Speaker 1: you know I serve up a side of comedy always,
Speaker 1: so please keep tuning in, listen, subscribe, download.
Speaker 3: Here we go.
Speaker 1: Okay, so sorry, I'm very passionate. There's two things that
Speaker 1: get my voice like this, and it's horror films and food.
Speaker 2: Yeah, those two can cause a very visceral reaction.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're e're the same though.
Speaker 2: You're shouting or chewing either way.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. It gives me like ooh, happy dance. Okay,
Speaker 1: so what are you most excited about for October?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, there's so many and every year I
Speaker 2: like make the proclamation like I'm going to pack more
Speaker 2: Halloween stuff into this year because it's a it's a
Speaker 2: so fun. I love going to Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights.
Speaker 2: I'm a new fan of that. I've only been going
Speaker 2: for a couple of years now because I I'm a
Speaker 2: reform scaredy cat. I was so afraid of it.
Speaker 3: Oh but I always watch horror films.
Speaker 2: This is I always love horror films. Yeah, but like
Speaker 2: going into haunted houses where like there's like guys that
Speaker 2: jump out at you that I really got so anxious
Speaker 2: doing that. And actually, if anyone's listening, I want to
Speaker 2: share something that the thing that changed me that helped
Speaker 2: me through this. I heard someone talk about those haunted
Speaker 2: houses like, oh, it's they're like roller coasters, Like they
Speaker 2: all kind of have similar rhythms, so like when you've
Speaker 2: done you know, they're all different, but like you can
Speaker 2: kind of after you've done like three of them, you're like, Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm going to walk down this path. Guy's going to
Speaker 2: jump out lock down this path, you know, something like
Speaker 2: bit flashing life. And when I started thinking of it
Speaker 2: like that, it stopped, like I stopped being so nervous
Speaker 2: about it. And then another thing that helped me again
Speaker 2: as a scaredy cat at Universal Studios, when they're screaming
Speaker 2: at you, that is not the actor's voice, that is
Speaker 2: a speaker with an audiophile And I don't know why
Speaker 2: that helped, Like the fact that I knew this dude
Speaker 2: wasn't actually screaming at me. I don't know why that
Speaker 2: like made it easier.
Speaker 3: Well, you thought it was like live, Like.
Speaker 2: I thought that was like a dude just yelling at me.
Speaker 2: I don't know why that may be nervous And then yeah,
Speaker 2: my mistake anyway, So let's say there's if you're a
Speaker 2: scarty cat out there, there's hope for you. Still, these
Speaker 2: are incredible things. I'm really excited for horranites. I'm excited
Speaker 2: for horror movies.
Speaker 1: Wait, don't move on yet, I still want to talk
Speaker 1: about horrnites. Ok, yeah, Universal Horrnites. So I'm terrified of
Speaker 1: roller coasters, Like interesting, I don't like rides. I didn't
Speaker 1: go on Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland until I
Speaker 1: was forty years old.
Speaker 2: That's one job that's not even a roller coaster exactly.
Speaker 3: Now, you know, where it comes from.
Speaker 1: I went on like a school like when I was
Speaker 1: in sixth grade elementary. It was like, you know, almost
Speaker 1: like the version of grad Night, but for six graders,
Speaker 1: and the teachers and parents like took all of us
Speaker 1: to I want to say it was six Flags and
Speaker 1: we went and I was like, okay. I was really
Speaker 1: nervous to go because I was like, I don't do rides,
Speaker 1: I don't do drops.
Speaker 3: I'm scared I'm going to like people are going to
Speaker 3: make fun of me.
Speaker 1: And we get into a group and the kid in
Speaker 1: front of me, he was like, I was like, what's
Speaker 1: this one?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 1: We're getting into like it was like a log cabin
Speaker 1: and there's water and he and I and he's like no, no, no,
Speaker 1: do you like the one? And like, you know, like
Speaker 1: do you like small World? I'm like yeah, And he's
Speaker 1: like it's like a boat that goes and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I can do that. And so we get into the
Speaker 1: line we are about to go on, and for some
Speaker 1: reason I see in front of me. I look and
Speaker 1: I'm like, what's that? And I see it's like you're
Speaker 1: in a little log boat and it's like.
Speaker 3: All the way down. Do you know this ride.
Speaker 2: I do nothing worse than that. And see that big drop.
Speaker 1: Too, okay, and I literally panicked and I was like,
Speaker 1: we're in this line and we were all the way
Speaker 1: into the thing, and it was like at the point
Speaker 1: of no return. I mean, nowadays someone could scream and
Speaker 1: they probably take them off, but I don't know.
Speaker 3: I was twelve.
Speaker 1: All I remember is they were like, it's too late,
Speaker 1: you got to go. And I was like, what's going
Speaker 1: to happen. The guy's like you're gonna be fine, just
Speaker 1: like close your eyes.
Speaker 3: And I was like, oh my.
Speaker 1: God, Oh my god. So I was hoodwinked and so
Speaker 1: I got on. I survived it, but after that experience,
Speaker 1: I was like, no, you know what, this is not
Speaker 1: for me.
Speaker 3: I'm terrified. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So, I mean I'm talking, I'm the girl at again.
Speaker 1: Six Flags. Is there still Tune Town or Bugs money Land.
Speaker 2: Or something like that.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, it's for like ages like like eight and under.
Speaker 1: So I remember going on that that same trip when
Speaker 1: I was twelve, and it was like a roller coaster
Speaker 1: that's like nothing. It's like la la la la la
Speaker 1: because it has like two year olds on it. And
Speaker 1: I screamed, so loud that they stopped the ride and
Speaker 1: took me off.
Speaker 2: It's going to be a record or something like, yeah,
Speaker 2: stop from screaming.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: And when I went on Pirates of the Caribbean at
Speaker 1: forty I went there. I only had four kids at
Speaker 1: the time, and I'm talking, I'm on the ride holding
Speaker 1: two babies, like Finn was fourteen months and you can go,
Speaker 1: anyone can go. And everyone was like, don't worry, it's tiny.
Speaker 3: There's babies.
Speaker 1: What could the drop be like if you could have
Speaker 1: heard the beast scream and it was it's not like
Speaker 1: a cool girl like when my scream when I get
Speaker 1: to that point, when it's not like a cool girl
Speaker 1: like horror film scream, like like Psycho, it's like a guttural.
Speaker 3: It's like ah.
Speaker 1: And I scream reamed just so loud that I terrified
Speaker 1: everybody on that on that anyway, So anyway, it's.
Speaker 2: In the dark, you see a talking skeleton before you
Speaker 2: go down, and I get it. It's freaking I was
Speaker 2: just afraid of it.
Speaker 1: It's the literal drop and not knowing how big that
Speaker 1: drop is. That's it's the unknown.
Speaker 3: Anyway.
Speaker 1: I would never go back, but I had a point
Speaker 1: here oh horns hornts Okay, So here's another thing for
Speaker 1: scaredy cats. First of all, I.
Speaker 3: Grew up, and it's just I still do it.
Speaker 1: I do.
Speaker 3: And this is a podcast. You can't really see what
Speaker 3: I'm doing right now, but I still do the.
Speaker 1: Fingers like hands in hand in front of my eyes
Speaker 1: when I know something scary is going to happen in
Speaker 1: a horror film, and then I part them. And it's
Speaker 1: not like the Spock. It's like I separate my four
Speaker 1: fingers two to one side, two to the other, and
Speaker 1: I peek through and then I quickly shut the window.
Speaker 2: Yeah, trust your eyelids or I'm curious, what like do
Speaker 2: you not trust? Like that? You can just close your eyes.
Speaker 3: It feels like another barrier.
Speaker 1: It feels like, you know, a little a little bit safer, safer.
Speaker 1: It feels like a warm hug. But I also feel like,
Speaker 1: so you can. So I moved through horror nights. I
Speaker 1: usually go with my best friend Jess and my family,
Speaker 1: but I'll go with Jess for years. We've been doing
Speaker 1: it every year for like, oh my God, forever, and
Speaker 1: we hold hands and I hold her hand or cling
Speaker 1: to her for dear life and then I have the
Speaker 1: finger fingers going looking left and right, left and right.
Speaker 3: And but here's the thing.
Speaker 1: If you're a scaredy cat, and this is the only
Speaker 1: part that kind of bums me out, you can hear
Speaker 1: from the group in front of you when the scares
Speaker 1: are coming, and that I think, and this isn't a
Speaker 1: call out to Halloween, horrnor nights. This happens at you know,
Speaker 1: all of the haunted houses, and yeah.
Speaker 2: It's the nature of the medium. Just it just happened.
Speaker 2: It's just how it goes, you know.
Speaker 1: Because they have so many people coming through that they
Speaker 1: can't take time to really like. Yeah, so if you
Speaker 1: really are scared and you don't want to be scared,
Speaker 1: just stay super close to that group in front of
Speaker 1: you and you can almost time it. So when you
Speaker 1: hear as scare, you just run fast and let's get
Speaker 1: into the end of their group and you'll miss it.
Speaker 2: When I first went, I was kind of hoping for that.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, like, I can see the scare, so
Speaker 2: I get the experience of it, but that it's not
Speaker 2: him interacting with me.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: I think it was last year Universally did a house
Speaker 2: that was like holiday themed, like it was like there
Speaker 2: was like a scary like turkey man for Thanksgiving and
Speaker 2: then like you're cupid now that we went through. My
Speaker 2: wife and I went through the line and we were
Speaker 2: behind like an influencer that was like filming it, and
Speaker 2: they stopped the line so he could go through alone.
Speaker 2: And when we were the first ones after him, so
Speaker 2: we basically got to go through a loan too because
Speaker 2: there's no one ahead of us. And it was so scary.
Speaker 3: Wow. So if you want the full experience, find find.
Speaker 2: Got the camera in a giant light and stick behind him.
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1: So we were talking right before we started the pod
Speaker 1: because we're very excited about this topic, and this is
Speaker 1: what we talked about that this year there's two new
Speaker 1: things that you can do. I mean obviously there everyone
Speaker 1: is talking about the Terrifier.
Speaker 2: The Terrifier. Yeah, the Terrifier haunted house this year at Universal.
Speaker 3: But you were telling me and I didn't know. Are
Speaker 3: we allowed to say it? Yeah, it's all over, that's
Speaker 3: all secret at the end of it.
Speaker 2: Oh there, So this is not spoiling. They've advertised this.
Speaker 2: At the end of the of the Terrifier maze, there's
Speaker 2: there's a point where you can diverge. There's two paths,
Speaker 2: and uh and art is are the clown is up
Speaker 2: there taunting you, and there's either the dry path or
Speaker 2: the I can't remember. I think they called the blood
Speaker 2: bath is the other line. So one of them you're
Speaker 2: going to get wet. You will get wet, and the
Speaker 2: other one is dry. So if you don't want to
Speaker 2: get wet. And I have not been on this, I
Speaker 2: haven't been yet.
Speaker 3: Dry and we're not talking in medical condition.
Speaker 1: Yes exactly, it happens during menopause, but anyway.
Speaker 2: It's allegedly, but yeah, so if you want to be lubricated,
Speaker 2: you can go down the other the other line. I
Speaker 2: don't know what happens inside. I don't want to spoil
Speaker 2: it for myself yet, but I heard that the first
Speaker 2: couple of nights they did this, especially in Orlando, they
Speaker 2: went overboard on the blood in quotes, and the maze
Speaker 2: was flooding. People were just getting absolutely drenched. I believe
Speaker 2: they've toned it down since then, so you you just
Speaker 2: you still get wet, so you might invest in a
Speaker 2: pawn show before you go down that path. But it's cool,
Speaker 2: it's I've never done something like that before. It's really
Speaker 2: exciting a pawn show.
Speaker 1: Oh, you can't wear a pump show. In fact, like
Speaker 1: in horror history. To retain like the authenticity, you're supposed
Speaker 1: to run down that path in a white T shirt
Speaker 1: with no bra. Well not you, but it's it's right.
Speaker 2: That is the way they I would like people to
Speaker 2: do that.
Speaker 1: Hor So that's what always happens, right, Yes, Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: I'm definitely gonna take that wet path.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I.
Speaker 1: Wonder, like, does that it's good to know about it
Speaker 1: actually ahead of time because you might plan your outfit accordingly.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I do think that's a good thing for
Speaker 2: people to know that it's there, because it'd be terrible
Speaker 2: to want to go and you're wearing like, oh no, no,
Speaker 2: I wore my swede tuxedo tonight. I can't go down
Speaker 2: the wet path, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we are you gonna say horrible? I'm on your brain?
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah. Uh.
Speaker 1: And my daughter Stella because so it was a pretty
Speaker 1: cool experience to always go. For years, I would go
Speaker 1: with my best friend Jess, and we would go with
Speaker 1: our friends, and then all of a sudden, some of
Speaker 1: my kids got to the point where they were old
Speaker 1: enough to start going as well, so I get to
Speaker 1: share that with them, which is awesome. So like last year, Liam, Stella,
Speaker 1: Hattie and fin Wind and Bo still can't go. Not
Speaker 1: that he can't go, there's not an age limit, but
Speaker 1: I wouldn't do that to him.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But anyways, so Stella was telling me that this year
Speaker 1: you can have a pass so you don't get scared.
Speaker 1: Wait no, because walking around people jump out at you.
Speaker 2: There's like scare zones. So like even if you're not
Speaker 2: in the maze, there's going to be freaks with like
Speaker 2: chain saws and stuff just coming up to you.
Speaker 1: The chain sauce, Yes, the chain thought for a second,
Speaker 1: when you're in that, like when they come up to you, Gosh,
Speaker 1: I don't know what if like.
Speaker 3: Their eyesight's just a little off.
Speaker 1: If they're like, we're so good at this, we can
Speaker 1: come within in like an inch of your face. Oh
Speaker 1: that sounded wrong, but and then we won't hit you.
Speaker 1: But what if there's that one night.
Speaker 3: Where they just gauged a little wrong.
Speaker 1: Or they didn't get an eye check up and they're
Speaker 1: not on their game.
Speaker 2: I know, I was thinking about that. I feel like
Speaker 2: six flags are probably more in danger. Not to knock
Speaker 2: on six flags, but like it right fast, you're probably
Speaker 2: more in danger of that happening.
Speaker 3: I've never been to that one.
Speaker 2: Oh, they've got a thing they call Sliders of the
Speaker 2: Night and it's guys with like metal knee pads and
Speaker 2: they'll run up and then hit their knees and slide
Speaker 2: it like sparks up and it's always it's funny to
Speaker 2: watch that because then they have to get them and
Speaker 2: gough my knees. But a universal the chains are scary
Speaker 2: that or like they'll have the machine you know it's fake,
Speaker 2: but like the machete and the like kind of hold
Speaker 2: it up to your neck and like it freaks me out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I feel like those machetes, I don't know
Speaker 1: when we do movies, they're like they look real, but
Speaker 1: they're like rubber like knives and machetes and stuff. I've
Speaker 1: never done a movie with the chainsaw, but I would assume.
Speaker 1: I'm not assume. I know, like there's no blade in there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's not my fear.
Speaker 1: It's still metal, Like it's still going that's you you're.
Speaker 2: Fucked, Yeah exactly. But like this guy is holding a
Speaker 2: I can smell it. It's a gas power chainsaw, you know,
Speaker 2: like I want him to hit me at the piece
Speaker 2: of machinery. Oh but you were saying, so there's a
Speaker 2: thing this year that yeah, I knew it's it's called
Speaker 2: it's called the Deathly Afraid Necklace and it's twenty bucks.
Speaker 2: And if you wear it around universal horrnites, the scare zones,
Speaker 2: they won't like come up to you, like they'll see
Speaker 2: the necklace and know like, Okay, I'm not that guy's
Speaker 2: a scaredy cat with twenty dollars to spare. I'm not
Speaker 2: going to scare him. So if you don't like them,
Speaker 2: I mean I want them in my face, So I'm
Speaker 2: not I'm not doing this. But if that's then there
Speaker 2: freaks out, you can that's a cool option for people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, same, but that feels like God, I would feel
Speaker 1: like a puss walking around that with that necklace, be
Speaker 1: so ashamed of myself.
Speaker 3: I'd just be like.
Speaker 2: It'd be like, hey, here's this dunce cap you can
Speaker 2: wear and they'll not to scare you.
Speaker 1: And like there are prosthetics and like all of like
Speaker 1: can they even see it? I wonder what it looks like?
Speaker 3: Is it glow?
Speaker 2: Does it's I'm looking at it's like a it's a
Speaker 2: it's small. It does glow, it lights up, but it's
Speaker 2: like a little pendent of a skull and crossbones. It's
Speaker 2: like a little circular thing. And uh here, I'm going
Speaker 2: to show you a picture of it actually so you
Speaker 2: can comment on this too.
Speaker 1: But it should be like a big it should be
Speaker 1: like a big p on that you have to wear.
Speaker 3: It's like the scarlet letter, but instead of an A,
Speaker 3: it's a P.
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly exactly. I feel bad for the scare actors
Speaker 2: because they have to now look for this thing and
Speaker 2: they can't just like be yeah, they can't like just
Speaker 2: be in the character. They have to be like, oh,
Speaker 2: oh he has a necklace. The world, you know. And
Speaker 2: so I don't even know if it works, like I
Speaker 2: would love to hear how many people still get scared
Speaker 2: because they don't know they don't see the necklace or something.
Speaker 3: And they're like, I won't wait twenty bucks back.
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm very excited. It's one of the highlights of
Speaker 1: my year. Yes, so thank you Universal orn.
Speaker 2: The best to do it best in the game.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they are. Well, I mean, have you been
Speaker 3: to Not Scary Farm.
Speaker 2: I have not been to Not Scare Farm, and I
Speaker 2: always wanted to though, because I've heard I heard about
Speaker 2: the h I think it was two years ago. They
Speaker 2: had like you walked through like an elephant's pen in
Speaker 2: like a circus and it just smelled like it smelled
Speaker 2: like elephant poop. Yeah, and then uh, there's there was
Speaker 2: another one where love that you just said, I'm trying
Speaker 2: to be polite here, we're in polite society. But they
Speaker 2: also had a thing where like they'd project mist and
Speaker 2: it looked like water and then there'd be guys on
Speaker 2: the ground like popping up like it was like you're
Speaker 2: and it looks like you're wading through water, which is
Speaker 2: kind of fun. My wife went one year and she said, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's it's scary. But I also they had like a
Speaker 2: laser tag thing where you shoot zombies and outside there's
Speaker 2: just a couple full blown having sex in the bushes,
Speaker 2: just like two people that were at Not Scary of Fun.
Speaker 2: So that can't you can't promise that'll happen every year,
Speaker 2: but it has happened.
Speaker 1: You had me at Poop like I have never been
Speaker 1: because it's really far and now I got to go
Speaker 1: because I'm.
Speaker 2: Anything can happen and Not Scary Farm they don't have
Speaker 2: a good poop chat or they don't have any hype there,
Speaker 2: Like they don't have any like uh, you know, there's
Speaker 2: not gonna be like a movie you recognize at Not
Speaker 2: Scary Farm. It's all original stuff. So it'd be like,
Speaker 2: you know, Professor Stabbington's like Horror Layer or something like that.
Speaker 2: It'll just be like weird things you've never heard of.
Speaker 1: I like, yeah, yeah, so I was.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think when this was. This is like
Speaker 3: a year or two ago. I was in an uber
Speaker 3: and I don't know if.
Speaker 1: You ever have this experience in ubers, but like I
Speaker 1: always get an uber driver that tells me their life story.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, okay, like I've given romance like romance advice.
Speaker 3: I I've heard it all.
Speaker 1: And this this one he was telling me that his
Speaker 1: Halloween time job is he's a scare actor and he
Speaker 1: used to work at Not Scary Farm. Wow, And just
Speaker 1: the training and the rehearsal and like everything that goes
Speaker 1: into it, and they choose wisely like not anyone can
Speaker 1: do it like.
Speaker 2: Me, I get it. It takes a lot of First
Speaker 2: of all, you have to be a good actor. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we all put on a good performance, and you need
Speaker 2: that physical endurance. You gotta be on your feet, like
Speaker 2: given high energy for hours at a time. It's tough.
Speaker 1: And he also told me that it was very common
Speaker 1: that they get hit, like they can't touch people. But yeah,
Speaker 1: he was saying, you know, because it's just it's not people.
Speaker 3: That do it on purpose. They're not trying to hate you.
Speaker 2: But when reflex like.
Speaker 3: Jump out and a guy's just.
Speaker 1: Like boom and you're like whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah. I
Speaker 1: got in trouble one year at one of these because
Speaker 1: they said I touched an actor.
Speaker 2: Really yeah, wow, touch them, which you.
Speaker 1: Can't touch them when you go through the mazes, like
Speaker 1: that's off limits.
Speaker 3: And I can't even remember.
Speaker 1: What the story was, but I absolutely did not touch
Speaker 1: you know what it was. It was like afterwards and
Speaker 1: I feel like I was like leaving and I went
Speaker 1: to pull out my phone to take a photo or
Speaker 1: something and one of them like was there and like
Speaker 1: my elbow hit them, and.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, there was an accident. I mean it's dark
Speaker 2: in there too.
Speaker 1: And they were like so I came out and security
Speaker 1: is like whoa, And I was like, well, and I
Speaker 1: won't say which one this was at, but they were
Speaker 1: like you touch and you just felt so shamed, like you,
Speaker 1: I felt like I was getting arrested for something like
Speaker 1: like if the if the glove doesn't fit, you must
Speaker 1: have quit. Like it wasn't me.
Speaker 3: I didn't do it anyway.
Speaker 2: No, did you have to go to wherever? This was
Speaker 2: a courthouse on the grounds of the haunt Hunted Court.
Speaker 1: That'd be fun though, No, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: Luckily I was doing like it was one of those
Speaker 1: VIP tours.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: The tour guide came out was like no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: everything's fine, and I was like, no, you don't have
Speaker 1: to say everything's fine because it's me and it's a
Speaker 1: VIP tour.
Speaker 3: Like I really didn't do anything.
Speaker 1: I was trying to get my phone now and my
Speaker 1: like I'm so sorry.
Speaker 3: But it was just yeah, it was a scare scare
Speaker 3: actor with a grudge. Yeah, I guess he didn't.
Speaker 1: You know, he wasn't all about Donna Martin graduates. He
Speaker 1: didn't like nine O two one oo or something.
Speaker 2: He was like I've always wondered, I mean, these guys
Speaker 2: are all professionals, these fine men and women that do this.
Speaker 2: But I always wonder, like if there's a time where
Speaker 2: like you're you're in a you're like you're going through
Speaker 2: the haunted house. The lion's backed up. Maybe like when
Speaker 2: the lion gets backed up, you see the scar acter
Speaker 2: do the same thing over and over, like jump out
Speaker 2: and like shake that. And I always wonder if one
Speaker 2: of every now and then you'll see like a possessed
Speaker 2: girl from Exorcist, like turn her head around, go I
Speaker 2: love night or two went by the way, that would
Speaker 2: be so fun.
Speaker 1: I think, wait at one at one of these random ones. Yes, really, uh,
Speaker 1: maybe I love it. I'm not saying which one. I've
Speaker 1: been to almost all of them except not Scary Farm
Speaker 1: Haunted hay Ride.
Speaker 2: I've never done the Haunted hay Ride. We did ah
Speaker 2: at work. One time they brought in they were doing
Speaker 2: like a VR version of it, and they brought in
Speaker 2: headsets for us to try, and so I did the
Speaker 2: like VR version of an Ha.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wish I had done that with you.
Speaker 2: It was It was still scary, but I've always wanted
Speaker 2: to do the real one. The lines are so long.
Speaker 3: Though, you should totally do it.
Speaker 2: All right, I'll check it out here in Los Angeles,
Speaker 2: the Haunted.
Speaker 1: Hay ride on a scar factor. It's not the scariest,
Speaker 1: I'll say that, but it's cool. It's a cool experience.
Speaker 1: You're on the move, you don't have to walk much,
Speaker 1: which is you know.
Speaker 2: You're riding on Hey, that's right.
Speaker 3: Right, yeah.
Speaker 1: But if you're like, I don't want the scariest thing,
Speaker 1: but I want an experience.
Speaker 3: I would do that one first.
Speaker 2: Okay, cool?
Speaker 1: In my humble horror opine. What other ones are there?
Speaker 2: So the Queen Mary used to do one called Dark Harbor.
Speaker 2: In the last couple of years. It was Shaquille O'Neal
Speaker 2: took it over and it was Shaktoberfest, which is hot story. Yes,
Speaker 2: but I think Dark Harbor might be back this year.
Speaker 2: Let me double check that. But Dark Harber, Queen Mary,
Speaker 2: that sounds like fun because the Queen Mary. Again, if
Speaker 2: you live in Los Angeles, it's terrifying on its own.
Speaker 2: Uh and it is happening now in until the beginning, Remember.
Speaker 1: It is terrifying. Yeah, it's the only place I had
Speaker 1: my only threesome in my whole life. Really, ship was terrifying.
Speaker 1: I said ship, I didn't say ship.
Speaker 3: Both.
Speaker 2: Well, sorry, I don't want to detract from the Halloween
Speaker 2: spooky talk, but I'm just I'm just really curious. Was
Speaker 2: the was it like a spur of the moment thing
Speaker 2: and you were on the Queen Mary, or was it
Speaker 2: like a planned like we want to do this, we
Speaker 2: want to have this threesome experience on the oldest vessel
Speaker 2: in the waters.
Speaker 1: No, it was during nine two, okay, and we were
Speaker 1: filming an entire episode on the Queen Mary. Okay, So
Speaker 1: we stayed overnight, all the cast, all of the crew, everybody,
Speaker 1: I believe the Google dolls performed.
Speaker 3: And uh, dating myself. No, no, not really anyway. Uh,
Speaker 3: it was not a planned thing.
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, get that. That adds more context, that makes
Speaker 2: more sense. I did like the idea of like, we're
Speaker 2: going to do a threesome and it's got to be
Speaker 2: on board the Queen Mary.
Speaker 3: I mean, have you stayed in one of those rooms?
Speaker 2: I have. We did stay there for my wife's birthday
Speaker 2: a few years ago, and it was fun but not comfortable.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Okay, so the boat is from.
Speaker 3: The so you've gone in some holes in that room
Speaker 3: and it's just.
Speaker 2: I have fit into some of those small portholes.
Speaker 3: Yes, no, yeah it's not. It's kind of all them.
Speaker 2: Yeah it's not sexy, No, no, far from. That's why
Speaker 2: I was so shocked to hear that that was the
Speaker 2: venue for such a I know, such an experience.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it makes for a good story.
Speaker 1: Not that I knew I'd be telling stories about a
Speaker 1: threesome on the Queen Mary twenty five years later, but
Speaker 1: here we go.
Speaker 2: Yes, you can experience, you can get spooked yourself. There's
Speaker 2: a thing called voodoo, the Queen's Curse Feasts, the final cut,
Speaker 2: all these different haunts on board the Queen Mary. Right now,
Speaker 2: there's so many in southern California where just spoiled with
Speaker 2: these haunts.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 3: But since.
Speaker 1: My listeners are all over, yeah, there are things in
Speaker 1: other states. So I last year was able to go
Speaker 1: to Kansas City and this you remember this and do
Speaker 1: this haunt. It was an immersive experience combined with I
Speaker 1: guess they have this maze every year, okay, and they combined,
Speaker 1: they combined. Partnered with my friend Darren Bausman, who obviously
Speaker 1: director Horror Fanatic, does immersive experiences like no other.
Speaker 2: He created the what many agree is the most the
Speaker 2: worst trap in all of saw history. The pit full
Speaker 2: of needles, needles, that was that was his brain child.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he has that in his garage, I believe. So
Speaker 1: my friend Darren Bausman and my friend Morgan Rooms did this,
Speaker 1: and my best friend Jess they got you know, I
Speaker 1: don't like flying and I don't like leaving my kids either.
Speaker 1: It is Jess, but only for them. We flew to
Speaker 1: Kansas City, so it was like part immersive experience, which
Speaker 1: was awesome, and then part like this maze that they
Speaker 1: do every year, Famous Horror Maze in Kansas City. So anyway,
Speaker 1: it's voted best haunted house legendary haunts. Anyway, we went
Speaker 1: Jess and I and and you literally, I think what's
Speaker 1: different about going outside of la ours that we experience
Speaker 1: what we call haunted houses?
Speaker 3: Haunted mazes.
Speaker 1: Are very contained within like a theme park, and you know,
Speaker 1: so you can only go so far in the imagination
Speaker 1: of like where am I? Because you step right out
Speaker 1: of it and you're suddenly eating a giant pink donut.
Speaker 3: The Simpson Ride, you know, like, so which is the
Speaker 3: only ride I will go on?
Speaker 2: Wow?
Speaker 1: And there's people that are hardcore roller coaster fanatics that
Speaker 1: won't go on that because it's a different experience. There's
Speaker 1: two things that go fast that I go on, not
Speaker 1: fast that can So the Simpsons ride and the Teacups
Speaker 1: in Disneyland.
Speaker 2: Okay, interesting, So I like to go around.
Speaker 3: I guess I don't like to go down. A lot
Speaker 3: of people I don't like to go down.
Speaker 2: Sorry, the cry is of men across the country. I
Speaker 2: can hear right now. Now. A lot of people get
Speaker 2: sick from that Simpsons right, and we'll do what I.
Speaker 3: Have to do, but only in the first six months.
Speaker 3: Then you're fucked.
Speaker 2: An iron stomach of Tory spelling. A lot of people
Speaker 2: get sick on both those rides. That's a major complaint
Speaker 2: that they get queasy.
Speaker 3: I love them. Okay, So what was I saying?
Speaker 1: I was saying, Okay, but once you were outside of
Speaker 1: LA in California, Kansas City. So we go and it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, there's great Kansas City and there's I feel
Speaker 1: like Taylor Swift was in town that weekend we were
Speaker 1: there or something, which you know is all the time.
Speaker 3: But okay, so you know, like downtown.
Speaker 1: It was like super cool and very cool boutique hotels
Speaker 1: and stores and restaurants and bars. But we drove. Our
Speaker 1: friend Larry was with us. He's another immersive experience. We
Speaker 1: we kind of follow We're like groupies for Darren Bausman,
Speaker 1: like whenever he does stuff, we're like his like VIP groupies.
Speaker 3: And then so anyway we went.
Speaker 1: He rented a car, he drove us and we had
Speaker 1: drive like thirty minutes outside and we had to park
Speaker 1: in a parking lot, and all of a sudden, I
Speaker 1: was like, whoa, we're walking and there's no street lights,
Speaker 1: there's no there's nothing, there's no stop signs. It was
Speaker 1: like I was I was in Texas Chainsaw Massacre like
Speaker 1: this is and I couldn't have been happier. I was like, whoa,
Speaker 1: this is the real deal, because something could happen to
Speaker 1: us and it might not even be related to this
Speaker 1: haunted thing we're about to do because we're out in
Speaker 1: the middle of the woods. We're out in the middle
Speaker 1: of nowhere, no cell reception, and it's like the perfect
Speaker 1: storm of any horror movie setting, minus the car breaking down.
Speaker 3: We chose to park our car and get out and walk.
Speaker 1: So anyway, when you are doing the like the mercy
Speaker 1: of experience was super rad, but when you were doing
Speaker 1: the maze part, it is really different.
Speaker 3: People are jumping out at you, but you're also not
Speaker 3: just following everybody and going through a perfect line. You're
Speaker 3: running down hills and.
Speaker 1: Holding on to branches and like that's awesome, and they'd
Speaker 1: like really push it.
Speaker 3: It was scary and like I lost Jess at.
Speaker 1: One point and I was with this random group of
Speaker 1: people and this guy was like he was like literally
Speaker 1: like this two hundred and thirty pounds, like man and
Speaker 1: tall and big, and he was like crying like.
Speaker 3: A baby, and he was like I've never done one
Speaker 3: of these.
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, I'm going to be the
Speaker 1: heroine in this, Like this is really me and a
Speaker 1: horror film where I'm like the main like main character energy.
Speaker 3: And I was like, hang on to me, Oh, get
Speaker 3: you out of here. What the fuck am I gonna do?
Speaker 1: But like you know, and so I grabbed him and
Speaker 1: like he was holding he was weighing me down at
Speaker 1: this point, but I was like, you know what, no
Speaker 1: trolls left behind and so and I say that because
Speaker 1: no man left behind, but literally the movie trolls. So
Speaker 1: I wasn't likening this man to a troll. I just
Speaker 1: have kids, so I say that. And then at one point,
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm holding myself back. If it was a
Speaker 1: real horror film, like I probably would have gotten killed
Speaker 1: because he was like hanging on to me, and I'm like.
Speaker 3: This way, hurry, we got to get out of here.
Speaker 1: And I like to put myself in scenarios and pretend
Speaker 1: I'm actually living a horror film, because if you're gonna
Speaker 1: do it, do it. And then at one point he
Speaker 1: bailed on me, and I was like, really yeah, he
Speaker 1: like saw an opening and he was like push me
Speaker 1: to side and he was like running for like, and
Speaker 1: I was like really yeah, I say.
Speaker 3: I don't believe in that.
Speaker 1: I'll always go I'll go down trying to save people.
Speaker 1: But and then at one point there was this one
Speaker 1: like two ways out, and they made me eat a
Speaker 1: handful of.
Speaker 3: Dried worms.
Speaker 1: It's not maggots, Maggot's Michael, you're eating maggots. Sorry that
Speaker 1: was from Lost Boys, But no, no, no, do you
Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about? Like the dried worms you
Speaker 1: can buy in stores to like feed your like bearded dragon.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, like like meal worms or something or
Speaker 2: like whatever those they make.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I ate it.
Speaker 2: You're so yeah committed to the experience.
Speaker 1: I'm committed. Sorry I went off on a tangent. But ooh,
Speaker 1: you guys, let us know the best horror experiences all
Speaker 1: over the country.
Speaker 2: Yes, I want to know. I want to know every
Speaker 2: weird place. I want to know every weird haunt that
Speaker 2: you can find.
Speaker 3: And you know what, next year we should get some
Speaker 3: info and next year we shoul to go to them.
Speaker 2: Yes, I would that would be amazing. Just do like
Speaker 2: a tour and.
Speaker 1: Get some to pay for it so we don't have
Speaker 1: to like paid to go and then we'll film it
Speaker 1: and we'll experience every single one. Now do you remember
Speaker 1: do these still exist? Do you remember the ones that
Speaker 1: would be like the scariest haunt, Like there's like the
Speaker 1: ones where you literally are like closing a coffin you
Speaker 1: were buried.
Speaker 2: You were like, yeah, you have to like sign a
Speaker 2: waiver for those lines.
Speaker 3: What are those called like extreme haunts? Yes, yes, you
Speaker 3: have to sign a waiver. You have to have a
Speaker 3: safe word.
Speaker 2: Yes, I don't know if I would be able to
Speaker 2: do that one.
Speaker 3: So here's the.
Speaker 1: Thing I call myself like this the Horror Queen, like
Speaker 1: I could do anything. I always have said I want
Speaker 1: to do one of those, but I wonder how far
Speaker 1: i'd make it.
Speaker 3: They have ones in La. Yeah they're not crazy crazy,
Speaker 3: but I hear there they can get dicey.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like there's somewhere like the'll shave part of your
Speaker 2: head or they like dunky underwater and stuff. I can't
Speaker 2: do that. I would not be able to do that.
Speaker 3: I pay a off for these extensions. I don't want
Speaker 3: them to shave my head. Well one of them.
Speaker 1: So, like Darren did the Tension Experience, which is really
Speaker 1: famous for immersive experiences. LUST one was called and Lust
Speaker 1: I went to with my best friend Dress and our
Speaker 1: friend Spencer. They took him into a room, gave him
Speaker 1: a razor and shaving cream, a hospital gown, and they
Speaker 1: told him in the bathroom.
Speaker 3: That he had to take off all his clothes and
Speaker 3: shave his pubes.
Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah did he do it?
Speaker 3: Yeah he was committed, he did it.
Speaker 2: We love it. I mean, did he have thankfully had
Speaker 2: something to shave? Right? What if he was like when
Speaker 2: said to Hetty, you.
Speaker 1: Eddie, imagine down to the heart heartwood. What movies are
Speaker 1: coming out this month that we can see. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: really see I didn't look this up.
Speaker 3: I should have.
Speaker 2: Let's see, uh what I'm excited about. Let me look
Speaker 2: this up. I shuh.
Speaker 3: You saw the Conjuring, right, I.
Speaker 2: Loved the Conjuring. I'm really excited for Black Phone too.
Speaker 2: I loved the first Black Phone.
Speaker 1: I loved the first one, although I went with some
Speaker 1: of my older teens and didn't know it was about.
Speaker 3: What it was about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I was like, oh my god, is a
Speaker 1: mom You're like got it? But it was a great
Speaker 1: horror film.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's so good. Let's see what else is coming.
Speaker 2: Let me see finance at Pretty too, I believe is coming. U. Oh,
Speaker 2: that's at the end of the year. That's in December.
Speaker 2: That's that's gonna be fun.
Speaker 3: There's really none, right, I just saw.
Speaker 2: I really loved The Long Walk. I just saw The
Speaker 2: Long Walk.
Speaker 3: I've not seen that.
Speaker 2: It's so good. It's based on Stephen King short story. Okay,
Speaker 2: it's really it's it's so good. It's gruesome and scary,
Speaker 2: but also like the acting is incredible and it's a
Speaker 2: very touching story.
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 3: So I put all of those things into one gruesome, scary,
Speaker 3: and touching.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really a remarkable movie. I think every one
Speaker 2: should see The Long Walk.
Speaker 3: I'm late to the game, but I just saw weapons.
Speaker 2: Oh my god. I love weapons. Oh my god. I
Speaker 2: can't stop talking about weapons. I love it.
Speaker 3: Look at my face right now.
Speaker 2: You didn't like weapons.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna say I didn't like it. I appreciated it.
Speaker 1: I appreciate all horror films, all scary films all I maybe, Okay,
Speaker 1: it could have been this. It was one of those
Speaker 1: that I saw late in the game. Everyone had hyped
Speaker 1: it up so much that it was put on such
Speaker 1: a pedestal.
Speaker 3: I didn't get where. So the ant like, what's her backstory?
Speaker 2: We're gonna find that out. He's making another movie about her.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, but it's a little random, right, Uh.
Speaker 2: It is random, But that's kind of like what I
Speaker 2: like about it is it's this mystery, this mysterious person
Speaker 2: comes in and does this crazy stuff. I liked it. Huh,
Speaker 2: but I get it. If it's off, it's off for everybody.
Speaker 2: That's okay, No, no, no, I liked it.
Speaker 1: I just the story didn't add up for me because
Speaker 1: I was just like, wait, they just drop in this
Speaker 1: random family member just so this entire movie couldn't exist.
Speaker 2: What if she's not a family member?
Speaker 3: Oh shit?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: What how many people do you think are gonna go
Speaker 3: as her for Halloween?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, she's gonna be a huge costume?
Speaker 3: Huge? Does she get a piece of that now?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: So I haven't started decorating for Halloween. Now. Every single year.
Speaker 1: I say to myself, I'm gonna start decoring for Halloween early,
Speaker 1: and then every single year I say to myself, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna start decorating for Christmas early, and it just one
Speaker 1: of these years I'm gonna kneel it. But uh yeah,
Speaker 1: so October, you know, days away, and I have not
Speaker 1: started decorating, and it sucks because it's like fall. You know,
Speaker 1: I could have started like a month ago. We definitely
Speaker 1: have the gear, Like, hello, do you think I have
Speaker 1: like stuff in my storage and in my garage?
Speaker 3: Duh?
Speaker 1: Like I could have pulled it out and started decorating
Speaker 1: the house, but I haven't. And then I always do
Speaker 1: this one My kids get me to go to Spirit
Speaker 1: Halloween and we buy more stuff. Even though I know
Speaker 1: I should be practical.
Speaker 3: Have you met me? And I should be like, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: we have stuff from last year and the year before
Speaker 3: and the year before that and ten years before that.
Speaker 3: But no, I always get new stuff.
Speaker 1: Now. When I was in my twenties lived at the Wilshire,
Speaker 1: but with my roommate Kevin, my roommate Jenny, at a
Speaker 1: certain time, I went all out. I mean I'm talking
Speaker 1: like smoke machines and like the black lights and all out,
Speaker 1: and I mean it was crazy. Now is a mom
Speaker 1: of five a single mom of five? Yeah, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: keep using that moniker to say why I should get
Speaker 1: some vat And I'm kidding until I'm no longer single anymore.
Speaker 1: But I am just like, hey, I'm lucky at the
Speaker 1: end of the day if we have like some real
Speaker 1: pumpkins carved out in front of the house, maybe a
Speaker 1: styrofoam like tombstone place somewhere, and yeah, that's it. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: I always make my famous chili every Halloween. And I've
Speaker 1: done this since I was in my twenties at my
Speaker 1: apartment at the Wilshire, and I would make it for
Speaker 1: all my friends when they came over, and I'll take
Speaker 1: a giant pumpkin carve out the center and put the
Speaker 1: chili in there and then serve it and it's always
Speaker 1: a huge hit. It's like a Diy chili bar. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I'll get that done because I do that every year.
Speaker 1: I'll post the recipe. I'll want to post the recipe,
Speaker 1: and then I'll never get it done. But you know,
Speaker 1: it's all about having good intentions. Anyway, Yeah, I should
Speaker 1: end this podcast and go like decorate for Halloween. Get
