1
00:00:00.620 --> 00:00:04.980
The final week of September is when Halloween feels less

2
00:00:05.059 --> 00:00:12.269
like a holiday and more like destiny. The decorations are out,

3
00:00:12.730 --> 00:00:18.989
the masks are within reach, and movie marathons become rituals.

4
00:00:19.809 --> 00:00:24.550
This week gives us twin doctors sharing identities, a loving

5
00:00:24.629 --> 00:00:30.280
television monster family, a grieving husband following a dead wife's letter,

6
00:00:30.859 --> 00:00:35.399
into the fog, and a campus killer using folklore as

7
00:00:35.460 --> 00:00:39.759
an instruction manual. And for our deep cut spotlight, two

8
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:44.579
men wake aboard a failing starship with no memory and

9
00:00:44.700 --> 00:00:49.810
something hunting through the corridors. So check the fog, make

10
00:00:49.869 --> 00:00:53.070
sure the person beside you is the twin you think

11
00:00:53.109 --> 00:00:57.149
they are, and when somebody swears an urban legend actually

12
00:00:57.229 --> 00:01:01.700
happened to a friend of a friend, ask which friend

13
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:16.150
they're referring to. Welcome back to This Week in Horror History,

14
00:01:16.609 --> 00:01:22.760
your weekly time machine through the creepiest anniversaries in films, TV, books, comics,

15
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:27.209
and games. I'm your host Enrique Couto. And tonight, we're

16
00:01:27.250 --> 00:01:33.510
talking about September 21st through 27th. Coming up, David Cronenberg

17
00:01:33.569 --> 00:01:39.750
gives Jeremy Irons two faces and one collapsing identity. Television

18
00:01:39.859 --> 00:01:46.099
audiences are welcomed to 1313 Mockingbird Lane. A sequel sends

19
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:50.040
James Sunderland into the fog after a letter from his

20
00:01:50.099 --> 00:01:54.280
dead wife, and urban legends bring dorm room warnings to

21
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:58.640
life on campus. Then, after the break, two men awaken

22
00:01:58.700 --> 00:02:03.500
aboard a silent starship with no memory and something moving

23
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:07.519
through the ventilation system. September 23rd, 1988. Dead Ringers opens

24
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:10.280
in U.S. theaters, and David Cronenberg turns identical twins into...

25
00:02:19.729 --> 00:02:25.050
one identity splitting straight down the middle. Jeremy Irons plays

26
00:02:25.150 --> 00:02:30.840
Beverly and Elliot Mantle, brilliant gynecologists whose resemblance lets them

27
00:02:31.250 --> 00:02:37.900
share patience, credit, and women without informing anyone involved. Elliot

28
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:44.219
is controlling. Beverly is increasingly dependent on him. Then Beverly

29
00:02:44.300 --> 00:02:50.479
falls for actor Claire Nouveau, played by Genevieve Bujall. Creating

30
00:02:50.539 --> 00:02:55.919
a private life, Elliot can't enter. Cronenberg finds horror in

31
00:02:56.460 --> 00:03:00.960
medical instruments, which is nothing new for him, addiction, and

32
00:03:01.099 --> 00:03:04.879
the fear that the person who understands you best may

33
00:03:04.969 --> 00:03:10.810
prevent you from becoming separate. Irons makes the brothers distinct

34
00:03:10.889 --> 00:03:16.430
until the film dashes that certainty away. Dead Ringers earned

35
00:03:16.469 --> 00:03:21.909
about $ 8. 8 million domestically. with an estimated budget of around

36
00:03:21.909 --> 00:03:26.330
$ 10 or $ 11 million. So the theatrical run was modest,

37
00:03:26.530 --> 00:03:30.860
as has happened with a lot of Cronenberg's strange choices

38
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:35.780
and fascinating films, but it's absolutely worth your time because, well,

39
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:39.479
if you don't mind your films being a little squishy,

40
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:43.490
Cronenberg is your guy. It's free with ads on the

41
00:03:43.550 --> 00:03:47.810
Roku channel, Plex, and Prime Video. Or you can, of course,

42
00:03:47.870 --> 00:03:50.590
rent or buy it on Apple TV, Amazon Video, and

43
00:03:50.689 --> 00:04:00.610
Fandango at home. September 24th, 1964. The Munsters premieres on CBS,

44
00:04:01.030 --> 00:04:05.110
and a family assembled from classic horror imagery moves into

45
00:04:05.530 --> 00:04:11.810
American primetime. Fred Gwynn plays Herman Munster phenomenally, a towering

46
00:04:11.930 --> 00:04:17.370
father with Frankenstein's face and an enthusiastic suburban dad's heart.

47
00:04:18.110 --> 00:04:23.829
Yvonne DiCarlo plays Lily, Al Lewis's vampire grandpa, Butch Patrick

48
00:04:23.930 --> 00:04:27.620
is the werewolf's son Eddie, and Marilyn is the beautiful

49
00:04:27.689 --> 00:04:33.339
niece the family considers unfortunate-looking. The Munsters and the Addams

50
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:37.000
Family premiered within one week of each other, but they're

51
00:04:37.769 --> 00:04:43.089
baseline their engines differ greatly the Adams's delight in strangeness

52
00:04:43.550 --> 00:04:48.069
the Munsters believe they are an ordinary working family surrounded

53
00:04:48.149 --> 00:04:53.199
by overly nervous neighbors Herman may knock down a wall

54
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:56.939
by turning too quickly but the conflict is usually a

55
00:04:57.339 --> 00:05:02.050
misunderstanding or fear that he's embarrassed the people he loves

56
00:05:02.569 --> 00:05:05.560
And that's why both of these series truly stand the

57
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:07.959
test of time. And while I am more an Addams

58
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:12.529
Family person than a Munster person personally... That doesn't say

59
00:05:12.589 --> 00:05:16.300
a lot negative about The Munsters. I've always loved that show,

60
00:05:16.329 --> 00:05:18.560
and if you haven't given The Munsters a watch in

61
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:22.259
a while, well, Halloween season is right around the corner. Well,

62
00:05:22.500 --> 00:05:26.439
it's really just already here. It's readily available to watch

63
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:29.139
free with ads on the Roku channel, and of course

64
00:05:29.180 --> 00:05:33.199
you can buy whole seasons on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV,

65
00:05:33.339 --> 00:05:37.240
and Fandango at home. It's also streaming with your Prime

66
00:05:37.259 --> 00:05:47.689
Video subscription and on Peacock. September 25th, 2001, Silent Hill

67
00:05:47.689 --> 00:05:52.920
2 reaches North America for PlayStation 2 and fog becomes

68
00:05:52.980 --> 00:05:56.579
a place where guilt seems to build its own streets.

69
00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:00.759
James Sunderland receives a letter from his wife Mary asking

70
00:06:00.819 --> 00:06:04.379
him to meet her in their special place in Silent Hill.

71
00:06:05.060 --> 00:06:10.439
Mary has been dead for three years, but James goes anyway.

72
00:06:11.170 --> 00:06:15.350
The town is nearly empty beneath its heavy fog. James

73
00:06:15.410 --> 00:06:20.180
meets several damaged strangers and Maria, a woman who looks

74
00:06:20.269 --> 00:06:25.019
like Mary, but behaves like the version he may have

75
00:06:25.139 --> 00:06:29.620
invented rather than the one that actually lived. Pyramid Head

76
00:06:29.699 --> 00:06:34.500
became a horror gaming icon, but every creature really comes

77
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:41.110
off very personal, as if the town translates buried thoughts into... flesh.

78
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:47.579
Hallways repeat, radios crackle, and locked doors suggest James sealed

79
00:06:47.660 --> 00:06:53.740
something away from himself rather than being sealed away. The

80
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:59.259
original game is most reliably played on a legacy PlayStation 2, Xbox,

81
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:04.040
or PC with a physical copy. The 2024 remake is

82
00:07:04.139 --> 00:07:08.889
sold for PlayStation 5, Xbox, and Windows PC through Steam

83
00:07:08.970 --> 00:07:12.790
and Epic Game Store. So why not spook yourself out tonight?

84
00:07:15.620 --> 00:07:22.379
September 25th, 1998. Urban Legend opens in U.S. theaters and

85
00:07:22.459 --> 00:07:28.769
turns stories everybody swears are true into a slasher's operating manual.

86
00:07:29.490 --> 00:07:33.750
At Pendleton University, Natalie Simon connects a series of deaths

87
00:07:33.910 --> 00:07:38.490
to familiar urban legends. the killer in the backseat, the

88
00:07:38.550 --> 00:07:42.620
roommate who doesn't turn on the light, and other warnings

89
00:07:42.740 --> 00:07:47.899
traded as fact. The campus is built for rumor. Students

90
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:52.360
trade stories, a professor explains how legends mutate, and a

91
00:07:52.420 --> 00:07:56.819
journalist wants the headline before the facts. By the time

92
00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:00.879
anyone sees the pattern, the killer has a culture's worth

93
00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:04.560
of material to go on. This film, oh, I love it.

94
00:08:05.100 --> 00:08:10.360
Alicia Witt leads an extremely 1998 ensemble. The hook works

95
00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:13.959
because we recognize each setup and wait to see which

96
00:08:14.500 --> 00:08:18.230
details get changed, much like your favorite friend at a

97
00:08:18.259 --> 00:08:21.329
slumber party telling you the same story you heard before.

98
00:08:21.870 --> 00:08:30.339
from a cousin at Thanksgiving. Urban Legend grossed about $ 38. 1

99
00:08:27.139 --> 00:08:34.200
million domestically and $ 72. 6 million worldwide against a $ 14 million budget.

100
00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:37.279
So not a bad hit, especially when you consider how

101
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:41.509
cable and VHS were booming in this era, and it

102
00:08:41.649 --> 00:08:45.529
caused two follow-up films to be released, and they are

103
00:08:45.990 --> 00:08:48.250
really fun and worth your time, but it's very rare

104
00:08:48.289 --> 00:08:51.240
that anything can beat the original, and and Urban Legend

105
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:53.779
is no different. If you've never seen Urban Legend somehow,

106
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:57.000
or it's been a long time, this is a slasher

107
00:08:57.019 --> 00:09:00.059
film you've got to have in your oeuvre. It manages

108
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:04.279
to stay fresh while being post-Scream, but also manages to

109
00:09:04.669 --> 00:09:08.090
kind of pull on that meta thing that Scream was

110
00:09:08.149 --> 00:09:11.570
doing while being all about the urban legends we all

111
00:09:11.629 --> 00:09:15.929
held near and dear at every long, dark car ride

112
00:09:15.970 --> 00:09:20.340
we heard them at. Obviously, I've founded an entire podcast

113
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:24.139
world around my love of storytelling and urban legends, so

114
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:27.279
I love seeing them get their due in a feature film.

115
00:09:27.860 --> 00:09:30.519
So if you want to give Urban Legend a watch tonight,

116
00:09:30.620 --> 00:09:34.299
it's available to rent or buy on Amazon Video, Apple TV,

117
00:09:34.460 --> 00:09:44.269
and Fandango at home. Tomorrow on Weekly Spooky, children are disappearing.

118
00:09:45.129 --> 00:09:52.399
No ransom. No witnesses. No explanation. But FBI agent Francesca

119
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:56.789
Carter has a theory, and it sounds like something out

120
00:09:56.830 --> 00:10:00.860
of a fairy tale. In the fairy tale, Folk by

121
00:10:00.909 --> 00:10:05.860
Tyler Belmont, a veteran investigator follows a string of impossible

122
00:10:05.940 --> 00:10:13.139
child abductions to one terrifying conclusion. The kidnappers aren't human.

123
00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:19.340
Forget tiny wings. Forget sparkling magic. Forget everything you were

124
00:10:19.419 --> 00:10:23.980
taught about... fairies as a child. The Fair Folk are

125
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:30.919
beautiful because beauty makes humans trust them. Their songs are hypnotic.

126
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:37.009
Their promises are traps. And hidden inside the forest of

127
00:10:37.129 --> 00:10:43.090
our world are circles that open into theirs. Franny thinks

128
00:10:43.169 --> 00:10:47.830
she's finally found one. A ring of mushrooms, a doorway

129
00:10:47.889 --> 00:10:56.559
beneath the moonlight, and... On the other side, winter. Elves armed,

130
00:10:56.860 --> 00:11:01.879
children crying, and a queen holding a stolen baby in

131
00:11:01.940 --> 00:11:06.840
her arms. Franny crossed into Fairyland to bring those children home,

132
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:12.480
but humans have no authority there, no backup, and no rules.

133
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:16.519
Join us tomorrow for the premiere of Tyler Belmont's The

134
00:11:16.620 --> 00:11:20.940
Fair Folk, right here on Weekly Spooky. Make sure you're

135
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:25.340
subscribed on your favorite podcast app to never miss a scare.

136
00:11:29.259 --> 00:11:34.009
All right, spookies, let's take a quick breather. But when

137
00:11:34.049 --> 00:11:38.850
we come back, we're headed to September 25th, 2009 for

138
00:11:38.870 --> 00:11:43.870
a highly underrated sci-fi horror film. Two crew members awake

139
00:11:43.909 --> 00:11:47.429
aboard a starship with no memory. The reactor is failing,

140
00:11:47.470 --> 00:11:50.470
the bridge is sealed, and the noises in the dark

141
00:11:51.009 --> 00:12:09.190
are getting closer. And we're back, so let's get into it.

142
00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:16.580
For our deep-cut spotlight... We're heading into September 25th, 2009,

143
00:12:16.580 --> 00:12:22.330
when Pandorium opens in U.S. theaters and asks what remains

144
00:12:22.379 --> 00:12:26.450
of humanity after the lights go out for longer than

145
00:12:27.009 --> 00:12:32.330
anyone can remember. Ben Foster plays Corporal Bower, who wakes

146
00:12:32.389 --> 00:12:37.490
from hypersleep aboard the Elysium, with no idea how long

147
00:12:37.549 --> 00:12:41.980
he slept or why the crew is missing. Dennis Quaid

148
00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:47.320
is Lieutenant Payton, another survivor trapped behind a sealed bulkhead.

149
00:12:48.100 --> 00:12:53.179
Bauer crawls toward the failing reactor. That would be dangerous

150
00:12:53.259 --> 00:12:57.610
enough if the ship were abandoned, but it's not. The

151
00:12:57.669 --> 00:13:01.990
Elysium is an ark carrying thousands of colonists toward a

152
00:13:02.049 --> 00:13:08.710
new world, somewhere in transit. Order collapsed and human-shaped hunters

153
00:13:08.789 --> 00:13:14.990
began moving. through the corridors. Christian Alvart builds a mechanical

154
00:13:15.090 --> 00:13:20.429
haunted house of sweating pipes and pulsing emergency lights. The

155
00:13:20.470 --> 00:13:25.269
title names a deep space psychosis, so every memory gap

156
00:13:25.350 --> 00:13:30.899
carries another threat. Can Bauer and Payton trust what they

157
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:37.909
themselves perceive? Pandorum mixes creature feature, survival horror, and mystery,

158
00:13:38.529 --> 00:13:44.669
with entire histories possibly rising and falling while most passengers slept.

159
00:13:45.529 --> 00:13:48.809
Pandorum was not a huge hit at the box office,

160
00:13:48.870 --> 00:13:54.159
making about $ 10. 3 million domestically against roughly $ 33 to $ 40

161
00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:56.440
million in budget, and it pulled in around $ 17 million worldwide.

162
00:14:01.370 --> 00:14:04.690
But home viewing later built this into kind of a

163
00:14:04.830 --> 00:14:08.179
durable cult favorite. I only saw this film for the

164
00:14:08.220 --> 00:14:12.080
first time once about five weeks ago because it came

165
00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:14.960
up in some you've never seen this but should list

166
00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:18.870
and Pandorum was friggin awesome. I really enjoyed it. I

167
00:14:18.909 --> 00:14:20.750
thought it had a lot of tension. It had a

168
00:14:20.769 --> 00:14:24.350
lot of early 2000s charm while being at the end

169
00:14:24.409 --> 00:14:27.429
of the early 2000s. I enjoyed it a lot, and

170
00:14:27.529 --> 00:14:30.990
I think you will too. It's streaming free on Prime

171
00:14:31.029 --> 00:14:33.750
Video with your subscription or free with ads on the

172
00:14:33.820 --> 00:14:38.019
Roku channel, Pluto TV, Plex, and Prime Video free with ads.

173
00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:40.679
And of course, you could always rent or buy it

174
00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:44.720
on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, or Fandango at home.

175
00:14:49.139 --> 00:14:54.649
Now let's bake ourselves a creepy cake for some horror-related birthdays.

176
00:14:55.379 --> 00:14:59.419
And we have a couple of doozies this week, starting

177
00:14:59.460 --> 00:15:05.879
with September 21st, 1947, when Stephen King was born. The

178
00:15:05.980 --> 00:15:12.629
author whose towns, hotels, cars, dogs, clowns, and ordinary rooms

179
00:15:12.710 --> 00:15:17.850
gave modern horror a shared language for fear. I don't

180
00:15:17.889 --> 00:15:21.610
think I really need to wax poetic about Stephen King.

181
00:15:21.710 --> 00:15:25.240
He is considered a master of horror in every way,

182
00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:29.299
and rightfully so. So a very happy birthday, Stephen King.

183
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:37.320
Born on September 25th, 1985, is Tatiana Maslany, the Emmy-winning

184
00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:41.570
actress who made multiple identities fully distinct in Orphan Black,

185
00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:45.289
with earlier genre work where I first saw her in

186
00:15:45.370 --> 00:15:49.610
Ginger Snaps 2, which is highly underrated as a sequel,

187
00:15:49.870 --> 00:15:52.809
and her role is very good. So a very happy birthday,

188
00:15:53.340 --> 00:16:01.639
Tatiana Maslany. Born on September 26th, 1956, is Linda Hamilton.

189
00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:06.110
Sarah Connor in the Terminator films with additional stops in

190
00:16:06.169 --> 00:16:10.110
horror history with Children of the Corn, which every time

191
00:16:10.190 --> 00:16:13.690
I watch Children of the Corn, I forget Linda Hamilton

192
00:16:13.769 --> 00:16:16.220
is the lead actress in it. And then I'm always

193
00:16:16.269 --> 00:16:18.360
happy to see her. She was one of my first

194
00:16:18.419 --> 00:16:22.570
heroes ever in Terminator and Terminator 2. I've always loved

195
00:16:22.610 --> 00:16:24.970
her work, and I wish her nothing but the best.

196
00:16:25.090 --> 00:16:35.389
A very happy birthday, Linda Hamilton. And born on September 27th, 1947,

197
00:16:35.389 --> 00:16:39.929
is Meatloaf, the enormous voice and presence behind Eddie in

198
00:16:39.970 --> 00:16:45.250
the Rocky Horror Picture Show among many, many massive career highlights.

199
00:16:45.889 --> 00:16:48.730
A very happy birthday to Meatloaf and to all of

200
00:16:48.850 --> 00:16:58.220
our horror birthdays. For our then and now, this week,

201
00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:04.619
horror treats identity like a role somebody else can enter.

202
00:17:04.619 --> 00:17:09.549
1964 gives us the monsters, monster faces, and the emotional

203
00:17:09.650 --> 00:17:15.839
life of a loving suburban family. 1975 gives midnight audiences

204
00:17:15.930 --> 00:17:22.559
characters they dress as, answer, and perform beside. 1988 gives

205
00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:29.789
one actor two brothers whose shared identity becomes impossible to divide.

206
00:17:29.789 --> 00:17:34.490
1998 lets a killer step inside stories that already belong

207
00:17:34.549 --> 00:17:40.430
to everybody. 2001 sends James into a town shaped around

208
00:17:40.509 --> 00:17:45.470
the truth he can't face. And 2009 wakes two men

209
00:17:45.539 --> 00:17:50.819
without memories and asks whether a name or uniform proves...

210
00:17:51.069 --> 00:17:58.539
who they were. And finally, for our weekly recommendation, this

211
00:17:58.700 --> 00:18:02.960
one unfortunately comes as a farewell to Tim Curry, who

212
00:18:03.019 --> 00:18:08.619
passed away on August 25th, 2026, at the age of 80.

213
00:18:08.619 --> 00:18:13.269
Few performances explain what gave him horror culture icon status

214
00:18:13.329 --> 00:18:18.150
more than Dr. Frankenfurter. So for the week when Halloween

215
00:18:18.210 --> 00:18:22.359
becomes a social event, queue up the Rocky Horror Picture Show,

216
00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:26.000
or find a theater where the audience already knows when

217
00:18:26.059 --> 00:18:31.880
to shout back. Because on September 26, 1975, the film

218
00:18:32.029 --> 00:18:35.630
opened in Los Angeles and seven other United States cities,

219
00:18:36.069 --> 00:18:40.230
beginning one of the strangest theatrical lives in movie history.

220
00:18:40.890 --> 00:18:44.609
Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon play Brad and Janet, newly

221
00:18:44.690 --> 00:18:49.210
engaged sweethearts whose car breaks down in a storm. They

222
00:18:49.250 --> 00:18:51.990
walk to a castle hoping to use a telephone and

223
00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:58.940
enter a convention hosted by Curry's frankenfurter. Inside, a laboratory

224
00:18:59.079 --> 00:19:05.750
unveiling turns Frankenstein into glittering rock-and-roll provocation. The first release

225
00:19:05.910 --> 00:19:10.269
failed outside Los Angeles, but repeat viewers revealed its real

226
00:19:10.349 --> 00:19:15.079
form here. Midnight's screenings added callbacks, props, costumes, shadow casts,

227
00:19:15.220 --> 00:19:18.400
and traditions passed from one audience to the next, let

228
00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:22.329
alone when it had its big premiere on Fox on

229
00:19:22.369 --> 00:19:24.950
broadcast television. It was such an event, I remember it

230
00:19:25.390 --> 00:19:28.650
even as a very young kid. It was produced for

231
00:19:28.690 --> 00:19:32.779
roughly $ 1. 5 million and did begin as a failure, but

232
00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:38.539
after continuous theatrical play transformed it, AFI estimated the worldwide

233
00:19:38.619 --> 00:19:44.309
grosses had surpassed $ 160 million. So if you want to

234
00:19:44.329 --> 00:19:47.210
brush up on the Rocky Horror Picture Show to celebrate

235
00:19:47.630 --> 00:19:50.700
not only Tim Curry but Meatloaf's birthday... you can rent

236
00:19:50.759 --> 00:19:54.119
or buy it through Amazon Video, Apple TV, and Fandango

237
00:19:54.519 --> 00:20:00.079
at home. Well, my spookies, that's it for this week
