0:00 Brushing my teeth, right? In the mirror, in the bathroom mirror, and I just see something drift right by me. And I'm like, "OH, WHAT THE F███?" IT'S MY LITTLE DOG. It's my tiny little dog that lives in my house, you know what I mean? I know he's there, but he just scared the ████ out of me. Welcome back to this spooky episode of Careful Whispers. We're going to talk about some scary movies we've seen. What are some of the scariest things you've seen in a movie that you never could get out of your head? This is so evil. I remember when I saw the first Paranormal Activity, I wasn't like I was in high school, and I went to go see that. I didn't know what the ████ movie it was. And I just was like, "Oh, cool. I like ghost hunting shows." I thought it was even the same thing. But the end like reveal of how it all played out scared the ████ bejesus
0:52 out of me, bro. How does that first one You mean the Mexican one? No, the very first one. The very very first Paranormal Activity, and it was like Is it okay if I spoil it? The movie's like 25 years old, is that okay? Yeah. Okay. The spoiler is they think someone's haunting the house, right? They have video They have a a camera set up. that. And it's all the creepy ████ she does, and it builds and builds and builds. This Yeah, and then the final ending is he's sleeping in bed, and she wakes up and is standing over him for like all night, and she They fast forward it, and she's like going forward and back, and then she I think I actually don't even remember how the actual I think I blocked it out of my memory. uh someone grabs the leg of the He pulls him out, and then like the big like jump scare is like she jumps at the camera as a ghost or something, like
1:43 breaks down the camera. But the whole thing is that she kills the her husband. And the whole time like the ghost possessed her, and it was like that was the reveal. That that that scene where she's standing over him, and it's fast forwarding and for like so long. She's just like looking at him sleeping. it was like you hear the footsteps You hear the footsteps I was really scared by the way. Up the stairs and it's a slow build and then the jump scare happens. And I remember feeling like I was I went to go see I I went to go see a movie with a friend. I remember getting up like with the with the stairs are coming up and I knew it was going to and I was like I was trying to get the ████ up. They pulled me back down and then the big reveal happened and I was like I remember everything Yeah, that part is scary. And I don't like scary movies at all. You get a camera to watch your bed afterwards or you're like I don't want to know if this is happening? No, so you know, sure enough later that night I'm brushing my teeth, right? In the mirror in the bathroom mirror and I
2:34 just see something drift right by me and I'm like what the ████ It's my little dog. It's my tiny little dog that lives in my house, you know what I mean? I know he's there but he just scared the ████ out of me. I was freaking the ████ I remember being so scared I was like I got to pull it together, man. I got to pull it together. But that movie ████ me up I remember for a while. I wonder if like okay, so it doesn't have to just be scary films. It could be like a normal movie that traumatized you because of the image The scariest movie I ever watched or at least the way I received it was The Exorcist in high school. Exorcist is a And I don't think and I don't think I ever watched scary movies like that before. I remember watching at my friend's house and then I remember driving home in my '95 Civic and I remember going just like oh my god I look at the rear uh rear view mirror seat and it was just like
3:24 and like I think um even like laying in bed as I got home I would just see flashes of like that ████ girl's face and it it would like haunt me for like weeks. Yeah. See this is why I don't understand watching scary movies. Why would you want that? Well, so after that then you kind of get a thrill from it because then it's like I feel like then it's like roller coasters where it's like oh that was fun. No. I think once you do it enough. I have a good one that's going to really scare you all actually. Really? I watched this actually like just a few months ago and it might have been the scariest little short movie I watched. It's a short film? It's a short scary movie, yeah. What what's So it's a girl, she's driving home from her job or whatever and it's like midnight, really dark outside and she looks at her phone and she has one of those things that it says there's an air tag that's going along with her. She's like, that's weird, I don't have an air tag. So she like parks her car or
4:15 whatever and is like very slowly looking around for the air tag and it's just like really slow. You're like, hurry up, ████ find your ████ air tag and get out of there. Um she finds it and she takes it off or whatever and then she drives home not knowing that the person put two air tags on her car and so This guy's rich, huh? So she gets she so she gets to her home thinking that she like lost the guy and then looks at her phone and there's another air tag like thing on her phone and she's like, holy ████ now he knows where I live type situation. That's all I'm going to say. That sounds good. Home invasion movies I don't like, dude. Yeah, like um What's that What's that one home invasion one where the people had like bags on like burlap sacks on their heads? That was really scary. Apparently it's like based on a true story. Yeah, it was really scary because it's very it's very regular. Yeah. Right? couple goes to the woods, creepy people
5:05 go in, torture them all night and Why you going in the woods? Well, so so with scary movies, the more regular, the scarier. Yeah, because I was expecting like something sup- like something weird to happen, but it's so run-of-the-mill like peop- it's a home in a regular one. But then again, it's like, okay, this is my house. tie them up and ████ them up the whole time. Yeah, yeah, that's it. That's like And then it just tells you like, here's the real people, they've never been caught. Oh, thanks, great. Great, thank you. And they're like, yeah, this is why people have guns in their It was like a family of three, like these crazy like a crazy family or some ████ like a mom, dad and Some Appalachians. Gio doesn't even like dark tone movies. What? Like Batman Returns? Like uh like Sicario. Really? Yeah. Sicario was hard, bro. That is a pretty hard Sicario is like hard. With the freaking house? Oh, that would be so good, bro.
5:56 That movie is so scary. Have you seen Sicario? Oh, you got to watch it. Go home tonight, watch it with your son and your and your husband. And both of them are good. The first and the second. Both so good. It's gritty. It's gritty. It's my wife's favorite movie. Okay. It's her favorite favorite movie? It's her absolute favorite movie. It's a great Whenever we're feeling down, she's like throw on Sicario. It brings her spirits up? You have a good wife, kid. Mine sucks. No, dude. She'll get her into Sicario. 8 years ago? 9 years ago Sicario? But it's a ████ dope movie. But like just But just the tone and how I think how real Yeah, it's so good. It's so balanced. It's like the way they tell the story is so good. I think it's too like "It's too real. It's too dark. It's too scary." Cuz you know that's how it really goes down, probably. And it's Guillermo del Toro. He's so good. saying the right name? Benicio del Toro. One of del Toro del Toros. All three. Spicy bread.
6:47 Spicy bread bit. That's what they say. Have you guys seen Wrong Turns? Have you heard of that one? That one scared me a lot growing up in Missouri because it's about like going driving down these like woods or roads in like the middle of the woods and then there's just like barbwire traps to cause your top car tires to pop and Oh, I love that. then your car is all like stranded and then while you're trying to like go find help, there's these inbred cannibals that live in the woods that come in They harvest you pretty much. Not just cannibals, inbred ones. So you know they're even worse. I'll eat you. They're running into walls wherever they go. Their eyes are like this. They look very inbred. They look very scary. Oh, yeah, dude. Kidnapping movies are pretty scary. I remember The Shining was very pivotal in my childhood growing up. Yeah. Just the anytime you're anytime you're in a hotel hallway, you just like as a
7:38 kid, you're just like oh That one was pretty Shining is really also scary because the leading woman in that it legitimately terrified. Bro, when a homie cuts through the wall and then her face is like like that is like burned into my memory, yo. She's really like she's actually not acting. Yeah. Oh my god. And didn't she say that she got all ████ up from doing that movie? everyone did cuz that place is really haunted. Oh crap. It's like the the Stanley Hotel or something like that. It's like that. Colorado, Colorado, right? Did you feel any you have any stories? No, cuz I don't think I watched the movie. How many people need to die in a area for it to become haunted? scene in in um Yeah, I think it just takes one. That's that scene in Shining when the he thinks it's like a hot babe in the tub and then he looks at her in the mirror from behind and she's LIKE A CORPSE.
8:28 WHAT ABOUT THE TWO LITTLE GIRLS, THE TWINS? DUDE, oh my On a tricycles? That's burned into my memory, bro. When he's when he's cutting corners and ████ you're like You know you know what the what I realized my weakness is in scary movies and it's just very specific. Little children? Nah, it's this one they do it a lot in scary movies all the time, but the first time I saw it was either in House on Haunted Hill or The Haunting. I can't remember which one, but it's when you see this. Look it's a dark hallway and you just see someone staring at you from the other side like that. You gave me chills. I have hallways at my house. And then and then and then the person over there goes, "Hello?" And right when they say that it goes Dude, EVERY TIME THEY DO THAT a single tear. Yeah, yeah. My body doesn't feel good right now. fast forward walk? Oh god, where like you don't want it to come to you, but it's already going. So I got to train your footwork. You got to run. You got to you got to train your
9:19 sprints, you know? You just got just take off. Kick the screen down. At the AMC punch that ghost in the face. Do you have like an exit plan for something like crazy like that happen to you at home? Like do you know where you would go or what you Not if it's a spirit. Like a ████ spirit in the hallway. My wife has holy water somewhere in the house. Yeah, yeah. I would gladly have a home invader than a freaking spirit. This is why I try to keep a relationship with God. You start praying immediately. That's what you start doing. I'd I'd probably just start jacking it. I'm like, you come any closer, I'm going to shoot. I'm like, oh man, YOU'RE CRAZY. HEY, WHOA. FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE. NOW, I WAS GOING TO SAY, DID YOU EVER WATCH uh The Orphanage? Bro, The Orphanage. It's a Spanish movie. It's Spanish. It's Guillermo del Toro. Oh. I think we watched it.
10:09 That was super scary. That was It's louder. And there's ████ kids and ████ Yeah. Scary. Cuz it's an orphanage, it's haunted. I actually don't remember that movie that well. Children Children of the Corn really scared me when I was a kid. That reminds me of the thing in Signs where the alien walks past. We were watching Why was that so scary as a kid? That ████ looks silly now. But that was like iconic as Because it was the reveal. The reveal is what was scary. I don't watch these things. Kevin Costner? No. There's Yeah, there's a freaking There's a moment in Signs where there's like it's the screaming in the video. That's why I remember. They're like showing like a like some kind of a town and there's like an alley. And then you first you hear a bunch of kids screaming and then you see the image of the alien walk by. So creepy. Aw, dude. But it looks so funny today. It looks like a PC game from Me and my friends were like looking up scenes of that on YouTube and trying to
10:59 find like other angles and stuff. Yeah. Blair Witch scared the ████ out of me. Blair Witch, yeah. Cuz I was young enough to think it was real. Cuz it was like they found this footage. That was for sure me, too. Yeah. That's uh I saw that in the theater at Universal CityWalk. That's I told you the story before, but um I was at Universal CityWalk with my friend. We were watching Blair Witch. We were at the the balcony level. And then some guy was like talking really loudly cuz you know, Blair Witch is silent 90% of the movie. It's like nothing's happening. Some guy was talking too loud, and then a guy at the bottom was like, "Hey, shut up!" And then the guy at the top goes, "Why don't you come up here and make me?" And then you hear the guy down there go, "Ah." Perfect response. And then everyone in the theater started dying laughing.
11:53 It was so far. It's like so far. Like, he's like, "Ah." But I thought that was real. I thought that was real found footage. I really believed it. And I watched it like, imagine watching this thing from beginning to end thinking that this they really found this video. What? scary. That was the marketing. Like, they were trying to make it seem that way. Yeah, that's that's maximum enjoyment. You think it's real? I remember watching not all of it cuz my my family would watch it. They'd watch Psycho. And that gave me a complex about showering, 100%. I'm just stabbing you from behind the curtain. Yeah, dude. Like, that will always I'm always like checking outside. Same thing happened to me when I was watching one of the Freddy Krueger ones. Like, one of the Nightmare on Couldn't sleep, huh? I was watching with my dad, and I was a kid, and there's a scene in one of them where like some guy's taking a shower and his eyes are whatever. And then like
12:44 Freddy Krueger appears in front of him or something and like pokes his eyes. Yeah. And then just like go jabs his eyes out, and it's And then and then I looked at my dad, and he goes, "That's what would happen. There's a lot of blood vessels IN THE EYE." THAT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY REALISTIC. YEAH. YOU'RE LOOKING FOR COMFORT, and he's like, "Yep." So much blood in the shower in that scene. I was like, And he's like, "Yeah." That's the biggest ████ medical opinion. There's a lot of blood vessels. A lot of blood vessels in the eye, son. That's what happens. That's how it goes. That's how it goes. That's how it goes in the cookie crumbles, right? He He phased at all. He like he wasn't even scared. That's so funny. That disturbed me for Then that's how I got scared of the shower. Yeah. Cuz I'm like the second I close my eyes, I
13:34 always like shower with my eyes open. Cuz I'm like as soon as you close it, you know like how Freddy Krueger comes to you when you close your eyes or when you sleep? Yeah. Yeah. ████ yeah. That's how he gets you. So terrifying. I hate that scene where they're like taking a bubble bath and like the claws come out from the bubbles. Oh, yeah. It's an iconic shot. Iconic shot, but like I don't know how you even do that necessarily. Like how you get someone down. It's just on her knee. She's just like put the glove on her knee. Yeah. Do they If you're alone and a hand comes out in the bubble bath, I'd look around and I'd put it right here. It's got razors all over it. Even better. Do they make scary movies that have like the same impact as those old ones? I don't know. Probably not. They're probably running out of ideas. I even wonder if kids are like that scared of them nowadays. Like what do
14:24 you have to do to fool a kid to like what imagery? Do you have to be like expert CGI or Cuz they're so smart or they they're so used to all kinds of crazy content. Yeah, or maybe they're just so used to like graphics. You know like how we grew up on practical? Yeah. And then once graphics came to mix, it was like the uncanny valley would switch in your mind and you're like, is it real? Is it not? Can't tell the difference. you say this, I feel like horror hasn't been big recently, which makes me think that we're about to go back into it again. Why do you feel like all movies have been kind of just kind of s█████? Maybe cuz when real life gets scary, people don't like horror movies cuz it's like redundant. There's a niche though cuz um Hannah and her one of her closest friends, they were just working on horror productions. Like they found a niche doing special effects makeup for horror and wardrobe for horror. So they became like the
15:15 go-to for like these, you know, lower budget horror stuff. And often times when I watch horror, I'm too like I it's hard for me to get too sucked in cuz I'm thinking about the camera, the DP, someone's like doing action. You see the production, huh? Yeah, and then like someone's like being scary and I that image is too funny to me. But then like when it's really good, I'm in it, right? But then Hannah told me something recently that made me even more freaked out because a lot of the times these ████ will film at known haunted locations to really or abandoned places that look ████ up and all these things. And they would experience freaky ████ while they're filming. Mhm. So I was like a lot of the times and then you hear this too. Like remember how uh
16:05 when they filmed the uh the that that old-school one where the girl got The Exorcist. Oh. Yeah, there was like crazy ████ that happened on set. ████ happened to the cast like People died. No. Yeah. People died on set. There's like there's a lot of crazy stories that happened from the uh from the set of The Exorcist. And so when Hannah And a lot of movie a lot of horror movies like Amityville too, right? There's so many. There's like all these weird occurrences from like the crew and the cast. Cuz cuz so because they would seek out these type of locations like old castles, old whatever. And then so and then you're filming at like 3:00 in the morning sometimes cuz you just have to get the darks. The ghostly hours, yeah. Yeah. And then so she would experience that with her buddy. Like there'll be times where like they'll be on set. They'll be at this like third floor having to get something. There's no one in that hall and then like her friend would hear her
16:56 name and then they're like that person wasn't even there. And then people will start getting haunted. And then so like she said that there was one it was so bad where they had on set there was like a Muslim guy, a Christian guy, and like maybe like a Buddhist. And every morning they got together and they literally prayed simultaneously and were like we're going to cover all of our lives. Let's try. Let's try. And then they say, we're going to do this we're going to do this production, but please protect us. Where's the SDAs at though? Can't get no rep. It's crazy. But like if you look up like pictures from set from like Exorcist, sometimes you'll see like weird figures in the back and people like zoom It's actually pretty crazy. I don't believe them. Check it out. Pull it up. No, like people made seems like they staged it as like another like marketing layer on top. But it's good marketing.
17:46 how the world is like flat. Did any of you guys watch the original It? Yeah. Love John Ritter. ████ me up. Yeah, I love John Ritter, too. But he wasn't funny in It. No, I was like where Yeah, the old school one. Not the Ninja Turtle one. The ████ where the girl's at the sink and then a balloon starts coming out of the drain and then it pops and it's all blood. That was crazy. I don't watch Chucky as a kid. Chucky's going to shoot me. That ████ scared the ████ out of me. That scared me, too, cuz I had the real doll. I don't even remember. My mom would weaponize dolls in my house. It was based off the My Buddy doll. Oh, yeah, ████ that. And I had the real My Buddy doll. It's still at my place. Did y'all think it was ████ up that Rugrats had a kid named Chucky that looked like the Chucky doll? They knew what they were doing. No, he was cuter than that. They're trying to rebrand him. THEY RUINED RUGRATS for me. I didn't say that he was a killer. I hope not, anyways. You realize it's made from My Buddy? I didn't know that.
18:36 My Buddy. It's like a demonic parody of My Buddy. Yeah, exactly. You had one? Mhm, I still have it. If you walk in my parents' house, That's cool. the first thing on the right. I always tell my friends that we try to throw it out, it keeps coming back. Have you seen Chucky as My mom's just a hoarder. A what? Have you seen Chucky as an adult? No, is it good? I think you're like, yeah, cuz you realize like, okay, this is not even that bad at all and then on top of that, he's kind of funny. He's like, get over here, little ████ and he's like trying to stab you. He's just like hella crude and you're like, whoa, this is crazy. Bride of Chucky, where it's like the girl It's a girl one. No. So what is that one? What is the scary movie that's I can't even look at pictures of exorcist, dude. Right? Look at the the pictures on set. Those are scary. I am the everything scary that's coming up. I don't want to look at it. It's really scary. One of the scariest visuals I can think of is that one nun from the
19:27 The movie The Nun? The Nun from Sister Act 2? She's in like four of them. What's the series where Oh my god. That's your favorite image forever. You're doing this, by the way. YOU'RE DOING WHAT she's doing. No, I don't watch these. From the Conjuring. Conjuring. That That's probably the one of the more modern-day scary ones. That's Conjuring scary, bro. Honestly, for a while the movie Birds used to scare the ████ out of me. Birds? Why are you watching all these Hitchcock films? I tell you my parent my my sisters and my dad would watch all this ████ and I'd be like, "Oh my god, they're getting killed by birds." I was like, "That's another thing I have to worry about." I was freaking out. So I'd see like a flock of birds and I'd be like, "Ah, ████ that." what's a great Hitchcock film that is scary but doesn't explicitly tell you anything or show you anything is Rear Window. Is that the glass he's in the the the one with the broken He broke his leg so he can only sit by
20:17 his window. So all he does is watch his apartment courtyard and just look at and he thinks he sees this whole like narrative. But you don't know if he's just making it up cuz he's paranoid. But then it actually turns out that it really was Really good. Yeah, it's ████ up. He like I guess there was like a murder that happened and they tried to bury part of the body in the garden and then the guy was taking the body parts away in pieces in suitcases to like dispose of it. And nobody knows anything but because he just sits in that one spot, he's noticing the whole thing go down over a period of like several days. And then eventually the guy sees that he's looking at him and it gets ████ he can't go nowhere cuz he's like stuck in his chair. So good. It's like uh the they did a remake with it with Shia LaBeouf. They did? Yeah, they did like a spin-off. And he's like a suburban kid. Holes.
21:07 No, I forgot what it's called. It's called paranoia or something, but it was it was good because it was like a It's like a teen version and they did it like the 2000s. It was really good. Oh, wow. Go watch it. Go watch it, okay.
