I think. Hi, and welcome to the first episode of Wherewolf Ambulance. This is our new horror movie podcast where we are going to talk about and review horror movies from all eras and all qualities will say, we're going to try to be funny. And by try, I mean try. I'm here with my friend Alan. Hello, Katie. And that would mean that I'm Katie. You are Katie. So we, in this episode, we're not really going to talk about any particular movie, but we just wanted to sort of talk about why we're doing this, and why you should actually care about what we have th. th. th. to to th. to to to th. to to th th to to th to to th the to to th to their th to to their to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to talk about any particular movie, but we just wanted to sort of talk about why we're doing this and why you should actually care about what we have to say. So, right, just sort of giving a bit of a history of our relationship with horror films and why we love these so much, why, like, for me anyway, why a horror is such a large part

of my, um, my entertainment intake and, you know, like it affects a lot of my entertainment intake and you know like it affects a lot of my lifestyle choices and stuff. Because you're a demented maniac obviously right? I am a demented. No I'm just a 40 year old fat nerds. So I think that's how it takes. Like everyone who likes horror am I right? Right yeah I am unfortunately the stereotype of the horror film. Big burly bearded dude, dresses of black all the time. Me too. Yeah, no. Yep.

So, just to get started, like, what is your, what's your, your history with horror films? Like, is there a film that you can point out that I started you down the road to appreciating horror and really like really following in love with it? Sure. Well I grew up in a house with no supervision because our parents are kind of morons. Yeah, I was a Lutchkey kid. Yeah, my parents were home, they just didn't care.

But my mom was really into Hitchcockcock so I saw a lot of those movies pretty young and the birds like pretty much mess me up from a young age. And I also watched a lot of Alfred Hitchcock Presents which I think was in syndication at that point and I think there was I think it was Alfred Hitchcock Presents. I should really Google this and find out for sure but there was an episode where I think it was a take on the monkeys paw where and I really don't have these details exactly right. Had I known I'd be doing this NPR style interview I would I would have better prepared my answers but

I think does that make me Terry Gross? There was a guy who died in a car accident. You know what? I'm not going to get into the details of this. Wait, you're not thinking of the vignette from the amicus tales in the crypt movie where the guy is chased down by the motorcyclist with the skull helmet? No. Okay, that's a monkey's paw story from that. Oh really? Well, essentially what the the crux of it was, was the w. The the w. The w. The wii. The w. The w. The w. The the w. The th. The th. The th. The th. The th. T. T. T. T. T. T. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I, th. I, th. I, I, thi. I, I'm, I, I, I, I, I, I, I th. I th. I th. I th. I, I th. I th. I, I, I th. I, I th. I, I, I, I, I th. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm not, I'm not th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I'm not th. I'm not th. I'm not th. I'm not th. I'm not th. I'm not th. Oh really? Yeah, yeah. Essentially what the crux of it was, was that the wind-up of the whole story was that there were intestines on the screen and I was eating spaghetti at the time because also I'm Italian and so what else would I be eating? Great. And I was eating. First racial stereotype of mine people. And I was eating the spaghetti and watching these intestines on TV and I imagined that the spaghetti was intestines and then I threw up. Oh wow.

And then I was like, well I need to see what happened so I'm going to go watch the rest of it. And I was like, oh well that's pretty mentally messed up. Oh yeah. Right, right. Right. That's pretty intense. Yeah. two distinct memories of being a kid and one was watching Dark Shadows. Oh yeah.

And I was probably five, six, seven years old. And I just remember there was an episode with a werewolf and I, it just creeped to the crap out of me. Is it driving an ambulance? Right, that's it. Then we end up here. It was the Dark Shadows episode and then watching Abbot and Castellumet Frankenstein and having nightmares for weeks about Dracula after that because I was like again six or seven years old. Yeah. And that's that but the thing that really for me cemented my love of horror films was my

father waking me up after I'd gone to bed at like eight or nine years old, waking me up around midnight to watch John Carpenter's remake of The Thing. Oh nice. Oh, he was so freaking hunky in that movie. You cannot deny it. Oh, no, he's the hunkiest. But my dad thought it was the original from the 50s. And so he then, I never saw the original. Oh, it's great. But he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he exposed me at that age to one of the goryest films.

Like that had come out into that time period. Did you guys watch the whole thing? Yeah, and I loved it. Yeah, I think my dad fell asleep and I just watched the whole thing. Yeah, so, so that's when I feel like, that's sort of my touchstone of like when I was just like, holy crap, I love this feeling of being scared by a movie. So, and I think, you know, that it really like, and I've just, I've craved that. Yeah. And I keep wanting that fix over and over again.

Like a junkie. Like, uh, yeah, a bit of a junkie. Yeah. Except I'm, you know, not stealing your stuff to, to, I can just... That was pretty shitty when you took my... when you took my engagement ring so that you could buy that Stephen King box set. I was pretty pissed about that. Stephen King box set. So, um, Kuh, you're originally from Pittsburgh. I am born and I've never lived anywhere else like most Bitsburgers.

So, um, you know, most, like it gets the name of Zombie City and all that stuff. Do you feel like, because of the Romero films? Do you feel like that's influenced? I mean, I guess so, probably, I don't know, I don't know what it would have been like to live anywhere else. I mean, like, Tom Savini lives in my neighborhood. It's true. That's like, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I th like like like like like like like like like like like like like I th. It's like I th. It's like I th. It's like I th. It's like I th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. It's, it's, it's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. th. th. that that that that that toge too. today, too. today, it gets todayto live anywhere else. I mean like Tom Savini lives in my neighborhood. It's true. We saw him at the pool last summer. Yeah, it sounds like I should live in a rich neighborhood, but I don't.

Tom Savini actually lives in like a pretty blue collar neighborhood here. Yeah. I'm telling this to our huge international audience that we have on this huge podcast here. But yeah, Alan and I saw Tom Savini at the pool last summer, and I had to like practically drag Alan away because he just kept saying, his thighs are so tan, which is super fucking weird. It wasn't as good at the time. It wasn't as good at the Renaissance Fair,

a poet's blouse unbutton to his navel. He's really open with his body, which is thine, he's, he's, he's, he's, th and he's, th and he's, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, like, like, like, th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thi, like, like, with his body which is fine. Would be two? He looks great. He looks great. He looks great. I was going to say for his age but he looks great for any age. Seems like a nice enough guy. I've never spoken to it. No. He's fine. He's fine. Yeah I guess so. Pittsburgh loves its horror I mean. Yeah like Randos on the street if I'm wearing like a you know Fulchi zombie t-s. t. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. Yeah like Randos on the street if I'm wearing like a you know Fulchie zombie t-shirt or something like Randos was like oh zombies I love zombies. Yeah so the I like how your your version of Pittsburghers and people going huh that's my version of everyone who's not me or my friends guys guys guys like them zombies hey you know they filmed that movie out there at him they I had him at the mall because that they had dawned at a dead a a a a the dead i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i m m m m m m m m s m s m s m s m s m s m s m s mc no they they they they they they they they they they th th they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they're they're they're th toy toy toy tm are tm are tm-c are tm-c are tm-y tm-m-y-m-m-y-m-y-y-m-y-s they're because that's where they had dawned in a dead. I think it was dawned to dead. It was one of them movies. Well no and everyone has a cousin who was an x-ray

of the dead. So. Um, well everyone has, yeah. But yeah, I feel like in Pittsburgh it runs pretty, pretty deep in the bones of this city at this point. You know, I grew up in Delaware. you know, I grew up in Delaware. I the the th. I grew up in th. I grew up in th. I grew up in th. I grew up in th. I grew up in the th. I grew up in th. I grew up in th. I grew up in the th. I grew up in the the th. I grew up. I grew up. I grew up. I grew up. I grew up. I grew up. I grew up. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I th. th. th. I th. I state and home of tax-free shopping and then that's pretty what we're out. We're out. Well those are nice things. It's true. And even I lived in Philly for years and there's like it still doesn't have the same vibe that Pittsburgh does. Home of anger and yeah. Pittsburgh just has a creepy vibe to it's great cemeteries and great cemeteries, creepy architecture and yeah. Could you tell people about your blog? Just to sort of give more of that that that that CV of horror like can you

well I'll just tell you a little bit Katie does an amazing blog. It's not amazing. It's very silly. It's one of my favorite things on the internet and it's actually the inspiration for pushing me to ask to ask to ask to ask to ask to ask to ask to ask to ask to to to to to to to to to to to to the to the the to the the to the the th. th. th. thi. the the the the the thi. thi. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th.

I's one of my favorite things on the internet, and it's actually the inspiration for pushing me to ask her to do this podcast with me. I write and illustrate a very silly blog called What Will Be Left of Them. tho, where I basically just watch. It started out as just horror movies in general, and then sort of like write up a little review and illustrate them or illustrate myself or whomever I'm with watching them generally my cats in

Microsoft Paint and just put them on this blog but it's since turned into just like kind of crappy movies because like nothing else is really that fun to draw like I can't really just draw like Friday the 13th or something like that when I could draw like Russell Maniac. I'm getting upwards of 50 hits a day these days so it's like really taking off I am making almost zero dollars a day. Well regardless of how many hits you get. No it's not the point. It's a really good blog it's really funny and it's like I love it I love it I think it's fantastic. I am I'm not very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very th th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

I don't think we would be harder nerds if we were very good to talk about ourselves. So with with this

this podcast we would just want to have fun and talk about movies and try to get people interested in maybe movies they haven't th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th or like thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I thi. I thi. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I thi. I thi. I thi. I'm thi. I'm to. I'm toge. I'm toge. I'm toge. I'm toge. I'm toge. I'm toge. I'm toda. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I movies and try to get people interested in maybe movies they haven't seen that like we've seen or taken it before or you know we'll watch stuff that we neither of us have ever seen or people recommend to us or and we try to watch stuff that's easily accessible via the internet or I hate to pay for things too I'm pretty cheap right right where you know I buy a lot of DVDs and stuff but and I think it'll be interesting to be to be tas to be the the tas the the tas tas the tas the tas tas the they'll be tas tas they'll be they'll be tas tas tas tas tas tas tas tas tha tha tha tha ta tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha the the the tha the tha tha tha t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. the. they's they's the. they's they're they'll they're they're the the the the tha. tb. tb. tb. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. tb. tb. tb. tb. tb. tb. to pay for things too, I'm pretty cheap. Right, right. Where, you know, I buy a lot of DVDs and stuff. And I think it'll be interesting too, because our taste and horror are pretty different. Right. I think my taste towards tends towards silly and low brow and just low budget terrible, whereas you tend to be a little more, well, why don't you tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell, tell, thea, thea, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, I, I'm, tha, tha, tha. tha. tha. tha, tha, tha, tha, thea, thea, thea, thea, thea, thea, thea, thea, thea, t, t, thea, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, thea, t.... And, t. the. the. the. the. the. the. thea, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm,ell me? I mean, I like lowbrow a lot. I like a lot of crappy. So basically, like, you're telling me I'm wrong.

No, but I also like, I mean, I think I'm more into like the Asian horror boom of the 2000s. Yeah. I'm into, like, I love supernatural horror stuff. Yeah. So, yeah. I like, like, like exploitation stuff a lot more than I do. Probably. That stuff makes me kind of want to jump out of my skin and then take my skin and like throw it out of a window and then like take my bones and just like break them and like I don't know play drums with them.

Obviously it's going to be really hard because I've broken them. So I feel like that's going to be an interesting dynamic on the show where I'm going to like probably you know right is my shit at some point but uh so but I do like export I love like biker horror movies and all that stuff and yeah I mean like Texas Chainsaw Massacre had a profound effect on me when I was a child and like that I feel like that's total exploitation cinema like do you do you think yeah just the way it shot and everything like it's it's totally in that genre but yeah I I love like I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I th th that I that I that I that I that's like like like like like like like like like that's like that's like that's like that's like that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th like the the like the like the like tho-I tho-I tho-I tho-I tho-I tho-I tho-I tho-I tho-I that. Like it's totally in that genre. But yeah, I love all that 70s garbage.

Some of the stuff. Some of that just makes me feel so uncomfortable that I almost can't take it. Well, that's what I think I like about it is it makes me, like, you know, rather than a movie like guess then I felt something I was felt anger but like there you go. I'm like yeah so that's what they wanted right it was inspiring. But like yeah I'd rather like a movie that elicited like a whole myriad of a like if I watched something like Last House on the left. I couldn't I couldn't even finish last house the the the the the the the the the th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was like. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I was. I was. Yeah. I'm. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I. Yeah. I. Yeah. I. Yeah.... Yeah................................................................. Yeah.............. Yeah. Yeah. I. I. Yeah. Yeah. I. I. I. I. th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. Yeah. I th. I th., I honestly couldn't. I thought it was a really great movie because of how like they worked comedy into it and how

like it was so upsetting and just like... It was supposed to be funny? No, there was parts of it. There's the cops that are like this comedic relief in the middle of this super upsetting movie that I found really interesting. Yeah, I don't know. So I feel like that'll be a fun dynamic. that. that. that. that that that that that that that that that that th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi. th. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi th. It was like it was like it was like it was like it was like it was like it was like it was like it was like it was like it was like it was like it was like it was like it was like it was like it was th. th. th. th. th. th. th. It was thi. It was thi. It was thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. dynamic here where I'll probably cry at some point. Sure. Yeah, good. When I finally make you watch martyrs and you're just going to break down. Yeah. But yeah, I think that we're coming, and there's also a ten year age discrepancy between

the two of us. I'm 10 years older than Katie is. I feel like I mean, I came up in the 80s that was like my my that's when I got into movies like that's when I got into horror movies specifically so and I came up in the 90s which is why I have so many jinko's in my closet. Just a quiver of them coming out right now. So yeah this is a bit scatter shop but I just wanted us to do an introductory episode to try and, yeah, bring you guys into what we're gonna try and accomplish here.

We wanna have fun, we wanna talk about horror movies. We wanna expose people to stuff that they may have never seen before, or may have never heard of before. And we also want something new that you hadn't thought about before or maybe we just agree with you and you love listening to people agree with you because who doesn't love that? Oh yeah.

So yeah that's all we're trying to do here is just, I mean the show is called Ware Wolf Ambulance. I would hope from that tiol about anything horror related. I don't know directors I don't know right where I really enjoy that. Like so I'm here just for pure I'm the I'm basically the ex-quarterback of this I'm the I'm gonna be the color man. I'm here to be like he's throwing the ball he's throwing it good. Katie will make a quarterback. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I the the the the the the the the the the th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I'm th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I'm the. I'm the. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm tho. I'm tho. I'm the. I'm the. I'm the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I'm th. th. th. th. the. the. I'm here the. I'm here the. I'm here th. I'm here the. I'm here the. I'm here the. I'm the. I th. I th. I'm here to be like, he's throwing the ball. He's throwing it good. Katie will make sports references that I won't get. Yeah, see, a quarterback is the guy who throws the ball in baseball. Oh, okay.

He's actually, it's a refund? Yeah, get a quarterback. Oh, papp. Let's wrap it up there. So yeah. of these films and like, oh, the, you know, the assistant director went on to work on this, and that stuff excites me. Like, there's six degrees of separations from film, so I'll probably talk about that stuff

and Katie will get bored and, yeah, yell at me, but, so yeah. Because I'm mean. And funny at least, while she's being mean. Right. have the first movie out on the first movie podcast I mean out on Halloween 2014 right which is warlock oh yeah which is a movie that is a movie it's good I think you'll find out yeah you could get our reviews would if I listen to it when that drops when, when that hot, it drops like it is hot.
