Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
You know, when I was a kid, I was pretty
much allowed to watch whatever horror movie I wanted to.
Parental guidance was most definitely out of the window, and
they didn't really phase me. But every now and again
I come across a film that was pure nightmare fuel,
and this is one of them. And this was a
TV movie of Stephen King's It starring Tim Curry as

(00:22):
penny Wise, and in the nineties. I absolutely love this movie.
I watched it all the time, but Tim Carey's portrayal
of penny Wise was absolutely terrifying to me. Every single
scene in this movie terrified me as a kid, especially
the scene at the beginning of the movie where penny
Wise is lurking in the sewers and he introduces himself
to Georgie before killing him. And then there's a scene

(00:43):
in the shower where Pennywise comes up through the drain,
making you feel like you were safe nowhere as a kid.
And then of course there's a scene where the photograph
actually comes alive and we see penny Wise doing his
cartwheels in the background and making his way forward before
his hand actually shoots out of the photograph. It's terrifying,
but I think the scene which scurred me the most
as a child was a scene where penny Wise is

(01:04):
digging graves. I'm not entirely shure why I found this
scene so scurry, but it haunted me, and it was
always on my mind just before I closed my eyes
and went to sleep. But penny Wise wasn't the only
thing that terrified me as a child. Take Michael Jackson's
Thriller video. Now, I know this wasn't a movie. It's
more of an extended music video or a short film,

(01:26):
but still it had an effect on me and it
absolutely terrified me. But just like Stephen King's it, I
loved this video and I would watch it over and
over again, and somehow, even in the daylight, it didn't
seem as scurry, but it still did skur me. But
when the nighttime came, this music video was playing on
my mind. I mean, right from the beginning of that

(01:47):
music video where Michael Jackson goes through that transformation and
turns into the work at kind of like a weirrewolf,
but it was a cat. Absolutely terrified me and I
would often put the pillow in front of my face
when that scene come on. But it wasn't the workout
which scurred me the most, it was the zombies. Her
skin looked decayed, the way the eyes looked like they
were sunken into the skull really did have an effect

(02:10):
on me. And I think this was my very first
introduction to an actual zombie. I've never seen a zombie
movie before, so this was the very first time I
come across them, and every single one of them gave
me the chills, especially the one that came up through
the manhole cover. I can tell you that that one
appeared in my nightmares more than once. And then there
was another zombie that came into shot and opening his

(02:30):
mouth really wide and he seemed to have like a
big pool of blood in there, which really did stay
with me as a kid. And then there was yet
another zombie who for some reason had a really big
crooked mouth like his jaw had broken. Maybe, and it
was only on for a couple of seconds, but it
was something that never left my mind. And then, of course,
when Michael Jackson's girlfriend is looking at all the zombies

(02:52):
and the camera pans round and then centers on Michael Jackson,
who is now a zombie himself. Yeah, that really did
scur the hell on me as a kid. But it
wasn't only the visuals in Michael Jackson's music video that
absolutely creeped me out as a child. The way that
Vincent Price delivered his monologue was another layer of this
that scurred the death out on me. Is crackling cackuli

(03:14):
voice and the way he did that sinister laugh at
the end of the music video really did scur the
bejeebers out on me. I'm just glad that music video
doesn't quite bother me as much as it did when
I was a kid. I'm not scured anymore, really. Next,
let's talk about Cain, the demonic preacher, cult leader ghost
from Poltergeist too. This guy really did make me feel

(03:36):
uneasy as a kid. The way he looked gaunt in
the face, the full set of teeth, the creepy voice,
and the way he smiled was truly unnerving. Later on
in life, I would actually find out that the actor
who played Kine, Julian Beck, was actually dying whilst they
were making this. He had stomach cancer and he died
during the making of this movie, which lends a whole

(03:58):
other eeriness to the man's performance. He really did put
on a splendid job, and as a kid, he stood
the hell out of me. And even now when I've
been watching clips in preparation for this video, it still
is a very creepy clip. And he does a magnificent
job at playing that character. And I love the line
of worry screams, you're all gonna die in though You're

(04:20):
gonna die in there, all of you, you are gonna die.
It really does put chills down your spine. Now, another
movie that absolutely creeped me out isn't really classed as
a horror movie. This one is Return to Oz. Now,
if you thought Wizard of Oz was creepy and I'm
looking at you, flying monkeys, believe me, it has nothing

(04:43):
on Return to Oz. First of allthough, were the Wheeler
is in this movie the strange humanoid creatures with elongated
arms and legs which had wheels for hands and had
this strange cackling laugh as he chased after Dorothy. That
really did make my heart pound as a child. But
the scene that really to get to me was the
scene where Princess Momby shows Dorothy her collection of decapitated heads.

(05:05):
And if this isn't actually scury enough, we actually see
that the heads are stirring at Dorothy as she walks past,
and then we learned that Princess Momby wants Dorothy's head
for her own, so she locks her in a room
and she's planning to wait till Dorothy gets older so
she can cut off her head. And it's extra terrifying
later on in the movie when Dorothy is trying to
steal the Powder of Life and all of the heads

(05:26):
start screaming as Princess Momby's decapitated body starts chasing her
through the castle. It was horrifying as a child. It's
horrifying as an adult, and I can't believe that movie
was made for children. Next, we have the movie The
exorcistem believing or not. It's not the possessed Reagan that
actually terrified me as a kid, even though it was
very scurry. It was the blinking you'll miss it demonic

(05:49):
face that pops up at various points in the movie,
and as you're doubting whether you actually saw it or not,
it was the eyes man. The eyes stayed with me
long after the image had actually vanished off the screen.
Oh those eyes. But it wasn't only the visuals of
The Exorcist, which absolutely terrified me as a child. It
was also the music and one particular piece, tubular bells.

(06:12):
I hate it. That score made me so uneasy, and
it's not necessarily that it reminds me of the movie.
The piece of music as a whole atmosphere to itself,
the way that the melodies kind of layer on top
of each other, and it stays with you after the
song is finished. Actually, I don't think I've ever heard
the song finished, because I always turn it off within

(06:32):
seconds of its starting. Anyway, that's my examples of what
scurred me as a kid, what scured confidently. Lastly, contending

(07:17):
confident
