You know, somebody knocked at ourdory yesterday. I just knocked on it
and I was like, I lookedout, there's nobody there. Well,
(00:25):
there's your ghost right there. Welcometo Scary Mystery Surprise, where we talk
about scary things that surprised us aroundthe Internet. I'm Edwin and I'm Michelle.
So we're settling in for a littlefilm history. In the late nineteen
(00:49):
seventies, Wes Craven who you know? Correct, No, Wes Craven is
the horror filmmaker. You know.His first horror classic was The Last House
on the Left, and he realizedhe had a talent for scaring people.
Also, he could only get fundingfour scary movies, which I think is
(01:10):
funny. But he also became oneof the most well known, best known
horror filmmakers of all time. Wow, he's responsible for a lot of movies,
but today we're going to talk aboutone in particular, which the title
scares me. So. Forty yearsago he produced another film on a very
tight budget called The Hills Have Eyes. I didn't know that, Like,
(01:36):
what's his name, It's names Craven. See, how come I don't know
about this? That just shows youthat shows everyone how little I know about
movies like that. But Yeah,is the scariest one. I've never seen
it. I'll never see it becauseof the title. It's like human Centipede.
I don't need to see that.Yeah, don't nobody, nobody,
nobody needs to see that. Youjust get it from the title. It's
(01:56):
good SEO. But that's how Ifeel about The Hills Have Eyes. Which
is funny because like when I wasa teen, at nighttime, we'd hike
down to different beaches, and wewere hiking down to this one beach and
there was a massive hill and thiskid that we were with was just like,
the hills have eyes, and wesprinted back up that hill. He
(02:17):
just had to say, the hillshave eyes. And then your brain just
fills in what that is. Itdoesn't even matter, and so we sprinted
back up to the car. Butin case you've never seen it, here's
a small synopsis of The Hills HaveEyes, because it's pretty brutal even by
(02:38):
today's standards. Bob Carter and hiswife Ethel, and five other family members
decide to take their camper vans anddrive towards San Diego. An accident occurs,
then the group gets stranded in thedesert. Two of the men decide
to go for help and the restof the group decides to stay put and
wait. But what they don't knowis where they're stranded was where a new
(03:00):
test site had occurred decades earlier,and it mutated a group of people who
now developed the taste for human flesh. Yeah, I can visualize all of
these I remember that scene. Theaccident wasn't an accident, it was they
try to stop you in the Idon't want to ruin the movie, but
it's no thank you. The factthat I don't even I've never seen it,
(03:25):
and someone just has to say thehills have eyes. And while I'm
looking at it still it's an awesometitle. Honestly, it's yeah, descriptive,
But did you know the scary thingis the movie is actually based on
a story, a true story ofAlexander Sonny Bean. The man known as
(03:47):
Alexander Sonny Bean was born in thelate fifteen hundreds near Edinburgh, Scotland.
Very little is known about his earlydays. Sonny Bean's father was a ditch
digger and a hedge trimmer, andit was said that Sonny tried to work
within his father's trade, but hewasn't into it, and so he left
(04:08):
to make his own way in theworld. He wasn't into that. I
mean, come on, you meanhe didn't want to dig ditches for the
rest of his wife. Geez,what anngrateful bastard. After Sonny Bean met
the woman he would marry, awoman known as Black Agnes Douglas. Why
was she known as that, Idon't know, but her day was black
(04:32):
Agnes. I'm assuming because she haddark hair or she was black, We
don't know. It's just like brownEdwin Coruez. Well and I'm translucent white
Michelle. So okay. Anyway,Black Agnes Douglas also didn't want to live
a life of labor, so shewas kind of against the system as well.
(04:56):
So it's kind of like a marriagemade in heaven pretty much. So
the couple decided to remove themselves fromsociety and go live in a sea cave
called Brennan Cave off the coast.Okay, I don't know why a cave
sounded appealing, but you know,like I think of like homesteaders or whatever,
you know, early off gritters soundscool. Like as a kid,
(05:19):
I always wanted to do that.I think I told you I wanted to
do a cave and just live init, or find a cool natural spot
and live in it. I don'tknow, right, I mean, it
makes sense, you know. SonnyBean, in order to support his wife,
he started ambushing and robbing people whowere traveling on the roads connecting the
(05:39):
villages in the region. Such agood husband. To prevent being caught by
the authorities, he started murdering hisvictims. But then he was like,
what am I going to do withthese bodies? Oh no, And so
of course Sonny Bean took up cannibalism. This act not only got rid of
(06:00):
the bodies, but it stopped thecouple from having to make unnecessary trips back
to town for provisions. Because thehigh protein diet seemed to really have a
positive effect on Missus Bean, andshe began to produce little baby beans fourteen
little baby beans in total, whateach with a very unhealthy appetite for human
(06:25):
flesh. Okay, they just gotreal. Yeah. And then as the
babies grew up and in turn,through incest, produced their own baby beans,
the cooking pots increased in a dramaticsize. Over two decades, generations
of the beanie babies grew up inthat cave, the Brennan Cave, refining
(06:48):
their skills of murder and cannibal cuisine, including the now lost art of salting
and pickling the flesh, which Iwas a funny quote like, Yeah,
I guess it's a lost art.People don't know how to pickle and salt
their human flesh anymore. Bummer.The family of forty five, so that's
(07:10):
forty five fucking people sick would thenmurder the victims, eat until full,
and then pickle the remains in largebarrels so the leftovers could be taken care
of. They would then discard bodyparts like a foot here or a hand
there, and local waterways to makeit look like animals were responsible for all
the missing travelers, Which isn't thatjust poisoning waterways? I mean, isn't
(07:35):
that. I mean, I'm surepeople are doing things now that are poisoning
us in every way possible, butyou're not. Yeah, you're not wrong.
Even with all their precautions, peoplewere starting to notice, and the
locals started making efforts to try andfind out who the perpetrators were and bring
them to justice. But the problemwas the cave that the Bean family lived
(07:58):
in was so well hit, andthe mouth of the cave was actually during
high tide, it would fill withwater so you couldn't even see there was
a cave entrance there. So liketwice a day it would the mouth of
the cave would be covered by water, so they would have to like swim
out. No, they just wouldn'tleave the cave when high tide was happening.
(08:20):
Oh. Also, what was evenstranger is that because of the tide
situation, the beans only hunted atnight, so they stayed in their cave
in the daytime. And this isreal Well we'll get to that, but
anyway, the townspeople were at aloss and they didn't know what to do.
(08:41):
They didn't even know that the beansexisted. It was just that these
people were disappearing on the road.No one knew what was going on.
Cut to Edwin, you and yourbeloved wife Shakira are returning from the fair.
She's like, hey, it's beena great day, but you stayed
past sunset. Luckily the horses knowthe way home and it's a beautiful night.
(09:05):
Suddenly you hear true, I'm gonnatry and do Scottish Okay, get
the Jesse bull bag sounds really good. Thank you, thank you, and
Jesse means weak man. You area weak man. Suddenly you're surrounded by
large men with distorted features, largeeyes and teeth that have been shaved into
(09:31):
points. There is a red stainaround our lips. You're hit with the
smell of unwashed bodies and stale blood. Before you even have time to draw
your pistol, they have pulled yourwife down from her horse and disemboweled her.
They are coming for you, andyou know you need to fight.
(09:54):
You charge at them with your horse, swinging your sword. Have a sword,
you have a sword? And thenanother word. These bumboots weren't expecting
a fight. I like it.Other people leaving the fair hear the commotion
and run to your aid. Youlive, but your beautiful wife, Shakira
(10:16):
laze in a pile of her ownguts, dead in the grass. The
beans escape, but now their existenceis known. And after this event,
the group, including you Edwin,traveled to Glasgow to report the attack and
the murder to the local magistrate,and they brought this news to King James
(10:37):
the sixth, who at the timesat on the throne of the King of
Scotland. King James was also soshocked by what he was hearing he decided
to take action himself. He,along with four hundred men with bloodhounds,
went to the site of the slaughter. The hounds quickly picked up the scent
and found the hidden sea cave.The beans surrendered without fight. When people
(11:01):
entered the cave system, they wereshocked by what they found. Inside.
The cave was complete filth body partshung from the walls to dry, while
others were stored in jars and barrelsto be pickled. The possessions of all
the lost people were just dumped inpiles around the cave. The family was
(11:22):
placed in chains and then brought tothe old toll Booth jail at Edinburgh.
It was decided that the family didn'tdeserve a trial due to their actions.
They immediately decided to cut off themen's hands and feet in genitalia and let
them bleed to death, and thenthey did that in front of the women
(11:43):
so the women could watch. Andthen after the men died, they burnt
all the women at the stake.That's brutal, I know, but also
imagine walking into that cave system andseeing like, I mean, they were
doing this for twenty years. Idon't know why I'm sympathizing here, but
like, if you grow up inthat environment and then you do that,
(12:07):
is it really your fault? Imean, look, I hate I hate
understand that argument. I get it, but I don't think there was any
rehabilitation happening. I don't know howI feel about that, but yeah,
I get it, I get it. I mean, they did just disembowel
your wife, so it's nice ofyou to have empathy. But anyway,
(12:28):
with the women burning at the stakethat ended the family's reign of terror.
This story has been debated for years. Of course, yes, okay,
cool. Some people believe it's completelytrue, even though there is a lack
of documented evidence of the family's existenceor even the trial and execution, which
(12:50):
is kind of weird. Even thoughit was like the fifteen hundreds, there
would probably be some sort of recordof it. And then others think it's
a lore that had developed over time, which does raise questions about how like
a story of like this would develop. During this time in Scotland and England,
the English press regularly portrayed people fromScotland in a negative light or having
(13:11):
an evil nature. Experts believe thatthe story could have been political propaganda,
with the goal to make the Scottishappear uncivilized and backwards in comparison to the
superior qualities of the British. Andthere's even speculation that Daniel Defoe, the
(13:33):
author of Robinson Crusoe, actually wrotethe Sanny Bean story. Huh. I
don't know. I thought that waskind of cool. It was like that
was how in depth the propaganda couldhave been. I mean it's not impossible.
I mean it seems like that kindof story honestly, like the kind
of stuff he would write. Yeah, so the Hills of Eyes would be
a rip off off of the story. Well here's the thing. So,
(13:54):
whether the tale is true or not, the Sonny Bean like story, the
family is like now a cottage industryin Edinburgh, so like there's all sorts
of stuff. The Sanny Bean attractionin the Edinburgh Jail is like one of
the most popular attractions, which theyjust have a room dedicated to it.
So whether it's real or not,But the story caught the attention of Wes
(14:20):
Craven, who was inspired by anarticle he read about Sonny Bean while he
was at the New York Library andtransformed it into the story we know today.
And then also it probably influenced theTexas Chainsaw massacre as well. Yeah,
yeah, similar themes. Yeah,and that's the story behind the Hills
Have Eyes. I won't watch it. It's just that it could be real,
(14:45):
like it could happen. Plus,I used to really like traveling through
the desert. Oh and just notnecessarily like overland overland, but I used
to you know, get on thesuburban drive and then just kind of stop
wherever rest for a little bit,going like it. It was fun.
It was cool. Yeah, AndI always thought like, what if I
get stuck here? Like literally,I haven't seen a car in like a
(15:07):
while. I'm like, huh,I mean I've been driving on that road
out to Barstow, between like AppleValley and Barstow, and it's all those
all those houses that just have likea pit bull and then some like eight
thousand rusty cars. Uh huh.You can'tnot think about of ice when you're
like, yeah, out there,It's like, oh, if my car
(15:28):
broke down and I had to gowalk to get help, would I ever
come back? Probably not. Nobody'sgonna hear you scream you're done. That's
it. I like the desert,but people move out to the desert to
be alone. They do not wantto be messed with. I like that.
I didn't know any of that.Even the guy who came up with
(15:48):
the movie, I had no idea, never looked it up. I can't
believe you didn't know Wes Craven.Bizarre, bizarre. I can't think.
I think they have a second Hillsof Ice movie. I'm not. Yeah,
there was a more. There wasa rem I remember it was like
in theaters when we went down tothe beach, And that's why it was
even a topic of conversation that itwas like in theaters or something like that.
(16:10):
So also, that movie is reallybrutal, like it's very not even
gory, because I mean there's gorein it, but it's not like it's
like really brutal death. No thanks, no thanks. If anybody's seen it,
the shotgun scene is what I havelike in my mind, like I
can see it. It's be carefulif you watch it because it's gonna make
(16:30):
you paranoid because it's or you know, you'll just get paranoid. By the
title of it, like I did. Oh, I mean, at least
it's not like, you know,a hill with eyes on it is that
so funny the idea and then likethis hill just opens one eye at a
time and it's like blue. That'sthe whole movie, like an hour and
(16:52):
a half. Anyway, when whatwere we going to talk about next week?
I don't know that think it'll bea surprise. Scary Mystery. Surprise

all those houses that just have likea pit bull and then some like eight
thousand rusty cars. Uh huh.You can'tnot think about of ice when you're
like, yeah, out there,It's like, oh, if my car
(15:28):
broke down and I had to gowalk to get help, would I ever
come back? Probably not. Nobody'sgonna hear you scream you're done. That's
it. I like the desert,but people move out to the desert to
be alone. They do not wantto be messed with. I like that.
I didn't know any of that.Even the guy who came up with
(15:48):
the movie, I had no idea, never looked it up. I can't
believe you didn't know Wes Craven.Bizarre, bizarre. I can't think.
I think they have a second Hillsof Ice movie. I'm not. Yeah,
there was a more. There wasa rem I remember it was like
in theaters when we went down tothe beach, And that's why it was
even a topic of conversation that itwas like in theaters or something like that.
(16:10):
So also, that movie is reallybrutal, like it's very not even
gory, because I mean there's gorein it, but it's not like it's
like really brutal death. No thanks, no thanks. If anybody's seen it,
the shotgun scene is what I havelike in my mind, like I
can see it. It's be carefulif you watch it because it's gonna make
(16:30):
you paranoid because it's or you know, you'll just get paranoid. By the
title of it, like I did. Oh, I mean, at least
it's not like, you know,a hill with eyes on it is that
so funny the idea and then likethis hill just opens one eye at a
time and it's like blue. That'sthe whole movie, like an hour and
(16:52):
a half. Anyway, when whatwere we going to talk about next week?
I don't know that think it'll bea surprise. Scary Mystery. Surprise
