From “Evil Dies Tonight” to “You Can’t Kill the Boogeyman,” we break down iconic kills, legendary quotes, and timeline confusion across every sequel, reboot, and retcon.

The Chee-Jex have taken over this studio for Halloween, Reckin' Baby.
Starting point is 00:01:23 That's right. I hope Prepper keeps that in the top. Us remembering how much. many Halloween timelines there are? Or me not remembering. There are five and we have watched every single one of them. We officially just watched 13 Halloween movies together. We are the she-jacks. If you don't know us, we're the horror horse, for the scream queens. We are Roxy and Tara. I just feel like Tara and Roxy's better than Roxy and Tara. We are Tara and Roxy. That's better. Nailed it this time. Really, really solid. So one of the things that we do is we watch. We
Starting point is 00:02:00 a lot of different horror franchise on the channel. Yep. And we just did all the Halloween movies just in time to wrap for actual Halloween. Yeah, which is perfect. And so because the channel does these rankings sometimes, we were like, uh, that's us. Das's us. Das us. We're going to do it.
Starting point is 00:02:19 Yeah, 100%. But we couldn't do it alone because we don't know how to. So we wrangled in John. Yeah, we brought him on over. Yeah. Also, he knows way more about the franchise than we do because we do. He also comes in a freaking Michael Myers jumpsuit every day. I'm wearing it today.
Starting point is 00:02:36 He is wearing it. Along with your terrifier t-shirt just because. And do you remember, like two days ago, I was watching a scary, some, I don't even remember it, welcome to my life, don't remember the movie, I do remember it spooky, I came out of the bathroom, John was around the corner wearing this, and I went, oh, and then I went, oh, sorry, it was, it was literally just him. Well, listen, I wouldn't call John particularly scary. He's not.
Starting point is 00:03:02 I'd call him lovely, but if he was in that mask, it really might make a difference. So we have some goals today. All right, we've got some things that we've got to do. We are going to put together, and when I say together, I mean, Tara, we have to come together and merge forces here because we need to do an official Halloween ranking. We're going to go least good to most good. worst to best. The ones we hate to the ones that
Starting point is 00:03:29 we loved. Absolutely. And behind the scenes, I just need to let you guys know a few things. Tara and I have seen all these movies within the last month and a half and also, Tara and I have suffered... Well, not all of them within the last month. It's been a month and a half that we've watched all these. Roxy, we do suffer from...
Starting point is 00:03:47 And that's what I'm about to tell them. We do suffer from extreme trauma in our lives in a way that makes it so that we don't always remember movies. So the amount of effort that Tara had to put in to then remind us what all these are. We have an insane rundown. We also, it's ridiculous. It's a rundown of every plot point that we have been like studying and remembering. Not only do we watch all the movies, but then we like rewatch them by reading all that. And we had to convince Greg to let us do this. And we had to get
Starting point is 00:04:14 him to give us $100 so that we could pick out this video. We're like, we can't have it. Just we, this has got to be she jack ready. Exactly. Come on now. And we had to get John to stay. extra late to help us out. So because of all of that, it'd be cool if you guys like, comment, subscribe. And ring the bell. Ring the bell.
Starting point is 00:04:35 Exactly. Just because of this video, though. Imagine if this drops and they're like, subscribe heavy. Exactly, Tara. Subscribe heavy. That's exactly what it is.
Starting point is 00:04:46 But we also have watched a ton of other horror franchises. And so at the very end, just as a little bonus for you guys, we're going to do a quick ranking of all the franchises. we've seen so far. Which is so many, you guys.
Starting point is 00:04:58 I think there's like 15 of them of the biggest horror franchises that we went through. So we'll talk about all that. But the time has come, my friend. Ooh, wow. Spooked. Tell me, what time is it? It's Franken time.
Starting point is 00:05:11 Okay. Here we go. I was thinking about making some kind of like, oh, this isn't a Mike Myers ranking. This is a Michael Myers ranking. We're not prepared. Would that have played well? Was that a funny joke?
Starting point is 00:05:23 I like, I mean, I like that. Andrew Gordon would have loved that. Yeah, you're right. I got to know my audience. He's somewhere giggling right now. He's out in his car giggling. I got to work on my dad jokes if I want to impress Andrew Gordon more. You do, you really do.
Starting point is 00:05:37 Yeah, what year did all these come out? Who directed each one? Oh, God. The directors I don't have, but I have the years. Yes. Well, we know. Okay, so here's what we know. The franchise started in 1978, and it went all the way through 2022.
Starting point is 00:05:51 And as of right now, we have no more. intentions of doing Halloween movie watch longs because I don't think anything has been nothing's out there announced but evil dies tonight so we know that it could come back tomorrow yeah yeah are we wrong John is there more Halloween movies coming oh I mean they're they're dealing with the rights at the moment I think they're just figuring out who's going to buy it and revitalize it next yeah don't revitalize evil dies tonight I think that was revitalized enough in that one specific movie about 72 times and nobody really wanted it.
Starting point is 00:06:26 Well, I think that's a great place for us to start, Tara. So since we are going, worse to best and we are hashing this out together while we are here, we have a few different contenders just from watching it that I know must be at the bottom of our list. Starting with resurrection, that is a contender for bottom.
Starting point is 00:06:46 That was the Tyra Buster Rhymes one. It was. We hate loved it so much. So we actually added trick-or-treat mother-effers to the back of our she-jected gear. Which I was going to say, that line, just that line, might move it up. I know. So that it's not last because the trick-or-treat M-R-Fers, boy, oh, boy, did we laugh out loud? And did we put it on the sweatshirt?
Starting point is 00:07:09 Yes, we did. Trick-a-treat, my-b-b- I know. And there was some good things about that movie. Like, Katie Sackoff is in it. Yeah, she's great. And I know that that introduced her to some people. Obviously, she's like a sci-fi legend. Also, it was kind of a cool concept.
Starting point is 00:07:26 It was. It just was executed so poorly. What a bad script. It would just, what? The thing that both helps and hurts it is the fact that we have Lori in the beginning of it. Yeah, and never again. Yeah, because Michael be killing her and stuff. And it's like, so part of it makes it a better movie because she is in it.
Starting point is 00:07:50 And part of it makes it a worse movie because. it was so insane that they brought her back to kill her off so quickly. Like what? And like kind of promised us that she would be part of the movie. And then we're like JKJK, L-L, actually it's Buster Rimes. L-I-E-S. Lies. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:09 Yeah. It took me, I was like, Evil lies tonight. That's exactly what it is. So that's a contender. What else do you think should be like towards the bottom of the list when you when you think back on this franchise, which ones where you like, this cannot be within our top half. Oh, okay. Well, obviously, wait, I have to go to, I think it's three.
Starting point is 00:08:34 Oh, season of the witch? Yeah. The one without Michael Myers or Laurie Spurred. Shamrock, kill myself, and then turns into a cult and the lights and the big old statue thing and they're all like praying to it. Oh, yeah. Stonehenge. Yeah. Yes. Remember? What the hell was that? That is, it has to be in the ranking with, wait, we've got a, I know we do. But on that one for a second, on Season of the Witch, here's the thing, I think that if we redid rankings again, if we watched everything again. Yeah. And then we redid rankings, it is possible it could go a little higher.
Starting point is 00:09:10 Yeah. But we were, as newbie fans to this franchise, as new horror fans and as new Halloween fans. Right. Not knowing that we were about to watch a movie without Michael Meyer. in the Halloween franchise. Thank you. The entire time, I felt, I mean, it was disturbing. I think right before we saw John and John was like,
Starting point is 00:09:31 don't expect to see the people that you might know. And we were like, wait, what in the actual F? What does that mean? And I do like conceptually that they thought that this was going to be a franchise that didn't star Michael Myers. Like they thought that this, I understand that at this point, John Carpenter or whoever thought, we were going to switch it up every time
Starting point is 00:09:51 and it's just like movies based at Halloween but you had such success with doing one and two with Michael that I felt betrayed bamboozled L-I-E-S yet again I know so it's like the whole franchise built upon lies
Starting point is 00:10:07 true so I feel like that one has to be really low as well it's it's gonna be very low I mean that I mean just I just remember you know there is some cool stuff you know with the commercial playing and the song, and I like that theory of, like, the kids listen to it
Starting point is 00:10:25 and then the kaboom or whatever, they die. That wild, but again, not a great execution of that film. And I'm trying to look at the, what's the next one? That's, like, low as hell. Okay, so I know that we hated, we really didn't enjoy five and six. I think that we hated six even more. That was the curse of Michael Myers.
Starting point is 00:10:45 This was the one with Paul Rudd. Yeah. God. It's not fair that I say this is the one with Paul Rudd, and that's what we remember it by, because shout out to Paul Rudd, absolute Zaddy, so much love for him. Yeah. He has gone on to be an unbelievable actor, but there's a moment. Not in this film.
Starting point is 00:11:04 I don't know if it was his fault, Tara, but... I don't know. That's what we're... We were like, we love him so much. Maybe he was directed to do that. So there's a moment that lives in my head rent-free, despite you and I having very poor memories. Yep. There's a moment where he...
Starting point is 00:11:19 he's trying to break down a door and he takes it was like a fire extinguisher or whatever and he's banging against the door but he isn't he's just going like this and like stopping before he gets to the door totally and and we couldn't move on from it we couldn't we could not get past that nope and don't you remember he smiled too towards yes he said some weird lie and then he kind of went and i was like what what world are you in that somebody was like yeah do that and we'll add it To the cut? 100%. It was such a bummer for the timeline
Starting point is 00:11:52 because when we came back with four, we really liked. After Season of the Witch, we went to four. Yes. And then five got worse. And then six really, really was bottom of the barrel. Yeah. So I think it's time for us to try to pick an absolute last.
Starting point is 00:12:08 I think it would be between those three. So we're looking at Halloween six, the curse of Michael Myers. Yeah. We're looking at Halloween three, Season of the Witch. Right. And we're looking at Halloween resurrection. the one where trick-or-treat mother affers.
Starting point is 00:12:23 And may you never, ever rest in peace. Oh, my God. Tread lightly at the bottom of this list, right? Tread lightly. Because is one of these deserves so much higher than another? One of these has had a re-appraisal of late. I'm guessing that the one that had the re-appraisal is Season of the Witch. Correct.
Starting point is 00:12:46 Okay, that's... See, I always... I always felt that, John, I'm so happy to have you here. I always felt this instinct in my soul that the movie isn't as bad as I felt it was because I was so bitter. Yeah. Just so upset with what they did to us. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:02 Stripped us of Michael, stripped us of Lori. And give us no warning. In their prime. Exactly. But I don't know that the movie wasn't good. I just know it wasn't the movie I wanted. Yeah, it just, we weren't ready for it and we were bitter and resentful.
Starting point is 00:13:15 Yeah, we were. And that's not going to make a great movie viewing experience. A bitter jury is not a good one. It's not a jury of sound mind. Don't stamp you guilty right away. So, okay, so if we're going to leave the bottom place for two different options. It's got to be six. Well, because, well, hold on.
Starting point is 00:13:33 No, no, no. I think it's, but wait, do you remember that also just the other one that was Rob Zombie? And he, it was the, Halloween, too. And it was very ethereal and dreamy. and she was like, remember the horse, the white horse. Yeah, we struggled with this movie a lot. That one, I really struggle with two rocks. I, okay.
Starting point is 00:13:55 It's interesting that that has entered the chat now. I think it's a little higher for me because it was so violent. Yeah, they didn't have good kills. And so some of the kills were like, oh, my God. Yeah. It was so shocking that I feel like I give some of it a pass. It was nowhere near as good as Halloween, Rob Zombie's Halloween 1, which we love.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Which we loved. But Halloween 2, at least made me feel something. I'm with you on that. I am with you. That something was like, oh, but it was something. It was something. As opposed to, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:31 Okay, so. This is my favorite review of these movies. You know, sometimes you just got to feel in life. I feel like it, I feel really bad for, I, yeah. It's got to be resurrection. I think it's resurrection. I remember just going, who screened this, what producer sat there? They must have not.
Starting point is 00:14:52 They must have not screened it because not a bunch of people would go, yep, it's ready. In the nicest way possible, Buster Rhymes's performance is one of the roughest watches. And again, I don't know whether it was direction or what. Exactly, we don't know. And then remember, Tyra's just gone. Just gone. She's just in her little thing. And remember she makes like a weird call.
Starting point is 00:15:14 then she's drinking hot chocolate and then she dies. So at 13 officially, we have resurrection, which means that I believe at 12, we probably should place the curse of Michael Myers, the Paul Rudd one. Yeah. We were very frustrated by that one. We were, and then that moment,
Starting point is 00:15:32 I tell you, living rent free in your head, Roxy is absolutely right. I mean, literally, it's the only thing I remember so clearly. Fast forward to that part and you will see him do it and you will go, whoa, what? What's he doing? Exactly.
Starting point is 00:15:45 What is he doing? And why was that kept in the cut? Yeah, that was tough. Okay. So we officially ranked our last two places with Resurrection at 13, cursive Michael Myers at 12. What does that mean that we want to do for 11? Now, some of the contenders, season of the witch,
Starting point is 00:16:04 which again, we've acknowledged might not be a bad movie, but was not the movie that Taryn Roxy wanted. We've got Halloween two, the Rob Zombie one, which you were frustrated with, and so was I. I also want to throw into the ring Halloween 5, which was the revenge of Michael Myers.
Starting point is 00:16:21 Yeah. This one backed out from a very promising premise and so I have a hard time forgiving it. Because remember, at the end of 4, we had that Jamie touch moment and then Jamie P.O.V., she goes in, she'd be a murdering queen.
Starting point is 00:16:36 Yep. And we're like, oh my God, we're so excited for this next movie. But then we get to 5. And what happens? They were like, actually, let's make Daniel Harris' character mute for the whole movie. And we were like, but wait, that's the girl we want to hear from.
Starting point is 00:16:48 Exactly. And we wanted to see her go be a little psychopath. Exactly. And we didn't get to see a little psycho killer. She was in a freaking clown. Wasn't she? She was in a clown closet with a freaking knife. Like, what are we doing here?
Starting point is 00:16:58 Yeah, we walked it back. We also struggled with, I think this was the one we struggled with Loomis a little bit because he was just like shouting, yelling like the whole time where I was like, that has to be a direction thing because he's never done this. I've never thought that he was the worst part of. the movie in any of them. I thought he was so strong. This one, I don't know what happened. What were the redeeming parts of Halloween 5, the Revenge of Michael Myers? Like, why wouldn't this be third to last on our list? There's anything you remember about it that you, we're looking
Starting point is 00:17:27 at what even happened in this? Like, Jamie was mute, and then by the end she wasn't, but she still wasn't psycho killer girl. I mean, when he goes to that, the teens at a Halloween party, He does the pitch for it kill. I like that. But that's really, I don't remember much. Except the one thing I do remember is the end where I went, what in the actual F is this guy in black doing who was never introduced before who apparently is breaking him out of jail or breaking him out?
Starting point is 00:18:02 What is this? Tara, this might be our 11 seed spot. We really struggled this one. I mean, why? What? There's been a guy in. Black who's been helping Michael Myers out? That was crazy. That was crazy. Who thought this up? And then did it ever come back? I don't think
Starting point is 00:18:19 it did. And we touched on it in sick. Yeah, no, we still don't really know. I remember I think that we heard that there was a lot of studio notes for this and they were having issues. We heard that with this one. We then heard that with the Rob Zombie second Halloween movie. It seems like oftentimes in this franchise, creatives were at odds with studio. Production. Yeah. Production. And then that caused some continuity and strangeness. I remember how sometimes in this franchise, Lori's Michael's sister, and also remember how sometimes in this franchise,
Starting point is 00:18:51 Lori has daughter, and then sometimes in the franchise Lori has a son. And sometimes Lori's the aunt to a kid, but sometimes she's actually the mom. And so it's just like very, very confusing. Yeah, and those are all things. It's a lot.
Starting point is 00:19:03 And we know, five timelines, five timelines, baby. So at 13, resurrection, at 12, Chris of Michael Myers, at 11, Revenge of Michael. Yep. And now, I like this. Now I understand, now I feel like either season of the witch or Halloween 2 is a, it's a fair placement for either of these. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:22 How are you feeling? Well, also, sorry, throwing it in the ring. Halloween kills. Yeah. We really, we really didn't like that one. Evil dies tonight was a struggle. Evil dies tonight. Oh, get out!
Starting point is 00:19:37 Now say it 80 more times and it will still be less annoying. Hold on. I'll program it into one of these pads here. Please. That was, that was, we were so upset by that. By the guy. The poor freaking guy gets killed by the mob. Like, we didn't need to see that. Not really.
Starting point is 00:19:54 That was like, well, he, that's right. But they forced him to and then he could. He does that thing we can't say on YouTube. We see the whole unaliving on the sidewalk. Yeah. Until the very end. All the way down. And it wasn't relevant to Michael Myers.
Starting point is 00:20:08 And it wasn't relevant to the plot. They just, like, showed it to us for no reason. Right. So either season of the witch, Halloween kills, or Halloween 2 rob zombies, what place is lowest of those three for you? What's the next one? Oh, that's a good question because in Halloween kills, the firefighters accidentally released Michael Myers, which I thought was really stupid. You're very upset about that. That's so dumb.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Like, come on and write that better. but then Halloween 2 it's so weird where it's like haunted visions of his dead mother and like the one cool part is when the weird child thing happens like that all looked very very cool but like I do remember just the surreal dream like white horse stuff and I was like I don't know I'm with you I feel like your heart feels like Halloween 2 should be here and I'm okay with that is that what your heart's telling you Tara yeah instead of listen to your heart. Yeah, I think so. Okay, I think so. So in 10th place, we have, sorry, John, Halloween, too. You guys are both dead to me. Yeah, I know. I know. I hope Michael Myers
Starting point is 00:21:18 comes to both of your houses. Yeah, uh-huh. Uh-huh. We just saw him be put in the grinder at the That's true. Yeah, whatever that is. He's done. A lot of spoilers in this review. And he'll never be back. Reject Nation, you know those nights when you're starving? The fridge is empty. And you absolutely
Starting point is 00:21:36 don't want to cook or leave the house or heck, you might even be at an office and you've got a limited lunch hour. You don't want to spend any of that time driving on the road because time is precious. It's situations like this when Uber Eats saves M-Wa. I saw so many people using Uber Eats before I officially got on board and using Uber Eats is super easy. What's awesome is you can discover new deals every day and choose from hundreds of restaurants and local stores. You just browse, order, track, and enjoy. All in just a few. Taps. At the studio, I can feed the whole team during a late night shoot without stopping the work. Get back to work and I'm gonna order you food. And at my home, I don't have to pause the movie we're watching. I could just order from my phone. Ah, stress-free. No dishes, no traffic, no. What do we do for food? It literally turns it into food is already on its way. And ladies and gentlemen, if you've never tried Uber Eats before, now is the perfect time. You can use code Real 15 to get $15 off your first order of $20 or more. Once again, code real 15 to get $15 off your first order of $20 or more.
Starting point is 00:22:41 First time customers only, terms and fees do apply. Link your description box and pink comment or the easiest way you can scan this QR code right here on screen and make your first order today. All right. So we have to get to our ninth place position. I'm just going to say this. Seater of the Witch has made it way too far. We have to put it there. We struggle.
Starting point is 00:23:03 I really did not like it. I'm ready for the fans to be. pissed at us because John has told us that people like this one. I'm seeing on Rotten Tomatoes has a better score than a lot of the other Halloween movies. I understand that diehard fans probably think of this as a
Starting point is 00:23:18 standalone movie and really enjoy it and enjoy that one second on TV we see Michael and Lori. But I have to be true to myself. Yeah, you do. We both do. This movie really upset me because it was what I wanted. And that is what... I think the reason it's gotten
Starting point is 00:23:34 that far is because it's 31 days till Halloween to Halloween to Halloween and it's like silver shamrock. Sing it, Tara. Kill me. Back her up, John. See? And then, yeah, see, see?
Starting point is 00:23:49 And that's why. That's why. Just come at us in the comments. Tell me that you are sold on this. Why? Because the song, it's up in here. It's in the ticker-talker. You're trying to give them credit.
Starting point is 00:24:02 I get it. It's a good little jingle. Stuck in my head for days. didn't like the culty weird stuff at the end and kids watched the thing, they die, the mask part. I wasn't, I wasn't enthralled. I was a little bored, I think, at times. Thrill me.
Starting point is 00:24:19 We watched that movie like, huh? Yeah, like what? The mask part and that one, like, there were just some scenes that I was like, the pacing and this is... But I will give it this. Of all the movies, this is the one I think deserves a rewatch.
Starting point is 00:24:35 by us. Yeah, I actually do agree with you because I do really like that the commercial plays and like the screen cuts to black. I love that kind of stuff. That juice right there is awesome. So yeah, we can, now that we're not bitter and resentful and we've just gulped it down,
Starting point is 00:24:52 we've swallowed it. Now we can just go. That's what she said. Yep, we'll just go, well, we've already been here. Let's give it another go. Okay, so continuing to look at the list, now we've got as contenders for our number eight spot Halloween kills we've already talked a little bit about why why we didn't
Starting point is 00:25:10 dig that so much uh I also want to say that we were not as impressed by the original Halloween two as a lot of other people were right so that is that's interesting to just like keep in mind for us yeah that one that one wasn't we weren't super stoked we didn't love it that that is the one though you know that's so weird where Lori is revealed as his sister And that was quite a reveal, quite a twist, that we went, what? And then we went, oh, that makes sense. That's why he was, like, now going after her, why he was found there. And then that was all thrown out the window.
Starting point is 00:25:48 That's the thing, Tara. The fact that it was thrown out of the window makes me think of the movie less fondly. I agree. I know there's so many other timelines, but knowing that John Carpenter didn't like that, didn't like the sibling, like that he didn't want that to be why. And then knowing that we pivot away from that, in the majority of other timelines, not all other timelines. Right.
Starting point is 00:26:09 It just, it's, I don't think it should be placed at eight, but I just wanted to remind us, we don't want to forget about that one. It makes it away all the time. Right. We didn't feel that. No, no, no. So we're dealing right now with Halloween kills.
Starting point is 00:26:23 Yeah. And I kind of think that this spot goes to Halloween kills. Yeah. I think, I think you're right because, you know, that, I mean, evil dies tonight. Oh, God. I mean, and it's just sad. Evil dies to die!
Starting point is 00:26:41 And it didn't. It really didn't. And it didn't. The rider's room to me, it was just lazy. I was like, I don't think you know what else to write or something. Yeah, that was brutal. So we officially have our bottom six, just as a reminder to everybody. At 13, we have resurrection.
Starting point is 00:26:57 At 12, we have curse of Michael Myers. 11, we have Revenge of Michael. At 10, we have Halloween 2, the Rob Zombie one. Nine, we have Season of the Witch. and at eight we have Halloween kills we are at the halfway point of this so I'm checking in with you John are we going to be ostracized from the horror community how are we doing
Starting point is 00:27:13 I there we go I think so far you're doing okay I think this is a respectable bottom half there are going to be people who love five who come out and talk to you they're going to be people who have three who come out and talk to you but uh you know I think you're doing all right which one was Halloween two in where do we rank that we ranked that already Rob Zombi
Starting point is 00:27:32 Rob Zonby? Rob Zonby on low yeah that was at the number 10 is fourth from the bottom all right i'm all right with that yeah okay you're like i just want to make sure yeah because i was i didn't dig it i need i need it to be yeah this is where it actually gets a little bit harder terra because now we're working with movies that we enjoyed yeah for the most part for the most part so here's here's what we have left tell me so we have the first one the first Halloween classic Halloween two yeah where laurie becomes the sister we have Halloween four, the return of Michael Myers. He kills the ambulance crew. He escapes that one.
Starting point is 00:28:09 And then we also have H-2O. We know we love that one. Yo, dog, I don't know that other people felt the way that we did, but... I know, but... H-2-O has stayed with me. Talk about trauma. Yeah. Yes to that one. Yes. Okay.
Starting point is 00:28:22 And then we also have the Halloween Rob Zami, the first one, which we loved. We really like that one. And then we have... You guys are no longer dead to me. Good, good. We've come back. We know we have the Halloween 2018 and Halloween ends. That ignores all the sequels. And we love that one.
Starting point is 00:28:41 And then Halloween ends. Okay. So I'm feeling really good about where we are so far. Yeah. And I am curious how you feel about Halloween 2 versus Halloween 4. Which of those do you prefer? Now, Halloween 2, it's the second. in the franchise. It was a respectable sophomore
Starting point is 00:29:05 movie. Yeah. But Halloween 4 had a good place in our heart because we disliked Halloween 3 so much because we were missing our people. Yeah. So literally to even hear the title, Tara, I remember we like cried a little bit of happiness because it was the return of Michael Myers and we were like, yes. Yes. That's what we've been wanting. The return of Michael Myers. This is also the first time we see Daniel Harris, who is huge to this franchise. We see we're seeing her as Jamie, which she later on goes on to be Annie,
Starting point is 00:29:36 but she was when we, this was actually pitched to us and we thought we were going to go in the direction of her being the next kind of Michael. That was very exciting, that end reveal. We were like, oh, right. So we had love for that one. Two is kind of cool because of the setting. Yeah. And we did kind of dig the sibling angle.
Starting point is 00:29:57 We did. Back and forth on it. Yeah, we were back and forth. I just, I feel like it might be four, but, I, I, four is better or four is worse? Four is worse. But what about, okay, so if we think Halloween four is worse, then what about Halloween four versus Halloween ends, which we just saw 30 seconds ago? So we know we remember that one. Because we struggled a little bit with Halloween ends as well.
Starting point is 00:30:26 We like some parts. Yeah, we did. We like some parts. But Halloween Ends ultimately introduces a brand new character to the entire franchise and decides that Michael Myers is no longer the main villain of the franchise. Instead, it's Shane, Tommy, Smith, Bob, what's Connor? What's his name? Right. He had a name.
Starting point is 00:30:49 Do you know it, John? Sorry, give it to me one more time. The guy from Halloween ends who's the villain that isn't Michael Myers. Oh, oh, you mean my man, Corey? Corey, there we go. I mean, Corey. What's his last name? It's like Corey Craven or something like that.
Starting point is 00:31:04 Cory Cunningham or something. Cunningham for Sean Cunningham. So, okay, that's a good question. I enjoyed it enough, but did we enjoy it more or less than Halloween 4? Yeah. Halloween 4 without Lori.
Starting point is 00:31:19 Right. Well, it's just, it was tough. Like, in the notes, I was like, you know, when he kills, like, he gets out of the ambulance and he just like kind of randomly starts killing people. takes that jumpsuit and then he murders like the police townspeople and then we see the Jamie and the sister flee like through the streets and I don't I don't remember being excited
Starting point is 00:31:41 or very scared in four but I also in what we just watched a couple of times was I got some scares that's a tough question I don't I don't know ends maybe maybe we put it ends there so we go Halloween ends at seven and then we do Halloween four at six. Right after, I think. So at the seventh position is Halloween ends. Yeah. Which was fine. And then at the sixth position is Halloween four.
Starting point is 00:32:13 Yep. Which is the return of Michael Myers. Okay. Okay. So now, Tara, we've got some heavy lifting to do. Holy tamale. In the fifth position, I would like to pitch to you. Yeah, Halloween 2.
Starting point is 00:32:32 Yeah, you know what, in going and looking at all of these, absolutely. Oh, hands down, because of what we have left, yes, because I do remember, remember how this was the one where Lori is like out in the car. Isn't she in the car? Yeah, outside of the hospital. And like that one, I remember calling it out being like that one guy that was also in the car. it was it like the plot it got weird the one thing i did like is the gas going on and and him and um basically executing himself with michael to kill him but then he didn't but then exactly but then he didn't but i did like that moment so i would say absolutely too okay that's a good move now we have
Starting point is 00:33:16 Halloween two in our fifth position yep so what we are working with still is Halloween H2O Halloween Rob Zombie and Halloween 2018 There is a theme here which is that we clearly like the way that a lot of these timelines start Yeah
Starting point is 00:33:34 Anything called Halloween Which is the Rob Zombie one The 2018 one and the OG one Yeah Those are all top tier for us H2O has like the most special place in our heart I think this is going to be a really difficult Top 4 for us to discover right now
Starting point is 00:33:48 Okay Okay Okay so let's do this All right, I'm hyping us up here. Okay. I'm a little concerned. Let's go through each one of these. I'm a little concerned about how high we have H2O for the fans,
Starting point is 00:34:04 but I need to block out the noise and really remember, we loved this so much we didn't stop talking about it. I agree. Because of where Lori was at in her life. In her life. Because of the setting of this one at the school, because of the Josh of it all. Yeah. Bring back heart in it.
Starting point is 00:34:23 Let's go. We love this one so much that we wanted to see more of this. When she is in the parking lot by herself at the school and she's like, Michael! And we got like goosebumps. Like it sounded wakadoo, wild and saying like goosebumps all over our body. We were just like, it's back. We're doing it. Yes.
Starting point is 00:34:46 And we also got goosebumps at that one shot when they come to the door. At the door. Yes. Amazing shot. And we always will remember that with the circle on there. Forever. You see both their faces. It's so good.
Starting point is 00:34:54 This one is so good. All right. So that's how we feel about H2O. Let's touch on the original Halloween movie, which we haven't touched on yet. Yeah, you're right. I have to imagine, and John can correct me if I'm wrong, but I have to imagine this is number one on the majority of people's lists. Agreed.
Starting point is 00:35:10 Agreed. Because it started the entire thing. Yes. And it deserves its respect. It really does. I mean, he's a little freaking clown weirdo that killed a sister while she was naked. like he's Wackadoo freaking wow, cuckoo freaking bananas
Starting point is 00:35:25 Cuckoo LaRue dude Yeah and it also is Has the most heavy lifting to do On account of the fact that we are We need to believe That this man, supernatural or not We've had that debate before Right
Starting point is 00:35:39 That all of these things can happen And still he can keep popping up Yeah Where this gets knocked a little bit for me Is remember I thought that Lori's friends were a little annoying God, that one girl was such a bee. But that was kind of also
Starting point is 00:35:56 the point. Because she died yeah. Yeah, and I like when they make characters not that likable and then kill them because then I'm not as mad about it. Right, right. So that was good. Super great kills because we really start with him, you know, knife in the sister. And then
Starting point is 00:36:12 he strangles and slits Annie's throat in the car. He impales Bob against the wall with the knife. That was sick. Strangles Lydia with to frick the phone cord. That was sick. That was great, right? And then we get to where Lori does knitting needle, the needle, the needle, and then the coat hanger,
Starting point is 00:36:30 which was dope because we always love. When they're resourceful, you use your environments, find, you could find a weapon anywhere. And she did. I'm with you and all that. Let's talk about Rob Zombie's Halloween. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. So I think our expectations were a little low going into this one because some people were
Starting point is 00:36:48 referring to this as like white trash Halloween and we didn't know what that meant right but also in passing we've heard john for years talk about this movie um so i i am certainly in the minority on this movie yeah but i guess we are too because we walked out like that movie was awesome and while it was a different origin and while i understand that some people were annoyed because they were doing a switch up of Rob, of Michael Myers, to me, I feel like that's what a franchise that's being taken over and rebooted is supposed to do. Right. I don't think you're supposed to tell the same story or I'd just go watch the original one.
Starting point is 00:37:29 Exactly. So this is the only movie in the franchise where I really, I feel like this took the biggest swing because they were like, we're going to tell something completely different and it is going to be in a different tone with different style. and different origin, and it all landed for us. It really did, especially when they're at the hospital. How creepy is that? And what a great shot went with the squares?
Starting point is 00:37:54 And you're like, what's going to happen? Wait, what squares? Wait, that was that Halloween? No, that was the other favorite. Yes, I am, and I did love that one. No, okay. Yeah, tell me. Wait, Rob Zombie.
Starting point is 00:38:07 Wave at me. Okay, no, no, no. He, uh, this is the, remember, the beginning with the abusive person that you thought you were like ooh that guy's bad about the dad and I was like no Tara he's fine and then he was not fine very bad yeah and this is my taste in men
Starting point is 00:38:24 so we're now starting to understand we're understanding Roxy at a core level he kidnaps Lori brings her the old house yet this is the one where also we get Daniel Harris coming back and but as a new character which is a really cool homage and remember she was like I'm actually not a little girl anymore more, ta-ta, here they are.
Starting point is 00:38:44 And we were like, there they are. Wow, there they are right here. Yeah, this one was a lot more boobyed. They're real and they're spectacular. I think after discussing this a little bit, I think that while we were pleasantly surprised, probably four on the list would be Rob Zombie's Halloween. I think so because like in the end,
Starting point is 00:39:07 when Lori shoots Michael in the face with the revolver and then she's like sort of screaming over his body a little onshore. I thought that was a little, it was a little underwhelming. Okay. Yeah. So at number four, we have Rob Zombie's Halloween. The movie we haven't talked too much about
Starting point is 00:39:24 is the 2018 Halloween movie. Love it. Love it. That's the one that I, yeah. The ending of that movie, I almost think that that movie would be number, it still might be number one on our list, but I almost think if that was the last movie of this entire franchise, it would be number one on our list. Agreed.
Starting point is 00:39:39 Because when we hear it's not whatever, it's a trap. Right. And all three of these women are coming together and dealing with generational trauma about this one thing. And Judy Greer is so kick butt in this. And Jamie Lee Curtis is so kick butt. And I don't remember the granddaughter's name. But that actress is stellar. And I feel bad that I don't know it.
Starting point is 00:40:00 And maybe John will tell me what it is in a little bit. But their dynamic was sick. I also love having somebody that's annoying the piss out of me. So that little boyfriend mofo who dropped her phone and gaslit her after he freaking cheated on her. She cheated gaslit, dropped her phone in the pudding. Hate him. Piss right off.
Starting point is 00:40:19 Absolutely. And I love it. And we love the twist of because they set up to make the daughter. What's her name again? Judy Greer. Thank you. I don't know what her name is. To kind of seem like a little like weak or whatever.
Starting point is 00:40:34 When she's down there because I'm like, got you. Exactly. Exactly. Like so good When I can't do it Can't do it And then she's like
Starting point is 00:40:44 The got that gotcha moment Got me Gotcha It got you I was like Oh sorry Judy Greer plays Karen And Andy Matichack is her daughter
Starting point is 00:40:56 Allison What is it Andy Matichick? Yeah Allison is the character I think that Andy Matichack Should start booking a ton of things Because maybe she has But she's so good
Starting point is 00:41:06 They're all great so all right that's the current that's Halloween 2018 say yeah it's not it's not a it's not a like a basement it's a trap and then they like when those freaking things the last thing I'm going to say is when
Starting point is 00:41:21 those things when she hits the thing and they go like that and they close them in there and then she turns on the gas and the gas goes around the entire house her plan is like I'm I will take you down I'll burn you alive that to me she grabbed all
Starting point is 00:41:37 all the weapons, and she performed the way I wanted her to. There was no weakness there. They set it up as if these women might be a little dumb and a little weak, especially when Heather didn't pick up the freaking weapon to begin with. She was like a little, but then. Who's Heather? Heather Greer. No, Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 00:41:56 Judy freaking Greer. Playing Karen? Karen. It was crazy when Heather didn't pick it up. I was like, who might have. Heather was not there. When Greer slash Karen. seemed a little weak, whatever.
Starting point is 00:42:09 I got annoyed at that. I called it out in the movie, but then they really turned it around. I love that, and so did the granddaughter. Granddaughter came out of it. All right, Tara, so I'm starting to feel a lot of pressure and a lot of anxiety about this top three. Because if I'm being 100% honest with myself.
Starting point is 00:42:27 Yeah. If I'm being 100% honest with myself, if I am being 100% honest with myself, she's going to go. I don't think the original Halloween is going to. going to be in my is in the position number one i know i think one for you at b h2 oh i'm going i honestly don't know if it's that or halloween 2018 like just re-talking about it with all these women it was so good i know but that i don't want to insult the fan base because i know that the first
Starting point is 00:42:57 Halloween but if i'm just being honest with myself yeah we loved it i think i prefer Halloween 2018 and H-2-0 to the original Halloween movie. How are you feeling? Hmm. And the H-2-0 over the first one. I did feel a lot of excitement at the end of 2018. I know. I really did, okay?
Starting point is 00:43:25 I know. I got goosebumps during the H-2-0, but maybe the ending, you know, wasn't like, But, I mean, it was still very good. You know, I... You know, I... You know, I do think that the first one, but here's what I'm... The only reason I'm going to say, the first one can't be the third one for me
Starting point is 00:43:53 is because it just, the clown and the kid and he's a trial. It's so good. It's so good. It's so wakadoo. What do you prefer? Okay, so if we're not putting Halloween. So we need to sign between H2O. Right.
Starting point is 00:44:04 Right. So between H2O and Halloween 2018. I got to go 2018 before H2O. Which one? Which order? 2018 is better than the H2O. So in our third place we're putting H2O? I think so.
Starting point is 00:44:18 And, you know, we hate to do it. We hate to do it. I think Roxy hates to do it. I hate to do it. It's killing her. But the original Halloween is our second place one. It, it, it. Do you honestly feel?
Starting point is 00:44:31 this way. Don't let me bully you. Be truthful with yourself. Say it out loud. That's from Twilight reference for John. Say it out loud. Another franchise I covered, very similar. This is the skin of a killer, Tara. You know, listen, I'm just going to base it on the Halloween decorations. If we want to go there, we're going to throw it. We're going to throw my opinions out and just base it. If we're going off Halloween decorations, listen, 2018, they had more. The first one, they didn't have any. Where were the trick or traitors? I can't be how you judge this.
Starting point is 00:45:06 Where were the pumpkins on there? When the kids are running around, there's no lights in there, no pumpkins on the porch. They missed that one. That's the case. We can put that one second and put 2018 first. If that's not the case, I like that he's an eight-year-old clown and he kills his sister. He's freaking psycho. And I would put that number one.
Starting point is 00:45:27 And then freaking 2018 after. So it, okay I don't know that we could base this based on decorations. That's one. It's too hard for me. I support the Halloween decorations rubric. Rank these by how Halloweeny they are. Well, it is crazy. We were shocked in the first one that there was like
Starting point is 00:45:48 very little trick-or-treaters. Where is it? Rank the Michael masks. Oh, people have really hot takes on that. They really do. But okay, in your in your heart is your number one favorite movie in this franchise, the original Halloween movie? Because I'm okay with that being number one. I'm just letting you know that if I'm being honest with my heart, it's number two.
Starting point is 00:46:11 This is tough, and it's all on you. Do you feel the weight of the world's on your shoulders right now? Okay, you know what? Because of how, nope, I'm going to go with you. Here's my reasoning. Yes, Halloween decorations. Where's the Halloween juice in the first one? I don't know, except in the title sequence.
Starting point is 00:46:30 because Lori is a freaking badass she prepped she has those weapons she is the girl who grabs a freaking weapon and then you know who else is the granddaughter and the daughter even though we're a little Heather yeah
Starting point is 00:46:46 her let's go Heather woo even though we're a little up and down on it with her I'm I'm with because of how strong of a character and how well that was written how
Starting point is 00:46:59 exciting that was she had a plan everyone thought she was cuckoole-lure and then it was like i'm gonna show you like here's why i did all of this and it paid off and it paid off in such a fun way we built to it for 40 years and it's such a good there's one other piece of dialogue in that movie if it's not evil dies tonight it's 40 years ago oh yeah yeah you're right that's how we should I didn't know that it's 40. Go with your hearts, gang. I would say this, look, you are allowed some leeway. I mean, you're doing well in that the original is in the top three.
Starting point is 00:47:41 I think a lot of people will be at peace with you if that one lands at least at number two. But regardless of that, go with your guts. I think that what we did was H2O at 3, Halloween 78 at 2, and Halloween 2018 at 1. and I understand that we might get some heat for this and bring it on, baby, because you know what else was hot when they lit him on fire? Yeah, man, and he's that shot?
Starting point is 00:48:12 Give me a break. He's looking up with the max. And we, I think that it also speaks to when you and I join this franchise because I do think that a lot of people, nostalgia is a huge factor. We didn't have that for this franchise because we're brand new.
Starting point is 00:48:27 So obviously sometimes a movement movie that's made in 2018 might hold up a little more than something in 78. Not always, but sometimes. You know what we did really love in 78, what they did right? Everything. Exactly. Is that Lori is a resourceful, smart girl who looks around and goes, what can I use as a weapon? And you know me, I'm always yelling at everybody.
Starting point is 00:48:51 Grab that freaking weapon. Grab the thing. Grab the freaking lamp. With the weapon. Grab it. Now, she was so resourceful in that. I think what really paid it off, she got even... John tried to help you grab a weapon, almost took out the whole studio.
Starting point is 00:49:07 Oh, boy. Grab a weapon, baby. I have it. Grabbed it. Crushed it. Is that, you know... So are you changing your mind right now, Tara? No, no.
Starting point is 00:49:16 That in 2018, that is where that strength, times 20 really comes alive. Times 40. Times, but there we go. That's a good pun there. She got it for us. But do you see what I mean? it pays off there big time. That's why that's there.
Starting point is 00:49:34 So we have our official ranking, y'all. Yeah, we do. I'm going to run it down for you real quick. Oh, boy, here we go. And now I'm going to do it from best at our number one spot. Here we go. Here we go. Number one, Halloween 2018.
Starting point is 00:49:47 Number two, Halloween 78. Yeah. Number three, H-2-O, baby. Number four, Halloween Rob Zombies. Number five, Halloween two, the original. Number six, Halloween, return of Michael. Number seven, Halloween ends. Number eight, evil dies tonight.
Starting point is 00:50:05 Evil dies tonight. Just kidding. Halloween kills. Number nine, season of the witch. Number 10, Halloween two, Rob Zombies. Number 11, Revenge of Michael. Number 12, curse of Michael Myers. Number 13, resurrection.
Starting point is 00:50:21 Trick a treat, motherfucker. Exactly, John. Exactly. Exactly, John. Exactly. That's a very respectable ranking. Yeah. That's our official.
Starting point is 00:50:32 Is it? Okay, because we're new at this. Ooh, this is good. So now that we haven't been clouded by the internet, is it correct that the first Halloween is most people's number one and that Halloween 2018 might be a little further down? A lot of people really like that one and people of today's sensibility tend to prefer it because it's, you know, got a lot of the 70s nostalgia,
Starting point is 00:50:56 but it's also brutally now. You know, it does carry over some of that rob zombie brutality. And I know that while people do revere the original one, a lot of younger audiences today find it a bit boring. Or even Carpenter fans don't always rank it high. So, you know, there's a conversation there anyway. We did decently, Tara. We did good.
Starting point is 00:51:18 Let us know your rankings in the comments, obviously, guys. And before we get out of here, we told you guys, we wanted to do something extra special for you today because it's the first time that we've had a Shijak takeover of the studio and we've been doing every franchise under the sun except we haven't hit the scream franchise yet so of course we'll have to revisit once we do i'll read off what we did and then we'll we'll rank him we've done evil dead purge nightmare and elm street Halloween Friday the 13th child's play happy death day smile conjuring wrong turns yes and there's always a possibility that we've done more
Starting point is 00:51:48 than that and just can't recall so that's the list that we're going off of and i think that we can do this just straight up in order only because I know what our number one is. And so it's going to be easiest for us to do this. Our number one franchise, we don't shut up about it. We are absolutely obsessed with the... Should we wait to tell them, actually? Oh, we should wait. Let's wait. Let's wait. All right. Let's stay with our lease favor. All right, here we go. Our official rankings of all the things that we've seen, here's our official rankings. Let me pitch to you at the bottom of this should be wrong turn. I'm actually with you on that. That's a franchise in which I will never rewatch a single movie ever from no never it's it's very savage cannibal savage uh there was so much
Starting point is 00:52:31 cannibalism yeah there was so much and every comment on those videos terra every single comment on those videos is people saying i cannot believe you went through with watching this entire franchise yeah you're welcome i mean we are literally doing the lord's work yep that's how i feel all right so that's the in last place okay uh after that hmm i feel like we have been so 50-50 on the conjuring franchise there's some conjuring movies that we love but there's some that we really were meh on the nun movies we were not super into i think that should go next because you know annabel we absolutely adored we have to throw that in with the conjuring as well as the nun that's part of that universe and like sadly we're not going to pull it out and i think it has to
Starting point is 00:53:17 go the next i agree of yeah what's your pitch for third to last Uh, that one's tough. Um, they're all tough. Hmm. Oh, God. I don't, I, my assumption, it's going to be between happy death, they smile, evil dead, or nightmare Friday. That's like, it's so, it's really bad. I didn't name all of them. It's going to be between most of the remaining options, yes.
Starting point is 00:53:52 what what did you prefer between nightmare and friday i think i liked you know i thought that you know swamp boy is just ridiculous but um that's what we call him john yeah that's what i call that's that's what i call him oh i know i'm familiar with the she jack's lore team swamp boy yeah um you know oh god swamp boy he's so freaking weird when he comes out of that lake i'm telling you i might be sold on that but Then The Nightmare and Elm Street, some of those effects, that first movie is just, it's epic. It's epic. So that one is just, it's, I don't know, that's difficult.
Starting point is 00:54:32 I'm, maybe I'd go with Friday. I don't know. Friday, you like better or worse? I don't know. What do you think? I think that one of those two is, those are the next two for me because they had so many bad movies in their fantasy. I know, I'm with you.
Starting point is 00:54:48 Even though their OG movies are elite. did Friday have more bad we we end up going to space we end up crossing over with each other it's Friday it's Friday I forgot I forgot we went to frickin space are you kidding no we went to space for oh yeah for Friday mm-hmm okay yeah I was and I blocked it out of my brain because why so then the next is nightmare I think it is yeah which is sad there were some bad listen we are not ranking on the first movies of these we are ranking on the entire franchise. After that, okay, we really loved the purge movies. That's what started at all. I have a purge pillow. It's in the other room, but we loved those. I would go with either maybe
Starting point is 00:55:31 Evil Dead, Happy Death Day, or smile around there. I think maybe Happy Death Day because we loved the first one. You have the second one. You're actually right. Okay. We'll put Happy Death Day. And then, and it's crazy that we're putting Happy Death Day above Friday and Nightmare, but there's just less bad one. There's less bad. So that's how we're doing that. Yep. loved smile. Evil Dead is Greg's favorite franchise, so I don't think we can rank at this low without him torturing us. We also love those. We did love. We did love in the book and the lore of those are a lot of fun. So maybe we go Evil Dead and then smile. Wait, so Evil Dead lower on the list? Lower. Okay. And then smile because then after that we've got Purge. We've got
Starting point is 00:56:13 purge Halloween Childs Ply. I think, oh, I honestly kind of feel like though I liked Evil Dead. franchise more than I like the Halloween franchise because of some of the some of the movies were yeah we're bad some the Halloween I think we put I think we put Halloween after happy death okay okay evil dead and then smile okay I'm with how do you feel I'm with that I know this is a Halloween movie but so we're going Halloween yep evil dead smile evil dead smile yep and then we got to do purge right purge absolutely we loved purge And then that leaves us to our number one.
Starting point is 00:56:52 Yeah. Child's play. Always is going to be always. It's never not going to be child's play. We love Chuckie so freaking much. Absolutely. So, running this down for you guys, child's play, purge, smile, evil dead, Halloween, happy death day, nightmare on Elm Street, Friday 13th, the converse, wrong turn.
Starting point is 00:57:12 Wrong turn is so many miles below the rest of them. That is our official ranking of what the Sheejects have covered so far. What else should we be covering? You guys let us know. Yeah, please. We already know some things that you guys are thinking. Scream, obviously, we've got to get to at some point, but we are new to the horror game,
Starting point is 00:57:28 and we do this based on what you guys think that we should be watching and liking. I know that Lepricon's been on our list for a little bit, too. Oh, wow. I don't even know that that was a horror film. That's a thing. There's a thing called Lepricon. There's definitely a franchise.
Starting point is 00:57:43 Leprechaun's been to all sorts of places. He's been to the hood. He's in the space. He met Jennifer Aniston back before she was Jennifer Aniston. What? Oh, my God, that's wild. All right, just coming to you quickly, John, about our official Sheeject ranking. What do you think?
Starting point is 00:58:00 Yeah, tell us. Give us the cold, hard truth. I mean, I think you did pretty well. You know, some of the purists are going to be maybe upset that some of the classics are further down, partly too, because you need to, you know, there's a handicap here, like a couple of these, like, smile and happy death day. only have a couple movies and it's uh so the odds uh yeah i'm i think this is really fun and nice
Starting point is 00:58:26 and i think that i think that too you you have to admit that part of being a fan of many of these franchises is you know living through the ups the downs and having your own ranking of all those things so i don't think any jason or freddie fan would really argue that there aren't some better and worse installments i mean he goes to New York. He goes to New York. Oh, yeah, going in New York. On a boat. But he doesn't, I mean, the whole movie, we're barely there. He's not
Starting point is 00:58:55 even there, and then he's... Jason takes a boat to Manhattan. That was crazy. That was crazy. I mean, give me a break. That pulls it down. To what John just said, though, I will say, ask me on any given day what my ranking of what we've watched is, and it would change.
Starting point is 00:59:11 This is super duper, not definitive. I agree. This is based on my heart and soul. as of Halloween of 2020. Yes, truth, truth and facts. We're up, we're down. And then we're up again. And then we're all around.
Starting point is 00:59:25 But for the most part, I will say, what a successful first ranking we just did? If you guys love that we did this, then don't forget to like, comment, subscribe. Let us know. Shout out to the fact that we have all the sick merch as well. Rejectnation shop.com. If you guys want to be cool like us.
Starting point is 00:59:40 Go get it. He's in a terrifier shirt. She's in a Sheijex classic. This is another one for spooky season. that you guys can't get enough of which I'm so happy to hear. And obviously the new one, grab a freaking weapon and do it now.
Starting point is 00:59:54 I really hope that I have taught you guys in in yelling it so many times throughout all of these horror franchises that now, when you get scared, yeah, love that Halloween sweater. So good,
Starting point is 01:00:10 so good. Trick or treat, mother. When you get scared, the first thing that you do is you think grab a weapon, and you're welcome for that. Or that you do what I've taught you guys. Clap your hands. That's how you make sure that you never die in silence. Either one.
Starting point is 01:00:28 I support it. I think grab a weapon, but... Grab a weapon is choice one. It's first, but then next is... But then you've got to start clapping. You can't always read, you know... If you can't reach, we better start clapping. You got to start clapping.
Starting point is 01:00:41 You got to start clapping. Anything else that we need to tell the Halloween people, my Halloween queen. No, I'm just. I'm real proud of us, and I'm proud of you guys for leaving us a lot of likes and a lot of comments and watching this whole video. 100%. Thank you to John on the ones and twos. Yeah, man.

Please don't place that there. No. You guys did really, honestly, this is a very respectable ranking, all right? Woo-woo. All right.
