Episode Transcript

Speaker A (00:14):
Hello, my spooky friends.
This is John, and welcome to another episode
of Dairyland Frights, the paranormal podcastthat covers everything spooky, creepy, and
mysterious in the midwest.
And again, I'm blessed by more spooky guests.
Great guests on the podcast.
Today I have Matt and Hannah from the horror

(00:35):
hour with Hannah's podcast.
With the Hannah's podcast.
How you guys doing?

Speaker B (00:42):
We're good.
We're excited to be here.

Speaker C (00:44):
Thanks for having us.

Speaker B (00:45):
I'm Hannah.

Speaker C (00:46):
And I'm Matt.
Hannah, and we make up horror hour with the
Hannah's.

Speaker B (00:51):
Yes.

Speaker A (00:52):
I thought Hannah had the beard.
I'm confused now.
I'm totally confused.
You guys confuse me.
I don't know what's going on.
No, but anyway, tell me about your podcast.
Let my spooky friends know a little bit aboutyou, what you guys do on your podcast there.

Speaker C (01:08):
So we're a horror movie review podcast with a main focus on really dissecting
the thematic analysis of a movie and how allof the parts of it come together to service
those themes.
So that's more the structured side of it.
But then there's a lot of room for us to kindof goof off, riff, talk about these movies and

(01:31):
how they work, why they work so well, or whythey don't work well.
Easy tagline is, I think we're trying tocombat media literacy one episode at a time.

Speaker A (01:44):
I love it.
Yeah. I've listened to your podcast and my
spooky friends out there.
Do yourself a favor.
Listen to them.
They're not a critic, okay?
So I want to stress that enough.
Matt and Hannah are not like, well, I thought
the third act of the blah blah blah blah blahkind of, but not know that dry critic stuff.

Speaker C (02:05):
Where you're like, we try to keep it a lot of.
There's a lot of goofiness that still goes on,but then when it comes down to it, it's like,
we really want to dive into why these moviesare great or not so great.
It's english class a little bit, but.

Speaker B (02:22):
It'S a little more fun way.

Speaker A (02:24):
Absolutely.
And that's what I love about you guys.
And you're married.
So what's funny about that is I tell everyone,
I've been married 25 years, and you havedifferent opinions, just like my wife and I.
And we've been married so long, I don't evenwant to.
We still have different opinions.

(02:45):
And that's what I love about married couples,
from married paranormal investigators tomarried couples like you doing movies to
whatever out there.
I just love it because being a married person
for a long time, I'm like, yeah, okay.
It can be fun.
And sometimes.

Speaker B (03:03):
We'Ve had someone reached out and they were like, oh, my gosh, I love your
dynamic.
And I was like, well, we are married, so
that's probably why, right?

Speaker A (03:14):
Absolutely.
So before we get to the movies and dive into
some of the movies here and kind of give ouropinion on some, we developed, by the way, in
different categories.
If you haven't seen these movies, I'd
recommend them.
We tried to bring a good variety.
I know Matt and Hannah has their list, too.
But before we get into that, I would like to

(03:36):
ask.
I'm going to start with you, Hannah.
Talk about some of your paranormalexperiences, if you've had any.

Speaker B (03:44):
So I am from a small, old historical town in New Jersey, right along the
Delaware.
So that famous photo of Washington crossing
the Delaware is, like a mile from where Igrew.
So it is apparently very.

(04:04):
We. There's like, a haunted ghost tour every
year, and I've been three times.
And the places that they go to are never the
same because there are just apparently so manyhaunted houses in my hometown.

Speaker C (04:17):
Can I also say her towns? The homes here are, like, hundreds of years.
They are historic homes.

Speaker B (04:24):
Yeah. So when I was younger, my friend lived, like, a couple streets over.
So I used to go there all the time, like,after school and stuff.
So that was like, middle school, high school.
And I remember one day, I was, like, an
*******.
Oh, I'm sorry.

Speaker A (04:45):
No. You swear we're all good.
We're all good.

Speaker B (04:49):
Because I have a potty mouth.

Speaker C (04:50):
Yeah, we curse.

Speaker A (04:52):
Yeah, I've heard it.

Speaker C (04:54):
Potty mouth.

Speaker B (04:55):
So just being a little ****, I was like, I'm going to hide in her closet and jump
out at her.
And I just remember sitting there just like,
something is in this closet with me.
I'm so uncomfortable I can't be here.
And I kind of just chalked it up to, like, I'ma scaredy cat and I don't like the dark.
So I ended up leaving, running downstairs, andbeing like, okay, your home scares me.

(05:18):
I think I got to go.
And so we just never really talked about that
because it wasn't important.
And like a week later, she goes, oh, the other
day, my phone was charging in that closet.
And look at these weird pictures that are on
my phone that were taken, like, timestampedfor the time that my phone was in the closet.

(05:38):
And so we're looking at them, and they were,like, really grainy, just kind of, like,
shadowed photos in shapes that kind of justlooked like a looming person, kind of grim
reaper shape.
So I was like, okay, that's not cool.
And so over time, she would just kind of belike, oh, random photos keep falling off our

(06:00):
wall, or the dog just keeps barking at thesame wall of the photos, and we'll just sit
there all day and bark at the wall.
And so I bring this up to my mom because I'm
like, mom, this is so weird.
My mom goes, well, their house was on the
paranormal tour last year.
And I guess I just never put it together that

(06:25):
I had literally been on the paranormal tour,looked at her home, learned about the
hauntings there or the supposed haunting, andthen been in the home and been like, all of
that is weird.
And then later, so not like huge occurrences,
kind of small things that you could chalk upto other things, but having the then knowledge

(06:46):
that it has been rumored to be haunted foryears and years and years before they lived
there or before I experienced anything wasjust kind of like, it feels too weird to be a
coincidence.
And then another place that I lived in, it
used to be, like, a giant mansion that wasthen broken up into apartment buildings.
And again, I did not know that this wassupposedly haunted when I lived there.

(07:09):
And again, I didn't see anything, like,glaring, but it was more just like this
negative vibe that I certainly don't have inthis apartment I live in now.
I've lived in other places where there's,like, a feeling you get that's different in
some places than it is others.
And I just would have this overwhelming,
negative, uncomfortable feeling, especially inthe basement.

Speaker C (07:31):
I went in that basement.

Speaker B (07:33):
It's the worst basement of all the time.

Speaker C (07:37):
It's an old house basement, like you said.
This was, as you described, like a massivehouse that they just put walls to make it an
apartment, which was kind of sad.
Yeah, that basement.

Speaker B (07:47):
But you would go down that basement and just this feeling of oppression apparent.
And I remember I brought that up to my mom,too.
And she was like, well, newsflash, this houseis door ever Gail?
And I asked my mom, because I didn't reallylive there full time.

(08:10):
I only lived there one summer when I came homefrom college.
My mom lived there full time.
And so I remember asking her, have you seen
anything?Or do you just get that feeling, too?
And she was like, I haven't seen anything.
But some of the neighbors have said that they
have seen a woman.
And so this year, we go on the paranormal tour

(08:31):
this past October, and the story is down theline.
It's basically that there's a woman, she walksout along.
Out along the path right in front of the home.
And it's like, historical background related
to why she.

Speaker C (08:51):
There's an assumption of who she is.

Speaker A (08:54):
Right.

Speaker B (08:58):
Very interesting.
Just to be from an area that's like that.

Speaker A (09:02):
Right.

Speaker B (09:02):
And talking to other people who do or don't believe.
I'm like, no, I kind of believe.

Speaker A (09:06):
Yeah. Right.
And basements are always strange in the sense
that not all basements are like this.
My basement is nothing haunted or anything.
My house was built in the 1990s, and I'm noton, like, at least I don't know if I'm on

(09:30):
native american burial ground, you know whatI'm saying?
But I'm pretty sure I'm not.
But the town I'm in, spring Green, Wisconsin,
we have homes from the 18 hundreds, and it'sjust right near me.
And I'm like, oh, that's kind of cool.
My neighborhood was built, obviously, years

(09:52):
later, but, yeah, basements.
Yeah.
There's just something about them.
Right.
There's just something weird about a lot ofbasements and everything.
Are you familiar with shadow people?

Speaker B (10:08):
Not super familiar.

Speaker C (10:09):
That's what you see when you take a lot of Benadryl.
Right.

Speaker A (10:15):
So shadow people are pretty much in every.
You could even say it to a horror movie whereyou see this insidious maybe movie where you
see, like, this dark shadow coming into theroom.
Have you ever seen anything like that?Any dark shadows come into the basement or
anything like that?

Speaker B (10:34):
Not that I can recall or anything.
Although I have had sleep paralysis and
certainly saw that.

Speaker A (10:43):
Yeah, that's sleep paralysis.
That's.

Speaker B (10:46):
It's always basically shadow people that I see when I have sleep paralysis.

Speaker C (10:50):
So that's about crazy.

Speaker A (10:52):
So, Matt, can you top it? I heard you're kind of a skeptic.

Speaker C (10:57):
I got nothing.
That's probably why I'm a mean.
I believe Hannah.
I believe the stuff.
I think it's really.

Speaker A (11:06):
Shouldn'T.

Speaker C (11:06):
I'm not a skeptic of individual people.
I think I'm a skeptic of a lot of paranormalinvestigators.
That's where it comes in.
We talk about a lot.
Because you watch the conjuring movies, and Iwill go on record saying, I think they're
complete frauds.

(11:27):
That's where I sit on that.
I've just never had anything too crazy happen.
But that doesn't mean I'm like, I completely
don't.

Speaker B (11:33):
You also grew up in new construction, right?
Like, you lived the first 20 years of yourlife in a house that was built in the.

Speaker C (11:41):
Or whatever.

Speaker A (11:42):
Yeah. Right?

Speaker B (11:44):
So it's very different than, like, I don't know, growing up somewhere where that
house has been around for over 200 years,which is kind of like my experience.

Speaker A (11:53):
Right.

Speaker C (11:54):
You know, where all went wrong for me.
When I was in fifth grade, we were supposed togo to Gettysburg, and they would do this
overnight field trip, right, to Gettysburg, dothe ghost tour.
And when I hit third grade, they changed thecurriculum.
I was, like, waiting for every year, you'dhear about the fifth grader going in, my
cameras turning off while they're trying totake photos, seeing, like, orbs and things.

(12:16):
I changed the curriculum.
And then we didn't get to go.
I get to go to Fort Ligonaire and Fort Pitt,which I was like, I can go there anytime.
And I was forever disappointed.
Now I'm a skeptic.

Speaker A (12:28):
Matt, they ruined your life.
Thanks.

Speaker B (12:33):
I will say also that we did an episode with paranormal in Pennsylvania.
We went to McGillan's house with them, and I,while with Sarah, had maybe an experience in
the bathroom, which is one of the areas thatwe did not know at the time was supposedly

(12:54):
haunted.
And so then learning that after, I was like,
**** it.

Speaker C (13:01):
She was in there by herself and closed the door.
And then the door started, like, shaking.
Yeah.

Speaker A (13:06):
Wow.

Speaker B (13:07):
Yeah. So then I left, ran downstairs, and I was like, sarah, can you
come to the bathroom with me?I don't want to be here alone.
And then we used the EMF reader, and it wentup to four or five at the stall that I was in
when it started shaking.

Speaker A (13:21):
Nice. Oh, wow.
And that's where you're most vulnerable,
right?You're sitting on the toilet.
What can you do?

Speaker C (13:29):
I was like, no experiences there.
But I will say the beer was right.

Speaker A (13:37):
See, you got.
Matt got something out.
Hannah got something out.
By the way, shout out to Sarah paranormal in
Pennsylvania.
Check out her podcast and all her things.
She's awesome.
I've had her on the show.
So let me ask you this.
It is Valentine's Day coming up, and I asked
this of all my married couples, I'm not goingto ask you, Matt, if you're getting her

(13:57):
flowers, don't worry about it.
I think flowers are a ripoff, but that's me.

Speaker B (14:02):
They're pretty in my house.

Speaker A (14:05):
So, Hannah, Hannah, if a ghost got into bed with Matt, and let's just say she was
trying things with Matt, being a little cozywith them.
Is that cheating on you?

Speaker C (14:22):
Yeah, it's like that scene in Ghostbusters.

Speaker A (14:25):
Yeah, the scene in Ghostbusters.
If that's happening to Matt.
And he.
Matt, I'm going to put you on the firing line.
And you just allow it.
Matt.

Speaker B (14:38):
It'S pretty, like.
Yeah, that's bad.
Allowing it.

Speaker C (14:45):
You can capture the paranormal event, though.

Speaker B (14:48):
Yeah. I would need, I don't know, pretty concrete proof.
I wasn't, like, on.

Speaker A (14:55):
All right.
All right.
Let's switch it.
Matt, you catch Hannah.
Same thing.

Speaker C (15:03):
Skeptic to care.
I'm just like, well, yeah, I don't think I
appreciate that very much.
I'll be getting out of this apartment, I'll
tell you that.

Speaker B (15:11):
Oh, that's true.
We'd be moving.

Speaker A (15:13):
You'd be moving.
Okay. Yeah.
All right.
I'm just curious, because I've had paranormal
investigators on, and the women have said theywent and sat on a bed, and then all of a
sudden it felt like a man touching them inplaces they shouldn't be touched.

Speaker B (15:32):
Yeah.

Speaker C (15:36):
I think the problem we have with that is I would find that so funny that a
ghost was making moves.

Speaker A (15:42):
Yeah.

Speaker C (15:43):
Making moves that I don't know if I could be mad.

Speaker B (15:46):
It's funny, but I'd also be like, okay.

Speaker C (15:48):
I'd also be like, Hannah, you sure we don't.
What have you, like, do we need to go to thehospital?

Speaker B (15:57):
Yeah, let's go get a test.
That's so bad.

Speaker C (16:00):
I would gaslight the **** out of.

Speaker B (16:01):
You and be like, we don't have a ghost.

Speaker C (16:07):
I would be like.

Speaker B (16:11):
Back into therapy.
I don't think there was anything there.

Speaker C (16:17):
Can you blame me?

Speaker A (16:19):
So I have role playing for you guys on February.
Matt, why don't you get a ghost?Like a Charlie Brown, if you remember Charlie
Brown with all the holes in it, and just comeup to Hannah and just be romantic and see what
happens.

Speaker B (16:36):
Well, we didn't make Valentine's Day plans yet, so maybe it is in the cards.

Speaker A (16:40):
There we go.
Hey, I'm all trying to.
I'm doing a Valentine's Day episode.
I did a Valentine's Day episode last year on
what they call spectrophilia.
Spectrophilia is basically you're in love with
a ghost.
Like, women and men who have relationships
with ghosts, and there's just crazy storieswho women have supposedly married a ghost and

(17:04):
got divorced or had a ghost baby.
It's great stuff.

Speaker C (17:12):
Cars or ghosts.
Small enough.

Speaker B (17:16):
Cars.

Speaker C (17:18):
I've seen that, too.

Speaker A (17:19):
Yeah. Isn't that crazy? I don't know what you do with a car, but okay,
I'll let them.
Hey, if it doesn't hurt anybody so much
better, right?

Speaker C (17:27):
It's a woman that had a relationship with a roller coaster and they
had to keep kicking her out of the park.

Speaker B (17:31):
Oh, that's rough.

Speaker C (17:37):
I wish I remembered whichever one I rant about it.

Speaker B (17:39):
Pretty sure there was a my strange addiction episode with someone who was in love
with their.

Speaker A (17:45):
Oh yeah, that's a real thing.
Yeah, that's a real thing.
Yeah.
People have sex with their car.

Speaker C (17:52):
We've seen Tutan.

Speaker A (17:57):
Anyway, let's move on, shall we? Okay, so on this episode today, we're going to
do a little bit different, my spooky friends,because usually we have paranormal stories or
paranormal guests on and everything.
I'll talk about haunted homes and everything.
We're going to talk about movies.

Speaker C (18:17):
Okay.

Speaker A (18:17):
Because I think they do affect people on how they view the paranormal in
sometimes a bad way.
Because I had a witch, a practicing witch from
the Netherlands on my podcast.
And a lot of people, she said, still view her
from like, I don't know, the movie the WitchBlair witch project where they're evil,

(18:40):
they're looking to do something bad.
And she's nothing like that.
She's very nice, very loving, and she reallylikes know help people out when she does
worship.
She does worship.
She is a satanist.
But again, what Hollywood says are Satanists

(19:01):
is not exactly what you think a real satanistis.
Because I've met some, and they're some of thenicest people you've ever met in your life.
They're not killing babies.
They're not covered in blood in the basement
in a pentagram, having Satan have whateverSatan does with.
No, they're actually sweet people.

(19:23):
Some of the nicest people you ever met in your
life.

Speaker C (19:25):
I recently saw an amazing clip of Satanists.
They went to a searing for whatever state thiswas happening in where they're trying to push
for religion in school or religious servicesin school.

Speaker A (19:40):
Right.

Speaker C (19:40):
Which like, come on.
Separation of church and know.
So the Satanists came and they were like, weare against this movement.
We shouldn't do it.
However, if it passes, we will be there.
We're happy to come in and we will have ourclerics or not clerics, whatever they,
ministers of Satan come in and we're going todo lessons for the kids and all this stuff.
And I loved that because I was like, that'ssuch a good way for them to scare the **** out

(20:05):
of playing on that.
Yeah, playing on playing, but also scare the
**** out of the people that are trying to pushthis bill or whatever.
That is what I think unconstitutional.
Yeah, because they're going to panic.

Speaker A (20:19):
Yeah. So we're going to do different.
And again, if you're in Hollywood, you don'twant to have a really nice satanist story.
Typically you want something to scare people,right?
You want not a nice person walking down thestreet going, hey, how can I help you?

(20:42):
That's a horror movie.
No, doesn't work that way.
So we're going to do different categories Icame up with and then I will get Matt and
Hannah's list.
But one of the things I first have to do is
check my sources.
So I always tell my sources.
So I use three different ones.
There's plenty out there if you want to go and
look at some horror movies, if you haven'tseen them.

(21:04):
By the way, I still feel the Japanese dohorror better than anybody.
I think the Japanese knock it out of the park.
I don't know why, but japanese horror movies
always scare the **** out of me.

Speaker C (21:16):
This is something we've actually talked about on our podcast a lot.
And it's specifically that foreign horror isjust so different because every culture has
different things that scares.
So we always try to highlight when we do our
foreign horror, or I've said before, horrordirected by women, because horror directed by
women, I think, comes from a completelydifferent place of fear.

(21:38):
And absolutely, you really get something likedifferent out of it.
So we're big fans as well.
I know we both have at least one french horror
film on our list also.

Speaker A (21:50):
That's my one.
Absolutely.

Speaker B (21:52):
I have a couple of foreign language movies on my list, I think.

Speaker A (21:56):
Nice. So here's some of the sources I use.
Ranker site, BfI.org, as well as Watchmojo andIMBD.
All of them had different, well, for the mostpart had different lists and different ideas
of what they thought was the best horror movieout.

(22:20):
Oh, I also use Collider too because they hadsome pretty good stuff in there.
So like I said, today we're going to talkabout some of our favorite horror movies and
why we like them.
What makes a good horror movie?
So prepare to be scared and careful.
You never know what's lurking in the shadows.

(22:41):
Okay, that's my bad screen, but it's prettygood.

Speaker C (22:45):
I'd buy it.

Speaker B (22:45):
Yeah, I buy it.

Speaker A (22:46):
Okay. By the way, there are some actresses and actors out there.
I don't know where they learn to scream, butmy God, they just, unbelievable.
Probably did it in post, but that's a wholedifferent thing anyway, so let's get right
into it.
So here's my top five.

(23:07):
Okay, scary movies.
And if you haven't seen these.
Highly recommended.
I'm not going to get into a lot of these, to
be honest with you.
Matt, if you kind of want to add or Hannah
want to add some things to this, please do.
But my first scary movie is the Conjuring.
My second is the Exorcist.
Third one is nightmare on Elm Street.

(23:30):
A nightmare on Elm street.
My next one is Evil Dead.
And last but certainly not least, the ring.
So what do you guys think?
Got a different list.

Speaker C (23:42):
I mean, I have a different list, but I do like this list.

Speaker B (23:45):
Yeah.

Speaker C (23:45):
I think the conjuring at number one is interesting, but I also understand.

Speaker B (23:50):
I have a question.
Is it like an actual rank order of where you
would put them or just in general five thatyou like?

Speaker A (23:59):
Well, that's a great question because I like.
Okay, so I've seen the conjuring like tentimes and I still get scared.
Yeah, I've seen the Exorcist five or sixtimes.
I usually watch it around Halloween.
I do my Halloween marathon where I just get a
bunch of these old and I just watch it.
And then I just watch it in the summertime.

(24:20):
By the way, my favorite time to watch horrormovies is the summertime.
Why, you may ask?Because I kind of leave the windows open.
It's dark out.
You hear the bugs, the cicadas, whatever you
want to call them out there, and it's justright.
I don't know.
It gets me in the mood, so I don't know.

(24:42):
Conjuring, definitely number one.
Exorcist, definitely number two.
And this is where I kind of, I could switcharound, like nightmare on elm Street, Evil
Dead, the ring, I could switch those around,but my top two are still conjuring exorcist.

Speaker C (24:58):
So I love the Conjuring, and we've talked about it on our podcast a lot.
And I think something that that movie does sowell is it has three very distinctly different
acts that I think keep it fresh, where firstone's straightforward haunting, second one's
this happy family drama, and the third actjust goes full on, like almost over the top

(25:18):
action movie in ways where you have PatrickWilson doing the exorcism standing on docked
over closet.
I love it.
It accelerates in a way that really works forme.
I also have given the conjuring props for, Ithink, ushering in a horror movie renaissance
in the 2010s, where I think we went fromhaving the very mean spirited horror movies of

(25:42):
a post 911 America in the kind of getting backinto a, I guess, more narrative focused, a
little more fun out of your horror movies thatwe got in the 2010s.
Big fan of the Conjuring, I think.
It is not my favorite, but I think it led to a
lot of my favorites getting made.

Speaker A (26:01):
Yeah, that's a good point, Hannah.
Anything on conjuring?

Speaker B (26:07):
I definitely agree with everything Matt said.
I think the Conjuring, like you said, I'llwatch it every time and I am scared.
I will scream, I will hide every single time.
And I think that not every movie can make you
do that.
A lot of times you see a movie, it doesn't
affect you the same way the next time.
And the fact that the Conjuring can
consistently make me feel things is a huge winfor me.

(26:31):
And so I don't know if I would put it in mytop five either, but I would put it in my top
ten, probably.
I think it's a standout.

Speaker C (26:38):
It's easily in my, one of the most important horror films of the past two
decades, in my opinion, just in terms ofimportance.
I do love it.

Speaker B (26:47):
I feel like it has great performances, great scares.
Just like.
I hate this word, but the vibes, it's like.
It very much has this aesthetic that I reallyenjoy.

Speaker C (26:58):
Boy, oh, boy, does it make the warrens look good, this movie.
Straight propaganda.

Speaker A (27:06):
It is.

Speaker C (27:07):
I still love it.
Sorry, go ahead.

Speaker A (27:12):
No, I was just going to say my wife doesn't like horror movies and she just
watches them with me in know and stuff.
But there's a scene in there.
Spoiler alert.
There's a scene in there where Lily, I can't
remember the actress's name, but anyway, shegets caught in the basement and all the lights

(27:33):
go off and stuff, and she's sitting there andshe's panicking and stuff, trying to get out
the door, and she can't get out the door.
And then all of a sudden these two hands come
out of nowhere.
Go.

Speaker B (27:46):
That was one that kept me awake for weeks the first time I saw this movie.
And every single time I'll be talking aboutthis movie with someone and I'll look at Matt
and just go, it's so good.
Ten out of ten scare for me.

Speaker C (28:02):
Yeah. So I have to look at these other ones.
I don't know if I can say much about theExorcist.
Everyone knows the Exorcist is a masterpiece.

Speaker B (28:08):
Yeah.

Speaker C (28:09):
What else am I supposed to say? It's great.
It holds up every single time you watch it.
I understand people calling it, like, one of
the scariest movies I've ever.
It's hard to talk about.
We are also, big nightmare on Elm street fansover here.
I think that's what got Hannah into horror.

Speaker B (28:26):
It's what got me into horror movies.
I didn't used to like them until part of theway through college.
And Matt liked horror, so I was like, okay,fine, I'll give it a shot.
And we put on a nightmare on Elm street, and Igot it.

Speaker C (28:41):
So you had a real Eureka moment.

Speaker B (28:42):
It's the first time that I really understood.
And I think that movie, I think it's partiallybecause the concept is so fun.
You have such an iconic villain in Freddy, whoyou like.

Speaker C (28:53):
Yeah, you almost like Freddie more than anybody.
Yeah, she's great.
Freddie is just such a charismatic villain,
even though he's clearly a horrible person.
Horrible.

Speaker B (29:10):
But yeah, nightmare on Elm street is also in my top five.
I love that movie so much, and I feel likeit's important to my.

Speaker C (29:17):
Horror the moment the phone turns into.

Speaker B (29:23):
Top five horror moment for me.

Speaker A (29:25):
Yeah. Now, evil dead.

Speaker C (29:28):
Evil dead.
I was going to ask.
Original or remake?

Speaker A (29:31):
Original.

Speaker C (29:32):
Original. Original, I was going to say.
So I've seen all of them recently for thefirst time, and I very much like it.
I really like that 2014 remake of the EvilDead.
Am I crazy?Are you a fan or.

Speaker A (29:46):
No, it's okay.
So I'm a huge.
The actor in Evil Dead and Army of Darkness,evil Dead to the trilogy of movies.
His name is Bruce Campbell.
I've met him twice.
He's an outstanding person.
I love the guy to death.
He's actually sent me emails when I reachedout to him just to ask him some questions, and

(30:08):
he sent me an autograph copy of himself.
And it's not like the assistant wrote it.
He actually wrote out a message on it.
I'm sorry.
I just love the guy to death every time I methim.

Speaker C (30:21):
I love the first one.
I think I liked all of them.
I watched all five.
I was just, I think, very impressed with that
remake or whatever calling.
It's more of a sequel anyway.

Speaker B (30:32):
But remakes that work actually work.

Speaker C (30:36):
So I wanted to be a little divisive and talk about it, but no, I like that a lot.
I don't even know if I can rank them.
I think I like this.
The second one might be my favorite, butthere's something magical about that low
budget in the first one and just that.
Absolutely.
I think the ending shot of that movie reallysticks in my head of the camera just running

(30:56):
along the ground through the house.
The door bursts open and then goes right into
them.
Loved it.

Speaker A (31:01):
Yeah, it's awesome.

Speaker C (31:02):
I really like that.

Speaker A (31:03):
And then the ring.
What do you think?
So this one, this is an americanized version.
I'm doing the american version because I think
most people know this one rather than theJapanese.

Speaker C (31:18):
I don't love it.
It's fine.

Speaker B (31:19):
I didn't see it until like a year or two ago because again, my horror journey is
definitely shorter than Matt's.
So I was like, I feel like I need to see this.
And so we watched it together, and I think Ikind of left with just like, there were
moments that definitely scared me.

(31:41):
But overall, I like a movie that makes me feel
a lot, whether that is fear, discomfort,disgust.
I like my horror movies to really elicit areaction from me.
And I don't feel like the ring does thatstrongly for me.

(32:04):
But I've only seen it once and I definitelyneed to rewatch.
And I really want to read the book that Ringuand the ring are based off of because I feel
like that will definitely.

Speaker C (32:16):
The book is more of a mystery with a movie and kind of goes horror from my
understanding.
Okay, that's my understanding.
Oh, no, I'm just saying I feel like when youwatch the movie, the mystery elements are
there and then it just gets confusing, andthen you're like, am I supposed to be scared?
Am I trying to solve this?And it's just like, it's fine.
I understand.

(32:37):
I think it also kind of shaped a generation a
little bit, but it just never did it for me.
I've never seen Ringu, though, so that's a
mistake on my end.
And I'd like to.

Speaker B (32:46):
I will say the Samara coming out of the tv is, oh, it's fantastic.
Disgusting.

Speaker A (32:52):
Absolutely.
So anything you guys, before we move on,
anything you guys want to add to this as faras your favorites.

Speaker C (33:02):
I'll go quick because we talked about a lot, but do you want me to go?
We'll go oldest to newest.
So I have the Texas Chainsaw massacre also, my
top fives are going to change weekly, but thisis what I'm feeling right now.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre is immaculate piece ofamerican filmmaking.

(33:25):
Absolutely.
I'll just say it that much.
That movie is amazing.
And I think that that ending shot of our final
girl in the car, covered in blood, screaming,and it's like very clear this person's life is
never going to be the same again.
I can't say enough about that movie.
And it's so good.
We covered it.
So you can come listen there.

(33:47):
Scream.
I love Wes craven.

Speaker A (33:49):
Sure.

Speaker C (33:50):
Scream, I think, was.
I saw it when I was very young.
It's one that I watched with my mom.
We saw scream four on Easter Sunday in
theaters back in the day.

Speaker A (33:58):
Love it.

Speaker C (34:00):
That franchise really just means a lot to me.
And I think that first movie, it's so fun andfunny and scary.
It just hits everything for me.
Then if we're going in order, I think raw.
I don't know if you ever heard of it.
Raw is a french horror movie that.

Speaker A (34:14):
I want everybody to heard of it.
Have not watched it yet.
It's on my list.

Speaker C (34:19):
It is a coming of age cannibalism story about a girl that is a vegetarian that
goes to vet school and is forced to eat meatfor the first time.
And then she gets addicted to it and startscraving people meat.

Speaker A (34:31):
Right? Yeah.

Speaker C (34:33):
Is fantastic.

Speaker A (34:34):
Cool.

Speaker C (34:35):
It hits all the levels of let's not just be a horror genre film, let's be this
coming of age story.
I also said directed by a woman.
So I think you get a whole different lensbecause absolutely.
After that midsummer, that movie leaves mesmiling from ear to ear.
By the end, that's a weird reaction.
Everything comes together in such a way that

(34:56):
just completely makes sense.
And it's like they've built.
It's 3 hours long, I think, right?Or two and a half.

Speaker A (35:01):
Yeah.

Speaker C (35:01):
They built all these things together to make it just be this perfect,
amazing ending.
And it's scary.
It's interesting.
And then lastly, most recent on my list.
I just watched this movie and it is probablythe scariest movie I've seen in five years.
And it was skin of marink that just came outand I have that in my top five.

(35:21):
Some people hate it.
I loved it because I had not had something
that made me want to turn it off in a longtime, if that makes sense.
Wow.

Speaker A (35:29):
Yeah.

Speaker C (35:29):
It was endurance test.
I was like, I can't watch this anymore.
And I just had to power through and I got up,movie ended and I stepped on a dog toy and I
screamed.

Speaker A (35:39):
Yes.

Speaker C (35:40):
Which is very unlike me and hammock.

Speaker B (35:42):
That I do not get worked up like that.
It's always me.

Speaker C (35:47):
And it was made for $15,000 by like one.
It's really scary.
The narrative is basically nonexistent.
But it doesn't matter because it just made mewant to curl up into a ball and turn the tv
off.

Speaker A (36:03):
Nice.

Speaker B (36:05):
It's also different.
My list.
Oh, I don't think we have any in.

Speaker C (36:12):
It's so hard to say a top five all time.

Speaker B (36:14):
Yeah. These aren't in any particular order, but I love a nightmare on
Elm street.
Like, we discuss.
I love the witch.
I think aesthetically it's amazing.
I think the performances are really good and Ifeel like the first time I saw it, I felt so
much suspense and tension the whole time.

(36:35):
Like my chest hurt because I was just waiting
and waiting and waiting for something tohappen.
Doesn't mean anything really does.
But I feel like the emotions that it elicited
from me is like, what I look for.
So I loved it.
I feel like it's very stylized in a way that Ireally enjoy.
I also love Barbarian, which came out.

Speaker A (37:01):
I don't know about that.

Speaker B (37:06):
For me.
I kept seeing the trailers and I was like, no,
I don't know why I want to see this.
It doesn't look that stand out.

Speaker A (37:15):
Me too.

Speaker B (37:16):
And then another friend of ours was like, oh, I also want to see that.
So we went to theaters and obviously thatmovie has a plot twist from hell.
Like you're kind of getting one story and thenyou just get this completely other story,
which I thought was really fun.
I think they mixed in the humor in a really
solid way to give you that levity from all ofthe tension that you're getting.

(37:40):
I also just feel like it is a good take on alot of female anxiety or things that cause me
as a woman, stress.
So for me, there were pieces of it like that
that touched closer to home than it maybewould for someone else, like a man.

Speaker C (38:00):
I'll also say I really like that movie.
I thought I was going to pull a hamstring inthe theater during some of the.

Speaker B (38:06):
I kept threatening to walk off.
I was like, I'm leaving, I'm leaving.

Speaker C (38:10):
I could understand why when twist happens and the plot completely changes, that
people would be turned away.
For me, it's just another example of a movie
accelerating into just like madness.
It was started so simple and then all of a
sudden the scale keeps getting bigger.
It keeps getting just stranger until you're
going at 100 mph into the crates.

(38:33):
I really enjoy it.

Speaker B (38:35):
I would also say the babadook, that that is a beautiful telling of the impact of
grief and trauma and loss.
I really like movies that kind of have that
mental health thematic element that are donein a respectful way.
And that movie scares the **** out of me.

Speaker C (38:57):
That's going to be on one of my lists later.

Speaker B (39:01):
I was toying with a lot of things here, so I'm just going to go with hereditary
just because I think my opinions on that havevery much like, the enjoyment I get from it
very much has changed over time.
The first time I saw hereditary, I was like,
I'm going to throw up.
I can't do this.
I don't want to be here.
And that night I was like, I'm not scared to

(39:22):
go to sleep, but I just feel so uncomfortablethat I just can't.
I again think that's one that elicits a lot ofemotion and feeling.

Speaker A (39:33):
Absolutely.

Speaker B (39:33):
And so it works really well for me.

Speaker C (39:36):
She said, I think the biggest selling point is she was like, I'm never
watching that movie again.

Speaker B (39:41):
I wouldn't for several years, which tells.

Speaker C (39:43):
You it's a good horror movie.

Speaker B (39:44):
It took me a couple of years and I looked at that and I said, I think I'm ready.

Speaker A (39:51):
I love it.

Speaker B (39:52):
I think I can appreciate something that makes me feel something so viscerally
that I can't watch it.
And I also think that that really does the
thematic elements I'm really interested in,like that explanation, loss, mental health, et
cetera.

Speaker C (40:09):
There's a lot of fun themes in that.
We also covered that one.

Speaker A (40:13):
Yes. Check that out, my spooky friends.
So let's move on.
Keep it moving.
I'm a sucker for funny, scary movies.
Those are my jam.
So I'm going to go through this really quicklybecause some people like them and some people
like, I just want to be scared.

(40:34):
Right.
So army of darkness, that's what the Evil Deadtrilogy, I've seen that movie.
I'm not kidding you 50 times.
And I laugh my *** off 50 times.
I just love it.
What we do in the shadows was, to me, pure
genius because Taiki Watiti, whatever his nameis, took these vampires and did a documentary

(40:59):
on it.
And there's so many silly, funny things.
One of my favorite scenes in any movie is oneof the vampires is talking to this woman he
just picked up and she's talking about herlife.
Oh, I'm going to go travel and I'm going toget married.
I'm going to have kids.

(41:20):
Let me get a house.
And he's just like, he's going to eat her andshe's going to be Dead in like 5 seconds.
He's just sitting there and you see hischaracter just really uncomfortable that he
has to eat her.
This woman has all these dreams and she's
going to die.
That's my dark humor.
So I don't know.

Speaker B (41:40):
Show at all.

Speaker A (41:41):
Yes, I love the show.
So we've actually.

Speaker C (41:45):
You've never seen the movie, right?

Speaker B (41:46):
I haven't seen.

Speaker C (41:47):
We only watch the show, but I.

Speaker B (41:49):
Have seen the show.
The concept is brilliant and I know, they have
the same central concept.
So it's genius.

Speaker A (41:57):
It's brilliant.
I will say about the movie, it does drag in
some places because they have to set up thevampire, how vampires work.
And I'm kind of like.
People know that.
I don't think you have to set up like theyhave to feed.
You know what I'm saying?You could have skipped all that.

(42:19):
I think people get that right.
The Toxic Avenger, the original, there's a new
one coming out with.
Oh, shoot, the guy from Game of Thrones.
And I can't remember the small person.

Speaker B (42:37):
Is it Rob Stark or is it.

Speaker A (42:41):
No, it's Peter Dinklage.
He is going to be playing a toxic avenger.
The trailer's out.
It looks really silly and really funny.
If you haven't seen the original, that wasdone by trauma or trauma films, which does
crazy stuff.

(43:02):
I mean, low budget.
They just do weird horror movies.
Weird movies.
Definitely.
Check it out.
Happy Death Day is one of my favorites.
You guys probably familiar with this one?
Have you seen this one?

Speaker C (43:16):
Yeah, it's on my.

Speaker A (43:21):
I have a. Then I have a really quick tie.
Tucker and Dale versus evil, which is sosilly, it's ridiculous.
And then Shaun of the Dead, the same thing.
If you're looking to have a good laugh, look
at horror tropes and cliches and stuff, watchthese movies and you'll just get a kick out of
it.
It will make you laugh because you're like,

(43:42):
yeah, pretty much every horror movie has this.
So what do you guys have?
Do you guys watch any of these movies or doyou have any movies you like to add?

Speaker C (43:52):
Yeah, I've seen army of Darkness.
Like I said, I watched all the evil Dead
movies, but I have on mine Evil Dead twoinstead of army of darkness.

Speaker A (44:00):
Oh, sure.

Speaker C (44:01):
Now.

Speaker A (44:01):
Yeah.

Speaker C (44:02):
Similarly funny.
I think when you watch all these in a row,
I've only seen them once.
I watched them all for the first time.
I ended up liking two more, and maybe it wasbecause two still was, like, scary and funny,
where army of darkness just went straight all.

Speaker A (44:20):
Yeah.

Speaker C (44:20):
And so I think that's where it sits for me.
But I still enjoyed it.

Speaker A (44:25):
And.

Speaker C (44:25):
Yeah, happy death day.
That's on mine.
That's a really fun film.

Speaker A (44:28):
Yeah, it's a real fun movie.

Speaker C (44:30):
I've not seen Tucker and Dale, but it's been requested that we cover it.
So at some point, I think in one of theseseasons we'll be covering that one.

Speaker B (44:39):
What else is on your list?

Speaker C (44:40):
Oh, I got what we got here.
I said evil Dead two.
Happy death day.
I got scream, one of my favorites.
We're going to horror comedy.
It's a horror satire.

Speaker A (44:49):
Yeah, it's a horror satire.
It's great.

Speaker C (44:52):
It's funny.
The performances are great.
You got Matthew Lillard.

Speaker B (44:56):
All right.
Love him.

Speaker C (44:57):
There's a musical now for it, which was my idea, and somebody stole, man.
They did like a jukebox musical for it,though, where they're just taking existing
songs.
I want to write all original music.

Speaker B (45:09):
They changed.

Speaker C (45:10):
I don't care existing.
I'm going to get in a legal battle and write
cabin in the woods, which, if you love horrormovies, I feel like you're just going to enjoy
cabin in the woods.
I mean, if you love evil dead, you should love
cabin in the woods.

Speaker A (45:27):
Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker C (45:29):
And finally, I know Hannah has this one too, is bodies, bodies, bodies, which came
out a year ago.
Two years.

Speaker A (45:35):
Yeah, yeah.
What's that about?

Speaker C (45:39):
Yeah, very much worth a watch.
It's funny, it's scary.
We'll tickle.
We're, I guess Gen Z sort of.
So we're on the cusp.
Yeah.

Speaker B (45:50):
Right.
In that year where it's like, I don't know
where you guys fit.
That's where we think it very much captures
young person, dipshit culture.

Speaker C (45:59):
Yeah, it makes me brain.

Speaker A (46:01):
Yeah, right, exactly.

Speaker B (46:03):
Mine has overlap.
The cabin in the woods scream.
Bodies, bodies, bodies are all overlap withMatt.
And then I really like creep, which is a low.

Speaker A (46:16):
Oh, creep.

Speaker B (46:17):
Yeah, I like creep footage.

Speaker C (46:18):
Yeah, we'll call him that.
A comedy too.

Speaker B (46:20):
Sort of funny.
And the second is like pure comedy.
I really liked the menu from 2022.

Speaker A (46:30):
Right.
Love the menu.

Speaker B (46:31):
Yeah, I love Ray finds.
He is so talented.
Anya Taylor Joy.
Love her.

Speaker C (46:37):
That movie is the form of that movie makes it so funny too.
The title cards.
What's the character's name?
Tyler.
Yeah, Tyler's bullshit.
The way that is set up, I think reallybrilliant.
It's like not openly trying to be funny, butevery shot is set up or every form of the film

(46:58):
is trying to make you laugh.

Speaker A (46:59):
Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker C (47:01):
Spoilers.
But he wins them into s'mores at the end.

Speaker A (47:05):
And it's incredible.

Speaker C (47:07):
Putting soft cut hats on all the people's heads.

Speaker A (47:10):
It's just brilliant.
It's just such a comment on, just without
getting too much into it, comment on societyand life and to a certain point, your dreams,
like, is this.
You sure you want to do this kind of attitude?
Like, is this worth the cost?Right?

Speaker B (47:32):
Yeah.

Speaker A (47:32):
There's a scene in there where not to give it too much away because it's one of
my favorite scenes in the movie where Ralphfinds is talking to one of his prodigies.
And basically guys like, this sucks.
I don't want to be here.
I thought it was going to be great, but itsucks.

Speaker B (47:54):
Yes.

Speaker A (47:57):
All right, so let's go to top five.
Mess up your mind.
This is one of my favorites scary movies.
Okay, so let's start with by far the best, in
my opinion, mess with your mind.
Seven.
If you not have seen seven, you're crazy.
Go out and you got to see it.

Speaker B (48:20):
It's also my list.

Speaker A (48:22):
Awesome.
The human centipede.
If you really want to mess your mind up.
Yes.
American psycho.
Brilliant.
And if you want to get two movies that youwill question reality.
Jacob's ladder and get out.

(48:44):
So what do you guys think?

Speaker C (48:46):
Oh, we're all in on seven.

Speaker B (48:48):
All in on thinking.
At first I was thinking either get out or us.
I think us kind of messed with my mind morethe first time, but I ended up pulling that
from my list.
Although now I'm not so sure.
I might put it american psycho definitelyagreed.

(49:10):
Like, the first time I watched that, I waslike, what the f. Human Centipede.
I just don't know.

Speaker C (49:16):
I've never seen it.

Speaker B (49:17):
I don't want to.

Speaker C (49:19):
I think it was one that came out at a time where we were too young when it came
out to see it, so we ended up missing.
So there's too many great movies out there.
So I'm not going to see everything I know ofJacob's ladder and I've actually never seen
that one either.
But that's a blind spot.

Speaker A (49:34):
Yeah, human centipede, really quick.
I'm sorry to interrupt you, Matt, but humancentipede, what I love about it is, spoiler
alert, half the movie is the doctor tellingthe people what he's going to do to them.
So he's like, I'm going to do this and I'mgoing to do that.
I'm going to go here, I'm going to make you dothis.

(49:56):
And people are like, is he serious?Is he really going to do that?
Because that's ****** up.
And then you learn, oh, my God, he's really
going to do this.
And that's the tension, right?
You're like, oh, my God, get out of there,people.
And they try to escape.
Spoiler alert.
And they can't get out.
They try their best to try to leave and

(50:18):
everything, and they can't get out of thisterrible, terrible place they are at.
And Jacob's ladder is something that basicallysays, okay, you want to get messed up and you
want to see what people's lives look like whenthey're involved.
And it was really strange in the sense now wewould call it PTSD.

(50:43):
That's what Tim Robbins character had.
But it's so messed up that you're just like
that poor guy.
And then my favorite line that I always say,
if you've seen seven, every time I get a box,I say the same thing, and my wife is sick of
it.
What's in the box?
Tell me what's in the box?And my wife.

Speaker C (51:04):
Brad Pitt, so talented.
I have this debate all the time where it's,
he's just too handsome, so he doesn't get theroles he's best at.
He's not a good leading man.
He's so good at this type of character, this
messed up character, kind of like a goofycharacter, a bit actor.
I'm thinking glorious bastards, but he's justa little too hot that he ends up.

(51:28):
Everyone wants to make him the leading man,and I don't think he wants to be that.
Give me more of this.
This might be his best performance.
Although inglorious bastards is hard to beat.

Speaker B (51:40):
Yeah.

Speaker A (51:41):
So what do you guys.
What do you guys think?

Speaker B (51:47):
Yeah, go for your.

Speaker C (51:48):
Where. What do I got on here? So I had seven.
I had four other ones, though.
I think I was just trying to be fun.
So I threw midsummer on there because thatmovie, definitely, if you've seen it, you
know, and I had to throw Ariance's other filmon there, hereditary, because once again, we
know we've talked about other ones.
It is going to makes me feel a lot of things.

(52:09):
Makes my brain hurt a little bit.
And then we put Watcher.
You had watcher as well, right?

Speaker B (52:14):
Yeah.

Speaker C (52:18):
Okay. Watcher.
That was upsetting.

Speaker B (52:21):
It's also very much about female anxiety and what it is like to exist in the
world as a woman and have these fears anddiscomforts about being alone or being
watched.

Speaker C (52:33):
It's about a woman that thinks, yeah, a guy across the street is watching her
and trying to kill her, and no one believesher.
And it just really gets under your skinbecause of that.
And you could put yourself in that samesituation.
Lastly, I had possessor, which was BrandonCronenberg's.
Right.
Yeah.
I don't know how to describe that withoutspoiling it all.

(52:55):
It's about assassins that take over otherpeople's brains to carry out the assassination
in their body and do murder.

Speaker A (53:01):
Awesome idea.

Speaker C (53:02):
And it's really cool movie.
Really fun premise.
And when I think of messing up your brain.
It's where I get scared to be in that position
myself.
And I just start staying up at night thinking
about what if that were me?And that's why I got that on there.
So highly recommend.
What do you got, Anna?

Speaker B (53:19):
I have most of the same movies you did because we talked about this one out loud.
So I have seven midsummer hereditary andwatcher as well.
And then I changed and I put us since we justtalked about that because I remember leaving
the theaters after seeing us.
That stuck with me after I will say I haven't

(53:39):
seen Tusk and I feel like if I. Yeah, Ihaven't seen Tusk either.
That would have to be on the list, like justwatching a trailer.

Speaker A (53:49):
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah. That is awesome.

Speaker C (53:54):
I know people are going to be mad that we haven't seen everything, but hopefully
we'll cover it at some point.

Speaker B (53:57):
Well, that's part of our journey, too.

Speaker C (54:01):
I've seen so many horror movies and been like, hand, you have to see this.
And then there's still stuff where it's like,you know what?
I never got to that one.

Speaker B (54:08):
Yeah. Eventually, slackers, we need to take off like a week of work and just watch
all of the things that are like.

Speaker A (54:14):
We should absolutely be able to get.

Speaker C (54:16):
To all of them.

Speaker A (54:17):
Absolutely.
So are you guys familiar with the rock artist
or heavy metal artist Rob zombie?

Speaker C (54:25):
Yes.

Speaker A (54:26):
Okay. Rob Zombie, as you know, has done some crazy stuff.
My personal favorite is House of a thousandcorpses and the devil's rejects.
Very like, man, that kind of falls into themovie that we just talked about.

(54:47):
But he has every single horror movie on DVD.
Videotape or laserdisc, every single one in
his house.
He has a room about the size of pretty much
everybody's living room general.
And he opens these doors.

(55:09):
He's got these two crazy, ornate, evil lookingdoors, and he opens them up, and there's just
these movies far as that I can see, and hejust grabs a videotape, which is like,
videotape?What the hell?
But he'll grab a videotape.
Yeah, it'll be like nuns of the dead.

(55:30):
I've seen that one five times.
And he goes through all the movies.
He's a movie file.
And he just goes, oh, I've seen nuns of the
dead and sacrifice virgins from hell.
And he'll bring all these movies up and I'm
like, wow, that guy must be really messed up.
Maybe he's a nice guy.
I don't know.

Speaker B (55:47):
That's my dream, to have that with movies.
And then I have another library.

Speaker C (55:52):
Yeah, we didn't get a good start.
We don't buy any print media anymore.
I guess we should.

Speaker B (55:58):
Yeah, we're bad about that.
You don't have a dvd player, so we're kind of.

Speaker A (56:07):
Yes, absolutely.
So let's go on to top five movies that you
won't sleep for a week.
This is my list.
Hereditary.
The Babadook, Rosemary's baby.
I don't know why that affected me.
I still don't know why.
But whatever ring you.

(56:27):
That's the japanese version, which Matt hasn't
seen, which I highly recommend.
And the vanishing.
This is the 1988 foreign version, I believeit's a french version, if I remember
correctly.
All these movies, especially the vanishing,
where have you guys seen the vanishing at all?

Speaker C (56:48):
I have not.

Speaker A (56:49):
Okay, so the vanishing as a married couple would scare the **** out of you because
what happens, it's such a basic movie, it'scrazy that they make it scary.
So the french version is a million timesbetter than the remade american version with
Kurt Russell.
Anyway, so what happens is this guy, his car

(57:12):
breaks down, he goes to a gas station to talkto somebody.
Hey, I think he just needs gas or whatever.
He comes back and his wife is gone.
So he thinks, oh, my wife just maybe gotscared.
And she walked down to whatever, but it keepsbuilding.
He keeps asking people, have you seen my wife?And people are like, no. And he's like, well,

(57:34):
okay.
And he keeps going, he keeps building.
And people are like, you don't have a wife.
And he's like, what do you mean?
He goes, no, you're not married.
And he's like, what?
No. And people screw with his head.
And then he's like, to a point where he starts
to realize, wait a minute, these guys who are******** with my head kidnapped my wife.

(57:57):
So I got to figure out how to get my wifeback.
And the ending is not what you want.
It is not.

Speaker C (58:07):
This sounds like this should have been on the mesh with your head list.

Speaker B (58:10):
Oh, that's true.
Sounds like the plot of a lot of thrillers
that I read.

Speaker A (58:15):
Yes.

Speaker B (58:16):
So I'd be super into it.
It's now on my.

Speaker A (58:22):
Right.
I'm not doing it justice.
They build it so well that you're just like,oh, my God, they're lying to you.
And he's just like, okay.
You're just screaming at the tv.
They're lying to you.

Speaker B (58:40):
A movie for mess up your mind, blonde girl.
No, he's.

Speaker A (58:48):
Had.

Speaker B (58:49):
Sure, something by David.
Blanche needs to be on there.
I feel like just, like, broke my brain in away that was so visceral.
But my won't sleep for week movies.
We have some overlap there.
I have hereditary and the Babadook on my list.

(59:09):
I also have the conjuring.
The first time I saw that, I believe I livedalone at the time.
So I would just be, like, in bed and justhearing that.
Or I'd, like, look up at my dresser and expectsomeone to jump down from my dresser.
Like that scene with the armoire.
So those really got me.

(59:31):
In high school, I saw mama, which is, like,not.

Speaker A (59:35):
Oh, right.

Speaker C (59:39):
Nobody remembers mom.

Speaker B (59:40):
Don't remember that.
But high school me, it scared Jesus out of me.
And it's still one of those things that when Itry and sleep, sometimes I see the face of
Mama in the shape my head.
I don't have the kind of brain that creates
pictures, but I still manage to createpictures of her.
And then I'd also say wreck, which is aspanish language found footage movie, which

(01:00:07):
is.

Speaker A (01:00:09):
Check that one out.
Go ahead.

Speaker C (01:00:12):
Sorry.
There's an american remake called quarantine
that came out longer, and I haven't seen thatone, but I've seen wreck.
And I agree with.

Speaker B (01:00:24):
Lot.

Speaker A (01:00:25):
I give you credit, Hannah, with Mama.
That freaked me out, too, especially thebeginning, where hopefully it's the same one
we're talking about, where it's the cabin inthe woods and those two little girls have been
left there.
And the person goes in, and the little girls
are, like, scattering along like littleinsects.
They're like.

(01:00:45):
I'm like, ****.

Speaker C (01:00:49):
There's, like, ten people that are listening right now that have seen that movie.
And they're like, oh, I can't believe they'rehaving a brain right now.
And I'll be like, I forgot about that.

Speaker B (01:00:56):
Yeah, that one.
It was also, like, I didn't watch horror
movies in high school.
Like, if you put on Coraline, I would cry, let
alone you still would.
That's true.
And I saw Mama in theaters with some friends,and I was like, of course I'm going to go.
I'm not that big of a chicken.
And so I think because I saw it in theaters
and, like, lived right near some.

(01:01:18):
Yeah, it was bad for me, but, yeah.

Speaker C (01:01:21):
All right.

Speaker B (01:01:22):
What's your.

Speaker C (01:01:24):
John, I like your gotta.
I gotta differentiate.
I gotta throw my own out there, so.

Speaker A (01:01:29):
Yes, please.

Speaker C (01:01:30):
First one is Skinham rink.
Bringing that up again.
I did actually have nightmares, which I wassurprised by, but I haven't had nightmares
from movies in a long time.
And I thought that would have been the one,
but I think I just maybe have outgrown that.
We'll see.
But that movie had me pretty shook.
I have the Babadook on there because when I
did watch that, I remember not being able tosleep that night.

(01:01:53):
I don't think there's another one I watchedwith my mom, and I'm pretty sure she felt the
same way.
We both were like, we didn't get sleep that
night after the first time seeing that, whichI've talked to some people and they think that
one's dumb.
And I was like, I don't understand.
Sure.
I also have rec on my list.
It's great.
Anyone hasn't seen it.

(01:02:13):
It's about a late night news anchor.
It's not even anchor.
She's like some.
I was going to say peasant in the news anchor
world.

Speaker A (01:02:23):
No.

Speaker C (01:02:23):
What word am I looking for? She's low left video journalist, but clearly
she's been put on the night shift of go withthis fire department and do this be real
documentary on them.
And she ends up going along with them where
they respond to some weird thing happening ina building.
And then she gets quarantined with the firedepartment inside the building because there's

(01:02:43):
an outbreak of something.
It's found footage.
So it's all shot from, like, her.

Speaker B (01:02:51):
Okay.

Speaker C (01:02:52):
Yeah, I'll check this out.
So another foreign language one, the wailing,
which is a south korean film.
I don't know to how describe it, other than
this movie is just evil.
It has a lot of evil.
There's a lot of.
How do I even describe it?
You saw it.

Speaker B (01:03:11):
I remember it that well.
It wasn't as impressionable to me as.

Speaker C (01:03:14):
It was for you.
It's good.
It messed me up.
And this one's really silly, but it has to go
on here.
The last one is signs, purely.

Speaker A (01:03:22):
Okay.

Speaker C (01:03:22):
Purely for that one scene that everyone who's seen knows, which is where
they're at the birthday party.
They're watching the news of the birthday
party in Mexico, and you just see this alienwalk across the screen.
And it's one that is just burned into mybrain.
I can see it exactly how it was, and I feelthe way I felt the first time I saw it.

(01:03:43):
And it's like panic.

Speaker B (01:03:45):
I don't do well with alien stuff.

Speaker C (01:03:48):
That movie is also, overall, that movie is not that scary.
It's a very good time.
But that scene is pea pants scary as we like
to.

Speaker A (01:03:59):
So here's.
Here's.
I'm going to do some quick fire questions foryou guys while we're wrapping up here.
Quick fire, and I'll start with this.
Matt.
Hannah, have you ever peed your pants watchinga horror movie?

Speaker C (01:04:13):
I haven't.

Speaker B (01:04:14):
I haven't peed my pants, but I've been worried I would pee my pants.

Speaker A (01:04:19):
Got you.
Yeah, I got you.

Speaker C (01:04:21):
Peed your pants on the Spiderman riding.

Speaker B (01:04:23):
I peed my pants in line for a ride at universal because I was really a dribble.
It wasn't like a fool.

Speaker A (01:04:31):
Okay, so was it know?

Speaker B (01:04:34):
No, I've never needed to change my pants.

Speaker A (01:04:37):
Okay. It wasn't like soaking.

Speaker B (01:04:38):
It was like a little fear dribble.
But I haven't gotten that from watching a
movie.

Speaker A (01:04:44):
Okay, next question.
Have you ever screamed out loud in a movie
theater when no one else is screaming and feltembarrassed?

Speaker B (01:04:52):
Oh, definitely.

Speaker A (01:04:53):
Yeah.

Speaker C (01:04:53):
I wouldn't say I felt embarrassed.

Speaker B (01:04:55):
Yeah, maybe.
But, I mean, we just saw night swim, and I
still managed.
That was not a good movie.
Not a good movie.
And there was still a scene or two where I did
scream out loud.
And then I was like, I hate myself for that.
But it got me.
Can't help it.

Speaker A (01:05:13):
Okay, have you, either one of you, when you've been sleeping in bed, have had a
nightmare and punched the other person in theface?

Speaker C (01:05:21):
Yes, you punched me.
Right.

Speaker B (01:05:25):
Punched.

Speaker A (01:05:25):
Okay.

Speaker B (01:05:26):
I don't think it was from a nightmare, but I actively, the other night,
very dramatically freaked out and then startedbacking up into you.

Speaker C (01:05:38):
You were screaming, too.

Speaker B (01:05:40):
Yeah, that one was bad.

Speaker C (01:05:41):
Yeah, that scared me.
She woke up, like, yelling, and I.

Speaker A (01:05:44):
Was like, you're okay.

Speaker C (01:05:44):
I had to grab her.
Yeah, that was funny.

Speaker B (01:05:47):
I think I had a little sleep paralysis, to be fair.

Speaker A (01:05:50):
Yes. Sleep paralysis is no fun.
I did an episode on the hat man, which is
typically seen in sleep paralysis.

Speaker C (01:06:00):
Take a lot of Benadryl.
That's what we're saying.

Speaker A (01:06:01):
You take a lot of Benadryl.
That works.
Okay, last question.
Matt, I will start with you.
If you were to write a horror movie, whatwould it be about?

Speaker C (01:06:13):
Oh, my God. If I were to write a horror movie, do you have an I would.

Speaker B (01:06:19):
I know you asked him, but I'll intervene and say for a long time, as Matt
mentioned earlier, we discussed writing ascream musical, which was my idea.
So it was kind of sad to see that there wasthe scream parody musical in Vegas, because I
was like, no, I was going to do this.
No, I don't have the musical talent to make

(01:06:39):
this happen.
I was determined.
So that was the idea that I had for a longtime, because I love musicals and I love
scream and I just feel like it can't be enoughthat the combo works.
But in terms of a legit horror movie, I feellike mine would have to be something in the

(01:07:01):
same vein of, again, like I've mentionedtalking about either something mental health
or trauma based.
Or again, the anxiety of being a woman in this
world, I feel like, is always really impactfulfor me.
So I don't have a plot off hand, but I knowultimately the themes.

Speaker C (01:07:22):
I think the route I need to go has to be probably not paranormal.
Slightly.
It's the feeling of the home invasion.
One of the scariest images for me would be tostanding at a window and looking like you live
in a suburb on a cul de sac and someone juststanding, like it's just a shadow.

(01:07:44):
Just like staring at the window, not moving,and you're just stuck just, like, looking at
that, whatever it is.
I don't know, but I feel like that's the.
And maybe every time they're closer, theymove, they get in the house eventually.
I think that's the route I would go.
That's the basis of it.
But it would be just something watching.
You don't know what it is, whether it's that

(01:08:04):
threat or not, but it continues to come closerand you're kind of just stuck.

Speaker B (01:08:08):
That sounds, like, insidious.

Speaker C (01:08:10):
I think I'd have it be a kid home alone.
Parents are out to dinner and they're checkingthe window, and they just keep seeing this
figure and it moves.

Speaker B (01:08:17):
And then they're walking the doors by the end of the movie.
Is the thing real or like.

Speaker C (01:08:24):
That's a good question.
We don't know.
I feel like it should be a paranormal thing.
It's not going to be a real person.

Speaker B (01:08:32):
Okay.

Speaker C (01:08:32):
But I don't know.
It's a shadow monster of some sort.

Speaker A (01:08:37):
I like that.
I like both your ideas.
Let's call Blumhouse and see what they'relooking at and get that going.

Speaker C (01:08:45):
Our buddy wrote Malignant two for them and pitched it on one of our episodes.
So maybe we should go with that or.
So it's malignant 2000.

Speaker A (01:08:54):
I love it.
Absolutely love it.
So you guys could talk to you for hours, andI'd love to have you back on the show.
We can talk about more movies, maybe do someHalloween themes or something like that.
If you guys would be up for that.
That would be awesome.

Speaker C (01:09:09):
We appreciate you having fun.

Speaker A (01:09:11):
Yeah. Oh, no problem.
So let me ask you this.
What are you guys coming up?What are you guys looking at here?
That my spooky friends can check out.

Speaker B (01:09:21):
We just started a new series called Movie Wreck Monday.
So we're still doing our normal Wednesdayepisodes where we're just like talking,
reviewing a movie.
But movie Wreck Monday is a new series
specifically where we're going to talk forlike 1015 minutes, spoiler free.
About movies you might not have seen or heardof that are not as frequently discussed or

(01:09:46):
reviewed, but we think everyone should see.
So a couple of the movies we actually talked
about in this episode, like raw or creep, areactually some of the episodes that we've
released on that, and we're going to keepdoing that.
Some other fun main episodes we're going to dois horror in non horror media, like things

(01:10:08):
like Jurassic park, that's not horror, butlike Spiderman, two horror elements, or
Spiderman Sam Rammy.
So you definitely get that horror theming with
Doc Ock.
So that'll be a fun one coming up.

Speaker C (01:10:21):
But overall, we got episodes every Wednesday, all kinds of movies.
We got a backlog of stuff now where socialmedia stuff.

Speaker B (01:10:29):
You could find us on TikTok and Instagram at four hour with the Hannah's.
And our episodes are published on Spotify,Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, the
whole.

Speaker A (01:10:44):
It love it love.
You know, I have a feeling one of these days I
want to pull a good prank on you guys.
I'm going to try to figure that out.
Like maybe come home and, like a monsterchases you around for an hour and I videotape,
I put it on.

Speaker B (01:11:00):
Live and I will pee my pants.

Speaker A (01:11:04):
Okay, so we end every show by, say, we say hi to your ghost.
Hello, Ghost.
Because you might have a ghost in there.

Speaker C (01:11:12):
Hi, Ghost.

Speaker A (01:11:15):
And we say, stay spooky.

Speaker C (01:11:18):
All right, stay spooky.

Speaker A (01:11:20):
Thanks. Thanks.
Everyone.

Speaker D (01:11:29):
Loves a good ghost story.
From the renowned haunting of the Amityville
horror house to the lesser known curse of theBasano vase, legends of the ghostly and
macabre have been fascinating and frighteningus for centuries.
But have you ever wondered if there's anytruth behind the lore?

(01:11:49):
Over the last eight years that I've spent as aparanormal researcher, I have constantly asked
one important question.
Is this a hoax, or could it truly be a haunt?
I'm Courtney Hayes, host of the podcastHaunts, where every week I dissect another
ghostly legend in an effort to find the truththat lies within.
