They're coming for you right now! But in the meantime, before you're swept away into the underworld, hi! We're here to bring you another round of entertainment.

underworld hi we're here to bring you another round of entertainment i'm joined today by bob and wade as usual and they are ready and prepared to give you all their best to ever have super prepared i'm i know it's happening and what's going to happen and and i'm ready for it and i've got all of you'll see i meant to be standing behind one of you guys completely naked to start this episode but i forgot did any of you watch completely naked to start this episode, but I forgot. Did any of you watch Hereditary in the meantime? No. Oh, okay. Well, all right.

Well, you don't need to know that for this episode, but I'll get into the topic in just a moment. Did anything spooky or fun happen in the last few days in between this and the last episode? Oh, I've got something scary. It just happened. My internet quit working consistently. No. No. Yep.

That's it. I think I might be sick. My throat's really sore. I feel bad. Okay. All right. Well, could be zombie. I had a spooky thing happen.

What? Two days ago, James only had six teeth, but now he has seven. Oh, God. So, yeah, that's not he doesn't like that. That's not good for him. Have you ever seen a child's skull? Yeah, it's terrifying. Don't like it.

All the adult teeth are in there, just crammed up in. Just waiting. Just waiting. That is true. I have not seen that. I have another horrifying thing for people to be terrified of is that i'm not going to be in the five nights at freddy's movie you keep saying that we know where you actually mean you are yeah i think the man doth protest too much if we edit what you just said what you said is i am going to be in the five

nights at freddy's movie i'm going to be in the Five Nights at Freddy's movie. I'm going to be in the Five Nights at Freddy's movie. Wait, it's a bold proclamation to say that you'll edit anything. So of course I won't. But you will. You know who you are. That 500 guys on the subreddit. Yeah, exactly.

But anything else new and interesting happen? Nope. Oh, Mark. reddit uh yeah exactly um but anything else new and interesting happen uh nope oh mark we're throwing a huge party for your birthday next year oh good it's actually for our anniversary and also mandy's parents anniversary because it's around the same time but also your birthday we'll count it for all of them is he invited well okay i mean it, it's in Cincinnati, so I sort of assumed I... No, wait. You know what? Maybe you can come. I'll look.

I'll look. Okay. All right. Well, thanks. Thank you for that. That really means a whole lot. Congratulations. You will have survived if you do.

Yeah, I will. Yeah. Okay. All right. Wait, are you having a stroke? Are you all right? I might be. I don't know.

I definitely have. It having some kind of episode. My throat hurts, but that laugh kind of made it feel better for a minute. So I kept doing it. Okay. All right. Well, if you guys are ready, I can get right into the episode here because there's a lot to cover because in the world of horror, there are a lot of tropes. Do you guys know about tropes?

Yeah. My favorite candy. I like the bright color tropes. You're talking about of tropes do you guys know about tropes yeah my favorite candy i like the bright color tropes you're talking about nerd tropes right i really didn't want to laugh i didn't i really did i can't believe anyone laughed at that thank you i appreciate that i was trying to think what kind of candy sounded like trope and then i have to be honest i didn't have that when i said it so when you were like got it, when you confronted me on it, I was frantically like, ropes, tropes, tropes, tropes, ropes, ropes, ropes, ropes.

Yep. It worked really well. It was pretty good. Almost like you planned it. Well, in the world of TV tropes and in the world of movie tropes and game tropes, we're going to explore them

and tap into your knowledge of pop culture and movies and games. And we're going to try to isolate some examples of tropes. Here's how it's going to work. It's going to be more of pop culture and movies and games and we're going to try to isolate some examples of tropes here's how it's going to work it's going to be more of a game show it's going to be quick fire buzz in do you guys have buzzers sure yeah i got some stuff i can use okay all right i'm going to give you an example of a trope and i'm just going to throw one out there for example it's called the amusement park of doom a dangerous amusement park where oblivious families and tourists visit at their own risk.

Now you guys buzz in and give me an example of anything. It could be like movie, could be game, where this trope exists. First one to buzz in and answer correctly gets a point. Buzz. Me. Me. Buzz. Me.

Buzz. Me. I'm sorry. Do you not like that one? I'll try something else. I really didn't know you guys were pressing buttons. I did not know that. I was.

Me, me, me, me. Anyway, I believe I was first. I don't know about that. I have no idea, but sure, Bob, what do you got? Isn't, um, oh, well, shit. Isn't that Zombieland? Basically have a huge amusement park of doom sequence in it. That's fair.

That'll give you the point. I accept one. One point for that. It'll be one point for every answer. First one gets it. There is no limit. There is no order. You buzz in when you know.

Buzz. I have one too. No, it doesn't matter. Oh, but I buzzed in before you asked the other question. So I thought it was still, you said doesn't matter how many and I buzzed. Oh, it doesn't. No, I mean like. The park, the the video game the park where the mom's looking for a kid in the park it's too late me me me buzz uh the park hold on dead island two no i said it

doesn't matter how many there are per thing you can only say one and and if there's any question we will look it up and verify whether that fits that one all right are you guys understand the rules i gave bob one point there just to give him a start the next trope what happened to mommy one of the protagonists has a friend or loved one infected with the virus or anything similar uh in a fit of loyalty they try to keep the victim alive and the infection secret smash i smashed before he bred i i know i brought first i know i heard the smash way before smash smash smash smash i think i heard the smash before the bra and because you both are in the same city the latency when it hits me is the same

i don't know about that way it's got broken internet so that's probably an advantage i do i'm cheating it's gonna be difficult because i don't know which ones you guys have well it's like a maximum of 12 so all right i think i heard the smash first wade what do you got the new evil dead movie that came out like two or three months ago the mom gets infected and she's like all creepy and weird and everyone's like mom you're gonna be okay you're in there right and she's like all creepy and weird and everyone's like mom you're gonna be okay you're in there right and she's like i have a better one what the fuck does that matter look i'm gonna give away the point but bob if it's incredibly better maybe i'll consider oh it's way better sean of the dead is that incredibly better i mean it's a better movie a way better movie it's not a better example we're not judging by the betterness of

it's like an iconic movie it's a great movie way better than the newest evil dead but like that's a small moment in the movie whereas the entire premise the new evil dead's like the weird mommy i'm giving the point to wade well done w Now, I will allow repeats of titles because obviously if it comes up, but it cannot like we can't oversaturate. We're going to ban them if they come up too much. Well, we'll play like that just because I don't think you guys have an encyclopedic knowledge of your horror movies. I super don't.

I know like four horror movies. Is this only movies? This includes games and stuff too, right? Could be games. It could be games. Any horror media. Next one up. Uh, Van Helsing hate crimes someone tries to kill monsters who aren't intending to harm or

kill anyone dog wieners bob i think no that was yeah that's me dog wieners sorry i didn't let it play dog wieners dog wiener um i mean it doesn't have to be a specific one? Because wouldn't it be any movie about Frankenstein and his monster? That's basically the entire trope of that movie. If you can name one specific movie about it, I'll give it to you. Oh, no. What's the one? Oh, you got five seconds or I'm going to let Wade steal it. The one with Willy Wonka.

What's it called? The Ship of Theseus. No, Dr. Frankenstein. On three, two, one, Wade. The Bride of Frankenstein, which came out in like the 50s or 60s or something. I'll take it. I'll take it. That's a point to Wade.

Well done. The Ship of Theseus. Sorry. Anyway, next up, womb horror. Do I need to explain this one? Yeah, please. Usually motherhood is seen as something nurturing and life-giving, something to look forward to, except in this case.

This is when things get bad, creepy, or downright terrifying when it has anything to do with pregnancy taken to a disturbing level. Um, that's me. Yeah, I know. Wait, what? Okay. level um that's me yeah i know wait what's okay i don't remember the specific title which is why i hesitated but literally one of the aliens movies where ripley is like the mom of the horrible alien baby uh after alien and aliens and all kinds of blurs to me you gotta name the movie though i know i'm throwing it out there for the point if bob can snatch it from me without cheating he can have it but because you're very close

and i will accept it if you can name the movie you have five seconds uh at the top of my head i'm not gonna think of it all i remember is alien aliens and like alien three or something i don't know that was correct i had to think about that it It is Alien 3. Is it? I didn't even know that was actually a title. Is that really the title? That is the one. That is absolutely the movie. Oh, come on. I had to think about it because you said da-da-da-da. Hold on, I'm gonna look this up. Alien 3. Alien 3 is the one. It's often forgotten, but I believe, let me actually triple confirm that.

Oh yeah, how did Ripley get pregnant in Alien 3? That's a... Exactly, yeah. So Alien 3, you are... Dude, I pulled that out of my ass. It's like, it's not going to be called that, but it's like the third ones. All right. Yes! All right, deducting point for early buzz in. What do you mean early?

That was a celebratory buzz in. I'm going to start to get confused on who's buzzing in. All right, this one is related to the previous subject but we are now i'm going to ban the alien movies the next trope face full of alien wing wong wing wong a creature reproduces by impregnating another species this can be a literal pregnancy or a rearrangement of your dna oh okay without the alien movies i'm i'm we're excluding the alien movies. Mm-hmm. We're excluding the alien movies. Specifically the movies? Or games. But, yeah.

No, wait. Sorry, yeah. We're excluding the alien games. Get away from the alien as a franchise. Yeah, yeah. Do it! Make your dreams come true! Bob!

I guess it's horror. Dracula. The vampires reproduce. Well, they can reproduce sexually with each other, but they also create more vampires by biting them which changes their dna structure or something why was i thinking alien specifically i think is that i i'd be willing to accept it um because i didn't think of that one but that is a good point to expand more vampires the only way to do it and technically would change the dna i guess yeah i mean it changes something about like your DNA or something, right? Yeah.

And I know it says face full of alien wing wong, but it just says the description is just a creature reproduces. It can be literal or a rearrangement of your DNA. And I believe that vampirism, it's either a curse or it could in some, in some movies, it's like a rearrangement of your DNA. If I can come up with a better answer, can I steal the point? I don't think so, but... Oh, okay, we're changing that rule.

Let me just look up, is Dracula, like, is that the name of the movie, or... I mean, there's a million things called just Dracula. I'm seeing mixed stuff. Is this an article from the NIH? Is that where this is coming from? No, it's not. But I'm seeing stuff that's saying vampires don't actually reproduce by copulation but by biting i mean technically reproduction is just making more

of your kind so uh wait what is your answer i think i'm gonna give species movie species doesn't she make herself like all hot so she can walk around and like seduce dudes she's like trying to mate the whole time you would be correct and i i'm very close but i think bob also qualifies this would be a debate because vampires do need to reproduce and if you take like twilight they do just have sex but i think people understand that vampires are like a creature that is not entirely human and they do need humans to make more of them so i'm going to give it like not undead not dead but not alive so they're not like undead but they're like cursed creatures

it's i'll take the point yeah vampire fans out there take that vampires reproduced by biting there's a guy out there adjusting his glasses right i was like they they the canon entries where they bite to get more family members they aren't actually reproducing they are just simply making more vampires well each each each cinema like or game can make its own rules so i'll take it but species is a good answer and i've never seen species so i have no idea i haven't since the 90s when i probably shouldn't have seen it but i do remember boobies but I do remember boobies. Oh, we do remember boobies. Speaking of boobies, the next subject is sex signals death. What happened?

Wade? Friday the 13th. Any of them? Nightmare on Elm Street. Any of them? That's a good one. Name a specific one. All right.

Yeah. Pick one. Friday the 13th. Let me see if there was actually any sex in friday the 13th there's so much sex and all those those counselors are like bam bam no fuck me bam a lamb whoa fuck me bam a lamb oh shit i died bam a lip oh okay all right well juliana gill hot sex scene in friday the 13th uncut? Man, I don't know. On Pornhub? There's a Reddit question that was saying, like, a friend told me the original Friday

the 13th movie sex scene is real and the actors are actually doing it. So, all right. Okay. You get the point. Not even was it a scene. They actually fuckuckled. That's not a sex scene. That's just a porn.

The director said cut and they kept going. Later, they were like, what happened? I'm not going to laugh at that. You should. I'm not going to laugh at that. I'm not going to laugh at that. What happened? Next category. Orphanage of Fear. Any movie where an orphanage is evil and horrible.

Oh, fuck. What was... Does it have to be a horror movie? A game or anything. Buzz. Do it! Make your dreams come true! Weirdly, Wade snuck his buzz in there just before you, Bob.

God damn it. So I'm going to do a weird one here the song total eclipse of the heart by Bonnie Tyler in the end of the scene there's a bunch of like choir boys with glowing eyes that float toward her and it's a reference to a movie that came out like 10 or 20 years before and I forget what the name of that movie is, but that combined reference and movie is my answer. Are you talking Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart

Turnaround music video? Okay, I'm towards the end. They're at some boarding school or something. No, it's before that. Oh, there's Possessed Choir Boys. Okay, this is such a good answer however choir boys does not necessarily mean orphanage yeah it does why else would they be in a choir i believe choir boys traditionally are part of the church wade and where do you send

orphans church to find jesus that'll teach him for being an orphan they need a father of some kind it was such a good like potential for answer i cannot give you the point because it is not an orphanage it was very good though bob i might it might be a stretch but i this is this is the first thing i thought of and i'm sticking to it. Okay. Technically, it's called an orphanarium. The orphanarium where Leela grows up in Futurama. All right, I got to look it up to see how evil it was. See, that's the thing. It's not like horror evil.

It's more like dramatic and depressing evil. They eat their shoes. Here's what I'll say about this i do remember this episode of futurama and i don't remember being any kind of afraid when i watched it i remember laughing a lot and that might reflect poorly on myself as a person but i think it doesn't quite qualify as evil in the definition that i'm looking at right here that's that's fair yeah so i can't give anybody the point here it was good attempts i wish it worked out but i didn't think it would be now that i'm trying to think about i can't even think of anything where there's an evil or are the children of the corn part of an orphanage or are they just i have no idea are they just in

the corn is the corn their orphanage they are not are they just i have no idea are they just in the corn is the corn their orphanage they are not technically orphans i don't think they're like children who have families right that's the kind of yeah yeah i don't know of a scary movie i'm just gonna take a stab at it can i take a guess you can but the points are no longer valid i'm gonna guess at some point there was a book movie show episode called orphan look i'm sure there was an orphanage in some media no no it's just the the actual thing is called orphan let's find out wait we missed we missed the softball but you're so close in 2007 there is a horror movie that came out called the orphanage serious starring balin ruida roger princep geraldine chaplin fernando cayo this might not be an english language movie now that i'm looking at

it it is a horror movie called the orphanage oh it's called the orphanato ah it's not that's not in english but if you had guessed that if one of us had guessed that you know spot on i found a real one supernatural season five there's an episode called the real ghostbusters where there's some haunted ghost orphans that ah oh there's also a 2009 horror movie just called orphan aha i get no point but i called it oh yeah wow that is uh you know so i think the answer to some of these is just to say the name of the trope or distill it down as confidently as you can and I'll look it up and it will be that. Next category.

The Adjectival Man. Go on. So you've got a mysterious and strange character that needs a name. Oh, it's a male? No worries. Just slap an adjective in front of the word man. Place a the in front of it all. so you've got a mysterious and strange character that needs a name oh it's a male no worries just slap an adjective in front of the word man place a the in front of it all and bravo you have a name

i think bob i think bob had it these are really good clear buzzers we have here uh no well so this this has got to count right and this is a movie and a video game franchise the slender man that i will absolutely accept that is a great answer a video game franchise. The Slender Man. That I will absolutely accept. That is a great answer. I was waiting for someone to fall into the trap of the elusive man. And I was going to be like, that's not a horror franchise. Oh, no, no. I had from the X-Files, the Smoking Man.

The Smoking Man. That would have been interesting. X-Files is a good reference for that. This trope falls under the same category as names to run away from really fast where it's so obviously named that they're bad that you just never would ever give them a moment of your time all right next one like old yeller i think this one's self-explanatory there's someone that's got to be put down and it's really sad i'm only thinking of things we've already referenced okay you can't you can repeat wait an alien don't they have to

put a guy down who like gets possessed by the alien i thought we were done with alien i that's why i said no repeats they said you could repeat i just said for the one but you're saying an alien oh okay okay okay don't they put a guy down maybe i'm thinking of a different alien but i thought when they don't know you are thinking of aliens where the guy is in a cocoon and they have to shoot him as a mercy kill. That is incorrect. In original Alien. Oh, wait. No, actually, am I wrong?

Was there also a cocoon scene in the original Alien? Oh, my goodness. You might be absolutely right because I remember that from Aliens. No, there was cocoons in the original Alien. Damn it. And they mercy kill them with a flamethrower you are absolutely right i'm gonna say i remember the bullets the bullets was aliens the flamethrower sounds right yeah i apologize wade i was under the wrong assumption there that's okay there's a lot of similarities

and differences in those movies it's hard to remember i had a good one for that oh what was yours share it that's the walking dead there's a lot of mercy killing in there a franchise based around mercy killing characters you like yeah and also unmercy killings and or characters you hate well yeah whatever there's a mixed bag of characters but they all die basically all right now we're gonna say the alien franchise has been tapped we've done a bunch of alien we're gonna move away from that. We have this next one. Sudden sequel death syndrome. A survivor in the first film is killed off at the start of the next. I know several examples of this, but I don't know if it's the very next sequel or just a sequel.

I will give you five seconds. Smash. Wade. Is it Nightmare on Elm Street? The survivor of the first Nightmare on Elm Street dies in the sequel, which I can't. I don't know the name of the sequel unless it's just like another nightmare on Elm Street or something. I'm looking it up. I thought the girl who survived is like killed to start it.

Survivors of the movie Dream Warriors. I didn't say Dream Warriors. Well, you're good. You don't get another. Hold on. Let's research this. I have no idea how to verify this without pulling up the movie. Good God.

Can you tell me how, like at the beginning of the movie, how it was described? No. At this point, it's been so many years or is it just like was it a completely different cast it was like the very start of the movie i think she's like watching tv or something like dozes off and dies and that's like how it starts okay it's like something at the very beginning so if it doesn't if she doesn't if they don't die in the beginning of i guess specifically the sequel i know how to look this up because usually on i I don't know, I didn't see this on this TV trips. There's a list of examples of where it is.

I think I might be wrong about it being the sequel. It might be a later one. Yeah, it's not in the list, but that doesn't mean it's not there. Maybe she dies at the end of the first film and I just think it's the sequel. Yeah, I'm not seeing it. I am not seeing it. And I'm not able to verify that information no that's fair so i think i'm gonna have to give bob a chance at this one if there's a more clear example oh shit i had thought of one but i i don't think she dies and i haven't thought of another one in the newest exorcist movie the

woman who was the girl who was possessed in a previous movie comes back, but I think she just gets stabbed in the eyes, but I think she lives. Interesting. Again, the Exorcist? The Exorcist Believer, the one that came out this year. One of the characters in that movie is a grown woman who was a possessed girl in a previous movie. Oh, who was it? Was it Ann Dowd?

Maybe he played Ann Dowd. Yeah, but was it directly like, because I'm assuming the prequel to The Exorcist Believer would be just The Exorcist. And the only girl that was possessed there was the child. I have a second follow-up guess if Bob's isn't right. Again, this is difficult because I have no idea how to verify it. So I think I'm just going to call this one a wash because it's difficult to verify. I was also going to say Final Destination was the example I had in my mind in Final Destination 2. The main character from the first one is mysteriously killed off in the very

beginning of it in a newspaper clipping. It's not even shown on screen, but it is emphasized. I hated the first movie so bad. I never even watched the other ones. It's did you hate it because it was gory? Did you hate it because it was bad? I hate it because it was cheesy. As soon as I saw a floating wire go after somebody, I was like, you know, I don't think this is the franchise for me.

A floating wire. Like someone's shaving like something gets unplugged from a wall and the wire goes and like wraps itself around their neck and like chokes them. That's Final Destination 2. Maybe that's the one I saw. But I saw that scene and I was just done with I was like, you know, no. Oh, no, wait, that is Final Destination. I think that happened multiple times in the Final Destination franchise.

It probably did. There's many, many, many one. But I remember distinctly there was the guy who won the lottery in Final Destination 2 that had that and it was like, whoa. think also final destination 1 he also got strangled by a cord it was like a bathroom i think or something it was like yeah something like that okay probably happened in either of them but i'll consider that a wash we're not going to give anyone any this is tougher than i thought it would be i thought some of these tropes would be easy yeah that was a tough one some of these are are pretty tough i i i think that it's uh it's interesting just to see

because i love the names of some of these so but just because the name is interesting doesn't mean that it automatically is something that's easy to find we're gonna do that one a wash no one gets points torso with a view killing someone by shooting a hole through their chest and the camera looks through the hole smash who. Who was that? Smash. All right, Wade. Does it have to be specifically the chest or could it just be shooting a hole through them? It says torso with a view. So it's specifically torso.

However, let me look and see if it because I think you're thinking of head, right? Yes. Wait, Bob, would you accept a example of through the head? Yeah, that's pretty fair. And this one, I don't even know if it's actually right. So you might be able to say i'm wrong on this one but the the most shocking i think thing i've ever experienced was in the walking dead when carl gets shot in the eye and it goes straight through his like head and i think you have a back view of it if i remember right maybe i'm wrong but like i remember

when carl got shot in the head and like you see his like face and just like you can see through his eye it's like dude no way but he didn't die oh do you have to die it's it's killing someone by shooting a hole through the chest i'm already stretching it to get the head okay that's fair that's fair okay bob uh yeah no that definitely happens in um that definitely happens in a scene in Resident Evil, I want to say, four. The movie? No, the game. Isn't there a sequence? It might be the wrong game.

Isn't there a sequence in that game? It's like a dramatic sequence, and part of the climax is, like, the camera goes behind the antagonizing character, and then his chest gets blown out, and, like, the protagonist is, like, standing there on the other side. It's a fuzzy memory. I haven't played that game since it came out the first time. I had never not played the remaster. I'm trying to look up Resident Evil 4 through torso.

I'm looking in the video game list of this trope. I do not see Resident Evil on this list. And I don't see anything about Resident Evil 4 having a shot through the chest with the camera looking through there. I can't verify it, but I don't remember that occurring. Then again, Resident Evil 4 is the one that I didn't play. So honestly, that's literally the only one that I haven't played. So if it was in there, I would not know. In Resident Evil, I don't know if I've seen, I've not played the games, all the games,

to be honest. I've only watched them. So it's hard for me to remember. I could see it happening in a movie. I'm sure it does happen in games, but like, I can't think of specific examples of games. I'll call this one a wash as well, because I can't verify 100% and I don't think that either of them kind of hit it. The easiest answer would have been Mortal Kombat.

Is that kind of horror? Does this have to be horror or not? Mortal Kombat is a pretty horrific. I guess technically it's not necessarily an action franchise. You know, you might be right. I would be wrong about that. But I think the fatalities fall under a certain brutal nature of them. That is, is typically definitely gory.

It's definitely gory, which isn't always horror, but it's like it's rated m for mature for sure but i would have accepted that from you guys we're gonna call it a wash next one toilet horror bad things happen in the bathroom my old life is that you buzzing in no that's just me reminiscing on the old house the word memory or bring up a memory sorry i just had that that was just on my soundboard from before yes bob it's it's maybe not a horror but it's definitely like a thriller and scary at this part uh the guy in uh jurassic park who gets t-rexed out of the bathroom i think that is perfectly acceptable because for many people the jurassic park dinosaur escaping sequence part of that movie

was one of the most scary things they had seen up until that point. I ran away when I was a kid watching that. That was a terrifying scene. And that is exactly the one that I thought of when I looked up this trope. Toilet horror is embodied by that poor guy on the toilet getting munched i think that's great next one sinister nudity nudity used as a signifier of villainy and horror maybe not a horror but it's sorry i just had that on my soundboard uh hey mine mine was from a previous episode that was from five seconds ago oh what do you mean no that's my buzzer button man i mean i buzzed in i said that mark that was me buzzing in by saying that ah okay i see how it is i mean not horror but it's no no we just whatever wade talked and that wasn't buzzing in wade what do you have you seen the movie hereditary okay there's some scenes in that movie where there's some pretty horrible nudity, man. It's pretty terrifying.

I will accept that. It's horrific nudity in that one. It's very horrific. Have you seen the images? Oh, man. It's awful. Next category. I scream.

Any horror sequence involving pain or trauma to the eyes that induces screaming or terror smash do it make your dreams come true i did hear the smash first i heard it that's wade dude there's so many moments in walking dead that involve eyes uh the governor the governor loses an eye to michonne there's so many times they push in eyes and there's a lot of eyes I want you to name a specific one that is horror based because there's many media where people lose eyes there's many moments where eyes are lost and I want you to name a specific one and it can't be Carl because you just you burn that one you don't count the governor being stabbed by Michonne I mean it's not a monster doing it but the governor is a monster let me let me look it up because i'll like all right uh governor isn't that just a big fight scene i mean yes but

if it if this specifically has to be a moment where it's involving the zombies no if it's if it's horror based if the moment is horror like centered that's what i'm really looking for well i don't know if i would count the moment as horror centered but like the show is it's an action sequence it's not a horror sequence so i would have to concede that can't accept that specific one it is it is close because the whole show is horror but it's also not it's like more of drama and like the survival there are some horrific moments that's why i was like if there was a horrific moment about it then i would have accepted but i i'm looking at it right now it is more of like a standoff kind of like fight moment as opposed to a specifically horrific thing i i have what i think is a unique one that i'm hoping you will accept all right the brain

washing scene from clockwork orange, that is a good example. Because that's not strictly a horror movie even, but I would say that scene is meant to be like terrorizing and horrific. It is because I think that sequence is specifically is intended to be traumatizing for the sake of trauma. And it's so centered on the eyes, like holding the eyes open. I've never seen Clockwork Orange. What?

I haven't even seen Clockwork Orange either. I mean, I haven't seen it in a long time. It's like a distant memory. I've seen people make fun of these scenes, like where they pry people's eyes open, but I've never seen the actual. That's how iconic it is. I thought you guys would have mentioned

the Dead Space 2 I seen. Never played Dead Space 2. I've never played any Dead Space game. Bob, have you not played Dead Space 2? I watched you play all of the Dead Space games.'ve seen. Never played Dead Space 2. I've never played any Dead Space game. Bob, have you not played Dead Space 2? I've watched you play all of the Dead Space games. I never played them myself. That's one franchise I have never watched or played. I've watched every video series you've done,

including the remasters or whatever, the re-release that came out when you played it. I like the games. I just don't play them myself because they're scary. They're scary, Mark. That's true. But I think Clockwork Orange, because, and this is the reason everyone audience at home, I know I'm not playing favorites here, but one- Oh, they're going. They're scary, Mark. That's true. But I think Clockwork Orange, because, and this is the reason

everyone audience at home, I know I'm not playing favorites here, but one is a fight sequence. One is strictly like a psychological horror sequence. And it's like, we're trying to keep it two horror moments. So I'm going to give Bob

the point on that one. All right. So we're going to do the secret of long pork pies. Do any of you want to guess what this one's about me who was that i think you damn it bob okay i feel like that's cheating yes you want to guess damn it i i haven't even given what the description was but yeah do you know what this is the secret of long pork pies i mean i know what long pork is that's what you. That's what you call. That's what you call human meat. There you go. Long pork is cannibalism. And I would say it's it's perhaps kind of funny and musical.

But the Demon Barber of Fleet Street is a horror themed musical based around long pork and pies specifically. I'm almost certainly giving you the point for this one. But I have to ask a question because we've qualified this for is demon barber of fleet street specifically horror so i guess what i'm referencing most specifically is the sweeney todd movie starring um johnny dip because that's the most recent thing i've seen of that i would not say it's like a horror movie writ large but the scenes involving killing humans and feeding it to other humans yeah definitely have the horror vibe of like body horror gross disgusting like i think well the reason i'm going to give it to you is because demon barbara fleet street is a musical and

musicals have categories just the same as everything else does but the nuance between them is hard to differentiate but if you had to categorize a musical horror, I think Demon Barber of Fleet Street might fit that more than anything else because there are not many musical dark themed stuff like that. So I think I'm giving away. Do you agree with this? I'll leave it up to the subreddit to decide. For context, if you Google it, a lot of places seem to describe the Sweeney Todd movie, the Tim Burton movie specifically, as an adaptation of a musical in the form of a slasher film.

And I would say slasher is definitely horror adjacent. And the things that I just looked up are like Sweeney Todd is being discussed on the horror subreddit. So I think it qualifies. And I'm going to give Bob the point there. Next trope. Science is bad so many god why can't i nail next trope bob no this this movie has been on my mind the entire time because i want to reference it because it's possibly one of my favorite horror movies of all time and i'm realizing now that it hopefully this counts. Jason X. Jason X is cryogenically frozen for 400 years. He is discovered on the original Earth, which is too toxic to be occupied. Humans now live on a planet called Earth 2.

But there's a space station and a researcher and his interns go down and discover Jason and take him back up to the space station. So on and so forth. Jason in space. Holy shit. The movie ends with two teenagers next to a lake on Earth to watching a shooting star fall. And then Jason sinks to the bottom of the lake.

There's a next to amazing movie. I love that you said Jason X. I have seen so few Jason movies. Jason X is one of the only movies that I've watched more than once. It's a, it's an interesting watch. The, the image of that Android's nipple falling off is burned into my brain.

I don't know why, maybe because I've watched it at a young age and it was like boobie. And then it was like the nipple fell off and I went, just like, I remember that. So the science from bad is, and that is what the fact that they just preserved him they cryogenically froze jason well so they experimented with how to kill him right and they eventually cryogenically froze him because they couldn't kill him but then they

are trying to dissect him in the future and that's what leads to him being reanimated and coming and then they through science gave him like a terminator style like shiny metal on i don't remember it wasn't covering his whole body but his mask was definitely metal it was an interesting choice the sleeping bag scene the the murder scene in the holodeck is like i know it's a meme but it's so fucking funny i don't even i might have blocked that part they try and distract him with a hologram of his like and there's two teen girls there and he kills them by putting stuffing one into her sleeping bag and beating the other one to death with the one girl in the sleeping bag but that's when he figures

out it's a sim it's a simulation it's not real and he starts to like actually get out it's just such a just the shot of him swinging the one sleeping bag into the other it's like classic i was that whole this whole time i was like i have to do jason x it's gotta come up uh next one i'm gonna start just giving the names of them and you have to like guess what the meaning is because some of these are pretty obscure but i think it can i think it gets the point across. Nightmare Fuel coloring book. Nightmare Fuel coloring book. The secret of the long pork pie.

I think you have about half a second. God damn it. This is a guess. I'm not super clear on what this is, but I'm just going to put this movie out there because it's definitely scary. Pan's Labyrinth. Pan's Labyrinth. Does that count as-

It's a scary movie. It has scary moments i think you're missing what this trope is though okay yeah i know i don't really know what that's getting at i gotta be honest all right so wade do you want to take a stab at it nightmare fuel coloring book well you don't have a guess you just rung in to just beat me to it yeah i was i was like bob's gonna ring in right away and i'm low on points i have to okay i'm gonna take a guess i have two different guesses i'm gonna tell you what my two different guesses are as to what it means but i'm gonna stick with my one answer okay my one answer i'll

say is the ring my guess as to what it means is coloring book either means it's like a really psychedelic murder where there's just like a lot of shit going on like on a dance floor or something or that coloring book references child i don't know which one child in one way so in the ring the girl is like a child with like the dark hair who kills everyone so i'm gonna say it's the evil child oh oh wait i think i get this it's when a kid starts drawing really horrific shit in a movie as a as that happens in the ring the kid yes the thing that is the correct description and that is a correct movie i will give you the point way because you named the correct movie hey you didn't say he needs to

understand it he's he's right he deserves that he is right it's just like but bob you are correct that is the meaning of it and he just so happened to pick a movie with with drawings in it i picked the right movie for the right reasons. Exactly. So, Wade, you do get the point there. Congratulations. Thanks. Good job for you. Just by name, that's tough, because that could be so many different things. It is. It is a little tough. I could make these

where you don't know the meaning double points. We could go into the double final round. Whatever you want to do. This is your thing. I just find it fascinating. Make it competitive. I'll make it competitive, but it's already very competitive just going like point for pointer i think i think i don't want to ruin it with by doing doubles i think this is fun this one is obscure i like but i think the title is pretty clear it just might be hard to find a specific one for it so i'll keep it pretty broad i hate you vampire dad oh i have some examples i can think okay you know what

buzz all right he buzzed i don't know if this counts but i think the movie my interview with a vampire there's a kid vampire at one point who like betrays her family and then they put her in a hole and the sun comes up and they kill her off that is the right movie to pick i don't think that's specifically the right characterization for that moment there literally i hate you vampire dad means anything where a creature that has sired another creature by any means specifically mostly vampires rebels against their sire and in that movie there is a lot where well she does they all do exactly yes no i'm giving you the point for that one that is a great and perfect example of this trope okay i named her specifically because a dad i thought might be able to be more vague but i was like okay maybe it means a young person so i was thinking

of the kid okay all right that that is i don't know why that movie was on my mind i actually looked something up about that movie like a few months ago and i was like rereading it because i watched it in the 90s i didn't remember half the weird shit that happened in it other than that scene was so gruesome i think they're remaking that one i don't know why but i think i heard that they're no it's a tv series now they they made it into a tv series for some reason i don't know why i can't believe i came up with that it's so weird that i guess it's synchronicity because that was the one weird movie that came up with like i was talking to my sister a few months ago and that came up it was a pretty good guess it's gruesome watching that poor little girl like in the sunlight it's pretty awful bob no not bob i'll take a point

what no bias markiplier over here oh i just went into like back and forth all right next one next one orifice invasion me bob uh well this is what I thought of first, so I'm going to stick with it, even though I'm having second thoughts. This is not strictly a horror movie, but the... What's his name? The bug in Men in Black who wears an Edgar suit. There is a lot of orifice inning and outing of little alien bug bits and things, and I would say that that is like a horror aspect of that character because he's supposed

to be terrifying, but also comedic. I, ooh, I'm so like, I'm on the fence about this because yeah, you're right. There are horrific moments in there. It is still like mostly a kind of like a drama comedy almost. It's not pure comedy like the sequels were. It's got a little bit more drama-esque to it, it's still i think i have a better example yeah i don't know if i could give you that one because it is well okay oh man i'm i'm so torn because the moment that i'm thinking of in that movie is really horrific it was when edgar gets you know when he gets slurped he gets and then it goes

okay wait what do you think that moment? It's horrific. But is that an orifice that particular moment? Cause that's when he's just gets the suit in general. That's not necessarily like orifice to me is like nose, hole, mouth, ear hole, eye hole. It's something like specifically an orifice. Let's look at the, the official definition here because I'm like, yeah, cause that would, that would help us a lot. Cause we don't know. We're just guessing based on the name a creature basically forces all of itself into someone up but through an established opening of the body as in naturally not a cut or a piercing and the edgar thing i almost would have given that for horrific but because the definition is that it's natural orifice and not

a cut i have to say wade you have a chance to get the point here so i don't remember the specific episode because there's 15 fucking seasons but in season six i want to say of supernatural there's an episode where the mother of all has created this like little worm thing that like crawls into people's ears and like takes over them and they have to be electrocuted to kill the thing that's in them so it like slurps back out say what was the name of it again sorry i've like blanked on the supernatural but i don't remember what the episode was it's in seasons i want to say it's in season six where the mother of all is like the main villain eve but she's like

the mother of all she creates this like horrible fucking thing that has to be electrocuted out of like the like the little matrix plug bug thing like that. It's like this little like skimpering thing on the ground. Let me find. Yeah, if you can find a clip like because I could just because I know Supernatural is like about Supernatural stuff and it has horror moments. I would just like I would judge that specific moment to be like horrific. It sounds bad, but I just want to do my due diligence.

Con worms. I think that's it. Yeah. The episode was called The Things They Carried. Con worms are a thing in the supernatural universe. A new type of monster created by Eve. Yep. There is one in six.

I thought I had a clip here. Do you have an episode name, Bum? It's called The Things They Carried is the name of the episode, I think. Season six, and then there were none, and Mommy Dearest. And then there were none is the episode in season six that they appear in. They're mentioned in the other episode in season six. I have no idea. I can't seem to find an episode based on this.

I mean, I've got a link I can share with you. There's a mention of Supernatural in this trope, in this specific trope, but it's not this moment it says in supernatural demons usually enter their meat suits mouths as smoke oh here here here here i've got i don't know why i'm helping you but here this is a uh a pirated clip on youtube i'm assuming okay oh that's that yeah okay that's that's horror that's that's that's awful the whole episode i think that's that's i think it's the same worm, but a different episode. The episode I'm thinking of is like they're stuck in the dark and they don't know who

to trust because it just keeps infecting different people. They have to, like, figure out how to stop them. OK, all right, then this is the final question. We are all tied up and you can count my math. I'm almost positive that everything is all tied up. And for the record, I gave Bob a bonus point at the beginning. I forget why, but it was for flattery or something. I earned it. No, no, no I gave Bob a bonus point at the beginning. I forget why, but it was for flattery

or something. I earned it. No, no, no. He got a point right off the bat. That's right. From the tester one. That was what it was. Because I earned it.

Yeah, absolutely. This is going to be the final category. I'm just going to give him the title of it. I'm not going to give any explanation to it. If anyone gets it,

if they don't get it, we'll do another one. But this is the last one. Whoever gets this wins the episode. The trope is you're gonna regret eating me bob uh-huh yeah i have one in my mind that i'm thinking about i have one that came to mind but i don't think it's horror so i didn't buzz right ah god damn it it's that i was trying to do another futurama one but i don't think it's horror hello everybody oh are you giving up bob what if i do two futurama one but i don't think it's horror hello everybody oh are you

giving up what if i do two futurama ones and maybe one of them's horror the only thing you know is pure futurama that's the thing i know most about man i know more futurama than any other pop culture thing in existence that's fair that's fair all right but not fair enough to get a point oh but wait listen the the Poplars episode. They crash on a remote planet and they don't have any food, but they discover holes filled with little crunchy, delicious things that they decide to call Poplars. And there's a song that goes, Poplar in your mouth. You could say it's a whole thing.

It turns out those are infant creatures of the lure of Omicron Persei 8. Those are his children. And so they're eating millions and millions of Omicronian babies. It's our, you know, I was, hello, everybody. I don't think because it's a horrific subject, but the way it's presented again, I don't remember watching that episode and being like, oh, the culmination of the episode is that they decide they will eat one human for each baby. Omicronian that was eaten. But it turns out they more Omicronians than there are humans. So then they're just going to eat Lila and they're going to eat her live on TV and a live broadcast.

It's very scary i i i love and appreciate your entry but i don't think i can give it to you hello everybody shut up mark's thing that wade's triggering wade i think it's season five of the walking dead they come across a bunch of cannibals and there's a character named bob who the cannibals are eating and specifically they are going to regret eating him because he got bit and was infected. So whenever they eat him, they make themselves infected. Therefore, not only do they eat him, but they also are going to regret eating him because it kills them.

I think that is an excellent example of this trope because it lies exactly into what the trope is. However, the trope does say it's usually about like saying it, you're going to regret even eating me. But I think the spirit of the trope literally consuming something. And I didn't think that there would be an example of like humans doing it. it's like aliens doing it but i think that after they eat specifically his leg they cut off his leg and eat that in front of him he cries and then he starts laughing and they're like man's delirious and that's when he's like i got bit he doesn't say you'll regret eating me but like i got bit or i'm infected or whatever he says is like the equivalent of like they're sitting there like like they start fucking vomiting and shit and i think because i had to disqualify one because it was more action walking dead i do have

to say walking dead is mostly horror and this does lean into it like a whole bunch of cannibals regretting eating i think i give way the point here and i think wade wins the round by really tuning into what that trope was. Thanks, Bob's leg. I got to thank Bob's leg specifically for this. Thank you, Bob's leg. I don't even have legs, so I don't know who you're thanking or whose leg it is. I don't care.

Because I ate it. All right. Anyway, cannibalism aside, congratulations, Wade. You really stormed into the victory circle. But! No, I'm just kidding. There's nothing. There's no handshake deals. There's, Wade. You really stormed into the victory circle, but... No, I'm just kidding. There's nothing. There's no handshake deals. There's no nothing.

You win. Actually, Mark, I wasn't going to do this. Okay. Since Wade seems pretty proud of himself and everyone seems to have ganged up on me, I do want to go ahead and cash that in. Excuse me? Cash what in? What's happening?

You don't even really need to know. I just, I would like Mark to make me the winner, and I think he knows why. Okay. That's what you get for being so smug about it, Wade. You should have just taken the win graciously. That is gracious for me. I've seen you win more graciously than that.

Not today. Well, Bob, unfortunately, I don't recall having any handshake deals with you and I don't recall any outstanding you must win abilities. Subreddit, back me up on this. Mark is effectively breaking a jinx. You're going to be cursed forever now.

No, no. Wade, give your winner speech. Mark, that was a fun and very fair episode. I think that was very fair. So thank you for the fairness. Of course, absolutely. Bob, you were a very worthy competitor. I think you were kicking my ass there for a little bit.

I had to squeak out a few wins there at the end to come back. But it was a fun, honorable game. And I enjoyed myself very much. And apparently I need to learn a lot more about horror tropes than I thought. All right, that's well said, well spoken. Bob, any losing advice? Well, I think Wade should be embarrassed because the last horror movie that I watched

was The Shining for the third time four years ago and I literally don't play horror games or watch horror movies ever. So you almost lost to someone who has no actual knowledge about the thing we were just discussing, purely guessing and using stuff that was barely horror that mark just happened to give me credit for right on the very fringe of even remotely being correct i mean most of my answers came from the alien franchise like i had like three franchises like 90 of your answers were the alien franchise or walking dead

so i guess you really just knew the important ones thank you a moral victory for me really on this one i was impressed with your knowledge you did very well i was sad by how little i knew and how much you did i think both of you should be embarrassed and ashamed of yourself anyway thank you everybody so much for listening and watching this podcast hope you had a fun time no we don't have any merch shut up stop talking about it.
