Hi everyone.
This is Emily.
Henley.
And Sammy here with a very special announcement.
We are doing an in-person live show in Los Angeles at Dynasty Typewriter on Wednesday,
July 9th at 730 PM.
We're going to be recapping Final Destination Bloodlines with special guest Lisa Gilroy. It's going to be so fun. There are going to
be some surprise segments and plenty of beta blockers. For us though, bring your own. We're
not doctors, so we will not be giving them out at the show.
And if you are not able to join us in person, the show is also available as a live stream
and it will be available for a week if you purchase live stream tickets.
You can get those tickets now at dynastytypewriter.com.
We are thrilled and terrified to see you there.
Happy Hell Shall I!
This is Emily, Henley, and Sammy, and you're listening to Too Scary, Didn't Watch.
Hi everyone.
Welcome to Too Scary, Didn't Watch, the horror movie recap podcast for those too scared to
watch for themselves.
I'm Emily and I am too scared to watch scary movies. I'm Henley and I'm also too scared to watch for themselves. I'm Emily and I am too scared to watch scary movies.
I'm Henley and I'm also too scared to watch scary movies.
I'm Sammie and I love watching scary movies and so I watch them so that you don't have to.
And we have a patron chosen episode today that I'm very excited for you guys.
This movie is one of the few movies in the past, I don't know, two years that's
genuinely really scared me.
Oh, okay.
Which is always very novel.
And I'm like, this is how people feel.
This is what it's like.
This is what it's like.
This is what it's like to feel fear.
To be scared of scary movies.
Whoa, and Sammy, correct me if I'm wrong,
but I feel like it's a really incredibly
most special day of the year.
Yeah. Currently.
Can you remind us?
We are recording this episode on my birthday.
3666th birthday.
36th is maybe.
My most devilish year to date.
Devilish, not evil, but devilish.
Not evil, but devilish.
Emily made these gorgeous backgrounds. You can't see it. If you're listening, you can't evil, but devilish. Not evil, but devilish. Emily made these gorgeous backgrounds.
You can't see it.
If you're listening, you can't see, but.
Well, I made them because I made hats for Sammy's birthday,
but I put the hat on and it got lost within the background.
How do you do that?
Is there like a website you go to
that will make party hats, custom party hats?
Yeah, maybe there's a website for everything.
I feel like Etsy also always has good party things.
There's a lot of custom websites you can use.
That's amazing.
Happy birthday, Sammy.
We love you.
Happy birthday, Sammy.
This will come out after her birthday,
so don't get confused.
Just know that right now, don't get it twisted.
In this moment, we're not lying.
It's Sammy's birthday.
I couldn't think of any better way to spend it than.
Oh my God.
Me too.
Me too.
My best friends talking about a movie that I like.
Just the three of us too.
It's been a while.
Just the three of us.
It's been a while.
It's intimate.
Feel so safe with you guys.
I'm so relaxed.
So relaxed.
I'm so at ease in this moment.
Yeah, wow.
Well, yeah, whole near, Sammy.
What a blessed, blessed day for us all.
If you feel if by the time you're listening to this,
you're like, wait, I did feel like a really positive energy
about a week and a half ago on a Sunday.
This is why you're shifting into Gemini season.
That's what was going on.
You're walking in.
Wow, what an exciting time.
Another exciting little bit of haunted housekeeping.
And I'm just gonna say, should I just say what it is?
Say, the floor is yours.
The floor is mine and I take it and I see it. And with the floor, I will say what I say. Say what you say, the floor is yours. The floor is mine and I take it and I see it.
And with the floor, I will say we have confirmed
a live in-person show in Los Angeles
as part of our Khelle Chella extravaganza
on Wednesday, July 9th, 7.30 p.m. at Dynasty Typewriter.
Tickets are available at d30 PM at Dynasty Typewriter.
Tickets are available at dynastytypewriter.com. And we really hope you can be there in person
because that'd be awesome.
But also not everybody lives here.
So it's streaming as well.
So it's streaming as well.
You can buy tickets to a live stream
to watch at the same time as our show is happening,
7.30 PM Pacific time,
but it's also available for a week after that.
So you can still watch it.
If you cannot join us there in person,
you can join us via the internet,
which isn't that really what it's all about?
Yes, it is.
And we have a special guest, Lisa Gilroy.
She's returning to talk about her favorite movie franchise
of all time, Final Destination, Bloodlines.
Bloodlines is the movie.
We're gonna be recapping Bloodlines,
which is, I can't remember if it's number five
or number six or number seven.
I think it's number seven, actually.
Hey, it's whatever one is the newest.
We're gonna have that figured out by Showtime.
We got time.
Yeah, Lisa was our guest for Final Destination two,
so we're very excited to have her back.
If you have listened to that episode, you can recall that she is very scared of scary
movies.
So she will not be watching this movie.
We will be, Emily and I will be watching it and telling her all about it.
And we're going to have a great freaking time.
Oh my God, we're going to have a great freaking time.
It's so exciting.
Dynasty is such a cool venue.
I've never been, I'm really excited.
So excited to do a show there.
It's really gonna be a great time.
I saw it's quite near WeSpa.
It's quite near WeSpa.
We're all going to WeSpa afterwards.
Meet us at WeSpa.
We'll all be, you guys come to the show
and then we'll all see each other naked.
No, but if you listeners-
I don't wanna do that.
No, we're not gonna be doing that.
But listeners, if you're in the area,
why don't have a little WeSpa day before the show
and you won't know what anybody else in the audience
looks like yet, so it won't be awkward.
It won't be awkward.
WeSpa's really great.
You can get ready there too. Bring your stuff.
You know?
We did that last year.
We did that and it was really fun.
But now that we've said it here,
we cannot do that this year.
We will not be doing that.
We will not be at WeSpa,
but you can and you should be,
if that's something you're comfortable with.
Regardless, you should also, you should be at the show.
And I'm very excited.
We're gonna, it'll be, you know,
we're gonna do our best to make the most
of that live in-person format.
We're gonna try to do some audience interaction.
I don't know.
I can't believe it.
We've got big ambitions.
I saw that someone on Instagram recommended
that I get the midsummer tattoo live on stage.
Live on stage.
Live on stage.
Live on stage.
I'm sure we can make that work.
Would that be boring or fun?
No, honestly, it would not.
I actually do know some, actually, I do know somebody who got a tattoo live on stage for
their show years ago.
How long does it take to get that tattoo?
Should I do it on stage?
It could be done in time.
Probably around the duration of the show, yeah.
You'd have to start right away.
We'd talk while you're getting it,
do the recamp, like.
We can make it work, Henley.
But there's a world, you could get a much smaller tattoo.
No, but if I'm getting a tattoo,
it's obviously gonna be the tattoo
that I'm supposed to share with both of you.
I'm not getting another tattoo.
Well, just so you know, Henley,
I've also started to think that.
I'm never gonna get a tattoo.
Sam and I already talked about getting another tattoo.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Oh my, I'm gonna have to get two tattoos on stage?
Well, you have to get one of them.
You have to get them on stage.
But we were talking about maybe we get like just a tattoo
for every anniversary.
What?
I'm gonna have a sleeve of tattoos
because you know we have to do this podcast till we die.
They can be tiny.
They can be tiny. I know, but if we do this podcast till we die. They can be tiny. They can be tiny.
I know, but if we do the podcast till we die,
even if they're tiny.
Well then yeah, by the time you die,
you'll have a full sleeve of tiny tattoos.
That's cute actually.
A full sleeve of just tiny tattoos.
It's really cute.
So I'm gonna think about,
maybe Henley gets a tattoo on stage,
maybe she doesn't, who's to say,
but one thing's for sure.
Only one way to find out. There's only one way to find out,
and that is get your tickets.
We are very, very excited about it.
It's gonna be an absolute thrill.
I can't freaking wait.
For all involved.
Also, I know I've said this a gazillion times,
but Lisa, if you don't, I'm sure most people listening
already know who Lisa is, because she's a goddamn star,
but if you don't, just look her up on Instagram
and just prepare to laugh until you pee.
Every single time I look at her.
But any clips.
Monitor your fluid intake that night
because my God, she's funny.
She's the funniest fucking person
I've ever met in my whole life.
She's so funny and I'm so excited she gets to be our guest.
I'm so happy.
Ooh, it's gonna be so fun.
Yeah, I can't wait.
It's gonna be so fun. We're so excited.
Very excited.
And we have another thing to celebrate, which is-
We do.
Oh, we're blessed.
Oh, we're so blessed because according to my calculations,
this week is our 300th episode.
And we didn't forget.
No, we didn't forget.
We didn't forget.
We planned to keep it really casual because you know, what's more celebratory
than just getting to do the thing we love to do
as we always do?
Exactly.
Yeah, wow, 300 episodes, really crazy.
Our gift to you for 300 episodes
is another perfect three month long hell cella.
Exactly.
We didn't forget that it was our 300th episode,
but if we had, it would probably be because
we're so excited thinking about and planning for
Two Hell, Two Chella, making it bigger and better than ever,
starting with a freaking show all together.
Well, you know, all who can be here together.
And yeah, we're doing this till we die.
So plenty of anniversaries ahead of us to celebrate.
300 more and 300 more after that.
And it just keeps going and going.
Just keeps going.
Wow. I love you guys.
I love getting to this podcast.
I love you guys so much.
I love our listeners so much.
And I'm very excited that we'll get to see some of you
in person.
Oh, what a dream.
What a life we live.
We're so, we're so blessed.
We're so lucky.
We are lucky.
And that's true.
And gratitude is important.
And I do, and I feel grateful.
Me too.
I feel very grateful.
I'm very grateful.
I'm also very grateful. I'm very grateful. Mm. I'm also very grateful.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Mm.
Mm.
And I was just also going to say keep an eye on our Instagram
for announcements of the movies that we're going to be covering
if you're curious for Hell Chella,
if you like to watch the movies beforehand.
But if there's like a big horror movie coming out this summer
that you're wondering if we're covering or not,
we probably are, yeah.
Probably not Clown in a Cornfield though,
just a few guys don't get.
If you already had your heart set on Clown in a Cornfield,
you are gonna be maybe a little disappointed, but.
We might cover it at some point, you never know.
You never know, there's infinity episodes left of this show,
so maybe someday,
but probably not in the immediate short term.
But other ones, you better believe it.
I feel confident that we can at least let people know
that the first episode of Hellchella will be 28 years later.
So.
I'm so excited.
We're starting it off with a bang. That's the one I'm most excited for, so. Yeah, and. So. I'm so excited. That's happening.
We're starting it off with a bang.
That's the one I'm most excited for, so.
Yeah, and that's what they tell you to start with.
Usually you wanna start with the thing
that you're most excited for.
That's the way to really build the excitement.
All three months long.
Exactly, start high and then just slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly go down in enthusiasm.
No, we're just, it's what it means is there's so much left to discover.
You know, we don't know what we don't know.
And that's the gift.
That's the beautiful thing about life.
I mean, life's-
And that's the beautiful thing about life is to live in a space of curiosity.
Yeah.
And that's what we've said from the beginning.
Curiosity and gratitude. Hellchella is just like life.
We're living in a space of curiosity and discovery.
And it starts great and it gets worse and worse.
Worse and worse.
Unless it doesn't, and you never know.
So, watch this space.
Watch this space.
Okay, I also must know, on this most important week,
did anything scary happen to my friends?
All right, speaking of birthdays,
I am in birthday party zone
with Silas nonstop birthday parties.
I guess everyone was having sex right around the same time
because there are about a gazillion children
who were born in late April, May or June.
So just nonstop birthdays.
And a lot of them have been great
because I know a lot of the parents,
they're like parents from his preschool.
So I'm familiar with them, you know,
it's comfortable, whatever.
But now and again, Silas, he's an extroverted boy.
And he gets invited to a lot of birthday parties and I just went to one today
where I didn't know anyone and you guys I need everyone to come together and brainstorm
small talk like what do you say what small talk are we using what are we talking about because
do you say, what small talk are we using? What are we talking about?
Because I was in the throes of a panic.
I was standing amidst a group of parents
I've never met before.
Silas is thriving.
He's like, he has his juice box.
He's never met any of these kids
and he's like spraying it on himself.
Everyone's laughing, he's laughing.
Everyone loves that.
I, however, am an adult woman
who cannot spray juice box on my face
and everyone thinks that's funny, that doesn't work.
Have you tried it?
No.
Instead, I'm saying things like,
so do you live nearby?
Duh, everyone fucking lives nearby.
Like you're all at the same fucking birthday party, you loser.
Or it's like, the weather is normal today.
Like, what do you say about the weather?
It's just normal weather. You didn't want to come in with, so Trump's in the weather is normal today. Like, what do you say about the weather? It's just normal weather.
You didn't want to come in with,
so Trump's in the Epstein files, huh?
So that's a great point is that I don't know
who I'm talking to.
I do not know.
Oh yeah, Greenwich, Connecticut, you never know.
I do not know.
I know these people are driving 2025 Escalades
and they probably are.
You can ask me about that.
Not a lot of cyber trucks though in Greenwich
if I recall correctly. Some, but not as many as in about that. Not a lot of cyber trucks though in Greenwich, if I recall correctly.
Some, but not as many as in LA.
There's a lot in LA.
I actually just took a picture of May having a full-blown meltdown
next to our broken down 2016 Subaru, which was parked right next to a cyber truck.
And those are some good photos.
Yeah, I don't know.
Like, I think that I just need, I just wish that those situations didn't bother me as much.
I want to feel at ease and I don't know how to be okay with the fact that I don't feel
at ease.
I don't want to just be looking at my phone in the corner.
I want to be friendly and open, but I also quite literally don't know what to talk to people about.
I feel like most people talk about their kids, right?
You're like, oh, which kid's yours?
Oh my God, tell me about your kid.
Yeah, I know, I feel like I just interview people
when I'm in a social situation and I'm uncomfortable,
I am all questions.
No, that's, see.
Where are you from?
Which one's yours?
Oh, what are they into these days?
Oh, that's so interesting.
Have they gone, have they done this?
Or just like, I just am like, you talk, you talk,
you talk, you talk, you talk.
Yes, it's question, question, question, question, question.
I just feel like I run out of questions like right away.
You know?
I'm like, okay, your kid's that boy over there.
So.
Cool.
So he's wearing shorts.
Where'd you get those shorts? Yeah.
Does he wear boxers or briefs? What type of underwear does your little boy wear? Exactly.
Like immediately my brain is like, what's the worst possible thing you could ask? Anyway,
so small talk, any small talk advice. Yeah, any tips appreciated.
Tips appreciated.
And it just made me like realize how I am as a person,
which is like, I wanna be around people
that I already know so badly.
Yeah, yeah, that's the ideal.
That's the ideal.
No people or people I know.
That's-
No people or people I know.
That's it. That's all I want.
That's all I want.
Yeah, anyway, so that was a scary That's it. That's all I want. That's all I want.
Yeah.
Anyway, so that was a scary thing.
I have more birthday parties coming up.
I'm going to Google small talk ideas.
And then if I open my phone and other people see that I've Googled small talk ideas, I'll
show them.
You just have it up on your phone at the party, glancing at your phone every five seconds.
Hold on.
Hold on a second.
So boxes of briefs on your phone.
So what's your favorite place to vacation? Asking chat GBT. Are you friendly with chat
GBT? Um, anyway, so, um, that's it for me. That's hard. Chat GBT is a pretty funny question.
It's a pretty good one. It's worth throwing in the mix.
What about you guys? Tell me about your weeks.
Well, big one was the birthday.
Big one was the birthday.
But small one that I was thinking about, talking about,
this is really small and boring,
but I have been volunteering at a compost garden
and I went this week and one of the things you have to do is it's called turning
piles of compost. Basically, there's three big piles. You throw all the food scraps in the first
pile, starts breaking down once it's in there for a long enough time at a certain temperature,
you move it to the next pile, it starts cooling off and decomposing more until it's eventually
cooling off and decomposing more until it's eventually usable soil. And to turn the piles, you use a rake. So you're just like shoveling piles of food scraps and leaves and like that
kind of stuff. And so it's just like raking and scooping for like 20 minutes.
That's a workout.
My arms are so sore.
My arms have never been this sore.
I don't know why I didn't think of that as a possibility,
but like gardening in general is like really hard work.
It's really hard work.
This is something I think about a lot
where cooking, gardening, any kind of hobbies
you think are just like gentle hobbies,
they require you to be so physically fit.
Like if you're cooking for long periods of time,
you're doing a lot of baking, like you're using your arms.
You're like working out.
Knitting dough. It's really hard.
Same with gardening. It's like a full body workout.
And you have to be... I mean, my grandmother was a huge gardener
and she never bent her knees when she bent over.
Oh, that's bad on the back.
But also it was the funniest thing to watch her garden.
She would just have straight legs, full flat back.
Just like one of those bird things
that like set up the drinking little thing.
Yeah, tipping over.
Yeah, and we did some weeding as well.
And so you're in like weird positions
and pulling and sore and yeah, I'm not a gardener.
I feel like I kill everything,
but I am interested in reducing food waste.
So that's kind of what I've gotten into it for,
but I'm like starting to like gardening, which feels,
I mean, all I've really done is-
It's very good for you.
Yeah, you get some sunlight, you get some exercise.
Putting your hands in dirt
is supposed to do things to your brain?
I think it does.
I think it does.
I think we're meant to be outside.
Yeah, who'd have thought?
And also it's like a long-term,
like you're always thinking about it,
you're always planning it, it's always growing,
it's always changing,
it's kind of this like beautiful thing that's always there
and you always have something to learn from.
I would love to have a garden.
That is beautiful.
It's nice, a group of kids came on a field trip
and hung out in the garden for a while
and they started helping us water plants
and one of them really sprayed me with those
and it was very funny.
Ah!
Ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha!
Like by accident?
Yeah, but then also a little devilish.
Oh.
Devilish.
They're picking up on your devilish energy.
Yeah, exactly.
They were in the proximity of a 36, six, six year old.
So they knew something compelled them.
Wow.
But yeah, I wonder if my arms will ever recover.
Honestly, you know that I've been trying to work,
I want strong arms.
Me too.
But I keep saying that and doing nothing about it.
But because I like don't know, like what I need,
I need something, I need to like do an activity
that builds.
Start digging a hole in your gut.
I'll just start digging a hole.
I'm just gonna start digging a hole.
Everyone's like, have you heard about Emily's pit?
It's just, her pit keeps getting bigger and bigger.
She is jacked and there is a huge hole in the yard.
Be careful when you come over to Emily's,
there's a giant pit.
But if you fall in it, she can catch you
because she is so strong.
She can lift you out, easy peasy.
So yeah, maybe I need to start doing some things.
Maybe I need to start doing some things.
So we'll see.
Best of luck to you and yours.
Thank you.
You guys, I haven't been working out,
but I noticed the other day that I do have,
look at my muscles.
Yeah, because you're carrying children around.
I literally, yesterday I looked in the mirror
and I was like, I have a bicep.
Yeah.
I have a bicep.
Yeah, you really do.
I'm proud of myself. Dang. I need a lifestyle change not
Exercising but a lifestyle change that tricks me tricks me into getting exercise. Yeah, you should have a kid to get fit totally
I'm gonna have a kid to get fit. I think that that's probably no
It's just when you come to town Henley, I'll just carry your children around but I won't parent that like I won't you have to still
I'll carry them in front of you. Mm-hmm, but just for the arm strength They'll love you do the pit. They'll love it. They would love that. Yeah. Yeah
Yeah, they'll like it a lot. So but it's not for them. So it doesn't matter. It's for me
Speaking of nature a little scary but also really cute thing that happened this week is that
Joel and I are watching TV the other night and we heard the craziest sound outside.
It sounded like, I thought it was like birds fighting, but it was like dark outside.
So it was like, what's going on? It was just like, like that kind of sound.
Like a lot of it. It's fucking squirrels. It wasn't squirrels.
Squirrels are crazy. It was baby skunks. Baby skunks.
Baby skunks make this really chirpy little noise.
I think they're just like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You know, they're just like constantly chirping.
So we went outside to look.
It was so funny.
Joel went outside to check and I kind of like followed him
and he's walking outside and he's like,
oh my God, Emily, you have to come out of here.
And I like went out to see him.
He was like, go back inside, go back inside, go back inside.
He like run back inside.
And then, but cause we didn't want to get skunked, we wanted to look at the baby skunks. So we kept like walking out to see them, and they were like, go back inside, go back inside, go back inside, go back inside. We like run back inside. And then, but, cause we didn't want to get skunked,
we wanted to look at the baby skunks.
So we kept like walking after them,
we were like, fuck, fuck, fuck, no, no, no, no, no.
Like we did this like three times in a row,
but they were so, it was a family.
It was like a mama and like three baby skunks,
and they were so little and so cute.
But also scary to have skunks like so nearby.
And there was one summer where skunks lived under the house
and it smelled so skunky all summer long.
Yeah, my mom had that as well.
So I don't want them to do that, but they were really cute.
Really, really cute.
Skunks are cute.
Skunks are so cute.
High stakes though, being near a skunk.
Well, and they're the ones that can get rabies,
or is that raccoons?
I think both.
It's just possums that can't get it.
It's just possums that can't.
And luckily, they're the cutest of all three.
They're the cutest and they don't stink you.
So...
You think possums are cuter than raccoons?
Yeah, raccoons are scary.
They might not be cuter than skunks.
Skunks are really fucking cute.
But they're definitely cuter than raccoons.
Raccoons are fucking terrifying.
I think raccoons are so freaky.
No, possums are great.
Possums are great.
They're like a rat mixed with a lizard,
which are two of my favorite things.
That doesn't sound good to me at all.
It's fucking awesome.
Wait, no, I'm looking up a possum
to remember what it looks like.
Just for a possum.
People are too mean to possums.
Well, you know what, when they don't have their mouths open,
they're okay.
Their mouths are pretty scary.
But as soon as they open that mouth,
I'm back to not liking them.
But that's like, kind of what's,
they're like a little freak,
they're like kind of like little like demons, but like cute.
Oh my God, and they carry their little babies
on top of them.
And they're marsupials.
Yeah, little marsupials.
They also have a pouch and again,
they hang from their tails. They're fucking so cool. I really like possums.. And they're marsupials. Yeah, little marsupials. They also have a pouch and again, they hang from their tails.
They're fucking so cool.
I really like possums.
I think they're great.
Oh my God, they're so cute.
I'm looking at photos of them as well.
Oh my God.
They're so cute.
But I really don't like it when they open their mouths
and I feel like they're opening their mouths quite often,
especially when humans are around.
They are, they kind of like hiss,
which again is really cute.
No, that's not for me.
I'm a really big fan. I'm a really big fan.
No, my favorite memory of a raccoon is when I threw out a large chocolate bar last day
of college and I went out back out into the dumpster and it was just standing on top of
this like full size, like raccoon sized chocolate bar that had gone out of the garbage and was
just holding it in the middle of the day, eating it and just looking at me like, yeah.
It's my name.
Yeah, I'm eating your chocolate.
Yeah, I got it.
Oh, are we talking favorite raccoon memories?
Cause I've got one.
Okay, yeah, but also guys, possum and opossum,
I've learned this before and I forgot.
They're different.
And the ones that we have are opossums,
but you can still call them possums.
Yes, possums are in Australia.
I'm still going to say raccoons are significantly
cuter than possums.
Raccoons are traditionally cuter and I can see that for me though in my heart
Possums are cuter same and I just raccoons are
Raccoons are freaky little things. They're like dirty and freaky and they have human hands and they freak me out
I love I love those human hands. I love my favorite thing about them big
They get so big in Los Angeles.
They're trash pandas.
I much prefer a rat lizard.
Yeah, I'll take my trash panda everyday.
I get that they're cute, but they're up to no good.
We'll have to do a poll, raccoons versus possums.
They're devilish.
They're very devilish.
But you know what they are? They're not devilish. They're very devilish. But you know what they are?
They're not devilish, they're like pranksters.
They have prankster energy.
And that's I think what it is.
It's like, I don't like that energy.
I don't trust that energy.
Yeah, they're like Ashton Kutcher and punked.
Yes, yeah, because you know what it is?
It's like, they also are like objectively hotter.
So it's like, they're like a hot,
raccoons are hot pranksters.
And that's my least favorite kind of person. Raccoons are hot pranksters. And that's my least favorite kind of person.
Raccoons are hot pranksters.
And who are possums?
What are possums?
Possums are like little goths.
Like little scrawny goths, which is like, that's fun.
They're like bookish.
A bookish goth?
A scrawny bookish goth?
Yeah, they're little bookish goths.
Versus a hot prankster?
Yeah.
Interesting labeling here.
I stand by it.
We're gonna have to take this to social media
and see what the fans have to say
because I'm not sure we're in agreement here.
You know, that's fine, but it's also,
it's just, it's not up for debate.
It's my heart knows the truth.
Right, no, well, you can't debate love.
You can't. Yeah, it's...
It's either there or it's not.
Exactly.
There was a time where my cats were looking
out the window at nighttime and looking so excited.
I was like, oh, there must be something out there
because they're losing their shit.
And I went and looked out the window
and there was a fountain in the courtyard
of the place I lived at at the time.
And there were literally like 12 plus raccoons
washing themselves and-
Raccoons in great numbers, I'm not a fan of.
Yeah, I was like-
No, that's really scary.
That is really scary.
That's too many raccoons in one place.
Yeah.
Why were there so many?
I think they were, it was like bath time.
They were all bathing in the fountain.
And it was like bath time. They were all bathing in the fountain. It was like everyone called over and be like,
bath time for all of us, best friend raccoons.
Honestly, that sounds nice to me though.
I wish I had 11 best friends who live nearby
who would bathe in a fountain with me.
Don't take bath time together.
It's kind of like when we go to Wee Spa.
I was gonna say, we go to Wee Spa, we can do that.
Which is really nice.
Bath time.
Oh, okay.
Should we get into this week's movie?
We definitely should.
I mentioned that the patrons chose it.
The winner of the poll was Audity, came out in 2024.
It was neck and neck with When Evil Lurks.
They won by like 11 votes.
Each of them got like 350-ish votes,
but oddity eeked out the win.
Wow. Okay.
Written and directed by Damien McCarthy,
starring Carolyn Bracken, Guillaume Lee,
Tyge Murphy, Caroline Menton, and Steve Wall.
And I did look up how to pronounce Tyge
because this is an Irish movie.
So Tyge is spelled T-A-D-H-G.
Wow.
T-A-D-H-G.
That is a lot of consonants in a row.
The DHG combo is surprising.
Yeah. Tyg.
Yeah, you never know with an Irish name.
You never know what's gonna happen.
A silent D. Interesting.
Yeah. Yeah. And Audidy is streaming on Sh silent D. Interesting. Yeah. Yeah. And
oddity is streaming on shutter.com. And yeah, like I
mentioned, this movie really freaked me out the first time I
saw it. This was a rewatch for me. Yeah, when did you see it
the first time? When it came out? Well, no, when it went to
shutter because this movie did come out in theaters. And I
remember seeing the trailer for it in theaters, but I did not
see it in theaters, which I did not see it in theaters,
which honestly, I think I would have been really scared.
I was already so scared in my house.
So I feel like, yeah, I don't even,
I don't know if I'll be able to recreate how scary it is,
but I'll do my darnedest.
Okay.
Cause yeah, something about it really just hit all the,
all the right notes for me to be absolutely,
absolutely freaked out of my boots.
Freaked out of her boots.
I love that this is, I love that you're not saying
Henley are gonna hate this one.
No. That is making me feel.
And you would have hated when evil lurks.
So you dodged a bullet here.
Probably and probably forever.
Oh yeah, we'll never do that one.
Don't even worry about it.
If it loses a poll, it loses a poll.
We never do it again.
It's off the table.
It's off the table.
Unfortunately, that's not how it works for me.
Nope.
But I'll disassociate and put that in another place
and pretend like it's true.
That's not happening now.
That's not happening now.
And now is all we have.
Yes, exactly.
Audity has a 96% on Rotten Tomatoes,
a 78 on Metacritic, and a 6.7 on IMDB.
Couldn't find the budget.
It made 1.9 million in theaters.
I don't think it had a super wide release.
It was definitely playing in LA, but I imagine it was a short run and probably not at all theaters. But then, yeah,
Shudder picked it up. So it's available on Shudder.
The director, Damian McCarthy, I think this is his second film. He also did a movie called Caveat, which has been requested a bunch as well. And they're similar to The Conjuring, like kind of in
the same universe, which is always fun. Stephen King does that too, where there's like little
references. So in this movie, there's a reference to Caveat, which I have not seen, but he's also directed a couple short films that have characters
that are in this movie. So yeah, just makes me want to watch all of them. I feel like,
I feel like it's, it's clever when people do that because something about it, and I don't know,
maybe it's just me, but I just like feel like I want to complete the mythology and like get the full picture. Like it even reminds me
a little bit of Taylor Jenkins read how there's one character and basically all of her books.
I'm always like very excited. Like where's McReeva going to show up? But that's all the
trivia I could really find. I think there's a little more I'll sprinkle in
throughout the recap, but yeah,
I think let's just get right into it.
Oh, that was pretty good.
That's the kind of-
That was really good.
Whoa.
Right off the dome.
Oh my God, that was so good.
Yeah.
And we will watch the trailer at the end. So that won't be an episode, but if you want
to watch our trailer reaction, that'll be on our Patreon at patreon.com slash TSDW podcast
with no further ado, let's talk about audity. Oh, that was bad. That was bad again.

Finding a comfortable, well fitting bra is truly a lifelong struggle. But if you add to that a comfortable, well-fitting push-up bra,
that is basically impossible.
Push-up bras are either really uncomfortable,
have way too much unnecessary padding, feel fake.
I mean, truly, I have never had success finding a push-up bra
that I actually would say I like and not just tolerate
Long ago. I just succumbed to the fact that if I wanted to wear a push-up bra
It was just going to be an uncomfortable evening. Like that was just a fact of life
That is until I discovered the skims ultimate push-up bra
Truly. I love this bra. It is
Comfortable it fits skims has so many sizes.
You can actually find a bra that fits.
It supports and lifts without being overly padded.
It's great.
It's exactly what I've always wanted from a pushup bra
and I've had an impossible time finding.
If you are familiar with this struggle,
I sincerely urge you to check out the bras that
Skims has, particularly their Ultimate Push-Up Bra.
It has so many wonderful reviews for a reason.

So we begin with some establishing shots of the Irish countryside and this almost castle
like building. It's apparently a converted barn in County Cork and it's the same filming location as Caveat.
But it's this kind of squarish building where there's a,
you drive basically into the middle of,
how do I describe it?
It's like a perimeter and the parking areas in the middle.
There's like a courtyard in the middle.
In the courtyard, yeah.
So it looks like a really big building.
It's pretty creepy.
I think we're already, it's nighttime
and we see a woman inside working on this trap door
in a, in one section of this converted barn.
There's a lot of like, what do you call them?
Interior balcony type
things. It's got like a second story overhang looking thing that they can, uh, I don't know.
She's like, for some reason building a little trap door in there. It's, there's no electricity.
It's pretty dark in there. She's got lanterns and some flashlights and stuff hung around.
It's like modern day.
It's modern day, but it's like they've bought this old converted barn and are fixing it
up. It's clear they don't live there yet. There's not furniture. It's under construction
to be their summer home. We see her go downstairs. She's by herself in this
creepy place and she has a little tent set up in what's going to be the living room area.
It's all stone though. Everything is stone and gray and dark and creepy. This tent is
illuminated this yellow tent with a flashlight inside of it,
just like looks really creepy.
And the whole beginning part I think is pretty disorienting
because you're like, what, where are we?
What is this lady doing?
And as she comes downstairs past the tent,
we see that she has a camera set up on a tripod
that's just taking photos every minute or so. So we see like flashes
going off. That's creepy. Then we cut to the exterior of what looks like a psychiatric
hospital and there's a patient sitting on the fire escape that one of the orderlies
comes out and yells at and is like, what do
you think you're doing here? This orderly seems particularly like he is, I mean, you
can't totally tell right now, but he's a sadistic type that's like really cruel to the patients
and like grabs this guy and aggressively like pulls him back inside. And then we see the head doctor of the psychiatric facility
answering a phone call. And we see that on the other end of the call is the woman in the opening
scene and this is her husband. So there she's saying, you know, progress is going great on
remodeling stuff. I wish you were here though.
It's always a little creepy staying here at night alone.
We find out he works nights at the hospital, so he's always gone at nighttime, which is
unfortunate.
His name is Ted and his wife's name is Dani.
She says, maybe tomorrow we can invite my sister for dinner.
You know, she hasn't been doing well and I worry about her and it would make me feel a lot better
if we could see her. And there's some men, I can't remember how she mentions it, but we find out that
her sister is her twin. So her sister's name is Darcy. Danny and Darcy, the twins. Danny and Darcy. Danny.
Danny.
Oh, Danny.
Danny.
Darcy.
Danny and Darcy.
And so he says, yeah, sounds good.
I'll see you later.
Have a good night.
So back at the converted barn, she goes out to the car for something into the courtyard.
She leaves the door open as she walks out. It's again, really dark, so we can't really
see the full perimeter. The place is big. There's a lot of shadowy corners. She kind
of hears a noise and turns and looks, but
you can't really see anything, but it's clear that she's creeped out. Like this is a big
place with no electricity in the middle of the night in the middle of the countryside.
So freaky. You can tell that she gets creeped out and kind of rushes back in and closes
the door. Then she has the keys in the keyhole to lock the door.
And as she does, she kind of hears someone fiddling with the door handle on the other
side. And she steps back and is freaked out. And there's one of those little like metal
slidey things, like a big peephole essentially. And she pulls
it back, but she stepped away from the door. And these two eyes are there. It's a jump scare.
This man with one glass eye that has kind of a milky white eyeball. So it's like freaky,
two different eyes. And his face is just like shoved right up in the peephole and he's like,
I need you to let me in. And she's, I think a little like too cool in this moment. She
doesn't seem as freaked out as she should be, but she's, she's, she's getting there.
I think she's trying to maybe seem not afraid too.
Who are you?
Why are you at my door?
And he says, I came over to help you.
I saw you just went out to your car and when you did,
someone went into your house.
Oh my God, oh my fucking God.
There's someone in there with you right now.
Well, this is a really bad, really bad position to be in.
It's so bad.
Because there's definitely someone outside.
Yes.
And she says, you know, my husband is going to be home soon,
so it's not a problem.
You can leave or whatever.
And he says, Dr. Timis works nights.
What the fuck?
How does this guy know so much?
And she has a little light bulb moment,
and she goes, you're a patient at his hospital.
And he says, yes, that he's been released.
And he was leaving the hospital and like saw this man go into her house.
And she says, okay, I'm going to call the police.
And he says, yes, yes, call the police.
Great. Like, you need to call them. That would be great.
And she says, I don't have my phone. That's what she was going out to her car looking for.
She can't find her phone. How'd she call her husband?
She had it earlier and then it was like misplaced and she couldn't find it again.
Oh, God, this is the story of my life. I lose my phone every five minutes. I know you really do.
I lose it every five minutes.
I never know where it is.
I would be absolutely screwed if this ever happened to me
because I for sure wouldn't have my phone on.
Yeah.
And she asks him if he has a phone.
No, he doesn't.
He's just been released from a mental hospital.
And she's like, well, if I let you in,
what are you gonna do? And he's like, I don't know. you in, like, what are you going to do? And he's like, I
don't know. Like I'll search the, like we can search the place together and make sure
there's nobody in there. And we see her kind of glancing around the place, which again,
is super dark, filled with shadowy corners. All the different rooms are just completely dark inside. And you can see how torn she is, like fuck, fuck, fuck.
Doesn't know what to do.
She's reaching for the door handle for the keys
and like looking at him and looking at the keys
and he's nodding and he's like, yes, yes, yes, open it.
No, no.
And cut to black title, oddity.
Oh, boy.
What an opening.
What a fucking, yeah, like that is so immediately scary
in a way that it's like,
yeah, I don't know what the fuck you mean.
I know.
I mean, you don't let him in, but then what do you do?
I mean, I guess we'll find out.
I think you stand against a corner with a big knife.
Yeah.
And you don't sleep and you just wait.
Yeah.
Yeah.
A knife in one hand and a fucking bludgeoning instrument
in the other hand and you stand against,
in the corner of two walls.
I feel like I'd also want him to stay there weirdly.
I'm like, hey, you stay where I can see you.
Yeah.
Outside, locked outside of the house.
And I'm gonna-
If you're so concerned about me, you stay right there.
Yeah.
And I'm gonna stand here with my knife and my-
Or like you go get help.
You go-
Well, that's like how did he even get there?
That's my main question is like, is he just walking?
How far is the mental hospital from this house?
How did he get here?
Like, that's my main question.
I think he walked.
Does she have her car keys?
So it's in walking distance?
Because maybe what you do
is you grab a bludgeoning instrument.
You grab your car keys.
You surprise open the door, ready to strike.
You scream, you go, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, you do something really, really crazy
and like surprise that guy and you run to your car
and you get in your car and you drive away.
Yeah, yeah, I think that's good.
Okay, great, we have a plan.
Okay, great.
So now we come back to the mental hospital
and we see a patient in his room hearing a very scary noise,
like heavy footsteps and almost like guttural growling
noises.
It sounds inhuman.
It does not sound like a person.
He hides under his bed.
We hear the door to his room open.
Seems like something is coming in, but we are seeing like at foot level the door
and we can't see anything actually come in. And then we hear like footsteps walking away.
We hear some screaming and crazy noises. And then it gets silent. and this patient eventually comes out from under the bed and his door is wide open
and he cautiously tiptoes out, seems like silent now and he follows where he thinks he heard the
noises coming from and we see that there's blood everywhere on the walls around him.
We can't see where it came from,
and he's just wide-eyed, terrified,
but leans down and picks up a glass eye
that matches the glass eye of this guy,
and then we get a reveal shot of the guy at the door with like his head absolutely
pulverized, just completely smashed head,
like Oberyn in Game of Thrones style.
It's the same guy we saw?
Yes.
So he's just, okay.
We don't know, yeah, we don't know what's happening yet.
We don't know, we don't know what's going on,
but we do know that he's not telling the whole story.
Yeah.
So then we cut to Darcy, Danny's twin sister, who we recognize because they're twins, but...
Is it the same actress or is it an actual twin?
Same actress, Darcy.
We're really doing that these days.
We're really doing that these days. We're really doing that these days.
And Darcy, so Dani has like long brown hair.
Darcy has very short platinum blonde hair
and she's holding a doorbell with like a napkin around it.
Seems like really focused on this, not doorbell,
excuse me, but like a bell boy,
bell.
A bell?
Yeah.
Like a desk bell.
Like a front desk.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And in walks Ted.
Uh-oh.
And she hears him come in.
We see the reveal that she's in a shop of oddities.
I can't remember the name of the shop, but she has this
witchy shop filled with creepy items. She says, don't touch anything. You don't know what's
a lot of these items carry. Curses. So best if you don't touch anything and don't even think about stealing. And we realized that she is
blind. So she can't, because Ted is standing right there and she doesn't know it's him. And then he
says something and she recognizes his voice, gets up and hugs him, says, it's great to see you.
And he asks her about the desk bell that she was studying. He said, what's that? Looks
like you were really focused on it. And she says that it's a new item she received. There
was a bell boy at this hotel who one of the guests at the hotel pushed down the stairs and murdered and he like snapped his neck.
And the story goes that when you ring this doorbell,
he comes back.
Like the past two people that have had this bell have died.
Man, how do you get into this profession?
Like, how do you end up here?
Yeah, and like, take the little dongle out of the bell. Right. man how do you get into this profession like how do you end up here yeah and
like take the little dongle out of the belt right Ted is obviously not really
taking this too seriously he's kind of smiling he's a doctor he believes in
science and logic he does not believe in ghosts or the... You better start believing, doctor.
And we see that he has brought her the glass eye.
Oh, what?
So maybe he does kind of believe in some of this stuff.
What's he doing with that glass eye?
Well, he does say, why did you want it?
So she has requested the glass eye, it seems like, and he's kind of just fulfilling her wish here.
And he's like, what do you want with this glass eye?
And she says, well, he took my sister's life.
So I wanna know what was going on in his mind.
Oh, wow.
Okay, so this is a different story.
We're getting a different story.
Yes.
So he killed the sister or did something else.
Right.
That's the big question.
Then got killed by something.
Right.
And then the doctor took the eye.
Yes.
To the twin sister who's still alive.
Yes.
To the blind twin sister who owns a store of oddities.
Exactly.
Thank you, I think wonderful, wonderful summary.
I imagine like having this idea for a script.

And so in this conversation, we find out she says next week it will have been a year.
It'll be the year anniversary. And I was hoping I could come over and spend some time in the place that she was when she
died to honor her.
Ted is a little dismissive of this and is like, yeah, yeah, you know, we're still kind
of getting things set up.
It's Yana and I are still getting settled in.
And Darcy is a little like, who?
You have a girlfriend or you've already met somebody?
And he says-
And you were living with her?
In the place where she was murdered too.
It's like, you wanna stay there?
You wanna stay in this place?
Right.
And Ted says, she was a coworker at the hospital. And after Danny died, she
was really kind to me and we got really close and you know, he didn't intend but it happened.
Life goes on. Yeah, we're not gonna fault him for that. He has to live. Yep. So Ted
kind of roughly says, Yeah, but we'll like,
definitely sometime you should come.
Not the anniversary, but like some other time,
probably just come on over.
Yeah, yeah, we'll have a little more settled.
Date's probably not specific, it doesn't really matter,
right, just come and do whatever.
So he leaves the shop and we see Darcy listening
to her last voicemail from Dani.
We did see Dani call her in the opening scene, but we didn't really hear the message she
left.
So now we're hearing the message for the first time.
She references the camera.
She says, I'm doing what you recommended with the time lapse, trying to get a time
lapse of us setting everything up.
So that's what the camera was set up to just capture the progress of working on the house, I guess. Feels like way too frequent of these.
Right. So that much change every minute?
Do we need that much of a progress report? Okay.
And she's saying, we want to have you over for dinner and I hope you're doing well. There's
been a couple of mentions of like Darcy maybe
not being in good health or maybe good mental health of like being worried about her. I think even Ted mentioned that in when he was in the shop. He's like, so how are you doing?
Have you been to the doctor? And she says, I'm totally fine and you don't need to worry.
fine and you don't need to worry. So now she's sitting in her shop by herself and she kind of unfolds this. She's wearing gloves also for the most part, which I love that like
it's like haunting of Hill House. Yes, exactly. When people have like a gift and they have
to wear gloves or they'll just know too much.
They need a barrier.
They're too close to the other side.
Yeah, exactly.
So she sits down with the glass eye, kind of unfolds it from within a little scarf and
takes her gloves off and then holds the glass eye in her bare hands. And we immediately see some flashes
of images. So she's got some psychic ability to connect with objects that belong to people
to see kind of into their past. So we see an image of the guy. I think his name was Olin. So we see an image
of Olin and then we see someone in a black like raincoat with a creepy white mask, almost
looks like melted wax mask. A hard mask. Hard mask. Yeah. And she's just kind of having this vision and then sets the
glass eye back down, but she's clearly seen some shit. She rushes into the back room. It's like
she gets this idea from this and she rushes into a back room of her store that we didn't see before.
into a back room of her store that we didn't see before. There's shelves with all these other little oddities on them.
This is where we get a reference to caveat.
Caveat has this little bunny prominently featured in it.
And the bunny is on display on one of the shelves
in this store, fun little call out.
That monkey, isn't that the monkey from?
What's it? The monkey?
Yes.
Yes, it's the Stephen King.
Oh, the monkey.
The monkey.
What's it called?
Yes.
But also for anyone who's seen caveat, this bunny has symbols.
So it's, I guess, a different bunny that is in caveat.
Again, which I haven't seen, so I don't know the significance of that, but just kind of I guess a different bunny that is in caveat.
Again, which I haven't seen,
so I don't know the significance of that,
but just kind of fun little detail.
And in this room, there is a large wooden chest
and she kneels down to it.
The music is dramatically swelling.
Something important is in this chest,
but we don't see what it is and cuts away.
We're back at Ted and Yana's, whoever Yana is.
Wait, should we guess what's in the chest?
Sure.
It's definitely her sister.
What do you think, Emily?
Any guesses about what's in the chest?
What's in the box?
The mask.
The white mask? Oh, that's a good guess. Or the black raincoat.
Or both.
Or both. Or both.
Or Yana.
Or Yana. Oh, what else could it be?
A picnic lunch.
Yum.
Nice. Yum.
Yum. Nice. Yum. Yum. Yana is sitting in the living room.
We see the place is now pretty furnished.
It's looking pretty good.
And she has found Danny's camera and she's kind of scrolling through the photos, the
time-lapse photos that we saw before.
Was that not taken into evidence? through the photos, the time lapse photos that we saw before. And-
Was that not taken into evidence?
Although I guess like, do they keep the camera
even if they do take it into evidence?
Maybe they give it back.
Yeah, maybe they give it back.
I don't know how that works.
I don't know.
But Ted comes home and she says,
I need to show you something
and shows him one of the photos.
And it looks like Danny is in the bathroom. So the way that the camera was
facing is facing kind of the living room and there's a door that goes to a bathroom, but
the light is off. So it's just like dark and there's just a woman's face kind of floating
in the darkness of the bathroom looking straight at the camera. It's a creepy photo, but Ted looks at
it and says, okay, like, yeah, she lived here. It's not that weird for her to be in this photo.
Yana drops the bomb. I took this photo two nights ago. Oh, wait, what?
And then she says how freaked out she is living here.
She wants to go back to her apartment in the city.
And yes, yes, especially while he's working nights.
She doesn't like being there.
She tells him last night and it like cuts back.
So we're seeing her experience of the previous night
where she's walking up to the bedroom.
Here's something behind her jumpscare turns
and sees Danny in the hallway.
Ted's kind of laughing at her.
Like you'd think my wife is haunting this house.
And Ted, you can go fuck yourself.
Yes, Ted, I do.
You can go fuck yourself right now.
I really do. And I have evidence to support it. And also, yeah, Ted, you can go fuck yourself. I do. You can go fuck yourself right now.
I really do. And I have evidence to support it. And also, yeah, Ted, it doesn't matter.
I don't want to be here.
She was brutally murdered. Your wife was brutally murdered less than a year ago.
In this house.
Let's not laugh. Laugh about that.
Yeah. Yeah. She says, I'm mad at Ted. Oh my God.
Yeah, we're not feeling great about Ted. And especially because he, again, kind of rolls
his eyes at her and says, you sound just like her sister, which is rude. Let's not be dismissive
of your girlfriend's- Fears.
Concerns and fears. Or your dead wife's sister. Yeah. And so Yana says, oh, speaking of something arrived from Darcy.
She sent something to the house.
I forgot to mention points over to a corner in the room by the dining table.
We see the big large wooden chest.
We're going to find out what's in the chest. They walk over to it and are trying to open it.
It's locked.
They can't open it.
They're like, what do you think is in there?
We have the same question.
A picnic lunch.
A mystery box, man.
The power of a mystery box.
It's a powerful thing.
I've probably mentioned this before.
I think about it all the time.
There's an episode of Family Guy, which I don't really watch,
but for some reason this has really stuck with me where they,
one character wins a prize and they can either get a yacht or the mystery box.
Oh, that's so funny.
And all of them always choose the mystery box and it's like two free movie
tickets or something. But I mean, the mystery box and it's like two free movie tickets or
something. But I mean, the mystery box is a powerful thing. I get it.
Compelling.
It's compelling.
And a real power play for her to send it without the key. She clearly sent it without the key.
And that was on purpose. Interesting.
Yeah. Well, guess what? Knock, knock. She's here.
Guess what? Knock, knock. She's here. Guess what? Knock, knock.
It's just a bunch of baby possums.
And they see her arriving, being dropped off. They are confused that she's arrived. What is
she doing here? They let her in. She says, well, today's the anniversary.
Ted said I could come and stay. And he's like, well, I didn't really say that. And I wish
you would have called and told us because I'm working tonight. Like I have to, I have
to go pretty soon and Yana is going to go back to the city. And so we won't be here. And she says, that's
okay. I don't mind being here by myself. I just want to be in this space. I'm here already.
And so I'd like to stay. And there's a lot of like, because she's blind, they do a lot
of looks back and forth to each other because they can be rude right in front of her face basically, like they're
giving each other looks like, oh, come on, this is so annoying.
And then she walks over to where the chest is, Darcy does, pulls out the key, opens the
chest.
And I think we see a little glimpse
of something but it's hard to tell what it is.
We see like more wood and maybe a wooden hand.
It's something weird, something we haven't seen before.
So they kind of feel like they have no choice really
and they're just saying, okay, you can stay
but we weren't expecting company. There's not really any food. feel like they have no choice really. And they're just saying, okay, you can stay, but
we weren't expecting company. There's not really any food. Yana will get you settled
in, but then she's going to leave. I have to leave right now. And again, Darcy's like,
that's fine. So Ted leaves for work. Yana looks pretty irritated that she has to deal with this,
which is fair enough. Your boyfriend leaving you to deal with this situation. I might be
annoyed as well and uncomfortable.
You would also think that they would care more about the anniversary of her death. He
seems to be so deeply indifferent about it.
He's pretty indifferent about it.
I think there's even a part earlier where she when she shows him the camera,
she's like, oh, well, yeah, I found this camera.
Like, do you want to keep it? He's kind of like, no, I don't really care.
She's like, there's a lot of photos of you and Danny on here.
Like, I think it'd be weird if you didn't keep it.
And he's like, OK, I'll keep it.
Yuck. Fuck, Ted.
His vibe is not of a grieving man.
So Ted is gone. It's just Yana and Darcy as Yana is kind of gathering her things,
getting ready to go back to her apartment for the night. And Darcy turns to her and she's by the wooden chest again.
And she says, did you know that the gift
for the fifth anniversary of a wedding is wood?
The wood year.
Yana looks confused.
She says, Ted and I aren't married.
And she says, this was a gift someone gave to my parents.
And I just thought you guys should have it.
And Deanna sees, I think we maybe see what it is now.
And it's just a really big wooden man that looks like a little like gollum-y.
It's really creepy. You shouldn't have. man that looks like a little like golemy.
It's really creepy. Oh, you shouldn't have.
Oh, that's so, yeah, such a sweet, thoughtful present.
There's no ulterior motive whatsoever.
It is life size, the size of a full grown man.
Wow.
And Yana cannot hide the discomfort she has
Yana cannot hide the discomfort she has when seeing it
and says, you know, oh, but if it's your parents, like shouldn't you keep it?
Darcy says, do you not like it?
Or?
She says, that's not gonna work, bitch.
But Yana to her credit is like, yeah, kind of don't.
I think it's a pretty bizarre gift.
I don't really want it.
And I can't remember what she says, but she's like, well, it's here.
And I got it for you.
We cut to moments later, the big wooden man is sitting at the dining table.
Okay, I hate that. The big wooden man is sitting at the dining table.
Okay.
Okay, I hate that.
This man is lifelike, but made out of wood
and like very wrinkly and his mouth is wide.
Wrinkly wood.
It's carved to be kind of wrinkly
and his mouth is wide open.
No.
What?
He's sitting at the table now with his hands on the table
in this kind of pose.
Do not get me this for my wood anniversary.
Uh.
Also, what was the deal with their parents?
This is a, or maybe she's just lying about that.
Maybe that's not real.
Yeah, yeah, I'm not sure.
If it is, I want to know more
about what their upbringing was like.
Yeah, the same.
Well, maybe in some of the other movies in this universe,
the question is answered.
That's the that's the allure of this extended universe.
So Yana is all packed up, ready to go, saying, OK, well, this has been really great.
You have a really wonderful night.
And guess what?
She can't find her car keys.
She asks, Darcy, have you seen my keys?
Darcy kind of turns and gives her a look of like,
I'm blind.
I'm blind.
So no, even though we were kind of like,
mm, mm.
No, even though we were kind of like, mm. Mm.
And, cause yeah, she's also seeming like not surprised
or concerned about this at all.
Right.
So Yana's like, I guess, I guess I can't leave.
And Darcy says, good, I was hoping the three of us
could spend some time together referring to them and the wooden man.
No.
Now, cut to just a little while later, Yana and Darcy are sitting across from each other
at the dining table where the big wooden man is sitting at the head of the table.
Yana keeps kind of glancing at it, obviously very creeped out. And Darcy shows that she has the glass eye.
Yana says, why do you have that?
What do you do with that?
And Darcy tells her, I can read items, personal items work best, especially items that were on the person's body frequently.
Yana, again, skeptical, not really believing this.
Oh, so you're psychic. That's cool. Really cool.
Oh my God, don't condescend to this blind woman right now. Do not do that.
And she says something like,
but like why would you want that eye,
that guy killed your sister?
Like I wouldn't want that.
And Darcy says, Olin Bull did not kill my sister.
Mm-hmm.
Yana is confused by this information,
what are you talking about?
And we get a flashback picking up exactly
where we left off of Danny not opening the door for Olin.
And he's saying like, please, you're making a mistake.
And she says, I know, I like, I'm sorry, I just can't,
I can't let you in, I can't do it.
And he says, okay, okay, what can we do?
What can we do? He says,
I'll go get help. You stay here. I'll go get help. I'll be right back. She says, okay.
She's way scared. She does grab a hammer.
Okay.
And she-
This is when you run out to your car with the hammer screaming.
Yes, which she does not do.
She's glancing around all the dark corners of the house.
And there's again, just this like glowing yellow tent
in the middle of the room.
She grabs the camera and slowly backs into the tent,
which I wouldn't do.
She zips herself in there.
People can see that you're in the tent.
It's not a room.
Not a room.
Also it's a tent.
I mean, anything can get through that tent.
Not to victim blame, but that was a bad idea.
This is a mistake.
She is now scrolling through her photos,
the time-lapse photos that are just a blocked off shot
of basically the tent and the front door
and the bathroom and the stairs that go up to the bedroom.
And she sees herself when she walked down to go outside
and then jump scare a man in a black raincoat
with a creepy white mask in the house.
Yeah.
It's so scary.
So now she's in the tent.
She's absolutely like shaking,
like, fuck, there's someone in here with me.
And now I'm zipped into a tent. And now I'm zipped into a tent. like shaking like, fuck, there's someone in here with me.
And now I'm zipped into a tent.
And now I'm zipped into a tent.
She's got her hammer in her hand.
She reaches, she's about to like slowly unzip the tent.
Oh God, there's no quiet way to get in and out of a tent.
No, they're so rustly.
And it's not secretive at all.
There's a light in there.
You have like a silhouette there. It's like, they're so rustly. And it's not secretive at all. There's a light in there. You have like a silhouette there.
It's like, you're so visible.
You're like, you've spot lit yourself in a loud prison.
Yeah, it's really bad.
Yeah, a loud prison.
And she unzips it and is greeted by the face
just right there.
She screams and I think kind of swings the hammer,
but this person just
grabs it from her hand and walks backwards and just kind of blocks the tent and squats
down holding the hammer, just looking at her.
No, no, no.
So bad. And then we see him kind of moving toward her and then it cuts to the aftermath
and we just see from the outside the tent like covered in blood now and him again just
squatting there.
Cut back to Yana and Darcy and Yana is asking her,
okay, if Olin didn't kill your sister, who did?
And then we cut to the hospital, Ted at the hospital,
talking to the orderly we saw earlier
that was being cruel to the other patient.
The sadistic orderly.
And he's, this guy has really bad vibes. His name's Ivan.
Even Ted is like seemingly pretty creeped out by him.
Yeah, we're getting the vibes that he's like cruel to the patients because there's nothing
they can do about it because anything that they say you can just be like, oh, well, like they're crazy.
Oof, really bad, really bad, really bad.
Really bad. And.
Darcy tells Yana it was an orderly that works with Ted.
His name's Ivan.
Oh, she knows. Wow.
I mean, yeah, I guess.
Why would you think it had been
Olin when been Olin
when then Olin ended up murdered like right after? Well, we don't know.
Wouldn't you think it was whoever murdered him too?
Right.
We don't know how Olin died, do we?
No.
Smashed head though.
I mean, yes, we know how he died,
but we don't know who did it or.
Right, I just mean in terms of like,
if I'm on this case, if I'm a detective.
Yeah, there's a surprising lack of detectives involved.
I'm not thinking that it's the man
who ended up with a smashed head like this
and the same night.
Yeah.
Personally.
I don't know, that's just me.
Yes, but we don't know that it was the same night also.
Fair. It's kind of a little unclear.
So we go back to Ted and Ivan.
Ivan brings up, you didn't tell me your wife had a twin.
Oh, Ivan still works there.
Ivan still works there, yes.
Okay.
And Ted is like, how do you know that?
And he says, oh, like I saw her and I thought I was seeing a ghost.
She was in town because she's come here obviously to visit.
I haven't saw her, was pretty freaked out.
It's like, is everything good?
I thought I killed her.
I mean, oh.
And at this moment, Yana calls Ted.
Darcy has fallen asleep at the dining table in a pretty similar position
to the wooden man where her hands are just kind of spread across the table and her head
is like lolling forwards.
I can't fall asleep in my bed at the right time when I've had a long day. How does anyone
fall asleep in this situation or in that position? I'm amazed. The amount of times people fall asleep in horror movies,
I'm always shocked.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It is impressive.
Yana is whispering to Ted on the phone saying,
your wife's sister is saying that
someone named Ivan killed Dani.
Wait, didn't Yana used to work there?
That's true.
She was a pharmaceutical rep.
Ah, fair enough.
So she didn't work in the hospital,
but they worked together occasionally.
Got it, got it, got it.
So Ted looks very surprised by this.
She says, do you know who that is?
He's like, yeah, but like what?
And she's like, how would she even know his
name? Like, this is really weird.
That's a good question.
Yeah. She's on the little second floor balcony. The bedrooms are up on the second floor of
this place, but there's like a little balcony that overlooks onto the living and dining
area. So she's kind of, she's looking over at Darcy sleeping
as she's whispering to Ted.
And she looks down below to the dining table
and the wooden man's head is looking up at her.
Oh my God.
She drops the phone.
I think she had hung up with Ted,
but she drops the phone,
like jumps back freaked out
and then like tiptoes back over,
looks over again,
he's back to normal.
No.
Facing forward.
Did Darcy, does Darcy's spirit go into the wooden man
when she falls asleep?
Is that what it is?
I mean, if I'm Yana,
I'm screaming for Darcy to wake up.
Yeah, I would as well.
I am waking her up.
But Yana like tiptoes down.
I think she may be like whispers like Darcy, Darcy.
No, I'm going, Darcy!
But she goes back and picks up her phone
and she's looking at this wooden man.
She, for some reason, is putting her fingers
almost in his wide open mouth.
Absolutely not.
Which is insane.
And then she notices five holes
drilled into the back of the head.
And she's looking in them,
almost like a bowling ball with a couple of extra holes.
And she thinks she can see some things.
She goes and grabs some tweezers.
No.
No, you gotta wake Darcy up.
You can't.
You can't be doing this, Yana.
You can't be tweezing into this man's head.
You gotta ask Darcy first.
You gotta say, hey, is this the type of wooden man
you can put a tweezer into or not?
What do you think about these holes?
What do you think about, can he move his head?
Has this happened to you before?
How did you know Ivan's name?
Why did you immediately fall asleep?
What am I supposed to do?
Why are you asleep?
Would you like a bed?
Like what's going on?
What is going on?
But no, she tweezers out from one of the holes
very slowly pulls out from one of the holes,
very slowly pulls out a lock of platinum blonde hair.
No.
Sets that down, goes to the next hole, tweezers out.
There's like a rolled up photo, opens it up.
It's a photo of Danny and Darcy as kids.
No.
Next hole, she pulls out another photo.
It's them, Danny and Darcy again, as adults this time.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Fourth hole, a tooth.
No!
Hate to see it.
And fifth hole, she pulls out a vial of blood.
Really bad.
And as she sees that, we hear Darcy scream,
put them back!
Yeah, I'd be like, okay.
Yeah, you better put them back right away.
Put them right back.
She does, she does.
She's like, what is all this stuff? And she's not answering any of her questions. She's just saying, you need to put him back right away. Put him right back. She does. She does. She's like, what is all this stuff?
And she's not answering any of her questions.
She's saying you need to put that back right now.
And she's like, OK, I am.
And here you go.
One, two, three, four, five, back in.
Good night. I'm going to go to bed now.
No.
She's not asking any follow up questions.
I'm getting out on foot.
I know, right?
I would just leave.
But they are in the middle of the country. Like, there's nothing around, really.
But I mean, theoretically,
Olin walked there from the hospital.
The hospital, yeah.
I guess maybe a murderer is there.
There's no good options right now.
Yeah, there's not a lot of good options.
Yeah, you don't want to walk to...
Yeah, you don't want to go to that hospital right now.
So, Yana goes to bed.
Darcy is sleeping on the couch now.
Yana gets up in the middle of the night
to go to the bathroom.
The bathroom is downstairs by where Darcy
and the wooden man are.
You gotta just pee in a corner, my love.
And it's one of those bathrooms
where the light switch is on the outside.
I don't know, I feel like they had these
when I was in Ireland as well.
And I'm like, why are... Hate that shit.
Hate that shit.
Why did anybody think that this was a good idea?
Oh my God.
I don't know.
Yeah, well, how hard would it be
to just put it inside the bathroom?
Why does it have to be outside the bathroom?
This is the thing.
I will not go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
Especially, I'm scared to honestly do it in my own home,
but I definitely won't do it in a different place.
Yeah. But if I am, if I am, if I must, but I definitely won't do it in a different place.
But if I am, if I am, if I must, if I must,
you cannot turn that light on
because then you turn the light off
and it's pitch black and can't see shit.
So you have to.
You have to do it in the dark.
You have to keep the lights off,
but you have to keep the door open
because I'm not gonna shut a door in a dark bathroom.
No.
Rather risk the embarrassment of being seen peeing
than be murdered.
Yes.
Yeah, always.
We all pee, it's fine.
Yeah, she, Yana does not do either of those.
She goes in there, she turns the lights on,
she closes the door.
Oh, God.
And of course, while she's in there washing her hands,
the lights turn off.
Of course. She opens the door, looks out into the living area. Oh, God. And of course, while she's in there washing her hands, the lights turn off.
Of course.
She opens the door, looks out into the living area.
Darcy's still sleeping on the couch.
The camera angle, I don't think we see
if the wooden man is there or not.
I can't actually remember.
Is it like a timer light or it's just switched off?
No, it's a switch light.
No!
Yana runs back upstairs.
Yana.
Crawls in bed, pulls the covers up high.
Are the lights on in the bedroom?
No, maybe one bedside lamp, but it's not enough.
She's still like maybe hearing things, creaky.
She grabs the camera again for some reason, which I'm like, don't do that. I don't know why she's doing it, but oh, she's scrolling through
like old videos of Danny and Ted and there's a video of them inside the tent together and
Danny is holding the camera framing her face.
And then it's like Ted's really cold and uncomfortable
and like pans to him.
And you see him like shivering with a beanie on
and like all grouchy.
And Yana is looking around the room.
I don't know why she's really watching this video
but she starts it over from the top.
And we see Danny saying, oh, Ted's so cold and grumpy camera pans. And we see like ghost Danny with like white
eyes, jump scare. Wait in the photo, in the video, in the video. Yes. And so Yana,
Danny is taking the video and you see a ghost Danny in the video. Yes. Okay, okay, okay.
All right.
And Yana drops the camera,
a flash goes off, illuminating a ghost Danny
in the corner of the room that just says, run!
Oh my fucking God!
Oh my God!
Oh my God!
She does like run downstairs.
She hears something banging inside the chest.
Oh my God, I'm so scared.
You're doing a really good job.
I'm like legitimately really scared.
Scary.
She's like approaching the chest.
No, that wasn't the rule.
That wasn't what we said.
We said run.
I'm like, wake up fucking Darcy, wake her up.
I know.
Run, run.
But she goes and she's really scared.
And if a ghost told me to do fucking anything I'm doing.
I know, I know, 100%.
But she opens the chest and we're like,
what the fuck is it gonna be?
It's her car keys.
Okay.
So she-
Oh, so maybe Danny was giving her her car keys. Okay. So she- Oh, so maybe Danny was giving her her car keys.
Maybe.
Okay.
So we see she grabs the car keys.
She runs out that door.
She does not speak to Darcy.
She's just out of there.
But as soon as she walks out of the house,
she like turns back and looks at it
and all the lights in the house are suddenly on.
And then they all turn off and it's like pitch black. And she's looking
into the, she like left the front door open, which is now just like a black hole and there's
just like silently little ghost Danny head floating out towards her and she just gets
in the car, drives off. Okay, okay.
Now we see later that evening, Ted coming home from work.
Did Ted kill her?
It's like, not quite done.
I mean, yeah, we're not feeling good about Ted.
Yeah.
And the wooden man is now sitting at a different seat
of the dining table.
I love this guy.
I'm back on board.
This guy is funny.
And Darcy is not anywhere to be seen.
Neither is Yana.
I think he probably has noticed that Yana's car is gone.
But that was what he expected.
Oh, true.
I think maybe he got a call from her, like freaking out.
Oh, right. That's right. Earlier she called him.
So he finds Darcy on that little balcony area where we saw Danny installing a trap door earlier.
Right. We still don't know about that trap door.
And we see that Darcy is holding Ted's wedding ring.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And she's like hunched over.
Yeah, I mean, why did you build a trap door
inside your home?
Maybe because your husband's a really scary guy.
It's, yeah, I don't know.
We got a lot of questions.
We got a lot of questions. She's kind of rocking back and forth
like really upset and she's talking about Olin and she says he came here to save her and I dragged
him from his bed and I killed him. Whoa, holy shit. Okay, so she's about to fucking go ape shit on Ted.
Holy shit. Okay. So she's about to fucking go ape shit on Ted. And so she's feeling very guilty and devastated about, I mean, that was a bet. That was a
girl you can read objects and you jumped straight to murder. At least take that eye
out of his head first. Like you could read that. You could start there. Yeah. So Ted
is immediately saying, you know,
Danny told me about this,
told me how you have had episodes
where you see things that aren't there.
Like this isn't real.
Oh no.
Ted is going to try to put her
into that fucking psychiatric institute.
Olin is the one that killed Danny.
You did a good thing.
You did a good murder.
Good, good, good, good, good, good job.
And she says, no, good, good, good job.
And she says, no, it was Ivan. It was Ivan. And he says, like, I can call the detective.
They can explain to you again that it was Olin. If that will make you feel better. She
says, no, I want you to go get Ivan and bring him here so I can kill him. Okay, okay.
Well, and he says, why would Ivan kill Danny?
And she looks up at him and she says, because you told him to.
And she says, all you had to do was say it was over.
She would have been upset, but she would have gotten over you.
Instead, you killed her. You had her killed. And we get a flashback to conversation between
Ted and Ivan ironing out the details of Ivan killing, it's like being tasked with killing
his wife. And he says, why don't you just divorce her? Great question. And Ted says, she loves me too much.
She'll never get over me.
And Ted, you piece of shit.
And when she finds out about Yana, there's no way I'll get the house.
Oh wow.
And then we see Olin in the room next to Ted's office
overhearing this through the vents.
Oh, Olin, you poor thing.
And remember we saw that the door was open
and like one of the doors of the hospital was open
in the earlier scene and one of the patients
was like sitting on the fire escape.
So I think there's like an implication that Olin broke out.
Not that he, but he was going to be released. There's like a little backstory where we find out that Olin had killed his mom,
and that's kind of all we had heard. And then from Darcy, we find out like his mom was
extremely abusive and like pulled out his eye. That's the reason he like lost an eye.
Oh my God.
And she was, yeah, like trying to hurt him when he killed her.
So it's like, yeah, not great to kill your mom, but also he's not like a crazy, crazy psychopath.
Yeah. Oh my God.
And back to Darcy and Ted having this big confrontation. Darcy says, I like want to kill you,
but I think it would be better just to expose you.
I'm gonna make sure you lose everything.
You're gonna lose your girlfriend.
You're gonna lose this house.
You're gonna lose your job,
which is like pretty bold for a blind woman alone
in like pretty much the middle of the night with this man.
I was like, oh, Darcy, Darcy, this isn't the place.
But she does have-
But yeah, she's got something. The wooden man, Danny the, Darcy, this isn't the place. But she does have the wooden man,
Danny the ghost in there, I don't know.
She's got Danny the ghost on her side, that's pretty good.
And he says, okay, I'm gonna go back to the hospital,
I'm gonna get Ivan, I'm gonna bring him here,
we're gonna all sort this out.
Did you say if you bring Ivan here,
she's gonna kill him?
Right.
And I actually can't remember if that's what he says he's gonna do because
he leaves his phone there and he says, when I call, answer.
And so maybe he's saying he's gonna like have Ivan call her so that she can't kill him,
but so that he can explain.
I don't know.
It's like a weird plan thing.
And she's like-
Probably what he's actually gonna do is he's gonna kill her.
Is that what he's gonna try to do?
Probably from hanging out.
So it's like, doesn't really make sense.
Whatever he says doesn't matter.
Yeah, he's just trying to placate her a bit.
And she does seem like a little confused by it,
but she's like, all right, fine.
You go and if you bring Ivan back, like all the better.
He says, okay, when the phone rings, pick it up.
So we see him get in his car, rush back to the hospital
and he's calling his own cell phone.
It's ringing and ringing.
We see Darcy ignoring it at first,
but then eventually she stands up and walks towards it.
And we see that, of course, Ted has opened that trap. She stands up and walks towards it.
And we see that, of course, Ted has opened that trap door.
So there's just a big hole in this balcony.
That's just a free drop to the floor below.
It's the only one floor, but everything is stone.
So not great.
So she walks towards the phone and
just falls right through the trap door. Oh my God. Why the fuck is what's up with this
trap door? We see that Ted sends Ivan to the house. It's like he's said, okay, we are,
we have another problem. And presumably tells him he set up a trap and that hopefully
she's already dead, but I need you to go there and if she's not dead, I need you to kill
her. Ivan now comes to the house.
Yeah, fair enough.
Once again, wooden man at a different seat. Ivan finds Darcy, she is limbs at a bad angle.
She's still alive, but there's a pool of blood
under her head, so she's definitely dying.
And Ivan calls Ted to say, I found your phone.
I think it's broken beyond repair. A little code. And so they're like,
okay, great. Ivan leans down to kind of, again, taunt Darcy. He's an evil man. And he's like,
saying like, don't worry, it's all going to be over soon. soon. You're about to die. And then she starts doing something with her hands.
She's having this, she's trying to do something
and she uses her five fingers and arranges them
in a little bowling ball shape
and is pressing them to her chest and saying
like, we are connected. We are connected, which is something her sister had said to
her in the voicemail earlier. Um, what she was referring to because she had service at
the place now enough to be able to call her like I were connected to the internet or whatever. And so she's saying, we are connected, we are connected.
And we hear something like moving at the bottom of the stairs.
We've lost eyes on Wooded Man.
And Ivan is looking around, freaked out, and a camera flash goes off
in the bedroom upstairs.
Hell yeah.
He walks up the stairs to look in the bedroom.
The camera's just flashing and flashing,
taking photos just on the bed.
There's nothing in there.
He hears footsteps at the bottom of the stairs and...
She used the wooden man to kill Olin.
Sorry, now I'm like, because the footsteps were freaky.
Yeah.
So he...
Okay, so this wood man is strong.
Head bashing strong.
Yep. So Ivan tries to go down the stairs,
but the wooden man is just standing
at the bottom of the stairs now.
And there's like a moment of him like frozen,
like what is that?
And then the wooden man like lifts his arms up
and starts walking towards Ivan.
Ivan runs back up the stairs.
The wooden man is following at a, at a unhurried pace.
Very Michael Myers.
Very Michael Myers.
And Ivan runs to the place where the trap door is
and is trying to like climb over the balcony
because he realizes there's no way to get out there.
So he's like, if I jump back down,
maybe I can go out the front door.
But I think he falls off the balcony,
same distance that Darcy fell.
He falls right next to her,
lands bad on a leg and like the bone pops out of his leg.
Great, okay.
And he looks up through the trap, open trap door,
and Danny's face, little ghost face,
like smiles down at him.
And we see him like trying to get up,
but his legs so fucked up.
And then wooden man is standing right behind him.
And we just hear Ivan screaming and screaming.
And then he's like cut to him like motionless on the floor.
Okay.
Now we come back up with Ivan cuffed to a hospital bed in the mental hospital.
Okay.
Ted comes in and says, so what happened to you, Ivan?
I heard you have a pretty crazy story.
And Ivan is trying to figure out what's going on.
And he says like, what's happening, Ted?
What do you mean?
And Ted says, one of the nurses said that you said
a wooden man tried to attack you, a man made of wood.
And is just clearly using the opportunity
to make Ivan appear- Tie up that loose end. Ivan appear insane and be committed to this
hospital so that Ted can't be found out. Ivan is begging Ted, please don't do this. Ted
also says that the other nurse also said he wanted to speak to a priest
and Ivan is crying and crying. He's like, I won't say you did anything, I just want
to confess my sins. He says, nope, he's not going to allow that. Then he leaves the room
and leaves the door open and lets in another patient
that I didn't quite follow this,
but we've seen this patient a few times
wearing like a Hannibal Lecter mask.
So this is like a seemingly like cannibalistic man
and he just locks him in there with Ivan
and like mask is off now and we just see his little like head
poke up from the foot of the bed.
Ivan's screaming. Ivan's handcuffed and like can't move.
And this guy just like looks at his foot
and just starts like eating his foot.
Oh my God.
Ivan is screaming, cut away.
We're assuming, yeah, that Ivan's gonna get eaten alive.
So that's...
A really bad place to start. Ted is a fucked up man. cut away, we're assuming that Ivan's gonna get eaten alive. So that's-
A really bad place to start.
Ted is a fucked up man.
Yeah.
And we do hear a voicemail from Yana to Ted screaming at him, breaking up with him, being
like, I don't want any part of this.
I don't think she knows the truth necessarily, but she's still freaked out enough
to not want anything to do with him.
Ted can't possibly be worth this.
Right.
She's like, don't ever call me again.
I don't ever want to speak to you again.
So Ted is-
This, the man who claimed his wife was so in love with him.
She would have never survived this one very quickly.
He was able to be like, actually, goodbye.
You're not worth it.
So he-
Women are obsessed with me.
He arrives back at his house, at the house after work,
and there is a package that has been delivered.
Did Darcy die as far as we know?
Darcy died, yes.
There is like a, maybe Darcy was the one that looked up
and saw Danny smiling at her.
Cause it was, it's like a sweet moment of like,
obviously it's very sad,
but it is kind of like they're getting to be together again.
Again, if I'm a detective in this,
and this man chooses to continue living in the home
where at least as far as I know,
two members of his family have been murdered
on the same night, one year apart.
Yeah, we're gonna take a closer look into that.
I am not loving this guy's vibe at the very least.
Especially since like the murderer quote unquote is dead.
He's no longer with us.
Because I locked him up in my hospital
and then uh-oh he got eaten by another guy in my hospital.
Right.
But I'm really good at my job, I'm a good doctor
and other than those, other than the guy escaping
and killing my wife and then the other guy who worked for me
who killed her sister then got eaten under my watch.
Other than that, I'm really good, really cool
and nothing to see here. Can you believe all this has happened to me? Can you believe it? Yeah, I'm really good, really cool, and nothing to see here.
Can you believe all this has happened to me?
Can you believe it?
Yeah, I'm just super unlucky.
And if you think that's bad,
women are obsessed with me.
So he gets this box delivered and opens it up
and it is the haunted bellboy bell from the open.
He sets it down on the dining table in front of him
and he kind of smirking like, oh yeah, I remember this.
And he's-
This bitch trying to get me from beyond the grave,
it won't work.
Yeah.
And he, you know, could just throw that bell
right in the trash.
But of course, he's like, I'm going to ring it.
I got it.
And he rings it.
And there's like a moment where he like looks a little scared.
He's looking around.
He like, like maybe he heard a noise.
But a couple minutes go by, nothing happens.
And he looks smug as ever, and he's like,
oh, I knew it, I knew there was no truth to anything
that Darcy said, and he's sitting there across from the bell
and we get a wide shot and see behind him,
a ghost bell boy, and that's the end of the movie.
Okay. Okay, I like that, that was good. him a ghost bellboy. And that's the end of the movie.
Okay.
Okay, I like that.
That was good.
That was fun.
That was a good one.
It's scary.
It's really scary.
I mean, the filmmaking of course is what.
The storytelling.
It's the storytelling that did it for me.
But yeah, it is a really scary one
and it's rare that I get scared.
I really liked it and I'm excited to watch his other movies.
I think he has another one coming out soon too,
Damien McCarthy.
Love, I realize I didn't do any Irish accents really
during that, but they are, it is Irish.
It is Irish.
So that's also Irish. Irish. It is Irish. So that's also Irish.
Irish.
Irish.
Irish.
So he, Damien McCarthy has a movie
in post-production called Hocam.
A horror writer visits an Irish inn
to scatter his parents ashes unaware the property
is said to be haunted by a witch.
Has Adam, Adam Scott in it.
Oh, that's fun. Fun, yes. I'm, I'm, I'm's Adam Scott in it.
That's fun. Fun, yes, I'm into it.
I like Damien McCarthy's style.
I'm excited for the whole extended universe.
Me too, and it's weird you say Adam Scott
because the whole time I kept thinking like,
I wish they could just throw on Parks and Rec
or something when Yana was over.
Like I literally kept thinking that myself. Like what would you do? Like you gotta just put on, you gotta just like put on Parks and Rec or something when Yana was over. Like I literally kept thinking at myself,
like what would you do?
Like you gotta just put on,
you gotta just like put on Parks and Rec.
You gotta put on a TV show that just like,
you know, eases that tension.
Something nice and calming.
Why are people like watching TV more
in these horror movies, you know?
Yeah, that makes me think I watched Mountain Head
last night and-
Oh, how was it?
It's fun.
It's like what you expect it to be, I think.
Right.
Is it worth a watch?
I think it's worth the watch.
Okay.
And there's a scene where I'm pretty sure
they're watching Yoga with Adrienne in it,
which really made me laugh.
Oh, fuck yeah.
Steve Carell's like doing some yoga
and I'm like, I'm pretty sure that's Yoga with Adrienne.
She's very funny.
Wait, is that, that's a movie?
Or is it a TV show? It's a movie, okay, okay, okay. Yeah, I watched Sirens. I mean, I'm not done with itenne, which was very funny. Wait, is that, that's a movie? Or is it a TV show?
It's a movie, okay, okay, okay.
Yeah, I watched Sirens.
I mean, I'm not done with it yet, but I fucking-
Oh, I've started it.
I'm enjoying it.
I'm enjoying it too.
So yeah, you guys, listeners,
throw on some Parks and Recs, some Sirens.
You gotta just be peaceful.
To come down from this scary time,
but also know that it's really,
watching the movie is very scary
and I was scared afterwards as well,
but it's kind of like everyone,
it's a little happy ending-ish.
Yeah, he gets what's coming to him.
Yeah, yeah, even though our protagonists do perish,
it is at least a satisfying ending.
Yeah.
So thank you to our patrons for picking it,
and we will do when evil lurks at some point in the future,
and you can hear Henley really being upset by,
you know the scene.
I mean, I won't be there. Oh, no.
I won't be there for that.
I mean, whether she's there or not, she will not be,
Henley will be out.
I'll be out.
Clocked out.
Henley isn't here anymore.
Oh boy, I had fun with that.
It was fun to get scared.
A little scared.
A little bit scared.

That was a hate gum podcast.
Hi there, my name is Alison Williams.
If you know who I am at all,
it would probably be thanks to my job as an actress
on shows like Girls and in movies like Megan.
Recently, when I was having a moment of gratitude
for my group chat, I thought,
I wish everyone could have these geniuses
at their fingertips like I do.
Well, now you do.
Hi, hi, it's Hope.
Hey babe, it's Jamie.
Welcome to our podcast, Landlines,
where we share our life-sustaining
and shame-extinguishing friendship.
We have known each other
and we've been friends for a very long time.
Hope was my first best friend, but it wasn't mutual.
I mean, I asked, I distinctly remember calling her on the phone and asking if she'd sit next to me on the bus and she said maybe.
At least she didn't say no.
She always says maybe.
She wasn't sure.
Maybe he was like discerning.
When I was pregnant, I started this group chat to prepare and crowdsource, and it's
been such a delight to troubleshoot with our friend group.
And we just had this thought, should we invite other people into our group chat?
I'm a therapist.
I'm a trained early childhood educator.
And I'm, well, you know, whatever I am.
I guess someone who has the vibe of having it all together.
And still, the three of us find it hard to be moms, partners, friends, family members, professional women,
and just, you know, adults.
The stuff we're talking about,
whatever the recent fight was with our partner
or the parenting concern we have or a funny thing
with our kids, or it's like, what's going on with my body?
I feel like I have like a family of squirrels
living in my lower abdomen.
Like I feel affirmed, I feel normalized, I feel like I'm not going fucking crazy.
And I had to talk it out with you guys with different perspectives and different identities
that you're juggling.
Totally.
Lifelong friendship has been our lifeline.
We sincerely hope our conversation makes you feel less alone in whatever you're going through.
So subscribe to landlines on Spotify, Apples, Pocket Casts, or wherever you get
your podcasts. New episodes are out now on Headcom. Love you!
