Join Alyx as they host a spine-chilling live episode from ScareFest 16 in Lexington, KY! They’re joined by Steven and Troy from the Bloodlust and Bourbon podcast to talk about their favorite moments from the fest and dive deep into horror movie lore. Steven also hits us with a childhood legend his mom told him about small creatures called the Handheels—beings used to scare him away from the dryer lest he runs the dryer himself! We have a few other ScareFest attendees tell us their favorites parts as well.From ghostly encounters to the scariest scenes, the conversation takes a wild turn when Alyx reveals their love for Twister as a true horror movie—because what’s more terrifying than an unstoppable force of nature?Steven had the thrill of meeting Hellraiser creator Clive Barker, and Alyx got to meet Sean Whalen from Twister (of course!). Troy then shares his encounter meeting the legendary Dick Warlock, the actor and stuntman from Halloween II, who ran into Troy playing the new RetroRealms Halloween game that Dick did voice work on. What are the odds?Be warned, this episode is a bit more chaotic than usual, as the uncontrolled live environment adds some unpredictable fun.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
I'm tired, but I'm good.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yeah. Yeah, We're on Sunday of our three day weekend.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Here.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
You will hear all kinds of vendors, patrons, all kinds
of stuff.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
In the background.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
You will hear their very strange playlist that has the
stone called Steve Austin intro in day Times. I have
yet to hear the Pokemon theme song, and I'm a
little disa once. Yeah, they were like, I.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Have not once heard the Michael Myers Halloween theme or
we need that, Jason, or.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
But the theme to Halo many times.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Theme to Halo, but not the theme to Hellow my.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Favorite weird horror movie is actually Halo. That is not true.
Uh yeah, so three days, it's been a it's been
a trip. What's been your all's favorite part? Oh, you
have an announcement. I'm just gonna talk over the announcement.
What are they gonna do about it?
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Thanks Wes, We appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Thanks well, I forgot they were doing it now. But
but yeah, yeah, what's been your els favorite part of
this so far?
Speaker 4 (03:05):
My favorite part has to be meeting Clive Barker. There's yeah, really,
I think it's going to top that. It was extensive
to get in there. Yeah, but by the time you
get in there that he has just gallery of his
original artwork everywhere.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Yeah, that's really cool.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
With his books and everything. Unfortunately, this is like one
of his last cons actually, yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Because I know he was supposed to be here a
couple of years back and had to cancel for health reasons.
So that is I'm glad that he was able to come.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Yeah, he's talking, he's talking really lightly, and he's in
a wheelchair.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
It's entirely fair, but.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
He shakes everybody's hand and.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
He signed a hell raizorscript for me and it was
well worth everything. But he required masks for everybody because
he's really good.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
No, that's honestly really good.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
There was a couple chuds down there that were complaining.
Oh I'm sure really, yeah, they were complaining.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
It's it's in the United States, man, what do you expect.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
He is crazy.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
He is severely immuno compromised.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Yeah, so yeah, let's let's protect Clive Barker. Please.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Yes, he's a he's a sweet man.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
And you know, like, like I was telling your partner
Joe earlier, you don't want to be the man or
person responsible for killing Clive Barker.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Can you imagine yea being like that guy which Joe
is also here. You may hear Joe talking in the background.
Joe does not have a microphone though, So.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Yeah, that was my biggest thing to you.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
So I have a really really cool story. This is
probably the coolest thing that's ever happened to me. It's
Scara fast I would even argue one of the coolest
things that has ever happened to me in general. So
one of the guests here, one of the guests here
this week and is Dick Warlock.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Which I love his name.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Is that that cannot be his real last name.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
I you know, it could that could be the case,
like it could be like a screen actor's guild thing
to like.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
So no one took it, like maybe he had another name.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Yeah, maybe maybe his last name is like Smith. And
he was like, well, it's very possible I got picked
something else. So what are we going with Warlock? Sick? Awesome?
Speaker 6 (05:22):
Yeah, but Dick Warlock was here. He was famously Michael
Myers and Halloween two.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
He's still here for another fifty five minutes as of
us recording.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
Yeah, he's still here. I'm pretty sure he was. He's
going to be here the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
He put a sign up saying he's living at four pm.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Oh, Dick Warlock was born Richard Anthony Lemming.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Oh Lemming, So it's that's a semi.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Common last Ohio February fifth, nineteen forty Ohio.
Speaker 6 (05:48):
There you go, so confirmed that Dick Warlock is not
his last name, or well.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
It's not his last it is, and it just wasn't
his birth name. And that's all we're is a cool
name name. Anyway, you were saying.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
So I got here really really early. On a Friday,
famously for Scarefest. If you're a vendor, you can get
here like hours and hours and hours early on Friday,
which I did because I like to be anywhere early.
So I got here, I set up everything, and well,
I brought my my PlayStation five and I was playing
(06:25):
the brand new Halloween game, which a million people have
asked about this weekend because we've been playing it at
the booth. And I was turned around playing it, and
all of a sudden, I hear someone behind me say, well,
I think I did a pretty good job when I
played him. And I turned around and it was Dick Warlock.
(06:49):
And I'm pretty starstruck because you don't expect, you know,
a celebrity.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Or you know, watching you play video games.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. And I turned around.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
I was like, oh my gosh, him, I'm a huge fan,
thanks so much for coming out. And he was hey,
keep playing, keep playing. I'm like okay, And he played
a little bit more and he's like, well, yeah, how
many times have you beat it already? I'm like, well,
I've actually not beat it a doll. It just came
out today.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah, he probably didn't know when that came out, like
he's like, he probably did the lines for that month ago,
years ago, who knows.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
He he asked what I was playing it on and
I said, I'm playing it on PlayStation five.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
And he said, oh, I'm on PlayStation five. Now mind you.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
I'm you know, kind of baffled that, you know, an
eighty three year old man, maybe eighty four year old
man is playing on PlayStation because you know, old people
don't play video games, but he does. He plays Red
Dead Redemption too, which is one of the biggest games ever.
And he was just talking about how, you know, he
he loved being a cowboy in.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
The movies, and who wouldn't.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
He loves playing the game like a like a simulator,
so you know, real life rules, and it's a very
popular thing to do in these games. And he plays
online with his kid, and I was like, that's really cool.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
And then the thing I was not expecting him to do.
Speaker 6 (08:11):
He asked me, since I'm on PlayStation, if I wanted
to add him as a friend, he'll play video games together.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
Now I don't know if he'll you know, he probably
will follow through with that.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
He's played some Red Dead Redemption.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
Yeah, he gave me his game Attack I'm obviously not
going to give.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
That no, no, that, but I mean, but else, I
was taken.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
I was so taken aback that that Dick Warlock asked
me to add him on PlayStation.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
I really needed to go play Red Dead with him.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
You know.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
It's it was kind of like a I feel like
a once in a lifetime sort of interaction that or
something I wouldn't have ever thought would.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
Have ever happened. I guess that constitutes once in a lifetime.
Speaker 6 (08:54):
Yeah, so yeah, that's yeah, that happened, and it's definitely
one of the coolest things ever.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Yeah, that's super super awesome. My fun, weird celebrity experience
this weekend because like, I'm not a big celebrity person.
I can't tell anybody apart because I'm kind of just
face blind.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
But uh, I got to meet Sean Whalem, which like
I didn't like for a second. I was like, why
does he look so familiar? And I was like, oh
my god, it's Shuan Whalen from Twister.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
I love Twister. Twister is a perfect movie. Some people
are like, it's not a horror movie. It's not, but
it is. The Twister is one hundred percent the monster
of that movie. It's kind of a horror movie with
the twisters. There's many of them. So yeah, I got
to meet Sean Whaleen. He was so so, so nice
and he was just like stoked to be there, and
I got to tell him about how I was a
(09:44):
freak as a kid and used to write letters to
my local weatherman when I was six, because that's the
sane thing to do that my mom swear she was
mailing to him, and I don't think she did. So
Steve Horsemeyer, if you're still on the air and got
weird letters from like a six year old kid in
the nineties, sorry, I drew you a lot of pictures
of clouds or so, you're welcome for that movie. I
don't know it was on like dot Matrix, sprinter Baper,
(10:06):
but uh yeah. He was talking to me about how
many people have like kind of messaged him after that movie,
being like, yeah, I became a meteorologist because of this movie,
like thank you so much. And I just think that's
really cool when people get into like the nerdiest profession
possible because of a movie, Like I know Star Trek
has done that for like a lot of people too,
But yeah, I think that's super cool. There's just been
(10:27):
like so many awesome people here. Joanna was here from
Gulikan that we did earlier this year. They're fabulous. I
got to meet someone, uh, Leonor if you're listening to this,
we talked to you at the booth and you were like, Oh,
I already listened to your show. That's really cool for
us to hear because I don't know who listens to us.
A lot of times doing this show, it feels like
you're just making it and throwing it into the void
(10:49):
because I don't know who listens and not. I have
no way of knowing that. So I also we did
an october Fest last weekend too, and I got to
talk to shout out to Elizabeth ed Urban r Effect
as well. She said her mom and her listen to
the show together, and I think that is so cute.
So we got to talk to so many people. That's great.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
The other person that I got to meet was really
cool was Tom Holland, director of child's play Fright Night,
And what we talked about with him the Langole ears.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Yes, I love that.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
It's so weird and I.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Got a I got a like a screenplay of Child's
play signed by him.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
That's cool and yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
He talked about the Lnglers.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
He mainly complained that Scream Factory or any of them
Boutique Blue Rays have not done the Langoliers.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah really why.
Speaker 7 (11:42):
So?
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Yeah, if you're I guess, if you're randomly listening to
radio in Cincinnati screen Factory.
Speaker 6 (11:46):
I will buy the highest dollar collectible edition of the
langol Ears, like if they like they if they give it,
you know, for a suggestion, like a big life size
you know, you know how big they were in the.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
Movie that large, I'll take out.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Comments to buy it.
Speaker 8 (12:08):
Do you have any comments on the comments?
Speaker 3 (12:14):
What if? What if? Roy?
Speaker 4 (12:15):
If they charge you five hundred dollars and it's just
cooked meat with teeth.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
There's not even a DVD in there, it's cooked.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
I can't say that I didn't know what I was
getting into.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Honestly, I think I'd be like I'd be upset and
a little bit stoked. If I got a DVD and
just opened and it was just me, I'd be like, well,
that's new.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Yeah, it's exactly.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
Transfer teeth.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Child's teeth anyway. Sorry, Yeah, Yeah, it's been a it's
been a wild weekend. There's so many people. It sold
out on Saturday. There's like thirty thousand people here. So
you can tell that I'm losing my voice a little bit.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Yeah, Friday. Friday was a bit of a mess. It
took her a lot of long time for people to
get in here.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Oh my gosh. The line on Friday, Yeah, was like
around the building like twice. It looked like I.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Don't think they realized exactly how big this was going
to be, because.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Yeah, I mean it's just gotten bigger and bigger every year.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
I mean, we can all, I think, especially you and
I we can all remember Scarefest when it was like tiny.
Speaker 6 (13:25):
So yeah, I have a cool story about the first
scare Fest.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
If you anybody here ever watches a The Lenglayers.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
Friday the thirteenth on DVD and Blu ray, anyone that
was produced after twenty eleven, they have a special feature
that has a panel of the Q and a panel
from the very first scare Fest. Oh for a bunch
of people that were there that year. Yeah, and they
pan over the audience and you can see my seventeen
year old self right in the front of the audience
(13:55):
at this Q and A panel, And I love telling
people how I am forever immortalized on every Blu ray
and DVD of Friday the thirteenth. You'll never know who
I am. I specifically pointed out to you. But I
think it's the coolest thing ever.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
That is really cool, that is super cool.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
There.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
Yes, sorry, Lehman was there. It was before Betsy Palmer died.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Oh Miller was there too.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
Sean Cunningham wasn't, but Victor Miller was there.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
I had a friend who Betsy Palmer hit on. Actually
what I had a friend that Betsy Palmer hit on
at the scare fist.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
That's amazing.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Uh and and uh they're over there in another booth
and they said that to me and I was like,
did you do it? And why they were at the time.
They were like, no, I didn't. I don't know why.
And I was like, why did you not? Why did
you not do that? Betsy Palmer, yeah, yeah, instant, yes, yes,
(14:55):
right yeah, Betsy state yes, well not.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
Right now because she's dead, but.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Even better, I don't know if never mind, I'm I'm
that is a joke. Please that she's that she's not dead?
Oh god, no, that's worse. Speaking of being immortalized, I
don't know if I've ever told you all. I have
an IMDb page and hilariously, it was for this remote
(15:23):
viewing documentary that I was on like a few years back,
apparently in twenty nineteen. I didn't remember what year it was. Luckily,
my friends I did this with have a booth here
because he had deleted his Facebook, so I had no
idea how to get in touch with the director again.
So I finally found it and It's on to Be.
Because I didn't know how to watch it anymore, I
was like, where is this? Like I know it still exists,
so anyway, Yeah, if you for some reason want to
(15:45):
watch this remote viewing documentary that we did, It's on
to Be. It's remote viewing experiments with Mark Holmberg. It
was super fun to do. I had never tried remote
viewing before. It was fun. I not doing great at.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
It, We're doing good.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Yeah, yeah, staff's coming around making sure every guy is
doing good, which is very nice, by the way, I
don't it took me so long. I kept staring at
the staff badges, being like, why does that look weird?
Before I realized it was staff spelled st a p
h because because it's like staff.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
In fact, I pointed it out like last year is
like why do they say that for? Do they not?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
I have done it for I genuinely have been like, wow,
are they really bad at spelling? I've been like really, yeah, yeah,
so anyway, yeah, we.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Get it, we get it at JO change it.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Back please, well you can at this point now it's
part of it. Now, it's just part of it.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Doesn't have to.
Speaker 6 (16:43):
Be Weren't there some people like in the comments for
recent posts like arguing about it You're.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Arguing in the Scarefest group about how staffed.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Heads around that it's just the you know, I'm gonna
go there, but by the way, it's staff.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
I'm gonna make a worse spelling of it and be like, no,
it's spelled this way. That's funny.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Yeah, it's you know. I feel like some of the
staff here, poor staff, have been getting some real hae been.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Getting a lot of like yeah, I feel like people
have just been a little like in general, yeah, because
I feel like today, I feel like the rest of
the weekend everyone's been pretty polite and like nice, but
today everyone's a little cranky. I get it. See the weekend.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
It's see end of the weekend.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
But there's a there's a couple of vendors that have
already kind of like packed up and got home, and yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
They tend to do that. Yeah, I think you can
get technically get in trouble for that.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Really.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Yeah, there's I've only seen two tables where it's just
empty now, and I was like, oh, well, I feel
like that.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
If you're gonna have like a you must stay until
the end of the corn rule, it should be for
everybody and not just the vendors.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Like, yeah, unless there's like a health reason.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
I guess there's like there's kind of not really way
to enforce that either, because if you just leave, you
you left. I don't know, but it's for them to
figure out.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Not me.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
What's Unfortunately for us though, like we we can go
out the front. I mean that's that's how we're going
to do it. Like we're going to be able to
go out the front because we don't have that much stuff.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
I brought my own, dolly. Yeah, so I ain't using
their cards. I'm rolling my stuff. I'm gonna roll it
back to my car if I have to. Yeah, they
have a new Uh, not that anybody's gonna care about
the logistics of this, but they have a new way
of doing this year to make sure that everyone's not
trying to load out the dock at ones, which is
a smart idea, but also I don't want to mess
with all that, so I'm just gonna use my own car, surely. Sure,
(18:33):
but i'mind of doing that and try to mitigate that
because that does. Like, yeah, when it's at the end
of this, everyone's gonna want to leave it once, So
I get it. It's smart they're working on. It's getting
bigger every year. Like we said, Saturday sold out, there's
like thirty thousand people. It was wild, absolutely wild, absolutely,
And there's that is a really cool costume right there.
I do either of you know what that's from. It's
(18:54):
like on a bunch of eyes and teeth, and that's
the only description I have.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
It looks like something out of all real monsters, but I.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Know it does. I don't think it is all real monsters.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
That cartoon is great, by the way. I love a
real monsters.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Yeah, and we're getting we're getting close to Halloween. What
was what was your all's favorite like creepy show as
a kid.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Uh uh, that's hard. I would for show. I would go,
are You Afraid of the Dark?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
And I don't have that shirt on anymore. That's what
I had on you.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
I saw you. I think I saw you wearing it earlier.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Yeah, I got it in one of the boots here, just.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Because I think it's one of the only shows where
the opening song and opening shots scared me.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Good.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Yeah, so I have.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
A story about that, and the reason I got that
shirt is that's kind of how I got into HERR
a little bit. When I was like probably like five
or six, one of my cousins was watching that and
the episode scared the absolute crap out of me. It
was the Quicksilver episode. If you rewatched that as an adult,
it's not good and it's not scary, and I don't
know why it scared me, But I rewatched that as
(19:57):
an adult and I was laughing through the whole thing.
But yeah, so we kind of found so the delineation
between Goosebumps and Are You for the Dark episodes because
they kind of blur together in your mind. Goosebumps tends
to be like a little bit more campy and like
happy ending. Are You Afraid of the Dark had some
like bleak stuff in it.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Yeah, there are some some like unhappy endings that that
kind of maybe prepares you for uh, non American horror.
You know that guy tends to be bleak.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Some good stuff in there. What three.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
The next one?
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Yeah, so this des ile three hundred, Yeah, no problem.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Well that's on radio.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
Now, are you a pretty the dark?
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Hey was closer to radio. Yes, Goosebumps. It would all
work out in the end in some way or another. Sure,
But are you afraid of the dark?
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
But for the first thing I ever really got into
horror wise.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Was two things. I'll tell you Goosebumps.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Of Goosebumps, the books are the show or both both? Both?
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Yeah, the books first for me too. The second thing
is when I was a kid, My I was apparently
like a big brat at the laundromat. Apparently that's when
my mother claims, and I believe it because I was
a child and children tend to be that way, children
do be.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Yeah, And apparently I like to climb into the.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
Dryers, oh my god.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
And my mother apparently almost dried me.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
Oh my god one time. Oh yeh was killed in
my bloody molltains.
Speaker 8 (21:43):
Yeah, now you just like unlocked a core childhood memory
where we have sleep over my friend's house one night
and we were like telling scary stories and one of
the people that was there, her scary story was that
a killer got in and killed us all and I,
in her story, I got killed.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
By the dryer. I was hiding in the dryer and
they turned it on. So shout out for that one.
Thanks for killing me in the dryer.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Yeah. Well, so.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
In order for she decided and the best way to
keep me out of the dryer was to invent a monster.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
The monster was called hand heels.
Speaker 8 (22:21):
That is a creepy name, and hand heels hands heels.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
I am so, I don't know whose kid, but I'm
passing this ledgend down to somebody's kid.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
My mother.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
My mother greed because my mother is is basically a
perfect human being.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
In my opinion, hand heels is great. I love it already.
I already have a mental image.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
She said that it was the people that are hand heels.
They run the dryer, they make it go round.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
And that's why is it like a hamster?
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Yeah, oh my god.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
And she described them basically as like just same size people,
but smaller. So if I saw somebody who was a
little shorter later on, I would scream hand heels.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Once in a while. But yeah, that's what that's what
she told me.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
She said that if I got the dryer, they would
get me and I'd become a handhel and they.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Would shrink you down and you'd have to run the dryer.
Speaker 6 (23:15):
Yeah, it's not about making then can we make a
handhels movie?
Speaker 5 (23:20):
I mean that's great, Like that is legitimately.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Very We'll make our own goose, but it would be
a short film, goose bump style, where it's just a
kid terrified of the dryer and they're like, mom, the hand.
Speaker 6 (23:33):
That's how popular cryptids and like s cps and things
like that are right now.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
But that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Yeah, that was my first, like fore in the horror.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
That is amazing and you could see where.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Everything developed from that.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Yeah, yeah you could.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Talk, man, it's okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, but
it's radio.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
It's live. We're here in a Yeah, as long as
you know, no one say anything weird that I have
to bleep out.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
It's yet heels was not too much for radio.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Well, well maybe after this it will be maybe they'll
be like, we don't talk about the hand heels on
the radio. It gives them power. I was super into
like Courage the Cowardly Dog as a kid, and in
retrospect that shows messed up.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
That slab episode will mess you upside it.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Yeah, yeah, like literal biblical curses of like locusts and stuff,
and they're just like, well, it is what it is.
This little pink dog is gonna solve solve the problems,
which explains a lot about me, genuinely. Was that a
lot of Scooby Doo classic I used to watch Scooby
(24:49):
Doo with my cousin, who was really no hor movies.
She might have been who kind of like got me
into a lot of that, And then like yeah, pretty
much from the moment I was like nine, we would
get to a Blockbuster. Ye to remember Blockbus. I love Blockbuster,
and I'd be like, all right, I'm and I rent
a movie and it was always like Children of the
Corn and my parents just like weren't really looking at
what I was renting. They're just like I'd sure whatever.
(25:11):
So I was just watching all these horror movies I
probably should not have been watching, but it's okay because
my mom somehow listening to this. Thanks for not paying
attention to that. It was probably the right call. I
don't think any of either of my parents were really
into like horror movies or anything. My mom looks like
sci fi, and my dad pretty much solely watched spaghetti
(25:35):
Westerns and Emeralds Cooking Show.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
You know, I don't know about the cooking show, but
I will.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
I like spaghetti westetti.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
I'm I think we're all very genre people. Have a
good genre film and Westerns are in my top three
genres that I really like.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Western.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Oh.
Speaker 6 (26:00):
I was just talking to the Mark about this about
movies that I there's so many movies outside.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
Of or that I love. I was, I like The Fugitive,
It's one of my favorites.
Speaker 6 (26:14):
I really like political thrillers, like The Hunt for Right
October is one of my favorite.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
They're not my favorite, But I do love a good
heist film. Oh yeah, Like I love when, like any
TV show does their heist episode. I love it uh
DS nine Star Trek DS nine where they had that
heist episode and then like the one after that was
like their baseball episode. She was like, the Height episode
(26:40):
was it's all in the simulator for Vic Fontaine.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
I know it's not there, it's it is.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
It is a Holidacks fellow. Sweet hello sweet. Yeah. But yeah,
so it's in that where they have to pull off
this heist to say Vic because something went wrong with
the holograms or something. I don't remember the exact thing.
But getting to see a bunch of you know, humans
and aliens, all dressed to the nines in suits pulling
off a heist caper in space, it's perfect. In the
(27:11):
next episode, there's playing baseball, and I'm like, I love this.
Speaker 8 (27:13):
This is.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
I love and people hate the baseball episode.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
I love base Hey we got somebody here. You want

so so can over state that. Yeah, it's been a
fun weekend. Yeah, we got candy if you'd like some candy.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Yeah. The Strange Talk one.
Speaker 2 (28:08):

so it's been a fun weekend. There's so many, so
many people here still Hi, Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
Yeah, this is this is I think this might become
a tradition recording here.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
I Sunday seems to be like a good day for
it because it's busy, but it's like not so busy
that you can't record because it's just so loud.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Usually Friday would be the best day.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Everybody Fridays and Sundays might be there. Saturday is just
too busy.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
Saturday I would rather. I would rather be buried.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
And it was a lot. That was why I took
like a break halfway through the day, just because I
was like, there's too many people. Which worked out so
I could get you all.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
Some flyers were I'm We're forever grateful for that. Yeah,
but I have a more egg. I'm probably the least
annoying extrovert on the planet.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
I don't know if I've ever discussed this on the show.
I'm an introvert. Why do I have a radio show?
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Yeah, and I'm pretty sure you're introverted.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
Humongous introvert.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Yeah, genuinely, Like I feel like I do all these events,
so like maybe people who turn into into the show
like have this like miss like idea of how I
am when I'm not you know, at events and doing
stuff for the show. I'm at home, Like playing SIMS
four is what I've been doing lately. Yeah, I sit
(29:42):
at home and do nothing. I run trivia, I run karaoke,
I work in it. I mean, like, we're all introverts.
If you're an extrovert and you're an it.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
How Yeah, I don't understand that.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
How every job I've ever had has been interacting people.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Yeah, people too.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
But my advice to.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
All other extroverts if you are coming off as because
because I will admit, extroverts can be quite a lot.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Sometimes it's about knowing how to temperate because there's also
somethings I need to remind myself that, oh yeah, I
should maybe actually be talking and not just standing in
a corner lurking like a creature.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
The best thing you can do as an extrovert is
marry an introvert.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Oh yeah, and I married an extreme introvert.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Yes, and that grounded me and everything that I need
to understand about introvertse.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
So when she is like, I can't take any more.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
There's to meet people I need to go, I'm just like, okay, babe, fine,
Like you know.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Joe and I are both hardcore introverts, so we're both
just like, yeah, leaving.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
I will handle this from here. I will do the
people talking and you can go.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Uh, you can go whatever you do. Hi, Yeah, we're
doing something different. Do you're we're recording for my radio show.
Do you want to tell us about your favorite thing
about this weekend? No, it's okay if you don't. Yeah,
that's fine. I like it though. Yeah, yeah, do you have, yeah,
(31:13):
your favorite thing? Just remember it's for the radio.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
It is for the radio thirteen.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Yes, no swearing, just no swearing. Okay, yeah, here here.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Are you? What do you think?
Speaker 2 (31:35):
I think?
Speaker 3 (31:35):
That's fine, that's fine, that's.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Not yeah, that's not explicit. My favorite thing about Scarefest
was what was their name Ponters against Tate at the
Haunters against Tate table. I paid five dollars to get paddled.
That was my favorite thing by a suckubist. I think
you said it's amazing. Yeah, I love your Velmont costume.
By the way, I was dressed up as Daphne yesterday.
(31:56):
Oh you got one.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
By any chance. But before that, by any chances you
can the booths number for that? Do you know where
they are? Because I for for scientific purposes.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Two from us? Yeah, yeah, did you say you had one? Yeah,
the creeper truck. Oh that's a good one.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
If you all would like some candy, please feel free,
all of our cards, all that good stuff.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
Strange Talk will be the one where your voices will
be on.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Yes, yeah yeah, have a great scare, have a great Sunday.
Speaker 5 (32:35):
Oh Halloween, so Halloween is beat?
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Yes, getting places? We always got something to do Halloween.
Speaker 5 (32:46):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
This is a threatening that is so weirdly threatening.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
I had to do that, you can.
Speaker 6 (32:56):
It was so funny you were talking about like the
jobs were I've always you know, you've always worked with people,
and I am very much an introvert, but like I'm
I'm a supervisor at a call center and the only
people I talk to are Karen's. But I've always worked
at call centers, and then prior to that, I did
delivery driving a lot, like I did delivery driving for Domino's,
(33:19):
Donado's and Jimmy John Jimmy and so most of my
jobs have always been customer service oriented, and I can
like mask and go into this customer service mode where
I have no issues talking with people over the phone,
which is weird because people who are introverts hate talking.
Speaker 5 (33:37):
On the phone.
Speaker 6 (33:38):
But me, like, I can really like separate it. I
guess when I know for sure that it's I guess
my job to do it or whatever. But if I'm
out in public, I have to have like four or
five shots, which you know is really healthy to do
to call my soul.
Speaker 5 (33:53):
My social anxiety.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Yeah, it's not great to do. I think I think
you might have the same thing I do where it's
that you can get over it, it's that you go
into this sort of performance mode. Yeah, it's like, yes,
I'm very extroverted, and I will talk to everyone right
now because this is a character that I'm playing and
not myself.
Speaker 5 (34:12):
Yeah, I think you hit the nail on that.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
It is a little bit that dissociation which spoilers. Yeah,
I have to do that a little bit for the
show too, So you guys are going to see the
character that I play for the show, which is really
just me. It's just that I have to pretend extroverts.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
We'll talk, tell you sorry, no.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
You're good, tell us tell you this.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
But we also get emotionally exhausted.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Oh yeah, you just can't get it because you're an extrovert.
Speaker 4 (34:36):
It takes a lot more for us to get emotionally exhausted.
But when we do, we crash hard. Yes, it is
when I'm ready to be by myself like Hannah, Yeah,
host Hannah. She goes on work trips and I'm so
emotionally exhausted that i just can't wait to like live
(34:56):
like a ninja turtle for a little while.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
I heard it so hard.
Speaker 6 (35:02):
I can relate so hard. That's the worst thing about
like stuff. Is I my social battery? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (35:09):
From that, because I like, you know, kind of have
to go in that mode.
Speaker 6 (35:12):
And then I go home and I'm like, my desire
to do literally anything else after.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
That is Shawn, I I get done here today I
am going to go home and I'm going to play
video games. I'm not gonna talk to anybody for like
three days.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
Funny enough, we have somebody in front of the booth.
Would you like to tell us your favorite experience at Scarefest?
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (35:33):
No, we should let this guy talk. Hey, audience, it's Creature.
Speaker 9 (35:39):
I'm making a little special appearance for the show today.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Yeah, Creatures been with us. Creatures been manning the booth
while we're talking away on this. Because I only brought
through microphones with me for some reason, I don't know,
I can't count I my.
Speaker 9 (35:51):
My favorite experiences. I got to as you all know,
I'm a big Scooby Doo fan. I got to stand
two feet away from Matthew Lillard as he walked around. Yeah,
I didn't say anything because.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
I didn't want to try to lick him or anything
like that.
Speaker 9 (36:06):
And I got to use the bathroom next to the
main zombie from Land of the Dead by Romero, which
I was very excited about.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
That he's the best part of that movie.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
He really is. Did you all see that Matthew Lillard's
booth has become sort of just a shrine because so
many people brought art to give to him that has
just become like a shrine of like Scooby Doo art,
and so it's kind of a cult. It is definitely
a cult, which like, fine, he's probably cool, but like
I'm also like, this is like Matthew Lillard.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
Yeah, there's kind of a cult personality there.
Speaker 5 (36:41):
Yeah, it is.
Speaker 6 (36:43):
I mean, honestly, now here's the thing he deserves, all that,
all the fame.
Speaker 5 (36:48):
In all of the pool that he gets.
Speaker 6 (36:50):
This is a very wholesome, genuine human being outside.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
Of being it is. But I do I do worry
about sort of cultifying anybody. I think that that is
a very precarious place to put someone on and I
would not want to deal with that Parish Parisential relationships
are already difficult. So yeah, I want to go.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Back to the bathroom comment from Creature.
Speaker 4 (37:13):
I think everybody has a con bathroom story, right, yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
Uh, and my best you will one day one day, unless.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
You just realize I have not gone to the bathrooms
and near the whole time I've been here.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
It's actually not that bad here.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
I have just been like walking to the lander.
Speaker 4 (37:31):
The the the the gendered bathrooms over here, the one
that is described for women is usually out the door,
and there have.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
Been multiple times gonna There's.
Speaker 4 (37:43):
Been multiple times where I will go in there and
I will hear a woman talking on the other side,
and I'm just like, you know, what do you do?
You You did the right thing, you went into the
men's bathroom.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
But my best bathroom story for scare Fence was like,
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Gonna ask your worst Oh, I know about this again.
Speaker 3 (38:04):
This is Doug Bradley from Hell Raiser.
Speaker 4 (38:07):
I was going in and I went to the first
stall and was starting to use the bathroom, and I
saw Doug Bradley come in behind me, and he went
into the other stall and he sat down and he
let out the biggest.
Speaker 3 (38:22):
Fart I have possibly ever heard in my entire life.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
And now you're telling the public about it.
Speaker 4 (38:28):
And so my story is that I heard Penhead give
the biggest fart I have ever heard in the public
bathroom of Rapperina. I don't even know how else to
describe that other than Doug Bradley farted next to me.
Just that's what it's like to be at these cons,
(38:50):
is that sometimes sometimes you'll go to the bathroom and
you'll see Dave Sheridan left a scary movie poster and
it'll say like Officer doofy took a duchie? Yeah, and
it'll heal like sign it so someone can take it.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
That's wild.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Yeah, that's that's just bathroom humor here.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
It's just a reminder that no matter who you are,
we all have to use the bathroom at some.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
Point, nice and dry.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
That is not a joke about the bathrooms. There was
a sprite incident in our booth and one of our
chairs got soaked in sprite.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Do you have a bathroom story at Scarefist?
Speaker 5 (39:27):
Not as cool as your alls? I mean, it's just general.
Speaker 6 (39:32):
I was in the bathroom at the same time as
Gunner Hansen. This is the second or third scare Fest ever.
I want to say the second, and I want to
say that because this.
Speaker 5 (39:42):
Is like the old there's two years where.
Speaker 6 (39:47):
The stuff that happened at the Kentucky Theater where the
people who were here at the con went to.
Speaker 5 (39:51):
Watch the movie with everybody.
Speaker 6 (39:53):
Gunnar Hansen did the same thing where Texas chain is
all out at the Kentucky theater. Anyways, Yeah, I don't
don't have anything more interesting than that.
Speaker 5 (40:01):
But we shared the bathroom. At the same time, I didn't.
Speaker 6 (40:04):
Say anything to him because even even in my younger years,
I always think it's like, really weird to gush to celebrities,
like when they're at a convention when they're not at
their booth like they you know, they.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Do that there at the Yeah, at the same time,
it'd be weird if someone's like trying to pee and
you're like, hey, man, I love your.
Speaker 4 (40:21):
I mean, the only thing I was going to ask
Doug Bradley is if he's gone to the doctor.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
So wait, you asking what if he's gone to the doctor.
Speaker 5 (40:30):
If he's going to the doctor, I'm.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
Telling you, man that fart was bad.
Speaker 5 (40:37):
Well, you're just really concerned for his health. That's really
you know.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
You know what I just realized we maybe you should
explain what Scarefest is because I just said, hey, we're here.
You all have been going here longer than I have.
You want to say what it is? You're fine, you
all want to say what Scarefist is?
Speaker 5 (40:58):
What am I explained?
Speaker 3 (40:58):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (40:59):
What where explaining what Scarefest? We've been just talking about
how we're here, But we should probably explain what Scarefest.
Speaker 5 (41:04):
Is or explaining what Scarefest.
Speaker 2 (41:06):
Is yeah, oh.
Speaker 5 (41:09):
Just outside of being a horror convention.
Speaker 6 (41:10):
Yeah, well, you know what's funny because it's always been
built as a horror and paranormal convention.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
I mean I didn't even know about the paranormal part. Honestly,
I was just like, I don't know, that sounds cool.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
We're in yeah, I know.
Speaker 6 (41:25):
To be honest with you, like, whenever I went to
Scarefest the first few times, admittedly I was like seventeen eighteen,
I didn't really know what conventions were. Again, this goes
back to me being an introvert. I don't like to
go out in gigantic public spaces, so even as a
you know, ultra nerd, I wasn't Maybe I knew what
comic con was, but I thought that was like an
(41:46):
isolated thing and that.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
Was the only sort of like comic convention.
Speaker 5 (41:50):
That ever happened.
Speaker 6 (41:51):
But I didn't even think of, like or realize that
conventions were a thing, and so I didn't know horror
conventions were a thing. So imagine my surprise. You know,
after this, you I learned, you know about Whorehound and
all that other stuff.
Speaker 5 (42:06):
But yeah, yeah, this is.
Speaker 6 (42:10):
Where you come to buck your uh your favorite, you know,
spooky celebrities you see in all the movies.
Speaker 4 (42:15):
By the way, shout out to Horrorhound in Cincinnati because
they just announced Ty West.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
I'm going to lose my uh oh, that's why.
Speaker 3 (42:22):
Here's my marvels. And if I get to meet thy West, that.
Speaker 2 (42:25):
Would be cool. Yeah. Also, Scarefest is based in Lexington, Kentucky.
Obviously already shows out of Cincinnati, but I live in Lexington.
Speaker 3 (42:37):
I'm sorry if I just added you as a Kentuckian.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
No I mentioned before on here. I mean I've talked
about it, like I work for a bourbon distillery on here.
I will not name which one, but I do work
for a bourbon distillery, and I live in Kentucky, which
is about one of the most Kentucky things you can
do is work in bourbon or horses. That's that's it.
But yeah, it isn't like in Kentucky. Lison's been getting
(43:03):
like some really cool conventions because we got Cryptocon here too.
Like I feel like we're really like punching above our
weight as far as like the cool stuff we.
Speaker 3 (43:10):
Yeah, Lexington is getting.
Speaker 4 (43:14):
I mean it's two big cons yeah, really are Comic
Con and Scarefest.
Speaker 3 (43:19):
Uh yeah, comic Con is here is massive.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
At this point, It's huge. It's so big to.
Speaker 4 (43:27):
The point I think they still the last time I
said comic Con they had the guests an actual rapp arena.
Speaker 2 (43:33):
Oh, because they just couldn't fit.
Speaker 3 (43:34):
In somebody, Yeah too.
Speaker 6 (43:35):
I didn't know that's last year until maybe today where
somebody said they separated the vendors from the celebrities.
Speaker 4 (43:41):
And I think Scarefest is getting to the point where
they probably need to consider.
Speaker 2 (43:44):
That, honestly. Yeah. What what is unfortunate about that is
because when you have them together, it just clogs up
the walkways and nobody can walk through. And that that
has been like a little bit of an issue this weekend.
Staft's been pretty on top of it, where they're like, hey,
you guys need to keep moving. You can't just stand here.
Them props for that.
Speaker 4 (44:03):
The customer service side of me makes me side with
staff here.
Speaker 3 (44:07):
Yes, it always will, because I guarantee you the people.
Speaker 2 (44:10):
That are that are currently imagine how much of a
night there they've had to deal with them. They haven't
seen because they've handled it.
Speaker 4 (44:16):
The people posting on it and being like, oh the
line was this long line was this long.
Speaker 3 (44:20):
I paid this, I paid it. You knew, you knew
what it was going to be.
Speaker 6 (44:24):
Like here every single week we deal with people who
constantly threatened to you know, lambasted us all over the
internet on everything they can do because of a something
that they did on their end, and they don't want
to take responsibility for it. So yes, one thing.
Speaker 2 (44:43):
Be nice to her.
Speaker 5 (44:44):
I'm always trapped to believe.
Speaker 6 (44:47):
That the business, the facility, whatever, aren't the ones that fault.
Speaker 2 (44:54):
They're honestly and honest they've done a pretty good jobs.
The you know, no Halloween theme in their playlist.
Speaker 4 (45:02):
I want to point out that they're also volunteers. Yeah,
they're not, like, they're not getting paid to do this.
And to my understanding, I know Brandon and Nicole, to
my understanding, they don't make a lot of profit off them.
Speaker 2 (45:15):
I'm sure they don't.
Speaker 3 (45:16):
They throw their money back into this.
Speaker 2 (45:18):
Yeah, and every year it's how it gets bigger and masters.
Speaker 3 (45:21):
They've bought it, it's been bigger and bigger.
Speaker 4 (45:23):
So I fully believe that they're just throwing them their
money into this to try to make it as best
as possible.
Speaker 3 (45:30):
So if you want this to run, smoother than volunteer.
Speaker 2 (45:34):
Yeah, volunteer. Also, it's like a great way to be
able to like get in for free. Yeah, you do
some work, but you also get to like go around
and see like all the cool stuff. You get so
many cool costumes here.
Speaker 3 (45:43):
You're almost like guaranteed to meet all the celebrities too.
Speaker 2 (45:46):
Yeah, I'm sure, because you get to they have their
own security, but they also kind of like have to
usher people around.
Speaker 6 (45:52):
I think they were going to try to do the
separation this year because Wes had commented Wes a is
one of the persons who runs scare You will have
heard somebody who mentioned announcements, why don't you separate the
guests and the and the vendors, And he's like, well,
we couldn't get it this year, So I assume maybe
that's what.
Speaker 2 (46:09):
They're planning next year.
Speaker 4 (46:10):
So yeah, yeah, I think that we're at that limit
where they're going to do it. We'll see what happens
next year. The thing about the thing about scare Fest
is that January first is almost always the first test announcement.
Speaker 2 (46:25):
That's wild because that's only three months from now.
Speaker 3 (46:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (46:29):
Yeah, when I say that, it's like you start planning
for next scare Fest is like the day after scare Fest.
Speaker 2 (46:35):
Well, I already I already have plans.
Speaker 4 (46:38):
Yeah, well it's not our problem, but it's their problem.
Speaker 2 (46:41):
Oh I meant plans for us, but uh yeah, we
got like about ten minutes left. Anything else? Do you
want want to talk about Scarefest.
Speaker 4 (46:51):
It's been some growing pains here, yeah this year. Yeah,
and that's okay.
Speaker 2 (46:57):
The people getting in I think was the biggest growing pain,
but they were They were also like timing that well
to make sure that like a bunch of people were
not coming in at once, which is good, but it
did create like a line.
Speaker 4 (47:08):
There's nothing wrong with growing pains and people. People are
not People are only human and they can only do
so much.
Speaker 3 (47:17):
So just be patient. They'll get you in.
Speaker 2 (47:19):
And you're still gonna have fun even if you stand
in a long line.
Speaker 4 (47:22):
And I'm sorry, I don't believe anybody who says they
don't get a refund.
Speaker 3 (47:25):
I've gotten refunds from Scarefest before.
Speaker 4 (47:27):
It's oh yeah, are the people saying that, Yeah, it's oh,
come on.
Speaker 5 (47:34):
They've been really good about that sort of stuff.
Speaker 4 (47:36):
Dial up the dramatics, well, yeah, for sure, for sure,
But like growing pains are happening. We're kind of in
a transitionary phase between old scare Fest and what will
be scare Fest in a few years.
Speaker 2 (47:50):
Done of a new era.
Speaker 4 (47:52):
And it's gonna be different, interesting, and I think for
the better.
Speaker 2 (47:56):
Yeah. Well, I think we can go ahead and wrap there. Yeah,
unless you got something else you want to add, Okay,
Well we'll go ahead and sign up from Strange Talk.
Scareface has been super fun. Hope to see you all
there next year. And yeah, good night and good luck.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
Here.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
You will hear all kinds of vendors, patrons, all kinds
of stuff.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
In the background.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
You will hear their very strange playlist that has the
stone called Steve Austin intro in day Times. I have
yet to hear the Pokemon theme song, and I'm a
little disa once. Yeah, they were like, I.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Have not once heard the Michael Myers Halloween theme or
we need that, Jason, or.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
But the theme to Halo many times.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Theme to Halo, but not the theme to Hellow my.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Favorite weird horror movie is actually Halo. That is not true.
Uh yeah, so three days, it's been a it's been
a trip. What's been your all's favorite part? Oh, you
have an announcement. I'm just gonna talk over the announcement.
What are they gonna do about it?
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Thanks Wes, We appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Thanks well, I forgot they were doing it now. But
but yeah, yeah, what's been your els favorite part of
this so far?
Speaker 4 (03:05):
My favorite part has to be meeting Clive Barker. There's yeah, really,
I think it's going to top that. It was extensive
to get in there. Yeah, but by the time you
get in there that he has just gallery of his
original artwork everywhere.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Yeah, that's really cool.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
With his books and everything. Unfortunately, this is like one
of his last cons actually, yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Because I know he was supposed to be here a
couple of years back and had to cancel for health reasons.
So that is I'm glad that he was able to come.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Yeah, he's talking, he's talking really lightly, and he's in
a wheelchair.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
It's entirely fair, but.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
He shakes everybody's hand and.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
He signed a hell raizorscript for me and it was
well worth everything. But he required masks for everybody because
he's really good.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
No, that's honestly really good.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
There was a couple chuds down there that were complaining.
Oh I'm sure really, yeah, they were complaining.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
It's it's in the United States, man, what do you expect.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
He is crazy.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
He is severely immuno compromised.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Yeah, so yeah, let's let's protect Clive Barker. Please.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Yes, he's a he's a sweet man.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
And you know, like, like I was telling your partner
Joe earlier, you don't want to be the man or
person responsible for killing Clive Barker.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Can you imagine yea being like that guy which Joe
is also here. You may hear Joe talking in the background.
Joe does not have a microphone though, So.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Yeah, that was my biggest thing to you.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
So I have a really really cool story. This is
probably the coolest thing that's ever happened to me. It's
Scara fast I would even argue one of the coolest
things that has ever happened to me in general. So
one of the guests here, one of the guests here
this week and is Dick Warlock.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Which I love his name.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Is that that cannot be his real last name.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
I you know, it could that could be the case,
like it could be like a screen actor's guild thing
to like.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
So no one took it, like maybe he had another name.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Yeah, maybe maybe his last name is like Smith. And
he was like, well, it's very possible I got picked
something else. So what are we going with Warlock? Sick? Awesome?
Speaker 6 (05:22):
Yeah, but Dick Warlock was here. He was famously Michael
Myers and Halloween two.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
He's still here for another fifty five minutes as of
us recording.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
Yeah, he's still here. I'm pretty sure he was. He's
going to be here the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
He put a sign up saying he's living at four pm.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Oh, Dick Warlock was born Richard Anthony Lemming.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Oh Lemming, So it's that's a semi.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Common last Ohio February fifth, nineteen forty Ohio.
Speaker 6 (05:48):
There you go, so confirmed that Dick Warlock is not
his last name, or well.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
It's not his last it is, and it just wasn't
his birth name. And that's all we're is a cool
name name. Anyway, you were saying.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
So I got here really really early. On a Friday,
famously for Scarefest. If you're a vendor, you can get
here like hours and hours and hours early on Friday,
which I did because I like to be anywhere early.
So I got here, I set up everything, and well,
I brought my my PlayStation five and I was playing
(06:25):
the brand new Halloween game, which a million people have
asked about this weekend because we've been playing it at
the booth. And I was turned around playing it, and
all of a sudden, I hear someone behind me say, well,
I think I did a pretty good job when I
played him. And I turned around and it was Dick Warlock.
(06:49):
And I'm pretty starstruck because you don't expect, you know,
a celebrity.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Or you know, watching you play video games.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. And I turned around.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
I was like, oh my gosh, him, I'm a huge fan,
thanks so much for coming out. And he was hey,
keep playing, keep playing. I'm like okay, And he played
a little bit more and he's like, well, yeah, how
many times have you beat it already? I'm like, well,
I've actually not beat it a doll. It just came
out today.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah, he probably didn't know when that came out, like
he's like, he probably did the lines for that month ago,
years ago, who knows.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
He he asked what I was playing it on and
I said, I'm playing it on PlayStation five.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
And he said, oh, I'm on PlayStation five. Now mind you.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
I'm you know, kind of baffled that, you know, an
eighty three year old man, maybe eighty four year old
man is playing on PlayStation because you know, old people
don't play video games, but he does. He plays Red
Dead Redemption too, which is one of the biggest games ever.
And he was just talking about how, you know, he
he loved being a cowboy in.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
The movies, and who wouldn't.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
He loves playing the game like a like a simulator,
so you know, real life rules, and it's a very
popular thing to do in these games. And he plays
online with his kid, and I was like, that's really cool.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
And then the thing I was not expecting him to do.
Speaker 6 (08:11):
He asked me, since I'm on PlayStation, if I wanted
to add him as a friend, he'll play video games together.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
Now I don't know if he'll you know, he probably
will follow through with that.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
He's played some Red Dead Redemption.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
Yeah, he gave me his game Attack I'm obviously not
going to give.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
That no, no, that, but I mean, but else, I
was taken.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
I was so taken aback that that Dick Warlock asked
me to add him on PlayStation.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
I really needed to go play Red Dead with him.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
You know.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
It's it was kind of like a I feel like
a once in a lifetime sort of interaction that or
something I wouldn't have ever thought would.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
Have ever happened. I guess that constitutes once in a lifetime.
Speaker 6 (08:54):
Yeah, so yeah, that's yeah, that happened, and it's definitely
one of the coolest things ever.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Yeah, that's super super awesome. My fun, weird celebrity experience
this weekend because like, I'm not a big celebrity person.
I can't tell anybody apart because I'm kind of just
face blind.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
But uh, I got to meet Sean Whalem, which like
I didn't like for a second. I was like, why
does he look so familiar? And I was like, oh
my god, it's Shuan Whalen from Twister.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
I love Twister. Twister is a perfect movie. Some people
are like, it's not a horror movie. It's not, but
it is. The Twister is one hundred percent the monster
of that movie. It's kind of a horror movie with
the twisters. There's many of them. So yeah, I got
to meet Sean Whaleen. He was so so, so nice
and he was just like stoked to be there, and
I got to tell him about how I was a
(09:44):
freak as a kid and used to write letters to
my local weatherman when I was six, because that's the
sane thing to do that my mom swear she was
mailing to him, and I don't think she did. So
Steve Horsemeyer, if you're still on the air and got
weird letters from like a six year old kid in
the nineties, sorry, I drew you a lot of pictures
of clouds or so, you're welcome for that movie. I
don't know it was on like dot Matrix, sprinter Baper,
(10:06):
but uh yeah. He was talking to me about how
many people have like kind of messaged him after that movie,
being like, yeah, I became a meteorologist because of this movie,
like thank you so much. And I just think that's
really cool when people get into like the nerdiest profession
possible because of a movie, Like I know Star Trek
has done that for like a lot of people too,
But yeah, I think that's super cool. There's just been
(10:27):
like so many awesome people here. Joanna was here from
Gulikan that we did earlier this year. They're fabulous. I
got to meet someone, uh, Leonor if you're listening to this,
we talked to you at the booth and you were like, Oh,
I already listened to your show. That's really cool for
us to hear because I don't know who listens to us.
A lot of times doing this show, it feels like
you're just making it and throwing it into the void
(10:49):
because I don't know who listens and not. I have
no way of knowing that. So I also we did
an october Fest last weekend too, and I got to
talk to shout out to Elizabeth ed Urban r Effect
as well. She said her mom and her listen to
the show together, and I think that is so cute.
So we got to talk to so many people. That's great.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
The other person that I got to meet was really
cool was Tom Holland, director of child's play Fright Night,
And what we talked about with him the Langole ears.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Yes, I love that.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
It's so weird and I.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Got a I got a like a screenplay of Child's
play signed by him.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
That's cool and yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
He talked about the Lnglers.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
He mainly complained that Scream Factory or any of them
Boutique Blue Rays have not done the Langoliers.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah really why.
Speaker 7 (11:42):
So?
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Yeah, if you're I guess, if you're randomly listening to
radio in Cincinnati screen Factory.
Speaker 6 (11:46):
I will buy the highest dollar collectible edition of the
langol Ears, like if they like they if they give it,
you know, for a suggestion, like a big life size
you know, you know how big they were in the.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
Movie that large, I'll take out.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Comments to buy it.
Speaker 8 (12:08):
Do you have any comments on the comments?
Speaker 3 (12:14):
What if? What if? Roy?
Speaker 4 (12:15):
If they charge you five hundred dollars and it's just
cooked meat with teeth.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
There's not even a DVD in there, it's cooked.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
I can't say that I didn't know what I was
getting into.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Honestly, I think I'd be like I'd be upset and
a little bit stoked. If I got a DVD and
just opened and it was just me, I'd be like, well,
that's new.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Yeah, it's exactly.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
Transfer teeth.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Child's teeth anyway. Sorry, Yeah, Yeah, it's been a it's
been a wild weekend. There's so many people. It sold
out on Saturday. There's like thirty thousand people here. So
you can tell that I'm losing my voice a little bit.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Yeah, Friday. Friday was a bit of a mess. It
took her a lot of long time for people to
get in here.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Oh my gosh. The line on Friday, Yeah, was like
around the building like twice. It looked like I.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Don't think they realized exactly how big this was going
to be, because.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Yeah, I mean it's just gotten bigger and bigger every year.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
I mean, we can all, I think, especially you and
I we can all remember Scarefest when it was like tiny.
Speaker 6 (13:25):
So yeah, I have a cool story about the first
scare Fest.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
If you anybody here ever watches a The Lenglayers.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
Friday the thirteenth on DVD and Blu ray, anyone that
was produced after twenty eleven, they have a special feature
that has a panel of the Q and a panel
from the very first scare Fest. Oh for a bunch
of people that were there that year. Yeah, and they
pan over the audience and you can see my seventeen
year old self right in the front of the audience
(13:55):
at this Q and A panel, And I love telling
people how I am forever immortalized on every Blu ray
and DVD of Friday the thirteenth. You'll never know who
I am. I specifically pointed out to you. But I
think it's the coolest thing ever.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
That is really cool, that is super cool.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
There.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
Yes, sorry, Lehman was there. It was before Betsy Palmer died.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Oh Miller was there too.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
Sean Cunningham wasn't, but Victor Miller was there.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
I had a friend who Betsy Palmer hit on. Actually
what I had a friend that Betsy Palmer hit on
at the scare fist.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
That's amazing.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Uh and and uh they're over there in another booth
and they said that to me and I was like,
did you do it? And why they were at the time.
They were like, no, I didn't. I don't know why.
And I was like, why did you not? Why did
you not do that? Betsy Palmer, yeah, yeah, instant, yes, yes,
(14:55):
right yeah, Betsy state yes, well not.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
Right now because she's dead, but.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Even better, I don't know if never mind, I'm I'm
that is a joke. Please that she's that she's not dead?
Oh god, no, that's worse. Speaking of being immortalized, I
don't know if I've ever told you all. I have
an IMDb page and hilariously, it was for this remote
(15:23):
viewing documentary that I was on like a few years back,
apparently in twenty nineteen. I didn't remember what year it was. Luckily,
my friends I did this with have a booth here
because he had deleted his Facebook, so I had no
idea how to get in touch with the director again.
So I finally found it and It's on to Be.
Because I didn't know how to watch it anymore, I
was like, where is this? Like I know it still exists,
so anyway, Yeah, if you for some reason want to
(15:45):
watch this remote viewing documentary that we did, It's on
to Be. It's remote viewing experiments with Mark Holmberg. It
was super fun to do. I had never tried remote
viewing before. It was fun. I not doing great at.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
It, We're doing good.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Yeah, yeah, staff's coming around making sure every guy is
doing good, which is very nice, by the way, I
don't it took me so long. I kept staring at
the staff badges, being like, why does that look weird?
Before I realized it was staff spelled st a p
h because because it's like staff.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
In fact, I pointed it out like last year is
like why do they say that for? Do they not?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
I have done it for I genuinely have been like, wow,
are they really bad at spelling? I've been like really, yeah, yeah,
so anyway, yeah, we.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Get it, we get it at JO change it.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Back please, well you can at this point now it's
part of it. Now, it's just part of it.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Doesn't have to.
Speaker 6 (16:43):
Be Weren't there some people like in the comments for
recent posts like arguing about it You're.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Arguing in the Scarefest group about how staffed.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Heads around that it's just the you know, I'm gonna
go there, but by the way, it's staff.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
I'm gonna make a worse spelling of it and be like, no,
it's spelled this way. That's funny.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Yeah, it's you know. I feel like some of the
staff here, poor staff, have been getting some real hae been.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Getting a lot of like yeah, I feel like people
have just been a little like in general, yeah, because
I feel like today, I feel like the rest of
the weekend everyone's been pretty polite and like nice, but
today everyone's a little cranky. I get it. See the weekend.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
It's see end of the weekend.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
But there's a there's a couple of vendors that have
already kind of like packed up and got home, and yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
They tend to do that. Yeah, I think you can
get technically get in trouble for that.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Really.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Yeah, there's I've only seen two tables where it's just
empty now, and I was like, oh, well, I feel
like that.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
If you're gonna have like a you must stay until
the end of the corn rule, it should be for
everybody and not just the vendors.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Like, yeah, unless there's like a health reason.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
I guess there's like there's kind of not really way
to enforce that either, because if you just leave, you
you left. I don't know, but it's for them to
figure out.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Not me.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
What's Unfortunately for us though, like we we can go
out the front. I mean that's that's how we're going
to do it. Like we're going to be able to
go out the front because we don't have that much stuff.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
I brought my own, dolly. Yeah, so I ain't using
their cards. I'm rolling my stuff. I'm gonna roll it
back to my car if I have to. Yeah, they
have a new Uh, not that anybody's gonna care about
the logistics of this, but they have a new way
of doing this year to make sure that everyone's not
trying to load out the dock at ones, which is
a smart idea, but also I don't want to mess
with all that, so I'm just gonna use my own car, surely. Sure,
(18:33):
but i'mind of doing that and try to mitigate that
because that does. Like, yeah, when it's at the end
of this, everyone's gonna want to leave it once, So
I get it. It's smart they're working on. It's getting
bigger every year. Like we said, Saturday sold out, there's
like thirty thousand people. It was wild, absolutely wild, absolutely,
And there's that is a really cool costume right there.
I do either of you know what that's from. It's
(18:54):
like on a bunch of eyes and teeth, and that's
the only description I have.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
It looks like something out of all real monsters, but I.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Know it does. I don't think it is all real monsters.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
That cartoon is great, by the way. I love a
real monsters.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Yeah, and we're getting we're getting close to Halloween. What
was what was your all's favorite like creepy show as
a kid.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Uh uh, that's hard. I would for show. I would go,
are You Afraid of the Dark?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
And I don't have that shirt on anymore. That's what
I had on you.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
I saw you. I think I saw you wearing it earlier.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Yeah, I got it in one of the boots here, just.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Because I think it's one of the only shows where
the opening song and opening shots scared me.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Good.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Yeah, so I have.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
A story about that, and the reason I got that
shirt is that's kind of how I got into HERR
a little bit. When I was like probably like five
or six, one of my cousins was watching that and
the episode scared the absolute crap out of me. It
was the Quicksilver episode. If you rewatched that as an adult,
it's not good and it's not scary, and I don't
know why it scared me, But I rewatched that as
(19:57):
an adult and I was laughing through the whole thing.
But yeah, so we kind of found so the delineation
between Goosebumps and Are You for the Dark episodes because
they kind of blur together in your mind. Goosebumps tends
to be like a little bit more campy and like
happy ending. Are You Afraid of the Dark had some
like bleak stuff in it.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Yeah, there are some some like unhappy endings that that
kind of maybe prepares you for uh, non American horror.
You know that guy tends to be bleak.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Some good stuff in there. What three.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
The next one?
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Yeah, so this des ile three hundred, Yeah, no problem.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Well that's on radio.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
Now, are you a pretty the dark?
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Hey was closer to radio. Yes, Goosebumps. It would all
work out in the end in some way or another. Sure,
But are you afraid of the dark?
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
But for the first thing I ever really got into
horror wise.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Was two things. I'll tell you Goosebumps.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Of Goosebumps, the books are the show or both both? Both?
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Yeah, the books first for me too. The second thing
is when I was a kid, My I was apparently
like a big brat at the laundromat. Apparently that's when
my mother claims, and I believe it because I was
a child and children tend to be that way, children
do be.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Yeah, And apparently I like to climb into the.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
Dryers, oh my god.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
And my mother apparently almost dried me.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
Oh my god one time. Oh yeh was killed in
my bloody molltains.
Speaker 8 (21:43):
Yeah, now you just like unlocked a core childhood memory
where we have sleep over my friend's house one night
and we were like telling scary stories and one of
the people that was there, her scary story was that
a killer got in and killed us all and I,
in her story, I got killed.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
By the dryer. I was hiding in the dryer and
they turned it on. So shout out for that one.
Thanks for killing me in the dryer.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Yeah. Well, so.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
In order for she decided and the best way to
keep me out of the dryer was to invent a monster.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
The monster was called hand heels.
Speaker 8 (22:21):
That is a creepy name, and hand heels hands heels.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
I am so, I don't know whose kid, but I'm
passing this ledgend down to somebody's kid.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
My mother.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
My mother greed because my mother is is basically a
perfect human being.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
In my opinion, hand heels is great. I love it already.
I already have a mental image.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
She said that it was the people that are hand heels.
They run the dryer, they make it go round.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
And that's why is it like a hamster?
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Yeah, oh my god.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
And she described them basically as like just same size people,
but smaller. So if I saw somebody who was a
little shorter later on, I would scream hand heels.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Once in a while. But yeah, that's what that's what
she told me.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
She said that if I got the dryer, they would
get me and I'd become a handhel and they.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Would shrink you down and you'd have to run the dryer.
Speaker 6 (23:15):
Yeah, it's not about making then can we make a
handhels movie?
Speaker 5 (23:20):
I mean that's great, Like that is legitimately.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Very We'll make our own goose, but it would be
a short film, goose bump style, where it's just a
kid terrified of the dryer and they're like, mom, the hand.
Speaker 6 (23:33):
That's how popular cryptids and like s cps and things
like that are right now.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
But that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Yeah, that was my first, like fore in the horror.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
That is amazing and you could see where.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Everything developed from that.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Yeah, yeah you could.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Talk, man, it's okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, but
it's radio.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
It's live. We're here in a Yeah, as long as
you know, no one say anything weird that I have
to bleep out.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
It's yet heels was not too much for radio.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Well, well maybe after this it will be maybe they'll
be like, we don't talk about the hand heels on
the radio. It gives them power. I was super into
like Courage the Cowardly Dog as a kid, and in
retrospect that shows messed up.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
That slab episode will mess you upside it.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Yeah, yeah, like literal biblical curses of like locusts and stuff,
and they're just like, well, it is what it is.
This little pink dog is gonna solve solve the problems,
which explains a lot about me, genuinely. Was that a
lot of Scooby Doo classic I used to watch Scooby
(24:49):
Doo with my cousin, who was really no hor movies.
She might have been who kind of like got me
into a lot of that, And then like yeah, pretty
much from the moment I was like nine, we would
get to a Blockbuster. Ye to remember Blockbus. I love Blockbuster,
and I'd be like, all right, I'm and I rent
a movie and it was always like Children of the
Corn and my parents just like weren't really looking at
what I was renting. They're just like I'd sure whatever.
(25:11):
So I was just watching all these horror movies I
probably should not have been watching, but it's okay because
my mom somehow listening to this. Thanks for not paying
attention to that. It was probably the right call. I
don't think any of either of my parents were really
into like horror movies or anything. My mom looks like
sci fi, and my dad pretty much solely watched spaghetti
(25:35):
Westerns and Emeralds Cooking Show.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
You know, I don't know about the cooking show, but
I will.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
I like spaghetti westetti.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
I'm I think we're all very genre people. Have a
good genre film and Westerns are in my top three
genres that I really like.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Western.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Oh.
Speaker 6 (26:00):
I was just talking to the Mark about this about
movies that I there's so many movies outside.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
Of or that I love. I was, I like The Fugitive,
It's one of my favorites.
Speaker 6 (26:14):
I really like political thrillers, like The Hunt for Right
October is one of my favorite.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
They're not my favorite, But I do love a good
heist film. Oh yeah, Like I love when, like any
TV show does their heist episode. I love it uh
DS nine Star Trek DS nine where they had that
heist episode and then like the one after that was
like their baseball episode. She was like, the Height episode
(26:40):
was it's all in the simulator for Vic Fontaine.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
I know it's not there, it's it is.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
It is a Holidacks fellow. Sweet hello sweet. Yeah. But yeah,
so it's in that where they have to pull off
this heist to say Vic because something went wrong with
the holograms or something. I don't remember the exact thing.
But getting to see a bunch of you know, humans
and aliens, all dressed to the nines in suits pulling
off a heist caper in space, it's perfect. In the
(27:11):
next episode, there's playing baseball, and I'm like, I love this.
Speaker 8 (27:13):
This is.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
I love and people hate the baseball episode.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
I love base Hey we got somebody here. You want
to tell us your best experience this weekend?
Speaker 2 (27:24):

Getting my TV Predator stratocaster signed by all the other
faces I ever wanted.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
That's awesome. Thank you, Yeah, thank you for telling us
about you. Awesome. Meet Yeah Clive Barker. I got to
meet Sean Whalen and he is like the nicest person ever,
so so can over state that. Yeah, it's been a
fun weekend. Yeah, we got candy if you'd like some candy.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Yeah. The Strange Talk one.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Will be where your voice will be Yeah yeah, Strangehok.
We talk about all things strange, weird, paranormal, and then
they talk about Harmaby podats Alex. Nice to meet you. Yeah. Yeah,
so it's been a fun weekend. There's so many, so
many people here still Hi, Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
Yeah, this is this is I think this might become
a tradition recording here.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
I Sunday seems to be like a good day for
it because it's busy, but it's like not so busy
that you can't record because it's just so loud.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Usually Friday would be the best day.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Everybody Fridays and Sundays might be there. Saturday is just
too busy.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
Saturday I would rather. I would rather be buried.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
And it was a lot. That was why I took
like a break halfway through the day, just because I
was like, there's too many people. Which worked out so
I could get you all.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
Some flyers were I'm We're forever grateful for that. Yeah,
but I have a more egg. I'm probably the least
annoying extrovert on the planet.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
I don't know if I've ever discussed this on the show.
I'm an introvert. Why do I have a radio show?
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Yeah, and I'm pretty sure you're introverted.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
Humongous introvert.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Yeah, genuinely, Like I feel like I do all these events,
so like maybe people who turn into into the show
like have this like miss like idea of how I
am when I'm not you know, at events and doing
stuff for the show. I'm at home, Like playing SIMS
four is what I've been doing lately. Yeah, I sit
(29:42):
at home and do nothing. I run trivia, I run karaoke,
I work in it. I mean, like, we're all introverts.
If you're an extrovert and you're an it.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
How Yeah, I don't understand that.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
How every job I've ever had has been interacting people.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Yeah, people too.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
But my advice to.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
All other extroverts if you are coming off as because
because I will admit, extroverts can be quite a lot.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Sometimes it's about knowing how to temperate because there's also
somethings I need to remind myself that, oh yeah, I
should maybe actually be talking and not just standing in
a corner lurking like a creature.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
The best thing you can do as an extrovert is
marry an introvert.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Oh yeah, and I married an extreme introvert.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Yes, and that grounded me and everything that I need
to understand about introvertse.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
So when she is like, I can't take any more.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
There's to meet people I need to go, I'm just like, okay, babe, fine,
Like you know.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Joe and I are both hardcore introverts, so we're both
just like, yeah, leaving.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
I will handle this from here. I will do the
people talking and you can go.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Uh, you can go whatever you do. Hi, Yeah, we're
doing something different. Do you're we're recording for my radio show.
Do you want to tell us about your favorite thing
about this weekend? No, it's okay if you don't. Yeah,
that's fine. I like it though. Yeah, yeah, do you have, yeah,
(31:13):
your favorite thing? Just remember it's for the radio.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
It is for the radio thirteen.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Yes, no swearing, just no swearing. Okay, yeah, here here.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Are you? What do you think?
Speaker 2 (31:35):
I think?
Speaker 3 (31:35):
That's fine, that's fine, that's.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Not yeah, that's not explicit. My favorite thing about Scarefest
was what was their name Ponters against Tate at the
Haunters against Tate table. I paid five dollars to get paddled.
That was my favorite thing by a suckubist. I think
you said it's amazing. Yeah, I love your Velmont costume.
By the way, I was dressed up as Daphne yesterday.
(31:56):
Oh you got one.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
By any chance. But before that, by any chances you
can the booths number for that? Do you know where
they are? Because I for for scientific purposes.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Two from us? Yeah, yeah, did you say you had one? Yeah,
the creeper truck. Oh that's a good one.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
If you all would like some candy, please feel free,
all of our cards, all that good stuff.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
Strange Talk will be the one where your voices will
be on.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Yes, yeah yeah, have a great scare, have a great Sunday.
Speaker 5 (32:35):
Oh Halloween, so Halloween is beat?
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Yes, getting places? We always got something to do Halloween.
Speaker 5 (32:46):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
This is a threatening that is so weirdly threatening.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
I had to do that, you can.
Speaker 6 (32:56):
It was so funny you were talking about like the
jobs were I've always you know, you've always worked with people,
and I am very much an introvert, but like I'm
I'm a supervisor at a call center and the only
people I talk to are Karen's. But I've always worked
at call centers, and then prior to that, I did
delivery driving a lot, like I did delivery driving for Domino's,
(33:19):
Donado's and Jimmy John Jimmy and so most of my
jobs have always been customer service oriented, and I can
like mask and go into this customer service mode where
I have no issues talking with people over the phone,
which is weird because people who are introverts hate talking.
Speaker 5 (33:37):
On the phone.
Speaker 6 (33:38):
But me, like, I can really like separate it. I
guess when I know for sure that it's I guess
my job to do it or whatever. But if I'm
out in public, I have to have like four or
five shots, which you know is really healthy to do
to call my soul.
Speaker 5 (33:53):
My social anxiety.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Yeah, it's not great to do. I think I think
you might have the same thing I do where it's
that you can get over it, it's that you go
into this sort of performance mode. Yeah, it's like, yes,
I'm very extroverted, and I will talk to everyone right
now because this is a character that I'm playing and
not myself.
Speaker 5 (34:12):
Yeah, I think you hit the nail on that.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
It is a little bit that dissociation which spoilers. Yeah,
I have to do that a little bit for the
show too, So you guys are going to see the
character that I play for the show, which is really
just me. It's just that I have to pretend extroverts.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
We'll talk, tell you sorry, no.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
You're good, tell us tell you this.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
But we also get emotionally exhausted.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Oh yeah, you just can't get it because you're an extrovert.
Speaker 4 (34:36):
It takes a lot more for us to get emotionally exhausted.
But when we do, we crash hard. Yes, it is
when I'm ready to be by myself like Hannah, Yeah,
host Hannah. She goes on work trips and I'm so
emotionally exhausted that i just can't wait to like live
(34:56):
like a ninja turtle for a little while.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
I heard it so hard.
Speaker 6 (35:02):
I can relate so hard. That's the worst thing about
like stuff. Is I my social battery? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (35:09):
From that, because I like, you know, kind of have
to go in that mode.
Speaker 6 (35:12):
And then I go home and I'm like, my desire
to do literally anything else after.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
That is Shawn, I I get done here today I
am going to go home and I'm going to play
video games. I'm not gonna talk to anybody for like
three days.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
Funny enough, we have somebody in front of the booth.
Would you like to tell us your favorite experience at Scarefest?
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (35:33):
No, we should let this guy talk. Hey, audience, it's Creature.
Speaker 9 (35:39):
I'm making a little special appearance for the show today.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Yeah, Creatures been with us. Creatures been manning the booth
while we're talking away on this. Because I only brought
through microphones with me for some reason, I don't know,
I can't count I my.
Speaker 9 (35:51):
My favorite experiences. I got to as you all know,
I'm a big Scooby Doo fan. I got to stand
two feet away from Matthew Lillard as he walked around. Yeah,
I didn't say anything because.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
I didn't want to try to lick him or anything
like that.
Speaker 9 (36:06):
And I got to use the bathroom next to the
main zombie from Land of the Dead by Romero, which
I was very excited about.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
That he's the best part of that movie.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
He really is. Did you all see that Matthew Lillard's
booth has become sort of just a shrine because so
many people brought art to give to him that has
just become like a shrine of like Scooby Doo art,
and so it's kind of a cult. It is definitely
a cult, which like, fine, he's probably cool, but like
I'm also like, this is like Matthew Lillard.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
Yeah, there's kind of a cult personality there.
Speaker 5 (36:41):
Yeah, it is.
Speaker 6 (36:43):
I mean, honestly, now here's the thing he deserves, all that,
all the fame.
Speaker 5 (36:48):
In all of the pool that he gets.
Speaker 6 (36:50):
This is a very wholesome, genuine human being outside.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
Of being it is. But I do I do worry
about sort of cultifying anybody. I think that that is
a very precarious place to put someone on and I
would not want to deal with that Parish Parisential relationships
are already difficult. So yeah, I want to go.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Back to the bathroom comment from Creature.
Speaker 4 (37:13):
I think everybody has a con bathroom story, right, yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
Uh, and my best you will one day one day, unless.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
You just realize I have not gone to the bathrooms
and near the whole time I've been here.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
It's actually not that bad here.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
I have just been like walking to the lander.
Speaker 4 (37:31):
The the the the gendered bathrooms over here, the one
that is described for women is usually out the door,
and there have.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
Been multiple times gonna There's.
Speaker 4 (37:43):
Been multiple times where I will go in there and
I will hear a woman talking on the other side,
and I'm just like, you know, what do you do?
You You did the right thing, you went into the
men's bathroom.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
But my best bathroom story for scare Fence was like,
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Gonna ask your worst Oh, I know about this again.
Speaker 3 (38:04):
This is Doug Bradley from Hell Raiser.
Speaker 4 (38:07):
I was going in and I went to the first
stall and was starting to use the bathroom, and I
saw Doug Bradley come in behind me, and he went
into the other stall and he sat down and he
let out the biggest.
Speaker 3 (38:22):
Fart I have possibly ever heard in my entire life.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
And now you're telling the public about it.
Speaker 4 (38:28):
And so my story is that I heard Penhead give
the biggest fart I have ever heard in the public
bathroom of Rapperina. I don't even know how else to
describe that other than Doug Bradley farted next to me.
Just that's what it's like to be at these cons,
(38:50):
is that sometimes sometimes you'll go to the bathroom and
you'll see Dave Sheridan left a scary movie poster and
it'll say like Officer doofy took a duchie? Yeah, and
it'll heal like sign it so someone can take it.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
That's wild.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Yeah, that's that's just bathroom humor here.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
It's just a reminder that no matter who you are,
we all have to use the bathroom at some.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
Point, nice and dry.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
That is not a joke about the bathrooms. There was
a sprite incident in our booth and one of our
chairs got soaked in sprite.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Do you have a bathroom story at Scarefist?
Speaker 5 (39:27):
Not as cool as your alls? I mean, it's just general.
Speaker 6 (39:32):
I was in the bathroom at the same time as
Gunner Hansen. This is the second or third scare Fest ever.
I want to say the second, and I want to
say that because this.
Speaker 5 (39:42):
Is like the old there's two years where.
Speaker 6 (39:47):
The stuff that happened at the Kentucky Theater where the
people who were here at the con went to.
Speaker 5 (39:51):
Watch the movie with everybody.
Speaker 6 (39:53):
Gunnar Hansen did the same thing where Texas chain is
all out at the Kentucky theater. Anyways, Yeah, I don't
don't have anything more interesting than that.
Speaker 5 (40:01):
But we shared the bathroom. At the same time, I didn't.
Speaker 6 (40:04):
Say anything to him because even even in my younger years,
I always think it's like, really weird to gush to celebrities,
like when they're at a convention when they're not at
their booth like they you know, they.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Do that there at the Yeah, at the same time,
it'd be weird if someone's like trying to pee and
you're like, hey, man, I love your.
Speaker 4 (40:21):
I mean, the only thing I was going to ask
Doug Bradley is if he's gone to the doctor.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
So wait, you asking what if he's gone to the doctor.
Speaker 5 (40:30):
If he's going to the doctor, I'm.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
Telling you, man that fart was bad.
Speaker 5 (40:37):
Well, you're just really concerned for his health. That's really
you know.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
You know what I just realized we maybe you should
explain what Scarefest is because I just said, hey, we're here.
You all have been going here longer than I have.
You want to say what it is? You're fine, you
all want to say what Scarefist is?
Speaker 5 (40:58):
What am I explained?
Speaker 3 (40:58):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (40:59):
What where explaining what Scarefest? We've been just talking about
how we're here, But we should probably explain what Scarefest.
Speaker 5 (41:04):
Is or explaining what Scarefest.
Speaker 2 (41:06):
Is yeah, oh.
Speaker 5 (41:09):
Just outside of being a horror convention.
Speaker 6 (41:10):
Yeah, well, you know what's funny because it's always been
built as a horror and paranormal convention.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
I mean I didn't even know about the paranormal part. Honestly,
I was just like, I don't know, that sounds cool.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
We're in yeah, I know.
Speaker 6 (41:25):
To be honest with you, like, whenever I went to
Scarefest the first few times, admittedly I was like seventeen eighteen,
I didn't really know what conventions were. Again, this goes
back to me being an introvert. I don't like to
go out in gigantic public spaces, so even as a
you know, ultra nerd, I wasn't Maybe I knew what
comic con was, but I thought that was like an
(41:46):
isolated thing and that.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
Was the only sort of like comic convention.
Speaker 5 (41:50):
That ever happened.
Speaker 6 (41:51):
But I didn't even think of, like or realize that
conventions were a thing, and so I didn't know horror
conventions were a thing. So imagine my surprise. You know,
after this, you I learned, you know about Whorehound and
all that other stuff.
Speaker 5 (42:06):
But yeah, yeah, this is.
Speaker 6 (42:10):
Where you come to buck your uh your favorite, you know,
spooky celebrities you see in all the movies.
Speaker 4 (42:15):
By the way, shout out to Horrorhound in Cincinnati because
they just announced Ty West.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
I'm going to lose my uh oh, that's why.
Speaker 3 (42:22):
Here's my marvels. And if I get to meet thy West, that.
Speaker 2 (42:25):
Would be cool. Yeah. Also, Scarefest is based in Lexington, Kentucky.
Obviously already shows out of Cincinnati, but I live in Lexington.
Speaker 3 (42:37):
I'm sorry if I just added you as a Kentuckian.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
No I mentioned before on here. I mean I've talked
about it, like I work for a bourbon distillery on here.
I will not name which one, but I do work
for a bourbon distillery, and I live in Kentucky, which
is about one of the most Kentucky things you can
do is work in bourbon or horses. That's that's it.
But yeah, it isn't like in Kentucky. Lison's been getting
(43:03):
like some really cool conventions because we got Cryptocon here too.
Like I feel like we're really like punching above our
weight as far as like the cool stuff we.
Speaker 3 (43:10):
Yeah, Lexington is getting.
Speaker 4 (43:14):
I mean it's two big cons yeah, really are Comic
Con and Scarefest.
Speaker 3 (43:19):
Uh yeah, comic Con is here is massive.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
At this point, It's huge. It's so big to.
Speaker 4 (43:27):
The point I think they still the last time I
said comic Con they had the guests an actual rapp arena.
Speaker 2 (43:33):
Oh, because they just couldn't fit.
Speaker 3 (43:34):
In somebody, Yeah too.
Speaker 6 (43:35):
I didn't know that's last year until maybe today where
somebody said they separated the vendors from the celebrities.
Speaker 4 (43:41):
And I think Scarefest is getting to the point where
they probably need to consider.
Speaker 2 (43:44):
That, honestly. Yeah. What what is unfortunate about that is
because when you have them together, it just clogs up
the walkways and nobody can walk through. And that that
has been like a little bit of an issue this weekend.
Staft's been pretty on top of it, where they're like, hey,
you guys need to keep moving. You can't just stand here.
Them props for that.
Speaker 4 (44:03):
The customer service side of me makes me side with
staff here.
Speaker 3 (44:07):
Yes, it always will, because I guarantee you the people.
Speaker 2 (44:10):
That are that are currently imagine how much of a
night there they've had to deal with them. They haven't
seen because they've handled it.
Speaker 4 (44:16):
The people posting on it and being like, oh the
line was this long line was this long.
Speaker 3 (44:20):
I paid this, I paid it. You knew, you knew
what it was going to be.
Speaker 6 (44:24):
Like here every single week we deal with people who
constantly threatened to you know, lambasted us all over the
internet on everything they can do because of a something
that they did on their end, and they don't want
to take responsibility for it. So yes, one thing.
Speaker 2 (44:43):
Be nice to her.
Speaker 5 (44:44):
I'm always trapped to believe.
Speaker 6 (44:47):
That the business, the facility, whatever, aren't the ones that fault.
Speaker 2 (44:54):
They're honestly and honest they've done a pretty good jobs.
The you know, no Halloween theme in their playlist.
Speaker 4 (45:02):
I want to point out that they're also volunteers. Yeah,
they're not, like, they're not getting paid to do this.
And to my understanding, I know Brandon and Nicole, to
my understanding, they don't make a lot of profit off them.
Speaker 2 (45:15):
I'm sure they don't.
Speaker 3 (45:16):
They throw their money back into this.
Speaker 2 (45:18):
Yeah, and every year it's how it gets bigger and masters.
Speaker 3 (45:21):
They've bought it, it's been bigger and bigger.
Speaker 4 (45:23):
So I fully believe that they're just throwing them their
money into this to try to make it as best
as possible.
Speaker 3 (45:30):
So if you want this to run, smoother than volunteer.
Speaker 2 (45:34):
Yeah, volunteer. Also, it's like a great way to be
able to like get in for free. Yeah, you do
some work, but you also get to like go around
and see like all the cool stuff. You get so
many cool costumes here.
Speaker 3 (45:43):
You're almost like guaranteed to meet all the celebrities too.
Speaker 2 (45:46):
Yeah, I'm sure, because you get to they have their
own security, but they also kind of like have to
usher people around.
Speaker 6 (45:52):
I think they were going to try to do the
separation this year because Wes had commented Wes a is
one of the persons who runs scare You will have
heard somebody who mentioned announcements, why don't you separate the
guests and the and the vendors, And he's like, well,
we couldn't get it this year, So I assume maybe
that's what.
Speaker 2 (46:09):
They're planning next year.
Speaker 4 (46:10):
So yeah, yeah, I think that we're at that limit
where they're going to do it. We'll see what happens
next year. The thing about the thing about scare Fest
is that January first is almost always the first test announcement.
Speaker 2 (46:25):
That's wild because that's only three months from now.
Speaker 3 (46:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (46:29):
Yeah, when I say that, it's like you start planning
for next scare Fest is like the day after scare Fest.
Speaker 2 (46:35):
Well, I already I already have plans.
Speaker 4 (46:38):
Yeah, well it's not our problem, but it's their problem.
Speaker 2 (46:41):
Oh I meant plans for us, but uh yeah, we
got like about ten minutes left. Anything else? Do you
want want to talk about Scarefest.
Speaker 4 (46:51):
It's been some growing pains here, yeah this year. Yeah,
and that's okay.
Speaker 2 (46:57):
The people getting in I think was the biggest growing pain,
but they were They were also like timing that well
to make sure that like a bunch of people were
not coming in at once, which is good, but it
did create like a line.
Speaker 4 (47:08):
There's nothing wrong with growing pains and people. People are
not People are only human and they can only do
so much.
Speaker 3 (47:17):
So just be patient. They'll get you in.
Speaker 2 (47:19):
And you're still gonna have fun even if you stand
in a long line.
Speaker 4 (47:22):
And I'm sorry, I don't believe anybody who says they
don't get a refund.
Speaker 3 (47:25):
I've gotten refunds from Scarefest before.
Speaker 4 (47:27):
It's oh yeah, are the people saying that, Yeah, it's oh,
come on.
Speaker 5 (47:34):
They've been really good about that sort of stuff.
Speaker 4 (47:36):
Dial up the dramatics, well, yeah, for sure, for sure,
But like growing pains are happening. We're kind of in
a transitionary phase between old scare Fest and what will
be scare Fest in a few years.
Speaker 2 (47:50):
Done of a new era.
Speaker 4 (47:52):
And it's gonna be different, interesting, and I think for
the better.
Speaker 2 (47:56):
Yeah. Well, I think we can go ahead and wrap there. Yeah,
unless you got something else you want to add, Okay,
Well we'll go ahead and sign up from Strange Talk.
Scareface has been super fun. Hope to see you all
there next year. And yeah, good night and good luck.
