they loved it.
25:00
Apparently I heard that the parents are like the kids said
25:04
that they love that, they love that they enjoyed it.
25:09
And so I'm going to do it again next year for Halloween.
25:12
I was thinking maybe I should just like drop some off at the
25:15
park and see who catches them, who like goes around and looks
25:20
around and stuff. Maybe throw in a little mini
25:23
binder and put it on the side at the park.
25:27
Do it again for Easter, Just throw it out there as well.
25:30
I'll see what happens to know Pokémon binder stories, here we
25:37
go. I made this binder.
25:41
I have a lot of binders, obviously, but there's one
25:44
binder where I have just like stuff that I want to collect
25:50
because why not? There's a Hallucha section.
25:53
If you don't know who Hallucha is, he is a wrestling Pokémon.
25:59
Yeah, he's exactly a wrestling style Pokémon with a luchador
26:06
mask and everything, and he does lucha libre style move and I
26:10
love it. So I decided to collect as many
26:13
as I can because I keep seeing them and all the ball.
26:17
So I got like at least four or five of them.
26:20
I also got Travis, which is a garbage Pokémon.
26:22
I love this Pokémon. I don't know why, It's just like
26:26
it. It makes me happy seeing this
26:28
Pokémon. It just does.
26:30
I know he's garbage, I know he's supposed to be a garbage
26:33
Pokémon, but still, it's so funny seeing this Pokémon and
26:37
it's so cute. And then there's Dino or Dino.
26:41
I don't know how you say it, how you pronounce him, but he's an
26:43
emo Pokémon. Yes, he's blind because he he
26:48
has his freaking hair on his freaking face.
26:52
He's lying. He can't see anything and he
26:54
will bite you. But the fact that his hair is
26:57
right there covering his eye that alone right there makes him
27:01
an emo Pokémon. And every time I see him where
27:04
are you? I'm so sorry, like I have to
27:09
sing to this freaking dinosaur Pokémon because for saying why
27:15
are you, why are you guys not respecting this for dinosaur
27:18
Pokémon? You know?
27:20
So I have a Lucha, Travis and Dino intersection and these are
27:26
three are my favorite Pokémon right now at this moment.
27:29
And I love it. I love it.
27:30
I want more of them. So like, yeah, I, everybody else
27:35
says that their favorite Pokémon are Pikachu and Raichu and EB
27:41
and all these other Pokémon. But mine, mine are just a
27:45
wrestling Pokémon and EBO Pokémon and the garbage Pokémon.
27:50
Just why not? It's just like this.
27:52
Is there like 3? Well, two of my favorite things
27:55
and then the garbage one is fun. Speaking of Pokémon, GameStop is
28:02
increasing prices for Pokémon cards.
28:06
Yeah, and it's fucking it. It's crazy.
28:10
It's crazy out there. ET VS are going from 60 to $70.
28:14
Booster boxes are going from 200.
28:16
Two, $140. Essentially, they're cutting out
28:18
a piece of the secondary market for themselves.
28:21
However, I don't want to. Yeah, I don't want to be that
28:26
guy, but at the same time, go to Walgreens.
28:30
Two of my favorite Walgreens stores are changing and they're
28:33
like putting stocks up because they told me every time I go
28:37
into my two of my favorite Walgreens are like, Hey, I, I
28:41
know that you guys that you always buy these type of Pokémon
28:45
cards and this one and, but you know, pretty soon we're going to
28:56
sell more than that. We're going to sell ET VS which
29:00
are elite trainer boxes, which are just like these things right
29:05
here. Don't ask me how I got this
29:11
those and you know, and then booster boxes, which is just
29:16
like these right here, but they're boxes, they're big.
29:24
They're basically bigger. Two of these, a big size box of
29:30
this. So, and then the booster packs
29:37
are going to be, according to GameStop, the booster packs are
29:41
going to be like $8 and stuff. So the lady tells me at
29:45
Walgreens like, yeah, we're going to sell that too.
29:47
You know, like, all right, cool. So like, you know, just like a
29:51
month ago, we're like a month later.
29:54
So I'm looking around, looking at the prices now, right, And
29:57
where they're going to be at, they're going to have 10 cans
29:59
for about $12.00, 12. The small tin cans for about
30:06
$12.00. The big tin cans are $24.00.
30:09
The ET BS are going to be $45.00.
30:12
The booster boxes are going to be like $120.00.
30:18
That knowing these prices right here from GameStop.
30:23
And then like why are you guys selling overpriced?
30:29
And then like, you know, Walgreens is all like 40
30:34
dollars, $30. Like damn, what what this
30:40
doesn't make sense. But at the same time, I hope
30:46
they're they're going to, they are going to sell the little
30:48
things again. They are going to sell the which
30:52
just random stuff in there instead of just like you opening
30:57
up a pack and finding the same stuff over and over again.
31:02
So yeah, those are the ones that are that I'm going to go and buy
31:06
as soon as this to Walgreens aside to like, hey, we sell
31:10
Pokémon stuff now. Yeah, there's other stuff in
31:14
there as well. Lorcana.
31:14
They're going to sell Lorcana stuff.
31:16
Finally. They're going to sell binders.
31:19
Obviously they're selling binders at the moment, but
31:21
they're going to sell the the Pokémon version of the binders.
31:28
And yeah, so that's about it for Pokémon stuff as well.
31:33
Where am I? 30 minutes?
31:35
That's awesome. All right, what?
31:38
When I watch this week, Final Destination Bloodlines and
31:41
Sinners. All right, So Sinners, directed
31:46

31:51

And set in 1932 in Mississippi Delta, twin brothers Smoking
32:03
Stack returned to their hometown, trying to lead their
32:05
troubled life behind the attempt to open a nightclub with stolen
32:09
money, but encounter supernatural evil lurking their
32:12
hometown that welcomes them back in a deadly way.
32:17
That evil is a vampire. So you know, it's a vampire
32:23
movie is like, it just became one of my favorite vampire
32:26
movies of all time right now after that, because the music is
32:31
so amazing. I love the music.
32:34
I'm going to look for the soundtrack.
32:37
The story is just fucking completely awesome as well.
32:41
And there's some sex scenes in there, minus sex scenes.
32:44
So, you know, if your kids are watching it, just chill on that
32:49
as well. It's like, hey, turn the other
32:51
way. But All in all, it is a great
32:55
movie. It is.
32:56
It's like great movie to watch on anywhere, anytime you want,
33:00

33:18
Southern gothic, supernatural, horror and even musical
33:22
elements. It said a milestone the film
33:25
pulled and you know the president and Monday box office
33:27
for a horror film. Early data shows a strong
33:30
domestic performance on Monday, which is unusual for the genre.
33:33
Director Ryan Guler used his production company Proximity
33:36

33:41
after that Final Destination Bloodline.
33:44

34:03
Owen Patrick Joyner and Allure Greg Basinger and veteran horror
34:08
actor Tony Todd who is witnesses last last movie ever before he
34:16
passes on. There's Dixon Stone in the
34:19

34:40

34:45
from Rotten Tomatoes, which is best in the franchise.
34:48
Obscure behind the scenes fact when it's just broken for the
34:51
film. The oldest person ever to be set
34:53
on fire on camera for full blood body burn.
34:56
A retired stuntwoman aged 71 performed the stunt.
34:59
She said do it, burn me. And they did this installment is
35:04
the longest in the franchise running time.
35:07
I had 109 minutes and marks a major push into a high concept
35:10
that pieces in practical effect. They're also making another
35:13
final destination after the seven final destination 7.
35:19
Like what else can you tell? Umm it it drove the March to the
35:30
1st 2 movies in way like you can't like Oh my God, there's no
35:36
way. And there it is there, there it
35:39
is. Oh shit.
35:40
OK, we see what you just did there.
35:42
That's funny. Good job.
35:46
From the first movie to train train scene and then the logs
35:51
and then from the second movie to logs, everything is just
35:57
there and I love it. There's a couple twists and
36:02
turns in there as well. The death scenes are crazy, but
36:09
at one point I was like, you know, I'm sure you've heard of
36:15
it where Richard Harmon's character had a, a piercing on
36:20
his nose and he gets stuck and he's like catches him in the
36:24
freaking air and everything. And I told that to my best
36:30
friend, like, Oh, Becca. I told that to Becca and she
36:34
immediately started crying. It's like, no, don't tell me
36:37
that. No, because she has.
36:39
So, you know, it's funny, but he survived that.
36:45
Let's just say he survived that. And then the, the his the true
36:50
death scene from this, you're going to be like, what the fuck?
36:55
Also, yeah, those two movies are those two movies I watched this
36:59
past week. Oh my goodness, those were fun.
37:05
I highly recommend it, especially Sinners and Finalist
37:10
Nation. They're they're fun, right?
37:15
So this past week I asked if you could turn a cartoon into a
37:20
horror movie, which what would you do?
37:23
I got Leanna saying Rugrats. Steeler girl, 08 says curse the
37:28
cowardly dog. June's random life says
37:30
SpongeBob. The horror is realizing they're
37:33
all slowly dying because the ocean is warming because the
37:35
frog in the water bath and they don't realize that they waste
37:38
away and being through friends. Jesse says Teletubby is already
37:43
halfway there. Kirsten says Foster's home for
37:46
making new friends. Sam says Powerpuff girls lol
37:50
Angel says Fraggle rock and pig in the rain and Kendra says
37:54
Adventure Time. I said recess.
37:57
Greg said Thundercats. So I asked ChatGPT what these
38:00
cartoons would look like if they were returning to horror.
38:03
So here's when it came out. I'm not I'm not going to tell
38:05
any say all of them, but you know, here they are recess.
38:11
I like this what they picked here, but same time like I had a
38:14
better different different mindset of what what I wanted to
38:19
happen. It'd be the playground.
38:22
Reese's the playground pack genre psychological through
38:25
Petro horror tagline The bell business.
38:27
Miss you they do. After the mysterious
38:30
disappearance of their teacher, a group of 6th graders return to
38:32
school only to find the playground frozen in the eternal
38:34
recess. The swings move on their own,
38:37
the titter balls please, and ghostly laughter echoes from the
38:39
jungle gym. Every day the same game repeats,
38:42
but when the bell rings, one of the kids never comes back.
38:47
The horror twist? The Recess gang realized that
38:49
the playground itself is cursed. The supernatural loop powered by
38:53
the spirit of Miss Spenster, who made a deal with something in
38:56
the stool basement to stay young forever, but now it feeds on the
39:00
children who refused to play by the rule.
39:02
Think of it. The faculty meet Silent Hill
39:05
with that pastel 90s Disney color palette turned sickly and
39:08
rotted, and then the chalk drawings in the hallway change
39:12
every morning, spelling out the name of whoever died next.
39:15
What I had of mine was, you know, it's a, it's the same
39:22
thing how recess was back in the day with the politics of recess,
39:28
with the politics of the older kids and the king of the
39:36
playground with that unibrow in the in the helmet.
39:40
Yeah. So he would be the one to tell
39:44
them, you know, off with their heads if he didn't like it, if
39:48
he didn't like how they were playing.
39:51
So and the, the, the five that are best friends are the ones
39:59
that are trying to save recess. The other kids, they're the
40:01
kindergarten. The kindergarteners are the ones
40:04
that are crazy. They be like they're, they're
40:07
massive. They.
40:09
People use these kindergarteners and they attack the everybody
40:13
from all the, all the, all the kids.
40:17
But they're the ones that are like, you know, spelling out the
40:20
name of whoever dies next, spelling out names of the kids
40:25
that have already dead. TJ Detwiler is the one that
40:32
survived. Everybody else died.
40:34
TJ is the only one that survived.
40:38
Ashley, the athletes are just like, you know, mean spirited.
40:43
The babies, That'd be creepy. The babies, yes, the babies.
40:46
The babies are the creepiest because they're just freaking
40:49
running around not paying attention to the rules or
40:52
anything. TJ Jettwiler is the one that
40:57
survived. The Ashleys are right there.
40:58
Spinelli is right there too. And like, she's a token screen
41:03
queen and you have every everything of their trope.
41:09
What they do on the show happens out here, but it it die, die
41:15
during it. So yeah, Greg's pick.
41:19
Thundercats. The curse of third earth cosmic
41:22
feature horror. The Thunder roared again from
41:24
the death of madness. A group of archaeologists I've
41:27
nursed the remnants of the thunderous civilization Birds.
41:30
We need to see desert. When they activate animation
41:33
Relic, the fared of Mamre awakens.
41:35
Bringing with him, you say the resurrected versions of the
41:37
Thundercast themselves. They are no longer heroes.
41:40
They are beasts driven by ancient hunger and primal rage.
41:44
Here's the twist. Lionel becomes a monster's
41:46
hybrid, a part man, part cat, part God who believes the
41:50
archaeologists are the ghosts of his fallen theme.
41:53
He haunts them 1 by 1, whispering their names through
41:56
the sandstorm. Think a 24 level Erie with the
42:02
mummy adventure me the sing transformation horror the movie
42:08
big visual reveal. Have to gate them.
42:10
They're a temple with feature hieroglyphics, animated
42:13
movement. When the light passes over them,
42:15
every shot reveals new faces hitting the stone.
42:19
Rugrats playpen genre, body horror, psychological.
42:25
They said they could be here. The babies talk, but what if the
42:27
babies were talking back? A young babysitter discovers an
42:31
abandoned daycare where time doesn't seem to pass inside.
42:34
Those of the script rock them slow Twice Whisperer and Static
42:37
Field baby mothers play lullabies backwards.
42:40
Soon she finds an old VHS tape labeled Tommy's First Birthday,
42:45
and what she sees on the tape doesn't match what's on the
42:48
news. The horror twisted to the
42:51
ruggers are experiments children who were part of the 90s
42:53
government mind control study. The consequences were left
42:56
trapped in the toys of their failed psychic experiment.
43:00
The playpen becomes their prison and they want out sync
43:04
hereditary meets channel 0 scandal code with bright primary
43:08
colors and Fisher Price toys turned sinister.
43:11
The sound designer could use actual baby monitor static
43:14
recording slow down. Eerie enough to cause genuine
43:17
discovery to protest audiences. The Little Mermaid The Drowned
43:22
Kingdom Gothic core dark fantasy.
43:25
Every witch has a weight in every voyage.
43:27
Tacos Set in the late 1800s, a group of deep sea explorers
43:31
discovered the ruins of an underwater Kingdom and awakened
43:34
something ancient. Among the core of Thrones, and
43:36
still the couriers, lies a siren queen with a shattered crown and
43:40
a hunger of socks. When one of the crew placed on
43:43
the graph recording of her melody, the ocean itself begins
43:45
to bleed through haunting vision, the team realized the
43:49
fairy tale of the Merlin mermaid was propaganda.
43:51
The mermaid didn't lose her voice for love, she traded it
43:54
for vengeance. Cast idea and Anya Taylor Joy as
44:00
the rest of the time Queen. Inspired by Ariel Alexander
44:03
Skarsgard as Captain Devereux, Guild ridden explorer, Lupita
44:07
Neonan as marine biologist Dr. Ansell and Dave Desmachen as
44:11
crew member who gears the siren first, the film sound team could
44:14
build the siren song using underwater recordings of whales
44:17
slowed down to 100 times mixed with reverse opera vocals
44:20
similar to Minnesota marked unused inducing sound design.
44:24
The mermaid prosthetically be practical effects, not CGI,
44:27
echoing the shape of water with phosphorus and gales that glow
44:30
under black light. I want to go to Pinky and the
44:36
Brain. Project Cortex.
44:38
Same lab, dark at night in the near future.
44:40
Lab A I researchers discovered a paragenetic the author of lap
44:45
mice, with rapidly retaining intelligence.
44:48
When one brain learns how to interface with a neutral network
44:51
controlling capability, it begins executing a plan to take
44:54
over the world, starting with the minds of its creators.
44:58
Pinky is the only thing standing between humanity and extinction,
45:02
but he's beginning to evolve too.
45:04
The films on Pretty Crass would be animated, the nice cartoon
45:06
style gradually glitching into photorealism as it don't ship
45:09
horror. Pinky, Pinky and the brain,
45:13
brain, brain, brain. I would love it.
45:21
All right, we're we're done with that, so let's fucking go.
45:28
Yes, right. Let's do a ghost story from deal
45:36
with Muertos because I, I know like, I'm not going to be able
45:41
to do all this stuff. Yeah, All right.
45:48
Last story of the night and then we're done.
45:53
Reddit, This from This comes from Pilate Dead on the Reddit
46:00
ghost stories thread six years ago.
46:03
Dia de la Muertos. So I grew up in Southern
46:05
California in a town that big time celebrated Diata Los
46:09
Muertos. I'm not Mexican, but my oldest
46:11
daughter's father is from Guadalajara and so I've done my
46:14
best right in here to feel connected to her roof.
46:16
I moved to the Midwest years ago, finished a PhD where I met
46:19
and married a white guy and we have a little daughter together.
46:23
I've always put out a friend us for my Irish Nana and my German
46:26
grandfather because growing up in the Mexican community taught
46:29
me the value in such tract and I like to keep my oldest kid
46:32
connected to where she was born into her culture.
46:35
Last year, my husband's father died rather unexpectedly.
46:38
From the late onset muscular trophy, my husband has really
46:41
struggled, which is lost over the past year.
46:43
His father, Randy was a wonderful man, the salt of the
46:46
earth railroad worker on the SU line.
46:49
Ally knew him for four years, but I loved him deeply.
46:52
When he died, my husband changed.
46:54
We're both professors, my husband and I, and his
46:56
dedication at worker slip. He drinks a lot more.
46:59
He's often loved late watching football with his father's ashes
47:02
nearby. He cries out of the blue.
47:05
Randy was such an important part of what motivated him to be a
47:08
great father, husband and scholar.
47:11
He was the kind of blue collar social justice warrior.
47:13
Baby boomers is hard to find. So this year I asked my husband
47:17
if I could put out in a friend of a Randy.
47:19
I got her photos in his shoe line hat, his ashes and cold
47:22
summer sausage and PBRI placed all next to Nana's or Brenda on
47:27
a built in bookcase in our front living room.
47:29
Yesterday I lit candles. No big deal, the kids were trick
47:33
or treating and had friends over and there was fun chaos all
47:36
around the house. The candles glowed and the
47:38
friends were background reminders of the family.
47:40
We missed nothing. Not worthy, just like all the
47:42
years before. My daughter said her hello to my
47:45
Nana and grandfather, grandmother and this year to
47:49
Randy and we went about our holiday as usual.
47:52
But after the kids went to bed and my husband came home from a
47:57
get together with colleagues, we had a stern disagreement about
48:00
her drinking. I was upset that he continues to
48:03
rely on alcohol to help him cope with his three.
48:05
He was apologetic and kind, but still very much in denial.
48:09
He hopped off the bed, drunk and discouraged, and I stayed
48:12
downstairs to turn out light and blow out a candle.
48:15
I went to the ofrenda. I stopped and I do every year
48:19
has a long talk with my Nana. We were very good friends in
48:22
life and I miss her a ton every. And I miss her a ton, even
48:25
though she died 16 years ago now.
48:27
I took care of her while she was dying in the night she passed.
48:30
Very overwhelming. It's a long story.
48:32
Most people saved my father, who was there with me, believed.
48:35
But when she died, she came to the front door and knocked on
48:37
her loudly to tell her she was going.
48:40
It was incredible. And to my father and I, who are
48:42
atheists, it shook us into agreeing there there is more to
48:46
living and dying that we know. So there I was at 3:19 AM,
48:52
talking to my Nana like she was there in the room.
48:54
I was sober but for a glass of rose.
48:57
I drank for my grandmother, and I was listening to Ah Sweet
49:00
Mystery of Life on my phone, one of my Nana's favorite Irish
49:05
apparatus. I was just chilling in the field
49:08
about my Nana, not thinking of Randy at all really, when
49:11
suddenly his framed photo shot or pushed forward with such
49:16
force, flinging salami and beer out of the shell.
49:21
His hat flew from the shelf and beer went everywhere.
49:24
I was stunned. I couldn't move for a moment.
49:27
I just stood there, shaking and trying to figure out how in the
49:31
hell the mess happened. Nothing of my nana's, no coffee
49:35
or toast or photos were disturbed.
49:37
My grandfather, my grandmother's, a friend, was
49:40
untouched as well. No wisdom, no windows were open,
49:43
nothing had shifted or fallen except every single item
49:47
associated with Randy. I was crying suddenly, picking
49:50
up a salami and beer and laughing.
49:52
OK, OK, I'll go get your son. I said out loud.
49:56
I ran upstairs, almost giddy, and woke my husband.
49:59
I didn't tell him what had just happened, but I insisted like a
50:02
crazy person that he had to go down and talk to his father.
50:06
He did. I left him downstairs and tucked
50:09
in. Today he told me he talked to
50:11
his father until sunup, that he and he's the most atheist while
50:15
atheists felt his father there with him.
50:17
Listen to him, loving him, helping him with his grief.
50:21
My white as hell husband who is always very cynical but my ideas
50:24
on death and living in things like a friend does thank me for
50:27
calling Randy home to us. And he said next year going to
50:30
grill him steak. Happy deal Marcos, I love that.
50:37
Oh, that's fun. Oh man, that's so fun.
50:42
I love reading stories like these.
50:46
I kind of want to reuse. I was like looking for other
50:48
ones, but you know, like that. That's the only one that got my
50:52
eye, so now there's no other one.
50:56
This is it right here. That's it.
51:09
That's beautiful. It is fun.
51:11
It is fun and very fun. All right, that's it.
51:14
We're done. And that my creeps and creatures
51:23
of the stream wrapped up our blood splatter stroll through
51:27
the horrors of the 20 tens a decade where fear went digital,
51:31
trauma went trending, and every mirror felt like a teaser
51:35
trailer waiting to jump out at you.
51:38
Now, sure, October might be over, but just like Christmas
51:44
can start early, horror doesn't end when the credits roll.
51:50
It lingers in the dark corners of your watch list in that one
51:56
movie you never finished and the shadows of your autoplay queue
52:00
whispering, still watching. So keep those Jack O lanterns
52:06
lit and the door just slightly cracked, because next week we're
52:10
logging into the pandemic era of horror.
52:15
We're going to do the rest of the 2010 to 2019 top five and
52:20
the top five of 2020 through 2025, where isolation became the
52:25
new monster and jump scares came with buffering symbols.
52:31
We're also talking about games that terrified and hooked as an
52:34
equal measure. Slender Man Emily wants to play
52:38
Five Nights at Freddy's, the ones that turned survival mode
52:42
into a panic attack with a pause button.
52:44
Because sometimes the real horror was just being online for
52:49
way too long. Until then, tell me, what was
52:53
your favorite decade of horror? Was the grainy VHS chaos of the
52:57
80's, the metal screams of the 90's, the torture trends of the
53:01
2000s, or the digital dread of swing tabs?
53:05
Tag us, share the show with your fellow scream addicts and
53:08
remember you can listen to us on Spotify or watch the madness
53:12
unfold on YouTube because horror never dies, it just uploads
53:16
itself to another platform. This has been Hey Look Behind
53:20
You only on my Third Place podcast where community,
53:23
creativity and a little bit of COVID chaos always collides.
