  Speaker 2: I'm your host Austin Proctor and joining me today is
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: the man himself from what a Jason Hill make me
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: watch Mr. Jason Hill how are we doing tonight I'm
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: doing okay.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Doing okay a little bit later than we usually record.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at my dad's... I almost had a panic
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: attack for a second. I'm looking at my dad's time.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: It says 11.13. I was like, are we starting recording
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: at 11.13? What in the hell?
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: His clock is messed up. His camera is messed up.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at a gray screen right now. Very sad
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: that I can't see Jason's beaming face, but it's okay.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: He's here. He's here. It's a rare appearance that he's
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: on the show. He's But, you know, he is with
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: us in spirit on every episode since we go over
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: a movie he recommends. But this was actually so what
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Jason does is he'll be like, hey, I can record tonight.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: It's a long shot, but I'm available. And I'm always like, damn,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: I wish I had something we could do. And then
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: we just started going back and forth and came up
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: with this idea to do like a Jason pick Halloween
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: recommendation episode. And I was like, well, fuck it. I'll
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: throw some on there too. And so we picked 13 movies, um,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: you know, some deep cuts, some maybe overlooked movies. And
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: then of course I have a couple on there that
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: are widely known that I just think are fun to
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: watch around Halloween and And we did 13 because we
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: were originally going to do 10, and then I was like,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: let's just do 13 because we might have some overlap,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: and 13's a spooky number, whatever. So that's what we're
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: going to do. And, you know, I'm not even going
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: to edit this episode. This is just going to be
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: something I post because, fuck it, now everybody can hear
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: how terrible I am at speaking and how much I
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: have to edit. my own voice because i stutter a
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: lot and i'll stumble over words or can't think so
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: this is just going to be one long episode with
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: no cuts so enjoy everybody and see how terrible i
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: can actually talk so uh thank you for one you're
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: kind of coming up with this idea and two making
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: it happen uh late night saturday i love or friday
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: god i'm already i'm already way ahead of myself um
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: but you've been watching a lot of good stuff this month. Uh, tell,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: tell us some things, some standouts for you that you've
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: been watching on your, uh, I guess, I guess dubbing
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: at your kind of 31 days of Halloween.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I've been watching, I'm like, I've watched 18
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: horror movies so far this Halloween. Uh, and I've been
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: trying to basically be like one a day if I can.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Sometimes I'll backload, I'll do a couple in a day,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: but I watched, uh, Poltergeist 2 for the first time?
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Not a good sequel. Not a good sequel.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: It's not great, yeah.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: And I have not seen Poltergeist 3 and I'm like,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: you know what? I probably might wait until maybe next Halloween.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'll get that one. Of course, that was even
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: more depressing because not only is the oldest daughter dead
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: after the first one, tragically, the youngest daughter dies in
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: the third one. So that was pretty rough. What did
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: you think of VHS Halloween? Did you like that? So it's, it's,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: it's on your list.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: What's that?
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Was that on your list?
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I was going to add it on the list, but
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: I figured we would, since, since it did recently come out, uh,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: you know, this October, I figured we would just kind
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: of talk about it. Cause it's, um, it's one of
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: my higher rated, honestly, it was gonna, it was honestly
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: probably going to get like a full five for me.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: As we all know, I rate things very high, but
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: it had that one fucking short. That was, uh, we
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: talked about it. Like there's, there's gotta be some commentary
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: we're missing, but the kid print short was just another
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: level of just kind of fucked up. You know, I'm,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I've always said I'm always here for kid death, kid
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: deaths on screen. Like, you know, it's just something that
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: most directors don't do. And when you go with that
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: extra level, it's just like, okay, we're, we're extreme. But
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: the one that it just completely bogged the pacing down
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: and took me out of how much fun I was having.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: But then it did end on a really good haunted
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: house one. So I liked it. I gave it a
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: four out of five. And I think it's number three
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: or four on my Halloween or the VHS rankings. But yeah,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: that kid print short really just didn't fit in. Because
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: there was a lot of violence against kids in that one.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah. It's much more of an
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: over-the-top thing. The kid print one was like, this is
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: just fucked.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is just... It's got a very sensitive topic
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: in there. And then the resolution is not great either.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: But there's something that... I don't know. Maybe I'm just missing...
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: I had one person on Facebook, because I'm in a
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: found footage group, and this one guy was like, the
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Kid Prince short was probably the best VHS short, and
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: I gave him a very goofy GIF reaction, and like,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: you might be on a watch list somewhere, because if
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: that's your favorite, I don't know. That's very strange. Ultimately, though,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: I think it nailed the Halloween aesthetic. I love that
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: it was specifically centered around Halloween. There was a lot
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: of fun shorts like the bites are fun size was
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: so good. It's probably my favorite one. But honestly, they
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: all hit pretty fucking good. And then kid print came
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: along and I was like, oh, so yeah. But I mean,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: overall for you, what did you think of the most
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: recent installments?
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I gave it a three. Yeah, I
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: gave it a three. The kids really brought it down.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Even though I didn't like that one, it was the
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: one that felt the most like a classic VHS story.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: The first two, they do feel like you're watching a
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: snow field, you know, which is kind of the point
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: of the first two.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: And this was the one I felt the most like that. Oh, yeah.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: The one with the guy was getting like even the
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: shotgun blast and then candy balls came out of their
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: head or big giant gum balls. This is a little bit. Yeah. Um,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: this is how far we've come for the VHS series.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Well, and it's funny too, because my, one of my
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: big issues with how they've kind of moved the, the
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: franchise from, I'd probably say maybe, maybe since they started 94, uh,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of shorts now that are included where
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: it's like, how are we finding this footage? Like, especially
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: the first one in VHS Halloween. How that one ends,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: you're like, who's getting this footage? How did we even
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: obtain this? But they've kind of really moved away from
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: what started it, like VHS 1 and 2. There are
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: people finding VHSs and putting them in to watch them.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: So really, I think we've kind of moved away from, oh,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: we found this footage, to we're just having fun watching.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: doing crazy shorts and I can appreciate that, but it
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: doesn't fit really with the whole VHS kind of aspect.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: I really, really want them to go back to form and, uh,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: actually do shorts where, okay, this is something like, you know,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: we found this, this is actually found footage, not just
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: a wacky short, but I mean, my God, the first
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: short was killer. Second short was really good. I think
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: there was five total. The one that Paco Plaza did, uh,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: director of rec, The only one in Spanish, of course,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: was probably the strongest in terms of storytelling. Oh, my God.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: That one was crazy. And it was very ambiguous, too.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: It didn't explain a lot, but it was very creepy. So, yeah, overall,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: VHS is a good time. It's on, I believe it's
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: either a Shudder. I think it's a Shudder exclusive. I
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: can never remember if it's original or not.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then last, but of course, you mean to
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: tell me that they just found footage of a white
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: planet in space where somebody's kept regenerating forever and ever
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: for eternity?
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: That was my biggest problem with VHS Beyond was that short.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: I was like, ooh, this is a really good short.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: And then she flies off into space and you're like, okay,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: how are we getting this? This doesn't even make sense. So, yeah,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: that's like my biggest problem with the VHS, some of
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: the shorts. It's like we have to be able to
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: obtain this footage somehow. So, yeah. But I mean, if
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: you kind of they like I said, they've kind of
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: moved away from that. So I've gotten over it in
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: a sense, but it still irks me a little bit.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, this isn't we're missing the point of
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: VHS at this, you know, at this point in time.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: But.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Uh, so that, that's a good one. If you're into,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: you know, like me, I'm into found footage. So I
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: already have a, uh, I already rate those higher than
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: I would normally, but, um, I've been doing, uh, Hooptober
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: for the first time this year. And it's been fascinating
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: on this. Honestly, I've been watching just a lot of
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: stuff I didn't think I would ever really see. And
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: I'm probably going to continue to do it because the
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: criteria is just so fun. You know, it gets put
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: out by Cinemonster every September and the criteria is different
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: every year. And it was really fun trying to find
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: something to fit everything. And then I even had a
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: couple of freebies in there. Most of them are foreign
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: because one of the criteria is like nine countries outside
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: of Italy and the U.S., So, you know, I've got
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: like a Thai movie in there, a Indonesian in there, Canadian,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: stuff like that. So it's a lot of fun, but
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: I've been watching a lot of good shit. And on
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: top of Hooptober, I mean, like just other spooky movies
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: as well. I think that's all I've watched this month
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: is horror movies.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: No that's that's i've been like me as well i've
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: been like i know when i'm trying to catch up
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: for 2025 i've been pretty slack on that um.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah there's been a lot too that have just been
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: uh been streaming as well that have just gone like
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: there's so many on shutter i have to catch up
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: with there's a a new spanish one called in invasion
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: or invader or something um yeah there's a lot of
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: good stuff that's been coming out that i still have
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: to catch up on as well That's the problem in
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: this age with movies is it's not just theatrical stuff.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: There's just shit dropping on HBO Max and Shudder and
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Prime and all of these places. And it's exhausting to
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: try and keep up with all these releases because some
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: of them all, they all look so good, but I
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: just don't have the time.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it never ends.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: It never ends.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: I can't watch movies all day, unfortunately.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: I know. I'd love to. I'd love to just, just,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: that's all like when I retire, you know, and when
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: I'm 75 or whatever, uh, it's probably all I'll do
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: is just fill my days with movies. So, uh, but yeah,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: it's been, it's been an interesting year for horror and
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: there's still plenty more on the way. Uh, black phone
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: two is, uh, out this weekend. We're actually going to
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: go see that here because, uh, it, the trailer just
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: looks so crazy, uh, honestly. and the ratings are doing
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: pretty good. So, um, yeah, I'm, I'm excited for the
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: rest of the year. And there, there's also, uh, Frankenstein, uh,
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Del Toro's Frankenstein, which is coming out, which is good.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: It's getting a limited theatrical. It should actually be, I
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: think the 27th or 17th of this month. So that's fun.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: And then it drops onto Netflix on November 7th, I think.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: So there's one other one kind of bigger one that's
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: coming out later. I forgot what it was.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: Um, um oh shit now yeah wrong honestly yeah it'll
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: come to me you're already making weapons too oh.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah weapons too they're supposed they're supposed to be doing
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: like a prequel on gladys and uh i mean hey
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: zach crager has a script for it i fully trust
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: him so i say go for it because i don't think.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: I had no clue.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's in talks to be done. And he says,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: you know, obviously, if it's something that can be done
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: and be done correctly, he would totally be into it.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: And if, you know, if he's in charge, I trust him.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: He's not going to do something that he doesn't have
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: full confidence in. So I'm very excited about that. Anything
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: else you'd like to mention up top before we jump
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: into these lists here?
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: So like I said, we've got 13 here. Jason, mine
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: are arranged just in order of ranking. So, you know,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: how many stars I gave them. I'm going to start
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: at my lowest rated, work my way up to my
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: highest rating. And Jason just has them all mashed in together.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: And that's, yeah, that's perfect. It doesn't matter the rating.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: I just, or it doesn't matter the, how we do them.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: I just, I just always put things in an order.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Real quick, real quick, though, one that's on my it's
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: not on my list, but one I think people need
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: to revisit because it just gets so much hate is
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Halloween three. I know it doesn't have Michael Myers in it.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: I totally get that. But to me, I think that
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: movie encapsulates the Halloween spirit perfectly. And if you can
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: just take just take the Halloween out of it, just
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: call it season of the witch. I don't know. Just
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: revisit it. Because I really feel people just hate on
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: it because there's no Myers. And I totally get that.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: It's upsetting to have a Halloween movie with no Michael Myers.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: But to me, it is just the perfect representation of Halloween.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: And there's a lot of just creepy shit in that movie.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: And it's got Tom Atkins, so... Anyone out there who's
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: not a fan of it, just revisit it and see
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: what you think. But let's go to your number 13
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: and see what you've got. I'm wondering if or what
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: our overlaps will be. Because if we don't have any overlaps,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be kind of astonished. So what do
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: you have for number 13?
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Number 13, I actually watched this one yesterday. Slither from 2008.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: It's a fun creature feature. uh from uh james gunn
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: now the uh uh superhero guy of course former trauma
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: trauma graduate i guess if you can say uh and
• 15:09

  Speaker 2: And that's something that, like, if you've never heard of
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: it or, you know, it's new to you, don't even
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: look at the description on that one. Just go watch it.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: It's James Gunn, and it's a creature feature mostly done
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: with practical effects.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: It's almost like Nathan Fillion is, like, the millennial version
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: of Bruce Campbell. Everybody likes it. Yeah. It needs to
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: get more. you need to get more work i mean
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: i realized he had that tv show castle that ran
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: over ever but i feel like he should be bigger
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: than he is yeah.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: I feel the same way because everything he's in he's
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: also in firefly but you know that the whole that
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: whole thing fell apart but he's just so he's so
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: good in everything and he just has this presence about
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: him like he was in that new Fantastic Four movie,
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: and he was so fucking funny in that movie. I
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: love Nathan Fillion, and anytime he's involved in a movie,
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: I'm going to see it, even if he's not, like,
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: the star.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: So number 13 for me is a movie called Ghostwatch
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: from 1992, and I think we've talked about this one
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: on the show. I can't remember. but it is, uh,
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: it is literally for, for Halloween, 1992, the BBC decides
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: to broadcast an investigation into the supernatural hosted by TV
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: chat show legend, Michael Parkinson. And it's a camera crew
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: that is attempting to discover the truth behind the most
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: haunted house in Britain. It has a pretty insane rating
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: of a 3.8 out of five. Uh, it's only 91 minutes.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: It's streaming on shutter. Um, I didn't like it as
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: much as another one on my list, but it was
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: a fun time. I gave it a three out of five.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: So that's the lowest rating movie on my list. But
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Ghostwatch is a good time just because it takes place.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: It's like a Halloween special that they did that they
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: presented as real. But then they had to backtrack on
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: that because there was an unfortunate event that came of
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: that situation where someone actually took their own life because
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: they thought like the it's, it's a whole thing. You
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: can read the story. I won't go into it, but
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: they had to backtrack and be like, no, no, no,
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: that wasn't real. So, uh, it's, it's very interesting, uh, little,
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: little movie there. So that's my number 13.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I've been watching it for a long time. I
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: just never have gotten to it. I have a movie
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: in my life. It's similar to that, though. It wasn't
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: portrayed as real. It was, it was 100% a joke. Yeah.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Okay. And I honestly think the, cause I'm pretty sure
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: it's the same movie I have. I think that came
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: out after, and I think it might've been, It might
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: be possible that they were totally riffing off of this
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: idea that feels like it could have happened, because this
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: was 92, and I think the other one is maybe 99.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: But yeah, Ghostwatch, it's definitely something fun. I need to
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: revisit it, because like I said, it has a 3.8,
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: so clearly I missed something. So what about you? What
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: is your number 12 here?
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Number 12 for me is a... Good gateway horror for
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: a lot of kids. It's called The Gate from 1988,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: I think. Yeah.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. The Gate is a good one.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: It really is. It's got little creatures. It's like a
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: good Charles Band movie. You've got little creatures. You've got
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: death metal. You've got vinyl records and a horror movie.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: It's just a really... It's PG-13. It's very Canadian. It's
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: very Canadian.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: 1987 okay i thought it was i thought it was
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: 88 but yeah yeah 87 it's 86 minutes too it's
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: you know it involves pint-sized demons that get summoned from
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: a hole in a suburban backyard it is oh my
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: god okay well i apparently need to rewatch this because, oh,
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: I watched it in 2019. Okay. I only gave it
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: a three. That seemed pretty low for the gate. So
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: I'll have to revisit that one, but it's got a
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: lot of good practical effects too. Obviously in the eighties, uh,
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: that are a lot of fun. Um, isn't there a
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: gate too? Is there a gate too?
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there is. From what I remember, it kind of sucks.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Fair enough.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: I don't think, I don't think I've seen it since
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: the 90s, but from what I do remember, even then,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, this is just not that great.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: I think I'll just stay with the original and not
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: worry about anything after that.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Yes, there is a Gate 2 from 19, so three
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: years later, they made a Gate 2, and the first
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Gate has a 3-2, this one has a 2-7. Some
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: horror movies just don't need sequels, you know, especially like
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: a low-budget 80s movie. We don't need, you know, we
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: don't need a second one. You're not going to capture
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: that magic twice. There's just no way.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Right. take another gate in the hell in your, in
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: your other suburb and backyard.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Awesome. I love that pick two, two picks right off
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: the bat. I love, uh, number 12 for me is
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: a fun little indie movie called Satan's little helper. Uh,
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: synapse actually put out a blue ray of this a
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: little while ago that I picked up. Um, and it's,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: I think it takes place actually on Halloween, uh, because
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: they're pretty sure they're trick-or-treating, and this little boy that's trick-or-treating,
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: he unknowingly becomes the pawn of this serial killer, and
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: the mask is great. It's just a fun little, I
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: don't know, it's from 2004. It's just fun. It's on
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Shudder if you want to check it out. It's just
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: kind of a... Ooh, you good?
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Sorry, my AirPod fell out of my ear. I didn't
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: get on the roller. But yes, I didn't mean to
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: scare you. That movie's on my list.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, save the little helpers on your list. Okay, all right.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: So we've already got one right there. So that's one
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: that's a similarity. Yeah, it's a fun time. I gave
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: that one a three out of five. Need to revisit it, though,
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: because I thought I gave it a higher rating. But
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: it's got some, you know, how much.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Go ahead. J-Bob did it for Halloween last year. J-Bob
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: did it for Halloween last year. Oh, did he? Yeah. Nice.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: For the Halloween special. I forgot what the other one was,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: but yeah, that was one of them. And I remember
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: watching that when I was like, I remember I was
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: like at my parents' house, like chilling out. And it
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: was on like Fuse. Remember the Fuse network?
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Like the Canadian. They showed it for Halloween. I think
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: I was the person I watched it.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah. it's just so wild and especially like the third
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: act just gets completely wacky it's they there's they clearly
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: had an idea they executed it and they had so
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: much fun with it and i always appreciate that especially
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: because it was a pretty micro budget movie i think
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: it was i think it was like under 50 000
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: they made it for uh but it's it doesn't feel
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: cheap you can just you can just tell that they
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: didn't have a they didn't have a huge budget But
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: it's a lot of fun. So that's my number 12.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about your number 11. What do you got?
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Number 11 for me is a pretty big one. You
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: probably have this on your list. Cabin in the Woods.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, I don't have that one on my list.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: I think that's a really, really good, really, really solid
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Halloween watch because it just kind of encompasses everything. If
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: you haven't seen it, then you've seen it. You're listening
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: to this podcast. You've seen it, I'm sure. It's just
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: a really, really solid, really, really crazily awesome written horror movie.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: And I remember seeing that in theaters and being like,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: what is going on here? The entire third act is
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: just a blast and a rollercoaster ride.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah. We did that for 2011. Uh, so I like
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: that you're bringing it back up because yeah, it's such
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: like that third act is so crazy. You think everything
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: is over and you're like, all right, everybody's celebrating and
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: having tequila. And then it's like, Oh no, hold on.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: There's more here. I love, I love a good fake
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: out ending. And that one has a really good fake
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: out ending. Uh, and performance performances are incredible from, from
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: literally every, there's not like a weak person, like a wink,
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: weak link in the chain on that one. Um, Apparently though,
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Satan's little helper had a budget of 60, $ 650, 000. So
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: fuck what I said of $ 50, 000. I don't know what
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about. Uh, but yeah, cabin in the woods,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: solid time, solid, um, how like Halloween vibes. Cause you're right.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: It does have everything. It's got zombies. It's got the merman.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: It's got unicorns. It's got giant.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: It's got a copyrighted, not quite Hill raiser, but pretty
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: much Hill raiser. Right.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: It's got the, it's got the hell raiser vibes for sure. Uh,
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: but yeah, they did. They just did their own version
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: of it. Okay.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Hellraiser. Uh, I second that one for sure. Um, my
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: number 11 is a movie called Hellfest. Uh, it, by
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: all accounts, Hellfest is not a good movie. And I
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: know this because you really have to suspend reality as
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: a whole. And for a movie that's based pretty heavily
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: in reality, as it's a haunted house attraction where, uh,
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: A serial killer has gotten loose. I mean, it's, it's
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: something that could happen. It's unlikely, but it could happen.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: So if you just take logic and you take reason
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: and you take reality and you throw it out the window,
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: you have a great time with it because it is
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: for someone who does a lot of haunted houses. It
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: is like not a fear of mine, but for it
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: to actually happen would be terrifying. So it's on Halloween night, too.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: That's when it takes place. They're at a horror-themed theme park,
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: and a killer begins just killing people in haunted houses.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: It's got a 2.5 on Letterboxd, very low. My rating
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: of a 3.5 is just pure enjoyment because they committed
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: to the bit. Tony Todd even pops up for a
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: little bit, if I'm not mistaken.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That seems pretty low for that movie. Now, granted,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: I get Hellfest and Halt kind of mix up sometimes
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: in my head, because they're very similar. Very similar premise,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: very similar movie. You think Halt, haven't you?
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and even Bloodfest, too. Bloodfest and Hellfest are very similar,
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: and they came out around the same time. Haunt was
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: the year after. So those three movies came out like boom, boom, boom.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: So I think people get them confused. But yeah, 2.5
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: is really low.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: I will agree with that. it's not a great movie,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: but it's better than 2.5, I feel like.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly. And like I said, my rating is just,
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: it's just solely based on enjoyment because you do have some,
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: you know, some unlikable characters, but then you also have,
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: I think there's some good reputation, or reputation, representation for
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: the queer community. I believe there is some representation there,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: which is good. But yeah, ultimately it's just, it's not
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: a logical movie. It's just, It's just fun because it
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: kind of brings elements of like Saw into it with
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: some traps that he uses and stuff like that. So
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: it's a fun time. So that's my number 11. What
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: about your number 10?
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Number 10 is going to be another little creature feature
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: that I revisited recently called Arachnophobia.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: I remember watching that when I was a kid. The
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: network television premiere back when I was still a teenager. Um,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: it's just a really fun spider movie with, uh, Jeff
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Daniels and John Goodman. And I'm surprised we never got
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: even a direct to video sequel for this thing. I
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: really like to watch like cozy small town war movies
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: from Halloween. And this is that movie in stains. And
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: John Goodman, God bless him. He is a national treasure.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: He is fantastic in his movie for sure.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Ragnophobia is a fun one. It's a, it's one
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: that I think I'm going to try to interject into
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: next year's format just because I don't feel like it's
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: mentioned enough. Like people know about it for sure. but
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: I don't feel like it's mentioned enough. And John Goodman
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: in a horror movie is very, I mean, I'm sure
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: he's done more. I guess 10 Cloverfield Lane would be
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: another horror movie that he was in. Yeah, but very
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: few and far in between. And he's great in that
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: playing the pest control guy. And it really, and you know,
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: Jeff Daniels too, horror movie. Like it's just got such
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: a weird cast that feels like it wouldn't work, but
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: works like perfectly. It's so much fun.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's got that. that early 90s Spielberg Amblin feel
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: to it. It just feels, it's just a fun movie.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: And you're right, I feel like I call it Millennial
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Jaws because I feel like we like people that watch
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: that movie and it has a very similar kind of
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: premise to Jaws and there's Spielberg's involved and he can
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: very much, instead of being like the new sheriff in town,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: he's the new doctor in town. It sort of has
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: that similar premise. That was not as good as Jaws.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying it is, but it feels kind of
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: like a Jaws for millennials.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's more, you know, because Jaws, by all accounts,
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: isn't really like a fun movie. It's pretty serious in tone,
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: but arachnophobia has that fun 90s vibe to it, which
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: in the small town setting too, which I've Which I
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: think that's kind of rubbed off from you to me
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: because I love a good small town movie, especially like
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: a rural setting, like out in the Midwest. I don't know.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: I've just really become accustomed to, oh, okay, we got
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: a small town. I'm in. I love it. So, yeah,
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: I've really, really started getting into those. as well. And
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: arachnophobia is exactly that. So that's a great pick for,
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: and again, that's, that's kind of a deeper cut. Like
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: I said, people know about it, but I don't feel
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: like it's talked about enough.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Exactly. Like everybody knows arachnophobia, but I feel like nobody's
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: watched it. Nobody's watched it in 10 years. Right. Yeah.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Everybody was like, oh yeah, I like that movie. I
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: haven't seen it since 2006 when I graduated from high school,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: but it's a good movie. It's great.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so revisit it. Let's see. My number 10 is
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: a movie called Gravy, which is a very strange name,
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: but it takes place on All Hallows' Eve where a
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: trio of costumed misfits with very special dietary requirements sees
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: a Mexican cantina and force the staff to engage in
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: a late night late night of gaming food and libations
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: it's a wacky movie good practical effects indie horror movie
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: that came out in 2015 wow it's already 10 years
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: old and if you look at the poster art for
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: it if you're going to search for it yes Sarah
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: Silverman is on that poster because she is in the
• 30:47

• 30:58
  Speaker 2: There was more cast I didn't get to. Yes, Sarah
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: Silverman is in it. I can't remember how much she's
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: in it, but she's in it. Also, the chick from
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: Paranormal Activity 2 and 3, Molly Ephraim, is in it
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: as well. She's in Last Man Standing as Tim Allen's daughter.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: It's a fun time. It's just a goofy fun time.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Three and a half for me. Have you ever heard
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: or seen Gravy?
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Heard of it i think i actually came across it
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: scrolling on like tv or something not too long ago
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: but i was but i've never seen it no so
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: i have no clue but i guess there's more time
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: for october and it's a halloween recommendation from you i
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: need to get to that i'm trying to watch movies
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: i haven't either i've never seen or haven't seen in
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: a long time.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: That's yeah no that's exactly what i've been doing for
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: hooptober i tried to pick as many movies I hadn't
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: seen or movies that I like American psycho is on
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: there that I did not like the first time. And
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: now rewatching it, knowing what I, knowing what to expect, dude,
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: it was such a great movie. So yeah, either movies
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: I haven't seen in a while, didn't like the first
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: time or brand new movies. Uh, cause it's always fun
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: to expand your, your movie watching.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: So, um, you're going to watch Halloween. You're going to
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: watch trick or treat. There's other movies out there that
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: you can watch. Knocked over.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Yeah. Like we all have the, we all have
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: the ones we got to hit, but it's also fun to,
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: you know, check out new stuff. So, uh, what about
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: your number nine here?
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: All right. Number nine, another gateway war would be earnest, scared, stupid.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: I watch this every October. It is a staple here
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: in the Hill House for me. And it is so dumb.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: And I can't believe Disney made it. And it was
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: actually the last Disney Ernest movie. And it's just such
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: a good time. And it does veer into that. It's
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: for kids, but it's too scary for kids. It's too
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: dumb for adults. But if you're a kid in the 90s,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: it was perfect. And I watch it now and I'm like, yeah,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: there's flaws here. Yeah, this is cheesy and pretty stupid.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: Why does the troll have two noses? It doesn't make
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: any sense. But it's a good time. Eartha Kitt is
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: way over the top as a damn crazy person. The
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: timeline really doesn't make sense as far as the old
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: people from the first time and then when they do
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: save the world from the troll invasion. And they're throwing
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: milk at all these people. It's, it's, it's just a
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: total blast. And it takes place in Halloween and it's
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Ernest going, who Ernest?
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I need to get a, uh, there's no Blu-ray
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: for it. And there is a, like a multi-pack on
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Amazon for 25 bucks, but I just want, I just
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: want the, the earn. I just want Ernest scared stupid. Oh,
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: there is a Blu-ray for it, but it's out of print,
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: and people want copious amounts of money, so never mind
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: on that.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's been the issue with a lot of the
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: Ernest movies, because I think there's a little bit of
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: a rights issue, because Disney has, up until the first
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: couple through, the Christmas one too, but then the rest
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: of them are all just kind of independently made, and
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: it's just sort of an issue. I've got the three-pack,
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: because there's Ernest Goes to Camp, it's uh ernest goes
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: to jail and ernest cares stupid.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: Okay maybe i'll just have to get that then because
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: that's i mean that's three movies for for you know
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: for one price and maybe i'll just grab that because
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: it's on amazon it's 25 bucks so i'll just throw
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: i'll throw it in the cart for now and then
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: uh wait till i get some points.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: That's a good good good idea there all right have
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: you seen you understand growing up have i seen what
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Were you an Ernest fan growing up?
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Dude, so, you know, going back to my roots as
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: just a Christian conservative household, I mean, we celebrated Halloween.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: I would go trick-or-treating, but, like, I just didn't, unfortunately,
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: grow up on some of the classics like Ernest or
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: just any of those kind of gateway horror movies because
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: it's not something my parents really watched. I mean, we
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: spent more time watching, like, goofy comedies from the 90s. Like,
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: you know, my parents would... It's weird. My parents would
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: let me watch, like, Liar Liar and Happy Gilmore and
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: all that stuff. But when it came down to stuff
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: like this, it was just never in the house. And
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: I never seeked it out because I was too young
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: to know the difference. You know, growing up in the 90s,
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: I didn't have a cell phone until almost ninth grade.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: And then it wasn't even a smartphone. You know, smartphones were, like, 2010, 2013.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: So....
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: It just didn't have, it didn't have access to it. Like, uh,
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: people do now. So yeah, unfortunately I just didn't grow
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: up with them and, uh, still need to watch a
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: lot of stuff. So it's like, I have to play
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: catch up while also trying to keep up with everything
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: coming out. But, uh, that's why October for me is
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: just chaos. I watched just literally everything I can. So
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: it's in my cart though. I'm going to, I'm going to,
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to pull the trigger on it and
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: buy it because I do, I do want to watch it. Um,
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: But yeah, so that's a great recommendation. I love that,
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: especially because it's literally it takes place around Halloween. My
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: number nine is a underrated found footage movie. It's called
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: The House's October Belt. It is essentially it's not it's
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: it's in the vein of Hell House LLC. But it
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: is about a documentary crew going to a haunted location.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: Rather than the people making the haunted house, they are
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: going to a haunted location suspected of... Hold on. It
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: came out the year before. Let me get the little
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: bio here. Oh, yeah. So beneath the fake blood and
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: cheap masks of countless haunted houses attractions across the country,
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: there are whispers of truly terrifying alternatives. So it's a
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: group of people looking for a blood-curdling good fright for Halloween.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: So they set off on a road trap to track
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: down these underground haunts. And then they come across something
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: that is very strange and disturbing. Another one that has
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: a very low rating of a 2.5 out of 5.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: Which is crazy because this one has got a lot
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: of creepy moments. There's actually a short film of this.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: Or not necessarily a short film. But there's something that
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: came out in 2012. which is a very condensed version
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: of the movie. And then in 2014, they expanded upon
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: the idea. There's also a sequel as well, The House
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: is October Built 2, which is not as good as
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: the first one and has even worse ratings. I mean,
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: like I said, the first one has a 2.5. The
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: second one has a 2.2, something we didn't need a
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: sequel to. But it's a good spooky time, especially for Halloween.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: And it's, you know, again, found footage. I just, I
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: love found footage. I know it's not everyone's thing, but
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: I always have fun when I watch that one.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: So. Sounds like the hell house LLC sequels. Like the
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: first one's good. Everything after that, just like really can
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: we stop? Oh no, we're going to keep going with it.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It's like the first one, first one is like
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: literally one of my favorite found footage movies ever. I
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: did enjoy the second one because I saw where I
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: saw what they were trying to do. And I was like,
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: I appreciate that. The third one, was just not good.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: But then they brought it back with lineage. And I
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: was like, okay, maybe we're, maybe we're curving back up.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: And then, um, or not lineage. Was it lineage? No origins, origins. Sorry.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: They brought it back with origins. And I was like,
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: oh shit. Okay. And then lineage from this year, I
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: was like, wow, that movie was bad. Like guys, you
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: gotta stop. You gotta, you're just, you're ruining the magic
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: of the first movie. Like you gotta, you gotta stop.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: We got to see that money train roll or not. Apparently.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: So, well, apparently Stephen Cognatti thought he was getting funding
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: for two more movies, but only got enough funding for one.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: And that's why the ending of this one is like, okay,
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: I feel like there's more story here. So we probably
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: might get another one. And they just abandoned the whole
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: found footage. The whole thing that made it extra scary,
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: the found footage they abandoned for this one. And I
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: get it because he had a bigger budget, but also
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: it just wasn't as effective as if it were to
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: be like POV style. So, yeah, that one got a
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: pretty low rating from me this year. uh let's go
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: to your number.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Eight number eight so I had to put a John
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: Carpenter movie on here that wasn't Halloween of course I
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: was like well it's one of the most heels Halloween-ish
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: and I almost went with this one but I went
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: with the fog okay yeah I feel like that's a
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: really really good ghost story yeah absolutely Of course, I'm
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: talking about the remake from 2006. That movie is bad.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: That movie is bad.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: The original one is just a lot. It's like Ghost Pirate.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: You've got Jamie Lee Curtis and Tom Atkins being really cool.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: Small ghost town, small beach town. I think it's supposed
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: to be like Northern California.
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, California coastal town.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: Yep. And I just, I really, really enjoy that. Like,
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: it's like a tale with a haunted story. Like I just,
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: I really like doing those kinds of movies and it just,
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: it feels very fall. It's kind of chilly outside, very cozy.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: There's a founder's day parade going on and it's just
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: a lot of fun. A lot of folks from Halloween
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: are in that because the girl who played Amy Brackett,
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: the original Amy Brackett, not the one who dies in
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: every single Rob Zombie Halloween movie. Um, Well, isn't there
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: a cut of Halloween 2 where she actually doesn't die
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: for the second time?
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: Well, she doesn't die, and Daniel Harris' character does not
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: die in the first one, but she does die in
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: the second one, so spoiler alert.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: Well, she shouldn't have lived in the first one, because
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: she got stabbed by any of her ties with Michael Myers.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she was pretty dead there, but somehow she survived,
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: so it's very strange.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: I feel like that's But yes, the original Annie Brackett,
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: who did die in the first Halloween movie, she's in
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: the fog. It's just a really fun movie. I know
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: some people would think it's kind of boring and slow.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: It certainly is slower than a lot of movies, but
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: Halloween's slow too. Prince of Darkness is pretty slow. It
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: just kind of works. It just moves the atmosphere for days, though.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: It feels like it's just John Carpenter incarnate. um, in
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: my eyes.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: No, I totally agree. That's one. Um, I need to
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: revisit as well. Cause the last time I watched that,
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: I was a couple of years ago, but no, yeah.
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: I mean the, the movie is just dripping with atmosphere
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: and like, yeah, the, the kind of the ghost pirate
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: thing going on is great. Plus you got more fog
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: than you can ever fucking imagine in this movie. And
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: you have Adrian Barbeau in this, who's incredible. She plays
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: Stevie Wayne, um, And she's a radio DJ or radio host,
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: whatever you want to call it. And I love the
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: aspect of that, how they had her in there as
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: the radio host kind of just going over everything that
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: was going on in town. There's a movie called Pontypool
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: that takes that section of the fog and just makes
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: it the entire movie. If you've never seen Pontypool, anybody listening,
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: Pontypool is great. It thrives on atmosphere and dread. And
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: I think it takes place all in one location. It's
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: very good. But yeah, the fog. Yeah.
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: So make sure your grammar is correct for Pontypool. In Canadian.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: It's a very good Canadian connotation.
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So that's a good one, too.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: Fog is great. Love that recommendation. My number eight is
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: a movie called Murder Party, which is just as fun
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: as the title suggests. This one is pretty recent. Oh, no,
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: this is not. I had them backwards. I thought Gravy
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: was older. This one is even older than Gravy from 2007.
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: It's actually directed by a guy who would go on
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: to do Green Room from 2015 and then also Blue Ruin,
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: which is a great movie, but This one is great.
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: It's a random invitation to a Halloween party that leads
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: a man into the hands of a rogue collective, sparking
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: a bloodbath of mishap, mayhem, and hilarity. It's just so
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: much goddamn fun. It's very good with the practical effects.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: Macon Blair is in it. If you don't know Macon Blair,
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: he is most recently the director of the Toxic Avenger
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: that came out uh this year so it's just a
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: fun time it's on oh it's on prime video i
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: think i came across it on netflix it's got a
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: great poster so if you look up the poster for
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: whoever's listening it's got an incredible poster a lot of
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: good laughs and it's only 80 minutes so we're talking
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: with without credits 75 minutes so an hour and 15
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: minutes of your time to watch a bloodbath on Halloween.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: So, uh, I just threw that one off my list.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: That was the last movie to get cut.
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: Oh shit. Perfect. Then that's good.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you mentioned it. Yeah. And if you want
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: to see like the art house douchebags get killed in
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: very funny ways, it's like the end to, uh, uh,
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: Tucker and Dale versus evil's gang.
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: Exactly. That's exactly what it is. And instead of a
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: cabin in the woods, uh, It's kind of, I think
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: it's like a, like a warehouse situation or something like that.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: So it's like literally the total opposite of Tucker and Dale.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: It's similar, similar kind of premise where it's been sort
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: of rednecks or like hipsters. Yeah. Jeremy Sonier and, uh,
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: Macon Blair like grew up together.
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah. They work on a lot of stuff together because, uh,
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: Macon Blair was also in green room. Blake and, uh,
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: Macon Blair was also the star of blue ruin, uh,
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: I think he actually wrote Blue Ruin, too, but he
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: was involved in that. Megan Blair has had just a
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: wild career, and I'm very excited to see where he
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: goes because I'm a fan of him. I feel like
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: most people don't. Outside of his newest work, The Toxic Avenger,
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: I feel like that kind of put him more in
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: the public eye, and I hope people explore more of
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: his work. He's a lot better.
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: Indie work. Like I remember he was like the John
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: Florida project who gets screwed over by the main character. Um,
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: have you seen the Florida project?
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, the Florida. Oh, let's see. Well, I remember really
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: not liking that movie, but I will double check because
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: now I'm very curious to see what this, but yeah,
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: he was, that's his second credit. That is his, uh, well,
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: it's second credit on letterbox by popularity. So yes, he
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: was in Florida project. And apparently he was an Oppenheimer
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: as well. I didn't even, oh, I haven't seen that yet,
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: so I guess that makes sense. But I'll be on
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: the lookout for him in that. But yeah, he's a
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: pretty prolific actor, done a lot of stuff, and a
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: director and a writer. I mean, the man has done
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: it all. For sure, for sure. All right, so we
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: are on your number seven list.
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: I watched this one last week, and it is just
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: as much fun as I remember it being. The Frighteners,
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: an early Peter Jackson movie, post-Dead Alive, pre-Lord of the Rings.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: But it's Michael J. Fox being just great. And I
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: love seeing Michael J. Fox. He can see dead people.
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: He's like a con man around town, making his ghost
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: do things. So he can make money off of them.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: But then you see a serial killers in town and
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: they're blaming him for it. It's just a, just a
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: really fun movie. And it's only on Peacock now.
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It's on Peacock and to be according to letterbox.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: Yep. Oh, well, you've got no excuse. Go out and
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: watch it. You have to watch it on TV. It's
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: worth the commercial break. The ghost effects still really hold up.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: Dude, they really do. I watched it a couple years ago,
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: and I was like, wow, these look... It's almost like
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: the ghost effects in Casper. I mean, those are a
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: little more dated, but... This one, you're like, wow, these
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: are shockingly good.
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: And it's funny, because this was supposed to be the
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: third Tales from the Crypt movie. Oh, interesting. Yeah, so
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: Roberts and they could still produce it, but they decided
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: they didn't need to save it on its own. They
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: didn't need the Tales from the Crypt stuff to it.
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: They're like, well, it's just going to be about itself,
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: and let's do its own thing. And like I said,
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: if you like... I miss Michael J. Fox. I wish,
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, we all know he can't do it, but
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: he's actually in a new season of shrinking apparently.
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I heard, I heard that. I heard him talking
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: about that and I was like, Oh, okay. That'd be
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: nice to see him kind of do a little something nowadays. Um,
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: always loved him as an actor, but yeah, uh, my, my,
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: I think my favorite part of the frighteners, uh, I mean,
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: of course, Jeffrey Combs is just, I mean, I have
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: him tattooed on my leg. I love Jeffrey Combs. Uh,
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: His portrayal as Dr. Herbert West in Reanimator is my favorite.
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: That too's on my leg. But he plays a guy
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: named Milton Dammers in this, or Dammers. And he's got
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: this like slicked comb over almost going on. And he
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: just looks hilarious. I love him in this. You've also
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: got Dee Wallace as well. Jake Busey pops up and then.
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: Arlie Ermey, who you might not know the name, but
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: he was the drill instructor from Full Metal Jacket. It's
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: just got such a wild cast and it's so much fun.
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: That's actually on my Hooptober watching towards the end of
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: the month because I was like, you know, I definitely
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: need to watch this again.
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: If you need to can't have a New Zealand movie,
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: you can't have a New Zealand movie.
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, I think, you know what? I think that's exactly
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: why it's on my list to fulfill out the nine
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: countries outside of the U.S., so.
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: Um, let's see, my number seven here is the, I don't,
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: I don't want to take it away from you. because
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: I already took away, uh, Satan's little helper, but it's
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: the WNUF Halloween special, which.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: That was also my list.
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: No, you can't talk about it.
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It's a, it's actually one. I'm, I, I, I'm
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: almost positive you had mentioned it to me. And then
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: I saw that Vinegar Syndrome had actually put out a
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: physical release of it, which I tracked down and bought.
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: I did watch it streaming first, and I was like,
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, this is really good. And then I saw
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: that they had put out a copy, and I was like, oh,
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: I'm going to buy that immediately. It's just so much fun.
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: It's like I said, it feels very much kind of
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: like a riff of... The Ghostwatch, because Ghostwatch was 1992.
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: This was 2013, actually. I thought it was from the 90s,
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: but it's 2013. But it has that 90s, or I
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: guess 80s, because it's listed as the infamous 1987 live broadcast.
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: So it's got those 80s vibes going on. And it's
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: kind of the same thing, right? Like a local TV
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: personality leads a team of investigators. into the darkest corners
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: of a supposedly haunted house. So it feels very much
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: like Ghostwatch, but I had a lot more fun with
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: this movie just because it had some humor to it.
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: It's only 83 minutes. It's a good time. How did
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: you come across this one?
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: I feel like, because it was a movie that I
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: remember being talked about, and I'm always kind of looking
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: for smaller movies. Like, I'm always going to watch The Dude. Like,
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: I'm going to watch Weapons. I'm going to watch, you know,
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: The Dude. But I remember seeing, like, it got a
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: little traction. I mean, it played, like, South by Southwest.
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: But I remember it was, like, hard to find for
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: a little bit, I feel like. And then it finally hit, like,
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: streaming service, and I watched it immediately. And I still
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: sometimes sit in my head, and I'm, like, walking around.
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: Eggs and eggs, we've come in for your... The local
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: commercials are just hilarious for this movie. It's just a
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: really fun movie. It's a perfect Halloween movie. I know
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: some people said it kind of runs out of steam
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: before it gets there. It kind of goes on maybe
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: a little bit longer. But I was like, nah, it's perfect.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: It's 80 minutes. um you've got the fake commercials even
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: though i just kind of do some of the the
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: commercials again but i mean it's it's a broadcast on
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: the eight it's the course you're gonna watch the same
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: commercials over and over again that's.
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: Funny that's funny that you said people the like the
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: losing the losing steam i really like the resolution in
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: the ending and i i thought the tension kind of
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: amped up the entire time uh so for me it's
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: the opposite yeah and it And at 80 minutes, if
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: you're complaining about pacing at an 80-minute movie, I don't
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: think it's the movie's fault because I've never had a
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: movie that short not have incredible pacing. Chopping Mall, I
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: always reference this one. 77 minutes, paced perfectly. You typically
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: don't get any wasted time with a movie that short.
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: This one is a.
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: Go ahead. There's a Tales from the Crypt episode that
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: has a similar premise, where they're going inside a haunted
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: house like that. It's one of the best Tales from
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: the Crypt episodes. It's called Television Terror, I believe is
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: what it's called. I think actually all of those are
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: on YouTube, because Tales from the Crypt, the TV show,
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: was just a rock nightmare. Oh my god, no. you
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: can't even watch it on HBO or Mac because the
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: rights are such a hard, but somebody has ripped all
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: over the YouTube. Um, but yeah, watch television here. It's
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: really good. It's one of the best ones.
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: Okay. Um, if you'd care to, if you'd care to
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: check out the WNUF Halloween special, it is on Shudder.
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: Shudder's been bringing the heat lately. I really love it. Uh,
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: what about you? What's your number seven? Or wait, no, sorry.
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: Number six.
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: Number six for me. is Something Wicked This Way Comes,
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: which they just put on Disney +. Okay. Yeah, it's
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: based on a Ray Bradbury novel. It's, you know, about
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: these kids. They're just growing up in, I think it
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: takes place in the 50s or the 60s. um but
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: it came out in the 80s and small town circus
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: comes to town but you find out the circus ringleader
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: it's a pretty dark entity and it's a very very
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: good like coming of age movie inside of this kind
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: of dark fantasy horror movie and it's another small town
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: horror movie which i've been bringing up constantly on this
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: thing But it takes place in the fall. And it's
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: just a really, really good, really fun, cozy. It's a very,
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: very cozy horror movie. It's on Disney Plus now, finally.
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: And I think it's a strong recommend for anybody that
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: wants to sort of be like, get their toes in
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: a horror movie. It's like, if you like Return to
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: Oz from the 80s, you'll definitely like Something Wicked This
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: Way Comes. Yeah.
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: It's funny you mentioned that one because Gabby was scrolling
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: through Disney and she was like, oh, something wicked this
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: way comes. I've always wanted to watch this. And I
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: was like, it happens all the time where like you'll
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: mention something and then my wife will mention it. And
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: I'm like, well, I've got to watch it now. Yellow
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: Jackets was the other instance. Like you had mentioned I
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: should watch it. And then my wife was like, oh,
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: my God, it's so good. And I was like, all right,
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: I got to watch Yellow Jackets. And of course, that's
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: like one of the greatest shows. So but yeah, I
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: love how the first sentence in this description is in
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: a small American town sold. I don't know what it
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: is about the small town setting. Just because it's the seclusion,
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: the isolation, like not everything is close. You know, it
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: might take a little while for the cops to get there.
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: It's a little creepier because your neighbors aren't right next door.
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: Small town settings are just so perfect for horror movies.
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: And I love it. So that's on the list to watch. Uh, yeah.
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: And Disney plus as well. That's good. 95 minutes, got
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: a three, three, which is pretty high. Uh, which I love. Uh,
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: was that like a, uh, like a TV movie or
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: something back in the day?
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: That was a full theatrical release. Oh, wow. Yeah, it
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: has a bit of a cult following. Of course, the
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: book came out from, I think the book came out
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: in the 60s. And as you can tell, it was
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: a huge influence on a lot of Stephen King stuff,
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: even though it's more of a young adult coming-of-age novel
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: than an adult novel. And the book's really, really good.
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: And the screenplay was written by Ray Bradbury to run
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: the book. So it's a pretty faithful adaptation of the book.
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: And I just think it's a strong recommendation. Uh, for me,
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: especially in the spooky.
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: Season, especially in the spooky season.
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: Okay. Uh, okay. My number six is a one that's
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: come up. Uh, we have briefly mentioned it, but it
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: is haunt from 2019. Yeah. 2019, uh, directed by Scott
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: Beck and Brian Woods. If you don't know the names,
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: they also recently did heretic, which is like one of the,
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: I think that was one of the strongest films from
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: last year. Similar premise of Hellfest on Halloween. These group
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: of friends encounter an extreme haunted house that starts killing
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: the people that enter the haunted house, and it's just
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: a really wild ride of people being trapped somewhere, being
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: hunted down by these masked killers, and trying to escape.
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: 93 minutes. It's only got a 2.9 out of 5.
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: I gave it a 4 just because I liked the setting. Again,
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: I love the idea of a haunted house where people
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: are actually being stalked and murdered. Cause that's like, that's
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: like a, that's like the worst thing you, that could
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: happen in that. Like, Oh, this isn't fake. This is
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: real now. And my life is on the line. So
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: I really enjoy haunt. This is also on shutter as well.
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: If you want to check it out, uh, pretty sure
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: I saw this one in theaters, but, uh, yeah, haunt
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: is a good time. And again, it is literally taking
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: place on Halloween. I tried to get as many as
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: I could that took place on Halloween, but, You know,
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: some of these are more of just, like, vibes for Halloween, so.
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I remember Holt, it's still, like, even though
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: you know, because you feel like at least one of
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: the Holt actors is, like, actually a good person, and
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: you find out, you know, it's one of those movies where, like,
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: bad things are happening, but then you think maybe this
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: one person actually isn't a bad person. But maybe they are,
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: but maybe they aren't. Maybe they aren't, maybe they aren't.
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: Why are you like a ghost marshmallow mask? I don't
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: understand what's going on here, but I'm enjoying it.
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: It was like that movie you recommended for one of
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: the Jason picks where, oh man, what was that one
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: where they went to that haunted house and it was
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: basically Haunt, but like years before Haunt came out.
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: Haunted Wayne?
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: Haunted... No, not Haunt. No, not that one. I'm going back.
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: It couldn't have been this far back, could it? Maybe
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: it was. Oh my goodness. Um, not abominable. That was the, uh,
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: Oh man, I'm going to have to come back and, um,
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: dang it. Was it the hazing? No, the hazing was no,
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: that wasn't the hazing. I don't know. Yeah. It was
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: this group of kids who, who didn't break into a
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: haunted house, but like they had the keys to the
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: haunted house. And then there was some haunted book, uh,
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: That was unleashing all of, was it something with fear?
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: Something with fear in the title. House of Fears. House
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: of Fears.
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was in like 2007 or something like that.
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, 2007. This is like that idea, but just done better.
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: Because like House of Fears was fun, but it was
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: also like, okay, they did not flesh out enough of
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: these ideas. And then they were like, natural.
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: Sure. Yeah, exactly.
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: So um okay that's my number so what about your
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: number what's.
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: That jeffrey combs to work.
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah exactly yeah well she popped up and i'm like
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: okay you've got me with jeffrey combs um number five
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: for you we're down to the down to the top
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: five here.
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: At this point, I love it. Watch it every year
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: for a long time. It's one of my favorite 90s
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: horror movies. Demon Knight.
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: That movie is just a blast. You've got all these people.
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: It takes place in one location. It's sort of a
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: bottle movie. By design, because demons can't get into the house.
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: Most movies are trying to get out of the haunted house.
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: This one, they're trying to get in the haunted house. Right.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: You've got Billy Zane being crazy. And it takes place
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: in the 90s, which is always kind of like this
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: era of the 90s, like from like 1990 to Scream,
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: I guess, came out in 96. It's sort of the
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: 80s hangover. There's a couple bit of horror movies there.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's not some lambs, obviously. There are some tremors.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: But really, that five-year span between Scream came out. There
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: was just sort of a... Horror movies were sort of
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: an afterthought.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the 90s really struggled to find their footing... Because
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: by the time the 90s hit, people were pretty much
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: over slashers. They were like, all right, we've run its course.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: And then the 90s really, and then it came back
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: around with the slasher in 96, you know, with the
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: meta approach. But yeah, those five years, man, horror was
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: really just not knowing where to go after the slasher craze.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: You need Dominic to direct the video. Yeah. How many
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: Hellraiser movies probably came out between 1990 and 1995?
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: So many.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: Children of the Corn sequels.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I believe there's six plus Genesis. So I think
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: there's seven total, maybe eight Children of the Corn movies.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: They're in double digits. Oh my good lord.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: That's crazy. It's, it's, it's a Stephen King book that
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: needed like maybe, maybe two max out of, I don't know.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: Children of the corn three is still probably like my favorite,
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: but like anything more than three, it's like, all right guys,
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: that that's enough. But they, and then, oh no, that's right.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: Cause then they did the children of the corn remake
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: in like 2022 or 2023. That was so bad. Oh,
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: it was so bad. Ooh, not a good movie.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: Um, the theory sequel that came out like in 2019
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: or the theory remake, they came out like 2019.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah. God, something's just neat.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: Sometimes dead is better. Let's just keep that shit dead.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Uh, we're talking about demon night. You've seen
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: demon night. Are you a fan of demon night?
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah. We did it this year for 1995. It
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: is one of my, just, I love that movie. It's
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: one of those movies that, that I don't watch more
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: than once a year just because I don't want it
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: to lose its charm. I don't think it ever will,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: but I try not to oversaturate my viewing with it
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: because it's just such a special movie to me. Billy
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: Zane being Billy Zane. And you're right, it's like the
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: opposite of From Dusk Till Dawn. It very much vibes
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: like Sinners where there are things outside and they want
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: to stay inside. It's like, we're going to stay inside.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: Because everything out there looks horrifying, but I think one
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: of my favorite scenes, actually it probably is my favorite scene,
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: is just the face punch that Billy Zane just plows
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: through that guy's entire face with his punch every time
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: it gets me.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: I actually sent that GIF to a group of friends.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: They liked that movie a lot, too, just randomly. It's
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: like Tuesday at 9 o'clock in the morning. Everybody's at work.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: Somebody would just send a picture of that GIF. It's
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: just awesome. William Sabler being cool as hell. Tupac era
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: Jada Pinkett Smith. It's just a really fun movie. I really,
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: really enjoy watching it pretty much every Halloween.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I love the subversion, not really subversion, but they,
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: you don't know who the bad guy is at first.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: You're like, okay, well, it's clearly William Sadler, but I
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: don't know, Billy Zane's acting kind of weird. Who's the
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: bad guy here? And then you finally figure it out
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: and you're like, oh shit, okay. So I love that
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: kind of like not knowing who's the bad guy here.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: It's a great movie. Go listen to our episode on
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: it and then, or if you haven't seen it, you know,
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: go watch it and then listen to the episode because
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: we had a lot of fun with that one. Let's
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: see here. We're number five. My number five is a
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: Spanish horror movie. I believe it is from the 80s.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: It is called Cemetery of Terror. It is such a
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: wild time. I love it. 1985, directed by Ruben Gallendo Jr.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: He did. He had a run of three movies that
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: back to back to back were great. Don't Panic, Cemetery
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: of Terror. and grave robbers. But this one, again, on
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: Halloween night, a group of bored teens decide to steal
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: a corpse from the local morgue and take it to
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: a nearby cemetery where they perform a satanic ritual and
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: unknowingly revive a bloodthirsty serial killer. It is just a wacky,
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: over-the-top 80s movie with great practical effects. I feel like
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: this one is entirely slept on because... The only reason
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: I even know about it is because of Vinegar Syndrome.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: I saw that they were putting out all three of
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: those movies, and I read the synopsis, saw the ratings,
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: and I was like, I'm just going to buy these
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: because they sound good. And the only one I haven't
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: seen is Don't Panic, but I think that one has
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: the highest rating. It is so much goddamn fun. Sadly,
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: not streaming, but I promise you, if you do buy
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: the movie and you're a fan of foreign horror, you
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: will not be disappointed. There's a lot of good kills.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: a lot of good subversions of tropes. So that's one
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: I really like. Four out of five for that one.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I said my rating. No, yeah,
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: four out of five for Haunt, 3.5 out of five
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: for WUNF, and then 3.5 out of five for Murder Party.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: So Cemetery of Terror, great time.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen that one. It's been on my list
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: for a while. I have seen Don't Panic. Um, that
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: used to be on Shudder for a long time. It
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: might not have still yet. Yeah. Um, even so much,
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: I remember Joe Bob did it. I remember it was
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: a big deal when Vinegar said to re-release it. They even,
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: it was a big special edition because it came with
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: the main character's pajamas that he's wearing in the whole movie.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: That's amazing. I love it. Amazing.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: And it's, it's, it's very much a nightmare on the street,
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: sort of real, but Don't Panic is a good time
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: for it.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: That's actually, that's actually also on my Hooptober as well to, uh,
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: to watch because that one fits the, uh, Ooh, I
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: think it's a Mexican directed Mexican. I think it's just
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: Mexican director. I think so. That should be that one.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: Or it was probably to fill out another country, but
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: it's on there. So I'm going to watch don't panic
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: this year. Um, we are on your number four.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: Number four for me. Uh, love this movie. It's hardly
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: ever streaming, but it is now thanks to shutter, uh,
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: the blob, the 80, the 80 year version of the blob.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: That movie is just, it's so much fun. Again, that's
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: what I'd say about most of these movies. I mean,
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: it's what I like to watch on Halloween. It's Kevin Diller, Dillon,
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: the lesser Dillon, and what's-her-face from the fall movie. It's
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: just trying to fight off this just massive blob. And
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: the big blocks, I'm sorry, the big box VHS is, Uh,
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: it's the image of the blob eating that her boyfriend brain.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: I remember like going to the video store when I
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: was a kid and just being like, Oh no, this
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: movie is too hardcore to watch. I can't watch this movie.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: Some of the greatest practical effects, that sink scene where
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: I think somebody gets sucked into a sink or something. Oh,
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: it's so good. But yeah, Shawnee Smith is in this.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: You've also got Jeffrey DeMunn who I love. He's a
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: great actor. and uh there was something.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: And that character is like one of the best like
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: small town sheriffs like usually when these kind of movies
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: are like they're douchebags like the sheriff and kill a
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: clown from outer space.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah such an idiot yeah but he's.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: Just in the sheriff's like oh actually a good guy
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: because you know everybody wants to blame the kevin dillon
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: character for all this he was like no he sucks
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: but he we've got nothing on this kid now we
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: got to figure things out shut up deputy you're an idiot.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's so good. Oh, those practical effects though. It's,
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: it's just something that could only come from the eighties.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, and Chuck Russell, dude, Chuck Russell is such
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: an underrated director. He did the mask. He did dream warriors.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: He did the blob. He did a racer with Arnold Schwarzenegger,
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: which doesn't have the greatest ratings, but I loved it.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: And then, you know, he, you know, he didn't, he didn't,
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: he did the scorpion King. So I, you got, everybody
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: gets one bad one, but then he also did, uh,
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: the witch board remake that came out this year as well,
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: which I mean, I don't know. I feel like Chuck
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 2: Russell is just very underappreciated for his, uh, very interesting, uh, career.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah. have you watched the witchblade remake is that good
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: i assume it'll be kind of not great i.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: Haven't watched it yet because i i still want to
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: watch the original and not not to be like comparative
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: about it but i want to get a sense for
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: what exactly uh the vibe is and uh i definitely
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: i definitely need to watch that one first but it
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: is oh it is on plex but i think it's
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: available it's for rent on plex but um yeah i'll
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: have to check out the original witch board and then
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: move on to that one but my buddy spencer liked
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: it so.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: And this was, and the blog was written by Frank
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: Darabont and written by Chuck Russell, and Frank Darabont also
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: wrote Nightmare on Elm Street 3, which is, in my opinion,
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: the best Elm Street movie.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, 100%. Dream Warriors is just, like, the first one
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: is a masterpiece in its own way because it's so,
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: it's just so good. But then Dream Warriors are like,
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: all right, we're having fun with this, this, like, idea
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: of Freddy Krueger. Dream Warriors, yeah, hands down, definitely my
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: favorite as well. Let's see, number four. Alright, my number
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: four is a pretty, I'd say it's pretty well known
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: if you're into the horror genre. It is Ginger Snaps.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: It is a great werewolf movie that does, I think
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: it ends on a Halloween party. There's a Halloween party involved.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know, it's not necessarily the focal point, but
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: I know there's a Halloween party that goes down, but
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: It's about two sisters, Ginger and Bridget, and one of
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: them gets attacked by a wild creature and turns into
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: a werewolf. It's a great, great movie. You've got one
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: of my favorite, most underrated actresses of all time, Catherine Isabel.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: She is so fucking good in everything she's in. I
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: love her to death. I wish she would do more.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: She was in Freddy vs.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: Jason.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 2: I think she was in, was she in American Mary?
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 2: Was she this?
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she was. Yeah, she was the main character.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: The main character in American, oh, she's also in Bones,
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 2: which I fucking love Bones. God, Bones is so good.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: But yeah.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: She was also in the Sue Snail and the Carrie
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: remake that was supposed to be a TV show from
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: the 2000s.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: Is she really? So she's in the 2002 Carrie? Oh, yeah,
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: she is. That's on my Hooptober watching. Hell yeah. It's
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: got very mixed ratings, though.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: When you watch that, you've got to realize that this
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: was supposed to be a pilot for a TV show.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: Well, it is a movie. It was a TV movie
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: and it was supposed to be, I think Brian Fort
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: wrote it.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: Um, so he went on to, to create the Hannibal
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: TV show, um, in pushing babies. But yeah, if you
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: watch it, you've got to watch that realizing that was
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: supposed to be a pilot.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: Okay. Well, I'm glad we're having this conversation cause I
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: didn't know that. And, um, Yeah, see, I'm excited for
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: Angela Bettis as Carrie, because Angela Bettis is another one
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: of those actresses that's super underrated. But she was, like,
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: she's just so good in everything she's in. Like, she's
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: so good in May. So that's exciting to know that
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: she's in that. But yeah, Catherine Isabel, not only a heartthrob,
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: but just an incredible actress. And Ginger Snaps has a
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: couple sequels. I haven't seen them, but just watch the
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: first one. So.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: I've seen the second one, and it's kind of like, okay.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: You try to get horror, you see the captain never
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: go back. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. uh
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: it really really is and it's uh a really really
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: good allegory for you know puberty and stuff.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: Oh wow it's got okay it's got a three one
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: yeah and they did get a katherine isabel back for
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: that one but the third one i i'm pretty sure
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: it does not have either one of the original returning
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 2: cast i'm double checking right now as we speak yeah that's.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: Just pretty cool like a like a place in like
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: 1900 or something.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: Oh shit um no Catherine Isabel is back for Ginger
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: Snaps Back the Beginning all right so they got her
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: back for all three I did not think she was
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: in the third one and yeah that even her sister
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: Emily Perkins plays Bridget in all three all right maybe
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: maybe I'll have to go down the rabbit hole one
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: day um all right you're number three so we're hitting
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: the top three here what do you got for number three.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: Number three, I watched for the first time in who
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: knows how long, this week, Phantoms. I act like you're
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: the bomb in Phantoms, y'all.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 2: Love the meta reference. It's great. That's funny that, yeah,
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: because was this the first time watched for you?
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't think it was, but I started watching
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: it like, I don't think I've ever seen this movie.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: I just feel like through pop culture osmosis and from
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: watching a lot of Kevin Smith movies, I just assumed
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: I had watched it.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: Right, yeah, it makes sense.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: Well, if I have watched it, I've completely forgotten pretty
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: much everything from it. and I watched and I was like,
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: this is, you know, I would have really liked this
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: when it came out. I don't know why I never did. Um,
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: cause I was a sucker. Now, you know, knowing what
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: we know now about Harvey Weinstein, fuck that guy. But
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: I was a sucker for all those dimensionals that are
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: coming out of the 90s. Um, you know, Oh, yeah.
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: If you want your cosmic horror, this is 100% very H.P.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: Lovecraftian movie. I need to watch The Void. I know
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: you watched that recently, and you keep telling me I
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: need to watch it.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: It's good.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: It's probably better than Phantoms, because while I really enjoyed
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: this movie... It's not... Great. It's very of its time.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever read a Dean Koontz book
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: in my life.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: I don't think I have either, honestly. I know he
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: did the screenplay for this movie too, which is interesting
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: because you'd think he would nail his own vision better
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: because the ratings on this aren't great. I mean, they
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: gave it a three because I saw what they were
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: going for, but the Clearly 90s CG has not held
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 2: up at all. And the third act is very heavily
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 2: reliant on said CG. So it's like, it's hard to
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: look past that sometimes. But I mean, the first act, honestly,
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: they nailed the creepy small town again. But like the
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: whole town has vanished and there are pieces left over
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: of people like a hand or a head or whatever.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 2: And they nail that atmosphere so well. And then the
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: exposition in the second act is, is, is pretty engaging
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: and intriguing. But then the third act just gets a
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: little too, I think they tried to make it a
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: bigger scope than was needed. Um, And so the pacing
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: is just kind of all over the place, but it
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: is fun. I can at least tell you it's a
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: fun 90s watch for sure. Plus you've got Rose McGowan
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: in it. You got Peter O'Toole. You got Liv Schreiber
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: for whatever reason he's in this.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: It is very much, all right, turn your brain off,
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: go back to the 90s, and just enjoy what we
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: used to watch all the time back in the 90s.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: And I remember especially being on television a lot back
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: in 2000 or whatever. For whatever reason, I don't think
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: I ever sat down and watched it from start to
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: finish until this week.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, because I know it is R. Wow, interesting.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 2: I thought it was PG-13, but it is R, so....
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: Okay. Yeah. I mean, it's, it's, it's graphic and thoughts
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: for sure. But at least for the nineties anyway, I
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: was watching, I'm like, this was fun. This wasn't great. It's, it's,
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: but it's, it's fun. Um, you know, you just turn
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: your brain off. They're like, sure. This is happening now.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Like sometimes you just got to turn your brain
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: off and just go, go along for the ride, you know?
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You know, maybe Ben Affleck in this movie was
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: maybe a little miscast at the time.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because he really hadn't really hadn't broken out. But
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: I think this is kind of what maybe not. I
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: don't really I don't really want to say put him
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: on the map, but I feel like this kind of,
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: you know, thrust him more into the public eye because, yeah,
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: he he's not the greatest in this. He's kind of
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: flat with his delivery, but he's also powerful. He's also
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: pretty good at the same time. Like I said, it's
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: a very strange movie where all the components are there.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: They're just not executed as good as I think they
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: could have been.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and Rose McGowan is kind of kooky in this movie, too.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: I feel like she's in a completely different movie than
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: everybody else here.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: Right? Yeah, she felt so out of place. I'm like,
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: I love you as an actress, but you do feel
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: weirdly out of place. Same thing with Liv Shriver. He
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: just did not fit into this movie, so it was
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 2: oddly cast Great location. Fun, interesting story, especially when the
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: government comes in and all these suits and shit. It
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 2: gets very sci-fi. But yeah, Phantoms is an interesting experience,
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: to say the least. And it's on Paramount if you
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: want to check it out.
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. That's why I watched it. I was like, yep,
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: I'm doing this. I didn't regret it at all. I
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: had fun watching it.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: Perfect. Love it.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: That was my number one.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 2: Number four. Oh, wait. Are you ahead of me then?
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sorry. That was number three.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: Okay, number three. My number three. Oh, Ginger Snaps was
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: a four out of five for me. My number three
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: is Night of the Demons 2. Did you have that
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: one on there?
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: Over the original?
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: I thought you liked the original more.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: No i like the second one more.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: I didn't know we agreed on that that's i specifically
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: put two on there because i swore that you like
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: the first one more oh fuck okay.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: No you can keep it talk about it i love
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: the movie.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah it's it's just one of those rare times i
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 2: don't know like the first one is great and i
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: love it it's a fun movie but for some reason
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: they just go all out with the second one and
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: just have so much fun. They, they took all of
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: the good elements of the first one and then just
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: made it. They just had so much more fun with it.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It's just a, it's just one of
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: those rare instances and not necessarily in ratings because the,
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: The second one has a 3.1 on Letterboxd, and the
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: first Night of the Demons has, oh, also a 3.1. Okay,
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: so they have the same ratings even.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: But yeah. It's a very solid sequel for sure.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so good.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: And for a movie that went straight to video, which
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: is what it did, apparently they had to up the
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: budget when they saw what the director was doing. This
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: is actually pretty good. This movie we didn't have much
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: faith in. This is pretty good. We got the girl
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: from Hey Dude over here, Christine Taylor. She's never going
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: to be anything big, but who knows? It's not because
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: the crime was the first one. It's like when they
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: get in the sailor, they kind of write themselves in
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: a corner, you know, when it's, yeah. And there's like,
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: Oh gosh, what do we do now? We'll just bust
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: down the wall and we'll leave, whatever. Just kind of
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: hand wave that and then get off. But like the
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: same one, you know, It's, it's, it's fun. It makes
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: more sense. They're not just stuck in the house because
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: when they start the movie at the Catholic school, then
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: they go to the house and they leave the house
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: and that's kind of when all hell breaks loose. And then,
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: you know, they have to go back and they're fighting demons.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: The nun is awesome. The priest sucks. Um, the one
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: kind of know-it-all kid is also kind of a jerk
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: but it's you know it's a horror movie and it
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: gives a direct to be a horror movie these are
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: all trophies i'll get out uh but you've got like
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: the kid playing basketball with the head with his own
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: head so good and you've got like the snake demon
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: at the end angela which the practical effects this movie
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: was really good yeah they really do you don't get the, the, the,
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: the lipstick scene. That's very famous from the first one.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: Nothing really rivals that scene.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 2: That's fair. That, that scene is pretty, pretty fucking good.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Uh, but overall I just enjoyed this movie
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: more than the first one. I just think it's just,
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: it's just, it's more fun in my eyes. Um, yeah, no, it's,
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: I love the movie, but I'm glad you like it too.
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: And I, it's also, it's never streaming anywhere. Um, Like,
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: the first one is on literally everything you can think of. Like,
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: anything you can think of, it's on there.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 2: Now, the Scream Factory did put out Blu-rays of Night
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 2: of the Demons 2 and 3, so it's not accessible streaming,
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: but they do, like, you can go, I think you
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 2: can go pick, you should be able to, unless it
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: was a, like, sometimes they do those limited releases where it's, like,
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 2: only a certain amount. But I am checking right now. Yes,
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 2: you can. you can get night of the demons two
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 2: and three off of Amazon for 19 bucks. And yeah, like,
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 2: so they, even though they're not readily available with streaming,
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 2: they are, you know, like screen factory put out those
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 2: pretty recently and I grabbed them immediately. Cause I was like,
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 2: Oh hell yeah. I had a blu-ray from someone else
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 2: for night of the demons too. But when screen factory
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: put it out with a new, like new transfer and
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: all that stuff, I bought it. Yeah. Three though. And
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 2: the remake is also pretty bad. Oh yeah, that's right.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 2: There was one from like 2009 or something like that.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: But I've got a screener copy of a VHS tape
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: that I'll send to rental stores. Oh, hell yeah. So
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: that's the copy album that I have. And it's pretty
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: funny because it's watermarked. Not for retail sale. Love it.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: If you buy two copies of Night of the Demons 2,
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: we'll send you a complimentary copy of Night of the
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: Demons 1. It's like a whole sales pitch. I love
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: it so much.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 2: That's so great.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just like the old video rental days where
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: they would just send screener copies to get folks to
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: buy as many VHS tapes.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: Yep, that's good stuff. I'm kind of reeling over here, though,
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 2: with the cast from 2009. Night of the Demons, you've
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 2: got Edward Furlong, Shannon Elizabeth, you've got Lena Quigley, I
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 2: think that's about it, but yeah, interesting.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, shit, okay.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 2: Alright, yeah, so Night of the Demons 2, certified by
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 2: both of us as the better of the three, well,
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 2: four technically, but yeah, it's one of those instances where
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 2: they took all the magic from the first one and
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 2: just amped up the fun. So, um, number two, what
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 2: do you got?
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: Number two for me? Uh, I've got, I love this
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: movie so much. It is my favorite vampire movie. Fright night. Yes.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 2: Love fright night.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: I think I enjoy it more than The Lost Boys.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: And that might be a little bit of a controversy.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: And I love The Lost Boys too. But Fright Night
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: is like 100% my jam.
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 2: I love it. I will 100% back that up with
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 2: liking it more than The Lost Boys. There is just
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: something so magical about the story of a vampire moving
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 2: next door and a kid trying to figure out the mystery.
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: It's so good. It's just so good.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: Got that local like cable taxist vampire hunter who he
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: thinks is actually a vampire hunter not at all that's
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: not how any of this.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 2: Works yeah you're you're oh i brought a fraud into
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: this situation great i'll just do this on my own
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 2: i guess yeah it's just so and what's his face
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 2: the main guy is It's not Robert Carradine, is it?
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 2: Or is it Robert Carradine?
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: Chris Sarandon, the vampire? Chris Sarandon, yeah.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 2: He is just delivering such a great performance in that movie.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 2: He is just captivating when he's on screen. I think
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 2: he was the perfect choice for that.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely. It's familiar. He's pretty great in that movie too.
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: Uh, you know, and his best friend, you know, evil Ed,
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: you're so cool Brewster. And of course when he turned
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: into a wolf, like that whole scene, that transformation scene
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: is like really awesome. It's just a great 80s war movie.
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 2: Um, yep. A hundred percent, a hundred percent agree.
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And he's a great Halloween watch. Um, And I
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: feel like maybe it sort of gets overshadowed a little
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: bit by Lost Boys. And I get it. Lost Boys
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: is great. But if you're like, Fright Night is the tits.
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: It's pretty good, too. And the remake's actually really good, too.
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I have the remake with Colin Farrell that I
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 2: need to watch. But yeah, I mean, Lost Boys was...
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 2: So Fright Night was 1985. And I'm pretty sure Lost
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 2: Boys was 87.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: So....
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they were around the same time. But something I
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 2: found interesting about Fright Night, I just had it pulled
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 2: up in the cast list. Hang on one second. Cast list. Crew.
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 2: Where's the crew? There it is. So a question I
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 2: have for you about this is there's a character in
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 2: this that plays Evil Ed. Does that have any connection
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 2: to the Evil Ed movie, or is that just a
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 2: random coincidence?
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah. just a random coincidence.
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 2: Damn it. Okay. I thought for some reason they just
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 2: like gave him his own movie or some shit. I,
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: I just thought about that right now. Cause I was like,
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah. Evil Ed. Wait, I have a movie called
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 2: Evil Ed. Okay. Just a random coincidence.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: Got it. He was supposed to be in this. Evil
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: Ed's from like, like Norway or like from like Denmark
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 1: or something.
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay. Gotcha.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: Um, but, uh, no. And he was supposed to be
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: in the sequel. We would fight night. Have you seen
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: fight night two?
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 2: No, but I'm waiting on Synapse, I believe, or Severin.
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 2: They're supposed to be putting out a 4K of Fright
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 2: Night Part 2, and I'm waiting for that to buy
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 2: so I can watch Fright Night Part 2.
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. There's another one of those movies that was just, like,
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: in a big, like, white tissues forever. Like, I mean,
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: for a long time, you couldn't even get a DVD
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: because it just never, or, like, there was a briefing
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: where you could get a DVD, but even the DVD
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: was worth, like, $ 100, $ 100, $ 200.
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 2: Good lord.
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: I think that's come down to Earth, because that's just
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: a certain amount of pay for any kind of DVD.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, paying that much for something that's not like a
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 2: digital copy or like a Blu-ray or something is crazy.
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, even that much for a Blu-ray is still
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 2: kind of crazy.
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. But yeah. I think the sequel is
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: pretty good, and the Fright Night remake is good. The
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: sequel to the remake I've never seen, but it's probably
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 1: not good at all.
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've seen the ratings on that one. I think
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to watch the original Fright Night Part
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 2: 2 and then the Colin Farrell one, just because I'm
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 2: just a fan of Colin Farrell. So I can't imagine
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 2: he would be, if anything, I know he'll be good
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 2: in it for sure, because I don't think I've ever
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 2: watched a movie with him in it where I'm like, eh.
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 2: His performance was okay. I love Colin Farrell. I think
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 2: he's great. What are we saying here, too? I hope
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 2: this one isn't on your list either because we're getting
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 2: up there, but the Monster Squad, is that on your list?
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: Not on my list, but I definitely thought about it
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: for a while. I've got enough gateway horror movies on here.
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: I was like, I'll listen.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 2: That one off. We just re-watched that one because the
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 2: wife had never seen it. She actually brought it up.
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 2: She was like, have you seen The Monster Squad? I
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 2: was like, oh yeah, that's a great one. She was like,
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 2: you want to watch it? I was like, yeah, I
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 2: just got the 4K of it recently. It's a lot
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 2: of fun. I mean, it's a literal squad of monsters.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 2: You've got Dracula, you've got Wolfman, you've got Creature from
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 2: the Black Lagoon, you've got the Mummy, and you've got the...
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 2: The Monster Club kind of has a double meaning in
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 2: this because the group of kids calls themselves the Monster Club,
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 2: but then you also have a group of monsters. And
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 2: it's just these kids fighting back against them and trying to...
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 2: It's just so much fun. And then you have this really...
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 2: cute friendship with uh the you know frankenstein's monster and
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 2: the little girl i can't remember her name was.
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: His little sister which was like a big third act
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: the original frankenstein movie with the frankenstein little.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 2: Girl it's just so i mean wolfman's got nards is
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 2: just one of the most iconic lines from the 80s
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 2: it's just so much fun it's over the top and
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 2: it was directed by fred decker who also did night
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 2: of the creep so that gives you the vibe that
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 2: this movie has. And it's, it's literally a monster mash
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 2: of universal monsters. Like it's, it's just so much fun
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 2: and it's 82 minutes. So, uh, no excuses for watching this.
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 2: It's on Paramount. And if you'd like to check it out,
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 2: this is another four out of five for me. Just,
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 2: just a wacky fun time.
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: The main character kid has the coolest T-shirt. And for
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 1: a kid horror movie, there is a Stephen King rule T-shirt.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 2: Gabby was like, do you want me to make you
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 2: that shirt? And I was like, honestly, yeah, I'd wear
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 2: that shirt. Such a great shirt. Okay, so Monster Squad, definitely.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 2: All right, what do we got for number one? I'm curious.
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 2: It's not going to be mine for sure, but I'm curious.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: No. so mine i put it on there because i
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 1: watched it again recently okay and it's just a really
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 1: really good movie but i know a lot of people
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: have watched it i just want to give another shout
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: out to it oddity from 2024.
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 2: Oh okay love it that.
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 1: Movie is freaking awesome and i'm going to like scream
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: to the rooftops until everybody watches this movie.
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know did you watch that you said you
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 2: watched that recently.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 1: I watched it again recently.
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 1: And it's, it is a 100% a blast of a
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: movie that I would totally more people need to see it.
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: And it's not even just, it's not a shutter exclusive anymore.
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: It's on Hulu now.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, interesting. Okay.
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's just a ghost story about a guy
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: who's a pretty awful guy. You know the mystery pretty
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: early on, for the most part. But it's the guy
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: probably had something to do with killing his wife. His
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: wife's sister trying to come over to figure some stuff out,
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: if you will.
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 2: If you will. Yeah, the narrative... What's that?
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And the thing she does to her ex-brother-in-law's new fiance,
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: it's just kind of like, I think you suck a lot.
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: You probably don't understand what's going on, but I'm going
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: to make your life kind of miserable because I have to.
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a very well-written story. Kind of non-linear storytelling
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 2: in a sense because you get flashbacks, you get flash-forwards,
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 2: but it's really good because all the pieces are there,
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 2: but the movie doesn't necessarily hold your hand with that information.
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 2: You kind of need to put the pieces together yourself
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 2: in certain instances. Sometimes it's glaringly obvious, like, oh, I've
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 2: got that connection, but there's a lot of subtle things
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 2: in this movie, and the ending, which I will not spoil,
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 2: is just, it is the literal chef's kiss to... in
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 2: how that movie needed to end with the, with the skeptic.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, very last shot. Perfect.
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Perfect ending.
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 2: Oddity is fantastic. That was on, I think that was
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 2: probably on my top 10 of last year. Very good.
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: Very good. For me last year when I, when I
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 1: did my podcast.
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 2: Okay. Perfect.
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 2: All right, so my number one is, it's kind of
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 2: like Monster Squad. It's a gateway horror movie, I would say.
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 2: It's not technically listed as a horror movie, but it's
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 2: got the vibes. It's Paranorman. It is a Laika studio film,
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 2: animated movie, stop motion. To me, it's just a perfect movie.
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 2: It's five out of five. I love Paranorman. It's something
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 2: I watch every Halloween. It's got spooky elements. It's got
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 2: a lot of fun humor. There's some references to other
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 2: horror movies. It's just a really good time and a
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 2: really good story. I wasn't paying attention to the story
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 2: the first few times, and then when I actually sat
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 2: down and put my phone down and watched it, I
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 2: was like, oh, this is a genuinely solid story. So
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 2: Paranorman for me is great. It's my all-time favorite Laika
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 2: production that they've done, and if you haven't seen it,
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 2: it's a great time.
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and the Paranorman is a really good... The only
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 1: thing that comes kind of close to it that came
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 1: out of a similar title is Monster House, which I
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: also thought about for this movie.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Monster House is good, yeah.
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: But Paranorman is a lot better. And it's probably my
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 1: favorite Laika movie, too.
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 2: It's just so good.
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a shame those movies are like a makeshift, like,
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: just bleed money. They can never make their money back.
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, I know. And it takes them, you know, years
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 2: to make because it's like, it's stop motion. I mean,
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 2: it must be agonizing to make those things because they
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 2: move so fluidly. You're like, how do you do this?
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 2: But yeah, Paranorma is excellent. I think they're actually doing
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 2: a re-release in theaters. I'm pretty sure AMC is doing
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 2: a couple of screenings. But yeah, that's my... horror vibe
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 2: for the year, for sure.
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: Well, it is a really, really good movie to put
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 1: on for Halloween. Yeah. You can watch it with all family.
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, and it's safe for the kids, too. This
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 2: one is safe for the kids. I have shown my
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 2: daughter it, but she's very into this Zootopia Sing phase
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 2: right now, and anything that's not either one of those
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 2: two is not good enough. So we're trying to move
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 2: her into, we was like, dude, we got to watch
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 2: different movies. But I know when she's older, she'll really
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 2: like it because she loves spooky things. Every time she
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 2: sees a ghost, you know, because we've got Halloween decorations up,
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 2: she goes, ooh, like a ghost. So she's into the
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 2: spooky stuff. She's just like only wants to watch Zootopia.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, I'm a bit burnt out on Zootopia
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 2: at this point. So, you know, but yeah. Great. A
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 2: lot of good gateway horror recommendations, which is good for
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 2: anybody with families, with younger kids that you want to
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 2: get into horror movies. And then a lot of kind
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 2: of deeper cuts here. And of course, we had to
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 2: add some, you know, some bigger name stuff as well.
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 2: But I think comparatively with both our lists, we brought,
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 2: I think, kind of every element of the horror genre here.
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 2: We had a little bit of everything, which was good.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 2: But yeah, this was, so this is going to be
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 2: a limited time episode for, we were supposed to do
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 2: this last week, but life, you know, it happened. So
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 2: this will be available, I'll extend it into like the
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 2: first week of November. So this will be Halloween recommendations
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 2: to watch till the end of the month. And then
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 2: if you're in November and you're getting the Halloween blues,
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 2: then throw this episode on and, you know, get some recommendations.
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 2: But then I'm going to pull it. off of, uh, streaming.
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 2: And then we're going to just kind of, I don't
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 2: know if we're going to just release the same episode
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 2: every year, or maybe we'll do something different, but the
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 2: goal is to do one of these specials every year.
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 2: Now going forward, that is a limited time episode during
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 2: the month of October. So you can get some spooky recommendations. If, uh,
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 2: if you just, I don't know if you just want something,
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 2: you want something new, uh, or maybe we, we, we
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 2: set a title that you're like, oh man, I haven't
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 2: seen that in forever. You know, this is, that's the
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 2: whole point of this. And, uh, yeah, again, this is
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 2: all thanks to Jason from Jason. Uh, what did Jason
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 2: tell make me watch? So, um, I've got nothing else.
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 2: What's that?
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: What did Jason Hill make me recommend? Yeah.
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 2: Jason recommended 13 things. Uh, but this time I think
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 2: we can all say, Jason says, check it out. You're
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 2: probably going to love all of these.
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: These are legitimately good. There's a lot of movies that
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: they watch. Awesome. Watch. Not pretty, pretty. I mean, I
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: know you love blackout. I know that was your favorite
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: movie ever recommended for you to watch.
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 2: Um, Oh man. Every it's, it's funny. Cause even the
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 2: ones that I don't think are necessarily like good movies,
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 2: they're almost always fun. And you've just exposed me to
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 2: so many movies. I either a would have never heard
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 2: of or be never watched because I never heard of.
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 2: So I love the thing that we've done this past
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 2: like year and a half at this point. It's great.
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 2: So I think that's going to do it for this episode.
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 2: Unless you have any closing thoughts, Mr.
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 1: Jason. No, that's going to be it for the most part.
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: I hope everybody has a great, fun, and safe Halloween.
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 1: Watch some spooky stuff. Listen to, I don't know, spooky music, too.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, throw some spooky music on there. But, yeah, have
• 1:38:17

• 1:38:20
  Speaker 2: be up for a few weeks, so you can get
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 2: your spooky recommendations in, and then they'll be vanished into
