Speaker 1: Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, and welcome to Movie Crush. If you hear
Speaker 1: weird sounds, do you hear that? Well, there's weird sounds
Speaker 1: on my end too. It sounds like you hear that
Speaker 1: sounds like a seal? Oh no, you what is that? Well?
Speaker 1: We have across the street there was a water main
Speaker 1: that burst and they're out there working on it. So
Speaker 1: I think my pipes are just making noises. I have
Speaker 1: a small child making noises, and those baby noises and
Speaker 1: old I love it. Ye, give me more, I got him,
Speaker 1: Give me crying, give me coop ing, give me all
Speaker 1: that good. She's about to be three. She's not a
Speaker 1: fully baby town. She's a delight. I think I've talked
Speaker 1: about this. My daughter has a sort of like a
Speaker 1: work day on Wednesdays to do homework and outdoor activities
Speaker 1: and stuff and um my ex uh and dear friend
Speaker 1: is um in a work transition thing where she's having
Speaker 1: to work on Wednesday. So my daughter watches her baby
Speaker 1: sister on Wednesdays now while I'm working, and then when
Speaker 1: I'm off, I kind of go out and hang with
Speaker 1: them and we eat lunch and stuff. But it's really
Speaker 1: really sweet. I kind of forgot what what I really
Speaker 1: like little kids. Little kids are the best, all right. No,
Speaker 1: we're short on time, so we're gonna get cranking here.
Speaker 1: This is our final spooky mini crush of the season.
Speaker 1: We're going to wrap it up with some Halloween horror
Speaker 1: content and we'll see how much time we have here.
Speaker 1: I definitely have time for two segments, or you have time,
Speaker 1: but uh, let's just go ahead and dive in. I
Speaker 1: asked the movie crusher is very plainly nol. I want
Speaker 1: to know about a scene or a movie in general
Speaker 1: that truly disturbed you, like way beyond scared, movie that
Speaker 1: really got under your skin in a in a disturbing way.
Speaker 1: And I'll let you think on your answer while I
Speaker 1: go with jennevan Valen the original pet Cemetery. Old man
Speaker 1: gets down on his hands and knees to look under
Speaker 1: some furniture. Little kid slices through his heel with a blade.
Speaker 1: Makes me cleasy just remembering it. I haven't watched it
Speaker 1: since I was a teenager, and I still can't shake it.
Speaker 1: And Jenna got the most uplis and hearts and replies, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: she said the heel makes me gag, and I never gag,
Speaker 1: is what Jenna follows up with. It's also a close up,
Speaker 1: like you just it's just it's that, it's that that tendon,
Speaker 1: it would like disconnect so much shit in your body
Speaker 1: that would just render you like jelly like or something,
Speaker 1: you know. And then he falls down and then the
Speaker 1: little kid choose his throat out. And I just saw
Speaker 1: that movie way too young, way too young, uh and
Speaker 1: it really messed me up. Uh LEA Mitchell come in
Speaker 1: and said that I'd never let my feet dangle when
Speaker 1: I'm on the bed for this exact exact reason. Not
Speaker 1: about to get cut by a baby zombie. Alright. One
Speaker 1: of our old friends, Austin Handler, says, it's not a
Speaker 1: horror movie, but Pink Floyd's the Wall when I was
Speaker 1: in high school, fucking terrified me. Even thinking about the
Speaker 1: music and the vocals from the courtroom scene still gives
Speaker 1: me Willie's thirty years later. That's such a cool scene
Speaker 1: and that that piece it's called the trial good morning,
Speaker 1: Yes exactly, it's so good. Like the judge looks like
Speaker 1: a giant butthole kind of you know, like very much.
Speaker 1: It's intense, man, Gerald Scarf animation on that is it's
Speaker 1: next level weird. Tyler Peters says, when I was young,
Speaker 1: the scene that truly horrified me was the beatle crawls
Speaker 1: under the guy's skin and the mummy had nightmares for
Speaker 1: years about that one interesting, not when I think of
Speaker 1: as like a super shocker, because it's sort of a PG. Thirteen,
Speaker 1: but that that is a little creepy. A lot of
Speaker 1: people have bug a versions too. I could see that.
Speaker 1: Old friend Caroline Emily says everything about the Doppelgangers characters
Speaker 1: in US uh specifically, I never know how to pronounce
Speaker 1: her last name Lupida. Is it Niano niongo? I believe yes,
Speaker 1: her voice right. Yeah, she says that her Doppelganger character
Speaker 1: had nightmares for a week. Yeah, she was creepy. I
Speaker 1: mean all of the doop Doppelgangers were good, but their
Speaker 1: movements in the way they kind of handled themselves as
Speaker 1: all very well done. I like that movie. I thought
Speaker 1: it was good. I liked it too. I think it
Speaker 1: got unfairly slagged because it wasn't to get out at all.
Speaker 1: It was a little it was it was different in
Speaker 1: the in where it went, and I thought it was.
Speaker 1: I thought it was a lot of fun and scary.
Speaker 1: It felt like a Twilight Zone episode in terms of
Speaker 1: the twist, you know what I mean. But I loved it.
Speaker 1: I very enjoyed it well. And now that we know
Speaker 1: a little bit of his background and he's doing the
Speaker 1: Twilight Zone, now that he's clearly like a fan of
Speaker 1: that kind of uh, that genre, which I am as well,
Speaker 1: very old school been at Duckworth was disturbed about the
Speaker 1: dead baby and train spotting. Uh, And haven't viewed it since,
Speaker 1: And now that I'm a parent, I don't plan to.
Speaker 1: Probably a good idea been it that was fucked up? Chuck.
Speaker 1: We've talked about stuff where you're you kind of turn
Speaker 1: a little bit when you become a parent for things
Speaker 1: that maybe you were okay with or could have given
Speaker 1: a past too. Now it's sort of like off the table. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean absolutely, Uh. Josh and I did an episode
Speaker 1: on a on a disappearance and stuff you should know
Speaker 1: of a of a young girl that we had. I
Speaker 1: didn't want to do it. I didn't want to do it,
Speaker 1: and I did it anyway, and I was pretty not
Speaker 1: into that episode. And it's pretty clear, I think afterward
Speaker 1: because We even had people that wrote in and said, Chuck,
Speaker 1: you clearly weren't into that episode. Why did you do it? Um?
Speaker 1: So that wasn't my best effort. I should have risen
Speaker 1: above it. But it's about a girl who disappeared, and
Speaker 1: then I have a really hard time with that stuff.
Speaker 1: Now we not that that's great. Oh well what I
Speaker 1: imagine really totally Yeah, as as you can imagine with
Speaker 1: stuff that I want you to know. We do all
Speaker 1: kinds of grizzly stuff like that. And we recently did
Speaker 1: an episode about a child murder in Europe and it was,
Speaker 1: you know, the guy they've found to have done it
Speaker 1: ended up having like all of these crazy polaroids of
Speaker 1: children like in his van, and it was just I
Speaker 1: had to stop midway through and kind of collect myself
Speaker 1: a few times. So yeah, it's tough. Uh. Emily Simon
Speaker 1: says this movie is not well known, but the woman
Speaker 1: very disturbing and creepy film, more psychological horror than supernatural.
Speaker 1: I think it's worth a watch if you're interested in
Speaker 1: something outside the box, but fair warning, it's pretty gory.
Speaker 1: And Danny Michael commented and said, Emily that movie is
Speaker 1: fucking bonkers. The woman. Yeah. I think it's about like
Speaker 1: a a feral woman that's kept in like chained in
Speaker 1: a basement or something like interesting. That's like Stormton's you know,
Speaker 1: insane kind of thing, you know. Yeah, yeah, do you
Speaker 1: hear that ceiling here? Huh? Oh, my goodness, do you
Speaker 1: hear that? I do. I actually don't hear it on
Speaker 1: my end because I have the HIG headphones kind of
Speaker 1: low that the listeners will hear it. A little treat
Speaker 1: for you real life everyone. Uh and a Sir Jon
Speaker 1: or Sir Jean says the bathtub scene from Nightmare on
Speaker 1: Elm Street, I only caught part of the movie. Is
Speaker 1: a young kid, I can only take showers for several
Speaker 1: years after seeing that. But then you got Psycho fucking
Speaker 1: you up? So what are you just gonna not bathe?
Speaker 1: Bathtubs are ruined? Showers are ruined. I used to be
Speaker 1: scared there was a shark in the pool. Yeah, when
Speaker 1: I was a kid. That's pretty common. It's that vulnerability,
Speaker 1: something about the water and the unseen thing beneath the
Speaker 1: surface that that would be triggering and make you feel
Speaker 1: really vulnerable. For sure. I can what kind of pools
Speaker 1: are you swimming? Well? No, not in the pool situation,
Speaker 1: but definitely in the bathtub or the ocean. You know,
Speaker 1: like the ocean has always kind of freaked me out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people get freaked out by
Speaker 1: the ocean. I love swimming in the ocean, but when
Speaker 1: you're swimming in the ocean and something bumps up against you,
Speaker 1: always a little bit like, uh, I swim Lake Studental.
Speaker 1: I'll swim in anything Chuck likes to swim. I just
Speaker 1: like getting in bodies of water, natural bodies of water,
Speaker 1: no matter how cold they are. It's exhilarating. It's like
Speaker 1: the guy in My Octopus teacher is free diving and
Speaker 1: without a wetsuit and very very cold water. And he said,
Speaker 1: there's something that happens after a couple of minutes, your
Speaker 1: body adjusts and then it becomes a different thing entirely.
Speaker 1: And I totally agree. You just gotta get through that
Speaker 1: initial blast of cold. Uh. Keith Workman says I could
Speaker 1: not handle the scene where Tony Collette was banging her
Speaker 1: head against the ceiling and hereditary. I thought I was
Speaker 1: going to have a heart attack. I was genuinely concerned
Speaker 1: for my health. That's interesting, and I know that a
Speaker 1: lot of people had very visceral reactions to that movie,
Speaker 1: and I did, certainly. We've talked about it because of
Speaker 1: the child angle. Not to spoil anything, but there is
Speaker 1: something about that animalistic performance that she gives in that
Speaker 1: film that is just very uh, it gets you somewhere deep. Yes, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure. Our old friend Amanda Caron says the opening
Speaker 1: scene with the parents in midsummer to build up and
Speaker 1: seeing the sister truly disturbing. You know what, No, I know,
Speaker 1: you and I both kind of agree about that movie.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give it another go soon. I'm gonna give
Speaker 1: it a shot and see what I think, because I've
Speaker 1: heard other people say I didn't love it the first time,
Speaker 1: but I really liked it better the second time. I
Speaker 1: would also like to do that. And again, I think Chuck,
Speaker 1: we didn't like hate it, No, we we just there
Speaker 1: was some parts about it that we're left us a
Speaker 1: little cold. But I think we both had things about
Speaker 1: it that we liked for sure. Yeah, and I might
Speaker 1: even be down even though I had problems with the
Speaker 1: link with that director's cut if it's out, because I
Speaker 1: don't know. I usually think director's cuts are the way
Speaker 1: to go, so I'll give it a shot. Joshua Lagunas
Speaker 1: is right on the money. No, well, when he says
Speaker 1: the scene from Bone Tomahawk one of those moments where
Speaker 1: you think, certainly they won't show it, and they did.
Speaker 1: I won't spoil it. If you haven't seen that movie.
Speaker 1: It's a great, great movie and a fucked up scene.
Speaker 1: I've seen the scene in question just as a YouTube pool.
Speaker 1: You haven't seen the movie. I haven't seen the whole movie,
Speaker 1: but the movie is great. Yeah, that's what I hear.
Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's tough and yeah, I guess is that
Speaker 1: on YouTube the scene is. Yeah, the just type in
Speaker 1: if you want, just type in Bone Up Tomahawk scene scene,
Speaker 1: it's the one that's. Sean McFarland, top fan of Old Pal, says,
Speaker 1: the tape that is circulated in the movie The Ring,
Speaker 1: it's totally fucked me up. Nothing really scary, just incredibly
Speaker 1: creepy and disturbing. When the woman in the tape locks
Speaker 1: eyes with you, my god, it gave me chills. It's
Speaker 1: well done, very well done. Yeah, a movie back in
Speaker 1: the day, and that was one that was one of
Speaker 1: the rare examples where like an American remake of a
Speaker 1: Japanese horror was actually better than the original. Typically I
Speaker 1: don't find that to be the case, but the original
Speaker 1: Ring Goo is okay, but the remake is like it
Speaker 1: kind of takes it to the next level in my opinion. Yeah, uh,
Speaker 1: new pal, Welcome to the show. Matt des Barbo. He
Speaker 1: says something about the movie The Strangers where he pushes
Speaker 1: that knife so slowly into one victim that's tied up.
Speaker 1: Didn't like that one bit. Yeah, a very slow That
Speaker 1: was a very slow stabbing in ex Machina as well.
Speaker 1: That was very effective. And stabbings get me, I know
Speaker 1: they get you, they do, and the slow one in particular.
Speaker 1: I was watching a follow a bunch of schlocky horror
Speaker 1: type pages on Instagram, and there's one movie called Curtains
Speaker 1: from like the eighties. I know that movie. I didn't
Speaker 1: see it, but I know it. I saw a trailer
Speaker 1: for it and there's a there's a slow stabbing just
Speaker 1: in the trailer, and it gave me the willies for sure. Yeah. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: Dogs are now barking at the workers sealas squeaking it happens.
Speaker 1: This is really great. We're working live here folks. Uh,
Speaker 1: let me see here. Leonard Countryman, great name, says sinister.
Speaker 1: When the kid starts them ower and runs through the
Speaker 1: rain in the dark and his parents heads are sticking
Speaker 1: out of the ground gets me every time. The Bully, Well,
Speaker 1: there are spoilers in here. I guess we should have
Speaker 1: said that at the beginning, but surely people know we're
Speaker 1: talking about specific movie scenes. Yeah. Uh. Michelle Kendrick says this, No,
Speaker 1: the movie Don't Breathe and the Turkey Baster. I didn't
Speaker 1: foresee that twist, and I thought about it for a
Speaker 1: few days afterward. Let's just leave it at that. Did
Speaker 1: I see that? Was that the one where they break
Speaker 1: into the House of the Blind Man? Yeah? I thought
Speaker 1: that was a pretty well done. It was great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was really good. I liked it. Who was that?
Speaker 1: That was the dude who did the The Evil Dead remake? Right?
Speaker 1: I think that's right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, he'll be doing
Speaker 1: something again soon. There's so many great new horror film
Speaker 1: directors and noll uh new masters, from Ari Astor to
Speaker 1: Robert Egger's you might throw in the horror genre and
Speaker 1: Jennifer Kent, my god, who did the Baba Duke One?
Speaker 1: Of the scariest movies I've ever seen, really great, great
Speaker 1: people work in a minute since the Baba Duke, has
Speaker 1: she's done anything since? I don't think so. And you
Speaker 1: know what I haven't seen is, uh The Nightingale, which
Speaker 1: is another movie that she did, which is supposed to
Speaker 1: be really scary, but I have not seen that one yet.
Speaker 1: I think it's so interesting when like it's someone picks
Speaker 1: a genre so specifically like that, you know, as a
Speaker 1: as a new filmmaker. Yeah, I mean it makes sense.
Speaker 1: I guess that, you know, people get obsessed with genres
Speaker 1: and stuff. But um, I did think it was interesting
Speaker 1: that Ari astir So sort of didn't choose horror. He
Speaker 1: just sort of like decided to pivot the script that
Speaker 1: he'd already written into horror, and now he's sort of
Speaker 1: this horror guy. But I wonder if he'll stick with
Speaker 1: that or if I'll just like do like a period
Speaker 1: piece or something that's not horror at all. Maybe Actually
Speaker 1: Nightingale was after Bob a Duke, set in the penal
Speaker 1: colony of Van Demon's Land present day Tasmania. A young
Speaker 1: female convict seeking revenge for a terrible act of violence
Speaker 1: committed against her family. Oh I'm gonna see that one.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, I didn't know she had to follow up.
Speaker 1: Yeah that sounds great. Yeah, way down, way down with that.
Speaker 1: Uh let me see here another vote for pet Cemetery.
Speaker 1: H Alia Ferrier says, I will be forever afraid of
Speaker 1: my kids near any kind of road thanks to pet Cemetery. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's kind of how it opens up, right, it is. Well,
Speaker 1: now the road is like that's the whole big twist
Speaker 1: where not the twist, but like the it's a big crusher. Uh.
Speaker 1: That that leads to some of the action of the movie.
Speaker 1: But uh Fred Gwynn, who plays don't go in there,
Speaker 1: don't go into the road, loss, don't go on to
Speaker 1: the road loss. Uh. Sam comber Old Pal says seven
Speaker 1: when they find Sloth tied to the bed, skin and bones,
Speaker 1: mouth open, teeth exposed, presumably dead for a while but
Speaker 1: spoiler alert, spoiler alert, nope, gasp for air and he's alive. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was pretty pretty creepy moment. Seven was Seven was
Speaker 1: a good movie. I liked it, great movie. I haven't
Speaker 1: seen it in a long time, But I ain't feeling
Speaker 1: that it holds up because it was so It was
Speaker 1: such a like edgier version of the types of thrillers
Speaker 1: that were out there. Was there was a big run
Speaker 1: on creepy serial killer game type movies, you know, where
Speaker 1: there's like a cat and mouse thing, but that one
Speaker 1: really took it to the next level. I think, yeah, yeah, totally. Uh.
Speaker 1: Nathan ven Zeal says top fan in Old Pal says
Speaker 1: the scene from One Hour Photo that it's revealed that
Speaker 1: Robin Williams has been keeping the families pictures for a
Speaker 1: very long time. The pan up to the wall is
Speaker 1: truly unsettling. That was pretty good movie. It was Yeah,
Speaker 1: nice little creepy indie. UM appreciated Robin Williams being willing
Speaker 1: to go that route, knowing that he was sort of
Speaker 1: this beloved comedic goofy guy and the need he certainly
Speaker 1: had some some range. Yeah, absolutely, alright. P Marty Willis
Speaker 1: says this Welcome to the show, Marty. The decapitation scene
Speaker 1: in high tension. I think it was within the first
Speaker 1: five minutes too. Yeah, did you see that in al Uh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it wasn't it with like a band saw or something,
Speaker 1: or like a like a buzz saw or was it
Speaker 1: a wire? I don't remember I did see the movie,
Speaker 1: but um, it was, it was. It's a great movie.
Speaker 1: It hasn't come up yet, Chuck, but it's it's certainly been.
Speaker 1: It was a topic on the Crushers page. I don't
Speaker 1: remember what context I referenced it, but we were talking
Speaker 1: about the movie Audition Sure at Takashi mik movie. That's that's.
Speaker 1: That's that for me, because the movie just shifts so
Speaker 1: hard from this one thing to this other really intensely
Speaker 1: severe kind of traumatic horror that it catches you off
Speaker 1: guard and you're not prepared for what you're about to see.
Speaker 1: And there's a scene of dismemberment that is so creepy
Speaker 1: and uh, subverting the typical rolls of what you would
Speaker 1: think of as being like a torturer and the torture e.
Speaker 1: And it's done with this gentleness that makes you just
Speaker 1: want to die. The woman that's doing it, he's saying
Speaker 1: like deep deep deep deep deep deep deep deep deep.
Speaker 1: Oh I got But some people were talking about on
Speaker 1: the Crushers page. Somebody was like, what did you make
Speaker 1: me watch? Nol. Yeah, it's a good movie. Now. That
Speaker 1: one made me get up and walk out of the room.
Speaker 1: When I first saw it. Yeah, all right, let's finish
Speaker 1: up with this. Wesley Doyle the Nightingale, Uh, speaking of
Speaker 1: and for Kent Boom, he just says the baby scene.
Speaker 1: Won't even describe it, so, oh my god, I don't
Speaker 1: know that's I did want to see it, but be
Speaker 1: on the lookout for a baby scene. Baby stuff is tough.
Speaker 1: All right. Now we're gonna move on to our second
Speaker 1: and probably final segment here. Um. I wanted to know
Speaker 1: what people think is the best overall horror franchise as
Speaker 1: a whole, And you've got to include everything, all iterations, remakes, reboots, sequels.
Speaker 1: You can't say, like, well, the original Friday thirteenth, but
Speaker 1: I didn't like the remakes. I want to know what
Speaker 1: people think is the best all time horror movie franchise.
Speaker 1: Do you have one? You know? I'm not so much
Speaker 1: a franchise guy. Like, I mean, I think some of
Speaker 1: them are fun, Texas Chainsaws fun, but the first one
Speaker 1: is its own thing and then the rest of them
Speaker 1: are kind of become something else. Same with Nightmare in
Speaker 1: Elm Street, Like the first one is genuinely pretty scary,
Speaker 1: and the rest of them pivot to be in this
Speaker 1: kind of like goofy one liner Freddie making dark humor
Speaker 1: jokes and stuff. It's tough for them to hold up.
Speaker 1: And it doesn't have to be a huge like it
Speaker 1: can be like a two or three movie run and
Speaker 1: that counts as a franchise, you know. But I think
Speaker 1: with Horror, they they know they can print money, so
Speaker 1: they just keep keep going till they get bad, and
Speaker 1: then they reboot them and those may not be great,
Speaker 1: but you know what, I'm gonna go with nol I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go with Halloween because the original Halloween's were really good.
Speaker 1: The season of the which was really interesting kind of
Speaker 1: through modern eyes, odd choice, but very does hold up
Speaker 1: in an interesting way. I think the rob zombie stuff
Speaker 1: was okay, and then I think the reboot that they
Speaker 1: just recently did was really good. So as a big package,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Halloween. I mean, this is maybe
Speaker 1: too Satira call are on the comedy side, but Evil
Speaker 1: Dead all of those well yeah that's sort of a
Speaker 1: different animal kind of you know. Yeah, but you're right,
Speaker 1: those are all great. And even though I didn't watch
Speaker 1: I only watched a few episodes of the TV show,
Speaker 1: I enjoyed that. I just sort of fell away from it.
Speaker 1: It happens, but we're gonna start out with our oldest
Speaker 1: of friends, the wonderful and win some Stellin Carlson, he says,
Speaker 1: I would say hell Raiser because even the lesser sequels
Speaker 1: treat the franchise with some respect, i e. They don't
Speaker 1: turn the villain into a cartoon character. I'm looking at you,
Speaker 1: Freddie and Chucky, but I'm by since we baldise with
Speaker 1: one thousand needles on our faces, got to stick together.
Speaker 1: So Stelen is uh as many many piercings and uh
Speaker 1: on his beautiful face. And uh, that's very funny, Stellen,
Speaker 1: I love it. You gotta stick together, Uh, Lennya Barnett's
Speaker 1: one of our old palaces, final destination and I will
Speaker 1: die on this hill. First one is a truly great
Speaker 1: horror movie, but with every sequel it gets goofier and
Speaker 1: more over the top. Uh, And I just love them
Speaker 1: so much. Yeah, I think there's something to be said
Speaker 1: for that. I haven't seen those movies, but I like
Speaker 1: if it's I think that's the direction you can go
Speaker 1: in horror and still maintain your integrity. Is just to
Speaker 1: get goofy and weird and fun you know, absolutely, yeah, no.
Speaker 1: And then that's the thing, Like I mean, we were
Speaker 1: talking about Evil Dead. The first one, you know, there's
Speaker 1: this can be debated, but the first one I think
Speaker 1: was trying to be a genuinely scary movie, and then
Speaker 1: they realized that what made it succeed was the fact
Speaker 1: that there were parts of it that were kind of
Speaker 1: over the top and goofy, and then they really leaned
Speaker 1: into that for for two and three, and that's what
Speaker 1: makes us love it. I think two is people's favorite.
Speaker 1: One is sort of like an afterthought. Three is probably
Speaker 1: second favorite. Yeah, love Army and Darkness. And Matt Beaman
Speaker 1: chimes in, Thanks Matt for saying Evil Dead hands down.
Speaker 1: Love all the movies, even the reboot for being a
Speaker 1: reboot and not a retread. Even the TV series is great.
Speaker 1: I did not see the reboot, the one we were
Speaker 1: just talking about, I did not see that. Now that's again,
Speaker 1: that's that's them trying to make it real scary, right
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah. Uh. Sean McFarlane, one of our oldest
Speaker 1: of friends, says, I really love the Soul movies. Another
Speaker 1: latter sequels went off the rails a bit, but I'll
Speaker 1: of how inventive. The Murder Contraptions were. That's why, that's
Speaker 1: the only reason anybody ever cares about those movies, Like,
Speaker 1: what what are they gonna come up with this time?
Speaker 1: You know? The first one, I think genuinely has a
Speaker 1: cool twist and there's a cool story, and then it
Speaker 1: just becomes the Murder Machines the movie. Yeah, Ian Bowers
Speaker 1: always chimes in with Evil Dead by the way. Eve
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Lee, one of our top fans and old pal,
Speaker 1: says The Exorcist. Yeah, the second one is coofy, but
Speaker 1: the awesomeness of the other to cancel it out. Nothing
Speaker 1: for real, nothing creeps me out like Mercedes mccambridge's voice.
Speaker 1: Some great acting in the third one to Brad Dorriff
Speaker 1: motherfucking George C. Scott. Yeah, I knew we could. A
Speaker 1: vote for Nightmare the Nightmare series. Cat gim Bruno says,
Speaker 1: Nightmare on Elm Street. The third movie, Dream Warriors has
Speaker 1: a dock and song beat that other franchises. That's true
Speaker 1: with the Dream Warriors. Oh, custom for the movie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't know that's last No, no, not at all. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was custom for the movie. That's amazing. Another vote
Speaker 1: for Evil Dead from Joshua Edman, but he also says
Speaker 1: this for pure horror, the ring pretty much helped. UH
Speaker 1: is pretty much the gold standard. Despite the most recent
Speaker 1: entry in the American franchise, are they still making those?
Speaker 1: I guess it's been a minute. I didn't think there
Speaker 1: were more than two, but maybe there are. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Uh they could be doing straight to UH V O
Speaker 1: D type of things now, you know. Maddie Baldwin says,
Speaker 1: I love all things Scream. The slight comedic tone combined
Speaker 1: with the slasher movie is just perfect. And yes, I
Speaker 1: love all the sequels. Yeah, the screen movies are pretty good.
Speaker 1: Michael Ormond agrees Scream might have gone off the rails
Speaker 1: a little bit, but the Scream series was always great. Yeah. Again,
Speaker 1: though that's like that that's that's it's so meta. It's
Speaker 1: like it's it's definitely satire. At least the first one
Speaker 1: super hardcore, and then after that it becomes like a
Speaker 1: cash in. But you like the second one, I believe
Speaker 1: quite well. Yeah, Scream too was fine, and then the
Speaker 1: third the most seemed forgettable. But the first one is
Speaker 1: just it was very unique at the time. Where's any
Speaker 1: race when we need her. Oh God, yeah, uh, here
Speaker 1: we go. Someone agrees. Nathan L. Rombolski says the Halloween
Speaker 1: franchise a couple of duds and some complicated timelines, but
Speaker 1: the series holds up. I agree. Probably helps that I'm
Speaker 1: in the process of an October rewatch of all of them.
Speaker 1: It's fun to revisit these movies every year, and didn't
Speaker 1: all it is. I I don't have too too much
Speaker 1: nostalgia for that kind of stuff. I'm more like to
Speaker 1: discover new things. I know a lot of people like
Speaker 1: do these, you know, rewatches around this time of year. Um,
Speaker 1: but it's definitely I also like watching just like garbage,
Speaker 1: schlock ones like Phantasm and uh, you know, the Puppet Master,
Speaker 1: things like that. I'm a big fan of that stuff. Yeah. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: I'm watching for Friday, and I think that this will
Speaker 1: be Yeah, just had come out before this is released.
Speaker 1: But Return of the Living Dead a movie you haven't
Speaker 1: seen before with a great Joe Garden. We're going to
Speaker 1: talk about that one tomorrow. The Mall one, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it. Kenneth Hannon. One of our old
Speaker 1: palace is the Universal monster movies of the thirties and
Speaker 1: the forties. He said it counts as a franchise because
Speaker 1: they tied it all together and Abbott Costello meet Frankenstein. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll buy that. Steve Devris agrees about Final Destination franchise
Speaker 1: took a turn that was so delightful and goofy. I
Speaker 1: need to see those at some point. I guess a
Speaker 1: lot of Evil Dead fans in here. Good good. I'm
Speaker 1: glad I wasn't off base and including that. It's weird
Speaker 1: like it's like I said, it's not pure horror, but
Speaker 1: it's it's got horror. It's definitely horror. Yeah. But yeah,
Speaker 1: our old pal the danger of and Gail Kuntz says, stupid,
Speaker 1: obvious choice put the Halloween franchise. I said that too, Gale.
Speaker 1: Does some of them suck major butthole? Oh, Coon's what
Speaker 1: are you doing? Such filthy language. I'm gonna send me
Speaker 1: some soap, some Emily soap, put in your mouth. Sure
Speaker 1: they suck major butth hole, she says, But for me,
Speaker 1: it's an ultimate must watch, all of them. Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 1: I'm just giving you a hard time. Boys, screaming Evil
Speaker 1: Dead are winning the day all in a big way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because it's because of the consistency of the quality. In
Speaker 1: my opinion, I think that's why my mind went to
Speaker 1: Evil Dead because so many of these, like oh, the
Speaker 1: first two are cool, but a lot of times the
Speaker 1: second one of a big hit first movie sucks because
Speaker 1: they ram it through like they try to make it
Speaker 1: like Jaws too. Not good, you know, because they just
Speaker 1: tried to ram it through Jaws one obviously class. Yeah.
Speaker 1: What I haven't seen in here yet is a Friday
Speaker 1: because those are so wildly all over the place. No
Speaker 1: one's down with the us. Even the first one not
Speaker 1: like a great movie, you know, not it's it's definitely
Speaker 1: a b to Halloween's a you know. And I think
Speaker 1: part two was. I mean, I think Friday the thirteenth.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen them all. This is where we need
Speaker 1: like Joe, uh Joe in here. But and Ramsey I
Speaker 1: think has seen all those. But I think the first
Speaker 1: like three or four of those were pretty good. Robert
Speaker 1: Paulson One of the World FRIENDSS Dracula is always great,
Speaker 1: even camp. No, it's not a series, but the booking
Speaker 1: character has been done so many times. Yeah, that's I'd
Speaker 1: say that counts. Paulson, Anna our old friend and a
Speaker 1: shress says, people are saying conjuring, and I have to
Speaker 1: agree it gets a little too sentimental times in the
Speaker 1: endings are kind of meth. But overall solid and scary movies.
Speaker 1: I don't I think I might have seen the first conjuring.
Speaker 1: Is that Lily Taylor the actor? Yes, I don't know
Speaker 1: her super well, um, but I really enjoyed it. Someone
Speaker 1: was asking on the Crushers page about horror movies to
Speaker 1: watch with like a youngster that's trying to get into horror,
Speaker 1: and I think I recommended that only because it's PG thirteen,
Speaker 1: But so many of those PG thirteens are still damn scary. Uh,
Speaker 1: and probably not for for the youth always, But yeah,
Speaker 1: really great. Great one conjuring was not Lily Taylor, by
Speaker 1: the way. That was that. Other one conjuring was Vera
Speaker 1: patrick asnevera for Mega. I think I did see the conjuring.
Speaker 1: Oh no, she isn't it. Sorry Lily Taylor. Stop screaming
Speaker 1: at your radios. Everyone, your transistor radios. Uh. Jesse Groom
Speaker 1: says the Child's play movies. Joshua Ramsey agrees with Stelen
Speaker 1: says hell Razor. Yes, I even enjoyed the later Crummy
Speaker 1: Ones Guilty Pleasure. Oh here we go r old pile
Speaker 1: Zack Pointer says Friday because of the campiness of it all.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I knew someone would would get in there
Speaker 1: at some point. Charles Ogan says, the Living Dead movies
Speaker 1: all have something good in them. Let me see the Hangover.
Speaker 1: Oh come on? Uh leny h Kella Marris is the
Speaker 1: IT franchise? Okay, interesting, I guess that would count the
Speaker 1: the TV the Tim Curry version. Yeah, for counting all iterations,
Speaker 1: which you thought was silly, right. Well, that being said,
Speaker 1: I think I've also talked about the fact that when
Speaker 1: I was a kid, it kept me up nights, like
Speaker 1: it absolutely wrecked me. But I rewatched it with my
Speaker 1: daughter a couple of years ago, and it just does
Speaker 1: not hold up. She thought it was comical, like she's
Speaker 1: just literally laughing and pointing at the screen the whole time,
Speaker 1: and there's nothing even remotely scary about it. Um, it
Speaker 1: just does didn't age well. But I don't know, do
Speaker 1: you consider that part of the Yeah, I guess it's
Speaker 1: a reboot. Well, I mean, I said all iterations must
Speaker 1: be counted, that's right. You cannot two of the new
Speaker 1: one was just so messy, so messy, it felt very
Speaker 1: rushed through, and uh, I didn't really hate it, but
Speaker 1: it was also kind of like, Okay, let's get to
Speaker 1: the point. I still haven't seen that. Yeah, the one
Speaker 1: with the kids. The first one was was fun and
Speaker 1: pretty well done in my opinion, but the second one
Speaker 1: was just a bit of a slog I guess I
Speaker 1: have to see it, don't I? Yeah, you have to.
Speaker 1: It's required Another vote for a Friday thirteenth from Steiner.
Speaker 1: Christopher Steiner, one of our old friends, says ranges from
Speaker 1: horror to comedy. Some of them are very laughable. I
Speaker 1: think if you have fun with it, then you know,
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be the scariest in the world. Steven
Speaker 1: Stephen Crabtree, one of our top fans, says Mr Vampire
Speaker 1: Hong Kong's premier hopping vampire film series that culminated in
Speaker 1: God's must be Crazy crossover. What I've never heard this? No,
Speaker 1: that sounds why this exists? That's what he said, Mr Vampire.
Speaker 1: How can I cross over with the gods? Must be crazy?
Speaker 1: That is crazy? This is the point. The producers must
Speaker 1: be crazy. Um yeah, I've never even seen that Gods
Speaker 1: Must Be Crazy? Is that the one? Like? What is
Speaker 1: this sort of like a faux documentary kind of or
Speaker 1: Gods Must Be Crazy was a very small movie in
Speaker 1: the eighties. I want to say where I think, like
Speaker 1: a coke bottle falls out of an airplane somewhere in
Speaker 1: Africa and they end up worshiping this thing. It maybe interesting, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I remember, remember the coke bottle. All of that's ringing,
Speaker 1: ringing a bell. I don't know that I ever watched
Speaker 1: the whole thing, but but I was aware of it.
Speaker 1: I guess, alright, Noel, Well we lose you in two minutes,
Speaker 1: so that means the show is over. It's a short
Speaker 1: one everyone. But I do want to say we did
Speaker 1: not get to uh favorite all time best Halloween costumes
Speaker 1: movie related costumes that you've gone as And I'm gonna
Speaker 1: leave that up because people have posted a lot of
Speaker 1: great ones. And then on the movie Crushers page, um,
Speaker 1: the thread was started that could allow pictures. I can't.
Speaker 1: There's something about a quote unquote fan page that you
Speaker 1: can't have people comment with photos. I don't know why.
Speaker 1: Nothing I can do. I don't like have a switch
Speaker 1: I can turn on and off. So someone started that
Speaker 1: threat on the movie Crusher stage, Joe. And there's a
Speaker 1: lot of great photos of the Crushers in their movie
Speaker 1: related Halloween costumes over the years, and they're great. I
Speaker 1: like it when a new franchise really takes hold and
Speaker 1: you start to see like group costumes like I saw
Speaker 1: a good one for Midsummer actually, where people are wearing
Speaker 1: the dresses absolute flowers and holding the mallets and stuff.
Speaker 1: You know, totally, it's it's it's a lot of fun
Speaker 1: every Halloween because for that very reason people pick up
Speaker 1: on the new stuff. I would love to see one
Speaker 1: of those dresses. That's a good chance for creativity right there. Agreed,
Speaker 1: So thank you everyone. This has been a fun, scary
Speaker 1: Halloween month. Uh, Noel, I think you might be hopefully
Speaker 1: going to sit in on one more round table that
Speaker 1: we haven't yet recorded. Also, but this is it for
Speaker 1: the minis for Halloween, and uh and I look forward
Speaker 1: again to next year. These are always a lot of
Speaker 1: fun diving down the horror thriller terror aisles of the
Speaker 1: horror hole, the horror hole, the murder hole. So thanks
Speaker 1: to you, buddy, and then uh, thanks to you guys
