1
00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:06.360
Spring is always sold as a fresh start. Open the windows,
2
00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:11.880
let the light in, shake off the winter gloom. But
3
00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:17.079
horror knows better because the moment the world starts looking
4
00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:22.679
alive again, that's when the weird stuff starts moving under
5
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:29.199
the surface. Eggs hatch, old urges, wake up, parasites wriggle,
6
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:35.079
loose buried things decide they're not as buried as everyone hoped.
7
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:39.960
This week in horror History is full of that exact energy,
8
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:46.359
flesh that won't behave desire that turns feral stories about
9
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:51.119
stories that get cursed just by being told. A city
10
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:55.359
collapsing under viral panic, and one of horror's all time
11
00:00:55.479 --> 00:01:00.240
great lessons, getting another reminder. When the dead come back,
12
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:05.239
they do not come back friendly. So keep the shovel
13
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:09.400
out of the ground, don't trust anything slimy, and if
14
00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:24.239
somebody says the prank has gone too far, believe them.
15
00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:28.840
Welcome back to this week in Horror History. I'm your host,
16
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:33.719
Enrique Cuto, and today we're talking about March thirtieth through
17
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:39.519
April fifth, coming up. A nasty little alien plague splatterfest
18
00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:44.640
that oozed into theaters and became a cult favorite. A sweaty,
19
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:50.640
seductive New Orleans nightmare where sex and transformation are basically
20
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:55.959
the same thing. A docuseries that asks whether horror productions
21
00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:00.079
are cursed or whether we just need the curse to
22
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:03.920
be true. And a Stephen King remake that proved The
23
00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:08.520
Burial Ground still had plenty of box office life left
24
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:12.280
in it. Then right after the break, our deep cut Spotlight,
25
00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:16.960
a Raccoon City panic sprint where every hall feels like
26
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:25.400
you're already too late. March thirty, first, two thousand and six.
27
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:31.719
Slither opens in the United States and immediately reminds everybody
28
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:38.240
horror can be disgusting, funny, and weirdly lovable all at
29
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:42.159
the same time. James Gunn's first feature film as a
30
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:48.360
director is pure goop, canon chaos, alien parasites, small town panic,
31
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:52.319
mutant Flesh, and Henry portrait of a serial killer's own
32
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:57.080
Michael Rooker turning into the kind of problem you absolutely
33
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:02.879
do not solve with polite conversation. What makes it stick
34
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:08.120
is the tone. Slither is gross, sure, but it's also playful.
35
00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:12.840
It knows exactly how ridiculous its own nightmare is, and
36
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:18.319
that confidence lets it swerve from genuine creature feature nastiness
37
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:23.439
into laugh out loud madness without losing any momentum. At
38
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:27.919
the box office, it underperformed about twelve point eight million
39
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:32.719
dollars worldwide on a fifteen million dollar budget. But this
40
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:36.039
is exactly the kind of movie that found its real
41
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:40.719
audience later on disc, on cable, on streaming, and in
42
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:45.599
the hearts of those who love their horror slimy and mean.
43
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:49.439
And of course, this was just the beginning of an incredibly,
44
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:53.879
incredibly prolific directing career for James Gunn. This was way
45
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:58.759
before Guardians of the Galaxy, way before Superman, way before Peacemaker,
46
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:02.840
and his work only got more interesting from here. I
47
00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:06.840
really recommend checking out his early uvra, especially the bizarre
48
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:12.800
superhero film aptly titled super It's a great watch if
49
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:14.879
you've never seen it or want to give it a
50
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:18.399
nice revisit. There's a phenomenal blu ray available, and of
51
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:21.319
course you can rent or buy it on the usual
52
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:26.639
suspects like Amazon, Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at home,
53
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:34.000
but bring a pre moistened towelette you'll need it. On
54
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:39.360
April second, nineteen eighty two, Cat People prowls into theaters
55
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:43.480
and gives us one of the sleekest, strangest studio horror
56
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:48.000
films of the early eighties. This isn't subtle horror. This
57
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:54.600
is elegant, erotic, dreamlike danger. You have Black Leopards, New
58
00:04:54.720 --> 00:05:00.199
Orleans heat, Giorgio Moroder's incredibly pulsing score, and movie that
59
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:06.319
treats desire like a curse waiting to pounds. The legendary
60
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:10.000
Paul Schrader's remake of the nineteen forty two classic is
61
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:14.439
the kind of film that feels expensive and disreputable at
62
00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:18.279
the same time, which I mean as a strict compliment.
63
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:25.560
It's glossy, weird and absolutely committed to its own feverish mood. Commercially,
64
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:29.439
it was a modest performer, but not a smash hit,
65
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:33.959
roughly twenty one million dollars worldwide on a reported twelve
66
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:37.800
point five million dollar budget. Not a disaster, not a
67
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:42.199
runaway hit, more like a beautiful oddball that kept scratching
68
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:46.439
its way into cult status. And honestly, Schrader has a
69
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:50.839
lot of those films that are truly incredible in hindsight,
70
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:54.319
but at the time people didn't seem to appreciate them
71
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:57.000
nearly enough. Of course, then he has films that were
72
00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:00.680
universally loved, so take it for what it is. I
73
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:04.160
mean as a writer, he gave us Taxi Driver, Rolling Thunder,
74
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:07.800
Raging Bull, The Last Temptation of Christ, and then a
75
00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:10.839
laundry list of great films that had to be kind
76
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:14.399
of learned to be loved later. A couple of my
77
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:18.959
favorites would be Light, Sleeper or Auto Focus. When his
78
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:22.079
name is on the work, it's probably worth giving a shot.
79
00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:25.560
So if you've never seen the nineteen eighty two Cat
80
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:28.759
People remake, you should really check it out. It's available
81
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:31.360
to rent or buy at the usual suspects, as I've
82
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:34.839
said so many times, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and
83
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:37.920
Fandango at Home. You can rent it or buy it.
84
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:42.000
Either way, you're in for a good time and watch out,
85
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:52.120
because the kitty has claws. On April second, twenty twenty,
86
00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:56.879
Cursed Films premieres on the Shutter streaming service and taps
87
00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:01.399
directly into one of horror fandom's favorite ubsesson not just
88
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:06.360
scary movies, but the idea that some scary films somehow
89
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:10.800
brought something awful home with them. What's smart about the
90
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:14.759
series is that it doesn't just wallow in spooky trivia.
91
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:18.279
It digs into the machinery of the myth. Why do
92
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:22.560
these stories survive, things like the Crow being cursed or
93
00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:26.680
Poltergeist being cursed? Why do we keep passing them around?
94
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:29.839
And what happens when real tragedy gets mixed up with
95
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:34.680
campfire story mentality and sold back to us as a curse.
96
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:39.319
That makes cursed films a perfect horror history entry. And
97
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:42.000
as you know, that's something I care about quite a bit.
98
00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:45.199
And it's not just about genre titles. It's about the
99
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:49.279
stories horror fans tell each other about the genre itself.
100
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:51.560
One of my favorite episodes, by the way, is when
101
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:55.160
they dive into the Wizard of Oz. It gets pretty
102
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:59.279
fascinating and pretty damn dark. And of course it's streaming
103
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:02.560
currently on Shutter, where it was premiered and where it'll
104
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:05.319
probably be forever, but you can also get it on
105
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:08.000
AMC Plus, so check it out if you need a
106
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:11.040
docuseriies to keep you on the edge of your seat.
107
00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:21.560
On April fifth, twenty nineteen, pet Cemetery opens in the US. Well,
108
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:24.319
it's a remake, but I think you already knew that.
109
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:28.720
It proved once again that Stephen King plus Grief plus
110
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:33.879
one very bad idea is still a very powerful horror recipe.
111
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:37.440
In no way does this film replace the nineteen eighty
112
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:41.559
nine version in fans' hearts, but it does understand the
113
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:45.679
core sickness of the premise, the desperate human belief that
114
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:50.159
maybe this one rule can be broken, maybe death can
115
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:55.840
be negotiated with, maybe love can outargue the grave, and
116
00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:00.159
horror being horror answers that with a hard now know.
117
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:03.919
And while some people hated the film and some people
118
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:07.399
loved it, as we'll see from the box office numbers,
119
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:11.000
I thought it was a pretty effective remake retelling of
120
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:13.840
the original novel. I had a lot of fun with it.
121
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:17.159
Although that nineteen eighty nine one and the sequel in
122
00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:20.159
the nineties they still get to me in a way
123
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:24.440
that I don't think anything modern really could. Financially, it
124
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:27.639
was a clear hit. It did around one hundred and
125
00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:32.279
thirteen million dollars worldwide on a twenty one million dollar budget.
126
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:36.240
That's not just decent business. That's the kind of return
127
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:41.840
that proves the title still has still has clause. I'm
128
00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:46.879
laughing because I improvised that line earlier and about clause,
129
00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:49.799
and I had already written a reference about clause but
130
00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:53.399
I'm leaving it in because this is this is charming. Yeah,
131
00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:56.399
it's charming. If you want to check out the twenty
132
00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:01.279
nineteen pet Cemetery or revisit it because you know, sometimes
133
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:04.440
dead is better, you can stream it on Paramount Plus
134
00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:08.039
or rent or by it on Apple TV and Fandango
135
00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:19.480
at Home. Tomorrow on Weekly Spooky is no April Fool's Prank.
136
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:23.759
We're telling a story all about a man chasing a
137
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:27.679
mysterious lay line through the back roads of the Midwest.
138
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:33.879
He's expecting strange readings, but he doesn't expect the line
139
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:38.000
to bend where it never should, or to lead him
140
00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:42.639
to a castle that has no business existing there. And
141
00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:46.519
he definitely does not expect a beautiful woman in distress
142
00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:49.840
to come running out of the darkness begging him to
143
00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:54.120
save her from a monster sleeping in the dungeon below.
144
00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:57.720
But the deeper he goes into that castle, the less
145
00:10:57.799 --> 00:11:03.120
anything makes sense. Frightened father, a seductive stranger, a coffin
146
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:07.759
in the dark, and the creeping feeling that every step
147
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:13.960
forward is leading him straight into a trap design just
148
00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:18.919
for him. This Wednesday Tomorrow on Weekly Spooky, for April
149
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:22.440
Fool's Day, We've got a horror story that starts like
150
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:28.039
a Gothic nightmare and keeps twisting into something stranger, funnier,
151
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:33.759
and far more dangerous than anyone should trust. After midnight,
152
00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:39.080
It's Fooled You by Douglas Waltz, So tune in tomorrow,
153
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:42.879
make sure you're subscribed, and remember, on April Fool's Day,
154
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:51.279
the joke might be on you. All right, spookies, We're
155
00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:53.960
gonna take a quick break, but when we come back,
156
00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:58.399
we're heading into our deep cut spotlight. We'll be creeping
157
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:02.600
into the world of Residence Evil. Not the slow burned
158
00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:07.120
mansion or the creeping police station dread. This one is
159
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:11.279
a panic attack with sirens, a collapsing city, and one
160
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:15.120
unstoppable monster who feels less like a boss battle and
161
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:34.919
more like bad news that learned how to walk. We're back,
162
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:39.960
my spooky is, so let's get into it. On April third,
163
00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:46.200
twenty twenty, Resident Evil three drops on PlayStation four, Windows
164
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:49.639
and Xbox one, and for a lot of horror fans,
165
00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:54.120
it lands like a shot of pure Raccoon City adrenaline.
166
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:58.679
Resident Evil two is the locked door nightmare, but Part
167
00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:02.600
three is the nightmare that kicks the door off the hinges.
168
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:07.679
Everything about this one is built around momentum. Jill Valentine
169
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:11.559
isn't creeping through a haunted space so much as trying
170
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:16.000
to stay half a step ahead of total civic collapse.
171
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:21.399
Streets are on fire, systems are failing. Escape routes keep shrinking,
172
00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:24.960
and Nemesis is the perfect monster for that kind of
173
00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:28.799
game because he doesn't just scare you so much as
174
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:33.639
he interrupts you. And honestly, that's the real charm of
175
00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:38.879
Resident Evil three. It understands pressure. Even people who were
176
00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:42.440
mixed on it usually agree on the basics. It looks great,
177
00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:46.879
it moves fast, and when it hits it absolutely nails
178
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:51.360
that hunted, cornered feeling that the series has always done
179
00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:54.480
so well. It's the kind of remake that may not
180
00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:59.399
satisfy everybody equally, but what remake does, but it still
181
00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:02.360
manages to capture the mood of being trapped in a
182
00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:07.720
disaster that's already bigger than you or anyone can fix.
183
00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:11.080
And honestly, that makes it great for a deep cut
184
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:14.879
because late March and early April are full of horror
185
00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:20.039
entries that feel like boundaries giving way, and Resident Evil
186
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:23.759
three is basically an entire game about the moment the
187
00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:27.720
barricades stop mattering. As far as how to play it,
188
00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:32.440
it's available on PlayStation through their store or Xbox or Steam,
189
00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:35.159
so you gamers already know how to get your hands
190
00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:38.080
on it. So why not play today and see if
191
00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:46.919
you can escape Raccoon City. Let's dive into some spooky
192
00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:51.120
horror birthdays, So light a black candle and put it
193
00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:55.519
in the cake. On March thirtieth, nineteen fifty seven, Tawny
194
00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:59.919
Moyer is born, forever remembered by horror fans as Nurse
195
00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:04.320
Jill in Halloween two, a film that honestly does deserve
196
00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:07.080
a lot more love than it gets. It's a lot
197
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:10.840
of fun, and it's a great, thrilling and mean spirited
198
00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:16.440
follow up to the original, legendary classic. A very happy
199
00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:23.200
birthday to Tawny Moyer. On March thirty first, nineteen forty three,
200
00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:28.039
Christopher Walkin is born, a man whose genre stops include
201
00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:31.759
the Dead Zone and Sleepy Hollow, A man who can
202
00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:36.960
make almost any line sound oddly supernatural. And I'm not
203
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:38.879
going to try to do an impression of his voice
204
00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:41.600
because I've never been able to nail the cadence. But
205
00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:46.000
he always makes a role memorable, and that includes his
206
00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:51.679
horror films. So a very happy birthday, Christopher Walkin. On
207
00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:57.120
April first, eighteen eighty three, Lon Cheney is born, the
208
00:15:57.279 --> 00:16:01.399
Silent era legend whose transformative performances in the Phantom of
209
00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:04.600
the Opera and The Hunchback of Notre Dame helped to
210
00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:09.879
define horror stardom. The man is an absolute icon, and
211
00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:13.039
even his son brought an incredible amount to the genre
212
00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:16.120
and to film as a whole. So if you get
213
00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:18.919
a chance, crack open your favorite old black and white
214
00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:22.200
horror movie over the weekend or whenever you're off work
215
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:26.720
and enjoy a little bit of that fun and cozy dread,
216
00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:30.440
because a lot of it started with Lon Cheney. So
217
00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:37.759
happy birthday, mister Cheney. And speaking of horror icons. On
218
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:42.879
April fourth, nineteen thirty two, Anthony Perkins is born, the
219
00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:47.320
beautifully unsettling soul of Psycho and one of horror's all
220
00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:53.200
time great faces of of everything. Right mother, right mother?
221
00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:56.279
And also I want to mention if you've never seen
222
00:16:56.320 --> 00:17:00.120
the Psycho sequels, they are really worth your time. Anthony
223
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:03.799
Perkins reprises his role very well and even brings a
224
00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:09.240
great degree of empathy to the Lovable Psycho, and he
225
00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:12.720
directed Part three, which in my opinion, is just eighties
226
00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:16.599
as hell in the best possible way. A very happy
227
00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:24.480
birthday to Anthony Perkins. Our then and now this week
228
00:17:24.599 --> 00:17:31.119
gives us horror in four escalating forms. First infestation, something
229
00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:36.079
alien gets inside the body and turns a town into meat.
230
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:43.039
Then desire, something ancient an animal turns longing into danger.
231
00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:48.240
Then myth. We stop asking whether horror stories are true
232
00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:51.799
and start asking why we want them to be true.
233
00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:56.240
And then finally grief, the oldest trap in the genre,
234
00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:00.599
bringing back what should have stayed gone. And right in
235
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:03.839
the middle of all of that, Resident Evil three gives
236
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:07.880
us the panic version the moment containment fails and horror
237
00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:12.720
stops lurking in the shadows because it no longer has to.
238
00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:20.759
And for our weekly recommendation published on April fifth, nineteen
1
00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:06.360

00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:11.880
