00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:08.359
Haunted dolls, prehistoric poop, a demon that sits on your
2
00:00:08.439 --> 00:00:13.160
chest as you struggle, and a ghostly presence that speaks
3
00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:19.039
with your own voice. Get confected, Turn off the life.
4
00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:25.559
It's Monthly Spooky.
5
00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:34.200
Hello, my Spookyes, and welcome back to Monthly Spooky. I'm,
6
00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:36.479
of course your host Enrique Kuto here with my good
7
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:40.479
buddy and co host Michelle. Michelle, how are you?
8
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:42.719
Oh?
9
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:46.200
Okay? I should I should have started with a softball question.
10
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:51.240
Huh yeah, that was a little too aggressive. I'm sorry. Well,
11
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:55.920
so I am actually really happy to be here for
12
00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:01.600
once in my life. I'm happy to be here. Before
13
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:04.200
we went before we went on the air, I was
14
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:09.719
telling Michelle all about the medieval torture devices I'm using
15
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:14.400
to try to stop or mitigate my snoring. I've been
16
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:17.920
noticing my sleep is less RESTful. So I tried buying
17
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:22.760
a tooth like a jaw bit, and then, oh, yeah,
18
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:29.920
I just leave that notification on Thereshelle. It's everything, okay, hopefully.
19
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:34.200
Uh oh but no, I have this like bit you
20
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:36.879
put in your mouth that makes your jaw stick out
21
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:42.280
so you snore less, and it works. It kind of hurts,
22
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:46.680
but it works, and now I'm trying this new thing
23
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:49.959
that holds your tongue out of your mouth while you sleep.
24
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:54.519
And as I was describing how it functions to you, Michelle,
25
00:01:54.519 --> 00:01:56.879
you were just reacting like you were gonna die.
26
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:01.000
I can't it just I've just it just it would
27
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:01.799
make me throw up.
28
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:05.359
Okay, well that's fair. Well do you are you a SnO?
29
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:06.120
Do you snore?
30
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:08.599
I don't know. I think probably a little bit.
31
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:12.120
I mean I've always said there's like a difference between
32
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:15.520
snoring and sawing logs, which is what I call like
33
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:19.280
just when people are rhythmically breathing asleep. You know, it's
34
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:21.400
a little loud, but it's not like super loud.
35
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:23.120
I guess I don't know.
36
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:25.719
You've never gotten curious and like downloaded one of those
37
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:28.439
apps that just records while you're sleeping and tells.
38
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:33.319
You no, because if I do that, like I'm gonna
39
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:35.879
find out there's like a something else in my room
40
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:39.919
with me, like tucking into it like I'm gonna kill you,
41
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:44.120
or like I'm gonna come over and bother you, and
42
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:44.719
I'm be.
43
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:47.120
Like, no, I'll bother you.
44
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:50.520
Yeah, I'm gonna try to have a conversation with you
45
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:51.280
when you're awake.
46
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:57.439
What if you put a recorder next to your bed
47
00:02:57.479 --> 00:02:59.439
while you slept and then went back to play it
48
00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:02.400
back the next day. What would scare you the most?
49
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:05.000
A voice like saying like I'm going to kill you,
50
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:06.960
I'm going to kill you, or a voice just saying
51
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:08.240
like I love you so much?
52
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:09.039
Oh God?
53
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:14.199
Which one? Which one's worse?
54
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:16.599
The second one because the first one like, I don't
55
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:18.960
even really believe it, it's just trying to scare me.
56
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:22.000
The second one, like I don't know what's going on there,
57
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:23.439
but I don't want any part of it.
58
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:26.719
So I feel like it's pretty direct and clear what
59
00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:31.240
it's about. But okay, fair enough. I mean, we were
60
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:33.280
learning a lot about your psyche here, Chield.
61
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:36.439
Well, well, I mean, I just I don't think I
62
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:39.240
think that that there's no reason to say that you
63
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:42.840
love someone so much into a little recorder unless you
64
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:46.479
love them a lot or something like. I don't think
65
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:48.120
that it would be trying to scare me.
66
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:52.039
And what if they just couldn't see the recorder so
67
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:53.879
that this is just what they do every night, is
68
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:54.879
like stand over her bath.
69
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:56.120
I know, I don't like that.
70
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:02.039
Is this a concern you have because I like that.
71
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:04.879
You're like, look, if it's happening, I just don't want
72
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:06.080
to know exactly.
73
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:08.800
I don't want to know as long as it's not
74
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:11.960
actually going to affect me, and it's just some crazy thing,
75
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:15.479
you know, saying stuff. I don't care. I just don't
76
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:16.519
want to know about it.
77
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:20.160
Please, I don't know that that's how that works. I
78
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:23.120
feel like it will eventually culminate.
79
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:25.639
Well, you don't know how much energy it has. It's
80
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:28.839
possible that all it can do is say I'm going
81
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:30.600
to kill you or I love you so much. And
82
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:32.680
because I don't know about it, I'm not feeding it
83
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:36.360
with my energy, my fear, so it's not getting any stronger.
84
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:39.680
But once I like listen to the recording, and I
85
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:44.240
know now it's coming for me, either to kill me
86
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:45.519
or I don't know.
87
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:49.879
This is a lot of war for a creature that
88
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:55.319
we just thought of about three minutes ago. Sure this
89
00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:58.279
is so it's basically Freddie versus Jason. The whole gag
90
00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:00.480
in Freddie versus Jason, which I I know you haven't
91
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:03.480
seen that one yet, but is that no one was
92
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:05.720
afraid of Freddie anymore. So we had no power. He
93
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:09.120
couldn't do anything right, and that's why he brings Jason
94
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:12.399
to Springwood, so that Jason will kill someone and the
95
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:15.959
authorities will instantly think it's Freddie if a teenager dies
96
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:16.399
in town.
97
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:17.959
Okay, that makes sense.
98
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:20.240
There's actually this really cool scene, and I'll stop talking
99
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:22.519
about Freddie versus Jason. There's this really cool scene where
100
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:25.199
the cops are talking after a kid dies, and they
101
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:30.800
basically are both like, nobody say a word about who
102
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:32.639
this could be. We're just going to keep this quiet
103
00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:36.160
and figure it out. And one of the teenagers sitting
104
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:38.759
there because her best friend was killed, and she's like, God,
105
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:40.519
what was the name? They said? What was the name?
106
00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:45.319
They said, what was that name? Freddie? Freddie? Freddie? And
107
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:46.839
then all of a sudden she's in the dream world
108
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:50.079
and Freddie's like hello, and it's like yeah, it's like
109
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:52.839
because that's how It's like. His fear is so infectious
110
00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:56.240
that all you have to do is make people afraid again,
111
00:05:56.279 --> 00:05:59.360
and then his power grows and grows and grows. So
112
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:03.199
that's the way I assume the night stalker you live
113
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:06.240
with is being Now do you assume this is so
114
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:07.720
this is a spiritual entity? Now?
115
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:08.240
Yes?
116
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:12.120
Okay, okay, does it live in the house all day long,
117
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:14.240
just waiting for night. Or what does it do?
118
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:17.040
Maybe it sleeps during the day or something. I don't
119
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:19.439
know how this works. Maybe it goes out and does
120
00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:20.959
shopping and it comes.
121
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:24.759
Back, or it has a job. Yeah, that's why it
122
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:27.399
needs more and more energy from you. It's tired from
123
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:28.399
working a nine to five.
124
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:35.519
Frankly, exactly you think it works. I just figured like
125
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:36.879
a haunted house or something.
126
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:38.439
Oh, I was thinking sheets.
127
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:41.439
Oh yeah maybe, yeah, here's.
128
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:46.079
Your mt O. Have a good day. You're like, man,
129
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:49.439
these cheese curts are so good. Try the boom Boom sauce.
130
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:55.480
We are maggoty with sheets in my part of Ohio.
131
00:06:55.560 --> 00:07:00.959
Now yeah with three wow, Well you're a right.
132
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:03.160
I'm in a wah wah land.
133
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:08.040
Yes, ah wah wah. Woman in a wah wah land.
134
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:14.879
Sounds like a song about to start. No uh, But
135
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:18.160
that all being said, the torture device I've been using
136
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:20.600
seems to be giving me better sleep, and I am
137
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:23.000
in like one of the better moods I've been in
138
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:26.040
in a while, especially this early in the day. Not
139
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:28.160
that we're not, but we record this in the middle
140
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:31.040
of the night in the spooky darkness. We're not doing
141
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:36.680
this in the early afternoon. So, but so, besides my
142
00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:44.720
jaw being retrained and your new midnight visitor, has anything
143
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:47.040
else been going on in your life? I know you
144
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:51.000
just started covering a new show on your podcast. Yeah
145
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:54.759
I did, all right, I'll tell everybody about it now.
146
00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:57.160
For those who don't know, Michelle has her own podcast
147
00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:01.680
called Michelle Explains Anime Poorly, which you can find at
148
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:05.720
anywhere you get your favorite podcasts. And you're getting ready
149
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:10.680
to start covering the show Banana Fish. Yeah, what was
150
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:11.800
the show you just finished?
151
00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:16.120
Wind Breaker, which is the worst title of a show ever.
152
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:18.399
Oh. I assume it's about a guy who has one
153
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:21.040
of those fluffy jackets from the nineties.
154
00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:24.879
I wish that's what it was. No. The worst part
155
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:29.600
about Windbreaker, besides that it is a jacket, is that
156
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:33.039
there's also so there's an there's a manga slash anime
157
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:36.279
now called Windbreaker, but there's also a mah Wa ma Wa,
158
00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:41.399
which is a Korean webcomic also called Windbreaker, which is
159
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:46.559
actually more popular. So it's very hard to like even
160
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:49.000
find information on it because I always get directed to
161
00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:56.000
the Korean one. And that's about people like cycling and Windbreaker.
162
00:08:56.200 --> 00:09:02.320
The anime is about delinquents fighting each other having conversations
163
00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:07.519
with their fists. All right, yeah, and it's super uplifting
164
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:10.799
and emotionally intelligent and it's very strange.
165
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:14.399
Oh yeah, that sounds pretty cool. So and if people
166
00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:18.399
go to Michelle Explains Anime Poorly on their favorite podcasting app,
167
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:21.360
they can listen to you covering all of the episodes
168
00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:24.039
of the first season a Windbreaker.
169
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:28.240
Yeah, yes, yes, we're done with that. Yeah, there are
170
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:30.799
thirteen episodes, and there is going to be a second season,
171
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:32.559
but it's not out yet and probably won't cover it.
172
00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:36.879
So oh geez, there's just so much going on. I mean,
173
00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:40.200
probably won't come out until like twenty twenty six, so
174
00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:42.000
who knows if I'll even be alive.
175
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:48.440
Jez, Michelle. Well, and before we change the subject again,
176
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:50.200
I want to remind you if you love listening to

00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:53.480

00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:55.639

180
00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:03.840
single week with a new show, and her commentary is
181
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:08.759
really really fun. So yeah, so you're gonna say something no, no.
182
00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:11.799
Please, Oh I was gonna say, we are taking two
183
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:17.000
weeks off in between because I'm trying to hit the
184
00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:21.000
Halloween episode of Banana Fish on Halloween, So oh nice,
185
00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:28.039
pushed everything back slightly. But yeah, this this coming season
186
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:32.279
should be if you really like me being uncomfortable, that's correct,
187
00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:35.600
that's what you're gonna You're gonna get in the coming season.
188
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:38.679
So I feel like that is a highlight of this program.
189
00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:40.639
So I feel like that's gonna have a lot of
190
00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:41.519
crossover appeal.
191
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:44.919
Yeah, yeah, really uncomfortable. Like I had to stop and
192
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:48.480
like there was a line of dialogue where every time
193
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:51.159
I said it, I laughed, So I had to stop
194
00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:54.440
for like ten minutes and just kind of calm down.
195
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:57.840
So yeah, sometimes when I get into a flow on
196
00:10:57.879 --> 00:11:00.720
my podcast, I have to stop collaboration and listen.
197
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:02.279
Yeah, I don't have to do that.
198
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:10.200
Well, Well, before we go to our first break, chel
199
00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:12.799
do you want to know what this month's topic is?
200
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:18.200
I guess so surprisingly this was not planned. When we
201
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:22.960
were talking about your sleep friend enemy, your sleep frenemy,
202
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:29.480
We're going to talk about sleep paralysis, okay, because that's
203
00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:31.440
one of those things where I literally was like, I
204
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:34.080
want to talk about sleep paralysis again on Monthly Spooky,
205
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:35.639
and then it looked back and I was like, or ever,
206
00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:40.120
I thought for sure we had covered it before too. Yeah,
207
00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:42.000
we may have just talked briefly about the fact that
208
00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:45.240
I've had sleep paralysis on and off my whole life.
209
00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:48.200
But last week on Terrifying and True, we did a
210
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:52.240
story about sleep paralysis and it got a lot of reaction,
211
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:55.000
creeped a lot of people out, made some people who
212
00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:59.480
have sleep paralysis very upset. So I promised on that
213
00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:02.039
show that we would talk about it in depth here
214
00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:05.000
and I would share my experiences with it since I
215
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:08.240
was only I was exclusively reading some people who had
216
00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:11.679
reported to like BuzzFeed and other places about their experiences
217
00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:15.480
with sleep paralysis. So we're gonna talk all about sleep
218
00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:24.879
paralysis aka old Hag syndrome, because what a title. But
219
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:27.000
I'm looking forward to chatting about that. But of course,
220
00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:29.679
before we get to that, you gotta eat your vegetables
221
00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:32.360
before you can have your steak. I don't know if
222
00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:36.399
that's really a saying or even a thing, but but
223
00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:46.519
after this break, we're gonna be back with the spooky news,
224
00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:51.799
all right. Before we get to all that shell, I
225
00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:55.279
was just talking off Mike about this, and I wanted
226
00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:57.799
to talk about it a little bit. A friend of
227
00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:00.919
mine was talking about how in a somewhere in the
228
00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:05.960
United States, a abandoned pizza hut was being reconverted into
229
00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:07.840
a pizza hut.
230
00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:09.080
Which is pretty cool.
231
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:11.639
Which is pretty cool, and the meme is that nature
232
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:15.840
is healing. Because have you seen abandoned pizza huts. They
233
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:17.120
paint them gray.
234
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:19.279
I don't know.
235
00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:21.720
It's the saddest thing I've ever seen, because you know
236
00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:23.519
how they looked like huts back in the day.
237
00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:24.919
The old school pizza huts, pizza.
238
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:29.960
Well, they paint them like an off, like a grayish brown.
239
00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:33.000
Why so that they're not because that way, it doesn't
