Welcome back. Second episode. Thick Nick Andrew. We're talking about scary shit today. That's right, it's a horror movie episode, and we are talking about the movies that scared us as kids. Which, if you listened to last week's episode, which is also the first episode, you knew that or would know that I was terrified of everything as a kid. So these these uh these should not come as any surprise. Quick updates before we get started. Number one, we're recording this on World Goth Day, so happy World Goth Day. And two, the show I was thinking of with Leonard Nimoy was in search of. Just wanted to correct myself and put that in there. Fantastic show. It's great. Leonard Nimoy narrates it. Super fun. Anyway, Andrew, what have you got going on?
SPEAKER_05Whole lot of nothing. I'm just gonna give a fair warning up front. I am a little under the weather today, so if I sound a little off, everyone knows why.
SPEAKER_01We will fix it in post. Make me sound beautiful. We will Ed Wood this shit.
SPEAKER_05So all right, so we are a record list for you today, sir.
SPEAKER_01That's what I want to hear. I want to hear what movie scared you.
SPEAKER_05So as a kid, and I can't remember when I would have seen this movie. Uh the movie came out in 1993. I only remember one scene from it, and I haven't seen it since. Uh, and I was reminded of it because I actually had that scene show up on Instagram.
SPEAKER_00Okay.
SPEAKER_05While I was scrolling Instagram reels, and I was like, oh, I'm having flashbacks. This is a problem. And that movie was 1993's Fire in the Sky. Oh shit. Okay. Yeah. That movie scares me now. Yeah. That the abduction scene is awful. It incredibly well done for its time. But holy hell is it hard to watch.
SPEAKER_01Dude, yeah, that is an excellent choice. Super, super underrated movie. I don't I people don't really talk about that movie a lot unless it's like in a top 10 alien movie list. But so what what about that scene specifically? Because the whole movie is is quite terrifying, but what about that specific scene stuck with little Andrew?
SPEAKER_05So I mean it's the point where he's uh he's on the table inside the ship, and he's covered in whatever the like sticky goo stuff is that's holding him down, and they they cover him up completely with it, and then they use a knife to cut open a spot around his eye, and then they cut open his mouth, and they basically they they probe him and he's all he can do is scream, but they probe him in the uh in the eye. Yeah. Like dead space style.
SPEAKER_01That dude, that was exactly what I was about to say. I was like, that's given fucking dead space, man.
SPEAKER_05There's it's it's the the emotion behind the scene, there's there's no remorse. It it almost feels coming from the alien side of things, apathetic, similar to what you would see maybe in some kind of, you know, in some kind of secret lab where they're working on animals or something and they're testing on this. They don't really seem to care because they're doing those kinds of things. And they're just basically doing whatever they want. This is our world now, you're living in it. And that's that's scary as hell.
SPEAKER_01Absolutely it is. No, that's that is fucking terrifying. That that movie is still holds up. If you haven't seen it, I will put um the link where it can be streamed if it's streamable. If not, I'll put a link for where you can purchase it physically. If not, you can probably find it at your local library. Just check it out. It's it's a fantastic watch. Andrew, that was a such a good I mean, I wouldn't I can't even really say that that's a good good thing because of how fucking terrifying it is. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05And also just throw this out there: do not confuse it with 1973's A Fire in the Sky, which is a completely different movie about a uh comet on its way towards the Earth.
SPEAKER_01See, and that that would not make for a good family video night if you swap those two.
SPEAKER_05A little bit. It's just one letter. One letter, and everybody's having a bad time.
SPEAKER_01For real. So what uh what is the second what's the second movie that got you fucked up?
SPEAKER_05So I made a reference to this before. I've made multiple references to this before. Uh this movie came out in 2002, and I was sick when I walked into a very infamous scene in this movie, and again, I've got a theme with what I'm scared of, and that was 2002's science.
SPEAKER_04Yep.
SPEAKER_05Now, this movie I have actually watched all the way through. It's a great movie. Um I did enjoy the movie, but as a kid, I want to say I was 12, 13 at the time, and I was I was sick when I walked into the room and they were watching it. And it's right at that scene where they're where they're filming the birthday party on the camera, they look out the sliding glass window and the alien walks by, and I went, mm-mm, nope. Nope. I'm not nope. No, thank you.
SPEAKER_01So so is it is it just aliens that freak you out, or is it like what so what what about those both are the thing? I mean, I mean, absolutely, that scene in signs is is notorious. Like that is it's a fantastic movie. It is a fantastic scene, so I and I completely get that, but what specifically are are these two things beside I mean, is it the alien?
SPEAKER_05Like honestly, I don't know how to describe it. I mean, maybe it was time and place thing. Um when I was younger, anything really alien related freaked me out. Not anymore. Like alien stuff is mostly fine now, but there are some things where I'm like, I get a little skeezed out, and it's like, eh, I don't really want to watch that. I don't want to deal with that. No, thank you. I don't know what it is about the whole aliens thing that has always kind of sent a chill down my spine. I wish I had a better answer. I honestly don't know. I know with fire in the sky, just watching that scene is horrifying. Like that's enough to that you you staying awake, mm-mm, no sleep in the night. But with signs, it was just that moment of of him walking past the hedge through the alleyway, and that was it. And I was like, you know, what do I do? You know? It maybe it was something in my head at the time was like, oh, that's that's coming to eat you. You're done for. That that's coming to get you. I don't know. I've always had a vivid imagination when it comes to those things, and perhaps that's what it was. I honestly couldn't tell you. Interesting.
SPEAKER_01No, that's that's uh I get that. I get that. That's um it's it's a weird thing, man. You know, like the things that that scare us are some of it's logical, some of it is illogical. And and that's that's one of the things that I love about movies, whether whether it's it's in the horror genre or not, uh you can have a movie that is horrifying to you and not have a slasher or an alien or anything like that. Um But with what you what you are experiencing is is just a very relatable thing. I mean, I get it. I've seen both those movies, I saw both those movies very young, and I definitely should not have. Um and Jesus. I mean, that signs still freaks me out. Like Fire in the Sky is I mean, the movie is is is is fucky, like, but Science kind of eases into these reveals and things like that. It's almost like it's a drama with that just also it has aliens in it, whereas Fire in the Sky is just a horror movie with aliens, if that makes sense.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, absolutely does.
SPEAKER_01Right on. Hell yeah. Both those fantastic I I love signs. I still love signs, I think it still holds up. The CGI doesn't bother me.
SPEAKER_05Well, now that we've heard my side of things, I'm interested to see what you brought to the table. What scared you as a child?
SPEAKER_01So, other than everything, uh there's there's two movies specifically that that fucked me up so bad, and they are both as as far as I can tell, like direct to TV or direct to video sequels, um, and both aired on the sci-fi channel. Um, which again, sci-fi channel fucking my childhood up. But so the the first movie, um uh, and and I'm almost a thousand percent sure that this is the one that I saw first, that is what created my like morbid fascination with scary movies and specifically like monster movies, and that is Pumpkin Head 2 Bloodwings, not not Pumpkin Head, but Pumpkin Head 2 because why not? So honestly, like the the Pumpkin Head monster design is fucking amazing, it's one of the coolest monster designs ever. Uh, and and it's it's scary, absolutely. But for me in Pumpkin Head 2, it wasn't even the mon uh the monster scared me, but of course it's supposed to. The the movie itself is set up that they're the the beginning of the movie, this is like the first five minutes. There's a kid named Tommy who is like disfigured or disabled, or maybe the child of pumpkin head. I I'm not really sure, I don't think it ever explains it. And he's killed by a bunch of asshole greasers, because this is set in like the 50s, and they beat him up, stab him, and then push him down a well. And I'm a child watching this, like I am 10, 9, 10, 11 years old, somewhere in there, and I cannot believe that I'm watching this. And so the whole time, because of course I didn't turn it off, I kept watching it the whole time. The monsters going and and killing all these people, and I'm like, good, good, you guys were assholes. And of course, as an adult, I finally saw the first pumpkin head, and I'm like, oh, that makes sense. Like, that's that's the whole theme of this series. Uh, but it it's is the movie good? Not really. Not I mean, if you want to watch like like a not a B movie, but like a B plus movie, you know, the the creature effects are awesome. Um, I think the entire movie is all practical. So I mean that's that's cool, but like the story does not hold up, and that's that's fine. But it, you know, it's just super impressionable as a kid. And and again, it's on sci-fi channel, right? Like, I would have thought that as a kid, I thought it would have been a little safe to be able to watch something on a channel where things are going to be edited. Not, you know, 10-year-old brain not fully formed, doesn't know, but it is what it is.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, I feel that. The sci-fi channel has some bangers, they've got some good stuff out there. Some of it is I would argue, some of the worst things you'll ever see, but it's still man, this is fun. I'm enjoying this, you know. Two o'clock in the morning, you know, you're up, you can't sleep, and you're like, oh, what's on sci-fi? Bet I'm already not sleeping, we're already here. Let's go.
SPEAKER_01You're gonna watch a Girls Gone Wild commercial, and then you're gonna watch Mansquito, and it's gonna be a time. I just don't know if it's gonna be a good one.
SPEAKER_05That's fair. That's fair, that's fair. Then I can say that I haven't seen that movie either. I haven't, I don't believe I've seen either of the pumpkin head movies.
SPEAKER_01The look, second one, I cannot recommend it. It's not good. Like it's it's just not. Um, but the first one, absolutely. I would consider it a classic at this point. All practical effects. Again, uh, Lance Henrickson is the main character. Story is fantastic. Um, and it's just a it's a it's a good monster movie. The second one, it's just kind of I don't know. I may, I may rewatch it just because I I I skip so when I was a kid and I first saw this movie, as I got older, I couldn't remember what movie it was. So for some reason, my brain was like, oh, that was Children of the Corn. And so for the next eight years, I was like, Oh, yeah, that movie absolutely fucking terrified me. So I sat down and watched it again, and I was like, What the fuck? I've never seen this movie before in my life. What the hell is this? Loved it. Children of the corn is great. I in fact, I like the first three. They're the again, two and three direct TV sequels. Loved them. And I saw it on sci-fi channel, but there you go. I had, but I I just I confused the movies, I guess. Trauma response, I don't know. But the the second movie now this one had a it it it it it fucked me up badly, and it was just so and again direct to TV sequel is like 2003, I want to say I'm sitting at my grandparents' house. It's eight or nine o'clock, and I'm watching sci-fi channel, and a movie comes on, and there's two kids camping in their backyard. I don't know if they're brothers or friends or whatever. Their mom comes out and it's like the fake scare, you know, and she goes back in, they hear a noise, they think it's their mom, and they see it's not. It's a zombie that is really tall with long limbs and no jaw, tongue hanging out, just kind of flopping around. They run inside scared, as you do, and the zombie kills their mom. And that fucked me up. Now, the movie, of course, is Beyond Reanimator, and there is probably a good portion of the audience that's going, what the fuck are you talking about? There is a direct-to-tv sequel, direct-to-tape sequel of Bride of Reanimator called Beyond Reanimator, came out in like 2003, um, 2002, somewhere around there. Sci-fi channel, of course. And it just the the gore and the violence fucked me up, man. I mean, and I'm not I'm not squeamish by any means, unless it's like real people that I'm like, no, man, I'm good. I'm good. But you know, and I s and I haven't re-watched it. I have no intentions of re-watching it. Wow. Dude, I'm saying, man. It's it's it was rough. And I and I just I remember getting up and and turning the TV off. I had no idea what movie it was until almost 20 years after the fact. And I saw a clip and I was like, Leonardo DiCaprio meme, you know, pointing at the TV. That's it. That's it right there. That fucked me up. That is what started me down this path, that and Pumpkin Head 2. So thanks, sci-fi channel. And ironically enough, ironically enough, there's a couple couple movies that I started thinking of um while I was thinking about what movies I wanted to talk about. And Jeepers Creepers, Return of the Living Dead, part three, both also were scary to me. Return of the Living Dead, Part 3, not so much scary as it is incredibly like sad to me, especially as a child, because there's some very heavy themes to deal with that in that movie. And I love that movie. That is one movie that I watch now and I highly recommend. But both Return of the Living Dead 3 and Beyond Reanimator are Brian Yusna movies. So this dude single-handedly used to give me nightmares and has sent me down this path of horror love. So here we are. Thank you, Brian, for scaring the shit out of me, turning me into this thing.
SPEAKER_05I think what you meant to say was shaping me into the man that I am today. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Look, if if I ever had the chance to meet him, I would shake his hand, give him a high five, and say, damn it. Dude, you fucked me up. I mean, he did. He looking back and realizing that, and these are just the two standouts for me. Um, I I looked back over a lot of the movies Brian Yesno worked on, and I watched most of them as a kid, either because that was what was like the 99 cent rental at Hollywood Video, or it was what was on SciFi channel. And so I was like, oh man, I I just I just realized how many movies this guy has either made or worked on that has turned me into the horror freak that I am today.
SPEAKER_05I don't see anything wrong with that. No, no, me either. At this time, I think we're gonna take ourselves a little break. We're gonna leave you with some music, and we'll be back here in just a minute. Hell yeah.
SPEAKER_03Wow, you fucking whore. What a whore. What a whore, what are you horror? What are you horror?
SPEAKER_01And as always, the songs that we play in our show will be in the episode notes. So if you want to listen to them after the fact, you absolutely can. And by the end of this episode, there will be a Spotify playlist that we will be adding the songs to. So if you want to listen to what we have picked out for the episodes, you can. The songs will be added the day after the episodes go up. So they come out on Friday. The playlist will get updated that Saturday. So for me, I like to kind of surprise folks with what we're gonna play. Um, hopefully, you like my musical selections. Uh, and hopefully, I don't have to deal with any uh copyright fallout.
SPEAKER_02So we'll find out.
SPEAKER_01We are going to talk about some more scary movies, but we're gonna jump ahead a few years and we're talking about the now. We're talking about what movies scared us as adults. Now, I've got one in particular, and I have a couple honorable mentions, but and we were we were kind of talking about this during the break. Um God, I sound like a fucking news anchor. Uh, but I I'm I want I want you I want I want you to talk about your pick just because I I I love your take and and and the the experience.
SPEAKER_05So for movies that scared me as an adult, I only really have one, and it's it's gonna seem a little goofy to some people. Um this movie came out in 2013. Uh it is an Eli Roth movie, I believe. And I saw it 2019, 2020, somewhere in there, and that's The Green Inferno. For anyone who hasn't seen The Green Inferno, it's basically a group of friends, a group of people go out into the Amazon wilderness doing God knows what, and they basically get abducted by a tribe of cannibals, and one by one, over time, they are obliterated and devoured. And there's some really heavy moments in that movie. There's some really funny moments in that movie. But overall for me, and this is like I said, this is gonna be a goofy take for some people, it's for whatever reason, that level of that level of physical gore, I can't watch it. I can't stomach it, it freaks me out, it scares me. Um case in point, my honorable mentions today, because I haven't seen them, but I have seen the sequences in particular in these movies that basically threw people off the most, and that would be the first one being Bone Tomahawk, Kurt Russell movie. And for anybody who hasn't seen Bone Tomahawk, there is an extremely graphic scene in the movie where the movie gets its title from, and a man is chopped in half while being drawn and basically hung up in a cave upside down with a tomahawk. The other honorable mention being Terrifier. I've never seen the Terrifier films, I probably will never see the Terrifier films, simply because as I said, that level of gore, that it it I just have a visceral reaction to it. It freaks me out. I cannot do it. And that was the same thing with the Green Inferno. I sat through that whole movie. For the most part, would I watch it again? Probably not, but for what it was, I did enjoy the movie, but it also scared the daylights out of me because I'm like, no, I can't, I I don't have any other way to explain it other than no, no, thank you. But what we were talking about today's break is that one of my favorite movie series of all time is the Saw franchise. But you know, you guys are gonna be like, oh, but there's gore and there's people getting chopped up in that. I said, but it's not the same level of gore as terrifier, as you know, that sequence in Bone Tomahawk. Yeah, sure. This person lost an arm. Yeah, sure. You know, this person their hand got cut in half. You know, it's simple things that winds up killing them quickly. Whereas with Bone Tomahawk, Green Inferno, Terrifier, it's slow, painful, horrifying moments.
SPEAKER_01I don't know. So it's it's when it's when people get cut in half the long way. Yeah, basically. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05I definitely need an open face clutch. I agree.
SPEAKER_01No, I I completely, completely agree. Terrify the original the Terrifier One, uh that's a hard watch. Uh Bone Tomahawk. I uh I I think I had pulled it up on Amazon Prime while I was at work. I watched that on a work computer. Um because I was like, oh, okay, it's a Kurt Russell movie. Um homeboy from The Conjuring is in it. Um oh man. What's his name? This cannot be the start of me forgetting something this week and remembering next week and then making a show note. Anyway, Wilson. Patrick Wilson, I think, is his name, because he also sings the song with Ghost, which is awesome. Um I'm pretty sure it's Patrick Wilson. Andrew's gonna fact check me while I ramble. But uh, I thought it was like a a Western movie with like horror elements. No, no, sir. No, that was not what it was, and I could have turned it off. I could have turned it off, but I didn't. And I blame Brian Yesna for that.
SPEAKER_05So to clarify, just for you, so you don't have to make a note, you are in fact correct. It is Patrick Wilson.
SPEAKER_01Hell yeah. He's a good looking man. Indeed. Um dude, mine is is it's uh there's there's like not even a lead up to it. It's hereditary. Um fantastic movie. I I did not see a single trailer for that movie. I had I was listening to a horror podcast, and they're like, Oh yeah, there's this dude, Ari Aster. He has a movie coming out, has Tony Collette in it. Uh, it's called Hereditary, and it comes out on this day. That was it. That was the information that was given to me. And I said, dude, that sounds great. So I go home, I tell my wife, I said, Hey, let's go to the movies tonight. Let's go see this movie. It was the opening night. We go up to the theater, and it's us and like 10 other people. I'm thinking we're gonna watch a horror movie, probably about like hereditarial diseases, mental illness, maybe ghosts. I don't know. Fuck. No, we didn't. That theater was silent from the time that movie started to the time it ended. When those credits started to roll, we just kind of sat there because we were like, what the fuck? We I we went home and we talked about it, and we were super pumped up because it had been so long since I had seen a movie that got the juices flowing. I slept with the light on, and I loved it. I love Hereditary, I have watched that movie so many times, and there's not even like there's obvious parts that I'm like, oh shit, that's scary. But there are the movie is so unnerving that you don't feel a sense of ease from the time that that film starts to when those credits roll, to the point that you get home and are trying to settle down and process what you just witnessed, you're uncomfortable. And that that was scary. Like the the thematic elements of the movie are not scary to me. But it's the masterful execution of the way that the director commands the senses to feel during its runtime are perfect. Admittedly, I have not liked anything else he has done. Didn't care for Midsummer, didn't care for Bo is Afraid, so you know, whatever. I'll I'll take the shots, I'll, you know, it just I what didn't didn't jive for me the same way. Uh or the the new one with Pedro Pascal and also Joaquin Phoenix, didn't care for that one. Um honorary mentions uh Houses October built. Is it a good movie? Not by a fucking long shot. It's entertaining, but there's just something about it that creeped me out, man. I don't know. Um, and this this other one, I can't even recommend it. And part of me doesn't even want to like mention it because it I don't it's not worth watching. Uh, but like Poughkeepsie tapes, um it it doesn't hold up. It's not a good movie. It's honestly just really dumb. But when I saw it, I was like 17, 18, I think, and it was late over at a friend's house. We were watching it on his little TV, and the way that it was explained was, oh, this is a real documentary. And I was like, oh my god, what the fuck? Like, you know, the Blair Witch type thing. Um I get it. But you you know, I it just Hereditary isn't just like one of my favorite horror movies of all time, but it is one of my favorite movies of all time. Like it is fucking amazing.
SPEAKER_05I I will absolutely drink to that because um when I watched it with the wife and a friend at the time, um my wife was actually six months pregnant with our oldest daughter. And uh we hadn't really seen anything about the movie, but we heard it was really, really good. You know, we heard it was it was scary, and we wanted you know, we wanted to find something. Hey, it's not super bloody, it's not super gory, but it's super scary. We were looking for something like that, and we absolutely got it. Absolutely incredible movie from start to finish. And also everybody just had flashbacks.
SPEAKER_01If you haven't seen it, please, please, and we're being vague, like go watch Hereditary, please. It's it is it is an R-rated movie, so keep that in mind. It deals with some heavy, heavy stuff. It is not a pleasant movie, but it is so good, it is so good. It I mean it's oh man, I love that movie.
SPEAKER_05So, real quick with your honorable mention, uh the Poughkeepsie tapes. So I believe I've actually seen a sequence from that movie, again, on Instagram. Because uh one of the things I do on break or at lunch at work while I'm texting my wife is I scroll Instagram reels. And uh does what is your name sound familiar? He's wearing uh plague doctor mask. Oh, yep, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly. Yeah, and she's like close to the camera. And he's telling telling her, he's asking her what's her name, and when she actually says her name, he you know, he goes in on her.
unknownHe goes in on her.
SPEAKER_05Yep. And then he tells her to that her name is Slave. Yes. So I I have seen that sequence on Instagram, but I have not seen that film. That was my first exposure to that.
SPEAKER_01It's it's trash, dude. It really is. It's so it's so bad. I I recently had seen a clip of it, and that's the only reason why I even brought it up. Um if you've seen it and you like the movie, I'm so sorry. I'm not trying to shit on what you like. I it used to freak me the fuck out. But it it just a it's it's I mean, I can't even be like, oh, you know, it's it's a midnight drive-in movie. Because like it's not even entertaining. It's it literally does the so for those of you that don't know, the the Phepsie Tapes is presented as a documentary of like police and detectives and witnesses and people affected by this serial killer. And interspliced with this are the tapes that he made of these murders and attacks, and and I'm not trying to shit on the dude that wrote it, but it's it's just literally the like her arms were cut off, her legs were cut off, her stomach was cut out, she was hung upside down, he removed her eyelids. Like, it just let's do every crazy thing imaginable to every person, and then the one time it starts to go in a direction where it's like, oh man, this movie's saying something, and then it immediately is like her arms were cut off. I'm like, God damn it, you were close, man. You had something, but it's just it's just shocking for the sake of being shocking, but it doesn't really show much of anything. It's it's relatively low budget, and it's not like an extreme horror movie, but it's it's like what I would say that the the kid that you went to school with that wore like a why so serious Joker shirt would think like the coolest serial killer ever would be like. And I I just it the movie just doesn't jive with me, you know. Like as a as a young like an older teenager, younger adult, it was like, oh shit, and then it it lost its its charm quickly.
SPEAKER_05I had one of those shirts fresh out of high school, sir.
SPEAKER_01Well boy, do I have a movie for you? So we We are getting to the end here, and I have got another listener submitted story. Thank you so much for submitting these. We've got several in the hopper. And as always, if you want to have your story told on the podcast, just shoot us an email at contact at mondobizaropodcast.com. I will check it out. Just let me know if you want to remain anonymous, what information can be shared, if I have to do a little editing to make it a bit more coherent, not a big deal, I will do that for you. But today's submission is from Gigi in Illinois. Thank you, Gigi. And her story is I used to work as a server at a tavern called the Irish Rose in Rockford, Illinois. It's no longer there, and over the years there's been a lot of ghost stories that came out of there. The first half of my shift, I started to feel really uneasy at the salad station, so much so that I was getting really good at putting salad and bread plates together in record time. Just so I could get out of there quickly. During a slow phase, I pulled out my tarot deck just to get a read, and the energy was really eager to connect, but vague in general. What do you want inquiries? I closed the connection and stepped outside to smoke a cigarette with a friend, but kept having the feeling someone was standing in the window staring at me. No one was there, and the area I felt that from was a place that you couldn't physically get to. I decided to ignore it, and just as I was about to put my cigarette out and go inside, there was a loud bang, like someone had smacked the glass hard with their open hand. We looked up and even split up and checked other windows nearby in case it was something mundane that could be explained away. No one was near any first floor window that either my friend or I found. I didn't work there much longer, but after the incident, I never went to work without a protective charm. I would not have either.
