 Welcome to our special season finale of Frankly Forgotten, but to kick things off, what are we drinking? Uh, near dark, Czech dark lager. Finger licking good. Today we're going to do something a little bit different for our season finale, we thought we'd change it up and do our first ever Q&A episode. And uh, kind of surprised how many questions we got, I thought we'd maybe get one or two. And uh, kind of got a little overwhelming, but we uh, I think we're going to do most of them. Uh, some questions were the same as others, so we kind of combined them. So let's kick it off. So the first one comes to us from Jeremy V. He wants to know if there's ever an idea that we had for uh, a sequel for a horror franchise. I always wanted to see a prequel with Freddy Cougar before he gets killed. Right? And he's like abducting the kids and he's just Robert England and no makeup and probably still could even though he's older, but they don't really ever say how old he was. Really? Yeah. So he could still be an older guy. For me, I never really thought a whole lot about, you know, say, uh, like Michael Meyers or um, Jason, because they already kind of show back stories on them, right? That's another one I always wanted to see done is Halloween movie where Michael Meyers is the proper age that he's supposed to be. I always thought it'd be cool if this weird old guy is after you, right? Yeah. A strong old guy. That's what they did when they did so. Exactly. So yeah, that one did come to fruition. The next question is by Narl Sagan and he asked us, uh, what was the horror movie that scared us most? This one, we did do an episode on it. Yeah. So if you want to see the whole episode, we'll put the link up here. It's titled The Movies That Scared Us. Another one that we could mention is The Road. I think that's kind of for the both of us because that movie's so haunting and so scary in a realistic way, right? Yeah. I mean, if the world were to end, that's exactly what it would be, almost to a fucking tee. Shadow Alley Productions would like to know if we ever thought about making our own, like, horror movie short. He collects silicon masks and has a YouTube channel. You want to know if he shipped us one if we would make a horror movie using said mask? And I guess the answer would be yes. As long as the mask doesn't come from Silver Shamrock. So you may be seeing a horror short coming your way on this channel in the, I don't know, foreseeable future. I don't know. Maybe the next season, you never know. And actually it's been coming up more and more where me and Adam have been getting ideas. Yeah. We'll have a weird dream or something or we'll be doing something and it'll kind of spark. It's like, hey, that would be a decent idea for a horror movie. I have such fucked up dreams or like, a lot of them would be terrifying. It's funny because most of the time when I do have nightmares, I'm actually not scared of them. And then I'll tell like my girlfriend or something and should be like, that's a fucked up dream. But for me, it's like, actually, it's kind of fun. The next question is from Ferret78 and he asked if there was a year zero for us or when there was a year zero for us where we were watching horror movies and it kind of sparked our love interest in them and continued on from there. Yeah, that's a hard one because horror movies for me have always just been there. My dad was really into the universal horror and stuff like, you know, the old black and white movies into the monsters and stuff like that. So even stuff that isn't horror, like the monsters TV show and hilarious house of Frankenstein and even young Frankenstein, I watched a lot as a kid. And I think those kind of things catapulted me into the real horror. So then moved into the universal monsters and then you go into the 70 slashers and it just went from there. Yeah, for me, it was my mom. It was this almost the same kind of thing for me. Yeah, the horror movies is just mostly what we always watched. It was just kind of a normal thing. It's like, OK, well, it was just on and OK. So just sit down and watch it. It's kind of a normal thing. I remember like when we first met in 1989. Like we kind of had different tastes in horror movies, you know, because I grew up with my dad pushing the universal monsters and the old hammer films on me. And then you kind of more were into the slashers and stuff like that. Right. Like, yeah, the Halloween tourist trap. Yeah. So it's like brought these two different styles of horror together. And like, then I got into the slashers because you were already into them. Right. Yeah. And I got into all the like the young Frankenstein stuff and the universal stuff because you remember you played with these toys. Yeah. Yeah. I was going to point over there, but you moved them. But yeah, so it is more of a fed off each other, really. Yeah. I hope I'm pronouncing this right. A Laramie Keeper sounds about right. Sure. He would like to know what was the first horror movie we ever saw and who were we with? I don't remember that. I have no clue because, like I said, they were just always there. But I think you remember. I actually do remember this one. And this was when we used to live in a small town and I was young. I don't know. I don't I can I can guess how old I was by the release of the movie. One of the biggest parts of the movie I remember, you probably know the movie right away is where the head is stuck in the vise and the tool shed. Yeah. Who is that? Evil Dead 2. That's right. And I watched it with my sister. The next question is by a tragedy mask. And he asks, what is the horror series or horror franchise that we would like to see continue? Yeah. Right. And in what direction do we want it to go? Yeah, I don't know. Like I don't need any more Halloween movies. Yeah. Don't need any more Friday the 13th movies. Nightmare on Elma Street would be nice to maybe no, because then Robert England's too old to do it. So I don't want to see somebody else playing that role. Again, I'd like to see more collector movies. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, that'd be pretty sweet. So maybe that, you know, of the collector, can it continue? There's supposed to be a third one coming out soon. Yeah. After the third one, I'm not sure what they could do. Who doesn't necessarily have to be the same guy? True. Yeah, it could just be another weirdo. Been so many rumors over the years about a possible hellraiser TV series coming out and all the stuff. But again, I'd only really want to see it if Clive Barker is at least involved in some some way. Yeah, yeah, but he'd have to be a big part. He can't just be like an executive producer and then not do anything. Like John Carpenter a lot of times. So I got come on. Annie Riggs would like to know if there's any kind of local ghost legends in our city. And yeah, there's there's a couple. There's a couple of famous ones. One that I'd like to mention is the Hamilton House, which is a famous haunted house. It's been featured on a couple of TV shows. There's that one show called Factor Faked. Famous pictures of the ectoplasm during a seance in the Hamilton House where the ectoplasms coming out of people's mouths during the seance. The author of Sherlock Holmes, you know, Arthur Conan Doyle, he traveled to the Hamilton House to do research because he was into that kind of stuff. Still there. It's like a chiropractor clinic right now or something like that. But that's enough to skid. You see the bill? The Fort Gary, right? Fort Gary Hotel, yeah. Yeah. Apparently you can't go in there asking for that room. Right. You can't ask for that room. They won't give it to you. If you happen to get it, then you will. Yeah. But then you might not even know that it is the room because the numbers have changed and everything. Another cool one is like the Windsor Hotel apparently is haunted too. Right. Like that goes way back. Yeah. The Windsor Hotel is a weird fucking place. It was actually like at one time kind of a fancier hotel. It's a complete fucking shithole right now. Like it's like almost condemned. But like Charlie Chaplin stayed at the Windsor Hotel. Yeah. It was like big on the vaudeville scene, right? Yeah. Winnipeg was actually kind of going off topic or whatever. Yeah. Winnipeg was actually a huge vaudeville town back in the day because it's right in the center of the country and all the train tracks all came through Winnipeg. So it was like, well, you know, if you're going to make a stop, you might as well stop at Winnipeg and do a show. And there was like tons. There was like at least five or six vaudeville houses at the time. Yeah. Yeah. Three Stooges did the vaudeville circuit here. You know, Charlie Chaplin. There's footage of Houdini hanging from the Winnipeg free press building upside down in a straight jacket, you know? Winnipeg wasn't really supposed to be the big town or it was supposed to be like Winnipeg Beach. Yeah. And then all those pictures, like all the people going swimming and everything. Wearing those hats. Those old swimming suits. Like, man, I might as well just wear a fucking three-piece suit and go swimming like Jesus. They must just weigh you down and look. He just sunk like a stone, didn't he? The next question for us was from Need Gore and he actually has his own YouTube channel as well. You can click the link above for it. What is our favorite movie outside of the horror genre? And this is a pretty easy one, I think, for both of us. Yeah. I know yours. Yeah. Big trouble, little China. Yeah. But my favorite movie that I'll probably watch because you're like in times and will continue to is Ghostbusters. Right. Yeah. Just while we're on the topic, your second would be Big Trouble? Probably. Yeah. It'd be like Big Trouble or Three Amigos, maybe, or something like that. Oh, yeah. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is up there pretty high. There's a few movies that are super close to our hearts that we both grew up watching together. Yeah. And that's probably one of the reasons you're so special is because we watched them together. And it's all those, basically, you know, Big Trouble and Little China, Three Amigos. Ghostbusters. Yeah. We played Ghostbusters a lot. Yeah. We even played Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Yeah. We both got black eyes from falling off that bench thing trying to, pretending to hang. Yeah. Yeah. That's great, yeah. But let's play Good, the Bad, and the Ugly and hang ourselves. Let's play the hanging scene. The next question comes to us by Mr. Jack-O-Lanterns. And he wants to know, he has a few things, but we'll tackle one of them. He wants to know, what is our favorite feel-good movie? Right. And that kind of ties into the last question of it, because a lot of those movies are feel-good movies. That's a tough one. I didn't think of it until you mentioned it last night. Crocodile Dundee is one of my favorite feel-good movies because that ending is fucking classic. Yeah. And the whole movie to the build-up of that, right? That's great. Some of the movies you've mentioned before are kind of feel-good movies too, like Ghostbusters at the end, pretty few. I love this, Tyler. Ha, ha, ha. Yes. Big Trouble Little China, for me, was never really a feel-good movie. No, it's kind of not. Because it's one of those movies where I was always sad when it was over. Exactly. Because the adventure is over. And he's like, ah, it's such a good movie. I wanted to keep going. You know, I don't want it to end. I don't want Jack to go away. And it ends kind of on a sad note, too. It's kind of sad. The music is sad. Any John Hughes movie, right? Yeah. Some kind of wonderful is really good. Yeah, that's kind of an underrated John Hughes movie. I like some kind of wonderful. The next question that was posed to us is by Patrick Doherty, and he asked us, what is one of the most highly regarded movies that we actually don't like? Yeah. Which is actually kind of an interesting question. For me, it'd be like a lot of people praise the dawn of the dead remake. I really don't like it. Same thing with the evil dead remake gets a lot of praise from a lot of people, and I fucking hate that movie. I don't see it. OK, fine. Maybe you like them, but not more than the original. Because a lot of people say, oh, I was way better than the original. What are you looking at? What are you watching here, exactly? The next question comes to us by Jeff Lerne's Linux. And I sure as hell ain't taking the time to learn no fucking Linux. Neither am I. He'd like to know, where do we see, or where would we like to see the horror movie genre evolve to in the future? Or is the genre dead? That genre, this genre will never be dead. It's been around since the 30s. It was one of the first genres of movie ever, which is kind of, I've always found kind of neat that the first movies ever made were horror movies like that, 1910 Frankenstein and shit like that, right? Nosferatu. Yeah. I'd like to see horror movies get a bit more cerebral, like something you have to think about a bit more, like movies like Get Out. It's not just as plain as day. It's not just what you see is what you get. It's you gotta think about it and be more interesting. It's more introspective. Nowadays, it seems to be such a thing that you always gotta now pepper these horror movies with jokes, silly jokes. With the comedy, yeah. And but the comedy never works. It's like they just plunk it in. And it's not natural to the characters or anything, right? They just say stupid things. So I'd like to see that go. Like I would like to see the genre sort of taken about face and if you're really gonna set out to scare people, then fucking do it. And don't piss around with these stupid jokes. Yeah, I'd like to see horror movies go on a route where the genre is legitimately trying to terrify you. Right. It's not just about blood and guts and gore and fun kills or silly kills. I'd like to see a movie legitimately go out and try to like terrify a generation. Exactly, yeah. The next questions asked to us, we're gonna kind of combine two and one here. One is from Matthew Penrose and he asked us who we think is one of the best underrated slashers, right? And the next one that we're kind of combining is from Fulper and he asks us what a good solo movie is that we would like to see a sequel for. Yeah, and for me the answer for both questions is the same. Yeah. Underrated slasher that also needs a sequel. For me it would be, it was two of them. I'd love to see Dr. Giggles. Too late now, Larry Drake is dead, but I would have loved to have seen a Dr. Giggles sequel where he's all burned up from the first movie because he gets in that fire. He's all bubbly and everything. I'd like to see him like maimed and wearing the surgical mask out killing again. That'd be pretty cool. And also would have loved to have seen a My Bloody Valentine sequel. Dustin Brainbridge asked us what our favorite horror villain is, Conalor Copper and from Halloween 3. Yeah, I think, I do think maybe Swan though deserves. He's pretty badass. Yeah, I like Swan. He also wanted to know what our favorite horror movie protagonist is, Dan Chalice from Halloween 3. Yeah, he gets the babe. Cause he's just perfect like every man, every day type of guy who just gets put in a situation and for the most part, stops a bad guy. Right, yeah. The next question is from Gonzalo Valdez and he wants to know if we ever watched The Monster Vision with the Joe Bob Briggs. Joe Bob Briggs. Joe Bob Briggs. And well, it's kind of easy for us to answer that, which I know nobody wants to hear, but the answer is no. The only reason being is, I don't think we got that station here. Like I'm sure if you had satellite or something back in the day, you probably would have got, I think it was on the Turner Network or something like that. But no, we didn't even have that station to watch Monster Vision with Joe Bob Briggs. And it's kind of weird cause, you know, when the internet started coming out and we started doing the research on horror movies and stuff like that. Of course, Monster Vision comes up all the time as being like a classic show. And like, well, I never, you know, and then I kind of got into this Joe Bob Briggs guy and watched some segments and stuff and I kind of wish I would have had that. And I didn't realize that he is also like, I thought that he was just a host. And he actually didn't have, you know, didn't know if he actually had love for horror movies or not, if it was just a gig for him, right? But no, it seems like he's a legitimately like knowledgeable horror movie fan too. So, you know, if it was around, for sure we would have watched it. I don't have shutter, I don't think you do either. So last drive in, I believe is on shutter with Joe Bob Briggs, so we don't watch that either. The next question comes to us from the Manitoba Money Shot, our friend here in Winnipeg, Ron Moore, would like to know, is there any favorite horror movie books that we've read? I'm not super into horror novels. I know you are more so than me. I've mostly read sci-fi and biographies. You lent me The Exorcist a couple of months ago and I read The Exorcist for the first time and I fucking loved it. Yeah, yeah. Legion 2, Borgie Legion, I liked Legion. I thought it was really good and I thought it was like very close to, well, the movie was very close to the book. Besides the ending. Yeah, of course, yeah. That's super Hollywood stamp, right? But one thing I did like about the ending of the movie better than the book is, because the book is kind of anticlimactic for Legion. In the movie when Karris is able to kind of get the demon out of him for long enough to get Kinderman to shoot him and he looks up at him and he's like, shoot me, shoot me now. I liked that part and that wasn't in the book and to me that makes sense. Yeah, yeah. It's a good way to end the movie. I just wish it didn't put that stupid exorcism in there, the guy all on the ceiling and feeling like a monk. Yeah, he's getting all the feels off. What the fuck is that? I've read a lot of horror books, like a lot of Anne Rice, a lot of Stephen King, but really for me, the classics are some of the best. And I know it sounds like a cliche but one of my favorite books is Dracula. I think that book is fucking awesome. I also read the Amityville horror and that movie, I far more prefer the movie. The movie for me was way more believable. Some books that I remember enjoying when I was younger and tried rereading and didn't like them so much actually was one of the Anne Rice novels. Oh yeah. Because I got into those in like junior high, high school, red, you know, not all of them, but most of them like, you know, interviewed the vampire through to, I think, tale of the body theme. And I tried rereading Vampire Lestat recently and I thought I couldn't get two chapters in. I thought it was fucking horrible. I remember loving that book and then like, just the way it's written seems kind of childish. Anne Rice is kind of weird for me because I find that I'll get maybe halfway through her books and then I'll put the book down and I won't pick it up for like two months or something. And then after it's like the thin layer of dust, it's like, oh yeah, I gotta finish it because I'm already invested. So yeah, yeah, I see what you mean. Just to shoot the shit a bit on books and stuff like that. I've been really getting to like certain graphic novels lately, like I collect a lot of the, most of the new Ghostbusters comics by IDW. I think they're fucking great. I'm kind of hooked on those Ghostbusters comics. Yeah, those are the ones you bore to me, right? Yeah, they're like, it's so faithful to the movie and they also include stuff that happened in like the cartoon and they all make it canon in a smart way, you know? Yeah, they do a really good job. When you bored those two of me, I was pretty skeptical actually and I was like, yeah, okay. But yeah, no, I thought the same things. Like fuck, these are fucking great. Yeah, they're really good. So yeah, that's it. I think that's the end of our first ever Q&A episode and the end of season four from Frightfully Forgotten. It went by quick. It did, yeah, had a lot of fun. Yeah, 2020 was a fucked up year, you know, between the COVID and all this shit. It's, I'm glad we were able to keep it going and it never got so bad where we had to like, stay isolated and we couldn't shoot episodes. We were able to plunge through it. Yeah, I'd just like to give a shout out to all the, our subscribers who watch us weekly. You guys weren't watching and commenting. We wouldn't keep doing this thing. We could call it fucking quits. Exactly. But there's enough of you guys out there watching and commenting that make it worthwhile and. And it's appreciated too, you know? All the viewers and you know, we have a couple of patrons on Patreon. So I really appreciate you guys and we do have a special New Year's episode coming your way that's gonna bridge the gap between this episode and the beginning of season five. That's right. We will actually have a new segment that we'll be debuting in season five. I'm not gonna say what it is yet, but we shot the intro for it yesterday and put it this way, we had to climb into a BFI bin to do it. Well, we're willing to go the extra mile. So until, well until our New Year's episode, keep fucking drinking. You bet your ass.
