Oh my god, did you just see that play? 9 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:25,080 Speaker 2: What just happened? 10 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 3: What I Toronto hit? That ball? 11 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 2: Looked like it was out of there, looked like it 12 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,639 Speaker 2: was a home run, and then it came down and 13 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 2: wedged itself between the bottom of the wall and the ground, 14 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,479 Speaker 2: kind of like when you get a basketball stuck in 15 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 2: the rim there. That's what happened. And it looked like 16 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 2: the Dodgers didn't know that it was still in play, 17 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 2: and they kind of threw their hands up and they 18 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 2: didn't know what was going on. And they finally recovered 19 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,639 Speaker 2: the ball and threw it in, but not before there 20 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 2: was a run. They gave them the run. They took 21 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 2: the run back, So it's still what what kind of 22 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 2: what just happened? 23 00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 4: Was? 24 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 3: This is too much?

That was a crazy play. 27 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 2: You'll certainly see that on the highlights tonight because that 28 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 2: was just like a fluke. All right, let's get into 29 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 2: our deeper Dives segment as it's Halloween and I am 30 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 2: making sure that we have no shortage of interesting and 31 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 2: fun and engaging Halloween stories for you.

It's not 34 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 2: everyone's cup of tea cup of pumpkin spice, but escape 35 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 2: rooms are something that I grew to love because I 36 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 2: really found a lot of fun in the puzzle solving 37 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 2: aspect of them and doing them with people who you 38 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 2: enjoy being around. 39 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 3: Because let me tell you this. 40 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 2: If you go to an escape room and the relationship 41 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 2: you have with the person or people you go with 42 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 2: is not strong, it will end the relationship. 43 00:01:59,520 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 3: It is a. 44 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 2: Relationship jeopardizers, So you better be strong when you go 45 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 2: in there. I don't care if it's your mom, if 46 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 2: it's your husband, if whoever it is, it can end you. 47 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 2: So you better know who you're going in there with. 48 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 2: But I enjoy them. They're a lot of fun. They 49 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 2: can be very intense and escape rooms are these they're 50 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 2: literal rooms. They're rooms within like a warehouse or stay 51 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 2: a department store that's closed down, and they convert these 52 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 2: big spaces into rooms, individual rooms, where each room is 53 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 2: designed to test your wits and problems solving skills. Now 54 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 2: you have to work together with whoever you go with. 55 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 2: It could be one person. You can go solo if 56 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 2: you're one of those. 57 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 3: People and one of those crazy people. 58 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 2: But whoever you go with, you have to work with 59 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,119 Speaker 2: to figure out the clues, find a myriad of objects, 60 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 2: solve puzzles all before time runs out. 61 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 3: Yes, this goes to a timer. 62 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 2: They put you in a room, let's say a size 63 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 2: of your living room or maybe mold rooms and an experience, 64 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 2: and you have to figure out how to get out 65 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,239 Speaker 2: of each room before the overall sixty minute or ninety 66 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 2: minute timer runs out. 67 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:10,519 Speaker 3: That's how you win. 68 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 2: If it expires before you crack all these codes, then 69 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 2: you lose. And I don't know what happens when you lose. 70 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 2: I don't think you want to find out. But there 71 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 2: are rewards and surprises seemingly around every corner. They can 72 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 2: be scary, they can be exciting. They can be funny, 73 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 2: and they are all the rage with a lot of people. 74 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 2: They're a growing trend in family fun in workplace activities, 75 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 2: challenges for friends, all in this effort to escape. So 76 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 2: why are they so popular? Where do they come from? 77 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 2: There's a man named John Wilson, and he's one of 78 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 2: the earliest influencers of escape games. 79 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 3: He's credited as being one of the earliest. 80 00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 2: He created a virtual text based adventure called Behind Closed Doors, 81 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 2: which required players to enter text commands to get out 82 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 2: of a bathroom. Okay, John Wilson was a maniac, and 83 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 2: what he did was he put people in a bathroom 84 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 2: and said figure these things out and I'll let you out. 85 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 2: And people did it. They enjoyed it. Up up there 86 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 2: we go one out. Dodger's still at three to one, 87 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,359 Speaker 2: bottom of the ninth Okay, now, John Wilson and his 88 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 2: success then moved forward the next iteration of the escape room, 89 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 2: and that came in two thousand and four with something 90 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 2: called The Christom Room in Japan. Now, this game challenged 91 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 2: players to navigate a small red room and use their 92 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 2: wits and skills to figure out how to escape. But 93 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 2: the modern iteration of the escape room what we see 94 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 2: all over the place in different areas that you might 95 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 2: have been by, or been asked to go to, or 96 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 2: taken your kids to. That emerged into thousand and seven, 97 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 2: also in Japan, and since then, escape rooms have popped 98 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 2: up across the country, from San Francisco to New York, 99 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 2: across the world, from Singapore to Switzerland. They're on cruise ships, 100 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 2: they're pretty much everywhere. And the popularity of escape rooms 101 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 2: has a lot to do with the Internet. With the Internet, 102 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,359 Speaker 2: quick update, Dodgers stilled bottom of the ninth two outs. 103 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 3: That's it, it's over there. Wait, this is that's the 104 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 3: that's it. Dodgers win. Dodgers win. 105 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 5: Oh. 106 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: Game seven. 107 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 2: Game seven's tomorrow tomorrow in Toronto.

You're gonna see the highlights. 110 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 2: That was an incredible finish to game six, series tie 111 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 2: three to three. Game seven tomorrow in Toronto. It's do 112 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 2: or die for both teams. We'll see what happens. Back 113 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 2: to the escape room. So the Internet has helped propel 114 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 2: the modern escape room into territory that people never really 115 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 2: expected it to go, and here's the thing about it. 116 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:15,919 Speaker 2: With twenty twenty, we saw online escape rooms emerge, which 117 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 2: in my opinion that probably is a felony, felony kidnapping 118 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 2: if you don't do that right if it goes wrong. 119 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 2: But at any rate, online escape rooms became very popular. 120 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 2: So escape rooms have continued to just modify themselves, continue 121 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 2: to advance, and there are quite a few in Los Angeles. 122 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 2: I'm going to share some of the escape rooms that 123 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 2: are very popular here in the Southland as well, and 124 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 2: also tell you about a really unfortunate story of an 125 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 2: escape room, which is also a cautionary tale because escape 126 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 2: rooms are that they're pretty intense and they can go wrong, 127 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 2: and that's not often talked about, but we're going to 128 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 2: talk about it in this deeper dive segment looking at 129 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 2: the history of escape rooms, some popular escape rooms, and 130 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 2: how escape rooms can go wrong.

Not all of them are advanced and sophisticated. 229 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 2: Some of them are downright hazardous and in this case deadly. 230 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 2: Back in twenty nineteen, there were five teenage girls who 231 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 2: went to an escape room for a birthday party.

Author already 339 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 5: say the scammers are spoofing the department's official phone number 340 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 5: and then calling people about Warren's ball or request for payment. 341 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 5: The department says it will never call you to demand money, 342 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 5: ask for personal information over the phone, or ask you 343 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,640 Speaker 5: to provide gift card numbers. 344 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:28,679 Speaker 3: A big red flag people. 345 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,239 Speaker 2: If anyone calls you who you do not know, and 346 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 2: possibly people you do know, and they say can you 347 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 2: pay for something with a gift card, it is a scam. 348 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 3: Do not take that bait. Please. 349 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 2: There are lots of ways that these things slip through 350 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 2: the cracks, but please do not be one of the 351 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 2: people who has fallen victim because you fail for the 352 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 2: can you pay with a gift card scam portion of 353 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 2: or question of the scam. That's the probably one of 354 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 2: the biggest red flags. In addition to being called by 355 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:09,439 Speaker 2: different services, different agencies, many of these places will not 356 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,199 Speaker 2: call you and Hermosa Beach Police are saying they are 357 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:17,160 Speaker 2: one entity that will never call you to demand money. 358 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 2: But somehow scammers are able to impersonate members of the 359 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 2: police department through assuming the phone numbers attached to the 360 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 2: police department. They call it spoofing, and it's a strange 361 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 2: technological entryway into scamming. I don't fully understand how they 362 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 2: do it, but I know I have seen numbers pop 363 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 2: up that look very similar to other numbers, and you 364 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 2: might answer, you might respond to the text because it's 365 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 2: slightly different, and you might miss it. And when that 366 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,679 Speaker 2: number rings and it looks like something you're familiar with, 367 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:04,679 Speaker 2: as especially law enforcement, then you could fall victim to 368 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 2: this scam. And what they do is a tell you 369 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 2: you have a warrant. They give you something that is urgent. 370 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,640 Speaker 2: You have a warrant, and you start thinking what did 371 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 2: I do? 372 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 3: Wait? Where was I? 373 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,919 Speaker 2: And they have something convincing, some information convincing enough to 374 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 2: get you to buy into the scam. 375 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 3: They tell you you have a warrant. 376 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 2: Everything in your body knows you didn't do anything to 377 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 2: warrant a warrant, but somehow you keep listening and they 378 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,360 Speaker 2: know they have you, and they tell you have this warrant. 379 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 2: They tell you have to post bail, and they say, no, 380 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,679 Speaker 2: you don't have to come down and post bail. You 381 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,639 Speaker 2: can do it over the phone with a gift card 382 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 2: and something in you goes that makes sense, and then 383 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 2: you give them gift card information, or you send them 384 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 2: gift card information, God forbid, you give them your debit 385 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 2: card information or other sensitive info. But these people are 386 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 2: able to do this because there are others who will 387 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 2: allow it. They wouldn't get far if they weren't able 388 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 2: to do it in the first place. 389 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 3: So Hermosa Beach is saying. 390 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 2: Do not give them money, do not give any personal 391 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 2: information over the phone. 392 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:18,639 Speaker 3: They're not gonna call you. 393 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,199 Speaker 2: And if this does happen to you, please hang up 394 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 2: immediately and let their department. No, don't call nine one one, 395 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 2: they said, and say, hey, someone's trying to scam me. 396 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 2: Don't tie up the line because you got scammed. Call 397 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 2: the non emergency number. And it doesn't just happen in 398 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 2: Hermosa Beach. This is anywhere and everywhere usay, So make 399 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 2: sure that you are keen to these sorts of things. 400 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 2: If you know you have people in your life who 401 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,120 Speaker 2: will fall victim to this, who are susceptible, then educate 402 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 2: them as well. No one will ever call you from 403 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 2: these sorts of agencies asking for payment, especially in the 404 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 2: form of gift cards, and you don't have a warrant, 405 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 2: you would have gotten something in the mail, not just 406 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:05,160 Speaker 2: a phone call. 407 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 3: On the flip side of that. 408 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 2: There may be more people on Earth than we know. 409 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:18,479 Speaker 2: That is a scary proposition, and quite honestly, I think 410 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 2: there were more people, billions more, perhaps on the freeway 411 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 2: today given the traffic. I don't know what's going on, 412 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 2: but estimates that we sit around eight point two billion 413 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 2: may be vastly underrepresenting rural areas. And that's because there's 414 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 2: a scientist, or rather a postdoctoral researcher at a university 415 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 2: in Finland who's also an author and published in this 416 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 2: journal called Nature Communications, who says that these estimates could 417 00:22:54,119 --> 00:23:00,880 Speaker 2: be underrepresenting rural areas by a significant march. His name 418 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 2: is hosaias Lang Ritter, and he says that depending on 419 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 2: the data set, rural populations have been underestimated by between 420 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 2: fifty three percent to eighty four percent over the period studied, 421 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 2: and that period is about a decade. If that is 422 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:26,400 Speaker 2: the case, then that eight point two billion could be 423 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 2: a lot more. Now they're saying underestimating by tens of 424 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 2: thousands or even hundreds of thousands is not abnormal. You 425 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 2: can't account for everyone, and we see that with our 426 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 2: own homeless counts. Every few years, not everyone is counted 427 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 2: and the numbers get reported and people contest, and in 428 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 2: this case they're saying that that is normal. But to 429 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 2: have an underrepresentation that can amount to multiple millions, if 430 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 2: not billions, of people, would upend the world as we 431 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 2: know it. They say that it's a map of news 432 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 2: story that would need to be covered in every way 433 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 2: because it goes against all the years of thousands of 434 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 2: other data sets. 435 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,719 Speaker 3: But if you think it's only eight point two billion, 436 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:13,239 Speaker 3: I'm here to tell you. 437 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 2: Get on the one oh one Freeway at five o'clock 438 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 2: PM and you'll you'll find out there are a lot 439 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 2: more people around you than you think, and that you 440 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 2: want to be. And they all seem to be traveling 441 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 2: with me today and yesterday. 442 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 3: What's going on? Dodgers aren't even here. I don't know 443 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 3: what's going on. 444 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 2: When we come back, we're gonna talk about Freddy Krueger, 445 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,360 Speaker 2: one of my favorite actors, Robert England. He was honored 446 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 2: today with the star finally on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. 447 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,640 Speaker 2: We're gonna talk a little bit about that and his legacy. 448 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,160 Speaker 2: One of his legacies. He's very layered, but that legacy 449 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 2: definitely is the Nightmare on Elm Street Saga the series, 450 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 2: and we'll talk about some of those movies and the 451 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 2: franchise and how much money those movies have earned since 452 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 2: they debut. Robert England got a star, and I'll tell 453 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 2: you a little bit more about that on the other 454 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 2: side of the break. 455 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:05,640 Speaker 3: Tiffany Hobbs here till ten. 456 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 457 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,160 Speaker 3: Tiffany Hobbs till ten. 458 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 2: Now we're getting ready to talk about something truly scary, 459 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 2: something that haunted my nightmares for many years. And I'd 460 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,719 Speaker 2: say in a way that I enjoyed because I really 461 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 2: love this franchise. It is something that is synonymous with Halloween, synonymous. 462 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,120 Speaker 3: With horror and horror culture. 463 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 2: And what better day to honor I'd say the I 464 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,679 Speaker 2: almost want to call him the Prince of Darkness, but 465 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 2: that'd be Ozzy Osbourne. He needs a different moniker. But 466 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 2: this person is the pinnacle of horror and his name 467 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 2: is Robert England. What better day to honor Robert England 468 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 2: than on Halloween with a star on the Hollywood Walk 469 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,679 Speaker 2: of Fame, the. 470 00:25:58,760 --> 00:25:59,919 Speaker 6: Kids of Elm Street. 471 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 3: I don't know it yet, but something is coming to 472 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 3: get them.

And 509 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 2: we know what it has become. He went on to 510 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 2: study at the US branch of the Royal Academy of 511 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 2: Dramatic Art at Oakland University in Detroit. 512 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 3: He was a play actor. 513 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 2: He was a theater kid, a theater actor, just theatrically trained, 514 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 2: and then pivots into his very first movie role, the 515 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 2: nineteen eighty four released torror movie A Nightmare on Elm Street. 516 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 2: Wes Crave and intended to cast a bulky stuntman to 517 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 2: play Freddy Krueger The Haunt, the Haunt of your dreams, 518 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 2: the Terror of your nights, but instead took a chance 519 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 2: on Robert England after his audition, and the movie was 520 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 2: a hit. Talk about a fan base, talk about a following, 521 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 2: talk about the lore. Freddy Krueger lives today, all these 522 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 2: years later, forty one years later, I'm eighty four, forty 523 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 2: one years later, and you can still find people dressing 524 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 2: up like Freddy Krueger of all ages. And one of 525 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 2: my favorite costumes to see every Halloween is like a 526 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 2: baby Freddy Krueger. You get this, like toddler Freddy Krueger 527 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 2: with the little plastic you know, knives at the tips 528 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 2: of the fingers there, and they don't know. It's just 529 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 2: the red and green sweatshirt. That's your thing, and you 530 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 2: always see it and it just makes you feel good 531 00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:01,479 Speaker 2: despite what the movie's actually about. Nineteen eighty four, the 532 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 2: first one. The last one was a re release in 533 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, actually a pair of them, one in 534 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 2: which Freddy Krueger battled Jason Vorhees, and that was a 535 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:18,719 Speaker 2: re release that movie Freddie Versus Jason came out in 536 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 2: two thousand and three. 537 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 3: Not the best, not the. 538 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 2: Best, probably one of those kind of throwaways. Put it 539 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 2: on background, you're doing something else, but it's a part 540 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 2: of the world of Freddy Krueger and people enjoy it. 541 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 3: And they don't have to be great movies. 542 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 2: They just have to have Freddy Krueger because that's what 543 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 2: you're there for. But nineteen eighty four was followed by 544 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 2: nineteen eighty five, A Nightmare on Elm Street two, Freddy's 545 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 2: What was that marra was called Freddy's Revenge? Freddy's Revenge, 546 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 2: and then a Nightmare on Elm Street, The dream Child, 547 00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 2: remember that one. Then a Nightmare on ELM's Street three 548 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 2: Dream Warriors. I think those both came out around the 549 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 2: same time. I think I just skipped, but those were 550 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 2: a pair in the mid to late eighties. He had 551 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 2: a Nightmare on Elm Street four The dream Master. My 552 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 2: favorite is a Nightmare on Elm Street five, but it's 553 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 2: not called that. It's just a Nightmare on Elm Street 554 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 2: and I'm looking for it. I think that's Freddy's Dead, 555 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 2: the final Nightmare. They're also back to back to back 556 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 2: because he was doing so well. They were just coming 557 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 2: out rapid fire every year, every other year, and Freddy 558 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 2: Krueger dominated the eighties well into the nineties, and then 559 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 2: saw success again with the reinvention of the Freddy Krueger universe, 560 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 2: pairing him with other serial killers in the two thousands 561 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 2: and having those re releases and the just a few 562 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:53,720 Speaker 2: years ago, and at seventy eight, who knows, Freddy might 563 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 2: be back. 564 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 3: I sure hope. 565 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 2: So when we come back, we're going to talk a 566 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 2: little bit more about Halloween.
