Hey, it's Waters from the Waters Week of Call.
Hope you have a great weekend.
We'll finish up Creepy Week next week.
You know, Tunes Day is Halloween, so we gotta do Creepy Tunes.
But what a week this week.
On Wandom Wednesday, we were talking about scary movies.
The number one scary movie is Halloween.
Got so classic.
Michael Myers.
Yes, released 45 years ago today.
It
scared me a lot when I saw it when I was
16.
Yeah, it scared me a lot too.
And now it doesn't really scare me so much, but the suspense is done so well.
And John Carpenter's score is brilliant.
Yeah, it really is the theme to Halloween.
You know, I finally got my wife to watch it with me last Halloween and she loved
it.
Oh, yeah.
And I love the sequels too.
Oh, you're just all about it, aren't you?
We have on Bonino, we have the score for Halloween one and for Halloween three.
Wow, you're more all about it than I previously thought.
Yeah, I love to make dinner and feel like there's a murderer lurking in my house.
You know, you don't sound like that kind of person but hey, I'm
not here to judge.
The original version of Night of the Living Dead.
That's a great movie.
How old were you?
Dude, I was nine.
So go back to when you were a nine-year-old watching that movie.
What was that like?
That one got me pretty good.
Yeah.
Which after that one came out of the original Halloween.
And that was 1978.
So I was 11.
You were 11?
We
went as a family.
We went as a family to Halloween.
Sounds like a horrifying way to grow up.
What are you, one of the Adam's family?
That's
how you
grew up if
you wanted to go-go.
If
you think
you can't pick it up.
Okay,
simple enough.
Kinda crazy, that movie turns 45 today.
Yeah, you're about my age.
I never saw a scary movie in the theater when I was 11.
I
was the youngest and my sisters and my mom made me check the backseat of the car before we got in and after the movie was over.
Well, I guess that's the kind of guy you are, you know?
You're the brave
man of the family.
What's don't kill you makes you stronger, right?
And the favorite classic movie is Pumpkin
Head.
I don't know if I've ever seen Pumpkin Head.
Oh, Mike, it's awesome.
You gotta watch it.
Really?
When did that come out?
It's been out for a long time.
Yeah.
There's Pumpkin Head, and then there's the sequel to Pumpkin Head, and they are both
awesome.
I'll bet the sequel is Pumpkin Head 2.
Yes.
See?
I didn't even know, but I'm going to have to check out Pumpkin Head now.
Yes.
Can you do it?
Can you do the march?
Mom?
Mom, is that you?
Oh,
that's a horror movie right there, man.
What is your favorite horror movie?
Well, let's see.
When my wife and I went for our second date, we went to see the Texas Stainsaw
Massacre.
Oh, man, with leather face.
And that was down at the Paramount, which is no longer a movie theater.
So this is your second date?
That was our second date.
And we came out of there.
We skipped church that night.
Sunday night, we went to Texas Stainsaw Massacre.
We get out of there.
We walk through our car, actually.
I'm sorry, we ran into our car.
Yeah.
The Amityville Horror and Poltergeist.
And with Amityville Horror, you're talking the original from the 70s?
Yeah, the original Amityville Horror.
That was a great movie.
I only saw it on television, but I read the book when I was in junior high school, and I read it at night.
I went to bed freaked out every night, but still, I couldn't not read that book every night.
I sit with my kids.
My kids will watch it.
We watch it around Halloween.
We always watch the Amityville Horror and Poltergeist.
Yeah,
well, good.
You're doing what what should be done.
So
I
am and moving right along to throwback Thursday We were talking about our favorite creepy TV shows
and I feel we're a little bit akin because I remembered exactly the episode of Twilight so that you're talking about the mannequin one Yeah, that's my personal favorite.
Well, I'm glad you said that because you explain it and it sounds really silly What a mannequin goes into real life and and then she forgets She's a mannequin and then she hears mannequins calling to her and what the hell is going on?
There was one other episode though.
Yeah, what there's a bum finds a dead man in the alley with a shiny pair of shoes.
Yes
Hello, you still there?
Oh, I think I lost you into the twilight zone.
Oh my god Found a new pair of shoes and then he was gone off into the ether.
Oh, I got another phone ringing.
Hold on.
Hello
Hey Mike, I think we got our call dropped.
Thank
God, I
was so worried about you.
You were talking about finding a dead guy in the alley and finding new shiny shoes, and then you was gone.
I figured you zipped on into
the Twilight
Zone.
Yeah, I'm on the Twilight Zone.
Twilight Zone?
Sounds familiar.
You don't remember that?
Of course I do.
You know, it'd be a Twilight Zone if you went to a world where nobody remembered the Twilight Zone, because that would be
crazy.
I don't know how to be dark shadows.
Dark shadows.
With, uh, uh, don't tell me.
Barnabas Collins.
I
said, I said
don't tell me.
What are you doing?
Are you even listening to me?
No.
Hey, Jim, from Animosa.
Hello, Jim.
All my nightmares belong to
the outer limit.
Do not adjust your
set.
Some of the scariest stuff I ever saw when I was a kid.
How about the Adams
family?
Can you sing the theme?
No, I don't even want to go there.
Can you snap your fingers?
Oh,
yeah.
You got a great snap.
Are you sure you're not Morticia Adams?
I'd rather be lurch.
I've never heard any ladies say they'd rather be lurch.
Why would you rather be lurch?
Follow me, please.
Follow me.
Now do the you rang bit.
You rang.
That makes up for you not singing the theme.
Back in 83, I think, uh, The Sins of Dorian Gray.
Boy, I don't remember.
That was in a major TV
movie?
Yeah, it was a TV movie that the main character basically had wished never to get old, and they keep sharing the screen test.
The screen test gets older and just creepy looking.
Right.
Every time she watches it and she doesn't age.
So it's a girl?
It's a girl,
yeah.
Oh, because the original picture of Dorian Gray, he's a guy.
Exactly.
Okay.
Yeah, they made it into a woman, but the screen test, they've got a
like turning around and presenting this line for the screen test.
And toward the end of the movie, it is just the creepiest.
We've done a really good job with the special effects.
And it's so creepy.
I remember as a kid watching it, and it was the first time I literally got goosebumps watching the movie.
I think somebody put the whole movie up on YouTube at this point.
And last but not least, you remember Friday morning, and you revealed your scariest word.
My scary part has a little bit of a lead up to
it.
OK.
Your teenage daughter introduced
Okay.
Spike is your daughter's boyfriend's name.
If your daughter is dating a Spike, Spike is the scariest word in the English language.
Yeah, well, how old is your daughter?
You don't want your 15 year old dating Spike.
Do you want to give me Spike's address and I'll go
over
and have a little chat
with him if you know what I'm saying.
So this
was a while ago.
I had
a while ago.
Do you know whatever happened to Spike?
You know what?
I think he's a lawyer.
Makes sense.
Okay, scary word.
Lawyer.
Lawyer.
Spike.
Yeah.
And now Spike for the prosecution.
For a scary word, I want to give you kids, but the unscary word or the...
of that is grandkids because you can give them back to your kids and let them do what they did to you.
Yeah well kids are scary.
The screaming it's like oh my god the screaming I mean screaming is scary anyway but when it's your child it's like oh my god you know but it they are they're very small horror stories.
Yes they are.
Yes they
are but yeah when they're grandkids they'll they'll come visit and then they'll go
home.
Yay!
That's
why
they give you kids first, so they can punish you before getting the reward of the grandkids.
Wait till
you have grandkids!
That
is a great example of a scary phrase when you're a kid.
Yeah.
Oh no, I'm gonna get it now.
Now I know I'm gonna get it.
When you're home with just your mom, I mean, your mom is usually, and this is stereotypically a nice, soft touch, but then she says, though, wait till your father gets home, and then you know it's serious.
But then again, your mom could give you the look.
Yeah.
And that straighten you out, too.
Yeah, the look and or the wooden spoon.
Yeah.
Politics is a scary word because I don't care who you are.
They're all scary You never know what you're getting from anybody either side anymore, you know, it's like come on
You know, I
just yeah, I just want to live my life man.
I don't want things to be too expensive and come
on
Yeah, politics there you go.
That's why
they have the election so close to Halloween
Yeah,
I think
that's
it Yeah,
I'll consider that one word
Yeah,
maybe Harvey Karbanger is even even a scarier scarier word.
Yeah,
or Harvey Karkrasher
Hey,
you don't have to tell me where the Slee Stack comes from, Danny
Boy, huh?
Can you imitate the Slee Stack?
Can you do the sound, or will that just... Maybe it fills you with too much terror.
Yeah, well, it was like...
Yeah, it was like a
weird looking things.
Oh, yeah, just took me right back to it when you said that yesterday.
And I'm like, I thought of that in a long time.
Leastaxe and what were the names of the dinosaurs like grumpy and dopey?
I don't even remember.
Yeah.
Well, they named them after the seven dwarves.
Oh, okay.
Like the T-Rex was grumpy, of course, because they're mean and ornery.
That was probably my favorite Saturday morning show when I was growing up.
Oh yeah, my brother tormented us.
My sister's was creature feature.
Yeah, you're
all kind of creepy, weren't you?
Apparently.
I have a couple scary phrases.
I'll take those.
First one is when the wife says, I have an idea.
Yeah, although it's even more frightening when I say that, but yeah, I'll give you
that one.
Yeah, give me that one, and then the next one is...
your daughter's coming home from college this weekend.
What does that mean to you?
That means my pocketbook is going to be broke.
Oh, yes.
And I'm going to do a lot of things before she goes back to college.
Right.
OK.
But you're glad to see her, I hope.
Oh, love my wife.
Love my daughter.
But in my head, those two scary phrases right there.
Get me going.
Here I go.
You're kind of jittering a little bit.
Your knees are shaking.
Yep.
Yeah.
So what's going on this weekend?
Your daughter coming home?
She actually is coming home from college this weekend.
Yeah, I could tell your voice was trembling a little bit.
Well, I'm just curious what's gonna happen.
Okay, I want an update on Monday.
I want to know how scary it was.
I will, Mike.
Weekday mornings, 5.30 to
10.
