and battle out to build the ultimate top 10 list
so grab those boo buckets
hit the rewind re hit that rewind button
and join us for another round
of the sleepover retro countdown show
on this episode battling for the top 10 horror movies
that imprinted on us
how how personal imprinted what
what what does that even mean though
what are our rules well
today's rules are 1 whatever we consider a horror movie
so whatever genres are irrelevant
it's up to us and number two
these are not necessarily favorites
these are the movies that imprinted on us
meaning
we have thought about them the most over the years
yes for a
as a least as of today
because then there's probably so many other one
it is likely an evolving fluid list
but we'll do our best to battle it out for the top 10
well and who is first up to the battlefield today
let's do age before beauty
so I'll go first sounds good
so battling it out
competing for the No. 9 and No.
10 spots on our countdown
I first offer up my No. 5 pick
Transylvania 6 5,000 from 1985
oh my gosh have you seen this movie
I have but not since I was a kid
but it's got like a
an incredible cast right
it does it does
and I rewatched it as an adult
I didn't love it I'd like to try again
it's been a number of years
but I'm going with this for my No. 5
because it felt like one of the first
the kind of multiversal movies
have all these different monster characters
I liked the comedic aspect of it
I was a big fan of much of the cast as a kid
which is like
Jeff Goldblum and Beverly
Beverly junior Gina Davis and Michael Richards
right because I think yeah
when I watched this Seinfeld was on
and I was discovering him through U H F
and this movie because he's Kramer
he's like Proto Kramer in both of those movies
well and similarly
like
Gina Davis and Jeff Goldblum are also together in Earth
Girls are alien
which is what was one of my favorite childhood movies
so and the fly
there was just a lot yeah
and the fly that's right
well they were a couple in real life
yeah but I guess they just kept getting cast
so there was a lot this movie had going for it
that it just every time I see the poster
see the VHS see the DVD
it just pulls me right back to being a kid
and loving the balance of comedy with horror
it's horror motif like
there's not even horror plot
in it there's certainly no darkness
there's no violence or anything like that
but it has all of the elements of horror you could want
and does it with comedy so
and it probably felt like you were watching something
a little adult
but still cartoonish cause I'm gonna guess
and again I haven't seen it in 20+ years
but I'm gonna guess there's some sex jokes in there too
so it feels like oh
I'm watching something that's a little bit
but still but still also has like
Michael Richards being a human cartoon in it
well like Earth Girls are easy
very similar that's True
Tone where you could watch it as a kid and think
this is so risque and fun and funny
and then as an adult you're like wow
is this actually kid appropriate
I'm not totally sure so I'm going with Transylvania
6 5,000 what have you got
so my first choice
so grew up loving the universal Monster movies
there's some of the earliest ones I remember watching
Frankenstein Dracula
I can remember that Frankenstein
the mummy those VHS tapes
but for some reason I never owned any of them
the one I did own
so the one I've probably seen more than any other movie
is the invisible man from 1933
I remember very specifically
I don't know Guido if you ever got these
but
one of the main place I bought tapes from was Costco
oh I
I was never a Costco member
that was
it felt like that was a little later into my life
I don't know if that's my being older than you
or just where I grew up but that was never a part
they would just have these big tubs of tapes
and I remember getting the invisible man there
and then just watching that all the time
and it wasn't until years later
knowing that it had a gay director and this very gay
camp sensibility
but that's also probably why I liked it as a kid
because it is funny
as well as having those horror elements
and I always and UNO Conner yeah
and UNO Conner
Conner screaming
steals the show steals in the show
and the special effects are like
actually still incredibly impressive
they are and sometimes you watch it and you're like
I still don't fully understand how they did this
without editing the image on a computer
but they did and it's cool
I always say to kid and to
to friends of ours that have kids
put these universal monster movies on
because it's gonna help them have a better aesthetic
because the movies are like 60
70 minutes long so it's not a big commitment
it's gonna get them to like
something in black and white
and something that's a different pace
and they're fun movies I think kids will enjoy them
and they can get into
it's such a good gateway horror because it's quote
unquote scary
but by 2025 standards it's not actually really scary
brainwashing the next generation exactly
alright winner
I I I
I feel strongly that the invisible man has to win
oh well
I was gonna say
since I haven't seen Transylvania 6 5,000 in many years
I feel like I couldn't vote for it so okay
the invisible man alright
so Transylvania 6 5,000 is our No. 10
our No. 9 is the invisible man
what are you offering for our next round
so competing for spots eight and seven
so my last movie was from 1933
now I'm gonna hop to 1983
does every year end in a three
that you're watching off of
oh let me see
no that this is the last one
but something completely different
this is David Pryor's Sledgehammer from 1983
Guido I don't think you've actually seen this movie
no I don't want to
it shouldn't even be on this list
I feel like this should
should not be into the real genre exploitation realm
but alright
well it's not really
it's almost like an experimental movie
so for folks who don't know
this was the first horror movie
that was shot and released on VHS
on tape so there was some movie
horror movies that were released on VHS first
but they were actually shot on film
this is I believe
the first one that was shot on tape
released on tape
and it's almost like this experimental movie
cause there's a one long sequence of some guy just
of a guy and a girl just walking
and it's just stretched out in slow mo
because they needed to obviously fill
like 80 minutes of this movie
so there's a lot of just people drunk
probably actually drunk sitting around
and then there's only a little bit of actual horror
but the reason why I have this on this list is
it is such so dreamlike
I think it's the first SOV
shot on video movie I might have ever actually seen
I saw it late at night
and maybe not in the right state of mind
and then the whole movie was like
oh my god am I actually watching
was this actually made so
I think it changed the way I could see movies
even being made but it was much later right
I mean
this was in within the last few years that you saw
oh yeah yeah
Intervision which is part of Severin
put it out on DVD
and then just now it actually just arrived
but Teravision just did a wonderful deluxe edition
with the soundtrack which I was like
oh my gosh how can no one put out the soundtrack
cause of course it's this classic synthesizer
probably one person tapping away a keys soundtrack
so it's the movie it's the soundtrack
they did a T-shirt I'm super excited to to watch this
alright I've got nothing to add to this one hahaha
what what's your next one
I'm taking it down with the gate from 1987
so the gate is the first real horror movie where like
scary bad things happen
that I can remember seeing when I was younger
and this is peak horror era
so nightmare on Elm Street is humongous at this point
all the big ones are out at this point
I have older siblings
and my older sister is big into horror
but I was pretty scared I
I was six years old I I
I didn't like to watch horror too much
but this one I remember
I discovered watching it on TV
so I was probably seven by the time I saw it
and I don't know why I was okay with it
it was the first scary movie where I was like okay
I'm okay being scared by this
this one was a kid in a comfort zone
too scary so what is it
is it Steven Dorkin president
and he is yeah yeah
is it intended it
was it intended for adults
or was it intended for like
a young audience oh
definitely adults no
this is not really a fantasy OK
this is not
this is not a Dark Crystal kind of situation
yeah this is
or even you know
never endings or any of those
it's that era but this is a real horror movie
it's scary it's yes
the protagonists are kids
but this is scary now no
there's probably not a lot of blood
there's not cursing
so certainly it's not adult in that way
but this movie is not a kids movie
well but it's probably that
that Steven King that Steven King thing then
because of course
like he was so popular then where okay
it's gonna be horror
but seen through the eyes of adolescents
yeah yeah
it could be that but I just
I really loved this movie a lot
I've loved it when I've rewatched it it's
it never makes it into like
my top favorite lists
but it has imprinted on me because of that
really just formative moment
and again the being the gateway into real horror
feeling a little edgy was like the first
uh
record album I bought with the Explicit Lyrics label
like it felt like
oh okay
and I've only seen it the one time
when you showed it to me but are there also
is this one of the many movies from this era
that also has like
little diminutive creatures in it
yes OK yeah
well that
they were so big
all sorts of things coming out of the gate
but yeah yeah
but every other movie critters
Ghoulie's Gremlins
like they always had
it's not quite like those
it's not it's definitely not one of the Gremlins
derivative films no way
but there are little like
shadow demony things that come out
so yeah
so I love the gate
and I'm hard pressed to let it lose to sledgehammer
so what are you feeling I
I agree since
since you haven't seen sledgehammer
and since I'm all for Gateway hahaha
no pun intended or pun intended
horror movies let's go with the gate
alright the gate wins against sledgehammer
so up next I'll kick us off in our next round
battling for numbers five and six
I'm bringing us Child's play
and Child's play the original from 1988
so there's a real theme of most of my picks
being around this moment
but Child's play is a funny one cause it's also
it's like your sledgehammer for me
I didn't really absorb it until very recently
until the last few years in fact
I had definitely seen it I obviously knew Chucky
knew the franchise it's everywhere
but
I didn't really sit down and pay full attention to it
until we watched it
and then ultimately the whole series of movies
and then the whole series of TV shows
and the reason I'm offering it
as a movie that imprinted on me
is because it is a whole world
and that's really cool
I love movies with world building
and watching the fact that for the most part
one person spearheaded this world
over the course of the whole franchise
stepped away for a little bit of it
but otherwise really had his hand in almost everything
so he got to call back to little things
bring characters back
who you really just never thought were gonna be
that big a thing reuse actors all the time
I mean it's a world
and I love things that are a whole well developed world
and then of course
it's got a good sense of humor
it's real horror there's no doubt about it
and LED by a queer person with a very queer lens
so there's a whole lot that I've loved
about stepping into the child's play world
so this one is an imprinting on me for sure
and yeah
I don't know the first time I saw this movie
I can't remember if I watched it in high school
but I was watching a lot of these formative movies
I don't remember it in the same way
that I remember the first time
seeing nightmare on Elm Street
or Friday the thirteenth but for us
or especially maybe me when the other movies
the later movies were coming out
they were much campier and Joker
so I think the first time
and that's so that's what to Chucky was to me
and then I think the first time I saw this movie
and it's actually a very similar trajectory
to nightmare on Elm Street
where there's humor in both of the original movies
with the antagonist
but they didn't become the joke fest
the one liners that they became later
so when you're watching this first movie
and it's pretty serious I like no
you've got Dina Manoff in there
and my gosh
she is she
she she dies far too soon
but she is hilarious when she's alive so
yeah that it's
it's it is a
it is a it is a great movie
and we're still waiting though
for Krista
Randall and the mother to come back into the series
they're like
two of the only ones who have not returned
even though they're both still alive
they have to be recast because yes
she could be recast particularly in the TV show
she unfortunately did fall out a window
so she can't come back in that version
so yeah
so child's play is my uh
warrior for this battle what are you bringing
so I'm bringing one that
some people might not consider a horror movie
but since we said our rules are
do we consider it a horror movie
and it is a very disturbing movie
even though it's supposed to be a comedy
and this is nothing but trouble from 1991
yeah
yeah so we just did a screening of that
we just did a screening of it
we've also done a screening of Child's Play
so very very fitting here
yeah but this round
I had to choose a movie
so anyone who grew up in the New York
New Jersey area like both you and I
did the WPI X Channel 11 that
that they played they were New York's Movie Station
that was their tagline
and they played movies all the time
so
so many of the seminal movies I watched were from them
but
not too many movies I'd put in kind of the horror camp
but this was one of them so
the only time I really ever watched this movie
was probably with commercials taped off of TV
and this movie just kind of imprinted
and it's one of those movies now
and this was happening a lot
when we were doing our screening of it
where you'll start to talk to people
and it's like yeah
it's Dan Akroyd and his nose looks like a penis
and he's a judge
and there's a roller coaster that eats people
and Tupac is in it and John Candy's in drag
and people are like I thought I made that movie up
I didn't think
it's definitely a Mandela Effect kind of movie
where it's like this real
did this exist not sure so
but it did exist I had
I've not seen it since actually
that was one screening I couldn't make uh
that we were hosting so I've not actually seen this
probably in the 35 years since it came out
so yeah I
I remember it existing but I don't think
had we not explored it as a screening possibility
I don't think I would have ever been able to recall it
either and it's very similar to
especially Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2
because it a lot is this family
but they do have
even though it's supposed to be a comedy
they do have a a room
full of the bones of the people that they've killed
and there's these two deformed
and you kind of get the Assumption that they're like
inbred kids that are living outside
or however old they are who are living outside
Bobo and Little Devil who are these big deformed it's
it's it's funny they're
they're 'cause they mostly interact with Demi Moore
and they kind of look like the
post substance kind of creatures
that is true I never thought about that
but yeah it's
it's very disturbing and if you
it's only the only movie ever directed by Dan Akroyd
he co wrote it
he stars in it in two roles and directed it
and if you've ever heard interviews with Dan Akroyd
like he's a true believer in a lot of this stuff
like all the Ghostbusters stuff and UFO's
like he really
truly believes in all this
and you can see like this is one of those effects
like those like
the blank check movies like
what if you just gave a director who was probably
or a star who was at like
the peak of his powers like
do whatever you wanna do and we have no oversight
and if it's someone like Dan Akroyd
this is the movie you're gonna get
so round three
I'm finding it hard to let nothing but trouble beat
child's play no
I do have to agree I think
all right we have to go with child's play there
all right that wraps up round three
on to round two
so for movies 3 and 4
I'm gonna go with creep show from 1982
okay where do you fuck stand on this movie Guido
cause I don't know if it's a
has it a movie that we've watched together
yes we did
it's fine I
I have no problem with it
I saw it both as a kid and then as an adult
so it's been around my orbit on like
some things like child's play
as I mentioned
I I like parts of it
but I don't love any of it enough to ever say that
it's a movie that I love
so I think it works well as an anthology movie
which we're both big fans of anthology movies
obviously
the comic book interstitials are very cool looking
but other than that I don't have a lot to say about it
so why is this something that you consider
having imprinted on you I think it's the rewatchability
I think sometimes with horror movies especially
you can it's best to watch them every few years
and this is a movie
I once famously remember watching this twice in one day
cause I watched it with my roommates
and then our other friend came over
and she had never seen it
it was like okay
put putting on creep show again
cause it it is a great movie like that
it's a great party movie
cause there's the five segments
there's a lot of big name people
Leslie Nielsen and Ted Danson
before they did their comedy things
and E G Marshall and all these great people at Harris
and what works well is their
they're very different segments
but they're very totally consistent
so that's why I think it works well as an anthology
uh huh sometimes I think with anthology
you have two sets of anthology movies
you have something like this
where
they're all written and directed by the same person
so Stephen King himself actually wrote the screenplay
George Romero directed it
and then you have movies like the VHS movies
where they're all done by different people
and those can be fun
cause you get different perspectives
but sometimes with those movies you don't get the tone
like the tone can shift too wildly
I think with one director
sometimes you can get like a sameness to it
but I think this movie as you just said
like the tone is perfect and because the
there's like a creature feature
like without like an eight man
and then there's a zombie
and then there's like a human villain with like a
this like a killer like
I think it varies enough that it doesn't seem like oh
it's just the same thing over and over again
yeah I agree
I think it's balanced works well that way
so good choice but I'm bringing the Queen for this one
hahaha so my round two competitor
Elvira Mistress of the dark
in her 1988 first feature film
and this is the moment I fell in love with Elvira
and here we are almost 40 years later
and that love has not waned in the least
this was my entry to her probably
she was around in commercials and advertisements
as we know and hosting MTV
but this is the perfect time for me
to have discovered this movie
I couldn't believe I was allowed to watch this movie
I remember not even getting a lot of the jokes
and asking my older neighbor
who would tell me things
that I really should not have known
and tell me the wrong information
but it is so great and it was
perhaps even one of my formative moments with camp
which yes
I'm a huge fan of
and so that's why this not only has imprinted on me
because of my love and appreciation of Alvira
but really getting what camp is at that moment
understanding how someone can pull off humor and parody
but also be doing something sincere and straightforward
and I I love that sweet spot that things hit
and this is a great example that hits that
you can watch it on face value and really enjoy it
and then you can also dig a little deeper
scratch the surface and see what she's doing
to parody B movies and to parody a lot of 80s movies
and tropes of films at the time
the music montage I mean
everything is in here
and she's just hilarious and amazing
and she is the queen hahaha yeah
when did you first see this
not until much later I think
to your point you were saying
you were surprised you were allowed to see this
I don't remember ever being told
I wasn't allowed to see this
but I had I feel like
at least
the sense that Elvira was off limits when I was young
which is funny
because you're able to watch movies with more Gore
and stuff like that
but I think there was just something she represented
with sex and cleavage and cleavage
that I just wasn't allowed to watch this movie
and it wasn't until I don't
I don't even remember
I think it wasn't until I met you that I had even
that sounds like a right which is shocking
Elvira wasn't as much in my life
I think'cause I was coming of age at like the
she had kind of crested like
the course ads and all that stuff
like it had just kind of was waning then
so she was still around of course
but it wasn't like the time when she was like
hosting MTV and all that stuff
yeah well
it's funny too it's funny too though
I just wanted to point out before we choose our winner
that the Gate Child's play
and Elvira like
all three of those choices all prominently have like
kids in them for you and of course
a lot of horror movies and I'm 7
8 years old when those are all coming out
yeah exactly
that's why those imprinted on me
because absolutely like I
I'm sure an element of it was I could step into it
and it was me and that was really powerful
even if I'm not conscious of that now
I'm hard pressed not to let Elvira win
but I might be willing to bend
where are you
this is the closest of the ones we've had so far
because
I'd also say Elvira is not really a horror movie
I mean it even doesn't have like
too many like
hold on go back to our rules yes
no debating genre no
that's true that's true
so hmm
this one's a tricky one
but we even have an Elvira Standy in our store
so I'm gonna go I will yield to Elvira
all right my gosh
I don't know I
I think George Romero would be okay with that
isn't Creepshow George Romero right
yes yes
yes yes
I'm sure he would have loved
and Steven King too so yeah
they'll both be willing to see
alright it's our final round
and I will start us off with the movie that is here
the movie that is here hahaha
this is the movie this is one of my favorite movies
period of any movie
not even horror movies this is scream from 1996
and it's funny that you noticed
I hadn't even been conscious of how
my other pics all have prominent child protagonists
and I was a child that's probably what happened here
and I didn't even realize it
but you were like
more of a teenager at this point
yeah I'm in high school when this movie comes out
I go see it with my friends
I mean it was aimed squarely at me and my age
and I've never looked back
I have loved every installment of this film
I am so ready for the next film
the next film's also coming out on the 30th anniversary
which is so cool not the exact day
but next year
being the 30th anniversary of this franchise
I mean I love this movie
I think it is just pitch perfect
it has the meta storytelling
which is a huge part of stories that I love
maybe this was even my gateway drug
into meta storytelling I don't know
it's great horror it's
it's iconic horror it's great actors
it's great everything I mean
I have zero complaints about this movie
and I will defend it and protect it and love it forever
until I'm dead and it's one of the best movies ever
and if anyone doesn't like horror movies
I think this is the right movie
to make you question that
because it has so much going on for it
so this
and did you see this in the theaters when it first came
out totally yes
with my friends right
like again
that's why it was aimed right at me
cause I was probably in ninth grade
freshman in high school
and me and my friends went to see this
and then we went to see every sequel
and we went to see every teen slasher that there was
but this is the one where it was like OK
this is something else I can't stop thinking about it
I can't stop uh
wanting to follow every part of it
every sequel every actor
I fell in love with Courtney Cox and Neve Campbell
and all everyone who was in this
I then followed on to other things
and then of course
once the sequels come
and you get Sarah Michelle Gellar
or Parker Posey or these people
I'm like oh gosh
this is yeah
I don't think I was able to watch it
until it came out on VHS
I do think I saw it probably in'96
or maybe like the next year
there was two movies that came out
I actually think
they might have even come out the same weekend
I could be wrong about that
it was scream and Beavis and Butthead do America
neither one I was allowed to see
but at the same time I remember kids
I remember like
having to do a school project of people
like doing a poster
and it was like what movies are you most anticipating
and those were like the number one and number two
and I was like I can't see either of those
but I did see it when it came out
and there's something also
I think about seeing it at that age
and I don't think this would happen
maybe with kids who are seeing it
teenagers who are seeing it today
but there is that time when like
your parents then go out and you are home
and the phone rings after you see this movie
and it's like the same thing that I think you got
probably
when you're watching The Ring for the first time
and like you're renting a
a VHS tape there's something
it's like this could feel like it happens
well the ring is supernatural
and yes
I don't have any supernatural fears really
yeah this movie
talk about imprinting this movie
to this day I will think about this movie
whenever I find myself in a situation
where I could be killed and someone is nearby
uh huh to this day
I mean you probably don't even notice
but when I if I have to run downstairs to like
get something after we're upstairs
and all the lights downstairs are off
I dash back up the stairs
because in my mind that is a scream murder moment
you're upstairs I go downstairs
I get killed without you knowing
you come back upstairs but one thing
dead dead sets this movie apart
yeah one thing that sets this movie apart
in that way unlike say
like a Friday the 13th
where you're in the woods
is a lot of the murders happen with other people
very close by like Rose Mcgowan
you know she
she gets killed in the garage
everyone else is partying
like a few feet away
and there's a believability at the beginning
set the whole template I mean
that's why that's why this is terrifying
is because it it can happen at any point anywhere like
and it doesn't matter how close someone is
even then in the sequel
Jada Pinkett in the movie theater
yes that's a good example
it's just though it's
it's incredible
and that's why it's imprinted on me forever
but you really brought the big guns to this battle
so what are you bringing as your number one
so my number one for here is also the movie
if you probably ask me
what would be my favorite movie of all time
I would probably also say this one
it's probably unchained since I was in high school
and that is Alfred Hitchcock
Psycho from 1960
and I know you're kind of works for that too
that too that too yeah
I mean there are a lot of similarities
between those two movies and that's true
even if you take the the Janet Lee shift
that not not Janet Lee
yeah yeah yeah
Janet Lee and Drew Barrymore
she dies yeah
yeah yeah yeah
and and a kind of a queer angle to one having a queer
gay screenwriter one having a gay actor and yeah
and this this murder mystery kind of element
to both of the movies but I think it's
I think it's just a perfect movie
I think from everything in terms of the acting
you know a lot of the Hitchcock movies
except for like
the James Stewart performances
like if you watch them today
the acting often does feel dated
but Anthony Perkins in this movie does not
like he feels so current
and there's almost this interesting conflict
between the way his acting style is
and the way like
Janet Leigh's acting style is
in the famous parlor scene in this movie
well because he has so much going on underneath and yes
that's the big difference
and it's not that the other actors of this era didn't
but there are just these moments where
and hitch knows what he's doing
and just sits the camera on him
and he's just
there are so many layers to the performance
probably too
I think it has to do with the moment it came out
being 1960 it really it
it feels of the earlier era
but it's not it's the start of a different era of movie
it is and filmmaking
so it's it's a very cool movie
even just situated in that way
and I think that's what
what can explain some of those really interesting
dynamic performances and choices that are being made
and I love to a lot of I think it influenced it
going back to like imprinted
I think there's a lot of horror movies
I love like
some of the Ty West movies
like house of the Devil where like
nothing much happens for the first half of the movie
and then kind of everything explodes
and you can see so much of the template in here
where you're watching that first part
but really before she gets to the motel and like
it's just she's being stalked by the police officer
and she's changing touching the car
but you're all the time saying like
this is tense but it's like
not much is really happening
no the tension is about stealing money
like it's stealing money
and then they're happy at that point
yeah then
they're just sitting
and having conversation at the motel
and then like
the murder happens and then we go back to like
not much happening again like
people talking until like
arbagas gets gets murdered at the movie
and then obviously like
at the the end of the end of the film
so I I think
it's just so perfectly structured in that way
and I think like
it's the ultimate movie that
if you're teaching a film studies class
or just wanna show someone
like this is how movies are made
like this movie maybe jaws
like there's a couple
a handful of movies like
just put that on and like
that's worth like
four years of college basically watching these movies
I agree and for that reason
I seed while scream is the most important movie to me
I will seed to psycho as our number one spot so
well it's interesting too
I think like
of all the movies we mentioned
and obviously psycho it's 1960
so some things have changed
but I'll also say like
those are the two scariest movies
I think we have on this list
that is true that is very true
while while the gate scared me as a kid
I don't think it still would be
sledgehammer probably is less scary and more gory
uh tense
child's play yeah
so you're right I think
we did end with the most horrifying of the films
which I guess at the end of the day
with horror is what you want right
like you want that scariness
but you also still want it just removed enough
like it's not like we're talking about like
murders or or funny games or something
safe scary you still want safe scary
exactly totally
