Delighted to dread.
Fantasize enough fear.
Who glorify gold.
Welcome.
You have found the place where the horror returns.
Listeners beware.
This podcast contains major plot spoilers and the foulest of language.
Join us in celebrating the old and the new, the best, and the worst in horror.
All right, welcome back one and all to The Horror Returns.
I'm Lance and with me as always my co-host Brian and Philip and tonight we got a good a good buddy Ricky Morgan what's up Ricky what's up
what you got going on these days man are you got some shows coming up for October uh there's a lot of stuff out
there man we've kind of dusted the knock the dust off the show bring a helming power hour back out
I was just telling Lance before we started recording that we almost talked about calling the show the Helming Power a half hour.
But unfortunately, I think that name's already taken.
No, come on, there's no way.
But yeah, we're back doing shows again.
And then like I said, I've got a doctor movie going again.
And I'm doing movie reviews while driving my car.
So that's always a safe thing, you know.
Very nice, man.
Cool.
I hope you're not watching them while you're just.
driving. No, that's against the law.
None of us have done anything against the law.
I would never break the law, kids.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, we got, we got a movie to cover tonight.
So we're skipping a lot of the segments, no news, no trailers, no feedback.
One quick podcast spotlight shout out.
And then we'll, I guess, go around with Cool of the Week.
But, Brian, what is the, what is the podcast?
spotlight this week, man.
You sent it to me and I can't find the fucking thing.
You put me on the spot.
Oh, wait, I found it. Here we go.
All right.
Okay.
Let's see. This one is called
Halloween is Forever.
I like the title.
Listen to, Brian,
are you on this one, dude? It says, listen to
horror nerds, Brian,
Meg, and Steve.
Is that you?
No.
It's just a great name.
All right.
Well, how.
Halloween is forever. Listen to horror nerds. Brian Meg and Steve defend their favorite horror films every month and subgenres and topics picked by the audience.
Plus minisodes featuring reviews, rewatches, horror shorts, and more.
So check it out, boys and girls.
Ricky, what's your cool of the week, man?
That's the coolest thing you've watched, read.
Have you been to a Pink Floyd reunion concert?
I mean, anything really good going on?
That'd be cool.
I'm going to have to go with, which was a really good surprise, was Werewolf by Night.
That's getting a lot of love.
A lot of love.
Danny, my co-host on Helming, was telling me about it.
He's like, dude, I think you need to check it out.
I've been kind of down in the Marvel dumps for a little bit.
I'm like, yeah, they're just not really delivering.
And, man, I loved it.
And just really fun, really fun.
All right.
I think you're like the third or fourth person that's mentioned that one.
What about you, Phil?
Man, I don't know.
I'm kind of in the middle of doing a bunch of different things.
So the only thing I think of is baseball this week.
There you go.
Go Astros.
And my son is on the Galveston Hurricanes.
And they just played a tournament today.
Didn't win it, but he hit a bomb to the outfield.
So I was excited about that.
Nice, nice.
Yeah.
Brian?
I'm just going to go.
simple doing a 31 recap with you it's kind of hard finding uh interesting uh i did all 2022 releases
so it was kind of fine hard to find interesting movies to watch but i think overall the 31
was very entertaining a couple couple of ones in there that i couldn't recommend
well they're always those are always going to be in there when you do 31 movies they're not all
going to be gyms, are they, Ricky?
You're lucky if you get 10 out of it, so.
All right, man.
I'm glad to hear that.
Well, I've, gentlemen, I've opened up the cabinet.
I've dared to open up Giamo Del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities, and I'm glad that I have
a couple episodes in, and it got some great special effects, some really good storytelling,
and it's nice and short, talking like 45-minute-long episodes.
So, yeah, can't go wrong with the cabinet of curiosities.
Just in time for Halloween, boys and girls.
So, sweet.
Happy about that.
So usually this is the time of the show when Philip gives us our movie trivia and shit like that,
and who directed the movie and all that.
But I didn't have time to take any notes.
So, Philip, you want to just announce it, or you want to cheat and look up IMDB?
Or how do you want to do you want to do?
I can.
I was in the middle of trying to look up the movie and get it rented before we start.
This is the last minute.
but Halloween 3 season of the witch
we're going to do a commentary on it
I don't know where you guys got it from
but it's on Prime Video you can rent it
Well there you go man
Or notice yeah it's it's
Like so many things these days
It's on peacock but
I didn't know that so I rented it too
iTunes so we just covered this on
Helming a couple of weeks ago
And Danny had never seen it before
Oh really?
That was an experience.
And I'll be honest with you.
I expected him not to like it.
And I think he loved it.
So what do I know?
And there's a lot to love about this movie.
It's hard to beat the John Carpenter original.
But when you compare it to some of the other ones like, oh, I don't know, Halloween ends.
It's a classic.
So you guys ready to just jump in and I'll play it at a super low volume and, or y'all tell me if I need to lower it any.
Sounds like a band.
Director is Tommy Lee Wallace.
Go for you.
That's right.
What of John Conner's buddies.
Not Tommy Lee, huh?
He's a, not Tommy Lee.
He's also, I brought this back up in the show, too, that Tommy Lee Wallace was also in the Coup de Villes with John Carpenter and Nick Castle.
And they did the song for Big Trouble and Little China.
No shit.
Okay.
Great movie.
He hadn't seen that one in forever.
I'll be damned.
Well, I know that Stephen King is in a band called The Rock Bottom Reminders.
So you got to love that title.
All right, you guys ready to start?
Yep.
Yeah, let's do it.
All right.
Let's try this out at zero.
Mine says it's one hour and 38 minutes.
Is that you got the same copy?
Yep.
Yes.
Close enough.
Close enough.
All right, here we go.
Three, two, one.
And let's see, we got that world-renowned universal logo on there.
Oh, wow.
I had the, if you're going to steal it, we're going to come get you.
Uh-oh.
All right.
Is that too loud, guys, or just about right?
Carpenter score is never too loud.
Okay.
Looks like we're playing an old, an old video game at this point.
Like missile command.
Missal command.
Mistuffa a cat.
Who fuck is that?
I don't know, he produces a lot of his movies.
Yeah.
He's like a Saudi prince or something?
Oh, man, this is almost like those old 1940s movies
where you have to watch 10 minutes of credits before the movie starts, huh?
Yeah.
I don't hate it, man.
It gives it a good nostalgic feel to it.
Yeah, that's right.
You just think back, though, to the,
time of this and everybody's sitting there waiting to see Michael Myers and they're getting all
this build up, right?
Kind of like it in the new one.
Yeah, 30 years later.
Oh, boy.
So when does Meyer show up in this now?
You said it was at the two minute and 30 second mark, Ricky?
Yeah, he's on the TV, I think.
Oh, no, they're showing an old Star Trek episode.
Of course, Dean Cundee.
Great, you know, great cinematographer.
Yep, the great Dean Cundee.
I feel like that was a euphemism.
All right.
We're getting somewhere here, guys.
So when you guys covered this a few, it was a few weeks ago, right, Ricky?
Yeah.
Everybody had good things to say about it, right?
Yeah.
Nobody had any negatives or takeaways or anything like that?
No, everybody, I mean, Danny was, I mean, I was really in print.
by how he just kind of consumed it.
So he's kind of like,
eh, but he dug it.
Did he, did he through the mail,
mail order, uh, order a piece of stone hymns?
We did talk about a lot of the scenery here.
It looks like escape from New York.
Right.
Because it's kind of your time period.
Right.
You can tell some of the lighting is, uh,
kind of based on that for sure.
Very much so.
If,
if I have watched.
this, it's been a very, very long time, and I don't remember it.
Oh, that's a good thing, man.
That's a good thing.
So why are we starting?
Rick, you tell me again why we're starting way back on the 23rd of October.
You're going to have buildup.
And then we have a couple of time jumps, don't we?
Yeah, you do.
There's one day it's like lost all together.
It's like, I think it's a whole week we just kind of missed, but anyways.
Yeah, I definitely see that escape from New York.
Look.
Oh, yeah.
Music as well.
Look at those fucking cars, man.
Right?
They just built them better back then.
Now, was this in, did it say this was in California, like Los Angeles or something like that?
It said where it takes place.
I just missed it.
Did you catch it, Brian?
I think it said Los Angeles.
I think it said Los Angeles.
Where it takes place or where it's found?
Well, it just said Los Angeles 1983 or something like that.
Well, I can already tell you this is a better version of Escape from L.A. than what we got.
Is it?
Yeah, but we won't have the Surgeon General show up in this one.
That's true.
What was he doing?
Like surfing off the shark's back or something like that?
Oh, man.
They severely underestimated the amount of human feces on the street.
Hey, aye.
Guys aren't in a hurry looking for them, are they?
Not really.
Not really.
Hey, I think you missed a turn.
Ah, shit.
They must be stoned.
They're like, hey, we gotta catch this guy.
Ah, we'll catch him.
Don't worry.
That doesn't seem like a real law enforcement method.
He's got a chain.
see what happened. Uh-oh. I don't think he's
getting that.
Is this the part where they ought to be singing in the
background, Damo Arigato, Mr.
Robato?
Oh, come on.
The power of
a roboticole
Kro-
Oh, boy.
I don't know if we're buying that.
You're not buying that one, huh?
Especially when we find out
about these guys later.
I always wondered why
his arm's getting
pinned killed them.
I mean, you see what
physically these people can do through the rest of movie, and he
couldn't just push that car away, you know?
He's like, ow, I'm squeaked.
You just kind of like
went down, didn't he?
Well, this is a strange
beginning. Is it?
Yeah. So have you seen this before, Philip? Does it look
I don't know that I have, actually?
Well, that's good. We got a, we got a
virgin on the show again here, Ricky.
just like you did.
Stonehenge where the demons dwell,
where the banshees live
and they do live well.
Yeah, that's where a man's a man.
For a Halloween movie, that was a strange opening.
I was like, what?
Oh, boy.
Who is this guy? He's like a robot.
Yeah.
He's like a robot, all right.
This is where the pipers dance
to the pipes.
There's a man.
And the children dance to the pipes of a band.
The children dance to the pipes of me.
You know, all I've ever heard from people who have actually seen Stonehenge is how unimpressive it is.
That's unimpressive.
Oh, here we go.
One of many times you'll hear this song throughout the movie.
Right.
Pretty damn good commercial.
That's better quality commercial than some of them they have now.
It's no cheddar goblin, but it'll do.
It's pretty creepy.
I think they hired this gas station attendant because of his jaw line.
Did they?
Oh, wow.
His head is shaped like a banana.
Hey, weren't you a night breed?
Oh, no.
That's the moon man.
Oh, man, thanks Christ.
It's like Jay Leno.
Is it?
Yeah, right.
It's like Jay Leno and Bruce Campbell had a baby.
Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking, Bruce Campbell.
I need those stickers.
Once you guys describe it like that, I can't unsee it now.
Well, it scared that guy to death when he saw his jawline, so.
Holy shit, it's an alien.
Oh, man.
Yuppie attack.
They're coming.
They're coming.
That's the same guy that got squished by the car, right?
Or was that his partner?
I don't know.
There's many of these guys.
Yeah, again, I mean, maybe it just put him down for a second and then he was back up again.
It's kind of like the agents from...
What is it?
I was going to say, they're kind of like the agents from Matrix.
Yeah.
They'll kind of look the same.
Yeah.
What the fuck does that have to do with Michael Myers?
Here we go, guys.
These are the kids.
Those are the kind of masks we used to get when we were.
Our kids, we got so pissed off.
Dad bought them like at Proger.
Right.
They would come with like a plastic cape or something.
Yep.
Speaking of which, my son is going to be Michael Myers this year.
No kidding.
Yeah, got the mask and everything.
It looks pretty good.
Oh, man.
We have to say these masks that they're wearing are very excellent mask.
Even by today's standards, they look for sure.
Yeah, the real ones.
They're solid.
Yeah, you can't blame them for not liking the ones dad brought them from Kroger, huh?
That's the problem with those Star Wars costumes.
You can spend 80 bucks on one, and it's still got like a half mask that straps the little string in the back.
Ridiculous, man, ridiculous.
And $78 of that goes right to George Lucas, right?
Well, not anymore.
I guess it goes to the mouse now.
And his frozen consciousness.
Everybody's freaking out by Elon Musk, you know, taking over Twitter.
but I think the biggest thing is
Lucas selling to Disney, that's just kind of
That's a big deal, man.
I think that's a bigger shocker than anything else.
To be fair, Disney owns about 75% of entertainment, period, now.
And that's the problem.
Yeah, right?
Big Chin, scared me.
No, God, I'm getting out of here.
He said, later, Gator.
Boy, I'll tell you what, they bought some serious air time for that commercial, didn't they?
Everywhere you go, it's playing.
It's like a fucking political attack ad.
Yeah, no shit.
I'm so dumb with those things.
Oh, I think they're terrible.
They just let him sleep there with that mask in his hand, you know?
Right.
You can't pry it out of his hands.
You can have my man.
mask when you cut pride out of my cold dead fingers which won't be long so time
Atkins just told her to throw me well you know it is Tom Atkins yeah I mean
when he walks through even in his doctor you know outfit here you still got that
swagger yeah yeah I'm a doctor yeah yeah getting a beer at oh okay I thought for sure
he's going to get a beer out of there a high life yep absolutely
Oh, he does get a six-pack of high life later in the movie, does me?
Absolutely, yeah.
Ammon would appreciate that.
Am I right, Brian?
Oh, champagne of beers.
I wanted champagne, I would buy champagne.
I don't want a beer.
I'm going to buy a beer.
Speaking of which, I'm about to go grab one of the Mad Dog 20-20s of beers.
I'll be right back.
I'm saying as I'm drinking this fucking margarita wine cooler bullshit.
These are the angriest businessmen I've ever seen.
When Wall Street attacks, I said sell.
Oh man.
Have you ever seen that old TV show called Prison Break?
Yeah, I think so.
Okay, so yeah, it had the two brothers in it, right?
The one that was big early.
The big burly guy and then the other one.
I guess that is considered old at this point.
Well, like the one, the bigger guy, he went on to be in some,
I think it's an Owee Bowl movie or something called Attack on Wall Street.
Have you all seen that?
Oh, no.
Where he grabs an assault rifle and goes after all these Wall Street executives
because he loses his ass in the stock market.
What is going on here?
Broke his.
What did you do?
He reached through his eyeballs, poked his eyes out, and pretty much poked his brain and broke his nose out.
It looks like he was trying to steal his nose.
He wanted that mask.
Pretty decent effect for the time, too.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're overreacting or overacting, whichever you want to call it.
Uh-oh.
It just seems like about the least efficient possible way to kill somebody.
Yeah, well, it's fun, though.
I'm going to grab you on the bridge of your nose until you die.
So there's two versions of this too.
Okay.
So either you see him actually sticking his fingers in and ripping it out.
There's a lot of blood, or you get the version of it just cuts.
Okay.
Oh.
But it's pretty gruesome when you see the actual.
Yeah, I saw it kind of get underneath the skin and was curious how that happened.
and then the guy goes out and burns himself in the car because, you know, mission accomplished.
Mission accomplished, that's right.
They didn't need him for any other missions.
What kind of car is that?
One that explodes instantaneously.
One of them combustible kind.
Right.
Sir, I'm going to have to arrest you for this wallpaper.
I heard all these people come from.
I don't know, but it was empty a minute ago.
man you got any marcebellas
they'll say everybody loves a barbecue
you know right true
I got a pack of weenies here
yeah you do
fucking caprice or something
is that what it was
I don't know something
yes one of those five cars
that all looked the same back then
I know
Is it a Moni Carlo
Is it a Monte Cristo
Is it a
Impala
A baby a regal.
A lot.
Was it a fair mont?
Was it a fair lane?
Well, they all look better than the pregnant roller skate looking cars we got now.
Pregnant roller skate?
Yeah.
It's true.
You may be onto something, man.
That might be a good way to market it.
Smart cars.
It's like a micromachine got stuck by a bee.
They've got a microman.
They've got, one city has cabs that are completely self-driving, like Johnny Cab.
They come by and they pick you up.
Yeah, I think it's, is it Scottsdale, Arizona, or something like that.
But they've got, they've got a fleet of cabs that actually pick you up within the parameters of the city.
Now, I don't know about you guys.
I'm not sure I'm ready to try that quite yet.
It's the future.
I'm sure it'll be here eventually.
So she's there to make sure that this is her dad, that.
Got killed here.
Ah, okay.
Instantly, you see Tom Atkins looking at her like, hey, baby.
He didn't waste any time, did he?
Whoa.
Wowza.
Kind of like the old cartoon wolf with the eyes that come out.
Ooga.
Yeah.
That might be her dad.
Part time doctor, part-down brawny man.
Right?
Time to make my move.
Drugs probably.
It's how man can say, and your night's about to get a lot harder.
That longer.
They left that guy in there all night.
Jesus.
The refrigerator's down.
Sorry.
I guess.
Jesus Christ, man.
Uh-oh.
Well, she looks half my age.
Half.
And in despair.
Bitchy, I could bone her.
That's pretty much it.
She looks vulnerable.
We're up to Wednesday the 27th, Ricky.
Oh, yeah.
We lost four days.
We lost some days there, yeah.
It kind of happens.
So it wasn't a whole lot to that whole last day.
Right.
Hmm.
And yet he couldn't get that car to get off of him, huh?
That's exactly.
That's...
please.
Oh no, this car
is slowly rolling towards me.
This poor girl, man,
she gets called on for everything
through the whole movie. It's like,
I'm just an assistant. I don't know what you want for me.
Can you look this up?
I'm too drunk to look myself.
I'm getting paid enough of this bullshit.
Yeah, obviously they've been
shagging in the world.
Yeah, Tom.
Tom Hackens definitely fucks.
Oh, man.
I'm not going to be all right.
I'm Tom Atkins.
Yeah.
We are moving along.
Now we're all the way up to Freddy.
I told you, man.
We ain't messing around.
No, we're not wasting any time here.
So they skip a couple of days in there, show a completely pointless scene.
And then jump in a couple of days.
It's just two more days.
How many bars have you ever been in where they're showing cartoons on the TV?
There you go.
There we go.
Who's that?
Hey, it's Michael Myers.
That's about the extent, too.
That is it.
It's still more than in the last movie.
Oh, man.
Now that's what they usually show in the bars I go into.
Exactly.
Tom Atkins doesn't go looking for the chicks.
They come looking for him.
That's right.
She's definitely looking them up and down, isn't she?
She's got her dough.
I thing down.
Right?
Let me raise my eyebrows a little bit.
Oh, boy. I'm so innocent.
I have no idea what's going on.
Hold on now.
I'm not done with you.
Well, you didn't really look into it.
Clearly been at this bar for the last few days.
Yeah, you remember those checks.
Chuck Norris jokes.
Oh yeah.
You ever heard of any of those?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Check, or COVID is afraid Chuck Norris is going to catch him or something like that.
I'm sure there's some Tom Adkins jokes out there somewhere, right?
Got to me.
Yeah, that's what we want.
You to do some detective work.
That's right.
Pick up more masks.
It's the last thing a daughter wants to see him when her father's dead and he's got a pumpkin in his hand.
Man, not only do they jump around with the timeline here, they go back and go over every fucking day in October and what every little medicine.
That's why they skip the days because she's going to bring them up in reference.
October 3rd went to grocery store.
October 9th, kicked a nun.
Isn't this like a lot of people's favorite Halloween movie?
It's my favorite, dude, back far.
Is it?
Yeah.
Oh, I love it.
Well, I like the first one the most, I think.
This one is so different.
As a matter of fact, it's not a different just from my Halloween perspective.
It's just different altogether.
Give it time, Phil.
Like maybe it should have had a different name.
Hey, look, they're getting one of them, Oldsville, Bill.
Yeah.
98, isn't it?
No, that's a cutless.
Again, all those cars look the same at that point.
I think I see a Volvo there.
They were boxy back then, too.
Oh, man.
Like all those TVs would have the same cable run to them, you know?
I'm telling you, dude.
Whoever bought these ads had some money to spend.
Now it's only two more days till Halloween.
Okay, we're getting there now.
Just imagine, 10 minutes ago, we were eight more days until Halloween.
Right?
This movie moves, man.
It does.
Hmm, okay
Santa Maria
Strangers
A hango
The old Dublin Inn
He's cruising
People sure aren't friendly around here
Company Town
I expect to see Warwick Davis jump out any minute now
He's in the bar
I'm sure he is man
Look how high tech this town is, though, man.
Right.
Security cameras in 83?
It's pretty high tech.
It's pretty high tech.
Yes, sir.
That's an Oldsmobile.
For sure it is.
Yeah.
Nine miles to the gallon.
Used to cruise around one of those playing Van Halen.
There you go.
Drive up to the gas station.
They say, let it or unleaded, sir?
That's right.
And the gas cap is under the license.
and Blake. Right.
I still say
if they made some of those old style
cars, like right now
with new features on it, they'd sell
Yeah.
Like hotcakes.
You know how much people pay for fucking vinyl
albums right now? Yeah.
Like, I gave away a box this big
to Goodwill for nothing.
About 10 years ago.
For about 20 bucks of pop.
Oh, shit.
Like, make a
relatively inexpensive, like,
65 Mustang.
Right.
Sure.
New stuff in it.
It looked gorgeous, dude.
Yeah.
Yeah, but make it all high-tech inside, right?
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Yeah.
You got a screen, you got a good stereo system, you know, any lock brakes.
You're shaking the same when the dad was in the hotel here, so he's making sure that this is the right place.
Right?
Who's he playing?
the hooker he just says it all
he's laying that money out there because he's getting a room with this chick
he don't care who gets the money
Mr. Cockring
Hey J
boy if they made a porn parody of this man
I think you just
figured out the first name
Halloween 3 season of the bitch
yes I love this scene
Right
Winnebago
Is that a Winnebago?
We just having that discussion with my wife the other day.
This kid right here, man.
Man, I expect to start here on Holiday Road any minute now.
I just love it when this kid rise off on his bicycle, though, man.
It's just hilarious.
It's it busted.
He shoots her a bird.
Right?
I mean, they just got off the Winnebago.
She says one thing, and he shoots her a bird and he rides off.
I expect to hear him to say,
I want my $2.
Right.
This woman's crazy, too.
He doesn't look like he has a lot of patience for assholes, does he?
They're insane people.
I can use a drink.
Of course.
It's getting late.
It's 2.30 in the afternoon.
Listen, there's a whole lot of really fucking annoying people out there.
Give me a beer.
Well, I mean, you know, I mean, you know, I'm a nice guy unless you don't want me to be.
I've got a six-pack of roof temperature highlight in the car.
Yep.
Ready to rock and roll.
I mean, already, here we are, man.
Yeah.
Right for it.
They just drove into a weird town.
Everybody's staring at them.
They met some strange people, and it's time for action.
I mean.
Some Atkins action.
Exactly.
Six o'clock.
Time to shut it down.
This movie's crazy, man.
Philip, you see why we like it now?
You don't have the explanation why yet.
It's just like the wicker man here.
Or what was that Star Trek episode?
They all had the midnight hour or whatever it was called
where they had to all clear the streets at night.
Yep.
The thing about it, how far off kilter is this, really?
I mean, when you compare this guy, this guy is like the 1981 version of Bill Gates, right?
Kind of owns everything.
Sure, sure.
If he tells you to shut your town down, you shut your town down.
And he did it all by making Halloween mask.
That's what's so impressive.
Oh, that's great, man, yeah.
Not like he invented some great, you know, scientific discovery.
He makes a Halloween mask.
He's not running, he's not running SpaceX here, right?
The profit margins are unreal.
you wouldn't believe.
What did he pick up?
In like every town,
you have to have the drunk guy that knows everything.
Sure, sure.
I just wanted stuff.
I saw it look heavy.
Brian.
I ain't got no diseases.
That he knows of.
Or cares about it at the moment, right?
That's how you get the monkey pops.
Is that still a thing?
I haven't heard about that in a couple of weeks, have you?
I don't know.
I don't think so.
Did that go the way of COVID?
I mean, I'm sure it's still a thing somewhere, but...
Right.
I don't plan on attending any orch at any time in the near future, so I think I'm okay.
They wouldn't hire him because he's a local guy.
They brought in all them strange guys in suits.
Sir, you got a little bit of crap on your forehead.
Just want to let you know.
Easy, easy.
Oh, you can't say your threats out loud, man.
Yeah.
They'll kick you off Facebook for that.
That's right.
You got to watch it.
Say whatever you want now on Twitter.
Right, well,
allegedly.
We'll see how far that goes.
Allegedly.
I'm looking at trivia for this.
Joe Dante was the original director of this.
No kidding.
Okay.
Well, Ricky, you guys were saying that you have a pretty strong feeling that the man himself was involved in some of the directions.
Again, when you see some of the shots, the way they're set up and the lighting and stuff, that's Carpenter at 100%.
These glides, when the camera's in motion, it's straight out of Carpenter's handbook.
Well, they used to do shit like that, huh?
Yeah.
Yeah, well.
Jump in and help out another.
director or something? Sure.
And like I said, Wallace was one of his
understudies. So, I mean, he's... Okay.
I'm sure that I'm having conversations, you know,
on phones, you know, trying to figure
out this shot and that shot. Because again,
Deppery Hill and Carpenter
produced this story.
So, right?
Bankers. So they're definitely involved.
This is great.
The scene looks a little weird right here.
Yeah. Oh, Lord.
What are they going to do?
We're about to receive.
Well, you did.
Dick Warlock there.
Oh, man, it only looks worse.
Yeah, let's do.
You know we're talking about that form parody.
He just wanted a little head.
Was that good for you?
Because I know that's Dick Vorlock there, right?
Yeah.
Was it? Okay. All right.
I knew he looked familiar.
Yeah, you did.
Wow.
I was with you hockey horn.
I was where the lepritine shows up
Yep
Give her me gold
I want to be computer chip
You know that's
At the time that was Tom Macon's wife
No
This lady here
No kidding
Okay
The one that honked the horn
Yeah
Her name's Marge right
I think so yeah
Yeah this is his wife at the time
They should have just gotten into a threesome, man, shit.
I mean, they're right there.
This movie may be why they split up.
She's over in the next hotel room.
And the directors tell her,
just stay here for 15 more minutes,
and then you go see Tom.
Listen, that pouty look in those gigantor natural tities.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm impressed.
No problem with that, huh?
boo-boo. He knows she's not a detective, right?
Plastic and metal shavings.
Well, you know, we just would have had a little more information had it not been for the colossal boo-boo.
Right?
It's technical time.
Lots of boo-boo.
Put this bottle on ice that I just shared with a bomb.
He's got some. He's got some. He's got some.
ice and everything, huh?
Yes, sir.
Yeah, this is probably why they kept the wife
out of the room. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.
One week
after release, his wife filed for divorce.
Are y'all sure this
isn't the porn parody?
Could be.
You know, if I paid
for a movie that said Halloween on it
and I went in and this is what I've got
so far, I'm going to
be a very confused patron.
Absolutely. Absolutely. That was the problem.
Yeah, that was the problem, man.
I'm the right fucking place here. What is going on?
The whole thing is this was supposed to be the breakaway, because they wanted to do kind of like...
Like the Night Gallery or Tales from the Dark Side.
They went to hear short stories. You know, so every movie did not tie together.
It was supposed to be totally different stories from one and the other.
This was their first attempt at that.
Right. And because Michael Myers was such a big hit.
and you got to remember you didn't really have the big franchises for horror really happening just yet
yeah i guess that's a good point
i mean they might have one or two sequels and that's it so you didn't have this
legacy of 15 movies in the set you know and while while michael myers is a very cool character
none of his like the original Halloween was not near as cheesy as any of the nightmare on
elm street or any of that right right well when you
demystify the boogeyman, they're no longer scary. You're rooting for the bad guy.
Yeah. And that's, that's that thing. It's always been a problem. When you, when you show the monster
too much, it's no longer scary. Yeah. Kind of like Rob Zombie's Halloween, huh? Yeah.
Where you kind of felt sorry for the, for the kid. Right. Sure.
I wouldn't, I wouldn't mess with that, lady.
Really? Oh, those feds have been listening again.
There's only one tool for this job.
This is nuts.
All right.
Philip, get ready.
This is where Luke Skywalker shows up.
I'm serious.
What the fuck?
Who cares?
That was his wife.
Luke Skywalker just blasted her mouth.
Right.
What in the hell?
It's a pretty damn good special effects, man.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
What the fuck is that?
Oh, you ain't seen nothing yet, ma'am.
Wait until they get the test subjects in the lab.
I don't like what's happening right now.
That's why you don't go, well, look out.
Man, man, man, butt.
You didn't even put any underwear on.
I was about to say, we all know Tom Hackens freeballs.
now.
Yeah.
Going commando, huh?
This does not look suspicious at all.
No, that one did.
Yeah, right.
Nothing to see here, folks.
Move along.
These aren't the droids you're looking for.
Step away from the gingers and lab coats, please.
Well, she looked like she was dead, so I don't think she needs a doctor.
Irish, Irish Androids, right?
Yeah.
Well, they didn't have a soul to begin with, so...
Right.
Of course.
There you go.
We're going to take a woman that's been mangled to the factory, not the hospital.
Where they have the best care.
Factory that makes Halloween masks.
That's right.
That's what they're going to do.
They're just going to put a mask on and say, well, there you go.
You're good.
See you later.
Sign this waiver not to sue.
We'll send you a life or your kids a lifetime supply of Lucky Charms.
I love they just put her in the back of a van, too.
It's not even an ambulance.
Sure.
And as usual, like you guys pointed out, they're driving like about 20 miles an hour.
Well, they only had to drive across the street.
Right.
Well, honey, that was weird.
I say we go back to bed and do it again.
Weirdness makes me horny.
Now he wants to sleep somewhere else.
Saturday the 30th.
Yes, we're getting close.
We just lost a bunch of days.
Calling her again.
She's like, can you let me do my job?
Well, we've got another benginger of a situation here.
Yeah, another boopsie.
car parts.
Well, it looks like the same stuff you had there the other day.
Exactly.
She just decided to actually look at it.
Or anal cockering,
whichever you want to go.
She said this is going to cost you, huh?
Yeah.
That's not very discreet for a spy microphone.
What are you talking about?
I couldn't see anything.
I didn't see it.
I don't know.
he damn near clip that 18 wheeler turn in the corner.
Yeah.
What is this like the old saloon or something?
Look.
Looks like white Earp is about to walk out of there.
Why do you even need security cameras?
You just,
you got all these guys standing around.
Yeah, right.
So apparently nobody ever can see.
I don't know what that brooch is.
She's got on, but he even stepping on.
I was going to say she just put a boo pen over a gigantic coffee stain.
Oh, okay.
Another ginger, huh?
Yeah, my dad was an old man, that's correct.
That must have been him.
You must be a psychic.
Oh, yeah.
That shirt that kids got on, man.
That is awesome.
This is your Willie Walk in the Chocolate Factory moment here, you guys.
Right.
Oh, that's a little shithead that shot his mom to bird, right?
Yeah.
Yeah. So this family is there, and that lady that had her face blown off while it goes, they're there to buy masks from this guy.
You didn't have them sent to you internationally.
You had to come actually pick them up and take them back home and sell them.
Right.
This guy's the number one salesman of these masks.
That's why they're celebrating.
Sure.
His son's not impressed.
That seems like a very strange sales record.
And what's the name of this young lady, which?
you. Oh, that's Jones.
Smith.
He's a swell guy.
Free glow sticks for everyone.
Yeah, I expect to see him play the piccolo at a bunch of oopalupas come in to.
Yep, yep.
You know what?
Maybe if somebody ever remade this and they can turn into that kind of story for stuff happens in the factory like that, that'd be awesome.
That'd be great, man.
Feel like many versions of the guys in suits.
So are they trying to say that the mask that Michael Myers was wearing possessed him?
No.
Is that where this is going?
Nothing to do with Michael Myers, not a single thing.
I like how you're trying to figure out the movie.
He's trying to put it together, but there is nothing to put together here.
It has anything to do with the first two movies.
I'm going to try, man.
Yeah, I'm going to say from here on out, you just got to go with it.
concept though. Yeah, I figured
that's where they were headed with it.
No, no, no, no.
Just enjoy the ride, Phil.
I mean, to me,
if somebody made these creepy toys,
it should have been killed off a long time ago.
These things are nightmare fuel.
I was thinking,
making candy like Willie Wonka
probably has a way bigger profit margin
than, you know, a latex mask.
It could be just once a year,
He's like a mask, this giant Disney fortune.
Right.
Selling masks.
That's what's so crazy about it.
Oh, that's problematic.
You don't have one already?
You made your dad sells these things and he never gave you one?
That explains the shirt.
Just don't fall off your bicycle or a laser will shoot through your brain.
Tom Adkins, he's walking around with a cup of coffee.
It's probably half of that's probably filled with whiskey.
Just trying to take the edge off.
Right.
It's just the way they used to roll, man.
Tile chemicals in the mask.
Final processing.
Kind of want to see his cheek eggs.
Right?
Are we talking like whoopee cushions or
flapping gum or what?
Yeah, the fake dog poo, yeah.
That's how I plan on making my fortune.
Right.
Hadn't taken off yet, but I'll get that.
there one day, by golly.
I can make a fortune just selling the real poo.
That's the secret.
Malcolm
Maca Now would have been great in this role, huh?
They were looking in our window while we were doing it.
There's another one. He looks exactly like him.
What's his car doing here?
Oh, wow.
I think problem, child's got something to say about that.
Get along, little doggie.
I saw it.
I know I saw it.
Yeah, I know.
I showed it to you last night.
You want to see it again?
It's got to fall under somebody's jurisdiction.
This is pretty silly, isn't it?
Oh, it's hilarious.
Is that Michael Myers doing a Latin dance on the TV?
He's got to be in there somewhere.
in the background.
I think he does pop up again.
Does he?
Yeah, some have another little TV scene.
Wasn't the operator supposed to be Jimmy Lee Curtis?
I think so.
So I got they had a Friday the 13th movie about a guy who's just had a really shitty day.
Yes.
Well, you remember they had the series.
Remember?
They had the TV series, which had nothing to do with, that was the whole concept.
This was the beginning of all that.
Mm-hmm.
It was just like all the cursed items that the, what was it, a brother and sister that were trying to find.
Yeah.
That had been sold to different people.
Yeah.
And then you had Freddy's nightmares, right?
A nightmare cafe or whatever it was called.
Oh, look.
It's the back street boys.
Uh-oh.
It's like the door wasn't even on any hinges.
It just flied with it.
I'm sure the door wasn't locked.
Lacking down anyways.
A handless door.
These chase scenes here
looks a lot like the chase scene
and Christine.
Okay.
Yeah.
Hey, somebody
finally going more than 20 miles an hour.
What's with this rag in his back pocket?
Tom Atkins' action store.
That's right.
Action Atkins.
Oh, man.
Action rolls.
It was a close one.
They won't see me if I'm just struck down.
That's right.
That's how Superman changes.
Phone booths.
Where's it all leading to?
Back to the factory.
They probably had to make them clear because, you know, too many homeless guys jerking off.
Jesus Christ, Bill.
He's not wrong.
This thing is covered again.
Did I do that with my mind?
That sounded like that Tales from the Dark Side music, didn't it?
Speaking of Tales from the Dark Side.
What is this horse trough on the back of this thing?
I don't understand.
It's for horses.
Sure.
I got to see him climb in the window.
Man, with all these cameras and all these fucking Androids walking around and shit
and he can climb right in?
Exactly.
Come on.
They just left a window open with no.
alarm.
Super advanced technology, really shitty security.
Is that what they are?
Are they robots?
Did I spoil something?
Well, you got to put it together.
The guy that runs this place is a toy maker.
I get you.
You about to find out.
I may be lying to you.
See, they could have done this with that Robin Williams movie toys.
They did this with Phantom of the Parent.
I'm not Fair with Paras.
Kiss meets the Phantom of the Park.
Oh, God.
That's right.
They're all robots, too.
Because it's so much easier to build a robot that looks like a human than just hire goons.
I know.
That's a good point.
It's got to be like $3 billion a piece.
Yeah, right.
Probably hire one of those dudes for, you know, a couple crack rocks.
It is Bill Gates and Elon Musk working together.
It's a good scene right here.
And then Bezos pops in with his penis rocket.
Oh, boy.
He's a poorly put together robot.
Yeah, right.
Boy, West World's got nothing on this, huh?
That's right.
Purely mechanical, though. You've got to love it.
Right?
Real old school, right?
almost steampunk
he just hit him harder than the car did
yeah a lot harder
all I have to do is put you into my robot
penis and then you die
that was fairly easy
yeah
a lot of orange juice
that guy had one too many mimosas for breakfast
oh hey hey
clumsy
there's the not
There's the Nazi aspect, Philip.
There's the Nazi connection.
There's some weird shit that the Nazis were into.
You knew it was coming.
Not only do you have the Irish after you here, but you got the Nazis too.
Let go my member's only jacket.
Really? I just ran my hand into a guy that's a robot.
You're going to show me something else that's interesting?
it's just in case you didn't know
BTW
they said the 31st and I was
confused I thought we were in July or some shit
yeah right must be Halloween
what was that what was that all about
he can smell Halloween in the air
he's excited man it's Halloween
it's kind of played the
Star Trek door noise in my head when that
closed right right
they even sneeze
It does sometimes cause them to go to a murderous rampage.
I haven't quite figured that part out yet.
But we're working on it.
Not really worried about Tom Ackin's getting away, are they?
Not really.
Well, this is where they have to explain everything to you.
Yes.
Because nothing has made sense yet.
Right.
So check it out.
Well, you're here anyway.
I may as well explain my...
Divo was making their new album.
Yeah.
Like a good bond villain, right?
Yeah, he's got to explain his entire evil plan.
Right.
30 minutes of exposition.
And they'll tie him down with a laser coming toward them and say, well, we'll see you later.
Well, hope you don't get out while we're going.
That's kind of what happens, right?
I mean, well, I mean, think about this.
You know, you might hunt how people said that they were just unimpressed with Stonehenge.
Right.
Nobody's impressed to you try to steal a piece of it like this guy did.
Right.
Then you realize, crap, how did somebody make this?
So instead of relying on China to make his silicone parts for his circuitry, he's using stones out of stone inch.
Oh, way rare earth minerals.
Even a particle.
What does that do?
He just showed you where she was.
They have a misfire.
Now, whatever happened to that little ginger kid that we,
was riding the bicycle, flipping the bird to his mom.
Coming right here.
That's what I want to know.
Yeah.
I change this shirt.
All right, Philip.
This is the money shot.
This is the payoff, Philip.
That's like those living rooms looked when they set them up for the nuclear bomb blast explosions.
Yeah, exactly.
Oh, you'll be saving here.
Shut the door and lock it.
No, uh-oh.
Test room A.
I mean, you should have thought of that before.
Tech, man.
I mean, all of this to play a video.
He didn't just push play on a machine.
It's 17 code buttons and a twist of a knob.
He just puts his mask up.
Sure.
It's a lot of blinking lights and budgets to play this commercial.
Turns into video drum.
Hey, she may be drunk, but she sounds like a good time.
That kid was an asshole.
die and turn into bugs.
Right?
Oh, my God.
I'm not sure I entirely
understand what's happening right now.
I just love the fact
that a rattle snake.
I just love the fact that a stone hinge
piece,
you know,
a piece off a stone hinge will make
rattlesnakes come at you.
A rattle snakes.
Specific snakes, right?
There were a lot of rattlesnakes in Ireland.
I thought there weren't any.
I thought St. Patrick
chased all the snakes off the island.
What exactly
was it they were testing for?
Well, again, you got to stick around.
He's going to give you a reason.
You got to remember, this guy has sold billions of these masks.
Right.
Is he Thanos?
You saying it's time for another monologue?
Yes.
That's a horrible job.
They're flying off the shelves.
Dayton, Ohio.
On Halloween.
Right?
New York, New York.
And what Danny always talked about
This is voiceover in the commercial
It's time to put on your mask kids
It's creepy
Oh, Matt Rooge, Louisiana
I mean they're pretty quality
MASS but there's only like three
It's it
See, all you need to do is just
Accessorize
And then you make the mask into something else
There you go
A little like accessorize
rising, huh?
Hurry home, kids.
You get a van driving around to everybody
go home and put your mask on.
Turn on the TV.
Oh, Phoenix.
See, this little girl's got
like fairy wings on with her mask.
Way to go.
Oh, man.
Glad we didn't go through all 50 states.
We got close, didn't we?
Over a week later, she finally
found something out.
Right.
Yeah.
It looks like I'm in an underpants
gnome.
type situation here.
I know
I know we got about 10 minutes
left before all these kids put on
the mask and die, but I think
I just found something.
Step one,
kill a bunch of kids.
Step two, profit.
Tomorrow? Yeah, that's fine.
Oh, boy.
That can't be good.
Don't all doctors
keep a half-inch bit
fucking
corthus drill in there
is only the good ones
I thought that's what they did brain surgery
with Philip are you telling me it's time
you got to remember that you know battery powered
drills back in that time were pretty crappy
so right
this could be real hit and miss for this guy's idea
I died halfway through
real hard skull
she's been staring at these pieces for a week
and all she came up with is they're not car
parts.
Oh, wow.
In the ear.
Very a tout, very a towel.
Very gialo here.
Am I right?
Yeah, very much.
Either that or it reminds me of the guy.
It was the director that did blowout, the one with John Travolta.
De Palma.
Yeah, he always put women in peril, didn't he?
Oh, yeah.
All right.
All right.
I feel like it's not going to be an explanation at all.
Just go with it.
Big giveaway.
Seems like the cheesiest possible way you could tie somebody up.
I wouldn't say begging.
It was a happy time.
I keep watching Phillips expressions.
That's what I love about having video on here.
He's like, what in the fuck?
Did you guys talk to me into watching?
Kind of sounds like the Dora's song, This is the End?
this is the end
beautiful
so
it's just an ancient
witchcraft tradition thing
yeah it happens
every thousand years
every three thousand years
Philip
yeah just a kiss
he forgot
this guy's been waiting
all these years
making toys
just so he's this cover up
so he can finally
just kill kids
with technology
from Stone Edge
again
that's how
Well, would you put it like that?
Yeah, it makes sense, right?
You know, I was with you right up until Stonehenge.
You get, Brian, you know we got to do our Tom Atkins soundbite at the beginning of this episode, right?
Yeah, definitely.
I'm going to go do something else now.
James Bond has nothing on Tom Atkins.
Absolutely not.
Ropes, very, very loose.
And I tie you up.
What'd you call on Ricky? Action Atkins.
Action Acton's.
And tie you up with a seatbelt.
Right.
I mean, he's like McGaver before McGaver here.
Oh.
Sick Atkins.
Look at that shot.
Man.
I bet he's great at Ultimate Frisbee.
You would think so, right?
Fear, Paul.
Oh, damn.
They locked me in.
good things there's a six foot
grate in front of me that I can
climb through.
Completely loose, not even bolted.
Look at the strength
of Tom Atkins.
Right.
You know, it makes me wonder if they used to make
AC ducks like that and they're like, man, we got
to quit getting people to like climb through these
motherfuckers.
The big giveaway at 9 o'clock.
Come on, Tom. You still got enough time.
He's thinking about coming to the coves, having a few laughs.
Tom Aiken's going through a whole lot, just to get some tail, man.
Well, you know, which of us hasn't, right?
Hey, to be fair, in real life, she's way out of his league, so...
It's a mask.
If only we could figure out what was going on over the banging of all these fucking AC ducks.
God damn it.
Somebody fixed that.
Got out just to sneak right back in.
Makes perfect sense, right?
I guess that's all the overstock that they weren't able to sell in time for Halloween, huh?
Or is that for when they do the big Thanksgiving giveaway?
That there's what we call overproduction.
Those are Christmas mask.
Right.
Santa Claus mask and stuff.
Maybe they didn't do good at Internet.
nationally.
I guess.
That's six days huge, though.
Shut up, shut up, listen.
It's the first thing
he should say when he calls his ex-wife,
shut up, shut up, shut up,
shut up, you bitch.
It's called to tell you that.
You're just jealous.
She asked if he was drunk,
so I wonder what kind of
he made
he made sir before
I'm sure he's made
plenty of
plenty of drunk calls
Brian
and most of them
start out
shut up
shut up
make me some breakfast
yeah
he's thinking
we were talking
I'm way
long time ago
if you got
get her
get her out
and say like maybe
all we got to do
is get to some town
where they
don't allow kids. I suggest
a retirement community on an island.
This is hilarious.
Is Michael Myers around the corner?
Yeah, right. Where's
Michael?
You know, there's probably people back
then that was still hoping.
He's going to pop out. I love
this. Nobody's going to see that.
You have to get here somewhere.
That's got to be him behind those masks.
Nobody's
going to see that.
Just to show you how awesome
my Mackins is. Right?
He can make himself invisible.
Look at how big those boxes are. You could
just hide inside one and then walk when they're not looking.
It's like a jack in the box, huh?
Just like Metal Gear Solid. Right?
Love this. It's so ridiculous.
That music. That is some good music, man.
It's a great. You said Carpenter did the soundtrack, right?
Ricky?
Yeah.
As far as I know.
I think he did the soundtrack
for Halloween ends.
I don't know how they talked
him into that.
Did or is rumored to?
Ah, he does a lot of shit.
I mean, he does
tours now, right?
I want to say he did
the last three
Halloween movies.
Did he?
Okay, well,
got to make money, right?
I love that
Tom Asson Atkins
is going to sneak up
to this machine.
Right.
And he knows the code.
Sure.
Even though he's never really seen this machine in person.
Well, just try 666.6. It'll probably work, right?
He's like a hacker.
I mean.
Oh, he is a doctor.
What was it? Y'all said earlier, they could have just pushed one button instead of like 17,000 buttons and then 12 mobs.
The button that says play, you know.
They were doing this play in a video.
Oh, man, this is crazy.
Time for the big giveaway.
Time for the big giveaway.
Yeah.
I feel like some...
I'm blown away, Phillips.
I feel like sometimes this plan may be too complicated.
How did we go from Irish to German to Russian?
I don't know.
I'm not exactly sure how this works.
Wow.
He put the code in.
He put the code in and it's playing the video and he's dropping those shamrock coins down there.
Right.
And all the pins oil is coming out of their mouths.
Yeah, killing all of them.
And they all explode?
Yeah.
That's why he's Tom Ackon.
That's right.
So is it Stonehenge powering the Androids?
Sure.
Maybe.
Philip, it's got to have something to do with UFO.
All we know is now Devo is dead.
damn right before whip it
oh look out
we got some weird
so is that the
the stone hen stone there
so he even appreciates
time back
right
very good mr bond
tick-tok
mr wick
you have fooled
my entirely
too elaborate plan
he turns into a
marshmallow man and disappears
what in the
Fuck.
Burn it all down.
Even though it's not really burning,
you can obviously see that.
Sure.
That's some damn good CGI.
That's better than most of the movies now.
Yeah, that's a good point.
All right, Philip.
This movie's about to wrap up.
Is this when Michael Myers gets here?
Yes.
He sure does.
He's in the back of the car.
He accidentally.
He's been there the whole movie.
He's going to,
to pop up with a Firefly family.
He's just walking
across the road like Bigfoot
and they're running over.
But he knows what you did last Halloween.
He's got a hook for a hand.
Oh no?
Uh-oh.
Well,
that's a fist.
You can't get a robot.
In more ways than one.
Those boobies are too perfect.
Right?
Boom.
there you go im night would have been proud with that one huh oh yeah what is with the arm over there
i'm having more fun watching philip and his expressions right always watching the movie than
then watching the movie itself why did her arm fall off she's a robot well sound like very solid
solidly built robot.
Yeah.
I don't even think that arm was holding on to the door when they crashed.
Was it?
Robots are not that durable.
I might take the wrist of her back home, though, and keep her in the arms.
That's bad to say, he's still probably going to Westworlder.
The robots weakness, a good strong pimp hand.
You guys remember that band called Craft Work?
Oh, yeah.
The robots.
Well, I see, I was going to say,
Kraftwerk was making their album down there, but I figured nobody knew who it was.
Okay.
Because all their equipment was computer stuff.
Sure, sure.
Seventies computer stuff.
Oh, yeah, man, they were before this.
Yeah, way before, yeah.
And what I wouldn't give for a good game of Pong right about now, man.
Missile commands way too complicated.
That's Michael.
That was not.
Oh, it's...
You had me going for a second, Brian.
Those corduoro pants
Slig as hell
That's right
Well
What do you think he's running to?
Well, he's saved the world, right?
Everything's good now
Nothing can go wrong at this point, right?
Now's where Michael Myers comes in.
Oh no, it's banana head.
It's Mac tonight.
Oh, yes.
He's like black gomer pile.
Time for the giveaway.
That's right.
Wait a minute.
I thought you blew everything up.
How are they still going to do?
How are they still going to kill all the kids?
Why are they still playing the Halloween commercials?
Right?
Syndicated channels.
I guess you should have used the new.
You got to turn that one off.
Right.
It's time.
It's on every state.
Brian, Brian, you got your mask?
I actually do have one.
Uh-oh.
Nine o'clock tomorrow night, man.
But again, see, here's the problem.
Is that nine o'clock Alaska time?
Or nine o'clock Texas time or nine o'clock London, London, England time?
It's one of those mysteries.
It's kind of like gremlin.
So let's see, it would hit Australia first, right?
Don't they have the first time zone?
So after everybody started freaking out there and snakes started coming out of their head,
don't you think they'd pretty much stop all the commercials everywhere?
That sounds about par for Australia.
That's not saying, that's pretty normal over there.
So they're like, good commercial.
All right, man.
Well, Rick, that's a big spot of coming out of your face.
Crikey.
Bigger than normal.
Oh, man, thanks for joining us, Ricky.
I'm glad you could make it, dude.
Yeah, man.
It's a blast.
Sorry,
Nas never jumped in
That's the only thing missing
But yeah
He's my brother
What are your own
Frightmare plans this year
Are you not going to make it?
That's the plan
If everything goes well
We're going to plan on being there
So being that John Carpenter's
Going to be there
That's pretty cool
That's it all ties right in
Doesn't it?
Yeah, show enough
Well Brian what are we doing
Next week, ma'am
I don't have the schedule
In front of me
I'm so unorganized this week
Let me pull it up
Real quick
I think
It scares me
while I whip this out.
Hey, me too, dude. I didn't know we were recording until we were recording it.
I think we're finally getting to Nez's Patreon picks.
Oh, no.
Ricky, you may want to be here for this one.
Uh-oh.
1980s, little darlings, 1995's clueless, and 2004 as Mean Girls.
Wow.
Yes.
You know, I'm not bad at that.
Philip?
Okay, well.
I'm sure it'll be fun.
Lots of good horror movies, huh?
Yes.
It was fun.
We did say any movies, pick any movies.
There you go.
That's true.
That's true.
Well, see,
Mean girls are good.
I got to say.
I will tell you this.
My wife, AJ,
she's kind of pulling a fast one on us, Brian.
She was a patron,
and I guess she changed her bank account,
and she said, hey, y'all haven't taken any money.
out of my account in a few months.
And I said, well, you're going to have to enter your new bank account info.
So she said, oh, that means I get to pick three more movies.
So I think last time she picked what, that one with, what was that romantic movie
in Ireland or something like that?
God damn it.
The one with Gerard Butler in it?
Yeah, that one.
Yeah, that one.
And what was it?
Two other, oh, dirty dancing.
A shitty family of the
Phantom of the Opera movie?
That was Lonnie Langston.
Oh, yeah, that was my pick.
That was my
Hockey Horror Picture show.
But we really need to do
Phantom of the Paradise, guys.
The Paradise is my jam.
That's my jam.
That's pretty much my favorite movie
of all time.
All right.
That's Brian DePaulma as well.
All right.
Well, check us out at
thehorroriturns.com.
And, uh,
Where does everybody check you out, Ricky?
Oh, well, Helming.
The Helming Power Hour is available pretty much anywhere you listen to podcast.
Just look us up.
It's Helming Power.
H-A-I-L-M-I-N-G-G Power Hour.
Not Power Half Hour yet.
We're at the Half Hour.
We are still at Legion Podcast, our home.
So if you pull up Legion Podcasts and listen to any of those shows, we're there too.
But yeah, Spotify, all that crap.
We're out there.
So just look us up.
All right.
Great, great, uh, Legion podcast has some great shit.
Uh, I guess it's been a lot on there.
Unfortunately, if you do go over there and folks, you are probably going to go down a rabbit hole.
But you'll enjoy it every step of the way.
Absolutely.
Thanks for having, guys.
Hey, thanks for coming.
As usual, thank you guys for all listening to another episode of The Horror Returns.
You know how to reach us, and as Brian said next week, it's going to be Nez's pick, so I'm hoping he'll be with us.
He said he will be there.
Be there or be square.
All right.
So, Philip, until the horror returns again.
Good night.
And happy, happy Halloween.
