[Applause] [Music] welcome to the worst of the best podcast I am your host Ryan and with me today we
2:17
have a very special guest host this gentleman has his own podcast which I want him to describe and talk about it
2:24
on his own but welcome to the show nice stug oh thank you for having me first of
2:30
all I mean I say thank you for having me I basically begged to come on your show and you were nice enough to say you know
2:36
what how about tomorrow okay great fine I will do all the research I need to in
2:42
that amount of time research boy you're you're better prepared than half my host I appreciate that well I mean we're
2:48
talking about 10 films kind of we're talking about the films so I I wanted to
2:54
come in with some sort of prep or some sort of knowledge Beyond just what I've seen before no that's fair and I
3:00
appreciate that so tell us about the podcast that you run and what it's about and I want to know actually how you got
3:05
started and why you got started no that's that's great my podcast name is Good Times great movies I host it with
3:12
friend of mine Jamie and we've been doing the podcast we're actually in our sixth year of the show we started back
3:18
in 2015 it's been so long I don't even know how it got started like I knew I wanted to do a podcast actually a friend
3:25
of mine started a podcast and I kind of listened and went well if he can do this I mean could probably figure it out but
3:31
I didn't know what I wanted it to be about I knew I who I wanted to do this with so I threw this out to my friend
3:37
and I said hey how about I come up with three to four topics you come up with three to four so we landed on an 80s
3:45
movie podcast it was her choice because honestly UPF front I am not a fan of
3:51
the80s in general the fashion the music
3:57
the art it's so aggressive in such a way that I am I'm really
4:02
turned off to it sure interesting okay yeah I think the podcast has got me to appreciate it a lot more you and I are
4:09
basically the same age just from listening to your show I'm wait hold
4:14
43 okay yeah so we're roughly the same age so I always think of myself more as a
4:20
I'm an 80s child but I think of myself more as a9s human being like the first
4:26
half of the 90s I was in high school second half I was in college so those are really my formative years so I love
4:32
music from the '90s I love movies from the '90s in the ' 80s always felt like sure okay that's kids stuff whatever the
4:38
podcast has gotten me to appreciate those films a little more what we do is we do not take it seriously we basically
4:45
just take the piss out of these movies well I listened to your uh Rocky for episode I went back to your some of your
4:51
back very early episode number four yeah that's right and I remember thinking
4:56
who's going to who's going to rag on Rocky 4 well you guys did and that's okay and we'll rag on things
5:03
like I absolutely adore RoboCop is one of my favorite movies ever made oh yeah but it's easy to make fun of it's easy
5:09
to joke every point that you brought up making fun of Rocky 4 yeah I get it yeah
5:16
you know what I mean it's like of course of course you can't love something as much as I do regarding the rocky series
5:21
and not obviously see why people whatever angle they're coming from I always say your opinion is always right
5:27
yeah but also the other thing that I say all the time is there's a good chance I'm wrong about a lot of things I say
5:33
well you were but I didn't want to say that right exactly I have watched movies before that I absolutely hate everyone
5:40
adors and I'm like I think it's me I can identify that you know you're saying you're always right I'm assuming I'm
5:46
wrong going to anything oh sure no that's good I appreciate that background so check out their podcast I'm I'm going
5:51
to go through it and specifically listen to the episodes because you have a big catalog of movies that I'm very familiar with so I start with Rocky 4 and I go
5:58
out for that yeah I would suggest for you personally just because I've been really rifling through your back catalog
6:04
just in preparation to come on listen to our Temple of Doom episode it's my
6:11
favorite it's my favorite one it's my favorite one I know I know I listened to you say that and I was kind of nervous
6:17
telling you to check that one out that is not my favorite well I I can already see my mind with the things you're going
6:23
to say of course but but no that's great I look forward to hearing the uh the that take but oh I have a real soft I
6:29
love that movie but before we get into our actual topic today and I hope we're not boring our listeners but they are may just skip ahead a few minutes the
6:35
reason why I called you nice Doug there's a little story there we both listen to a podcast we're Mutual listeners of another podcast that's
6:42
called who are these podcasts and I actually had Carl the host the main host of that podcast come on and he did the
6:49
Star Wars Episode so if you listening to this episode and you missed that episode of Carl and I doing Star Wars I
6:55
recommend listening to that if you've come on this one because nice Doug is here the whole reason I'm here Carl
7:00
talked about you on his show I heard that and I went you know what if Carl's willing to go on this show it must be
7:06
somewhat entertaining well that's very kind it was very kind and gracious to Carl to come on now the the deal with
7:12
his show and I've said this before but the deal with his show is they take other podcasts and they usually take you know listener suggestions or what have
7:18
you or people submit Hey listen to my podcast and they tear it apart just like
7:23
you do with those ' 80s movies they take the piss they take the piss out of people's podcasts it's a roasting session being the myself I I listen to
7:31
this to this podcast and I'm like oh boy I think I've done that oh boy that sounds oh boy I got to work on my edits or whatever it might be if you're a
7:38
podcaster and not listening to this podcast I highly recommend it because you might learn something but you
7:44
submitted your show to this podcast be roasted by Carl now how did you come
7:49
across the show enough that you wanted to submit your podcast to it I came across his show there's a Facebook group
7:56
I don't even know if it exists anymore because I've been thrown off cuz I said nice things about his show but these people were laying into his show yes and
8:03
they were so angry about it and I basically was like I got to check this out and it took me a few episodes
8:10
because if anybody goes there to listen I think it's important to understand it can seem very mean like can seem
8:19
unnecessarily mean so it took me a few episodes until I understood what was going on and I really enjoyed it it was
8:26
right before he kind of blew up his shows massive now and now you
8:32
volunteered your show if I remember correctly now I before we get to you I started listening to it at the very
8:37
beginning not when it first came out but I was in a podcast group on Facebook somebody mentioned the show because I
8:43
had a question about music rights or whatever cuz I play a lot of music on my podcast they're like oh somebody else takes podcasts from other episodes or
8:49
and music from others they play music all the time and I'm like what do they called they're called who are these podcasts so I thought I'd check them out
8:55
saw the synopsis like well I'll start with episode one if they can hook me in with episode one listen to it I've listened to every episode from there I
9:01
binged like crazy and then you came on remind me though cuz that was like 100
9:06
plus episodes ago were you the one where they were convinced you were in love with the host you're a co-host is that oh yeah that's you okay yeah I guess
9:13
that was when he talked about our show and then when there was the Doug versus Doug episode when I want that was
9:19
brought up again yes so for the record are you in love with your Coos no I mean
9:25
yes and she's my best friend in the world a planet Earth hands down my best
9:30
friend so yes in that regard of course okay it was early enough into his show
9:36
where he was still entertaining people's requests right and the one thing he says
9:41
is give him a festar review on Amazon but then [ __ ] all over him in the comments and I did that and at the end
9:47
of my review and I think I wrote a review that was pretty funny I said hey tear apart my podcast he read the review
9:55
played a little teaser of my show and I was over the moon excited I understand that a lot of people wouldn't want that
10:03
at all because a lot of people do this and hope to make money from it or it's
10:08
not just a hobby for them for me it's 100% a hobby I'm not a to get advertisers I don't care people play
10:16
video games for fun I don't do that my podcast is a hobby like I loved listening to him make fun of my stupid
10:23
show like it was I was so happy and then I went in immediately after that I sent
10:28
him a cop of the movie that he had reviewed or that we had talked about and then I just sort of put feelers out and
10:35
said hey if you're ever hard up for a co-host reach out to me and I was shock you've been about five times four times
10:40
four or five times seven times count the other day s nice good job yeah so this is a real pleasure to have a fellow who
10:48
are these podcasts guest hosts and you're kind of a Hall of Famer at the beginning of of that journey and yeah
10:53
it's an incredible show it really is I'm not just blowing smoke up Carl's but it's like nothing else out there I I
10:59
listen to so many other movie podcasts and they all kind of blend together sometimes but he's doing something that
11:06
if anybody else is doing it they're not on my radar they they clearly aren't doing it as well as he does but for the
11:11
record cuz my podcast is very safe for work well safe for work but so if you're a fan of my show the four of you know
11:18
check out his podcast but it's just not safe work that's all I'm saying so just be mindful of any audience I might oh no
11:24
no I have to ramp up my exploit of game when I'm going on to his show I'm not saying that on his show I'm playing a
11:29
character but I have to prepare mentally to go on that show all right so there you go well this is great having you on
11:36
I think we've establish why we why you're here and oh yeah so you heard about my show through his show and you
11:42
came to me and I was really flattered and so I hope you have a good time while we break down today's topic you I always
11:48
give the guest hosts kind of first dibs of the topic they might want to cover like what's your background you love
11:54
movies and you love horror movies we're kind of what we're doing is we're picking 10
11:59
horror movies that are kind of Spawn from quote unquote real life events and
12:04
they'll often put in the the movies somewhere based on true events or inspired by real events and they do this
12:11
in these horror films to up the freak factor in the film sure we're going to
12:16
explain what that real event was what the film was and maybe how much of it was lifted versus how much of it might
12:22
have just been yeah definitely and I I'm glad you said quote unquote real events and listeners please understand that
12:28
those are the large just quotes possible when I read these I was like none of these make sense none of these are
12:34
interesting and none of them have anything to do with the movies like it's a crazy list and some of them are too
12:41
bad some are maybe the ones you have maybe the ones you have because we divided it in half found a few of mine weren't too bad weren't too bad you know
12:47
what I did I did this purposely okay I did not read yours perfect I didn't read
12:54
yours okay great we're like veteran podcasters I kind of want to hear your take fresh so to speak I was going to
13:00
say I was just being lazy I didn't know oh it's that too of course well that's why we divide the workload so you don't have to do my work I don't have to do
13:06
your work great and as per normal guest host you'll probably do a better job with your research than I do all right
13:12
okay so here we go I'm going to start with number 10 for horror films I love horror films too and my wife right now
13:17
well right now my wife right now my wife does not like horror films so I often if I have to watch anything that's scary
13:24
any kind of anything that's scary whatsoever has a scary element whether it's a thriller scary I have to watch by
13:29
myself oh same same here my wife cannot stomach that stuff I also watch a lot of
13:36
foreign films a lot of old films none of that she will not no I'm sorry if there's subtitles she's out if it's if
13:42
it's a scary movie She's out if it's black and white uh maybe she'll stick around for a bit but that's still a red
13:48
flag okay well good so we have a similar background we both enjoy horror films now out out of these 10 there was only a
13:55
few that I haven't legit seen but that won't affect we're not reviewing film per se we'll make share our feelings on
14:01
some of the films cuz we've seen them but this isn't a review of the films this is just the story that spurned the
14:06
films and we'll give a general background of the films the first one is of course the classic A Nightmare on Elm
14:12
Street now I assume you have seen the series or at least this film oh yeah okay I've seen the entire series for
14:18
better or worse well for better for worse well you know here's the thing about night and El Street the first one
14:24
at least the first couple were legit creepy and fun but they had a really good creepy Factor especially the Freddy
14:29
cougar character what a great great creepy guy you know those claws that
14:35
burns skin frd anyone that doesn't know basically what Freddy does is he haunts
14:41
people in their dreams around the neighborhood of Elm Street it's of course his Youth and if you fall asleep
14:46
and he gets into your dreams whatever he does to you in the dream you will feel the effects in quote unquote the waking
14:51
world if you take he and Jason Vorhees and uh whatever Leatherface I don't know
14:57
take all the icons and put them in a bag he's my favorite hands down because he
15:03
has a personality I mean he gets really goofy by three he's quipping and
15:09
everything but he's not afraid to talk he's not afraid to mess with these kids
15:14
he's not afraid to taunt the people he's about to kill he's probably my favorite of these prototypical slasher icons nice
15:22
okay I don't think uh Halloween is it on the list is it one of yours uh no okay so I don't think it's on it's not on the
15:28
list yeah okay so Halloween was not a true story all these other ones are true
15:34
stories okay everything on here true story okay so uh I'm just saying Michael
15:39
Myers is the Halloween is my favorite film of horror film and Michael Myers is my favorite horror guy but I would say
15:45
Freddy is a lot of fun absolutely okay so in a October 2014 interview Wes Craven he's the creator of the film and
15:53
director this is from the interview he says that I read an article in the LA Times about a family who had escaped The
15:59
Killing Fields in Cambodia and managed to get to the US they were fine and suddenly the young son was having very
16:05
disturbing nightmares he told his parents he was afraid that if he slept the thing chasing him would get him so
16:12
he tried to stay awake for days at a time when he finally fell asleep his parents thought this crisis was over
16:18
then they heard screams in the middle of the night by the time they got to him he was dead he died in the middle of a
16:24
nightmare here was a Youngster having a vision of horror that everyone older was denying that became the central line of
16:30
a Nightmare on Elm Street that's crazy it is crazy that's legit and I found the
16:36
article this is actually from the Journal of the individual this is a little bit little bit intense this is
16:41
the uh it says here first I was surprised but right away I got real scared I was lying in bed a dark shadow
16:47
in the night I was so tired because I was working very hard then I wanted to go to school but I had no money I kept
16:52
waking up because I was thinking so much about my problems I heard a noise but then I turned and I could not move my
16:59
bedroom looked the same but I could see in the corner a dark shape was coming to me it came to the bed over my feet my
17:04
legs it was very heavy like a heavy weight over the whole of my body my legs my chest my chest was frozen like I was
17:10
drowning I had no air I tried to yell so someone sleeping very close to me will hear I tried to move I thought what if I
17:17
die after a long time it went away it just left I got up and turned the lights on but I was afraid to sleep again wow
17:24
so that sounds like that sleep paralysis though exactly so he was he was actually describing what it's been medically
17:29
proven people who' have had this condition there's millions that do throughout the world it's a common yeah
17:34
you people wake up their body can't move apparently what happens is the chemical
17:40
that there's a chemical that go I don't know what it is cuz I'm not a doctor or sleep but there's a chemical that shuts your body down so when you're sleeping
17:47
you don't punch your neighbor so it's a safety mechanism so you don't fall out of trees we used to sleep in trees as humans if you knew
17:53
that or the edge of cliffs so when you sleep you don't really move around too much so your body actually chemically
17:58
shuts down there's whatever that does but what happens is is people will wake up but for whatever reason their
18:04
chemical thing or whatever that is that freezes the body is still going so they
18:10
wake up and they're like oh my goodness why am I not moving this is freaky and they'll still be having dreams and
18:15
Visions like they they are in a dream but they're really in the in between they're both physically in between the
18:21
dreaming and waking State yeah I remember first hearing about that and then you know after I heard that that's
18:26
that's a thing like that sleep paralysis it's always been so strangely enough
18:31
terrifying like I'm always afraid it's going to happen to me I've never had it happen there's no evidence that it will
18:37
ever happen to me but but the people even when they understand what it does or what what it's from is still very
18:42
disconcerting and frightful yeah even though they logically know what's going on o so I get it that that's a very
18:50
specific thing to be tied into Freddy Krueger the story about the actual death
18:55
yeah I guess I could take it that far but I love the fact that some of these ideas are so simple and especially Wes
19:02
Craven like he can craft an entire narrative and an entire just crazy story
19:08
around this kind of minor I mean I don't want to say minor incident but just this
19:13
one idea it has nothing to do with a crazy what janitor who murdered children
19:18
and comes back like if that was the story that he heard okay I get it it takes such a creative mind to just take
19:25
that and turn that into such an iconic film absolutely great points yeah it's a great franchise it's a lot of fun at the
19:31
end of the day it's a fun franchise yeah yeah definitely okay number nine is the film
19:37
uh from 2008 the strangers I don't know if you're familiar with it you know it's one of those ones where again where I
19:43
love these films so much like horror films and thriller films and stuff I remember hearing about it when it came out but then it's just this happens all
19:49
the time there would be a movie that comes out you're like I'm kind of I'm kind of interested in seeing that and then a year goes by then five years goes
19:54
by now this was like almost 12 years ago at this point I think they've already made sequel possibly to at this point
20:00
I'm not sure okay the film is basically about a group of people couple and a
20:06
friend of theirs who are in a house and suddenly weirdos show up and basically
20:11
knock on the door and these people don't say anything and they go in and uh
20:16
basically murder these people in very brutal and disgusting and sad fashion
20:22
before I did any research on this my thought was like okay does it take a
20:27
genius to come up with this idea like this seems like something that anybody would think of anyone who's in a is in a
20:34
house that's secluded I know if I go on vacation and there's nobody near me like I'm terrified in the woods alone if it's
20:41
just my wife and I or something like that but apparently the writer of this movie when he was a child his parents
20:48
had left and left he and his sister alone and apparently some strangers showed up knocked on the door asked for
20:55
someone that did not live there and they said no sorry you have the wrong home and they said okay fine and walked away
21:02
and apparently then he and his sister went outside and watched these people as they went around the neighborhood and knocked
21:09
on every door until they found homes where no one answered and then they would break into those homes and Rob
21:16
them which sounds like first of all a bad idea you've been seen by so many
21:21
people at that point like the cops are going to be able to you know make a pretty good identification I'm assuming
21:27
this is a true story that this person's saying but again it seems like the
21:32
flimsiest of thread between reality and this film right cuz the the actual
21:39
people that he saw as a child didn't kill anybody no they want they want they
21:45
wanted the opposite they wanted to find somebody not home and just Rob them but where in this movie we come at your home
21:52
and right and we tie you up and we kill did you see the movie I did yeah it's
21:57
disturbing it's how many how many family members are in the are in the family uh it's just a husband and wife and a
22:03
friend of theirs just three people the friend's dead let me guess the wife makes it at the end do you want me to
22:09
spoil it okay if anybody they all die they all die yeah it's it's not a great
22:15
end or wait maybe she oh [ __ ] now I don't remember if she gets away or not there you go sort of a spoiler not a
22:21
spoiler who know who knows maybe I shouldn't watch a movie in 2008 and try and talk about it
22:27
now yeah that's yeah 2008 boys almost 13 years ago this game wow yeah and I think
22:32
they did they had at least one sequel to this okay but it's still one I wouldn't
22:37
mind seeing I enjoy watching people get killed sure it's great but yeah I like those kind of
22:43
psychological like it's kind of it's not like we talk about the Freddy Krueger this is completely opposite this is the
22:50
scary of the this is real life scary this is something that in theory people yeah can break into your home and kill
22:56
every and I don't know and you and I about this or or I mentioned it very early on before we even started
23:01
recording I don't know how we're judging these but yeah yeah we should say if you're first time L of the show so what
23:07
we do is we take a list oh yeah goodidea this is I would argue this is probably the best of list of horror films based
23:13
on real life Concepts okay so that's what this list is that's the best okay that's the part that's the best the
23:19
worst is we're going to pick what we think is the worst from this list now the criteria it's kind of tricky I'm
23:25
here's spoil aler number 10 that's a pretty legit correlation between a real life event
23:31
and the translation on the screen though it's a Fantastical character Freddy the idea that somebody was scared when they
23:37
slept and they died because they were afraid of that very thing of sleeping that fear killed them in their sleep that's almost a direct translation from
23:44
a real and I think it's a creative translation so I think I'm going to give it points for that as well so I think
23:50
it's whatever we might think is the least creative way of doing it so so at the end of it that's how we I think
23:55
that's how we're going to do so during our discussion try know try not to say too much it was a terrible transition
24:01
okay but because we want to reveal at the end independent of each other we're going to pick our own what we think is the worst sure that is uh that's mine
24:07
that's number right well I still want to see the movie despite the fact the origin story is a little bit weak I will I know I will say that but you should
24:14
see it especially because I tried to spoil it and I can't so you're going to be very surprised
24:20
yeah you'll watch it be like nobody died what is he talking about talking about yeah the the The Intruders they all got
24:26
killed it was it was a beautiful happy ending uh number eight is the Texas Chainsaw Massacre now this is a film that I've
24:33
heard about for years I mean and I'm a horror I'm not a horror like fanatic
24:39
like I have to see everything I kind of came late to the horror game I used to have a lot of nightmares speaking of nightmares I used to have a lot of
24:44
nightmares as a kid scary things scared me when I was a child so there's a couple movies on this list that I I
24:49
avoided until I became a quote unquote Brave I say saying quote unquote why am I doing that I'm going to edit that out
24:54
cuz if Carl's listening he's going to you know he'll say why does he say quote unquote so much it makes you actually sound Brave if you
25:00
don't say quote unquote yeah that's true yeah oh boy I'm stuck okay and when I
25:05
yeah when I became an adult and I recognized you know films aren't real life all that kind of thing and just
25:10
because I saw it on TV doesn't mean it's going to happen in my house just because I you know I saw the Texas Chancellor
25:16
Massacre he's not going to come knocking on my door but this was a film that even I knew as a teenager and a young adult I knew this had its own kind of cult
25:23
status and it was like I i' seen a couple like movie Stills and magazines and stuff man that looks really creepy a
25:28
guy called Leatherface he's got a chainsaw I don't know if I really want to watch you know people get destroyed
25:33
by a chainsaw sure so I just saw the movie for the first time like four years ago oh wow all right very cool not even
25:40
yeah maybe like three years ago it was like 2018 yeah I freaking love this movie and the series is Bonkers yeah
25:47
it's just absolutely ridiculously Bonkers but the original one as good as they say it's such a wellone creepy
25:54
amazing film and very little blood yeah very little blood but it has that it has
26:01
that realistic quality to it I mean it it watch old VF films fil it feels like
26:06
you're watching a horrific documentary there's so much moving camera it's
26:11
gritty and it's grimy it doesn't feel polished and the actors don't feel like
26:16
actors at all all of this could be happening to these people yes and that last dinner scene the dinner scene at
26:23
the end there with the F so for those who don't know what this film is about it it depicts a family of canni
26:28
who abduct of course and torture a group of young Travelers and when this movie was released in the theaters it had this
26:35
kind of cult status of being based on a true story now the inspiration though is
26:40
from a mass murder at the time before the film about 20 years before the film came out named ed G have you ever heard
26:47
of him oh I have yes so Ed gin he killed two people for sure he was convicted for
26:52
two they think he killed nine people mhm and what else he did was is that he dug
26:58
up Graves and he made stuff out of the skin when he was arrested he this is
27:04
what was found I'm just going to give a little bit of an idea what was found in his home uh plug your ears if you're going to if you don't want to hear this
27:10
uh give it a give it a 30 or a minute skip okay of course whole human bones
27:15
and fragments a waist basket made of human skin human skin covering several chairs skulls on the bed post female
27:24
skulls with some of the top sonoff bowls made with human skulls a corset made
27:29
from a female torso skinned from shoulders to waist leggings made from the human leg and so forth and so forth
27:35
he even used a pair of lips on a window shade for drawstring not great not not
27:40
the not the kind of guy you want to hang out with I would say spoil alert no no
27:45
shite Sherlock he had mother issues and
27:51
surprise surprise he took like the skin and clothing of dead woman and dressed
27:56
up as as his mother so the movie Psycho also Drew from that Mother's Son issue
28:02
as well and Silence of lambs Buffalo Bill took cues from that so that is the
28:07
real life movies almost almost more so science of lambs and Texas Chainsaw Massacre but where this movie took the
28:13
ideas from was the wearing of the flesh because the guy named Leatherface he was called Leatherface because he wore the
28:20
face of his victims he would change his face and he madees skin garments and stuff out of the victims yeah it's it's
28:26
pretty super gross and uh I mean in real life and in the film of course you're right that I think
28:33
Buffalo Bill is probably the most direct connection like you can really see that there and they they play that up in that
28:39
film yeah cuz must be a woman and do that yeah and I think the other thing that this film does draw from is he
28:47
lived in a very isolated area like there was nobody around him it was such a small town I forget if he was in you
28:53
know one of the dtas or something like that there was nobody around him and in Texas Chainsaw Mass like there's nothing
29:00
else around that's why those kids go there in the first place so in 74 long before there was the internet or what
29:06
have you when you scrolled across that screen based on a true story it freaked people right out oh yeah yeah so I think
29:12
the one thing that we're going to make very clear is please do not pay attention when you see based on the true
29:18
story in any film whatsoever dare how dare you I can still remember Fargo like
29:24
watching Fargo and it's like based on real events and you know like 18 years
29:29
old I'm like this is wild this is crazy what is I'm doing you know whatever research an 18-year-old can do at that
29:35
time I'm not finding anything this this must not be true you watch the Fargo TV
29:41
series I watched the first two seasons kind of lost steam after that I enjoyed
29:46
them both a ton oh watch the third one that was with you and McGregor yes yeah I I started to watch that but there's so
29:52
much stuff on TV I don't know I know it's so much but I would Fargo is is this TV series ladies and gentlemen that
29:58
you have to watch it's so quirky it's so well written so incredibly filmed and everything yeah that second one was so I
30:04
really really enjoyed the second that number seven number seven we get into
30:09
our first horror comedy yeah and it is Return of the Living Dead have you seen
30:15
Return of the Living Dead here's the thing I love horror films and I actually watch The Walking Dead I'm still watching it but I don't watch it because
30:22
of the zombies I watched because of the humans the zombies are uninteresting to me they're an uninteresting enemy of
30:27
humans they don't they they don't scare me they're just gross you know cuz they rip apart bodies and eat you so the
30:33
scenes where they rip apart bodies like okay that's cool effects like I'm really that's the thing about horror films I'm always really impressed when they do it
30:39
well the effects horror film is probably the best film to work on oh it's
30:45
probably a blast to work on the guts and the gore and the blood like it's probably a lot of fun into the acting the screaming being chased and it's
30:52
probably a lot of fun to work on but that being said yeah zombies don't interest me they're just not first of all that's valid and and I will say this
31:00
if you do want to watch any of these from the series or if listeners are interested I would say watch Dawn of the
31:06
Dead which is great it's the one that takes place in a mall it gets to the point where bikers are running in
31:12
driving their motorcycles through the mall hitting zombies in the face with pies like it gets to that level in the
31:18
film I would then say watch Return of the Living Dead I mean neither Living Dead is a classic film but I don't
31:25
necessarily know that it holds up up I think it was established oh yeah so I watched the
31:32
trailer just and I had no idea it was like it was very Innovative for 1985 what it did was it like the it was a
31:38
film within a film they it looks like they were talking about the movie was it the first one that the Night of the
31:43
Living Dead yes and they're saying oh what how how did they kill zombies in that movie so they were talking about
31:49
that movie they would use that movie as a reference on how to take care of the zombies in this movie so it was kind of like the early um yeah like a art and
31:56
life or type mix the two we're going talk about later with the movie scre where they did that too yeah and it's pretty crazy because
32:04
in this article that we're going off of here that's kind of what they say now
32:09
they give two reasons why this is based on true events and only one is a reason
32:15
that makes any sense so first of all I think it's important to say this is the first of the series that George Romero
32:21
did not direct at this point he had already done Dawn of the Dead Night of the Living Dead not in that order and
32:28
Day of the Dead and then Return of the Living Dead was directed by a guy named
32:33
Dan oanon the one story they say is that it's it sounds like a fun story it's
32:38
probably just an urban legend but it's fun says that a chemical truck spilled in a graveyard and as they were hauling
32:45
away contaminated soil they uncovered a grave where a body was
32:50
moving o scary and the other the other thing they
32:55
say then is the real reason is that they reference the first movie a lot and I'm
33:02
like well that's not a that's not based on real events it's based on another movie which doesn't make a whole lot of
33:08
sense but I enjoy the first sort of story about moving bodies from uh contaminated you know who knows what
33:14
sort of weird toxic waste sure I never knew that interesting h a chemical truck spilled into a graveyard how convenient
33:22
and it's 100% what the movie is but the movie is straight up a comedy it it's really enjoyable so people should watch
33:28
the trailer after watching the trailer I will say it's I want to watch it now
33:33
because it looks Bonkers oh when there's a scene and it might have been in the trailer where paramedics show up and the
33:40
zombies rip them to pieces and the one zombie then gets in the truck and radio back and just says said more paramedics
33:46
it's great it's funny fantastic movie awesome all right number six is a movie
33:51
I still haven't seen because even though I love horror films and I love scary
33:57
films and what have you for some reason ghost films I find a little scary still
34:04
like I cuz I kind of Believe on them I kind of think they're because there one thing I don't believe in zombies aren't
34:10
real neither's a werewolf or a vampire or but I get a little bit uncomfortable
34:15
with well I think I think that's that's the thing about horror films if you do have any belief in a certain thing like
34:21
if people are really religious like I think that the Exorcist I think that really messes with them in a way that
34:27
it's not not going to affect some other people so if there is something that you're on the fence about like maybe
34:32
this is real maybe it isn't I think that those things can really affect you now Poltergeist is an interesting one
34:37
because it came out in uh ' 82 82 it was a Steven Spielberg production so this
34:43
was having his name on it kind of gave it a I would say A familyfriendly vibe but it was certainly a darker movie for
34:50
him to put his name to but he's always done dark movies and I talk about if you want to check out my Steven Spielberg episode on this feed if you're a St
34:56
Steven Spielberg I'm not a big fan of his really even though I recognize his ability as a director I'm not a big fan
35:03
of his cuz he does delve a lot into like dark and merky and he's it's always got like a dark element to his films like a
35:09
like almost like a dark filter to his films as well but he didn't direct this he produced it but he had A Creative Touch on it though some people will
35:15
argue that he directed it CU Toby Hooper directed it and I think a lot of people don't want to give him credit for it or
35:22
it has very spielbergian it does it's very Spiel so it kind of like it feels
35:28
more like a collaboration you're probably right it's it's all over the billboard it's a Steven Spielberg
35:33
production they really sold his name on it where I bet you people went to it thinking he directed it people who don't
35:39
know Toby Hooper is the guy that created and directed Texas chancell massacre so I don't want to give him any short
35:45
shrift from this because a lot of things really do feel like Toby Hooper as well and I I hate it when people trying to
35:50
give Spielberg credit for this film but having his name all over it well people flock to go see it so I get it I think
35:57
this is movie I feel like if I haven't seen it I've seen so many scenes from it you know the scene in the mirror where
36:03
he's got maggots in his face that will always I've seen that scene on YouTube I think I watched it yeah so creepy and
36:09
then the scene where the the girls touching the TV they show them in the trailers and I was a kid so I was 7 eight years old when this trailer was
36:15
playing on you know nighttime TV and it scared the crap out of me as a kid this little girl touching the screen was
36:21
static back when we had static on TVs they're here it's like when they play the national anthem before static you
36:28
know at 3:00 a.m. or whatever yeah for younger listeners I I think this is
36:34
important to know is this is a time two to three years before the PG-13 rating
36:39
came into play so this was rated PG and so if if you thought you were going in
36:45
to a pg-rated Steven Spielberg movie I couldn't imagine how messed up some of those kids must have been I'm sure
36:51
parents kids I guarantee you yeah cuz uh yeah this was ET times oh look it's a
36:56
Steven Spielberg um it's based on a basically long story short it's a haunted house and so you'd
37:02
say well well guys there's tons of accounts of haunted houses absolutely but there was a particular home or a
37:08
particular family in 1958 in Seaford New York the Herman Family made national news after reporting strange occurrences
37:15
in their home they had stuff like objects being moved bottles suddenly popping their tops and uh spilling their
37:20
contents now this Poltergeist was given the nickname popper the Poltergeist in this home and they're only there for
37:27
about four to six months how The Haunting started was just like that apparently every liquid bottle and they
37:33
had I don't know why but they had so many from liquid detergent to bleach to whatever it was the lids would pop pop
37:38
pop off and the father thought it was the son doing stuff with the some sort of chemical reaction so he would follow
37:43
his son around for days over the weekend to see okay I'm going to watch him like a hawk and while he was watching them he
37:49
never did anything and these things would still go off I've done a lot of culture guys who are haunting investigations on my own just as a hobby
37:55
you know read stories accounts pod cast and sometimes pure guys for whatever reason when they're not scaring a family
38:02
enough they'll kind of increase their activity and so this pop of the polter guys he then increased his activity he started throwing stuff around the house
38:09
objects religious artifacts like the Mary statue like little ornaments and stuff Smash in them bookshelves being
38:15
thrown around and other Witnesses police officers and people came as Witnesses too and apparently a news crew came
38:21
there I couldn't find it on YouTube cuz this happened on National Television but a news crew was there and stuff was
38:26
moving around on TV it was the first haunted reality TV show they say oh that's pretty cool wow yeah in this
38:33
movie there's a scene and you're saying you're not sure if you've seen it or not there's a scene where the mother
38:39
realizes that there's some force in here that can move the chairs across the
38:44
kitchen floor and she's having a ball with this and it's one of those things where watching you're like you need to
38:50
get out of this house right now like what are you doing why are you playing with these weird entities like that
38:56
seems so wrong and misguided and there was another scene I believe where the there's a tree that
39:01
comes crashing through the house yep it grabs the kid yeah that I think I had a friend tell me about that when was a kid
39:07
and that idea just terrified me as a child super scary there's a terrifying clown it's a great movie but please
39:14
listeners it's rated PG don't show it to your kids don't do that no I think I I
39:19
think I need to do this I think I need to watch it you should give it a shot I think so okay so the that's the base on
39:24
the real v a family haunted that was about it they didn't name I don't think they named the Poltergeist in the movie
39:30
but uh poer the Poltergeist is what this movie was based on and the family terrorized by that yeah very cool number
39:36
five is the film When a Stranger Calls I don't know if you're familiar with it
39:41
another one I haven't seen yet okay uh I'm familiar with it at all I don't think yeah all right the original was in
39:47
1979 and they remade it in 2006 so it's sort of based on two things just like
39:53
the last one I said but these aren't quite as goofy I think we probably all heard the urban legend where a
39:59
babysitter's watching kids and she keeps getting weird phone calls and stuff like that check on the kids check on the kids
40:05
right and after a while of this she calls out to the police and says hey I'm getting these weird phone calls and
40:11
everything and the police say we're going to trace the number just sit tight and of course when the police call back
40:18
they say you need to get out of the house the calls are coming from inside the house so that's that's a famous
40:23
urban legend famous story and I guarantee you that's where this came came from but there was an
40:30
incident back in 1950 the Columbia Police Department received a call from a
40:35
13-year-old girl and she was babysitting a three-year-old child basically she
40:40
called the cops and said come quick come quick and then the line went dead the police didn't really know what to do
40:46
they didn't act maybe as quickly as they should have given that but it was 1950 you know whatever cars that can barely
40:53
reach 60 M hour so when they got to the house they find that she had been
40:58
brutally assaulted and murdered the kid was fine but she had been killed they
41:05
never found anyone they never you know pinned this on anybody at all but rumors
41:10
had said that it must have been an inside job for some reason the killer seem to know the layout of the house so
41:17
that's where this movie comes into play and the movie really is the first and not to spoil it I don't want to but the
41:24
movie does start with sort of a brutal murder of a babysitter getting calls
41:29
from inside the house just like oh and then she the main girl is like the
41:35
second baby victim okay yes it's very much psycho it's like okay we're following this person I kind of get it
41:41
and oh oh well all right that's story line is over I was wondering how they did this for 90 minutes again I watched
41:48
the trailer and I was like okay so she's watching a couple kids yeah I haven't seen the Remake I haven't seen the 2006
41:55
version so I'm not sure what they do there but yeah it does seem like a flimsy thing to to to run across 0
42:02
minutes yeah the cat and M scheme is really kind of boring yes like I'm going to hide in this room I'm going to get
42:08
away from you here and then I'm going to hide in this room it's one of those things where when you watch the first 20 minutes of the movie you're like this is
42:14
a killer Twilight Zone episode like this is right great and I'm not saying the
42:20
movie falls apart after that but it's clearly not as interesting as it is early on so if anybody wants to check
42:26
out just the First Act of it great do it you you won't be disappointed H okay I'm
42:32
still kind of curious that's another one I would seen yeah but I have seen number four and very few horror fans haven't
42:39
and that of course is Scream and the entire scream Series this came out in 1996 and this came out when you could
42:47
argue in the mid90s horror films were dead you had the Jason versus Freddy and all the earlier films were talking about
42:53
the Halloween films they were straight to video practically what was once in the 80s a great draw for teenagers you
43:00
know they kind of scoffed at it now you know those teenagers now were you know yeah young adults and adults are like come on this is stupid you things
43:07
weren't scary anymore I saw this in the theaters I would have been 21 at the time and I think this might have been
43:12
the first horror movie I've saw in the theaters I saw yeah like everything else at this time I probably would have seen on VHS yeah and so this was kind of my
43:21
first foray into the theater to see a scary film and I remember watching the theater with of course a full house
43:27
and it was really quite fun to hear the screams from the audience those days are I feel like they days gone by now right
43:35
yeah but this this rein so West Craven the creator of Nightmare on Elm Street reinvented again the horror genre with
43:41
the screen film because what the scream film does and we T it's funny that you talked about the film just previous When
43:47
a Stranger Calls because this opening sequence in Scream is exactly that we have a girl played by Drew Barrymore
43:52
which was a big actress at the time right and she's on the phone and she's getting prank called she's like who's
43:58
calling me and they're like I'm calling you from inside the house they said something to the effect where you could tell that they were in the house yeah
44:03
she gets killed at the very beginning of the film and we're like whoa that's crazy you know Drew Barrymore's dead you
44:09
know that's how the film starts and it's so really turns the expectations of the audience on their head and then these
44:14
teenagers throughout the film kind of make fun of horror films but then they end up becoming a part of a horror film
44:21
and they fall into the same tropes that they're making fun of so it's done really really really inventive really
44:26
well I think it it just reinvented the horror filmm of course there's many ripoffs afterwards like I Know What You Did Last Summer and urban legend or
44:33
whatever those were but this was the original again yeah and again like you said it kind of saved the horror genre
44:41
like I I don't think people understand how terrible horror movies were in the 90s they were they were not good people
44:46
didn't know what to do Freddy was on his last legs and so was Jason there was just nothing new happening and this
44:53
movie was wildly successful super popular and like you said if you didn't
45:00
really pay attention to the ads previews stuff like that I remember watching it and I think I watched it on video but I
45:06
was not paying attention to the movie when it exploded and I started to watch
45:12
it thinking oh Drew Barrymore is the main character of this and I was shocked
45:17
first of all I was like what wig did they put her in but after that then she's killed and it's just like oh I did
45:25
not see that coming and it seemed so brutal and so intense and actually legitimately scary yeah there were some
45:32
intense scary moments that fil I never been scared in the theater and it was fun to be scared it was that kind of scared like you're like oh this is cool
45:38
the jump scare was fun y um but now what was this based on now Kevin Williamson
45:43
wrote the film you might recognize that name from Dawson's Creek Creator Kevin Williamson did you know that no no I
45:50
I've never seen a moment of Dawson's okay well he created that you created that that franchise so the idea began
45:57
after hearing a news story regarding a man named Danny Rowling who murdered five college students and he actually
46:03
decapitated one of them all one night when he was robbing two college campuses
46:08
it that's nuts like that's crazy so he went on to murder like another 11 people
46:14
or whatever it was it was like yeah he was brutal so he came home one night Williamson after hearing this news he
46:19
saw that his window was he doesn't remember having it open when he came home so that planted the seed and he penned an 18-page short story that would
46:26
later formed the foundation for the film screen wow that's pretty interesting I like how Wes Craven films are on here
46:32
twice but he's only given credit once like right this was a song yeah he
46:37
directed that and Kevin Williamson wrote that one uh also though it's interesting the movie was originally called scary
46:43
movie oh my God but they ended up using that title for the uh parodies of the
46:48
screen films called scary movies yeah wow H I kind of like the name scary movie I kind of wish so do I it's funny
46:55
because there is a very lowbudget horror uh film that was made I think in
47:02
91 which was called scary movie and I'm just wondering if that's why in the end
47:08
Wes Craven was like oh maybe we shouldn't do this okay cuz I actually really like that title I was like this is a scary and it was at the time like I
47:14
said it really was it scared the crap out of teenagers watching it again in the theaters of course I would like the idea of using the title scary movie just
47:22
because I'm not crazy about using scream cuz I don't think a lot of people
47:27
understand get the painting reference and the scream and all that like I have
47:32
heard people and I hated it when eventually the killer started to be referred to as ghost face I'm like why
47:38
are you calling him ghost fa that's not it's a painting it's not called ghost I
47:43
that bothered me but that's irrational all right number three all right so number three The
47:50
Blob don't know if you're familiar with The Blob or I'm familiar with it I've seen I haven't seen the film but it's
47:55
one of those ones where I've seen so many Snippets and footage sure it's fun because the original was from 1958 and
48:03
they remade it again I have another film that's a remake they remade it in 88 and both are phenomenal actually it's yeah
48:10
it's not a downgrade honestly if you're just going in for the first time I'd say watch the 88 version it's it's pretty
48:17
cool but the original one in 58 it's also funny because Steve McQueen who was probably pushing 45 at the time plays a
48:23
teenager it's kind of silly yes oh that's f yeah and the movie's great it's it's a
48:29
blob from outer space it's this monstrous blob that grows and and feeds off of people it then increases in size
48:36
and so on and so forth but the story that it is based on I'm going to say in
48:42
1950 again 1950 hm didn't put that together two police officers reported
48:48
seeing something float down from the sky and land in a field when they
48:54
investigated they discovered an odd purplish substance with a similar consistency to soap that dissolved when
49:02
you touched it a half hour later it had completely melted away so it this isn't
49:08
just two people talking because then the Air Force was called in but of course when the Air Force got there there was
49:13
nothing left to examine so nothing was done but that's where this idea had come
49:20
from wow yeah I'm going to say it doesn't take a whole lot to make up some sort of UFO alien tale especially if
49:28
you're talking about stuff from the 40s and 50s when all this you know when there was UFO Mania but just the idea of
49:35
this Oozy substance it's not a Star Trek alien walking around talking to you with who has two arms and two legs and he
49:41
just has like horns on his head or something this was completely different than what people had seen in any type of
49:48
film or TV show before this you know this is interesting that those two police officers made this report because
49:53
I always wonder what's what's in it for them to make the report if it's not real I don't know you get your name in the paper I they're coming up on retirement
50:00
they're like we got to make a name for ourselves somehow but yeah it's seems I don't
50:06
know something there would you though would you ever make a report of seeing something even in today's like social
50:12
media viral I wouldn't do it if I didn't have video footage of anything why would I make a report that I saw something
50:18
fall from the sky what's the point oh what's the yeah especially if you know that you're lying if you have malicious
50:24
intent you have to know you're going to be found out or do you want all that extra attention I wouldn't I don't I
50:31
don't want to follow up reports having answer the same questions over and over again no no way that's always been my
50:39
devil's advocate in favor of UFO reports whatever what people are like what's in it for them other than them being called
50:45
crazy now maybe some people are just lying because are liars sure but not everyone's doing it some real
50:50
respectable people are saying things that are like yes what's the point I mean a lot of times I think it's just
50:56
people think they see something that they didn't or it turns out to be oh it
51:02
really was dish soap and it just looked weird under the night sky or something like that but I really applaud the
51:09
makers of the film for taking on the idea of UFOs and aliens in a very different way and if it came from this
51:15
story that's pretty clever I think okay I'm going to check out the blob I got a few to check out now great yeah sure and
51:20
I definitely didn't know about that origin story interesting okay Annabelle have you seen Annabelle I have not I
51:26
think it's the only thing on this list that I have not seen okay I've seen this I've seen all the conjuring films all the The Conjuring Universe films the
51:33
great films you have wow oh I love them yeah I love them very well done the only one I watched it might seem like a weird
51:39
one to watch was the nun that's the one I haven't seen I heard that one wasn't too great it's not very great it's more
51:45
of a Gothic horror movie it looks beautiful there's like big mansions and
51:51
it looks it's not scary at all well the cont films are based on Ed and Lorraine
51:57
waren they they're kind of like Paranormal possession type part of the
52:02
like I think they're Catholic I believe and by faith they're they're basically called in X Files almost they're they're
52:09
called in to take care of houses that are haunted or people that are possessed and and they've written books and done
52:15
interviews and there's a lot of scrutiny under their credibility of they were in charge of the Amityville Horror they've
52:21
done it all okay and so but there's money to be made in this business and there's some speculation and that maybe
52:28
their stories aren't true so this kind of ties into Annabelle now Annabelle is based on a doll this one starts in 1970
52:35
after a nursing student received an antique raggedy andal as a birthday gift from her mother almost immediately she
52:41
and her roommate noticed odd things happening in their apartment they' find the doll in different positions then when they left it then odd cryptic notes
52:48
began to appear with messages like help me and this was shown in the film Annabelle a psychic was then called and
52:54
informed them that the doll was indeed possessed by young girl named Annabelle so the roommates tried to let the spirit
52:59
reside with him you know hey you can hang out with us however as time went by things began to turn dark like we said
53:04
before if a poltergeist is showing itself and it's not getting the point across to you who's non- Poltergeist
53:10
they might up their ante so scratches began to appear on them reports of oozing blood from the doll and even one
53:16
claim that they were attacked Ed and Lorraine were called in like the big professionals right so they examined the
53:22
doll and they determined indeed that the spirit was actually de a demonic in nature so they cleansed the apartment
53:28
and they took the doll back to their occult Museum where it remains locked up to this stage so they actually have a
53:35
legit Ed and rine war and I think one of them has passed away I think Ed maybe oh okay I thought they' both died both I
53:43
could be wrong well they're based in back in the 70s what have you if if if they're not dead now they're very old
53:50
they actually yeah they have a museum of and I'm sure it's very interesting artifacts the dolls there and it's like
53:56
in the glass cage and they have all these other different stuff and it's almost each item could have its own film
54:02
of how it came to be that's kind of The Conjuring Universe they've done that with the doll they've done that they've
54:08
made a few movies from the doll for p sakes the problem is is that the only people who have the account of this doll
54:14
are the owners of the doll right sure that's the story of the doll right you see what I'm getting at oh yeah yeah no
54:21
of course yeah I the thing that I will say is there's something interesting
54:26
about this being part of the list because this basically is like here's the story behind this doll here's all
54:33
the crazy nonsense these people said about this doll and guess what we just made a movie about it it's not taking a
54:40
leap it's not saying oh that's an interesting concept now I'm going to put my own twist it's basically just saying
54:45
like you know what great story let's just run with it let's just do this I don't know if that makes it good or if
54:51
that makes it bad but it's really the first one we've talked about where it seems like story to film no
54:59
change no spin on it here we go that's it now there are a lot of accounts of
55:07
dolls being really creepy sure that that's the thing so I will I don't know if this Annabelle doll itself is true
55:14
that's a true story that it's this ragged andall did things to these college student roommates maybe but
55:21
again there's there's so many accounts of people having dolls doing really weird things oh yeah you know you're
55:26
talking about ghost films I don't like creepy doll movies I really don't I have you won like Annabelle no I have
55:33
daughters I have dolls everywhere I do not that's one thing that I do not want to see like I don't want that my
55:39
daughter my daughter has dolls in her room and they freak them terrifying I'm like what how
55:46
can you sleep in this room I wouldn't be able to so is that why is that I wonder to why that is it's weird I don't know
55:52
there's been so many weird doll possession thing I talked about the Twilight Zone earlier a Twilight Zone episode with Telly seales called talking
55:58
Tina and the doll murders the father of this family it's terrifying I I don't like it that it in creepy kids like
56:06
murderous kid movies I don't like those either number one we're on to number one here and we're going back to Steven
56:12
Spielberg with jaws yeah I mean do I even need to talk about what Jaws is if you haven't seen Jaws you know what Jaws
56:19
is about it's a killer shark the I've even seen Jaws I'm not a big Spielberg fan another thing that I'm not a fan of
56:25
is killer animal movies they're boring yes okay good I thought you were going to say you're scared of them I don't
56:32
like I don't find any not entertaining no I I don't like those movies
56:37
whatsoever I like Mindless attacking Michael Myers yeah you know sure but I
56:43
don't like animals attacking to me it's just it's again it's just boring and I've always said with jaws here's a news
56:49
flash guys stay out of the water yeah the end I know the end don't swim it
56:55
could have been a 10 minute long movie although you can say that about any movie I remember talking to somebody once after we watched um Goodwill
57:01
Hunting and we walked out of the theater and she was like I could have told that story in 20 minutes I was like that's
57:07
not the point I mean anybody could have done that but anyway this is a well- loved because I think a lot of people
57:13
love the way it was filmed oh I enjoy the movie I really do I I'm actually bored oh really okay I I I need to
57:20
rewatch it it's been 30 plus years it has been a long time I think the last time I saw it I was a teenager and maybe I just but even to this day though
57:27
anything like any animal talking animal movies or I can't stand I don't like animal movies yeah and I I think a lot
57:34
of my reason is I grew up with so many pets and I still have so many pets and I just don't I know there are people out
57:41
there that are terrified of dogs or something like that so maybe those films really bother them or maybe they enjoy
57:46
them because they could see being mauled by a bear if they're off somewhere it's nothing I give any thought to so it's
57:51
not going to bother me at all but I also don't think of Jaws as an animal attack movie I should but I don't because it's
57:58
so well written the music is great anyway I don't have to tell people that Jaws is worth checking out just check it
58:04
out so most people the one thing I I found out is that most people speculated that the novel and we're talking about
58:11
the novel because it's 100% based on novel was based off of a string of shark attacks that took place in New Jersey in
58:18
1916 but benley the author uh says that's not the case he talks about the
58:23
fact that there was a 4,000 500 lb great white that had been harpooned off the
58:31
coast of Long Island in 1964 if people don't know anything about fish weights
58:36
or shark weights 4500 lb is wild and
58:41
terrifying for being right off the coast of Long Island so of course that's the inspiration for the novel which then I
58:48
know we're talking about Spielberg a lot but he just took a novel and adapted it here that's where it came from that's
58:54
where the author got the idea to write this story down I've never read the book and if anybody's bored by the movie I
59:01
can't imagine the book isn't that interesting I got to I got to rewatch the movie I know my ever growing queue
59:07
of things to watch I know I've seen it before but sure it's tough cuz I'll watch something as you know a
59:12
15-year-old and I'm like I hated it and people say give another chance I'm like why do I want to bother giveing another
59:18
chance like I didn't like it then and if I don't like it now I just wasted two hours yeah that's the list that's the
59:24
list I always go in kind of thinking I know what I'm going to pick but I actually as we talk about the topics and
59:30
as we go through it I my mind kind of changes as we went through I wrote down a couple of yours things I had not
59:37
researched as possibilities but uh yeah what did you do you want to make a call
59:42
here I I think and this doesn't reflect the film sure okay so we're not reading
59:48
film yes but I think for me the one that just doesn't really translate very well
59:55
to film from what may may or happened in real life is number seven return to the Living Dead 100% on board that's the one
1:00:02
I picked oh really yeah yeah it was between that or the strangers which I
1:00:08
kind of just thought was lazy because I don't know people ring people's doorbell and they robbed houses and okay that
1:00:14
seemed kind of lazy return to the Living Dead there's nothing there there is absolutely nothing there it's just you
1:00:20
going that movie made a ton of money I now I guess have the rights to make the
1:00:25
next one let's make it silly that's the point of that movie that movie takes it to a silly crazy level I don't care
1:00:33
about a story about radioactive waste on a graveyard who cares you made a silly movie even the other ones have some sort
1:00:40
of semblance of really happening where this is like come on really I a chemical truck spilled on a graveyard and a leg
1:00:49
moved I like move while you were removing dirt what do you think even if that story even if that story was true
1:00:56
it has very little to do with the film yeah but it's not like a person got up and wandered around and started eating
1:01:02
somebody if that was the story great you know what I'll buy it make your movie
1:01:07
say that that's what it's based on that's very flimsy well it has been a real pleasure Doug having you on I
1:01:14
