live. Hey everyone and welcome to the N so yes it could be quite interesting. You never know. So yes, so this week's episode, I've got a little bit of an open and forward as well so I thought it'd be quite interesting to see it because it's gonna be an interesting thing, it's gonna be off the wall, it's gonna be off the wall, it makes it anything and everything.
So for tonight's podcast, I submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society, I call this episode things that scared you as a kid. So yes, so if I'm just gonna fire it would be quite interesting to do that that way. I'll have to drop your cameras to see everyone now. Excellent, well what I'll do is I'll get the display.
We are professional. We are nothing but professional. I'll get the display rather with the first because we've got a lot to talk about and we do want to go through some things from this week's Sunday of a Comic-Con announcements. So everything that's listed tonight's episode is our opinions and our opinions alone.
If you want to discuss any topic from tonight's episode, please come and join us on the Facebook group and we can have an open discussion. We won't have anyone coming for us and tell us our opinions are wrong or we can agree to disagree and abandon so let's get a fun kind and keep the toxic behaviour out of nerdism. Well said well said and see I can say no panics, come before us over, we'll still go. Just crack on.
So yes, before we get started in fact the shit that scared us as kids because we brought up in the eighties while Charlotte was a little bit younger than us so we grew up in the scariest avi as well. Sorry there were a little bit more freaky stuff around in MDS. I just didn't give a shit really and the night user likes maybe we should team it a little bit. Definitely but yes it's been a very special weekend and I've been so pissed off that I wasn't there because it's been dreamed to be there and some of the announcements have been quite interesting and quite bigger than I was expecting shall we see.
So what was being your highlight of the weekend so far then Sam? Oh my gosh the Black Panther trailer for sure like I was so emotional when I watched it and then when I put it on the Facebook group people were pointing stuff out it was I think I got him which to go back and watch again and then I started crying again and being honest with the name of Officer Mariner. That's a massive thing from the show as well. I thought it would have left it either like the week before us but this is the first trailer we've had from Black Panther and we're getting this up on straight away so fuck yeah that was impressive.
It was amazing. We didn't know where Black Panther was going obviously after the really bad loss of a tragic postman but I think I always knew that Ranko was going to handle this with care and I feel like what we saw was care, love, respect. There was a lot of loss. And the last of the screen at the end man.
Yeah I think she's going to be key to the film as well I think. Absolutely. And who's mother losing her son? DeCairne Warren and Landness possibly?
Yeah I totally see that happening and the fact that Reary Williams is going to be in this and this is how we're going to get the people are going to get to know because I always said that Shuri and Reary would be the best of friends and when they met each other in the lab I was like it's amazing. So yes I'm so excited about it Black Panther. The launch line announcements that they're doing a full section on Sam from Trick or Treat. Alan that was amazing.
The bikes look absolutely fantastic. I'm not the biggest walking dead fan anymore but I invested a lot of a lot of years in that program so I'm Rick and Michonne's sure the bloody hell is going to be Rick and Michonne. Daryl and Carol Jesus Christ. Carol's not on the back right she left.
She left this enough. It's just Daryl. Yeah that was an awesome one. Okay well that's so much alpha route.
I've been able to loop with the walking dead. I'm going to watch that season but I'm going to have to watch the rest of them. Yeah I think they put the pins as well to that but we're not getting the Rick movies that we will promise as well so I think kiss them goodbye. What about you Charlotte?
I know you're dying to mention one thing that you've got excited about. Maybe explore the question. Sam Van. It just looks stunning.
Like even with a few carotachian just made it look brilliant. He looked like he just walked out of the sea. Like he looked like he just walked off the beach. Yeah I watched the game and watched the trailer and he says like he even met thousands upon thousands of more fuses but he just he was always when he looked at him just went that's him.
He does he just looks like he's walked off the road. I can't believe it's only a few weeks away as well. That was the surprise. I was like wow this is happening very soon and it looks amazing as well.
Yeah we've got a lot of fantasy TV short to look forward to. We've got Sandman got a lot of the rings and we've got a lot of rings. Have some dragons as well. So a lot of fantasy.
It's going to be brilliant. Now come with us. Just get them in point as well. The thing that we're all here for that was announced in Comic Con.
Fucking Daredevil. He's going to be in literally everything. He's in field. Like see if the Spiderman card in he's going to be in as well.
What's it called? I've got what's called. Class. Someone else.
Freshman. Freshman. Freshman. Yeah.
Freshman. Yeah. I've announced the second season already. It's going to be a sophomore year or something like that.
And like say he's going to be announced he was in Ego and he's getting which I think is excessive. I'll be honest. Eight episodes in a day in a Marvel TV short. I've told there's not a lot of filler episodes in like saying but if we get like the defenders and stuff like that in there.
How long have been in the net? How long have been in the net? That's all. About 12 episodes.
About 12 episodes I think. I don't think there was as long as that. Could be wrong. But to be fair with the net figure there was a lot of filler episodes and things that we haven't had with Marvel for a while.
So I'm getting Charlie Cox and I can say the guy who plays in a funny's name. I went to the Offreel. I did see a room out there on how much truth there is to it. I did see a room in the eyes.
Eyes out. I think I've seen that right. Bandsales is being cast as a lecturer. She was in baby driver.
Have anybody seen that? I have not. No. I thought it was the same electro we were getting but clearly not.
So I don't know how much truth there is to it. Can we just appreciate it for a moment? How fucking amazing that she hooked trailer looks. Much better than the first one.
Oh my god. I did. I love she hooked and I remember picking up a series in 2015 and it got cancelled halfway through and it never got finished and people were not brought. It was something to do with the writer.
It was absolutely sure but the book was brilliant. It gives me all the feels of that book. The fact that the start in the law firm held superhero people and then fucking dead evil. Then because he and if they do go into the comics, Scott from Ant-Man, I can't think of his name right now.
I think of his name. Scott. Thank you. He's a big help as well.
Did she just look amazing? If the room is a true Jessica Jones? Please see the recast. No, no.
I'm really glad. I'm jumping for that one because I'm not a big fan of that. I do need to mention for Goodwill our resident. He's got notes about it.
Pick the Star Trek news. We got our first look at the cards season three and everybody's coming back. We also got the news that's Strangely World's Androadak. The next is Crossenor which is going to be interesting.
A lot of weeks and a lot of weeks. I'm not careful. I'm not aware of that one. I think it's a good time to be a nerd especially.
The only thing I think was a letdown was they dropped the ball I think this time. It gives us a little bit of fun. Nothing new with Black Adam and no announcements. There was no Black girl footage, no Michael Keaton footage.
Of course, not going to show the flash because of Isra Millio Fucking up. I think it was a trend likely to be honest. It was another big massive year for Marvel. Jim's gun did his panel with the Guardians of Galaxy.
He produced a well-porter as Adam Wallach. That was huge. He did show footage but he said it wasn't great. They did.
I can't remember who it is. I think it's the guy that the film I'm guessing Guardians. Sorry. It was interesting.
Yeah. No, that was it. I think the film I'm getting with Guardians 3, it's going to be Rocket Story. It's all about the creation of Rocket.
I think that's going to be an interesting thing. You want to learn all about that? Yes. It's a very, very amazing time to be a nerd.
Do you not think that this was needed for Marvel as well given how uncertain we've been about Fears 4 and where it's going now that we know that we are in the multiverse saga. Does it not make things seem a little bit better? True. I still think for Love and Thunder with a weird spot.
We're going to be disagreeing. I haven't been massively excited by Fears 4. I haven't really enjoyed a couple of films. I don't know how excited I am for Fears 5.
I'm more excited for Fears 6 because I think I'm going to lead into Fantastic Four being in X-Men, which I'm never excited about. So I think the next two, to me, 4 and 5 just feel a bit like Filler. Yeah. I get where you're coming from.
There's been a few. There's been a few. You haven't watched the end of Miss Marvel yet. Yes, I have.
No, Tala hasn't. You haven't challenged. No, I don't have to. Do what he is.
I do know what happens. I did get it spelled first. I do know what happens. But again, I don't know whether we're going to get to see that just yet.
I think that's going to be teased and teased. I think Fears 5, that's going to be the ones that are filled out. There was a lot of spaces for Fears 6. And let's be honest, if they're going to do SEGA Wars when they did the X-Men, they can't do SEGA Wars without the X-Men.
So one of them spots are going to be filled up with, I think the rumors is it's going to be the mutants. We've only got three, we've only got three, no, no. It's just not as full of edges as it was and it's all, but we could get the X-Men 87. Yes.
Season 2 has already been announced. So again with us just now, we'll move on to the reason why we are here tonight to try and scare the shit out with each other and see if we can bring back some old memories. So I know I've already started off with a little hint of are you afraid of the dark which came out in the 1990s and was like they were pretty much a horror movie for like teenage and kids that were age when I first came in I don't know about you is that we use a fan of are you afraid the dark or did it pass you by or we use a goosebumps fan? I never watched either of them.
I never watched either of them and Michaela might all but these were definitely not at my time like I didn't pass me by. It was the point I didn't yeah. You get it a lot. We should be used for by now.
The stories and stuff were quite on the edge like say it was like as I said kids books are kids stories and stuff but it was taken to the point where it was scary and especially like I watched the back not too long because I know they really made it for Nickelodeon they've done two I think three seasons of it now. It's just different kids that have different stories. I just love the whole idea of like kids making up from different walks of life and just like to find each other like different stories and seeing if you can have friendships that grew that way and it was just like say a nice fail and how it was passed down and stuff but that was always like my big thing as a kid I used to when this was on Nickelodeon I used to watch it all the time and I think Nickelodeon was at the time was quite like on the edge and like different type of programs as well not the standard ones that we were used to. Yeah and I didn't have Nickelodeon as a kid so maybe that me but that's why it did like completely passed us by and I was never in the freaking house so I didn't watch a lot of telly but mine was as a kid I was obsessed with Twilight Zone.
I used to watch my grandparents when I used to stay over and I absolutely loved it but I was thinking to do what used to scare us as a kid and everything I was coming up with didn't scare us if it intrigued us like horror just intrigued us. Spooky stuff just intrigued us if I saw anything from crimes into just intrigued us like I was just totally taken it along with it but now I'm having a lot of these pictures on this thing I'm starting to see things that really pop and scare us. Well are you a fan of, are you afraid the doctor was it not in your time either? Um it kind of passed me by but I don't think we had to, Nickelodeon when I was a kid but um I remember the group of films was book.
Are you afraid of the dark kind of felons that that sort of group where there was there was there was there was scary stories to tell the dark? That was a book I think wasn't it yeah yeah it fell into that sort of little like scary yeah like scary stories for kids and I think I was more the people who found because I could read them and especially no one choose you on adventure with films. So it was like a different story each time so. Oh that's awesome.
Definitely. So that was my first one that I thought like it would be quite an interesting one. There was a lot of different other like kids type things around that time that used to freak figures out like I used to have an irrational fear of rock bags as well. Every time rock bags used to go on the TV I would scream for it returned off.
As you get older as well I think that fear still stands like see you still get a little bit of a shiver whenever you see and I think like TV shows of that time like not just on Nickelodeon on Sky but like BBC used to push the boundaries and like say ITV as well. Yeah then all rock bags was with like Rodney New and stuff and Amy was just like the force of nature. That was just actually seems to think it was ridiculous. Robaxle not to be disrespectful to any of my family members.
She really has a striking resemblance to one of them and she was my core sister so I was never terrified of that. So because we found out Sam wasn't scared of much as I can't dance. But the thing is I can't believe one. I might find that I was I'm just an adult it's hard to remember what I was that scared of.
I have a very very in-depth figure of birds but that's just like I'm fucking terrified. It's the wings it's the wings. I got to don't like wings. But when it comes down to actually like watching something that I was scared of like I wasn't Michaela who couldn't watch the beginning of Ghostbusters or freaked out at the end of cycle I can't remember doing that.
I really can't. Well you Charlotte so what was the main things I kind of like jumped out at you and I stayed with you typing? The wheelies from Retent was. No there's a scary film.
That film is night methual. Definitely not a finish. It's not a comfortable watch type thing. It's terrifying.
I think it gets scary all the day you get. I think you understand a bit more as well. What was the name you changed your heads? Oh my god I just loved her.
I wanted that. I wanted that room so much. That way she had all the different heads. So where's the other person?
I'm scared of the person. I'm like I don't feel your head. That's a kind of look. I fancy changing my head from time to time.
Exactly. No that you're honestly I wanted that room so badly. If you like think it all playing games like oh I want to be charity I want to be that bitch who changes heads like that's that's like I go to. Wow I learned a lot about Sammy so everyone thought I was a psychopath in this one.
We'll try and know Sammy's a bit of a nut to guess. So it's okay. That's a good shout though. Return to OBS.
If you think about Wizard of Oz it's such a colorful and like say the star elements to the Wizard of Oz but it's quite joyful. The songs is happy times but Return to Oz. It's just dark. All dark.
Even from the beginning when I gave Dorothy electroshock therapy because the sticks is like imagining everything. A friend helps her escape and then the end of the back knows. The weather and the way the get back does is so much more brutal and terrifying than when Dorothy's house got took up by the tornado for some reason but when the get out I was just turning this bleak dark almost like it was from the 80s. I did feel that Tim Burton got a lot of inspiration for his vision about the same sort of the same kind of feel to it.
The mechanics of it. The colors the centimeters it's a lot like I'm looking at one of the wheelies and I'm not matching well now but I've been looking at one of the movies and they do have a reminiscence of about Nesk Alice in Wonderland like it's really often. And then it's all to get my main by that. But then the whole norm came at King as well like the whole premise behind him how these rocks move and I always found it was really good quite frightening when Dorothy was in the room and she had to touch things and see it like and to try and get friends back and try and relate them.
It's it didn't that we're going to turn the store on our turn to like one of these objects and that was like say the trick and how lovable and nice TikTok was as well and how he was like prepared the sacrifice from but it was this like when I came out I was like watching this I was like why is why you mean is watch the scary film this is not Wizard of Oz this is not like this is a huge fan of Wizard of Oz as well like this is like where's the tin man where's the scarecrow stuff but I know the reason why is because when the me and the Wizard of Oz and we're very clever the people who like won the rights of the Wizard of Oz so the I got the rights for certain things like Ruby Sudders so no other production of Wizard of Oz can use the Ruby Sudders that's why in Wicked they can't use Ruby Sudders as well. It's only in that movie it's like and then the looks of the tin man looks of the scarecrow and the curry line and everything had a change because of all the different rights well so we found the couldn't do the tin man again because the pro-glot was the boss got the lead poison because of the pits so yeah yeah she was painting her art mind too but yeah definitely I'm good also to find out that the munching old be orgies scared him in the Wizard of Oz but that wasn't in this one there was no orgies in return or just a clarify that was in the first place. Did you guys even say? But if you talk about all the sights Sorry he was probably the instigator in most of the pictures of that.
Oh that was so quick Yes and what if you think about other films like Right About The Time that came out of them that were equally probably not as scary but had like the elements like labyrinth for example that was a matter of time like the one where she's falling and the hands are grabbing her and like oh the horrible that's like said that made you feel uncomfortable and nervous for all different reasons yeah but and and the things where they're coming the call now I got a little blabbering back and now remember them where their heads come off. Oh yeah I know what you mean. When it's fine and they're trying to pull the set off as well as I'm calling it don't either. Now let's across the labyrinth and the Wizard of Oz I would mind.
That'd be fun. I was never scared by them because I knew one of them was Danny John Jules and I was like I'm not scared of the cat. Tell you what we did you should freak us out about labyrinth. The bog?
The bog of the attention. Yeah because I'm not a fan of it as a kid I hear it getting dirty. Right. For all that was a proper little tomboy on me being a mix and that I've generally didn't like getting me hands dirty so I was like that just like that I don't like the bog.
I would hate to be around that. I thought it was expelled. Ludo sir. I think there's so many different good ones but um just kind of thing.
The dark crystal is very very scary. I still don't understand what dark crystal was about because I can't watch it. I just remember like pixies being terrified. Yeah I physically can't watch dark crystal.
I know I've seen it and yeah there you go sketchies I scared the shit out of us. They are horrible and they keep popping up on that picture and all and they are they're not made of you all. But it was so well done though dark crystal even though I don't know what much was going on but I'd say the puppeteer and everything was amazing and all the brought out recently as a remake or so. It did like it.
It's not a remake but like a show. Yeah and you know what it's a beautiful look and profile and beautiful film and beautiful program. For me there shouldn't be anything I don't not like about it but I cannot physically bring myself to watch it. Even now with like nearly 40 year old I still have that like uncomfortable feeling like I remember of them for construction.
I remember like they were watching it for the first time. I was on a because when we were young we were able to afford a flight of France. We just got the bus so we got the bus down the Kali and got the ferry over then got went to where we stayed. That was like our first holly on the bus.
The video came out the front like Tiny Tv on the plate of dark crystal. I remember just like because I got travel sick as well so I was hallucinating from traveling travel sickness and watching dark crystal was like the one of the most trippiest and scariest experiences I've ever seen. You might as well just get the middle man out and just do something. It might have been more than it might have been better experience.
That sounds not terrifying. I've never been at watch dark crystal like properly since that because it just brings back my memories of just being freaked out and just being terrified of like everything that was involved with that. But like I think the ultimate one though of this of around about that time with all these movies that was coming out the never end in the story. There wasn't one element of that film that he went back that didn't scare you and the assumption is that she wasn't scared of the never end in the story.
No I will not watch it. I have no I've seen it. I know I have but thankfully the memory doesn't go that far that because I don't ever want to watch it. I really don't.
It looks like it was it was emotionally break me and I don't want that. It's just darkness about everything. It's like I think you talked about before though Charlotte when you told us you said what the metaphor was. It was basically I thought it was a metaphor of death and it was like saying.
They're nothing. Yes. Yeah so it's in my head anyway it's like kids growing up and using their imagination and not believing in the stories and in the fantasy world anymore. Yeah so I like that that was a bit of tape than what I thought was this death coming to kill us all.
But that wolf as well like see only at the end where a tree was coming out and moving towards and I can still see it now and I said I have to have the cushion over me face as well like to be scared of it and try not to say but even like the little things that used to freak us out like the rocks the end of the friendly it was eating the lion's door and the way you have rocks scared us the way it was like crunching and like the rocks getting bored is getting falling down. I want to hit the poise nail so it upstairs. I will talk with the same that will break some. No this is why I don't like stuff like this.
This is why I don't this is why I don't like this is my land before time terrifies is because it emotionally breaks us and but I think that's a talk for another podcast and I don't think that's we don't want to go down the route of what movie rock salmon's a kid because that was one of them. The the trail catch up and trick it just bam bam still to this day terrifies me. His voice the way he moves is he's knew everything just not not not but it was it was genius has been getting a valid answer to play him because it just adds up something extra because the way he like leaps about moves is it's so off button. I'm never saying it.
It doesn't surprise us but it is one of the previous films again it's got different tones because to eat a bang bang is a really like bright vibrant and like a fun movie until the child catch it comes in. It's about a car isn't it? Yeah a car off come fly. So why is there a kid there a guy coming in trying to nick the kids?
There's a car takes into this land where kids are not allowed. Oh so he just feels them. So he's flirting out with that now. Comes with these little ollie pops and he's a little man.
And he's really scared. When we were kids and he used to tell us not to go near a forest. Red forest. Yeah that's what we were scared of in skates.
Red forest. Two of us. Two of us. Yeah.
Oh my gosh. It was always a kid in the school that being taken by a red forest and every school that has the land. And it was the fuck with the sales of the cars I'll tell you that. It started getting blue ones.
It does need some police gates for you. Again I'm gonna do it because Sam's gonna tell us off as well so we're gonna talk about 80 songs that scared us to go and he's like said the fatality family was actually freaky as well. When chunks kind of pull like we have down the cars and the car pulls up and you see them telling them all about like say that they're this mean horrible family that have ruthless killers and you see the like one and you see a team and then he starts singing in Italian and again it's scared of shit out of us as a kid and it's still so scared of us now. So that's me doing his reference out there.
I got it early there so it can be happy. I don't think anyone was expecting that to come up because of the topic but well done. Well done. Getting that in there.
Of a fuck's sake. You know what the worst thing is I can hear him saying it. That's so funny. Every podcast guys.
I know that we said we weren't gonna like talk about horror because you know there's a lot you there's a lot you can be scared of as a kid in horror but I brought this before the first thing that ever scared me like physically to the point where I couldn't have sleep in me on bed was over a fucking horror film and I'll never ever forget her. The doll's one. The doll fucking doll man. I'll never forget that bitch.
She haunted my dreams for absolute for years and I had to sleep with me mum's bitch. I'm not ashamed of her. I know we all watched like certain things when we were younger that we probably shouldn't have watched like certain horror films and stuff but I know we're trying to think outside the box and go. Yeah don't like it because it's an easy one that one.
It really is an easy one even though. But there was one I wanted to talk about. I know we talked about it briefly on previous podcasts. It's not a horror film.
It was a TV show. It was only ever aired once in the UK. It literally is not what it's all about because literally I still can wake up at times having nightmares from it because the feeling of it I've watched it again since. It's not scary in the slightest now but watching ghosts watch for the first time and watching that live and this was before we had shows like Morse Tonded or anything that was short.
The word mockumentary wasn't even a thing but then this was like before it's time and having like repital like people like Michael Parkinson. Sarah Greeno. Sarah Green. What's now?
Thinking from Richard Charles that was trying to get his name out and the way this was portrayed I still like see dead shivers because as a kid you've all got like things that you do when you're scared and you don't see if you're blanketing things like you like to keep and try and protect yourself. One of the things I've always lived with is one of the girls who said all pipes comes and gets us when we're under our covers in our bed and that's why I used to do it when I get scared as a kid. I used to hide them in the doobear and put it over my head and think I'm safe now. Nothing can get us.
It was like my little like safety blanket or not safety blanket. It was like a force field, force field fighting. Like nothing could it contain and soon as you said the ghost of pipes gets them when the covers and attacks the most that fucked me up. I was like of course you get your name.
Oh yeah. You are fucked being. I am devastated that I never got to experience that because my parents took me to go and see beauty in the beast that night. So I never got to experience it.
I've never actually watched it. I've seen clips of it. It's not you know you watch any list of reality shows and things that spooked you. It comes up there because it was a big one like the amount of complaints I got put in against it.
Oh yeah my parents took me to see beauty in the beast. Got it. Have you seen a child? Have you experienced a horse watch?
No I've seen clips of it and stuff like that but I think I was probably a bit on the young side when that came out. My mum. It was quite early wasn't it? It was quite early.
You wanted to. You wanted to. Yeah so I was like. You have a killer like really cause an age so that's probably why we might as if you were in the beast.
It was to not scare the killer. I remember being really quick out by follow from one track of Notre Dame. And I couldn't tell you at the time I couldn't tell you why. It was just kind of a bit off button.
Obviously now I know that he's you know. I did Aaron. Yeah. He resisted not really a nice guy.
I'm very problematic. He has a bang and song in that film. But yeah. Thank you.
That's a take from it. Will you? I remember being quick about him but I didn't know why. Now obviously he was bad.
I guess that's just didn't do any good job with the villain. If he has sort of scared of someone you don't know why. Cool. It's a good show but before we do move on to Disney's as well because I think that'll be a good show.
One thing I did want to mention about the course watch I think it is actually on YouTube as well. So you can find it. So I would recommend watching it just for the hilarity and watch because there's little bit in it as well where the ghosts hidden in the back of the scene and behind so you can stop the ghost in like mirrors and reflections. So I might be wrong but I'm sure I saw something about going back on I player because of its anniversary or something.
Really? Oh that's a big one. I might be wrong but I'm sure I saw something about it. We should try and organize a watch party for it.
It would be so cool. Well yes. Because Charlotte did mention like say the big scariest. I used to terrify most of us as kids.
The big day Disney. Take your mind out the gun of salmon. We're not there yet. So yes.
What Disney film was the scariest of them all? Fucking Pinocchio. Yes. Fucking Pinocchio.
I mean come on. You watched a little boy who by the way actually deserved it but you watched a little boy get transformed into a donkey and I don't want to say that in the live action. I don't. It was brutal as well.
It was horrible to watch. It was like all these different like young boys and all the naughty boys. Tell you what it didn't mean. You want to drink and smoke?
I was telling you. I was like a jockey. I did a job well there but yeah Pinocchio was one of them. The other for me.
Dumbo the pink elephant. Oh god no I never got scared by the pink elephant. It's just dumb but emotionally broke as a person. Not much again.
Just I would say the pink elephant is like kind of like her. The Lucy N to the elephant's and the elephant's on for instance. And for Raised. I love that.
I'd say because I love Fantasia as well. And I always thought that they reminded us so much of the hippos. I don't know why they're pink elephants and the hippos kind of remind me. I love the hippos in Fantasia.
So they didn't use the freakers out. They just emotionally broke as a person. Even much in the live action. When I said to Carolyn I was like never again.
Never happening. I never watched again. I was in hysterics. So what about you Charlotte?
Any other Disney throwback? Not emotionally broke. You should obviously say that scared you. And the evil Queen's transformation in some like very well.
That was terrifying. It was brilliant. But it was terrifying. Definitely.
Yeah, that was. So before it was time as well. Yeah. And the end of the Lion King when you just see the shadows of the hyenas.
Like you're talking to all. Because you know what's happening? And you're like oh. I think that was quite creepy.
Yeah, I think a lot of things that was like what you don't see kind of scares you even more. That was with a lot of modern the microphones as well. Don't show us too much. Just show us enough.
But yeah, it's really mind-clares things. I can say the Lion King is a very scary for anyone. They go out the elephant graveyard as well. And here the noises and stuff.
You can't help but get a kind of chill type thing there. Oh definitely. Sorry. Michaela's just texting.
She's coming to see. We're kind of forever with this. Oh, I'll jump on that bandwagon. I'm trying to think of any of the Disney ones.
Because I Disney have the quite good of being like subtle with their scaring as aren't they. Like well sugar coated in bright colors. But Jesus, this is going to scare the shit out of you. I was telling someone alone.
This is kind of creepy. The Red Queen off with your head. And she's chasing like you actually think Alice is one of those ahead at one point. So I can't imagine.
I mean he's jealous of the elephant. I don't know. He's scared. No, but it didn't.
There's nothing about Alice in Wonderland that scared us. Even when I realized that the waters in the carpenter was one of the most horrifying things in the world. It still didn't scare us. It didn't.
That was brutal. I was awful. I think that like I watched it back now. I was like, how did I think that that was okay?
But yeah, I didn't get scared by that. Just again intrigued. I just didn't get intrigued by things that's meant to be scary. And is there any like, seeing wilders looking at us like, and it's really uncomfortable at times.
Did that generally scare you really well? I had a fast forward. That part when I had it on a tape off Telly on the, like I said, all VHS. I had actually fast forward that board scene.
It was genuinely one of the scariest things I've seen as a kid. Right. So I tried to pause it to see actually what was on the walls because I just wanted to know more. You are bizarre.
I really am. I don't get it wrong. I'm terrifying. And his face is absolutely terrifying.
And in the words, he's actually seen more scary than the actual visuals around. But yeah, I wanted to see what was going on on the walls. I was really interested to know. I just needed that bit of your over as well.
Because as you said, it's one of them films where it is dark tones, but you don't really realize it as a kid. You appreciate more as an adult now. But when you see that scene, literally as soon as you see that board coming up, I'll start backing off on the TV. It's like, oh shit, it's going to happen.
Because you hear all the noise. It's like sensory overload. Like there's so much going on. Like you don't know where to listen to.
But you don't matter what you listen to or why you look, it's going to make you uncomfortable. Yeah. But if you're under all dull, the witches. Fuck yeah.
The scariest of all, it was in my top five scary films. Yeah, she was. Because literally I'm scared of that film to the whole practical effects. I know the remade of which they shouldn't have, because the practical effects have gone so well.
And I'm telling you, Houston is stunning but terrifying as well. Like the way she looked at the grand high witch. Like I love the book as well. But that was absolutely unreal.
Like I still like watching because it does scare us. Yeah. I didn't know if I wanted to be a witch or if I wanted to be transformed into a mouse. The honor would end up as a witch to be fair.
I was so intrigued by how they, what would you do as a mouse? Like how differently life would be? Anyway, you wanted to, like I got me interested. But there was a couple of, do you know what freaks out was more of the makeup?
Of the witches. Like anything else? Just the, she, the detail on their faces, like it freaked, like that made us feel uncomfortable. I didn't even have them.
But I think again, the scariest element of that isn't anything. Well, it's so subtly done. Is the painting. Like when you think about that, like being trapped in a painting where you're family who are always round you and have a naughty show.
And you live your life till basically you die. Yeah. And you just disappear. It's a disappear bit.
Oh, yeah. That's like, you know, you're not saying the way that she does. She actually has died, but she's disappeared. Just like, oh, no.
Never go. I'd say I would go about and watch the witches again. Like say that. I'd say we're all dead a lot with, like, even these books.
Kind of scared you as well. Like say, James and the giant peach. Like say the two, and these and stuff. Like, they're not even watching the film, but reading the book.
It's scary. George is magical medicine as well. So many different elements that are quite scary when we're making that open, trying to poison. But to be fair, I think George as much as medical medicine, all I hear is written in his voice in the background.
Oh, that's lovely that. I'm not really a bit like like Rodol. I just wasn't like, and we did have his books in the house. I think every kid has Rodol books in the house.
It just wasn't like a huge, huge, huge, huge fan. Part of the big FJ. Absolutely. That's quite FJ.
Yeah. That's quite the film was quite creepy. The animated one, the original one, David Jason one. I love it.
Yeah. It's brilliant. What the other giants were. Yeah, they were very scary.
It was so scary. But I wanted all the jars with all the, I wanted all them jars. But even like, so the elements of the jars were quite spooky because when they got like a nightmare, like what was dark, it was quite sinister and stuff. It was, it don't have anything.
It's kind of a catch, it took him to wait because he didn't want any kids to have nightmares and stuff. But yeah, the BFG was terrifying at times as well. And if we're going to go like stay with the author side of things as well, the language and the wardrobe. I didn't know how to like bring that into it because I did want to talk about that because the Queen keeps looking at us.
It's one of my all time favorite books. It's the books that got read to me and me sister as a kid like constantly. Michaela still has the original copy of me, my mamma was and you can see marks where I think there's a bean. Like she's been holding like the prince come off it's tatted to pieces.
I'm so pleased with Kayla kept it. But that's sure that they did on the BBC. Oh my god, did I want to be the evil queen so badly? I like Turkish July because she used to have Turkish like honestly like I love that.
So what we learned from today's podcast is Sam wants to be every single villain that's out there. Do you want to put me back about it? What do you think it is? If Karala and the Nami sister came on here, I am the biggest scaredy cat born.
I really am. We've done terror in the trees a couple of times and I am the biggest soft shite born. I get scared of everything but as a kid like I just wanted to be these people. I think like to say the BBC was better than the new movies.
I enjoyed that but the movies were good but they were too polished. Yeah. There was two versions like the cartoon version was absolutely scary as fuck. The cartoon was really scary.
But the only thing I used to play is that the ice queen used to scare me but the one I scared me the most was how crazy he was. But as I said, probably the same reason that she was like creeped out about punchback and Notre Dame. I was probably creeped out about him but I didn't realise why. It was kind of like that whole sinister aspect of it.
Again, it still kind of puts the shiver up your spine when you think about it. And I know he tried out he wasn't a bad guy but in that first few episodes of the TV show, it wasn't a nice feeling when you watched it. TV show was just unsawbray brilliantly. That's Narnia.
Not this new film that you see. I couldn't bring myself to watch them. They just looked too bright. Didn't like it.
What about you, Shelley? Yeah. Yeah. What's the same?
Are you a fan of Narnia? Oh, I love them. Actually, my favorite Narnia was the first one. I love the magician's nephew.
That the idea of it of the magician's nephew. Terrified is but I think it's the one I've read the most. I think it's the one I've heard the most. So I've got to tell you why the front covers come up and everything.
And just the idea of being transported to a world that doesn't exist yet. Yeah. Yeah. It's just, Yeah.
Fantastic. It'll cause a little bit scary at the same time. Yeah. Terrifying but it's exciting at the same time because I I suppose it's the fear of the unknown.
You don't know what the hell you don't know what's, you know, so yeah, the first Narnia book was my favorite. And I think it was my favorite and it's a beautiful part. Yeah. But BBC Kid shows the one I remember most of the world was the demon headmaster.
I think we were a bit too old for that one. I remember it. He was the, I can't remember the guy that played him, but he was so sinister. He was so scary.
It was, yeah, the demon headmaster. I think if anybody, if anybody's in the chat that remember it. No, no, I remember it. Yeah.
I remember it. I feel like I know the demon just couldn't. Yeah. I think we brought the watch.
But he, it was his eyes, because obviously he's eyes was hypnotized. He said, how to make big deal out of it. It was his eyes. That's probably where anything was eyes comes from.
Because I get, there's an eye scene in horror films or anything. I can't watch it. I just, as soon as like anything goes in the atal at now. I don't mind Steve.
Mind Steve, I can't do teeth. I should like, I should like, I should like, I should like, I should like, I should like, I should like, I should like, I should like, we have no, I said with the babys a ones because there was a lot of the ones I think. And was it the five things, five kids in it, just when it that I kind of like, say five children and five children. It that that was a little bit like here where you could go and wish and get you, all your wishes wouldn't quite come out as the way it was.
But the little creature in the sand it was, was quite, not to say sinister, just like, you look in, like, I think you just look like you've been melted. It was like type of puppeteering things, but like around about the same time, we'll have things like, Rosie and Jim, which creeped me the fuck out. And the riddlers. Oh, yeah.
The riddlers, they used to live in a well and it was like, just come out and just say random. It's the end of a well. Or like for, yeah, like, so that type of shows, they used to come out where they used to use the puppeteer as a lot more. Like, say, I've heard about the puppets, I know, Donald B.
Friggin, I don't mention them all but I was never good at about them all but I know, Donald B. Friggin, I know I was never good at about them all but I know Donald B. I think the Friggin rock was a little bit intense at times, but that was about it. Had the best song though, the best song.
That songs on my house, my playlist. And, yes. Are you going to sing it for a second? I did, I love Friggin rock.
And the riddit, it's because they're underground, so it is like, it is a bit like off-putting without like the mop and sweat, the mop and sweat are allowed to be on, you know, on the surface, the Friggin rock. Probably by gravitated motion blocks. I just remembered as well one of the big Disney ones, I scared the life, I can't remember, I can't believe I didn't even think about straight away. Coella de Vil.
Coella de Vil. How fucking scary. She wanted her skin, pop these for God's sake. Didn't look at that, I just went, wow, that coat is amazing.
As it is an adult, she wanted her skin, pop these two, she probably skinned up, probably the makeback coat. Yeah, the scene measures driving the car on, like she's just all friendly to them. Yeah, especially if you're scared of eyes, because she had a fucking craziest eyes at going. She definitely had crazy eyes.
Mm-hmm. And, quite a bit of the tightness, the mid-user. Oh my God, yes. The eyes, we've mentioned it before, but yeah, if I go on eyes, that was just, that was red eyes that you see, and then the shadow of eyes.
The stop motion was done so well back then. I was terrified of the skeletons as well. And I think that was, I have the tiger's simb that probably used the same type of effects with the dogs. But I didn't watch that as a kid.
I was a bit old. No, I watched that as an adult. This is what I was saying. I was like, what scared you as a kid?
And he was like, oh, it definitely eats. I said, oh, I can't use that one. I didn't watch it until I was adult. I didn't finish it until I was adult.
I was an adult. Good point, good point. And then there's a point in the part two rules, yes. Yes.
But I'm probably thinking, sorry. I was going to say, I think practical effects are scary, like the puppets. And because I remember being terrified of legend with Tom Cruise because of that green thing in the river. Yeah.
And that was practical as well. And Tim Curry, like confusing the life out of his book. No one always should be scared of him. Yeah.
And he describes it as well. I think practical effects don't scare you more because you can touch it. It's touchable. They can touch you.
That's like the most terrifying thing in the world. She said that Don is looking at you quite sinisterly. So it was a picture of Don. How about E.T.
now? Honestly. We're not sure. I'm going to watch this back because it's bitches of E.T.
Besseth. Does E.T. like the actual like E.T. itself?
Does he scare you? Or is it what he did? I'm going to talk to you. On the talk.
On the talk. She was like. All I think now is that E.T. torch for nothing.
