- 0:36Speaker 1: everyone needs to join the Meltdown Horror Club.

- 1:00Speaker 1: I was like, what better time to just throw several

- 1:07Speaker 1: top of that, you have access to all the old ones.
- 1:09Speaker 1: All our other old amazing episodes are now available to

- 1:16Speaker 1: you should do it. And you can hear us say
- 1:19Speaker 1: ridiculous and spooky things like this.
- 1:23Speaker 3: Somebody's got candy that the rappers glow in the dark.
- 1:26Speaker 1: I saw, I think Eminem. It might be.
- 1:29Speaker 3: Eminem or Hershey's. I don't remember. But I remember seeing
- 1:32Speaker 3: the bag and in great big letters it says glow
- 1:34Speaker 3: in the dark. And then I was disappointed when I
- 1:36Speaker 3: found it wasn't the actual candy.
- 1:38Speaker 1: I thought, yeah, I love the exact thing. I was
- 1:40Speaker 1: like glow in the dark candy. That's awesome. And probably poisonous, right?
- 1:44Speaker 1: I'm guessing. It's totally worth it. One in particular caught
- 1:49Speaker 1: me off guard. So I was like, Okay, we can
- 1:52Speaker 1: use that as our springboard here. I don't know how
- 1:55Speaker 1: detailed you want to go into the retelling of it,
- 1:57Speaker 1: or you can just pitch it and tell people to
- 1:59Speaker 1: listen to that episode because we can cross-promote. But specifically
- 2:03Speaker 1: as you got into your tales of Are You Afraid
- 2:06Speaker 1: of the Dark, the tale of the dark music, I
- 2:11Speaker 1: was just like, I obviously never saw this as you
- 2:15Speaker 1: were telling the tale of that one. I was like, wait, what?
- 2:18Speaker 2: What?
- 2:20Speaker 1: Do we want a brief overview of that one? Just
- 2:23Speaker 1: so people know what we're talking about.
- 2:24Speaker 4: Let's see if I remember this.
- 2:26Speaker 3: I watched a lot of Are You Afraid of the Dark.
- 2:28Speaker 3: I don't remember a musical episode.
- 2:30Speaker 2: So this kid, Andy, I think, his mom has just
- 2:34Speaker 2: gotten divorced. They inherit this old house from her great uncle.
- 2:39Speaker 2: And kind of as it goes on, he meets this
- 2:41Speaker 2: neighborhood bully who's a jerk. And he also realizes down
- 2:44Speaker 2: in the basement.
- 2:48Speaker 4: I remember an episode, and I don't know if I'm
- 2:50Speaker 4: remembering right, but this is how it has been imprinted
- 2:52Speaker 4: in my memory.
- 2:53Speaker 1: It's just a.
- 2:55Speaker 4: Kid falls in a hole and dies. No, it's like
- 2:59Speaker 4: there's a hole in the ground, falls in the hole,
- 3:00Speaker 4: he's dead, and now he's a ghost. And he's wearing
- 3:03Speaker 4: a red hoodie. But it's just like, that's it. There's
- 3:07Speaker 4: a kid falling in a hole and dying.
- 3:08Speaker 1: I'm like, all right. It's great. Great TV for children.
- 3:12Speaker 1: It sure is.
- 3:14Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:17Speaker 3: Because there was one issue in particular which caught adults' attention.
- 3:21Speaker 1: Finally, some mom picked it up and went, wait, what?
- 3:23Speaker 3: Well, the cover was a silhouette of a guy with
- 3:27Speaker 3: an axe in one hand and clearly shown in the
- 3:31Speaker 3: other hand is.
- 3:31Speaker 2: I remember the Freaky Fred episode very.
- 3:36Speaker 1: clearly.
- 3:37Speaker 2: That barber guy who like had the little nursery rhyme
- 3:40Speaker 2: and he like tried to shave courage and he was
- 3:43Speaker 2: really weird i don't remember what his deal was i
- 3:46Speaker 2: just remember like him as a character.
- 3:48Speaker 1: Yeah i think that was every episode i ever saw.
- 3:51Speaker 3: Well the the episode i'm talking about uh for i
- 3:54Speaker 3: don't remember why but for some reason arnold and dudley
- 3:58Speaker 3: end up in a haunted.
- 3:59Speaker 1: House Just when he was the dark lord of the universe,
- 4:06Speaker 1: that was cool enough. But the fact that he's such
- 4:08Speaker 1: a dork, he just plays golf and sits home watching
- 4:10Speaker 1: entertainment tonight every night. I'm just like, man, you just
- 4:13Speaker 1: became so much cooler. I wanted to come in on
- 4:16Speaker 1: the third act of a slasher movie, essentially. And that's exactly, like,
- 4:20Speaker 1: we come in after most of the people were with
- 4:23Speaker 1: the final girl, and, like, everyone else has already been murdered.
- 4:26Speaker 1: She's wearing their blood. So, yeah, it's an interesting way
- 4:31Speaker 1: to be thrown in the middle of a story.
- 4:34Speaker 3: They gave her three boobs, which is, that seems a bit, like, why?
- 4:37Speaker 1: Andy, what are you talking about? Who doesn't? From total
- 4:41Speaker 1: recall on, everybody was just like.
- 4:43Speaker 2: No, that's a good idea. Well, it was kind of
- 4:47Speaker 2: like Rosemary's Baby-ish too, in a way. Just like having
- 4:52Speaker 2: your soon-to-be spouse controlling you. your body and what you're
- 4:56Speaker 2: going to look like. And I think that's like a
- 4:58Speaker 2: very real fear for a lot of women.
- 5:00Speaker 3: I'm glad you clarified that.
- 5:01Speaker 1: Cause I don't remember. Just in the more general sense.
- 5:07Speaker 1: Little skinny Mia Farrow. She'll fall over. That's not cool, man.
- 5:11Speaker 1: Don't do that to her.
- 5:14Speaker 3: And I did like how it ends on kind of
- 5:16Speaker 3: a cliffhanger. Like, is this guy just going to haunt
- 5:18Speaker 3: this kid forever now?
- 5:20Speaker 1: Cause that would suck.
- 5:21Speaker 2: Yeah. She was, like, totally drugged and, like, super adamant.
- 5:26Speaker 1: This is a horror story.
- 5:27Speaker 2: And I was like, oh, and she was like, I
- 5:29Speaker 2: love you, give me a hug. Me and my brother
- 5:31Speaker 2: were like, ah!
- 5:33Speaker 4: No!
- 5:33Speaker 2: We went to spend the night somewhere else.
- 5:36Speaker 1: But I do remember, I did just remember that. This
- 5:39Speaker 1: is horrifying.
- 5:40Speaker 2: And we were like, we're going to go to our
- 5:41Speaker 2: cousin's house to not be traumatized.
- 5:44Speaker 1: Oh, they were on.
- 5:47Speaker 2: The chain shadows of the night.
