Good morning and welcome to the Eat Show. I implore you to drag your ears to the center of the microphone. For today's topic is horror Ek Show dot show InfoDeek Show dot show at eek show dash M4K Fokila. Do you like horror movies? Do you watch horror movies? Does horror bother you? Is it useless for you? Do you not like things that are negative, scary, potentially gory, unrefined, zero comedy. Most of the time pretty unrealistic. When they're realistic, they're really scary, right? When you have horror movies that are scary, like seven, like that's a horror movie, right? That's a horror movie. You're talking about a serial killer that's acting out the seven deadly sins as a sadistic psychopath and willing to do whatever it takes to get through to society in all its forms to prove some point by being a sadistic murderer. Seven was, I mean, all time. Wasn't the box, wasn't the box? That scene. Crazy, crazy, crazy. I will not destroy that epic ending. Just in case each show listeners have not indulged in what is the movie Seven. Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kevin Spacey. Masterpiece. Do you like horror movies? Did you like horror movies when you were young? I liked horror movies because I had no restrictions on what I was watching. My parents never fucking paid attention to what I was doing. And they they definitely were not good parents. There's no question about that. I understand that they maybe didn't try to be bad parents, but that's the whole point. You gotta fucking work at being good at something. You gotta work at something that's fucking difficult. Being a parent is difficult. Letting your fucking six-year-old watch the shining. Tony's a little boy that lived in my mouth. Fucking The Shining. Fucking blood gushing out of an elevator. Let's just say I had fucking horror dreams. I used to have dreams that fucking the band Kiss and all their fucking makeup dressed up as, you know, kind of demon lookup. The fucking Gene Simmons looks like a demon, especially when you're fucking five or six. Kiss used to fly in through my fucking trailer window and kidnap me and fly me off. True dream I had when I was a kid. I'm pretty sure it was caused by fucking watching horror movies. I saw Friday the 13th. Parts 1, 2, 3 before I was 10. I might have even seen before I was fucking nine. It's pretty fucking wild. Kevin Bacon in Friday the 13th, part one, by the way. No wonder fucking six degrees of Kevin Bacon is a huge game people played connecting him to fucking movie after movie. He was in fucking Friday the 13th. The original. Does horror make you scared? Does it bother you? Does it bother you that uh it grabs an emotion that isn't as common as a lot of other emotions? I think happiness and sadness are very common. Humor's very common. What people think is funny is very different. But being scared is sort of a that's hard to tap into. You don't always feel scared, right? Usually you're fairly supported and protected in your life. Unless you come from a shit family. Horror movies tend to tap into that sort of what if? Do you think you might experience what you're seeing? Do you think you might bump into fucking Jason walking through the woods? Be like, hey, what's up, man? Nice hockey mask. Before you fucking are able to get away, you're down an arm. Sorry, bud. I thought you were a great goalie. And then you find out he's like a fucking historic serial killer who's just wearing the mask because someone pulled the fucking potato sack with the one hole off his head, and he needed a new cover-up for his fucking mutant face. There's all kinds of crazy fucking horror movies out there, though. I mean, Jesus, the ideas are over and over. They're crazy. You've got the classics of Freddie Krueger and fucking taking advantage of you and trying to kill people in his dreams because the parents of the people that he was sort of uh hurting in the in the neighborhood ganged up on him and fucking blocked him in a fucking old warehouse and burned him. So he's like, I'm gonna come back and torment your kids for the rest of time and fucking dreams. Dream warriors ain't gonna dream no more. Little fucking Dawkins. Anybody out there know that fucking rock band from fucking the 80s? Fucking Dawkin. My fucking brother and his friends used to listen to all that fucking shit. Horror is an interesting fucking genre, it really is. And you've got the tamest of horror movies that are sort of funny, like Evil Dead 2, you know, where like the entity of death is chasing people around the woods. And it's kind of funny. I mean, the dialogue's funny. It's like kind of a shock thriller horror comedy. And then you have, you know, crazy fucking horror movies like The Strangers. The Strangers is about a fucking guy and a girl that are coming from some wedding and they're like a really tight couple, and the guy wants to marry her, but she doesn't want to marry him. They like each other still, and then these fucking strangers in a random neighborhood show up and torment them and fucking kill them. And that's just all it is. It's also a fucking like sort of like, holy shit, if you're at home watching that with your significant other, that would be kind of scary. You're like, okay, this is a movie about people like us, and what if you're actually coming from a wedding and you're with your girl or with your fucking guy, depending on if you're a guy or a girl, or you're fucking, you know, guy, guy, girl, girl, whatever you fucking want to do in your life. You're there and you're coming from a wedding and you're fucking watching this movie in a fucking neighborhood at night and it's quiet, it's past 11, and you hear a knock on your door. You know what I mean? Like, and you're watching fucking the strangers. You're like, holy shit, I'm in the fucking movie. You know, it's happening to me. You're gonna think that. It's not some fucking like Jehovah's Witness at the door at a le past 11 p.m. on a fucking Friday night. I mean, that one's I mean, that that emotion is uh it's hard to pull that out. I think horror and being scared is sort of an interesting feeling. Oddly enough, I think I've always liked it. I think because I saw so many horror movies when I was young that I shouldn't have been watching. I was uh across the board seeing things. I used to see movies also that I shouldn't see that had language and nudity. You guys notice that constantly in the Eek Show, I have a potty mouth, and I think that adds to my story, my emotions. I do not speak with a potty mouth on a consistent basis like this within my own job, work. I don't speak like this consistently or at all around my daughter. My wife has heard heard me swear because she met me away from my job initially. She met me away from being a father and a husband, right? In the beginning of the relationship. She met me when I still used to go out past hanging in or going to dinners. Well, you're younger, maybe you go to clubs, you go to bars, you go to parties, right? You're seeking meeting that significant other. I mean, I met her at a fucking bar. You know, I certainly had the loose, uh, loose lips sink ships. Oh, my uh fucking grandparents used to say that. Like, I better not go on any fucking ships because they're gonna sink. Without much I swear. My dad, shut up, you fucking little shit. I'm gonna fucking shut your ass up. You got it? Shut up. You gonna let me watch this? Then shut the fuck up. Are you gonna let me watch this? Then shut up. You gonna let me fucking watch my television show? Shut up. Shut the fuck up. Yeah, but uh, shut up. Uh uh shut up shut up. Shut the fuck up. That's what he would do over and over and over again. My dad was a horror movie. Living live horror movie. Just call it Dad coming to a theater near you October 31st. There's a man north of the city who just literally will constantly belittle you and put you in the corner while he fucking pelts you with insults. This October 31st on Halloween night. Come see Dad. Oh, it'd be front row fucking throwing popcorn at the fucking screen. Shut you fucking bitch! Why did you fucking yell at me so much? Why did you fucking try to push my mom out of a fucking wheelchair? Yes, I know it's not funny. Ha ha ha, not not not. Kinda, kinda, kinda. The past is funny, it's the past. Either you move past the past or you fucking stay stuck in it like quicksand. And if you're in the quicksand, what happens? You sink right underneath. And that's all she wrote, folks. Horror to me is sort of a connection to a creative style of uh thinking as well. It's sort of taking the bad and maybe putting it on a on a template or writing something that you you know, you sometimes don't feel great about what's going on in your life, so you you need to get it out. Some people don't get that shit out, right? They don't talk about their feelings, they don't want to talk about what's bothering, they don't have anybody to talk about what's bothering them. If you're creative, sometimes you can get it out. I mean, a lot of people fucking do it through songs. They write about their breakups, their relationships, their past, their disdain. They write about happy things too, but this episode is not about happiness and comedy and dramas. It's about horror movies. You know, and and horror movies are not particularly happy. There's fucking some weirdo like sort of uh horror movies that have been coming out more recently, like the the demonic ones, like Talk to Me and Heretic and Hereditary. Oh my god, if you've seen if you've not seen Hereditary and you're interested in horror movies, Hereditary is another possession sort of demon movie that I won't wreck. It's just fucking completely nuts. It really is completely nuts. Well acted, too. Usually horror movies are just shit acting. You know what I mean? It's usually it's based around the horror character, which is sort of a supernatural monster or being or idea. You know, there's movies out there too that are psychological horrors. That's why I thought The Shining is so good. Um what's that one that came out recently? Uh Long Legs. That one was odd. It's kind of about a fucking uh sort of someone who believes in the devil, and then sort of the people that this person had possessed to sort of believe in this path. What is the one with the fucking there's a kid in a house, he's stuck there, and the whole movie is sort of quiet. You don't really hear much in the movie. It's very recent. It came out like the last few years. It reminded me a little bit of the Baba Duck, but the Baba Duck has like a mom and a boy in it, and they're like the central characters. There is this fucking weird movie. I remember when it came out, I used to fucking leave messages to my buddy with just the title of the movie. Because I think when you when you disguise your voice and you talk about something like that's horror, like, it just sounds funny. I I think that's funny. Like if someone came up to me, like I'm let's just say we'd be in the high school planetarium in in class when we took astronomy, and you know, we were friends with pretty much knew our class because we're always with them. And when the lights would go out, and we're sort of during the lesson, we're supposed to be listening to the teacher, and we had a planetarium at our school, which sounds like it's a fucking high-end school. It was not, but we had a planetarium that was pretty cool. And there was a girl that we, you know, we were friends with, but we also thought she was good looking, and you know, we'd you'd you'd you'd try to flirt with her, but you were just flirting with her by trying to be funny and make her laugh. You know, most good-looking girls get guys' attentions you know on a consistent basis in high school. If if the guys are fucking, I guess, brave enough to be friends with her or talk to her, and then you as you're getting older, you'd hopefully talk to everybody because you know that hopefully judgments start to fade away as you're headed towards college. But we would always be like, whatever her her name was, we'd just say that name in a deep voice just because it was dark and be like, Everall, you know, and say it in her ear during the the class, and she'd fucking crack up because it was funny. You know, I think when you do impressions and you try to be funny, it's scary. Scary can be funny too, man. Very much so. So I clearly can't remember. I was trying to give myself a little ad lib there so I could fucking remember what the movie was, because I used to fucking say it when it came out. Fuck. What was that movie? It's about the kid and fuck stuck in the house and the wall, he's got no way out of the house, and there's a fucking killer there, and it's like an hour and a half of like nothing but cartoons on in the background, and there's no talk, there's no fucking monologue, except some a few voices at the end that are like scary. It's some dark voice, like, I'm under the bed. Man, what was the name of that movie? It's something like oh, does it I kind of want to say the wrong thing and sound fucking stupid. Eek Show, very forgetful. This must be a blast for all you listeners out there, like, yeah, every episode he talks about something, then he forgets. He can't give us the fucking punchline of it. Maybe that's the fucking point. Maybe I'm trying to fucking draw you in so you fucking have a fucking opinion and can write back, hey, it's this movie. And I'll be like, oh yeah, you're right. I should have fucking remembered it. These these episodes are on the spot. They're from fucking while I drive or when I'm fucking parked in a lot. And I forgot. Oh, rhyming, fucking rhyming. Horror movies are not always as fucking joyous and uh fun as other movies because you pay attention and you sort of be scared. You see things like blood and fucking death. I don't encourage and like those things outside of the movies, but I think that I saw so much fucking crazy movies, and I remember reading the fucking book It when I was young too, which is a fucking long book. And I remember seeing that series when I was young and Pennywise, like Pennywise, you always think about the villains, like the top ones, like Michael Myers. There's a classic horror, right? You hear that, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You're looking over your shoulder. That music comes on. It's it's such a fucking genre classic. I mean, that movie's simplicity. Fucking talk about horror simplicity. You see him behind the fucking tongue fucking sheets on the clothesline, hanging fucking close to dry on the clothesline. Old school. Fuck. Fantastic. And he's right behind the sheets, and she looks out there. She's like, backs up from the window, and then she looks again, and he's not there. I would have fucking had him over for dinner and just say, like, listen. I know you can't eat because you got the mask on. There's no real there's no hole in the mouth part of the mask, right? He's got a hole. I think there might be a little hole in the nose or through the eyes. He's able to breathe because the holes in the eyes, but fucking just a kind of morphed fucking melted William Shatner, you know, Star Trek. That's that's what the original mask was. It was just a fucking shape. It was called the shape, and with the melted sort of engravement impression face of William Shatner. And they made that into fucking Michael Myers, huh? So really it's fucking Michael Shatner or Captain James T. fucking Mike Myers. I love how you can just walk and always catch whoever's running away. What a fucking great. Like, imagine you just run races or you're a fucking runner, marathons, fucking 100-yard dash. Uh oh, you know, it's fucking Usain Boltz, like been winning the 100 and 200 consistently. You know, back when he was the best runner. And all of a sudden they're like, oh, we got a late scratch. Like a fucking horse race. They're like, who's stepping in? It's some serial killer from Haddonfield, Illinois, Mike Myers. And Usain Boltz like starts to get worried. You know, not only might he kill everybody after the race, but he's like, he knows Mike Myers just may just fucking win the race. Just walking along. He's broken records. He's running as fast as he can, and he looks to his right, and there's Mike Myers just fucking walking along, holding his knife. The big fucking kind of butcher knife. You know, the the tip of the butcher knife just crosses the fucking line. Like, oh, Michael Myers is broken Hussein's bolts. All-time 100 and 200 record. What an unbelievable performance by the murderer of Hattenfield. Horror is quite the uh genre. I'm curious, have you seen horror movies that I don't know about? I didn't mention too many in this episode. I think it's more about the art and the genre of horror. I'm curious why people may like it or not like it. Did you grow up with it? Were you always told you couldn't watch it and then you wanted to watch it? Did you kind of sneak away from your house and parents with other friends that were allowed to watch it or where parents weren't paying attention where you could watch it? Do you hate it? Does it scare you? You can't sleep right when you see things that are bad or horror or scary. I mean, that's probably more common than people that like horror. I don't run into a lot of people that are like, oh, I love horror movies. I love fucking seeing someone get decapitated. I don't love seeing that, but it doesn't bother me. I do think most horror films are fucking completely fake, right? It's fake. I know there's real bad in the world. That sucks. I don't want any of the real bad. Just fucking death and negative things in the world. They're all fucking are terrible. Which is why on a screen it's sort of an interesting genre because you know it's not real. Being scared is an interesting feeling because you can be scared and you know it's over. It ends. It's not real. Or at least that's what I think about it. So I'm curious if you've seen horror movies. I would recommend uh uh seeing that movie Hereditary, Session 9. I don't remember if I've talked about that before. That is a crazy movie about sort of guys doing the asbestos on an old sort of uh medical hospital that happened to be where serial killers, like actual fucking lunatics, were held and kept to be rehabilitated with sort of sit-down psychological sessions that were taped. And I'll just leave it at that. It's a group of guys that work at the place, it's desolate, wrecked, and they're redoing it or kind of trying to clean it up. And it's fucking very psychological, creepy horror. Everybody in Eekshow, Eekshow.show is the Instagram, info at eekshow.show is the email. Uh at eekshow-m4K is the YouTube handle. I hope everybody is doing well in Eekshowland. It flies right into the question. The one thing. Did you grow up? Were you allowed to watch horror movies, or were you told not to? Or were you not allowed to watch anything? I mean, it wasn't different in the sense that my parents didn't fucking they didn't regiment anything when I was a kid. I mean, I ended up being a really good kid, but not when it came to fucking being around a dad that fucking swore all the time and didn't fucking work and didn't fucking shower and fucking, you know, literally was letting me watch whatever I want. You know, I'm sure that's probably it brings back memories of anything that's out there that's crazy. I'm like, oh, I'm gonna watch it. I'm not it, I have no inhibitions anyways. So when it comes to movies, like, yeah, fucking, I'll watch it. I think horror movies, to me, like, I'm always interested in what people wrote. How did they get to the idea to be creative to try to scare somebody? What it how do they write their story? So that's my uh one thing. Were you allowed to watch horror movies and were you not allowed? And right back to that question, you know, do you hate them, do you like them, do you do you love them? Do they intrigue you? Do they scare the shit out of you? Onward and upward, I apologize for not remembering that one movie that's not that old, I should know it. Have an excellent afternoon and weekend. You have now just listened to the Eek Show Horror.
