Horror Movie Madness: From Slashers to Supernatural
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Fear takes center stage as we launch our five-part Halloween special with a deep dive into the world of horror cinema! From childhood terrors to modern-day frights, this episode uncovers the movies that have shaped our relationship with fear.
Remember "Shocktober" on PIX? We travel back to those spine-tingling promotional segments that had us all talking the next day at school, especially that infamous slime monster that made us think twice about swimming in lakes. Our slasher discussion pits Jason Voorhees against Michael Myers, with Friday the 13th and Halloween competing for the crown of ultimate slasher film, while Silent Night, Deadly Night gets an unexpected shoutout as a hidden gem.
The conversation shifts to psychological horror, where The Shining reigns supreme with its disorienting cinematography and pure dread. Kubrick's masterful manipulation of viewers' psyches remains unmatched decades later. We explore how found footage revolutionized horror with Blair Witch Project's groundbreaking marketing and the evolution of zombie films from Night of the Living Dead to Return of the Living Dead, where intelligent zombies eat brains "to make the pain of being dead go away."
Video game horror gets its moment too, with Resident Evil and Doom bridging the gap between interactive and cinematic scares. We close by celebrating Halloween's cultural resurgence, driven partly by retailers like Spirit Halloween, which has transformed the holiday into a season-long celebration.
What horror movie still haunts your dreams? Listen to our spirited debate and join us next week for the second installment in our Halloween series. The nightmare is just beginning!

Halloween Episode Series Introduction
Speaker 1Jersey guy past pot.
Speaker 2But to put the podcast yeah, he got done yeah.
Speaker 1Also known as the CCN and J guy. Yeah, short yeah. You see that. You know it's up there, as you see. Yes, on the side on the wall right there. Yeah, short, yeah, you see that.
Speaker 2you know it's up there as you see. Yes, on the sign on the wall right there. Yeah. Everybody knows you said it like five times, could be just digging how this thing looks. It looks fine, it's cool. We can't put the lights any darker, though.
Speaker 3Now you know, as we're talking today, five Halloween episode series. So we got five Wednesdays in October and it is going to be five episodes of.
Speaker 2Halloween, yes. So so these episodes starting with Horror movies, horror flicks.
Speaker 3Horror flicks, horror movies and the first thing I think of now, anybody who grew up in the New York Metro area, new York City Metro area, had PIX Right.
Speaker 3Now they had a thing that they used to do called Shocktober Right and they would do these like crazy videos for like promotional ads for it, and it would be like crazy. And I remember like being a kid we grew up in like the 90s right you know I was in the 90s in like middle school Right and all those. We would the next day line it up because it would be all week long.
Speaker 2Yeah, every night was another horror movie.
Speaker 3And we would all be talking.
Speaker 2Remember like Freak Show would came on and we're all like Freak Show was a good one we would know like that famous one where that with the like.
Speaker 3I used to be afraid to swim in a frigging lake watching it.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, that big slime shit. Do you remember the freak show when they had the floating? It was like a floating slime. Yeah.
Speaker 3It looked like the oil slime shit yeah that was way back so for some of you guys it's a little bit way back was like mini stories and they had this one. If this is anybody, just tell anybody who hasn't seen it. So I gotta remember to talk to both. Yeah, so what it was is there was a different stories. Anyway, one of the stories was they went to this.
Speaker 3There was like people they had this like you know they, they had like like a trans am and I'm playing the music and like, oh, check out this lake, let's go swimming and they go swimming and there's like a floating dock and there's just like this slime and it's just like starts like eating the people, like the movie the Blob, but like on water, yeah it was sick oh nice.
Speaker 1And it's funny.
Speaker 2I vaguely remember that and like at the end like the to swim and he gets to the like to the edge of the water and it just turns into a wave and sucks him in anyway and then at the end there's like a sign and it says no swimming so it makes you think, what no swimming signs really mean yeah, exactly, don't go in the water. It's real simple, like don't do that shit yeah, pay attention. Is that one of your favorites, though, like your, your favorite no, I was just talking about that.
Speaker 1I went on a rant because I was talking about Shocktober me growing up a little older than you guys, but yeah, they used to have Thriller, thriller, thriller, thriller, thriller and the hand would come up and grab the letter. Different time frames but the hand would have six fingers. Yeah, maybe even more possibly.
Speaker 3Yeah, maybe even more possibly.
Speaker 1Yeah, because it was like a and it was so creepy and then for that time and I was little and that was on TV and it was that late at night. Yep, that was scary shit.
Speaker 2Yeah, you know what I mean. Yeah, yeah, you had some funny shit on there, my horror stuff started going, you know.
Favorite Slasher Films
Speaker 1I was like God I had to be. That's early 70s. Yes, it is was cool back then it's you know now imagine fixing that up a little bit and starting that over and having a like getting what was it?
Speaker 3I think uh, peel started the twilight zones again. Twilight zones, yeah, so they're out there. So let's go, let's pick our top, our movies top. Let's pick a category right slashers. What's your favorite all-time slasher?
Speaker 2Okay so.
Speaker 3And we can agree. Yeah, you know, we don't have to be different.
Speaker 1Right, we don't have to be different. Are they saying that? No?
Speaker 2I'm asking, if anybody did you created a. Oh, my daughter. Yeah, yeah, that was an old one. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1Well, I'll tell you.
Speaker 3Nobody. No, my favorite slasher is the oh my goodness, the one with Santa Claus. Oh, silent Night, deadly Night. Yeah, oh, I like that one.
Speaker 2That was a good slasher for me. I like that one. That was one of my favorites. That was one of my favorites. What's yours? I was thinking.
Speaker 3I'm going to say you know it's changed over the years. Used to be Halloween, okay, but now I'm going to have to say Friday the 13th. Really, yeah, it changed. I'm going to say Friday.
Speaker 2He's like the ultimate slasher the way he stalks people Right Comes up from behind you puts your knife right through your neck and he's supernatural too, so you can't kill him, your face doesn't change at all, you just see the blade.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3I mean they're all supernatural Like Michael Myers is supernatural, but he's not like Jason's supernatural.
Speaker 1Right, but they're still good, though, both of them.
Speaker 3Oh yeah, they have their own thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1But I would agree with you. I remember the first time I saw Friday the 13th and that ending was the. Was that the one?
Speaker 3when he jumps out of the water yes, at the end and scares the yeah, because he came up without the mask yeah, yeah, and she wakes up screaming she's dreaming, yeah, yeah, alright, so that was a good one, so you got so you picked.
Speaker 2I'm trying to think of what Santa Claus and the Slayer would be for me, though.
Speaker 3Is it also?
Speaker 2Or it could be.
Speaker 1I'd have to think. You know I saw Psycho, right. Oh, that's a good one though. Psycho was a good movie for its time, and it was the first real slasher yeah, yeah, no, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he was a slasher you just thought he was his mom Now, if you watch the movie now you're like man this movie's disturbing, so I would have to say that's one of them. And then, of course, halloween for me.
Speaker 2Right, okay.
Speaker 1But I do like Friday the 13th too, because he always has the axe.
Speaker 3Right. So out of the three, would you say what's your top pick? Got to pick one Got to pick one.
Speaker 2There knows to be one.
Speaker 1Yeah, oh that. Yeah, that's Highlander, but we're at a different Friday, the 13th.
Psychological Horror Classics
Speaker 2Friday, the 13th okay so Friday the 13th it's Highlander, alright, so okay alright, so now okay, what about psychological horror? Clockwork Orange. Oh, that's a good one.
Speaker 3Yeah, I'm gonna say that's pretty shining oh yeah, shining that is like the most freak here's, johnny I.
Speaker 2That is like the most.
Speaker 3I don't think that you can get more psychological horror, because the way that movie, because you know Kubrick, it's funny. Because Clockwork Arts also, yes, yes. Kubrick he would use psychology in movies to mess with you. There is a scene when the kid is on the tricycle and he's going through, right? Yeah, it's meant to disorient you.
Speaker 2Right, yeah.
Speaker 3I don't know if they had like a fake wall set up, but he goes in like a circle and he's not in the same place.
Speaker 2Right, yes.
Speaker 3Like you're like disoriented.
Speaker 1Which movie is this Shining? Oh yeah, shining was a. That was a fucked up movie.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, with the walls coming out of the, the blood coming out of the elevator, we were all alone just having a conversation with somebody.
Speaker 1Dude listen.
Speaker 3I'd sell my soul for a drink and you think about it. Yeah, misery.
Speaker 2Misery. You know, misery, misery misery.
Speaker 3Okay, I'll go along with that.
Speaker 2That's a good psychological one you know but I don't know, is it psychological? I thought it was more suspense?
Speaker 1no, it was. She messed with his head the whole time. I mean she broke his ankles, yeah, but she loved him because she was the writer of the book, right? And then he wound up changing the book. He made the ending where she dies and she wakes up in the middle of the night and she, yeah, just yeah, destroys him and then she takes off and then comes back, and then she hobbles him right, she takes a log and puts it between his ankles misery, misery.
Speaker 3I never saw the full thing. She takes a sledgehammer alright. I've seen pieces of it, just catching it when it was on. The Buddha is in between your ankles.
Speaker 1She takes a sledge. She says this is going to hurt me more than it's going to hurt you yeah. And she blasts his ankles.
Speaker 2Yes, right, that was right after he tried to get away, because he had tried to get away.
Speaker 1Let me tell you, yeah.
Speaker 2Didn't work. He didn't run. Yeah, he wasn't running anywhere more?
Speaker 1I can think of that right now. They're not popping up, yeah.
Speaker 3Okay, that's a good one though. What would be the next Silence of the Lambs?
Speaker 2Oh, you know what I?
Speaker 3think. I think, it's going to be under Thriller.
Speaker 1That's psychological. You think so Because the movie itself is psychological. Right, you got this guy who is a genius but he likes to eat people. Yeah, you know, just a little flaw.
Speaker 3Yes, that movie kind of fell under a lot of genres because it was also like a mystery movie, because it had a bunch of different things. It was a bad guy. It was a hot movie.
Speaker 1It had a little bit of horror in it you know, remember it had the head in the jar. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, when he found him in the car where she pumps up. She opens up the garage door, she goes underneath Right, she gives the guy the card, she goes. Here's a number in case you need to, if I don't come out of here or something. Yeah, here's a number to call.
Speaker 2Is that the same one? Where that's the very first one Claudice was sitting at? The table and he had to do no, no no. That's the the third one.
Speaker 3This really isn't a genre.
Found Footage & Zombie Films
Speaker 1Okay, what's your? Favorite, not scary horror movie Not scary, so I'll give an example Like what genre my example is going to be Killer Clowns from Outer Space.
Speaker 3Okay Right, I love that movie. But you know you think of movies like Gremlins, like movies that are like not really scary.
Speaker 2So which one is yours?
Speaker 3Killer Clowns.
Speaker 2Killer Clowns. Which one is good? I'm going to say Freddy vs Jason. Oh see, that's not as scary. I would say more than that.
Speaker 3Yeah because I wouldn't even consider that part of the Friday the 13th. Yeah right, it was just a fun time.
Speaker 1I would say most of the animated stuff like from you know what's his name. There's all the claymation type things you know for the spooky you know itself. I don't know what you're talking about. Which movie? Nightmare Before Christmas.
Speaker 2Oh, oh, oh, those kind of things.
Speaker 3Yeah, oh not scary horror, Not scary for me. Cool is how they're watched. That's definitely Halloween themed.
Speaker 1I would say yeah, definitely. Or like horror themed, or like macabre, I guess you would call it Like the Addams Family. Isn't that Jim Henson? What's his name? Who does he does Wednesday.
Speaker 2Yeah, right Tim.
Speaker 1Burton yeah Tim. Burton, yeah, yeah he's really big into all that. You know gothic, real gothy like.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, which is your favorite movie, though no wait.
Speaker 1I'm sorry we got time so let's not go to the very. For which one? Which genre? Just horror flick Just?
Speaker 2your favorite horror flick as a whole.
Speaker 1Well, I like the way he's doing the genre thing, so we can get to that at the end, right?
Speaker 2Okay, so go ahead, all right. All right, and we can save it for the list Slasher, what about?
Speaker 3okay? So what's your favorite classic, and I mean classic.
Speaker 2I mean still black and white.
Speaker 3Ooh, like old, like I'm talking. When I mean classic, I mean before, like the 60s. Or like 60s and back.
Speaker 2That Dracula, the Nosferatu, oh, like Frankenstein and the mummy.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 2Nosferatu Yep. All right the original, not the one that just came out recently. No, you know what?
Speaker 1The original, but the new one. Let me tell you, the new one was pretty good. It was really good. The new one was they did a fantastic job on that.
Speaker 3I'm going to say also, nosferatu was my favorite, yep, but second most, I would say, would be I Like Frankenstein.
Speaker 2Frankenstein.
Speaker 1Abacus Sola meets Frankenstein.
Speaker 3Abacus Sola meets Frankenstein. The werewolf that falls under not not not not.
Speaker 2Yeah, I love Abacus Sola. I forgot about those. That is yo, you fucked me up with that.
Speaker 1Yeah cause I remember watching them shits cause I'm trying to think of all the Halloween stuff I need. Yeah, there's so much in there and I'm sure I know more than what's coming out. What about the people help us out?
Speaker 3please, frankenstein what about the like? I want to say more of them. I call it modern horror, like scream and all those right louise, oh what's your favorite like well, what's his name?
Speaker 2did the hills have eyes? Oh yeah, that's an old one right mean it's still as it would be considered, the modern.
Speaker 3I mean modern, I mean like that, Like I would say anything like in the last two decades, like two and a half, like three, like I would say I'm trying to like you got like the Ring, you got like what's the one, the?
Speaker 1Ring got like. What's the one with the? Um the conjuring those are all like newer. These are like uh, there's a new one of that that's coming out, or it is out already.
Speaker 2Yeah, and you got a big girl, you gotta help me out with that one you remember that other one joke.
Speaker 1That's some crazy. Yeah the new ones.
Speaker 2It was the conjuring. And uh, there was a new amityville horror. Another one, not of amityville horror, I'm sorry, not amityville horror. The other one shits kekabab A man, oh, fungu. I can't remember the name of the other one now. It was another haunted house, but it was the ones with the husband and wife. It was part of the conjuring that whole.
Speaker 3Thing.
Speaker 2Right the husband and wife that they had gone in.
Speaker 1There's a last one now that's happened. Yeah, it's mostly one that they ran into once before.
Speaker 2Yeah, and it's come back. Yeah, and now Annabelle.
Speaker 3Annabelle's a crazy one, yeah, but like modern horror, I would say my favorite modern horror would be the Scream movie, okay, but the thing is I would say they fall under Thriller, but because? Or more of a whodunit movie. It's kind of a little bit too, because you're always, it's always a mystery, who's ghost face Every movie who's ghost face.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, I think, yeah, alien, aliens, oh.
Speaker 2Aliens, that's the new horror.
Speaker 1That's a monster.
Speaker 3I was going to go next with sci-fi horror.
Speaker 2Okay, so let's go into it.
Speaker 3What's your favorite sci-fi?
Speaker 2horror, sci-fi, horror. So you said so. Aliens is your favorite sci-fi.
Speaker 1I would definitely think that one is for sure Alien, even you know most of them.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's the other one with? What's his name?
Speaker 2I like Predator, I like Predator.
Speaker 3I no, that might be a sci-fi thriller, but thriller, horror movies kind of are like very like they run like parallel. You know what I mean, right? So I don't know Thriller.
Speaker 1Yeah, you went all the way out there. There's a lot of sci-. There's been a lot of different ones. Well, you know what do you call it? Twilight Zone was always that way. You know what I mean they had some what other stuff?
Speaker 2Robocop, that's a sci-fi yeah, but it's not a horror flick or a suspense. I think I took it more as an action flick. Yeah, that's more of an action flick for sure, but sci-fi for sure no doubt about it. Yeah, no, freddy was a Jason in space. Where's the guy Morpheus? Where's this?
Speaker 1guy who played Morpheus Shitskabob, what's his name again.
Speaker 2Come on Lawrence Fitzpatrick.
Speaker 1Thank you. He did a horror movie and I can't remember the name of it on a ship where it goes back.
Speaker 3Oh yeah, ghost Ship, was it Ghost?
Speaker 1Ship right yeah.
Speaker 2Is that what it was? I think so that they went on there, the whole proved them and they went to go the name of the ship.
Speaker 3I know what movie you're talking about event horizon. Yes, I think that's the one that movie wasn't in ghost ship.
Speaker 2That movie was event horizon scary.
Speaker 1Yeah, it was super scary because you didn't know, like if they thought they got through it and then something weird happened. I was like just it was pure evil. Whatever this thing was was just simply pure evil that they ran into.
Speaker 3So that was pretty scary stuff so what other other genres are there? I don't, I can't think of any off the top of my head.
Speaker 2Well, I'm laughing because none of us said the, the, the, the the exorcist, the exorcist, the one that really got it going.
Speaker 3When you think about it. Yes, yes, yes, yeah.
Speaker 1Wrong I.
Speaker 2I was so young to see that I was so young to see that I wish they didn't delete this scene, but it sort of laid on.
Speaker 3Yeah, I wish they didn't delete this scene with her going down the stairs, dude, that would have been insane. That would have gotten. People would have been scared.
Speaker 2Yeah, they would have.
Speaker 1Back then people would have people would have been freaking out yeah they would have shit, their pants they would have peed bro.
Speaker 3That's another one that we forgot to mention, like for modern horror movies. Okay, so let's wait one more. Which is your favorite gory movie? So I would definitely say is I can't think of the name. Art the Clown, what's it? Art the Clown, Art the Clown, what's his name?
Speaker 2I don't know that one. It's not Fingering the Bell.
Speaker 1For what Art the Clown oh?
Speaker 2you're talking about? Yeah, I can't no, it's not. It not it.
Speaker 3No, no, no no, we didn't mention that either.

Speaker 3oh my god, this is bad. Anybody you gonna help us out?
Speaker 2Art the Clown Supernatural Killer. Clown Terrifier, Terrifier.
Speaker 3Yeah, yes, all right, yeah, so yeah. Terrifier, I would say, is my. That movie is the goriest movie I've ever seen. I can't even say on our podcast how bad it was.
Speaker 1I can't say what I thought it could, but it would be horrible. No, I'm not saying. That's really bad, yeah, it's extreme.
Speaker 2Yeah, you know what I'm talking about Psychological Saw Saw yes, Saw is psychological absolutely. That's right. Saw is a good psychological one.
Speaker 3Yeah, that's true, that's another one, yeah, so okay. So let's pick our favorite of all time horror.
Speaker 2My favorite of all time, as crazy as it sounds, is the first Freddy.
Speaker 3The first Freddy.
Speaker 2Yeah, I was just digging the first.
Speaker 3Freddy, I got a really unique one, and I don't know why I never got it on DVD either, only because it used to creep me out when I was a kid, because I used to air it on HBO all the time is the Gate.
Speaker 2Ooh, that's a throwback one.
Speaker 3It was like my first real horror movie as a kid and it wasn't because I was no, that was Freddy. Stephen Dorff was in it.
Speaker 2Yeah, stephen Dorff was in that one. He was the kid in that movie.
Speaker 3Yeah, and that was where there's like a hole in the ground and I forget how it opens.
Speaker 2Yeah, I don't know how it opens.
Speaker 3They don't use animation for the demons and they were so creepy. But one of the creepiest scenes is I think the parents were away on vacation or something like that, like that, and like they knock on the door, but it's really the demons in disguise and like it picks them up, goes yeah and he just squeezes the dad's face and just his white juice comes out yeah so creepy.
Speaker 3Yeah, that was like one of the most creepiest scenes I and I saw them. That was like again of the most creepiest scenes and I saw that. That was like, again, my parents didn't let. I was very like shielded when it came to like horror movies but, that movie happened to come on HBO my parents had HBO at the time and that was my first horror movie ever and I used to just give me nightmares right with the, you burn back.
Speaker 2That's freaking funny. Well, you're saying that. And the gate you ever see 976 Evil Ready? No yeah, 976 Evil, scream, scream. That's what Tom said before. Scream was a good one, that was a good one. 976 Evil was wild bro. That one was nasty.
Speaker 3And what's that new one? That's the UHF one. What?
Speaker 2did you pick for horror movie? My favorite one is Freddy the first, Freddy Okay. Nightmare on Elm Street. Yeah, the original.
Speaker 1Probably Halloween. Still, yeah, okay, because that was a good one, that was a scary one. Yeah, the OG the first one. The first one Friday the 13th is probably there as well, because they both kind of were in the same around the same time, because that's when I grew up and that's what I saw. Those movies, yeah, they were, and we always watch it like every year when it came on, so it was like already a ritual that you watched? It on tv and you would yeah even now.
Speaker 2You see it like oh right, yeah, yeah, you know you sit and watch it. Yeah, no doubt, definitely. Okay, what category does do the ones that were like a documentary looking hi, like you know what I mean. Like what would they?
Speaker 3have to do. Oh, you mean, oh wait, you mean like found footage right, yeah, like right Found footage, yeah, oh you know I never really got big into the found footage horror movie, but Because what?
Speaker 2was the one in the woods, you know which? Oh, blair Witch, blair Witch.
Speaker 2That's the one that's what you say, like Black Witch, listen. So I'm gonna tell you funny. Sorry to cut you off, here's the funny horror effect. So I was fresh from down south, so I went from Brooklyn to Florida and then I moved up state Hudson Valley. I'm in there, I'm chilling. We go to the movies to go see it. We go to the movie theater that's across the street from a fucking cemetery. So now I'm scared because I'm hearing things that I've never heard before outside of a door. You know, I'm outside the window. I'm hearing like shit is crunching outside and leaves and I'm like, oh, there's people outside, but I don't see anybody. What's going on? So I'm panicking. I come see this movie. Why? That movie scared the shit out of me, bro. That was one of the scariest movies for me Because it was made to seem like Because story, because what they did, so they lie the actual story.
Speaker 2So you feel like you're watching, like something. That is because they had a whole bunch of like quote-unquote documentaries on, like the history channel and and nat geo and all that other stuff. So I'm like yo, was that like a real legend, you know? Like I mean, I know that it wasn't real, but just that. And then, like I said, here I am, I'm like I grab my kids, I'm sitting in the cut, like I'm like yo, who's outside? I don't see nobody outside. What is this shit? Yeah, man, that one kind of scared me, but you know I never got big into the found footage ones.
Speaker 3I mean I liked Billy, they were good.
Speaker 1I didn't like the whole moving camera thing because it made me sick Cloverfield yeah. That was good.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2Cloverfield was a good one. Oh, Amityville Horror. Oh, there you go.
Speaker 3Hey, tonya, tonya hey.
Speaker 2Yeah, you called her a witch.
Speaker 3She said Blair Witch. Oh, she said Blair Witch.
Speaker 2Yeah, blair, witch Blair.
Speaker 3Witch.
Speaker 2That's funny. Yeah, that is funny. Yeah, that was one of those movies, bro. That was one of them Cloverfield. Yeah, you're right. Cloverfield was good, that was wild.
Speaker 1It was kind of like a what was the second one with John Goodman, where the girl he had her in his place and he was like the guy that had a survival thing and Wasn't that with Cloverfield? It was part of the I think it was part of the story, I believe do you remember what that movie was, was it?
Speaker 1Cloverfield 2? I don't know, I thought that was Cloverfield no, that one where she and then she escapes to get out yeah, yeah, no, no, he's like all about the world is ending. So then, what was Cloverfield?
Speaker 3I thought that was Cloverfield the Cloverfield was with the big monster, wasn't?
Speaker 2oh, why it?
Speaker 1raw, but this is supposed to take place while that's happening.
Speaker 3Got you and then you got the alien invasions movies like war of the worlds war of the worlds.
Speaker 2Yeah, they had like 10 freaking what you call it. That one remakes of that. There's a new one now, the one with.
Speaker 1I think the one they did with Tom Cruise was probably my best version of it, the way they did it, because I thought it was. It was so realistic and it made sense kind of how they did it and how they and how fearful they had to be from these things sucking you up, yeah, taking all the blood out of you and spraying it everywhere, yeah, yeah, like a fertilizer of some sort.
Speaker 2It's sick there was a movie called Skyline and it was that the aliens came down and when you would look up at it you were caught in almost like a moth to the flame. And you would look up at the light and the whole face, or like the veins, would kind of pop out and then it would suck you up in there and it was taking your brain out of your body and putting it to make it one of their minions. And then you will have to follow that movie called skyline.
Speaker 2Yeah, wow, I don't remember.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Yeah Right, that one was wild man, that one was wild, and there's a few of them that when you, I don't remember the names of all of them.
Speaker 3I think you said Paranormal Activity. All of those were great.
Speaker 2That's a found footage one. Yes, that was the other day yeah. The fourth kind is another one that was a UFO one. Oh yeah, that one was like so the old school was-, that was-.
Speaker 1That movie was scary. Really that was a scary sci-fi movie.
Speaker 2Yeah, it was scary Because they had actual footage in that. Yeah, were they put side by side.
Speaker 3No, no, no, no. I thought you were talking about strange encounters of a Close encounters, close the third kind and then they did one.
Speaker 1The fourth kind is what it's called, just the fourth kind, and it's about how these people are like aliens are taking a load and they put this the movie footage and the live and the actual footage the video and you see this person just levitating in it right there. Yeah, like this crazy stuff, it's like oh my god.
Speaker 2they were showing that the actual footage was police dash cam and one of them where the police were cop-sitting.
Speaker 1Somebody was pulling out of the house, yeah.
Speaker 2The cop was sitting here and he's like what the hell is that? And he goes up, he steps out the car, he looks up and the actual cam was somebody was coming out of the house, right, because something came over the top. It took him. And then you hear him talking, but you to call in and the video is not working.
Speaker 3It was a good movie. They did a good job on that, do you know? It's another good movie, don't forget.
Speaker 2Oh, Poltergeist.
Speaker 1Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 2Walter.
Speaker 1States was another one.
Speaker 2Walter. States Jesus man yeah, but Poltergeist was a real creepy movie.
Speaker 1Yeah, poltergeist, especially that lady. Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3Don't go to the lobby or but the third one was really weird.
Speaker 2The one that was in the apartment In the apartment building, yeah, in the tower. This house is clean.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, yeah, that old man, I always think Ace Ventura, that's another horror movie that I saw when I was little was the Poltergeist.
Speaker 3Yeah, the one scene in the Poltergeist that used to freak me the fuck out was the mezcal. I don't know the one he's drinking, the mezcal or tequila.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, he swallows the worm and vomits out. Oh yeah, yeah, they do that.
Speaker 1The big fucking worm that possesses him somehow.
Speaker 3Yeah, no, like he vomits out it, but it's a giant worm.
Speaker 2It's a giant worm, so he's like ah, and as he's throwing up, it's the worm that he just swallowed, but it just, yeah, but it doesn't happen until later, though. Right yeah, it doesn't happen until later, because he's like almost possessed for a little while.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, that's right, and he finally gets it out of him with the braces all over the place. My god, yeah, they've been some good ones that's good it's like psychological horror like that, yeah, yeah, because like they're trying to show you that like a poltergeist is like way worse than haunting yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2That's what that was trying to show like everybody's like oh, haunted house like well, we're gonna show you a poltergeist oh yeah, but that's what they did with, I don't know, hauntings was the other ones, yeah, but the Amityville Horror is the same thing. It's like that too.
Speaker 1And also Haunting at the same time. Right, yeah, you got the grease, you got the. You know the.
Speaker 3Tanya's helping us out again. Uh-oh, calm Tanya, it's good. What is the scariest movie of all time?
Speaker 2Oh, it depends time? Oh, it depends, did she say it no, no, because it'll be for us, because it's the scariest movie the whole time. Well, we gotta think too, though, man, because you know what it's what we would find scary, right. So I would have to say oh man, scariest of all.
Speaker 1I got a few of them, but every time, no matter how many times I see it it's, I always get the same feelings. I would have to see the shining. Yeah, yeah, it would be there, see that doesn't scare me.
Speaker 2In the same feelings I'd have to see the shining. Yeah, yeah, maybe there in the top five at least.
Speaker 3Yeah, that was the movie still to this day that creeped me out yeah, right I think, I think I'm gonna have to agree because, like, I'm not going back and watch, just gonna bash your fucking brains in and bash them right the fuck in the way he says it right the fuck in that's freaking hilarious.
Speaker 2That's going to be getting bleaked out, but anyway yeah it's all right.
Speaker 3Yep, oh great stuff.
Speaker 2That's funny, no but. But that didn't scare me, man, Like it didn't even like it wasn't even, like it's the psychological, it's just the whole idea.
Speaker 1And then he falls and the front's freezing and the kid tricks him, you know, smots him, walks backwards in his footsteps, makes him lose it and he's stuck. He freezes up.
Speaker 2Man, I'm going to say for me, man, my biggest one, I think, because maybe for me what I guess was more a reality is Clockwork Orange man.
Speaker 1That one was scary too.
Speaker 2Like that one for me like that was the one that was like holy shit, like lock the doors.
Speaker 1You know what I mean. That was different for me because that was more like this guy was assaulting people, like he was breaking into their house and doing some freaky shit yeah.
Speaker 2But I think that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1I think for me that's why that person they had his eye yeah, yeah, they were putting drops his eyes and they had all this crazy shit on the screen. They're trying to reprogram him. You know he can't close his eyes, he cannot watch. He's got to watch this thing.
Speaker 3How funny is it that he would end up playing loomis in the?
Speaker 2remake yeah, yeah, rob zombie's remake, yeah, yeah oh yeah, yeah, he did.
Speaker 3He's done a lot of stuff in more recent years.
Speaker 1I mean the guy just a great actor I mean the guy, the actor.
Speaker 2McDowell, roddy McDowell, not Roddy. Mcdowell not Roddy. Yeah, something like that, yeah, but I'm gonna tell you bro, yeah, we were saying Rob Zombie, all the remakes that he's done have been super but he, we still got a little bit. But Rob Zombie, he really took a lot of those old movies and he just kicked them up and even his original stuff I yeah I mean, I didn't like the third one because they they, so they they.
Speaker 3Basically they're three movies with different titles. So the first one is house of a thousand corpse, right, that was. The second was devil's rejects. That was, that was favorite, he did one more continuation of that, and yeah, where they didn't die yeah they kind of brought him back to life and that was kind of weird.
Speaker 2I didn't like it but the Devil's Rejects.
Speaker 3That's my favorite Rob Zombie movie that is the best one, and it's so quotable too, where we're like Chinese. Japanese you know, or he's like Tootie Tootie, tootie Tootie.
Speaker 1Tootie dude Rudy that guy those movies were scary, bob Darby. You know why? Because what does he say? I'm Billy Wonka and this is my chocolate factory. There's so many post-it movies. What are we saying?
Speaker 2Chainsaw Massacre yeah, bro, I forgot about that, that was some scary shit.
Speaker 1Yeah, that was wild. Even that bootleg, the very first movie, the very first one that I grew up watching, the very first one that I grew up watching, the very first one that will even that movie, even though it was it was like a b movie because it was right, but it was still scary. Yeah, as all hell to watch this movie, you know, and that would be one of the classics you get. But as far as really hard, gory stuff, for me it's evil, dead, oh evil dead is super gory and it's very haunt.
Speaker 1These, these things are evil and they want to hurt you.
Speaker 2Yeah, I like Evil Dead.
Speaker 1Evil Dead, yes, and even the last one they did, the last one they just had out on Evil Dead was really good, but I also like how it does have a little bit of humor spliced in.
Speaker 3You know what I mean. Yeah, yeah, the theme is always have some smart ass, stupid shit. Are you talking about the original, you know?
Speaker 1well, I'm talking about the original, but I'm talking about everything from it. Okay, all the sequels and stuff like that, the last one though, was with the apartment building the apartment building.
Speaker 2That one they did a great job on. I wish you would've come with that one.
Speaker 1That one was insane that movie was sick because, yeah, you know, they say in the words and he's talking. Oh my God.
Speaker 2Don't do it to me at all, Because with the other one where Ash came in, you know he had the chainsaw hand.
Speaker 1Well, yeah, because he had a chopper's handle Like those were.
Speaker 2Like you know, that's like cult classic now, right, you know what I mean. So those are official, I like those, oh man yeah. I'm digging those man, I love it. I love it. I mean, again, it depends on what it is that you find scary. You know what I'm saying. Like again, going back to the Conjuring, like that entire scene, that's scary, annabelle.
Speaker 1That's scary right, All that shit.
Speaker 2Yeah, like all of those man, like you know that somebody's possessed. Those are, like you know what I mean. It is like, holy shit, that's been Annabelle bro. Wait, what's the name of the other one with the other robot?
Speaker 1Oh, the new one that just came out the one with the girl. Yeah, there's a second one they made too.
Speaker 2Right, yeah, I can't remember the name of that chick.
Speaker 3And don't forget also we didn't talk about Child's Play. Oh, chucky bro, and a series.
Speaker 2I loved the series.
Speaker 1Yeah, ch year. Yeah, chucky was the was sick. The series was yeah, yeah, I mean, yeah, totally demented man a doll.
Speaker 3Yeah, he has another doll, but like the series, started getting a little crazy, like now he's like in the white house when it's like.
Speaker 2It's like you know it's a fictitious president, but you got like a president's.
Speaker 3like kid is the Chucky doll and he's killing people yeah that was a little bit extra. It was a little out there, but you know the TV show did the series was whack but the movie was pretty cool.
Speaker 1The first one was pretty crazy.
Speaker 2The funny one out of all of them was the Bride of Chucky. And then, when Chucky had a kid, that's what I'm saying Really.
Speaker 1You lost me now on this. Actually, you know what?
Speaker 3I actually I feel like I need to take back what's my favorite not scary, scary movie Beetlejuice, beetlejuice not scary, of course.
Speaker 1Well, that goes with.
Speaker 2Wednesday too, even though it's not a movie. But Wednesday is Killer Clowns. Yeah, oh, actually you did say Killer Clowns yeah right Wednesday is involved in that too.
Speaker 1I love it pretty cool we forgot the one that's the scariest what the one of the dead oh, dawn of the dawn of the dead eating zombies the dawn of the dead, day of the dead even night of the living day original one, where the guy goes out the window and they shoot him.
Speaker 2Yeah, the black and white one.
Speaker 3Yep, yeah, man oh don't, oh, we, oh, we're going to zombie movies. We haven't even talked about zombie.
Speaker 1There are so many different zombie movies.
Speaker 3Yeah, I mean, first of all, you got like your original night of living dead. My favorite, I would say, out of all the zombie series would be it's not the walking dead, believe or not, I like the great series, don't get me wrong kind of at the end it kind of tailed off a little bit. I think my favorite is return of the living dead mine too.
Speaker 1Yes, what was it?
Speaker 3yeah what was the name of the uh, of the, the, the chemical company that they had? Oh? Dude darrow chemical company or something like that.
Speaker 2It was yeah, but like.
Speaker 3The thing about them is that they were intelligent zombies. They talked, yeah, and they knew how to bait people.
Speaker 2Yeah, come on so when the ambulance showed up or whatever, or when the cops showed up.
Speaker 3It was like send a cop.
Speaker 2Yeah, oh, I saw that that's great, tie one up. You think that's perfect, they tie one up.
Speaker 1They tie one up, they tie one up, they tie one up Uh-huh, yeah, yeah, yeah, they even like tie one up they like get one and tie it up in the morgue.
Speaker 3And they're like why are you eating everyone's? Because they eat brains. Right, these zombies only eat brains. They don't eat anything else, because she's like, because it makes the pain go away, the pain of being dead yeah like I was, like that's it gives lore to it.
Speaker 1I kind of like that, like makes it go away.
Speaker 3That's why yeah like oh, it makes the pain go away.
Speaker 1So they just what's the one zombie movie I can't remember. It was the guy who always did the pathmark commercials and they were in this like warehouse or something and they moved one of the containers and it broke open and this gas came out and it turned into.
Speaker 3That's the one. It wasn't. At Bathmark they were in a. They were in like a medical supply.
Speaker 2Bathmark commercials yeah oh that guy, oh the old guy yeah oh, okay, if I'm not mistaken, it was the same
Speaker 1guy yeah, so that's. But that movie always stood out in my head because that thing would pop open and then they would turn into the zombie.
Speaker 3But that whole movie has so much lore to it. I love it because so like what happened was, is they killed the zombie or whatever? And oh no, the gas. First the gas came out. But then they, the first one of the cadavers, came alive, because it was a medical supply place and he's like oh, he's running and you know they cut him and the parts are still moving. So in this zombie lore, they still move.
Speaker 1It's like Evil Dead, yeah right.
Speaker 3But also they put him in the incinerator and it formed a cloud, and then the acid rain came down, and then it remade all the buried ones.
Speaker 2That's what.
Speaker 1I like about the movie.
Speaker 2They give a whole lore Rihanna made all the buried ones.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2That's what I like about the movie. They give a whole lore.
Speaker 3Very cool Like because in the original Night of the Living Dead, oh, oh, oh, Tanya's sharing the heck out of our Tanya for sharing all of life. She that's. The whole thing is that that movie gave so much lore?
Speaker 1because, like the, the survival just happened and everybody's freaking out and you know, and people got to find shelter and whatever they're doing. And then you know, but I love the whole ending of the movie. You know it sucks, but it's typical of something that would happen. You know, the guy goes hey, I'm over here, and boom, they shoot him and he's dead. And he survived the whole thing. But Return of the.
Speaker 2Living Dead is supposed to be like an unofficial sequel to that's where the first zombie that's in the container right and there's a number that says call this number.
Speaker 3That's why I think at the end of return of living dead, they call the number and the military goes okay and they just shoot a missile at the fucking yeah, that was it, that's right, I forgot about that but then at the end you see rain coming down right, it starts all over again and shit yeah. They made it worse.
Speaker 2They made it worse.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's freaking hilarious man Don't kill zombies. There were a lot of them.
Speaker 2World War Z was the upgrade to any of those.
Speaker 1Oh, that was a great one. I loved it. I loved the whole concept. Yeah, because now you had the zombies he had to actually put a disease into himself in order for him to be safe, because then that zombie knew whether or not you were sick or you were not. And then it would only go after a healthy body, yep, which is so. That's a great idea when you think about it. Yeah, that was Brooke's son, by the way, did that?
Speaker 2Oh, no shit.
Speaker 3Didn't? I know that, and that's another thing too is that they did. They did like these zombie type movies that weren't zombie movies, like 28 days later, zombies. And then what was the other one with what's his name, will smith? What was the movie with will smith? I am legend. I am legend. They weren't zombies, right, they?
Speaker 1were like, like vampires, almost well, they were zombies.
Speaker 2But they were, but they weren't, but they evolved, yeah, oh that's like you know.
Speaker 1I'm saying yeah, so, like they were, but they were more like yeah, they were zombies, but they were but they weren't, but they evolved. Yeah, oh, that's right, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, so like they were just like kind of mindless, yeah, they were more like vampires because they could only come out at night anyway.
Speaker 3You never saw them in the daytime? Yeah, that too. And of course you have Resident Evil. Which Resident Evil? So the games were better.
Speaker 2Yeah, all right, the games were fucking scary bro. Oh my God, you could talk about that.
Speaker 1I mean, that's a yeah, that's a brutal game, man, and the smartest thing they did about.
Speaker 3I know we're talking about video game, but we could sidebar a little bit you know what I mean, as we always do.
Speaker 1But the thing that they Do, what we want.
Speaker 2That's right you know what.
Speaker 3I'm saying but no, but like the thing that they were so smart at the time, because at that time was the games were still disc based and they didn't have hard drives, so you had to have that fucking loading screen where the door would, so they managed to do it. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2Like oh my God, is this loading what you doing, what?
Speaker 1you doing? Yeah, oh, remember talking about crazy games that are gory. Doom, yeah, doom was kind of awesome.
Speaker 2Doom was a crazy game and that's a zombie technique.
Speaker 3Well, zombies had demons, right yeah.
Speaker 1You go around shooting these things, you get these crazy weapons, like if you get so many, and then you get an arsenal and you got these crazy weapons and you're taking these things out, man, and you know what's cool?
Speaker 3So those were zombies and demons coming up from hell. Then they did the sequel quake, which is right, which was really just a sequel to doom where they were in hell.
Speaker 3Oh yeah, really yeah and the cool part is the first quake. This is such a cool easter egg that they did the very first quake. Again. It was cd-rom based the game. Yeah, what they did was the soundtrack was written by trent resner for the original right from nine inch nails for the original quake. But if you had quake loaded onto your computer you didn't need the disc drive. The disc just had the music on it, right, if you threw on a downward spiral from nine inch nails it worked like the beginning of one of the songs used to be the ending as your score was loading up and it sounds like something you'd hear right like in a.
Speaker 3It was like everything was just like perfect when, when you get the bfg which is bfg 9000, I think what the name was, which stands for big fucking gun.
Speaker 2Yes, video games, but the horrors, but the games, make movies too like what about the? Yeah, what's the series now?
Speaker 1that they have out the, the horror, the, uh, zombie movie too. Like, what about the? What's the series now that they have out the horror, the zombie movie that's out? Now, come on, what's the one that they have, the new one that's been going out? Oh man, I gotta look it up. I can't remember the name of that. Another zombie movie. Yeah, because Justin was here talking about. Justin, sat with us and talked about it and I can't remember Dungeons and. Dragons no Not that zombie movie, but it was also a zombie type thing.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 1The girl had to do with it. She was not infected. He was protecting the girl. Yeah, remember it had to do with the shrooms, wasn't that 20?
Speaker 3Oh no, oh, my God. I'm trying to find it. The Last of Us to do with the, with the shrooms, wasn't that 28? Oh no, oh, oh, my god.
Speaker 1I'm trying to find the last of us, the last of us, thank you. Oh yeah, I apologize everyone.
Speaker 2Yeah, you messed me up yeah, I wasn't even thinking that as like, that's a hard movie, that's hard too. I mean, that is no joke.
Speaker 1Another video based thing for sure. Yeah, that was good stuff. That series is good, I hope. I think they're coming out with another, another season, I think.
Speaker 2I don't know.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's supposed to, but it'd be nice if I could see that. That'd be cool. It was good.
Speaker 2But yeah, there's a lot of good horror stuff. Man, and you know, I think I never realized how much I enjoyed the holiday. Yeah, you know, and it's not even so much like just doing the dress up I never really ever dress up and such. Yeah, doing that stuff, I just like the movies, I like the yeah, you know what?
Speaker 1would you consider Godzilla and King Kong horror or Halloween based?
Speaker 2huh, I don't know. I don't know, you don't yeah, I would say so, I would say so yeah.
Speaker 1I guess in a way because it's scary. It's scary right, and they're monsters and they're monsters.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, I would say they're large monsters.
Speaker 2But, you know what?
