1
00:00:04.219 --> 00:00:08.929
Woo! Don't woo. This is a solemn and serious occasion,
2
00:00:09.009 --> 00:00:14.189
David DeNoyer. Hey, my spookies! Enrique Couto here, bringing you
3
00:00:14.250 --> 00:00:18.550
another little extra here at Weekly Spooky as we are
4
00:00:18.629 --> 00:00:25.859
celebrating the 2026 Halloween season. Although, really, Weekly Spooky is
5
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:28.879
one of the only places that truly celebrates the 2026
6
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:35.299
Halloween season. From January 1st to December 31st. This is true.
7
00:00:35.780 --> 00:00:38.969
The real Halloween season. But I'm here with my good
8
00:00:39.009 --> 00:00:42.509
buddy and former Welcome to Primetime and Do You Even
9
00:00:42.549 --> 00:00:44.590
Movie co-host David DeNoyer.
10
00:00:44.609 --> 00:00:45.130
Hello.
11
00:00:45.649 --> 00:00:48.189
And David has put together a list, I think it
12
00:00:48.210 --> 00:00:51.969
was three years ago. 2023, yeah. Three years ago, David
13
00:00:52.009 --> 00:00:56.869
put together a quintessential Halloween time watch list. And it
14
00:00:56.990 --> 00:01:00.469
was very exhaustive, very solid, but I mean, it was,
15
00:01:00.710 --> 00:01:04.689
but it also didn't miss that much. But recently you
16
00:01:04.730 --> 00:01:07.709
came to me and said, Hey, what if we did
17
00:01:08.650 --> 00:01:09.150
another one?
18
00:01:09.230 --> 00:01:11.950
Another one. Indeed. I, it was one of those things where, uh,
19
00:01:12.030 --> 00:01:14.659
you had, you'd said, I'm, I'm into it, but can
20
00:01:14.689 --> 00:01:17.000
you do it? Because like you said, we covered a
21
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:17.819
lot on that first.
22
00:01:18.099 --> 00:01:20.019
Yeah. I basically was like, I don't want you to
23
00:01:20.060 --> 00:01:23.060
like force it just because you're trying to like a.
24
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.299
Shot on video horror film from 1986.
25
00:01:26.299 --> 00:01:28.959
Well that'd be impressive 86 is was a hard time
26
00:01:28.980 --> 00:01:31.099
to shoot on video that is that is uh well
27
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:33.219
here's a shot of video horror from 1986 so you
28
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:36.750
just mean video violence yeah that's right i'm pulling out
29
00:01:36.790 --> 00:01:38.430
the nerd i will say this is not.
30
00:01:38.349 --> 00:01:40.549
On my list but one that i watched recently that
31
00:01:40.590 --> 00:01:43.629
i really really liked uh because i've been participating in
32
00:01:43.750 --> 00:01:46.849
uh there's a woman named sarah who does a 100 horror.
33
00:01:46.379 --> 00:01:48.640
I don't want to hear about the women you're participating.
34
00:01:48.099 --> 00:01:50.420
100 horror films in 92 days challenge and i've been
35
00:01:50.819 --> 00:01:52.480
This is my second year participating in it, so I've
36
00:01:52.500 --> 00:01:55.019
been watching a lot of deep cut stuff that I
37
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:57.219
haven't seen because that's the challenge is it's 100 horror
38
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:00.799
films you haven't seen in 92 days starting on August
39
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:03.299
1st going all the way to the 31st of October.
40
00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:03.560
Okay.
41
00:02:04.099 --> 00:02:07.579
And The Night Brings Charlie, that's a really fun movie.
42
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:10.099
You'd never seen The Night Brings Charlie?
43
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:11.379
I had never seen The Night Brings Charlie.
44
00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:14.830
So The Night Brings Charlie was one of those, before
45
00:02:14.849 --> 00:02:17.129
we fully begin, I just want you guys to understand
46
00:02:17.169 --> 00:02:19.710
this is just movie nerd talk, but we will have
47
00:02:19.770 --> 00:02:24.360
some gems. of strange films to watch, but yeah, just
48
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:27.960
be ready because this is about as a, as nerdy
49
00:02:27.979 --> 00:02:29.199
as it gets. This is the kind of stuff that
50
00:02:29.259 --> 00:02:33.400
usually we just talk about in the car. Yeah, basically. But, uh, okay.
51
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:36.539
So the night brings Charlie. Oh man. I mean, that
52
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:39.889
was one. There were a few of these kind of
53
00:02:40.629 --> 00:02:45.050
direct to video rarities from the nineties that they were
54
00:02:45.069 --> 00:02:47.930
just kind of, they weren't like legendary is not the
55
00:02:47.969 --> 00:02:51.860
right word, but they were almost like, like folklore.
56
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:52.039
Yeah.
57
00:02:52.620 --> 00:02:53.680
Cause you couldn't find them.
58
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:53.960
No.
59
00:02:54.500 --> 00:02:56.159
Or you would, you know, you would know one guy
60
00:02:56.219 --> 00:02:57.780
who knew a guy. It was like an urban legend,
61
00:02:59.370 --> 00:03:02.090
except then you could like in the late nineties, you
62
00:03:02.110 --> 00:03:05.189
could go online and see like the worst screen grab
63
00:03:05.310 --> 00:03:06.629
ever from the night brings Charlie.
64
00:03:06.669 --> 00:03:06.990
Oh yeah.
65
00:03:07.430 --> 00:03:09.349
Which would say, okay, so it exists.
66
00:03:09.409 --> 00:03:09.590
Yeah.
67
00:03:10.530 --> 00:03:12.580
But for the longest time, that was one of those
68
00:03:12.620 --> 00:03:14.699
films you couldn't find anywhere. And I remember the first
69
00:03:14.740 --> 00:03:16.740
time I got my hands on a copy of it,
70
00:03:17.620 --> 00:03:20.699
I mean, it's been probably 15 years.
71
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:20.900
Yeah.
72
00:03:21.340 --> 00:03:24.500
But I remembered thinking, like, this is kind of the
73
00:03:25.370 --> 00:03:29.169
slasher movie comfort food. Like, not even comfort food. Just, like,
74
00:03:29.189 --> 00:03:33.349
this is like a slasher movie bag of pork rinds. Yeah. No, 100%. But, like,
75
00:03:33.370 --> 00:03:35.590
that you like. You know, they're good. And, you know,
76
00:03:35.750 --> 00:03:37.629
but when you put them down, you know, you're kind
77
00:03:37.650 --> 00:03:42.229
of like, I'm glad that's over, but I'll do it again. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
78
00:03:42.830 --> 00:03:44.610
I mean, that's been the fun thing about the challenge
79
00:03:44.750 --> 00:03:48.150
is there's, For one, there's so many movies on YouTube.
80
00:03:48.330 --> 00:03:51.750
I mean, shit you would not expect to just be
81
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:54.639
readily available that's been on there for X amount of years.
82
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:58.469
Like readily available legitimately? I would doubt it.
83
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:02.259
Legitimately is the point. Yeah, it's there. It's there, but
84
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:04.860
it's been there for enough time that I'm kind of like, ah,
85
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:05.400
it's fine.
86
00:04:05.810 --> 00:04:08.069
I mean, yeah, nobody's, there's no cop on the beat.
87
00:04:08.129 --> 00:04:08.430
Yeah.
88
00:04:08.569 --> 00:04:11.229
Well, I mean, archive.org's the same way. Same. You can
89
00:04:11.270 --> 00:04:13.729
go on there and you'll find stuff that's simply out
90
00:04:13.750 --> 00:04:16.490
of print. Oh, yeah. Not public domain. No. But simply
91
00:04:16.569 --> 00:04:19.709
out of print. Yeah. So, The Night Brings Charlie's readily
92
00:04:19.750 --> 00:04:23.009
available as of the time that we're speaking. As we're recording, yes.
93
00:04:23.029 --> 00:04:24.569
Illegally on YouTube.
94
00:04:24.750 --> 00:04:27.110
And there's a couple titles on here that are only
95
00:04:27.129 --> 00:04:28.730
available on YouTube from what I can find, but the
96
00:04:28.769 --> 00:04:31.610
fact that they're out there, I mean, I had to
97
00:04:31.649 --> 00:04:31.970
add them to.
98
00:04:31.930 --> 00:04:34.810
The list, so I mean. I have always had an
99
00:04:34.870 --> 00:04:38.779
attitude that If a film is impossible to get your
100
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:42.319
hands on or damn near impossible, like the only way
101
00:04:42.370 --> 00:04:45.490
to get it is a, you know, $ 300 out of
102
00:04:45.629 --> 00:04:48.709
print DVD. You know, it's different if the people who
103
00:04:48.750 --> 00:04:50.649
made it are like, no, we're only selling this as
104
00:04:50.709 --> 00:04:52.889
a $ 90 steelbook or some crap.
105
00:04:52.930 --> 00:04:53.170
Yeah.
106
00:04:53.670 --> 00:04:57.750
But if it's just that it's scarce, I start to
107
00:04:57.790 --> 00:05:01.850
feel a little less bad about a basic bootleg. Yeah.
108
00:05:02.269 --> 00:05:05.310
Assuming nobody is like heavily profiting from the bootleg because
109
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:07.790
they didn't. they didn't have the right, but it's also like, Hey,
110
00:05:07.850 --> 00:05:09.769
give us another option. If you don't want us to
111
00:05:09.970 --> 00:05:12.230
watch it for free, help us pay for it.
112
00:05:12.230 --> 00:05:12.889
We can't.
113
00:05:13.009 --> 00:05:13.189
Yeah.
114
00:05:13.350 --> 00:05:15.389
I mean, and there's stuff you can obviously rent, which
115
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:17.019
I mean, some of those I'll cover on this as well,
116
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:20.399
but it's like, I was pretty shocked with what I
117
00:05:20.420 --> 00:05:24.560
could find on YouTube. So not necessarily advocating for that,
118
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:26.100
but I mean, you might be surprised if you, if
119
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:28.079
you haven't, if there's something on your list that you
120
00:05:28.259 --> 00:05:30.920
have like been wanting to see or whatnot, um, check
121
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:33.420
YouTube first. Cause it's surprising the amount of stuff that's
122
00:05:33.459 --> 00:05:33.620
on there.
123
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:35.899
And sometimes it's there legitimately. Yeah.
124
00:05:36.170 --> 00:05:37.769
There's actually a couple of my lists that are like that.
125
00:05:37.970 --> 00:05:40.410
I've had some really good luck with watching kind of
126
00:05:40.490 --> 00:05:45.209
random movie picks on YouTube that are legit. Yeah. But
127
00:05:45.589 --> 00:05:50.379
the options are, you know, to be Roku channel and
128
00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:54.139
then like maybe Fandango at home free with ads and
129
00:05:54.180 --> 00:05:57.480
then YouTube. And since I have YouTube pro or red
130
00:05:57.519 --> 00:05:59.160
or whatever, they renamed it this week.
131
00:05:59.240 --> 00:05:59.459
Yeah.
132
00:05:59.939 --> 00:06:01.899
I don't have to watch ads. So it's the only
133
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:05.970
way I can watch it. free without ads, you know,
134
00:06:05.990 --> 00:06:08.889
cause well, no, cause like if it was on Amazon prime,
135
00:06:08.930 --> 00:06:10.350
I would pick that first because I have it with
136
00:06:10.389 --> 00:06:10.810
no ads.
137
00:06:10.889 --> 00:06:11.329
Absolutely.
138
00:06:11.629 --> 00:06:15.600
But, uh, so I, that saved my butt a few times. Um,
139
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:17.360
and with movies you wouldn't expect, like, I think that's
140
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:20.220
where I rewatched, uh, it's not even a horror movie.
141
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:23.529
Why am I talking about it? But, uh, I rewatched like, uh,
142
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:26.920
Oh gosh, what was that movie about? The, uh, the,
143
00:06:27.930 --> 00:06:30.990
FBI operative who's actually helping the Russians?
144
00:06:31.529 --> 00:06:33.810
Oh, um, not. Oh, I almost gave a spoiler for
145
00:06:33.829 --> 00:06:35.560
a movie. It's not No Way Out. That's a Kevin
146
00:06:35.579 --> 00:06:36.160
Costner movie.
147
00:06:36.300 --> 00:06:36.819
No, no, no.
148
00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:38.779
Shit. Um.
149
00:06:39.300 --> 00:06:40.819
He takes in, like, a younger agent. Yeah. I can't
150
00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:41.889
think of the name right now. I can't think of
151
00:06:41.899 --> 00:06:42.990
the name either. But it was super good.
152
00:06:43.110 --> 00:06:43.290
Yeah.
153
00:06:43.490 --> 00:06:45.389
And, yeah, it was on YouTube. Yeah. That's where I
154
00:06:45.430 --> 00:06:47.170
was able. And it was, like, you know, from MGM's
155
00:06:47.209 --> 00:06:50.490
channel or whatever company's channel. So there are some legitimate
156
00:06:50.529 --> 00:06:53.089
watches on YouTube and some illegitimate watches on YouTube.
157
00:06:53.170 --> 00:06:55.310
And I will point some of those out. But any
158
00:06:55.329 --> 00:06:58.000
of the movies that I'm going to name here, I'm
159
00:06:58.019 --> 00:06:59.360
going to give you the sources as to where they
160
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:02.259
are available as of this recording. And some of them
161
00:07:02.300 --> 00:07:04.220
have multiple and some of them you have one option
162
00:07:04.259 --> 00:07:05.579
and one option only.
163
00:07:06.060 --> 00:07:07.339
That is the way it goes sometimes.
164
00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:07.560
Yeah.
165
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:10.259
How many is on this list again?
166
00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:11.560
So we are back to 60 again.
167
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:13.139
Holy shit.
168
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:15.680
We are back to 60 again, broken into four columns.
169
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:16.379
So we've got.
170
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:18.000
Man, I should have went with a double espresso.
171
00:07:18.019 --> 00:07:23.170
We've got Gateway Horror. We've got Seasonal Rewatches, Underrated Halloween,
172
00:07:23.430 --> 00:07:26.730
and This Is Halloween. So you ready to get into this?
173
00:07:27.490 --> 00:07:28.050
I better be.
174
00:07:28.170 --> 00:07:28.629
All right.
175
00:07:28.980 --> 00:07:32.079
That is... Wow. For some reason, I know you sent me...
176
00:07:33.189 --> 00:07:35.629
I know you sent me something, but one thing, anybody
177
00:07:35.649 --> 00:07:38.709
who's worked with me any amount will know, the moment I,
178
00:07:38.829 --> 00:07:41.769
and this is a horrible statement, the moment I trust you,
179
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:44.660
I don't really check. I'm just like, no, as long
180
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:46.319
as you show up prepared, and then you show up
181
00:07:46.339 --> 00:07:47.079
with 60 films.
182
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:48.800
And this is exactly what we did last time. So
183
00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:51.160
let's roll into it. So we're starting with Gateway Horror.
184
00:07:51.899 --> 00:07:53.779
Last time I was here, I called this Family Scares.
185
00:07:54.259 --> 00:07:56.089
More so approach, I went with it this time, was...
186
00:07:57.189 --> 00:07:58.550
when we did it last time, it was more so
187
00:07:58.569 --> 00:08:01.069
kind of a Halloween based for kids horror film. This
188
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:02.680
is just kind of gateway horror. Some of them might
189
00:08:02.699 --> 00:08:05.100
have Halloween. Some of it just might be good starters.
190
00:08:05.220 --> 00:08:07.300
Okay. Yeah. And, and, you know, for those who may
191
00:08:07.339 --> 00:08:09.699
not be familiar, I mean, gateway horror suggests that it's
192
00:08:09.740 --> 00:08:15.839
relatively accessible, both in content and availability. Yes. And therefore
193
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:19.889
you might watch it and then be like, huh? You know,
194
00:08:19.990 --> 00:08:23.769
I really liked the witches of Eastwick. What's cannibal Holocaust about?
195
00:08:24.189 --> 00:08:25.910
Or like when I did the Christmas one where I,
196
00:08:26.449 --> 00:08:29.759
for some, I can reason put rare exports on the
197
00:08:29.779 --> 00:08:31.899
family list, not even thinking about the fact that there's
198
00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:35.419
a lot of Santa dong in that movie. Well, and
199
00:08:35.460 --> 00:08:36.710
reindeer like wipe out.
200
00:08:38.470 --> 00:08:41.289
You see, the actual phrase would be Santa dongs.
201
00:08:41.409 --> 00:08:42.330
Dongs, yeah, yeah.
202
00:08:42.350 --> 00:08:45.309
Because there are multiple Santas with multiple, well, each has
203
00:08:45.389 --> 00:08:47.110
a dong. Yes, yes. But they all look like Santa.
204
00:08:47.429 --> 00:08:49.450
But yeah, I remember when I put that on the list,
205
00:08:49.490 --> 00:08:50.590
I was like, oh yeah, I guess that's not a
206
00:08:50.629 --> 00:08:51.070
kid's movie.
207
00:08:51.610 --> 00:08:53.490
No. It is about a kid, though.
208
00:08:53.570 --> 00:08:54.269
It's about a kid.
209
00:08:54.330 --> 00:08:57.110
And it's not, I'll give you that, though. It's about
210
00:08:57.149 --> 00:08:59.200
a kid, and it is a kid's perception. It's just
211
00:08:59.389 --> 00:09:03.120
that the whole sticking point of the film is that
212
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:04.899
it has a harder edge.
213
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:06.000
Yes, very much so.
214
00:09:07.649 --> 00:09:12.360
But it does, like, especially if you're desensitized to, you know,
215
00:09:12.539 --> 00:09:15.100
serious violence and nudity, like you are.
216
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:16.539
That's not wrong.
217
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:18.799
Then you would go, oh, it's a kid's movie because
218
00:09:18.820 --> 00:09:20.700
it's about a kid, like, learning about, like, the evil
219
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:24.080
creature at Christmas. It's like, no, I guess Elves is
220
00:09:24.139 --> 00:09:24.580
a kid's movie.
221
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:25.980
Mikey's a kid movie. It has a kid in it.
222
00:09:26.460 --> 00:09:27.700
I mean, I did watch it when I was the
223
00:09:27.779 --> 00:09:29.879
age of Mikey in the movie. All right.
224
00:09:30.370 --> 00:09:35.000
So kicking us off, Gateway Horror. Let's go with 1986's
225
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:38.940
The Worst Witch, directed by Robert Young. This is a
226
00:09:40.220 --> 00:09:43.200
1980s TV special that was over in the UK. The
227
00:09:43.299 --> 00:09:45.539
plot synopsis says Mildred is one of the young girls
228
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:48.039
at a prestigious witch academy. She can't seem to do
229
00:09:48.179 --> 00:09:50.639
anything right and is picked on by classmates and teachers.
230
00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:53.309
The headmistress of the school, Miss Cackle, has an evil
231
00:09:53.350 --> 00:09:55.990
twin sister who plans to destroy the school. Can Mildred
232
00:09:56.090 --> 00:09:58.330
foil the plans before the Grand Wizard comes to the
233
00:09:58.370 --> 00:10:00.860
academy for Halloween celebrations? You'll never forget.
234
00:10:00.980 --> 00:10:01.980
The Grand Wizard.
235
00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:07.799
Played by Tim Curry, because this is the Something Something Halloween.
236
00:10:08.889 --> 00:10:13.370
I mean, I've always found, I found that charming. So,
237
00:10:13.389 --> 00:10:17.059
because the first time I was exposed to that piece
238
00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:19.259
of media as its own piece of media where, where
239
00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:22.379
Tim Curry appears to be doing a music video at
240
00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:25.120
a cable access station. Basically. Yeah. I mean, just bad
241
00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:28.009
green screen and he's walking toward the camera and being
242
00:10:28.049 --> 00:10:32.490
like oddly serious, but you can tell he knows it's ridiculous. Um,
243
00:10:32.929 --> 00:10:35.029
that was the joke. Cause it went on so long.
