Oh yeah, back in like February.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Our friend had an awesome experience there and it was
definitely I got to go there. It was definitely an
awesome place, awesome experience, especially if you love horror movies.
So we asked them, you know, hey, you got a
movie that you would recommend for us to do a
review on, and he pointed us to some figurines they
had on the wall from a movie called Haunt. So
(03:11):
we said, yeah, there's one, and we got a couple
of the suggestions from them from the other guys that
were there, But this is the one we're doing this week.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
I mean we we we would.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Be watching movies till next next April if if we
just listen, watched every single one.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
They were talking about a lot of differ ones, but
he said specifically, watch Haunt, So we did. We checked
that one out, and and you knows, as true as
it always is with I'm finding these movies every week
is I've got, however many different subscriptions to however many
different places I still have to rent the movie from him.
(03:55):
Seems like every week I've.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Already subscribed to the fact that like every.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
We're going to have to rent everyone pretty much, but
it's very rare when we when we don't.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yeah, I mean the one we did last week, I
didn't have to write because we're already on something that
I had.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
But yeah, Paramount plus.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I had Monstrous. Yeah. But so this week, watch a movie,
hant and you want to tell us a little bit
about the movie.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Okay, So the movie, it's a bunch of college kids. Well,
first off, it's a bunch of sorority girls or college girls.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
And they it's Christmas night.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
They go to like a pretty pretty hot spot local bar.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
They run into like two dudes.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
So it's like four girls and two dudes, and they're
leaving the bar and they decide that they want to
go to a haunted house. They find a flyer for
a quote unquote extreme haunted house. Yeah, so they drive
out to the middle of nowhere and they find this
(05:11):
like very weird haunted house in the middle of nowhere.
There's like a group of like four other like young
college aged kids before them too, right.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Yeah, there was another group that went in just before
they did.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Went in.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Just before they did, they got created by a very creepy.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Clown. Yeah, he was a clown.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Right, I mean I think they were all clowns.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Yeah, I mean not figuratively, I mean literally.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Yeah, everybody in there was werring some some type of mask.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Well, anyway, make a long story short, they want to
get into the haunted house. The guy plays some weird
fucking thing where it's like doesn't charge them any money
to get into it, which should have been a big red.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Flag, but he gives them a key.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
They open the key box, and uh, there's waivers and
like in the waiver it says like they have to
put their cell phones in.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
The lock box for.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
The amount of time that they're in the haunted house.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
But so they do.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
They all take their phones out, they put it in
the lock box, they get to keep the key, and
then they get led.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Into the haunted house.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
At first, you're under the impression, you know, it's just
a bunch of college kids going through a haunted house,
not so much of a big deal. But then you
find out that it's actually not like an.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Actual haunted house.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
It's a haunted house full of people that are dressed
up who are actually cold blooded killers, and they're actually
murdering people in this quote unquote haunted house.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Right, So the first scene that they have is the
witch that they've got, like they're like behind a fence.
She's like behind a chain leg fence. She basically stabbed
somebody in the face with a hot poker.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
If you were paying attention, did you catch this in
the beginning? So the first group that went in, yeah,
we had a girl that was.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Dressed like.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
The Blue Witch for the good Witch from Wizard of Oz. Yeah,
that was the girl that had the hot poker stuck
to her face, right, Yeah, But they they thought it
was a trick.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Right because as soon as she does it, there's smoke
blows up in the curtains drop or whatever, and so
you can't see what happens after. You just hear her
screaming and then it's over. So they're all like, was
that real? Was that not? They were all debating on
whether or not it was real or just really good
special effects.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Or I think that they thought there was really good
special effects, but they didn't realize that they just witnessed
a snuff film, like literally, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Yeah, And then they move on to the next one,
which is the guess the body part wall.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Oh yeah, and then that's kind of when when the
movie turns.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Yeah, because that's when the girl, that's when the one
gets cut with a razor blade while she's got an
arm inside of there. Yeah, Bailey sticks her hands in
there and she's feeling right, she can't feel anything, and
then all of a sudden, shutes pull her arm out.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
And she's covering in gashes. Right, she's all cut up,
waiting legit. So that's when you kind of get the idea.
And then I think there was another scene, all right,
so that happens, and then one of their friends who
(09:17):
was dressed like.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
What the fuck? She was dressed like a scarecrow, I
want to say, or was it the cowardly lion?
Speaker 3 (09:31):
One of their friends falls through a trap door because
there's one scene where they're on there, like knees and hands,
crawling through like a tunnel made out of like wooden palettes,
like factory palettes.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Yeah, and there's a there's a trap door.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
So one of their friends falls through that trap door
and she gets the poker right through the right through
the head, and they all so they literally so one one.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Girl gets her arm all cut up the ship and
then the next scene you see.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Is that that which character again with the burning hot
poker and she just rams it right.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Through the girl's hat and kills her. Yeah, So then
you know it's on. It's like people are getting killed, right,
this is crazy, this is.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Fucked up, right, somebody you know just gets murdered.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Yeah, yep, so do you want to go on?
Speaker 1 (10:33):
And then what happens after the she gets killed with
the hot poker and then what they then they find
they find one of the guys in the in the
in there and started help start asking him for help, right.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Yeah, and he kind of plays it cool in the beginning.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
He's like whoa, Like it's all just the facts, like
we until.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Safe place, blah blah blah. Like he tries to feed
him a barrel of bullshit.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Right, and then then the guy Evan, the one who
the bigger guy, he gets outside with that with that.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Just like like like look, man, like we just want
to get the fuck out of here, like we're done,
we don't want to be here anymore.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
They're trying to get they're trying to make their way out.
They get to what's supposed to be an emergency exit
and it's just all bricked up. Yeah, And so Evan
gets outside with the guy with the ghost mask because
he I think he fell through he was the one
who fell in the trap door, right, and then makes
it out and then the guy goes outside and he's
(11:42):
got a hammer. The guy with the ghost mask has
a hammer with him. They go outside and he kills
Evan with the hammer outside. Yes, so even though he
was playing the cool and saying, oh no, I just
work here, whatever, he's still he's still going to kill
people too.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
He's a he's a shady fuck it.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Nathan finds the phones, finds the phone. He finds the
phone because they're with the clown and he's getting ready
to destroy it, and yes, texts their location to Sam,
which is the.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Pretty much the main character.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Sam's Sam's Sam is uh Angela, Angela's boyfriend.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Uh yes, yes, but in the in the.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Harper sorry, that's that's Harper's. So Sam is Harper's boyfriend
who was abusive and.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Because in the beginning of the movie she was covering
up a black guy with with makeup.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Right, So they text the location of Sam and then
he gets to the house. He's on his way to
the house as they keep going through this through this
maze or tunnel or whatever, mm hmm. And so Harper
(13:04):
enters an escape room similar to her childhood bedroom, and
then she started having flashbacks. Harper is the one who
was having all these weird flashbacks about her dad.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
And yeah, her dad was abusive.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Being abusive to her, having her ship childhood. That was
kind of that kind of came out of nowhere. So
she hides under the bed in this room, and that's
when the guy comes back into the room.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Yeah, the freaky guy.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
There's a scene too when he like he takes he's
like over her.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Yeah, he takes his mask off, and.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
I is that makeup or is that like a real
because I know there's got people that do that type
of shit.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Yeah, I mean most of the Yeah. So the thing
the thing with this movie is the people who are
in all these weird masters, ghosts, devils. There's not you know,
the witch. When they take the mask off, they look
like the people they look like the mask their face.
The mask is an imitation of their face essentially.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
So like the guy who's like dressed like the devil,
he takes his mask off and he's literally he's got
like his eyeballs tattooed black.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
You know what. It reminds me of what is remember
Lockshot and Barrel from Nightmare Before Christmas. Yes, like they
have the mask, but they take the masks off and
their face looks exactly like their masks. Yeah, that's pretty
much what these people are. And so they've all got
all these crazy in plants.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I don't want to use the word freaks.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
But you use it. Yeah, they've they've got.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
They live in an alternative lifestyle. I guess, I don't
know any other way how to put it.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Yeah, they've they've got piercings, and they've got implants in
their faces. They've got you know, all different kinds of tattoos.
Like you said, the eyeballs were tattooed black, Like this
had like.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Cane implants in his face that made it look like
he had like horns, and his whole face was like
tattooed Like I said, his eyeballs were tattooed black.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
It was pretty freaky.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Yeah he was.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
He was a lot scarier without the mask, yeah what
I mean.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
So, Yeah, so there's that.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Scene she finds a way, she allegedly finds the key
to get out, but it's all just a setup because
it's like.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
When she turns the key in the room and shoots
off a shotgun, right am I right?
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Yeah? So I mean everything in this house, everything in
this haunted house designed to either kill them or lead
them to be killed. Yes, there is no there's not
supposed to be any way to get out of this house.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
I mean there's there's a scene. Oh there's tons of
booby traps too. So, like Angela, the girl I watched
this last night too, there's a scene where she like
she steps on like a bunch of nails and they
go through her foot. Yeah, and then she's like crawling
on her hands and knees and her hands get stuck
to what like roofing tar or something.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Yeah, something really really sticky.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
That literally ripped the skin off the palms of her hands.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Yeah, that was pretty graphic. Uh.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
One of the other girls, she gets attacked by one
of the killers and he sticks like a hay fork
through her head.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
And then then.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
The friend who's who's Angela's friend, the one that was
her roommate in.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
College, is that Harper?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Harper?
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Yeah, so there's the scene where Angela is fighting and
she rams the key and the devil guy's eye, which
was awesome, and then he like gets on top of
her and he's like strangling her to death, and she
puts her finger in his his his eye that he
just got stabbed in, and like raises his head and
(17:33):
the shotgun blows his head off.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
So and then they the uh, the characters in this
Haunted House.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
They dress up Angela's friend Harper as.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
One of the monsters, and Angela accidentally kills her.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
With the pitchfork.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Yeah, and then you know, it's kind of fuck. You're like,
oh ship, you know, and then uh, Harper at least
tells her like, hey, they're coming for you. So at
this point, there's only like, there's only two people left alive.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
It's it's Angela and.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
It's it's Harper and Nathan. Sorry messing the names up.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Okay, So Harper and Nathan are the only two people
left alive, and Nathan was able to get to Harper's
phone and send a text to Harper's douchebag abusive boyfriend
who has a GPS tracker on her. So he actually
(18:38):
shows up to the the haunted house, right.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
He showed up, but he didn't last very long.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
He didn't last very long, but it was important that
he showed up.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Yeah, because of the ending, you know. So what was
it name? Harper? Yeah, okay, So Harper.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
And Nathan they somehow they uh, they outsmart the rest
of the members of the Haunted House.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
So yeah, Nathan, Nathan kills a guy addressed as a ghosts.
They encounter a man of vampire masks. He removes the
mask and says he removes the mask, showing a normal face,
and he explains that he didn't know the performers were
going to kill people.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
He's like, he's like, they told me it was going
to be extreme, but I didn't know they were going
to kill people.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Yeah, And then after he got after he got a
job there, he found out it was a cult that
makes extreme modification of their face and that once he
had his first kill, he would also get his own
mask essentially.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
And then so like he's trying to legit help them.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
And he goes through like an old like it looks
like a pirate treasure, but it's got all props in it,
and he's like, there's a there's a pistol in here.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
I know there's a pistol in here.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
He tries, he tries to help him escape, and then
he gets he gets shot by the zombie who has
the pistol already. Yes, that's when Nathan and Harp were
able to escape, and they kill the witch. When they
do it, they walk, they climb out that door. They
smash your head in the door and the escape badge.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
So yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
And then so at that point there's only two killers left.
It's the initial clown from the beginning. And there was
a part in the beginning when they walked first walked
into the haunted house and they realized that the the
walls were soaked in oil.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
And then later on we see the guy who is
dressed up as.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
A clown.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
He he, he likes the thing on, so he puts
the whole place ablaze, you know.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
What I mean.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Yeah, So, as as Nathan and Harper are leaving, they
managed to kill the guy dresses as a zombie. Yes,
And they get into Sam's truck and they take off.
And then while when they after they leave, the guy
dresses a clown burns the attraction down.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Yes, And then they get to the hospital Nathan stabilized.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Yeah, Harper and Harper right.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Yeah, Okay. Harper fills out her release form and realizes
that the clowns took down all their personal information, including
their home addresses, so so she realizes that. And then
later on, in a very home alone manner, the clown
(21:55):
gets to her house and is going to kill her.
There's plenty to kill her, and ends up getting stuck
from the same type of trap that he set up
for her with the nails and the glue.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Yes, she booby traps it, and he like he goes,
he puts his foot through nails, he falls forward, his
hands get stuck on the same sticky shit that Harper
was stuck at. And then he looks to the wall
where there's a a gun mount and the gun is missing,
and and Harper pretty much racks the shotgun. And she's like,
(22:32):
because the whole thing was like show me your face.
Did you notice that, like all the people wanted.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
To show their faces.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Yeah, and she blows the guy's brains out and that's.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
The end of the movie.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Yep. Yeah, so this is pretty recent.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Movie, which is pretty cool. I thought the ending was dope.
I always like a little Vigilanti justice at the end.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Yeah, So it's pretty recent movie. It's twenty nineteen. That's
so not super Reason, but six years old.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Yeah, had a in kindergarten.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Huh, they said, it's in kindergarten.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
I I liked it, man, I thought it was cool.
I thought it was unique.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
The killings were a little you know, like they could
have they could have did more.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
With the killings.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
I guess maybe they just thought the concept of the
movie was was better than the kill scenes, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Yeah, it was kind of an interesting thing. They didn't
really they didn't dig a lot into the background of
the cult or anything like that. You didn't figure out
why they were like that, You didn't, you know, it
was just it was just killer clowns who you know,
(23:56):
change their faces. That's I don't know. There wasn't There
wasn't much there as to why they did what they did,
or why they were killers, or where the cult came
from or who they were.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
It was pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
I thought, Like I said, like, remember the one girl
who like literally mentioned she was afraid of flighters like
three or four times. Yeah, I thought for sure, I'm like, Okay,
something fucked with a spider is going to happen to
that girl at some point, right.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
But you know what I'm saying, because she said it
so many times.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
You're thinking it's the setup for something.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
But no, she was the one that just got the
hot poker through the head. Yeah, I don't know. I
thought maybe they.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Were going to tie her down and ram a tarantula
down the throat or something, you know, Like, I mean.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
That's just the vibe I was getting, were you.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
I mean, yes, arackness, Deathicus Spider.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
You know what I mean, something along those lines, something, But.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
It never happened.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
But I mean, like I said, maybe maybe you know, hey,
Elon Roth produced it. For those of you who don't know,
Elon Roth was Eli Roth was the guy who did
all the Hostile movies.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
He's kind of a horror legend in his own right.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
So maybe he just he just and we all know
in Hostile they find elaborate ways.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
To kill people if you've seen the movies. Yeah, but uh,
maybe he just thought the.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Kill scenes weren't really didn't need to be crazy because
the concept of the movie itself was was substantial enough.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Yeah, do you know what I mean? It was directed
It was written and directed by Scott Back and Brian
Woods who.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Yeah, but it was produced by E.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Scott Breck and Brian Woods who they co wrote the
post apocalyptic horror A Quiet Place. They wrote and directed
The sup They wrote and directed the supernatural thriller night
Light in twenty fifteen, Haunt, and the science fiction action
action thriller sixty five I Don't Know What, and then
(26:24):
the film Heretic in twenty twenty four. So they've they've
done some pretty big things besides this one.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Yeah, I'm not a dude guy. I thought the movie
was good. Yeah, I thought it was good. Like I said,
I just.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Thought maybe they would be more elaborate kill scenes, but.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
It was what it was.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Yeah, I mean the kill scene seemed pretty good. They
were pretty grucime. It was in line with like being
a you know, being a haunted house, being a fake
attraction or whatever, where they're not really showing everything. They're
kind of making you guess whether or not it's real
or not until you realize that it's your friend and
you stabbed her with the pitchfork. You know, Yes, that's
(27:09):
totally different thing. But then also I just don't I
just didn't get like there was no there was no
backstory to like why these people did what they were doing,
you know what I mean, that's all. There could have
been a little more, a little more in that, you know,
I mean, I get it. Some slasher films are just
(27:32):
the you know, the killer does things for no reason,
and this just happens to be something like that. You know,
they're just killer clowns for the sake of being killer clowns,
or killer haunted attraction workers for the sake of being
killer haunted attraction workers.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Or they just fucked up people that wanted to kill
people and they use.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
The murderous cultists a haunted house to kill people. What
all right? Man?
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Yeah, I'll say it was a good movie.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
I liked it was that was pretty good. It was
a fun slasher definitely. You know, I don't see a
franchise coming out of it. You know, they killed all that,
They killed all the antagonists during during the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
That wasn't one and done, which is fine.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
But very cool stand alone. If you're afraid of haunted houses,
you have more of a reason to be afraid by
watching this movie.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Dude, I laughed through haunted houses. Yeah, I'm the guy
that that would would probably get the most graphic death if.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
I if this was ever real, right, because I'm such
a dick inside a haunted house so not like in
a bad way. I just like, oh God, here we go.
Like I just rolled my eyes.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
So one year I went to Uh, I went to
Salem for Halloween.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Right and haunted house.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
And so yeah, so I went to Salem and I
was dressed as a hit man. Right, so I had
this fake, like a soft shot pellet pistol on me. Yeah,
and uh, the girl I was dating in her roommate
they both dressed up as Hooters girls. And my girlfriend
was the girl I was dating. She was afraid of
haunted houses and shit. So I was like, here, take
my fake fucking pistol. Right. She takes the pistol and
(29:28):
she sticks it in front of her pants, and we're
going through the haunted house and we get towards the
end and she's just freaking out. Man. Right, She's like
she just wants to get the hell out of there.
She's got her head down, she's just moving through the thing,
not paying attention to anything. Some guy like gets in
the way, puts his hands up. He's like whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa whoa, And she pulls the pistol out and points
it at him. He's like, holy shit, throws his fucking
(29:51):
hands up and just lets us run out of the
Haunted House. And I mean, mind you, it didn't look
anything like a pistol. This thing was like orange and
clear like but just in the dark like that, she
just pulls it out and just ships in his chesty.
She's like it was like, oh.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
My god, that's fucking funny, dude.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Super super funny. Couldn't do that ship nowadays, man. But no, anyways,
glad everybody was here. Thanks for listening.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Okay, because I was gonna say I grew up with
the factory of Tara Dog Like that's ranked as like
the best hanted house in New England.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Yeah, so, I mean, I'm sure we could talk about
that all night, but yeah we're getting up. Wrap it up.
Thanks a lot, having a good night. Thanks for listening.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Salo
Do the intro. This is your baby, man.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Okay, well I'm so used to you fucking doing that.
The killers were fucking demented.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Your paralyzed from the neck down because I didn't have
any duct tape or rope.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
And then he sticks the guy's head and a microwave.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Somebody tried to mess with his daughter and dad killed everybody.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
If I'm putting the same shoes, I'm probably doing the
same thing.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Well, I wasn't gonna watch a Rader one.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
I'm that's saying a lot, considering that he ended up
getting the film band in the fucking New.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Cag fucking diabolical. Back with another horror movie. Monday, we
do a review check one on a horror movie that
we've seen recently and so this one, and we were

Speaker 1 (02:40):
What I mean. Yeah, So we were there at the store.
You found it a little while ago.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Oh yeah, back in like February.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Our friend had an awesome experience there and it was
definitely I got to go there. It was definitely an
awesome place, awesome experience, especially if you love horror movies.
So we asked them, you know, hey, you got a
movie that you would recommend for us to do a
review on, and he pointed us to some figurines they
had on the wall from a movie called Haunt. So
(03:11):
we said, yeah, there's one, and we got a couple
of the suggestions from them from the other guys that
were there, But this is the one we're doing this week.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
I mean we we we would.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Be watching movies till next next April if if we
just listen, watched every single one.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
They were talking about a lot of differ ones, but
he said specifically, watch Haunt, So we did. We checked
that one out, and and you knows, as true as
it always is with I'm finding these movies every week
is I've got, however many different subscriptions to however many
different places I still have to rent the movie from him.
(03:55):
Seems like every week I've.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Already subscribed to the fact that like every.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
We're going to have to rent everyone pretty much, but
it's very rare when we when we don't.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yeah, I mean the one we did last week, I
didn't have to write because we're already on something that
I had.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
But yeah, Paramount plus.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I had Monstrous. Yeah. But so this week, watch a movie,
hant and you want to tell us a little bit
about the movie.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Okay, So the movie, it's a bunch of college kids. Well,
first off, it's a bunch of sorority girls or college girls.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
And they it's Christmas night.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
They go to like a pretty pretty hot spot local bar.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
They run into like two dudes.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
So it's like four girls and two dudes, and they're
leaving the bar and they decide that they want to
go to a haunted house. They find a flyer for
a quote unquote extreme haunted house. Yeah, so they drive
out to the middle of nowhere and they find this
(05:11):
like very weird haunted house in the middle of nowhere.
There's like a group of like four other like young
college aged kids before them too, right.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Yeah, there was another group that went in just before
they did.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Went in.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Just before they did, they got created by a very creepy.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Clown. Yeah, he was a clown.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Right, I mean I think they were all clowns.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Yeah, I mean not figuratively, I mean literally.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Yeah, everybody in there was werring some some type of mask.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Well, anyway, make a long story short, they want to
get into the haunted house. The guy plays some weird
fucking thing where it's like doesn't charge them any money
to get into it, which should have been a big red.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Flag, but he gives them a key.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
They open the key box, and uh, there's waivers and
like in the waiver it says like they have to
put their cell phones in.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
The lock box for.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
The amount of time that they're in the haunted house.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
But so they do.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
They all take their phones out, they put it in
the lock box, they get to keep the key, and
then they get led.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Into the haunted house.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
At first, you're under the impression, you know, it's just
a bunch of college kids going through a haunted house,
not so much of a big deal. But then you
find out that it's actually not like an.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Actual haunted house.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
It's a haunted house full of people that are dressed
up who are actually cold blooded killers, and they're actually
murdering people in this quote unquote haunted house.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Right, So the first scene that they have is the
witch that they've got, like they're like behind a fence.
She's like behind a chain leg fence. She basically stabbed
somebody in the face with a hot poker.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
If you were paying attention, did you catch this in
the beginning? So the first group that went in, yeah,
we had a girl that was.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Dressed like.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
The Blue Witch for the good Witch from Wizard of Oz. Yeah,
that was the girl that had the hot poker stuck
to her face, right, Yeah, But they they thought it
was a trick.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Right because as soon as she does it, there's smoke
blows up in the curtains drop or whatever, and so
you can't see what happens after. You just hear her
screaming and then it's over. So they're all like, was
that real? Was that not? They were all debating on
whether or not it was real or just really good
special effects.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Or I think that they thought there was really good
special effects, but they didn't realize that they just witnessed
a snuff film, like literally, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Yeah, And then they move on to the next one,
which is the guess the body part wall.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Oh yeah, and then that's kind of when when the
movie turns.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Yeah, because that's when the girl, that's when the one
gets cut with a razor blade while she's got an
arm inside of there. Yeah, Bailey sticks her hands in
there and she's feeling right, she can't feel anything, and
then all of a sudden, shutes pull her arm out.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
And she's covering in gashes. Right, she's all cut up,
waiting legit. So that's when you kind of get the idea.
And then I think there was another scene, all right,
so that happens, and then one of their friends who
(09:17):
was dressed like.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
What the fuck? She was dressed like a scarecrow, I
want to say, or was it the cowardly lion?
Speaker 3 (09:31):
One of their friends falls through a trap door because
there's one scene where they're on there, like knees and hands,
crawling through like a tunnel made out of like wooden palettes,
like factory palettes.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Yeah, and there's a there's a trap door.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
So one of their friends falls through that trap door
and she gets the poker right through the right through
the head, and they all so they literally so one one.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Girl gets her arm all cut up the ship and
then the next scene you see.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Is that that which character again with the burning hot
poker and she just rams it right.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Through the girl's hat and kills her. Yeah, So then
you know it's on. It's like people are getting killed, right,
this is crazy, this is.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Fucked up, right, somebody you know just gets murdered.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Yeah, yep, so do you want to go on?
Speaker 1 (10:33):
And then what happens after the she gets killed with
the hot poker and then what they then they find
they find one of the guys in the in the
in there and started help start asking him for help, right.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Yeah, and he kind of plays it cool in the beginning.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
He's like whoa, Like it's all just the facts, like
we until.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Safe place, blah blah blah. Like he tries to feed
him a barrel of bullshit.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Right, and then then the guy Evan, the one who
the bigger guy, he gets outside with that with that.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Just like like like look, man, like we just want
to get the fuck out of here, like we're done,
we don't want to be here anymore.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
They're trying to get they're trying to make their way out.
They get to what's supposed to be an emergency exit
and it's just all bricked up. Yeah, And so Evan
gets outside with the guy with the ghost mask because
he I think he fell through he was the one
who fell in the trap door, right, and then makes
it out and then the guy goes outside and he's
(11:42):
got a hammer. The guy with the ghost mask has
a hammer with him. They go outside and he kills
Evan with the hammer outside. Yes, so even though he
was playing the cool and saying, oh no, I just
work here, whatever, he's still he's still going to kill
people too.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
He's a he's a shady fuck it.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Nathan finds the phones, finds the phone. He finds the
phone because they're with the clown and he's getting ready
to destroy it, and yes, texts their location to Sam,
which is the.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Pretty much the main character.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Sam's Sam's Sam is uh Angela, Angela's boyfriend.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Uh yes, yes, but in the in the.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Harper sorry, that's that's Harper's. So Sam is Harper's boyfriend
who was abusive and.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Because in the beginning of the movie she was covering
up a black guy with with makeup.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Right, So they text the location of Sam and then
he gets to the house. He's on his way to
the house as they keep going through this through this
maze or tunnel or whatever, mm hmm. And so Harper
(13:04):
enters an escape room similar to her childhood bedroom, and
then she started having flashbacks. Harper is the one who
was having all these weird flashbacks about her dad.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
And yeah, her dad was abusive.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Being abusive to her, having her ship childhood. That was
kind of that kind of came out of nowhere. So
she hides under the bed in this room, and that's
when the guy comes back into the room.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Yeah, the freaky guy.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
There's a scene too when he like he takes he's
like over her.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Yeah, he takes his mask off, and.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
I is that makeup or is that like a real
because I know there's got people that do that type
of shit.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Yeah, I mean most of the Yeah. So the thing
the thing with this movie is the people who are
in all these weird masters, ghosts, devils. There's not you know,
the witch. When they take the mask off, they look
like the people they look like the mask their face.
The mask is an imitation of their face essentially.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
So like the guy who's like dressed like the devil,
he takes his mask off and he's literally he's got
like his eyeballs tattooed black.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
You know what. It reminds me of what is remember
Lockshot and Barrel from Nightmare Before Christmas. Yes, like they
have the mask, but they take the masks off and
their face looks exactly like their masks. Yeah, that's pretty
much what these people are. And so they've all got
all these crazy in plants.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I don't want to use the word freaks.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
But you use it. Yeah, they've they've got.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
They live in an alternative lifestyle. I guess, I don't
know any other way how to put it.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Yeah, they've they've got piercings, and they've got implants in
their faces. They've got you know, all different kinds of tattoos.
Like you said, the eyeballs were tattooed black, Like this
had like.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Cane implants in his face that made it look like
he had like horns, and his whole face was like
tattooed Like I said, his eyeballs were tattooed black.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
It was pretty freaky.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Yeah he was.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
He was a lot scarier without the mask, yeah what
I mean.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
So, Yeah, so there's that.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Scene she finds a way, she allegedly finds the key
to get out, but it's all just a setup because
it's like.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
When she turns the key in the room and shoots
off a shotgun, right am I right?
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Yeah? So I mean everything in this house, everything in
this haunted house designed to either kill them or lead
them to be killed. Yes, there is no there's not
supposed to be any way to get out of this house.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
I mean there's there's a scene. Oh there's tons of
booby traps too. So, like Angela, the girl I watched
this last night too, there's a scene where she like
she steps on like a bunch of nails and they
go through her foot. Yeah, and then she's like crawling
on her hands and knees and her hands get stuck
to what like roofing tar or something.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Yeah, something really really sticky.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
That literally ripped the skin off the palms of her hands.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Yeah, that was pretty graphic. Uh.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
One of the other girls, she gets attacked by one
of the killers and he sticks like a hay fork
through her head.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
And then then.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
The friend who's who's Angela's friend, the one that was
her roommate in.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
College, is that Harper?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Harper?
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Yeah, so there's the scene where Angela is fighting and
she rams the key and the devil guy's eye, which
was awesome, and then he like gets on top of
her and he's like strangling her to death, and she
puts her finger in his his his eye that he
just got stabbed in, and like raises his head and
(17:33):
the shotgun blows his head off.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
So and then they the uh, the characters in this
Haunted House.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
They dress up Angela's friend Harper as.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
One of the monsters, and Angela accidentally kills her.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
With the pitchfork.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Yeah, and then you know, it's kind of fuck. You're like,
oh ship, you know, and then uh, Harper at least
tells her like, hey, they're coming for you. So at
this point, there's only like, there's only two people left alive.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
It's it's Angela and.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
It's it's Harper and Nathan. Sorry messing the names up.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Okay, So Harper and Nathan are the only two people
left alive, and Nathan was able to get to Harper's
phone and send a text to Harper's douchebag abusive boyfriend
who has a GPS tracker on her. So he actually
(18:38):
shows up to the the haunted house, right.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
He showed up, but he didn't last very long.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
He didn't last very long, but it was important that
he showed up.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Yeah, because of the ending, you know. So what was
it name? Harper? Yeah, okay, So Harper.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
And Nathan they somehow they uh, they outsmart the rest
of the members of the Haunted House.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
So yeah, Nathan, Nathan kills a guy addressed as a ghosts.
They encounter a man of vampire masks. He removes the
mask and says he removes the mask, showing a normal face,
and he explains that he didn't know the performers were
going to kill people.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
He's like, he's like, they told me it was going
to be extreme, but I didn't know they were going
to kill people.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Yeah, And then after he got after he got a
job there, he found out it was a cult that
makes extreme modification of their face and that once he
had his first kill, he would also get his own
mask essentially.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
And then so like he's trying to legit help them.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
And he goes through like an old like it looks
like a pirate treasure, but it's got all props in it,
and he's like, there's a there's a pistol in here.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
I know there's a pistol in here.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
He tries, he tries to help him escape, and then
he gets he gets shot by the zombie who has
the pistol already. Yes, that's when Nathan and Harp were
able to escape, and they kill the witch. When they
do it, they walk, they climb out that door. They
smash your head in the door and the escape badge.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
So yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
And then so at that point there's only two killers left.
It's the initial clown from the beginning. And there was
a part in the beginning when they walked first walked
into the haunted house and they realized that the the
walls were soaked in oil.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
And then later on we see the guy who is
dressed up as.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
A clown.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
He he, he likes the thing on, so he puts
the whole place ablaze, you know.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
What I mean.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Yeah, So, as as Nathan and Harper are leaving, they
managed to kill the guy dresses as a zombie. Yes,
And they get into Sam's truck and they take off.
And then while when they after they leave, the guy
dresses a clown burns the attraction down.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Yes, And then they get to the hospital Nathan stabilized.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Yeah, Harper and Harper right.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Yeah, Okay. Harper fills out her release form and realizes
that the clowns took down all their personal information, including
their home addresses, so so she realizes that. And then
later on, in a very home alone manner, the clown
(21:55):
gets to her house and is going to kill her.
There's plenty to kill her, and ends up getting stuck
from the same type of trap that he set up
for her with the nails and the glue.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Yes, she booby traps it, and he like he goes,
he puts his foot through nails, he falls forward, his
hands get stuck on the same sticky shit that Harper
was stuck at. And then he looks to the wall
where there's a a gun mount and the gun is missing,
and and Harper pretty much racks the shotgun. And she's like,
(22:32):
because the whole thing was like show me your face.
Did you notice that, like all the people wanted.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
To show their faces.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Yeah, and she blows the guy's brains out and that's.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
The end of the movie.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Yep. Yeah, so this is pretty recent.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Movie, which is pretty cool. I thought the ending was dope.
I always like a little Vigilanti justice at the end.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Yeah, So it's pretty recent movie. It's twenty nineteen. That's
so not super Reason, but six years old.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Yeah, had a in kindergarten.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Huh, they said, it's in kindergarten.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
I I liked it, man, I thought it was cool.
I thought it was unique.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
The killings were a little you know, like they could
have they could have did more.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
With the killings.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
I guess maybe they just thought the concept of the
movie was was better than the kill scenes, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Yeah, it was kind of an interesting thing. They didn't
really they didn't dig a lot into the background of
the cult or anything like that. You didn't figure out
why they were like that, You didn't, you know, it
was just it was just killer clowns who you know,
(23:56):
change their faces. That's I don't know. There wasn't There
wasn't much there as to why they did what they did,
or why they were killers, or where the cult came
from or who they were.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
It was pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
I thought, Like I said, like, remember the one girl
who like literally mentioned she was afraid of flighters like
three or four times. Yeah, I thought for sure, I'm like, Okay,
something fucked with a spider is going to happen to
that girl at some point, right.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
But you know what I'm saying, because she said it
so many times.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
You're thinking it's the setup for something.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
But no, she was the one that just got the
hot poker through the head. Yeah, I don't know. I
thought maybe they.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Were going to tie her down and ram a tarantula
down the throat or something, you know, Like, I mean.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
That's just the vibe I was getting, were you.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
I mean, yes, arackness, Deathicus Spider.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
You know what I mean, something along those lines, something, But.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
It never happened.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
But I mean, like I said, maybe maybe you know, hey,
Elon Roth produced it. For those of you who don't know,
Elon Roth was Eli Roth was the guy who did
all the Hostile movies.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
He's kind of a horror legend in his own right.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
So maybe he just he just and we all know
in Hostile they find elaborate ways.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
To kill people if you've seen the movies. Yeah, but uh,
maybe he just thought the.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Kill scenes weren't really didn't need to be crazy because
the concept of the movie itself was was substantial enough.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Yeah, do you know what I mean? It was directed
It was written and directed by Scott Back and Brian
Woods who.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Yeah, but it was produced by E.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Scott Breck and Brian Woods who they co wrote the
post apocalyptic horror A Quiet Place. They wrote and directed
The sup They wrote and directed the supernatural thriller night
Light in twenty fifteen, Haunt, and the science fiction action
action thriller sixty five I Don't Know What, and then
(26:24):
the film Heretic in twenty twenty four. So they've they've
done some pretty big things besides this one.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Yeah, I'm not a dude guy. I thought the movie
was good. Yeah, I thought it was good. Like I said,
I just.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Thought maybe they would be more elaborate kill scenes, but.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
It was what it was.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Yeah, I mean the kill scene seemed pretty good. They
were pretty grucime. It was in line with like being
a you know, being a haunted house, being a fake
attraction or whatever, where they're not really showing everything. They're
kind of making you guess whether or not it's real
or not until you realize that it's your friend and
you stabbed her with the pitchfork. You know, Yes, that's
(27:09):
totally different thing. But then also I just don't I
just didn't get like there was no there was no
backstory to like why these people did what they were doing,
you know what I mean, that's all. There could have
been a little more, a little more in that, you know,
I mean, I get it. Some slasher films are just
(27:32):
the you know, the killer does things for no reason,
and this just happens to be something like that. You know,
they're just killer clowns for the sake of being killer clowns,
or killer haunted attraction workers for the sake of being
killer haunted attraction workers.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Or they just fucked up people that wanted to kill
people and they use.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
The murderous cultists a haunted house to kill people. What
all right? Man?
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Yeah, I'll say it was a good movie.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
I liked it was that was pretty good. It was
a fun slasher definitely. You know, I don't see a
franchise coming out of it. You know, they killed all that,
They killed all the antagonists during during the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
That wasn't one and done, which is fine.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
But very cool stand alone. If you're afraid of haunted houses,
you have more of a reason to be afraid by
watching this movie.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Dude, I laughed through haunted houses. Yeah, I'm the guy
that that would would probably get the most graphic death if.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
I if this was ever real, right, because I'm such
a dick inside a haunted house so not like in
a bad way. I just like, oh God, here we go.
Like I just rolled my eyes.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
So one year I went to Uh, I went to
Salem for Halloween.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Right and haunted house.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
And so yeah, so I went to Salem and I
was dressed as a hit man. Right, so I had
this fake, like a soft shot pellet pistol on me. Yeah,
and uh, the girl I was dating in her roommate
they both dressed up as Hooters girls. And my girlfriend
was the girl I was dating. She was afraid of
haunted houses and shit. So I was like, here, take
my fake fucking pistol. Right. She takes the pistol and
(29:28):
she sticks it in front of her pants, and we're
going through the haunted house and we get towards the
end and she's just freaking out. Man. Right, She's like
she just wants to get the hell out of there.
She's got her head down, she's just moving through the thing,
not paying attention to anything. Some guy like gets in
the way, puts his hands up. He's like whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa whoa, And she pulls the pistol out and points
it at him. He's like, holy shit, throws his fucking
(29:51):
hands up and just lets us run out of the
Haunted House. And I mean, mind you, it didn't look
anything like a pistol. This thing was like orange and
clear like but just in the dark like that, she
just pulls it out and just ships in his chesty.
She's like it was like, oh.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
My god, that's fucking funny, dude.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Super super funny. Couldn't do that ship nowadays, man. But no, anyways,
glad everybody was here. Thanks for listening.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Okay, because I was gonna say I grew up with
the factory of Tara Dog Like that's ranked as like
the best hanted house in New England.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Yeah, so, I mean, I'm sure we could talk about
that all night, but yeah we're getting up. Wrap it up.
Thanks a lot, having a good night. Thanks for listening.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
