Speaker 1: one that comes out the following week. That's right. So
Speaker 1: as you know, as you know Noel, as you nol,
Speaker 1: no I may or may not. We uh, we're doing
Speaker 1: a lot of HALLOWEENI horror movie content. I didn't know
Speaker 1: that all October. We're just gonna chock it full. What
Speaker 1: are you eating? I had a bite of some of
Speaker 1: the catering that's out there. Did you really you just
Speaker 1: took a pork and took a bite. No. I made
Speaker 1: a tiny plate and ate it in two quick bites.
Speaker 1: So really, I'm not an animal chuck. She says, you
Speaker 1: didn't bring me anything. Well, it's a small room. It's
Speaker 1: not very well ventilated. We don't want smelly food in here. Man,
Speaker 1: you're gone for like forty five seconds and you ate
Speaker 1: a small plate. I ate a bite of of of
Speaker 1: of steak. It's very good. Well, we're gonna finish in
Speaker 1: thirty minutes. We can go eat for real. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be good. Man. I'm stuff all right. We're doing some
Speaker 1: social studies in Uh. In the last episode, we did
Speaker 1: some terrifying characters and scenes. This one, I thought I'd
Speaker 1: lighten it up a bit and go with Halloween movie traditions.
Speaker 1: You got any I mean, I guess I'm starting him
Speaker 1: now because my kids kind of old enough to watch
Speaker 1: some of these more. I like that. I like watching
Speaker 1: the schlocky, bad movies that I used to think we're
Speaker 1: scary that are clearly not really and showing her and
Speaker 1: she's like, Dad, this sucks. Yeah, but she know. She
Speaker 1: loved Child's Play. We laughed the whole time. It was
Speaker 1: so fun. She's just not scared. She's not scared, but
Speaker 1: I don't want her to be scared, because that's she's too.
Speaker 1: I don't really want to traumatize her, of course you don't.
Speaker 1: We just want And the funny thing is I sort
Speaker 1: of put on Child's Play on a whim, thinking in
Speaker 1: my mind, like, I don't think this is actually scary,
Speaker 1: but I was like, what if it is and it
Speaker 1: traumatizes there? But it totally didn't. It was just comical.
Speaker 1: We had a great time. So that's gonna be our
Speaker 1: tradition watching stuff like that. I don't really have any
Speaker 1: traditions but I'm really hoping my daughter gets into horror
Speaker 1: movies a little bit because Emily is not, so I
Speaker 1: have to go it alone. She won't. She won't do it.
Speaker 1: And I get it. You know, she like has nightmares,
Speaker 1: you know it like literally keeps her up at night.
Speaker 1: That's a bummer. But I also, you know, I get it.
Speaker 1: Sure not for everyone. So Halloween movie traditions, we start
Speaker 1: off with the first poster as always. Uh. Margie Witteck says,
Speaker 1: all the classic universal monsters. We watch the Hammer, Dracula
Speaker 1: and Frankenstein movies. Who's the Hammer? I don't know, like
Speaker 1: the Hammer, like the Studio, I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: know either, I don't know. Uh. And of course the
Speaker 1: original Halloween on Halloween Night. Yeah, old friend John McKellop, John,
Speaker 1: I think I finally said that right, compilation of different cartoons,
Speaker 1: Halloween cartoons, some of the Looney Tunes, Disney Headless Horseman,
Speaker 1: Charlie Brown Garfield and then the first tin Simpson's tree
Speaker 1: House of Horrors. I like what you're throwing down there, John.
Speaker 1: I love Hammer Film Productions. It's like an old like
Speaker 1: thirties British film company that Lucky Monster Movies that oldest
Speaker 1: of friends, Vanessa Cashman, part of the Vanessa Squad. I'm
Speaker 1: always making an awesome costume for whatever party is. The
Speaker 1: weekend before okay and Halloween night, are trying to find
Speaker 1: a spooky movie to watch while waiting for tricker treaters. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: we don't get too many anymore. I don't know if
Speaker 1: she means spooky movies or tricker treaters must treats. I
Speaker 1: think so we don't get any in our house now.
Speaker 1: But you live off a main drag kind of right.
Speaker 1: I'm on, I'm on a fairly main uh like neighborhood thoroughfare,
Speaker 1: not like a main main road. But what they do
Speaker 1: is they close down two blocks. A couple box up
Speaker 1: for me like that. Literally the police parked their cars
Speaker 1: sideways and all the streets are shut down, which is
Speaker 1: great because you just walk around. The parents are drinking,
Speaker 1: the kids are trick or treating, no worries in the world.
Speaker 1: It's just a big old party. Um. And then like
Speaker 1: if you kept going around sort of a curve that
Speaker 1: is where my house is, and people just don't make
Speaker 1: it down. They don't make it that far, which is
Speaker 1: okay whatever, But I like it's fine because I'm out
Speaker 1: trick or treating anyway, and I'm not going to do
Speaker 1: that thing where you leave candy on the front porn
Speaker 1: screw that come on no good. So we just turn
Speaker 1: our lights off and you know, no one's coming anyway.
Speaker 1: But that's the signal like, don't come to my house.
Speaker 1: Me and eating. She's gonna be uh squid word from SpongeBob,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna be Mr. Crabs. And then her friend's
Speaker 1: gonna be Sandy the Squirrel, and our other friends gonna
Speaker 1: be SpongeBob. We're gonna be the whole crew. I'm pretty
Speaker 1: excited about that. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: because this year my daughter wants to be Sophia, the Princess,
Speaker 1: Sophia the Yeah, the first first there you go, which
Speaker 1: you know, we we tried to steer away from the
Speaker 1: princess stuff as much as possible, and we did so
Speaker 1: for four years successfully and she finally got into it.
Speaker 1: And I'm not going to begrudge her and say like, no,
Speaker 1: we don't do princess things in this house. She's over
Speaker 1: four now, so you know it's fine. He didn't never
Speaker 1: had a princess face. Yeah, she's not hard into it, um,
Speaker 1: but that's what she wants to do for Halloween. So
Speaker 1: she's doing it. That's fine. I don't know what I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do because we usually do a family thing. I'm
Speaker 1: certainly not gonna dress up as a king. Why not,
Speaker 1: you're very kingly, chuck. Well, I don't have that stuff.
Speaker 1: So I think I'm just gonna put on my eighties
Speaker 1: outfit for my band. You know, we're playing an eighties
Speaker 1: set Porchfest. I know I gotta cut it that this time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna I got my MTV shirt, my members
Speaker 1: only jacket. What is that? One? Is the Porchfest? It is? Uh?
Speaker 1: And if anyone wants to go, well, I don't know
Speaker 1: if this will be out. This won't be out. It
Speaker 1: has already happened a little so great, Okay, cool October
Speaker 1: it's coming right up. I'm in town. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: to that. You should. We're hankword. We think we're good,
Speaker 1: but like we're adding a whole new instrument, the synthesizer.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, my wife, you're Westing. So it's all like
Speaker 1: she's doing a great job to do a little rico.
Speaker 1: It's all Dodgy. We are doing a car song, but
Speaker 1: it's not a ric Ocassic song. We're doing just what
Speaker 1: I needed, which is a bin or song. Is that right?
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. That's the that's the fundamental cars
Speaker 1: song that I always think of. It's got that cynth line,
Speaker 1: that weed weed, dude weed. It's great and Emily's killing
Speaker 1: it awesome. Sou Let me see here what people do.

Speaker 1: out of this. But me and my daughter watch hocus
Speaker 1: Pocus over a cheese pizza and how made ice cream?

Speaker 1: it's wonderful. Not the same thing hocus Pocus with pizza
Speaker 1: and ice cream? Sign me up. I haven't seen Hocus
Speaker 1: book who talked about that? I haven't seen either. But
Speaker 1: I would love to go over to Christine's house absolutely,
Speaker 1: hang with her and her daughter and eat their food
Speaker 1: and watch their movie. Sounds like a good time. I
Speaker 1: would do that in a second. Matt Cliff says, I've
Speaker 1: collected both Halloween and Christmas movies for years and every
Speaker 1: year it's a goal of mine to watch every single
Speaker 1: one of them. Spoiler, I never do. It's tough. Katie Scott,
Speaker 1: one of our old friends, says, The Great Pumpkin Charlie
Speaker 1: Brown so much of a tradition that now my husband
Speaker 1: insists we hand out rocks to trick or treaters with
Speaker 1: bad gods tumes. Katie, I love your husband. Look forward
Speaker 1: to getting your your house toilet paper. Perhaps maybe there's
Speaker 1: some of those rocks end up thrown back through your window.
Speaker 1: That's a bad costume. Here's a rock. Yeah, that's pretty funny. Uh.
Speaker 1: Kira Hawkins says multiple viewings of hocus Pocus and The
Speaker 1: Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown are musts. Yeah. I like these.
Speaker 1: These are lighter traditions. Noel Brian Thomas says, Sleepy Hollow,

Speaker 1: version of the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. So that's the
Speaker 1: animated version. Tell you what I love is Halloween is
Speaker 1: Grinch Night the Dr Seuss swan. I don't know that

Speaker 1: little kid and like The Grinch is like creeking Halloween havoc.
Speaker 1: He's got this like like carriage that he's riding around
Speaker 1: and unleashes all these like ghouls and demons and it's

Speaker 1: Josh Brennan says, The Monster Squad one of my favorite
Speaker 1: movies growing up. So where Wolf's gotten ards, Wolfman's gotten rds,
Speaker 1: that's what he says here. How do you know? Is
Speaker 1: that like the big line? It's a big line, all right,
Speaker 1: I haven't seen that. It's good. I think that my
Speaker 1: buddy Craig here that's been on the show. I think
Speaker 1: that's one of his faces. Clearly owes a lot to
Speaker 1: like the Goonies. Unless I got the chronology wrong, but
Speaker 1: I think it. I think it's after a right, Yeah, boy,
Speaker 1: hookas Pocus all over. The people love that movie. Old
Speaker 1: friend Greta Coney says, Bram Stoker's Dracula, try and watch
Speaker 1: it every year, and of course the Great Pumpkin with
Speaker 1: the kiddos. Yeah, I'm gonna watch that this year. So
Speaker 1: when he's got the ghost costume with the holes in it? Yeah,
Speaker 1: why does he have the holes in it? Is it?
Speaker 1: Is it a pun? Is it meant to be? Or
Speaker 1: is it just remember a sheet with hold? Why did
Speaker 1: he cut hold? No, it's because he kept getting the
Speaker 1: eyes wrong, like or something like that. They're all supposed
Speaker 1: to be the eye holes and he messes, I haven't
Speaker 1: seen it a few years. I don't have any Jean
Speaker 1: Sharp says the Original Halloween. If I'm alone, I have
Speaker 1: to turn the commentary track on. Let's listen to John
Speaker 1: Carpenter and Jamie Lee Curtis discussed the movie, so I
Speaker 1: don't get too freaked out. I never thought about that.
Speaker 1: Imagine that would deaden the scarce a little bit. That's
Speaker 1: also movie. He doesn't have a hell of a lot
Speaker 1: of dialogue. Yeah, so you could do that. You could
Speaker 1: totally do that. And there's a lot of walking around
Speaker 1: Old Friend kirkcastor Original Halloween again, still a classic Rebecca robe.
Speaker 1: The Oldest of Friends has seventies and eighties horror movie
Speaker 1: marathons sprinkled with some newer releases, just to put things

Speaker 1: Silver Bullet, following a read through of Cycle of the Werewolf,
Speaker 1: and not a movie but a listen to the Exorcist
Speaker 1: audio book narrated by William Peter Bladdie. Wow. Interesting, boy,
Speaker 1: that's a tradition and a half. Let me see here.
Speaker 1: Old friend Megan only says, uh, hocus Pocus and apple cider.
Speaker 1: I gotta see that movie. That must be a fun
Speaker 1: kids movie? Is it kids? Though? So I guess it
Speaker 1: could be. It's a comedy and it's definitely a comedy,
Speaker 1: but it's got some it's got some creepy stuff in it.
Speaker 1: I think I think it's PG. I want to say
Speaker 1: it's PG thirteen. Maybe let's see. I'll have to check.
Speaker 1: But I'm with John Hodgman and you as in show
Speaker 1: kids stuff that's like a year or two older than
Speaker 1: they recommend. It's only it's definitely it's a it's a
Speaker 1: dis movie, all right, now, I'm with you on that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and John, maybe we should do that. Then those are
Speaker 1: fun episodes. Now we're fun. Actually, listen when the Last
Speaker 1: Night just for for funzies. Yeah, I enjoyed our oldest
Speaker 1: of Prince Stella at Carlson. I watched scary movies and
Speaker 1: then watch more scary movies and then repeat until the
Speaker 1: next Halloween. Angela Martin Cluck says, always hocus Pocus et Scream,
Speaker 1: I know what you did last summer and Ghostbusters. Old
Speaker 1: friend Tyler King says, at least one year, every afternoon
Speaker 1: in October, I'd watch Ernest Scared Stupid. I never saw
Speaker 1: any of the Ernest movies. I saw some of them
Speaker 1: years and years and years ago. I don't remember anything
Speaker 1: about them. I've never seen more common answers than hocus Pocus. Yeah,
Speaker 1: beloved all over the place. Bette Midler, Yeah, that looks
Speaker 1: really good. All right, we're gonna finish up with Damon
Speaker 1: Tackett with Bubba Hotep and Sean of the Dead. That's
Speaker 1: Bruce from Bruce Campbell. Yeah, exactly, did you see it? No,
Speaker 1: it's really good, you take it for sure? Alright, Noel, Uh,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a shorter episode today, as you know,
Speaker 1: but we're going to finish up here in these last
Speaker 1: seven minutes with the final social Studies of the day,
Speaker 1: which is I asked the peeps out there in movie
Speaker 1: crush land, what is a movie that everyone else thinks
Speaker 1: it's really scary but you do not. Do you have
Speaker 1: one that comes to mind? I think it's Where a
Speaker 1: Witch Project. For me, I never found it particularly scary.
Speaker 1: I thought it was fun. I enjoyed the movie, but
Speaker 1: I did not find it, like you know, Kicking Me
Speaker 1: up Nights scary? Alright? Good answer? Um, jeez, I don't
Speaker 1: really know, because I get scared by scary movies. There
Speaker 1: aren't many where I was like, Nah, I didn't scary.
Speaker 1: I do too. I'm I'm not jaded or whatever. It
Speaker 1: did that one in particular, But uh, I don't know
Speaker 1: what what what do you think, Chuck? That must be one.
Speaker 1: I don't think there is one, really, there must I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'll have to think on it. Our
Speaker 1: old friend Jimmy Cockendal says Exorcist never really had much
Speaker 1: of an effect on me. All right, fair enough? Alicia
Speaker 1: Diets old pal says it chapter one and two found
Speaker 1: them both laughable. The c G I took me out
Speaker 1: of it. Uh. Jenna Moring Sturgis says the Shining had
Speaker 1: hurt so much about it growing up, and I finally
Speaker 1: watched it in my late twenties and thought, that's it. Ah,
Speaker 1: that's unfortunately everyone's uh it didn't say you know, she
Speaker 1: didn't say shouldn't like it. I didn't think it was scary.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's scary either, per se. I think
Speaker 1: it's more of a cool movie. But it doesn't, like
Speaker 1: really scare me. And I guess you could build something
Speaker 1: up in your head to think that, Oh, of course,
Speaker 1: you know, it's something different, a different kind of scary.
Speaker 1: It's also an oddly stylized movie, like there's a certain
Speaker 1: vibe that it has that could be off putting to
Speaker 1: some people. I think, you know, for sure. Christine Tompkins
Speaker 1: says Rosemary's Baby. A few years ago, decided to watch it,
Speaker 1: and I was pretty disappointed. I thought it was boring
Speaker 1: and slow. Yeah, I mean it's a slow burned psychological terrors.
Speaker 1: It's not like straight up um. It depends on what
Speaker 1: scares you. It really does. It really does. Some people
Speaker 1: don't think slasher movies are scary. I mean it's like,
Speaker 1: are you is it jump scares that do it for you?
Speaker 1: Or is it truly troubling that gets in your head now,
Speaker 1: you know you can't stop thinking about it. Renee Sadi
Speaker 1: uh Minnacchino says The Strangers. That was the one with
Speaker 1: the creepy masked stalkers. That was fairly scary. I thought
Speaker 1: it was good. I mean terrifying, which is different than scary.
Speaker 1: Shtellen Carlson says The Exorcist. Didn't even find it scary
Speaker 1: when I saw it as a kid, interesting, I like
Speaker 1: what you're laying down there, stelling. Dan Maynard says The Ring.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it's still considered scary, but almost
Speaker 1: fell asleep when I saw it. I thought it was
Speaker 1: very scary. I the Ring, the American remake, it was
Speaker 1: really scary. There's a lot of extorcystem Rosemary's babies now
Speaker 1: that I'm scrolling through here. Kayla m h says The Exorcists.
Speaker 1: I remember jumping a bit at the stair scene, but
Speaker 1: other than that, I was not freaked. All these people
Speaker 1: are are steely. Exorcist is scary? Isn't it not scary?
Speaker 1: It is? It's it's just very disturbing and upsetting because
Speaker 1: it's all this horrible stuff happening to this cute little
Speaker 1: girl and She's saying all this awful stuff and like,
Speaker 1: you know, doing things with like the crucifix and really, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's just a very brutal movie. All right,
Speaker 1: fair enough, it's on here a lot. Hunter Johnson says,
Speaker 1: the original Halloween movies watch when I was a kid,
Speaker 1: and even then they didn't frighten me too much. Wow,
Speaker 1: all right. Uh. Jackie she Horn says, I really liked
Speaker 1: Hereditary but did not find it scary. Your friend said
Speaker 1: he laughed at it, right, No, I said, I said,
Speaker 1: there were some people in the theater that laughed at
Speaker 1: a couple of moments. Yeah. And do you think it
Speaker 1: was real laughter or that uncomfortable I'm scared, but I'm
Speaker 1: laughing thing. I think it was. It was real laughter
Speaker 1: because there is a part that looks a little goofy
Speaker 1: at the end spoiler sort of a headless body loads
Speaker 1: up into the tree house and it's just a little
Speaker 1: goofy looking. It scared me scared, I know, I did.
Speaker 1: It did me as well in that in that stays
Speaker 1: with you insidious kind of scary way. Yeah. I think
Speaker 1: I'm all in when it comes to this stuff. Like
Speaker 1: when I do go to see a horror movie you
Speaker 1: give yourself to. I'm not like, well, let me see
Speaker 1: what this is gooding for me? But what more fun
Speaker 1: that way? You know? I think so. Sarah Lenburg says
Speaker 1: the Saw movies cringey but not scary. Uh Sarah waitam
Speaker 1: to tour. Burt says, don't look now. Donald Sutherland A
Speaker 1: Dwarf is a terrifying movie. That is an upsetting and
Speaker 1: not okay movie. Matthew A. Trotta says Scream wasn't hard
Speaker 1: to see past the deflection and figure out who the
Speaker 1: killers were. I didn't see it coming. Maybe I'm a
Speaker 1: dumb dumb let me see here. Samantha Deaton says, not
Speaker 1: so much now. But when Paranormal Activity came out, everyone
Speaker 1: was so hype and it just wasn't scary to me
Speaker 1: at all. Kelly Conklin, old friend says the conjuring. Matthew
Speaker 1: Alex says the Blair Witch Project I was cracking up
Speaker 1: in the theater. I mean, I have a feeling to
Speaker 1: you that if you watch The Blair Witch Project now,
Speaker 1: it'd be extra because it's been made fun of so
Speaker 1: much and like kind of lampooned and sort of parodied.
Speaker 1: I guess that it probably wouldn't hold up nearly as much,
Speaker 1: but I was never super onboard from the start, right,
Speaker 1: Matt Winchip's Conjuring is scary the Conjuring. I think the
Speaker 1: Conjuring is very scary, he said. I thought it was good,
Speaker 1: just not scary, and some definitely some scary bits, Amanda
Speaker 1: Patterson says. Psycho and Exorcist Katie Rowland says insidious, just
Speaker 1: all of it. I don't get it. Everyone keeps trying
Speaker 1: to get me to watch it again. All right. Christen
Speaker 1: George says it follows put me to sleep. I loved
Speaker 1: it follows again. I don't know that that'll scary. There's
Speaker 1: some parts that are pretty unexpected and kind of scary.
Speaker 1: I think it's a great movie. Is that person done
Speaker 1: anything else yet? I don't think so. Then you look
Speaker 1: that up? Is there maybe a sequel? Alishing? It still
Speaker 1: follows Plishing Couch says I'm scared of them all. I'm
Speaker 1: with you, so does Jade, Right, all of them? Um
Speaker 1: let me see here. Russ Dolan says, saw Lee Daly
Speaker 1: says the Shining as boring crap? What all right, Lee?
Speaker 1: I guess to eat their own but boring crap it's
Speaker 1: a little harsh, bro, little harsh Jeff Clark, our old Friends,
Speaker 1: Nightmare on Elm Street, beyond lame. Interesting. Well, I guess
Speaker 1: you never know, noll. I guess maybe I'm not as
Speaker 1: tough as I thought I was. No, what whatever, man,
Speaker 1: it's it's like you said, Jesus that follow This guy
Speaker 1: did a movie I remember now. It's called Under the
Speaker 1: Silver Lake with uh Garfield. We played spider Man. Was
Speaker 1: the first name, James Garf, James Garfield, and James Garfield
Speaker 1: was a president. Yeah. No, it's it looked like a
Speaker 1: kind of a noir, almost detective E type mystery. I
Speaker 1: think I know them, not a horror at all. And
Speaker 1: it kind of came and went. But um, I heard,
Speaker 1: I heard it's really cool. That was after after it follows. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a little looks like a small kind of indie,
Speaker 1: you know, noir and kind of movie. It looks really cool.
Speaker 1: I want to see it. I'll check it out. Alright, everyone,
Speaker 1: That was a bit of a short one because we
Speaker 1: realized that we had a double booked our studio, so
Speaker 1: they're kicking us out. All apologies, but we'll be back
Speaker 1: next week with more Halloween content. Thank you, no, thank you, Chuck.
