1
00:00:00.800 --> 00:00:06.599
It's late February. Winter's still got its boot on your neck,

2
00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:13.919
but the calendars already whispering spray sprays like it's trying

3
00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:20.399
to lure you outside. And that's when horror loves to strike,

4
00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:25.839
right in the in between, Not the cozy holiday season,

5
00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:31.440
not the bright, loud summer box office, the liminal stretch

6
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:36.359
where you're half asleep, half hopeful, and you swear you

7
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:41.679
heard footsteps behind you on an empty sidewalk. This is

8
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:47.640
a week for invisible threats and slow realization terror stories

9
00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:52.439
where the monster isn't always a creature with teeth. Sometimes

10
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:57.200
it's a virus. Sometimes it's a smile that isn't quite right,

11
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:01.600
and sometimes it's the person you love walking towards you

12
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:06.280
and you can't tell if that's relief or doom. And

13
00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:10.799
because this week sometimes includes leap Day, we'll tip the

14
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:16.400
hat to February twenty ninth, the calendars hidden room, the

15
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:21.719
extra day you didn't plan for, the day that shouldn't

16
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:37.040
exist but does. Welcome to this week in horror history.

17
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:41.079
I'm your host, Enrique Kuto, and this is your weekly

18
00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:47.519
time machine through the creepiest anniversaries in film, television, games,

19
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:51.799
and literature. Our window for this week is February twenty

20
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:57.040
third through March first coming up. A viral outbreak that

21
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:02.719
turns neighbors into hunting dogs, A modern classic that weaponizes

22
00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:08.479
nice into something sinister, A survival horror hit that drops

23
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:11.840
you on an island where the trees feel like they're

24
00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:15.199
watching and it might be the case. And a big

25
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:21.599
zombie universe premiere built around one question can love outlast

26
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:25.680
the end of the world? Then after the break, we're

27
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:29.360
headed into our deep cut spotlight A twenty twenty release

28
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:33.879
date that hits like a scream and then got swallowed

29
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:39.439
by the real world nightmare that followed. The monster is unseen,

30
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:43.960
the terror is intimate, and the scars are the point.

31
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:52.080
February twenty six, twenty ten, the Crazies hit theaters and

32
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:57.919
reminded everyone that Romero era paranoia doesn't need zombies to work,

33
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:03.280
and also that saying romero Era is quite a tongue twister.

34
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:06.639
It really beats She sells seashells down by the sea

35
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:09.960
shore if you ask me. This remake drops you into

36
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:14.120
a small Iowa town where something in the water turns

37
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:20.120
ordinary people into violent, unpredictable threats. The real horror is

38
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:25.120
the speed of the collapse, how fast trust evaporates once

39
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:30.960
you can't tell who's infected, who's hiding symptoms, or who's

40
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:35.120
about to snap. It did strong business for a mid

41
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:39.319
budget horror thriller, about fifty four point eight million dollars

42
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:43.719
worldwide on a reported twenty million dollar budget, and it

43
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:48.599
was a remake of one of George Romero's lesser known films. Romero,

44
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:52.120
of course famous for Night of the Living Dead, a

45
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:56.800
horror film that changed everything, and its follow ups Dawn

46
00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:00.240
of the Dead, Day of the Dead, and and a

47
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:03.120
few more that we won't bring up here. They're not terrible,

48
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:08.080
but they were not the trailblazing horror of the original trilogy.

49
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:11.560
The Crazies remake is a lot of fun and it

50
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:16.759
definitely has the holdover of that early two thousands slick

51
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:20.439
yet nasty horror vibe, and I think it's worth a

52
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:24.160
revisit or a first time watch. Best part, you can

53
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:27.800
watch it free with ads on the Roku channel, and

54
00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:31.439
of course rented at the usual suspects like Prime Video,

55
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:34.480
Fandango at Home, and Apple TV. Oh and I want

56
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:37.600
to mention a listener had asked me if we had

57
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:41.800
some kind of a deal with the streamers, especially Roku

58
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:45.399
and two B TV and places like that. We do not.

59
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:50.639
We're just reporting who is kindly providing the content we

60
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:55.000
all enjoy at the time of this recording. But you know,

61
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:59.759
that kind of paranoia about hidden commercials in the programs

62
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:06.800
you Mike fits the theme of The Crazies perfectly. February

63
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:11.079
twenty fourth, twenty seventeen, gave us get out, and the

64
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:14.720
genre didn't walk back out the same way it entered.

65
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:21.319
Jordan Peel's debut turned social dread into a trapdoor. Awkward politeness,

66
00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:28.120
nice comments that land wrong, then the slow realization you're

67
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:33.399
not visiting a family, You're walking into a system. It's

68
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:38.279
also one of modern horror's great business success stories, roughly

69
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:42.839
two hundred and fifty five million dollars worldwide on a

70
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:47.240
reported four point five million dollar budget. Just to give

71
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:50.639
you context, we just talked about the Crazies remake from

72
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:53.439
twenty ten, a film that was panned by a lot

73
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:56.639
of critics but was enjoyed by a decent amount of

74
00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:58.639
the movie going public. It was a remake of a

75
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:01.439
film no one really knew that well. It was one

76
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:05.720
of George Romero's least known films, although he had a

77
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:09.560
lot of those. It got twenty million dollars in budget

78
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:13.839
seven years earlier, but then get Out gets four point

79
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:17.519
five million bucks to work with. But luckily Jordan peele

80
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:21.680
knew exactly how to handle that budget. Because I am

81
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:23.480
a very big fan of get Out. I think it

82
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:25.639
is one of his best horror It is his best

83
00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:29.639
horror film as far as sheer fear, I like this

84
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:32.800
one the most, although US is very scary, and I

85
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:37.680
freaking love Nope, but I consider Nope more of a

86
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:40.759
monster ride with a lot of horror in it. It

87
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:43.319
didn't scare me quite as much as get Out did.

88
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:45.560
Of course, I also saw get Out in the theater

89
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:49.879
less than twenty four hours after having gallbladder surgery, and

90
00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:54.120
the scene where the lead character falls back into his

91
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:58.759
mind from hypnosis messed me up because I was still

92
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:02.160
whacked out on all the medications they pumped me full of.

93
00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:04.319
So I don't know if it'll ever be as good

94
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:08.600
as that first viewing, but I do love get Out,

95
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:11.079
and it's a film that you need to watch and

96
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:14.439
you need to revisit every so often. I mean, next

97
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:18.279
year it'll be a ten year old film that kind

98
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:21.439
of blows my mind and reminds me that my back hurts.

99
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:25.319
You can revisit it today with your HBO Max subscription,

100
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:30.079
whether you're using it through HBO Max itself or using

101
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:34.519
an add on on Hulu or YouTube or Sling whatever

102
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:36.439
you like. Or of course, you can rent it on

103
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:41.399
Amazon Prime, Google Play, YouTube, Apple TV and you guessed it.

104
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:49.759
Fandango at Home. February twenty third, twenty twenty three. Sons

105
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:54.079
of the Forest had its early access release and turned

106
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:59.319
relaxing cabin getaway into more of a I'm sprinting through

107
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:04.360
the woods at because something is shrieking behind me. It's

108
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:08.000
a great example of a simple and exciting survival horror

109
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:13.079
game built on tension, created by you your first night

110
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:16.480
without a real shelter, the first time you see movement

111
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:21.439
between trees, the first time you realize the island isn't

112
00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:25.800
so empty after all. They build that dread like a

113
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:30.160
cabin made of bloody popsicle sticks. Hey, I made that

114
00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:33.159
up just now, and I'm leaving it in. It's currently

115
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:41.559
available for your gaming enjoyment on PC via Steam. February

116
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:46.039
twenty fifth, twenty twenty four, brought The Walking Dead The

117
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:50.440
Ones Who Live, a tight six episode mini series that

118
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:55.600
makes the apocalypse feel personal again. Instead of expanding the

119
00:08:55.639 --> 00:09:00.840
map of the Walking Dead universe, it tightens the focus love,

120
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:05.000
loss and the question of what survival does to a

121
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:09.080
person when the one thing they want back may just

122
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:14.000
be impossible. While later Walking Dead kind of lost me

123
00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:18.080
because it felt a bit repetitive, I liked the mentality

124
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:21.720
of this six episode mini series with such a degree

125
00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:24.799
of focus, it grabbed my attention pretty well and it

126
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:27.480
held onto it. If you haven't had the chance to

127
00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:29.679
check it out yet and you feel the need to

128
00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:34.919
watch some zombies munching flesh, it's available on AMC Plus

129
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:42.360
for your enjoyment. All right, my spookies, time for a

130
00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:47.679
quick breather, But first a warning, always check the ice

131
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:52.679
tomorrow on the weekly Spooky Feed. Right here Wednesday, We're

132
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:56.519
heading out onto a frozen lake with Douglas Waltz's on

133
00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:02.480
the ice, a widower looking for quiet, a cold, clean horizon,

134
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:06.720
a hole drilled straight through the winter like a doorway,

135
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:11.639
and then one sharp crack, the kind that makes your

136
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:16.600
stomach drop because you suddenly realize the lake has been

137
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:23.600
listening the whole time, because something is moving down there,

138
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:28.799
something black and shining under the ice, far too fast

139
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:32.120
to be a shadow, to deliberate, to be a fish.

140
00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:37.000
And the worst part you don't see it. You feel

141
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:42.200
it circling, bumping the underside, like it's testing the world above,

142
00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:47.720
like it's deciding whether your prey or an invitation. He

143
00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:53.279
came out there to grieve, to breathe, to be alone,

144
00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:57.960
but out on that glassy, frozen nothing alone is the

145
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:04.080
last thing he'll be. That's tomorrow right here on Weekly Spooky.

146
00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:08.879
Then on Friday, cutting deep into horror, returns with an

147
00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:13.759
often overlooked and truly chilling gut punch from nineteen eighty five,

148
00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:18.519
Confessions of a Serial Killer, one of my personal favorite

149
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:23.440
horror films. No glossy slasher, theatrics, no cute winks, just

150
00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:28.200
that grimy, grounded kind of horror where every scene feels

151
00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:33.120
too real and the confession is not even the worst part,

152
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:36.799
a slow walk into the mind of a killer and

153
00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:40.919
the uncomfortable question of how long before we look away

154
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:45.759
when the monster looks just like you and me. So

155
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:49.159
make sure you're subscribed, because on Friday, we're talking all

156
00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:54.000
about the horror of that film. Right here on the

157
00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:57.879
weekly spooky feed, and don't go anywhere because when we return,

158
00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:01.120
we'll have our deep cut spotlight. You know the story.

159
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:06.200
An abuser, a victim, an empty room, and the feeling

160
00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:12.000
that you're not alone. No monster suit, no jump scare gimmicks,

161
00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:30.200
just the oldest fear in the world being watched. All right,

162
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:36.159
my spookies, we're back, so let's get into it. February

163
00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:41.879
twenty eighth, twenty twenty, The Invisible Man arrives in theaters,

164
00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:46.440
and it doesn't just resurrect a classic monster. It drags

165
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:51.399
the concept into a relationship where you're being controlled and

166
00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:57.159
everyone around you thinks you are the problem. Lee Wenell's

167
00:12:57.279 --> 00:13:03.399
take understands the true engine of invisible horror, not the effects,

168
00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:08.559
the denial, the gas lighting, the way a victim starts

169
00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:13.720
doubting their own senses because the world keeps insisting nothing

170
00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:19.039
is happening. It also became a monster success story. On

171
00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:23.519
a reported seven million dollar budget, the Invisible Man grossed

172
00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:28.679
about one hundred and forty five million dollars worldwide, proof

173
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:33.320
that studio horror doesn't need gigantic budgets. It needs a

174
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:36.320
point of view. Same studio, by the way, that did

175
00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:40.799
get out go figure. The timing is eerie in hindsight,

176
00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:44.919
though the film hits in late January, and within weeks

177
00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:49.559
the world is shutting down. Theatrical runs get cut short,

178
00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:54.360
the movie moves to premium VOD early or the drive

179
00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:56.639
in theater, which is where I saw it a second

180
00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:01.639
time during lockdown. It was like the genre accidentally predicted

181
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:06.080
the feeling of an unseen threat changing your life overnight.

182
00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:10.039
If you haven't seen it before or revisited it lately,

183
00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:15.159
make sure you notice how it uses space wide frames,

184
00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:19.440
empty corners, shots that hold a little too long. It

185
00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:24.799
teaches you to stare at nothing until nothing feels like something.

186
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:28.200
I don't know about you, but that scares the crap

187
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:30.720
out of me. If you want to watch it right now,

188
00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:32.960
the easiest way is to check it out with your

189
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:36.720
Peacock subscription. That way, you can also check out the

190
00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:39.679
Berbs TV series, which I haven't had a chance to

191
00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:43.200
watch yet, but my mother, of all people, just adores it.

192
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:47.120
And of course it's available for rent or purchase digitally

193
00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:52.840
via Amazon, Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home.

194
00:14:55.320 --> 00:15:00.240
All right, time to talk about some spooky birthdays on

195
00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:05.320
the horizon, Starting with February twenty third, nineteen oh four,

196
00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:10.559
when Terence Fisher was born, the Hammer Films maestro who

197
00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:15.480
put Gothic horror in living color, shaping the look of Dracula,

198
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:21.440
Frankenstein and a whole era of horror classics. Hammer films

199
00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:25.279
have a feel and a vibe that kind of always

200
00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:29.679
felt to me like grown up universal horror. When I

201
00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:33.320
kick back and watch Universal horror films on a Sunday afternoon,

202
00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:36.120
I feel kind of like a kid again. When I

203
00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:39.440
kick back and watch Hammer films on a Sunday afternoon,

204
00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:44.000
I feel like a grown up enjoying something nasty yet

205
00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:52.480
oddly classy. Happy Birthday, Terence Fisher on February twenty fourth,

206
00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:58.399
nineteen sixty six. Billy Zane is born a genre favorite

207
00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:01.480
for a reason. If you want him at his most

208
00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:06.799
delightfully sinister and hilarious, I really can't recommend enough a

209
00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:11.080
revisit of Tales from the Crypt Demon Knight, but Billy's

210
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:13.600
Ain is kind of great in anything you put him in,

211
00:16:13.799 --> 00:16:19.120
even if it's inherently cheesy or silly. Happy Birthday, billy's

212
00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:25.679
Ain on February twenty fifth, nineteen fifty. Neil Jordan is

213
00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:31.039
born the filmmaker behind the loved by audiences and critics alike,

214
00:16:31.279 --> 00:16:36.600
Interview with the Vampire, and other moody, sometimes romantic horror

215
00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:41.159
films that treat monsters like poetry with teeth. A hell

216
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:44.720
of a filmmaker in every genre who left a wonderful

217
00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:50.039
and bloody mark on horror history. Happy Birthday, Neil Jordan

218
00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:57.519
and finally born on March first, nineteen eighty three. Lupida Niango,

219
00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:01.200
in many ways a modern scream queen who's been in

220
00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:06.519
films such as The Goofy and Kitchy Cooties about killer

221
00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:10.759
children attacking, as well as films that bring us to

222
00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:14.319
tears like a Quiet Place Day One, and of course,

223
00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:20.039
her unforgettable role in Jordan peels us. She's always bringing

224
00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:26.839
intelligence and fire to the fear. Happy Birthday, Lupida Nyango,

225
00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:32.160
and for our then and now this week, we want

226
00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:37.119
to talk about how time seems to relate. This week

227
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:40.759
is basically a perfect horror sampler platter. If you think

228
00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:46.680
about it, twenty ten gives you contamination paranoia, twenty seventeen

229
00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:53.119
turns polite into predatory. Twenty twenty makes the terror invisible

230
00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:58.599
and makes belief part of the monster. Twenty twenty three,

231
00:17:58.720 --> 00:18:04.039
strands you Somewhere gorgeous that feels hostile twenty twenty four

232
00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:08.039
asks if love can survive the end of the world,

233
00:18:08.519 --> 00:18:13.920
different decades, same heartbeat. The rules you rely on are

234
00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:21.640
about to fail. For our weekly recommendation if you want

235
00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:26.160
something cozy and creepy that still bites que up from

236
00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:30.400
Beyond the Grave, Released in the United Kingdom on February

237
00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:35.839
twenty third, nineteen seventy four. It's a classic Amicus anthology

238
00:18:35.920 --> 00:18:39.519
horror film. A British studio that would become famous for

239
00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:43.279
kind of being the very low budget kind of Hammer

240
00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:48.599
Studios and were most known for their anthology films, especially

241
00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:52.480
Tales from the Crypt and Vault of Horror, based on

242
00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:57.960
the ec comics that are their namesakes. It's classic Amicus

243
00:18:58.119 --> 00:19:02.839
anthology horror, a minister antique shop, a warning you should

244
00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:08.319
absolutely listen to, and four little morality nightmares where one

245
00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:13.759
bad choice becomes a personalized haunting. Peter Cushing is pitch

246
00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:19.160
perfect as the proprietor. He's polite, calm and quietly certain

247
00:19:19.599 --> 00:19:24.519
you're about to get exactly what you deserve. It's a

248
00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:27.440
gem of horror that I really do recommend him really.

249
00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:31.880
I recommend the majority of the Amicis Horror anthologies as

250
00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:35.039
a real good time and they're free to stream right

251
00:19:35.079 --> 00:19:38.119
now with ads on Plex, or you can check it

252
00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:41.559
out on Hoopla with your library card membership, and of

253
00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:45.240
course you can rent or buy them on Amazon, Prime Video,

254
00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:48.880
Apple TV, and Fandango at Home, or grab a Blu

255
00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:53.000
Ray if you're into that kind of thing. Well, that's

256
00:19:53.079 --> 00:19:57.039
our trip through February twenty third to March first in

257
00:19:57.119 --> 00:20:02.119
horror history. If you want more scares, this Wednesday tomorrow

258
00:20:02.319 --> 00:20:05.640
a brand new terror tale on Weekly Spooky for you

259
00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:09.880
to enjoy, and on Friday, cutting deep into horror returns

260
00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:13.240
as we talk about one of my most beloved lost

261
00:20:13.319 --> 00:20:17.920
gems in horror, Confessions of a Serial Killer. So make

262
00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:21.799
sure you're subscribed on your favorite podcasting app, and while

263
00:20:21.839 --> 00:20:24.279
you're at it, leave us a five star rating. It

264
00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:26.519
really does help. And if you love what we're doing

265
00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:28.880

at gmail dot com. I'll be back here next Tuesday

268
00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:41.759
with another dive into horror history. Until then, remember our

269
00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:46.839
days are numbered, because that's how we tell them apart,

270
00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:48.359
See you next time.
