This is the Evil Never Dies podcast with Bretton Carl. This podcast may contain adult themes, violence and strong language. Listener discretion is advised. [Music] Welcome back to the Evil Never Dies podcast. What's going on Carl? What episode is this 285? 285? Are we sure this week? No I'm not really sure. I don't keep up with that honestly. I'm sure. My camera ain't right. Damn it. What's wrong with it? I don't know. Now it's jumping. It looks like it's not jumping. I think it's my camera. I think it's my hairs and my eyes and I can't see my eyeballs. Oh shit. You're funny. I'm serious. I've got my hairs and my eyes and I can't see them so I got to move it. There we go. Need to slick it back. I don't slick it back on. Look at that long it has. It's going down to my mouth. Oh. I'll start chewing on it again here soon. Need to let the back grow as long as the front. I can't. They work won't let me. They won't let you put up in ponytail. No. I got to work with professionals and shit. I'm surprised they let us keep the beard. Everybody wears a beard nowadays though so. I'm sick now. I saw Madison last night. She says oh my god you've let that thing get thick. I'm like yeah that's pretty thick. Yeah this is probably the thickets I've seen it. Yeah like my chin's pretty thick. And look it don't even look gray. I wonder why a little Grecian formula. They don't make that. They don't. Not to my knowledge. Oh. Just for men gel. Is that what it is? I probably. If I didn't do my hair when I was in my thirties I would have been wide head completely so. Yeah. I got to keep my look up here. Gotta keep the look up. Talking about looks. Guess who's returned back to the podcast. If you got YouTube you can see Boris Karloff. Yeah welcome Boris Karloff to the podcast. Whoa. So what's been going on this week Karl? Nothing. Me neither man. It's been a pretty much an eventful, uneventful week. Which is surprising because usually something's fucked up. Other than I got to get back injection that's the only news I got this week. I got no news this week. It was a very uneventful week except I've been working out and I've already lost like five pounds. That's what I need to do. I need to get my back fixed here so it don't hurt to walk fifty feet. Yeah you don't want to do that. Be hurting. Yeah I know. So this week we're back to doing a movie. We're back to movies because I think people are sick of music because our viewership went down with all the music. It tanked. It tanked. Oh well yeah. What are you gonna do? So what are we doing this week? Who picked this? Did I pick it or do we? We both have been talking about doing this movie for a while. Mutual of mutually agreement there. Yeah we've been talking about it and this sort of like then I got on the whole I wanted order the 4K and I got it in time so we did it this week and it is fun house the fun house the 1981 universal film directed by the great Toby Hooper of Texas Chainsaw Massacre fame and poltergeist which I think is how we brought this up because I said I like fun house better than poltergeist and made everybody mad. I'm still getting hate from because they said I'm dawgged on poltergeist. Oh shit. Still getting the hate on that one. That's how we originally brought fun house into the mix and I'll be honest I'm don't buy a lot of these older movies on 4K but I've got a page that I go to which we may put in the notes for the link if anybody's interested when they review Blu-rays and 4Ks and I go off of those guys because there was one movie I like and they said don't buy the 4K it's shit well this they said look good and I took their word for it so that is our movie this week the fun house anything before we start. No I guess I'll just get right into it like we said it was directed by Toby Hooper written by Larry Bloch produced by Stephen Bernhardt Derek Power Mace Newfeld and Mark L Lester cinematography by Andrew Lasglow edited by Jack Hofstra music by John Beale and I just sent you the link to the and you made me very happy because I love that fucking soundtrack yeah I know me too I was surprised when I searched it that it was on there you made my day actually I might actually play some of that in the Pennywise room at the haunt oh that'd be cool yeah it's hard to get good carnival music yeah it is so yeah very good soundtrack for sure production companies universal pictures mace Newfeld productions and CFI Hollywood distributed by universal pictures released on March 13th 1981 as a running time of 96 minutes United States is the country of origin English language at a but now not completely there's gibberish language also in this movie okay English language and gibberish language oh yeah yeah for sure budget was three million dollars and it brought back seven point eight at the box office yeah I didn't do good at the box office disappointing it almost made its money back on the first weekend it made yeah I did seven five million on an opening weekend so they almost made their money back in the first weekend so but I don't think it stayed in theaters too long which was you know because I seen this at the theater when it came out back in the day so oh you did see it at the theater yeah I did see it I mean my mom's seen it yeah as one of many I seen with her and oh yeah she took you to some freaking movies in the day man oh yeah yep for sure do you got anything you want to add here before I go into the you want to do the synipses synipses is that what you call it the synipses yeah let's do the plot so I love the way this movie starts and I guess some it's sort of a spoiler but I'm gonna give it away anyway because you know this movie is about a fun house it's not about a serial killer so it starts out with them they're walking around grab grabs and looks like a guy looks like a kid something grabs a mask and grabs a knife and it shows a bunch of props which are all universal props which Toby Hooper phrase that he got the use since it was a universal film then it shows a girl in a robe going to the shower so it looks like we're headed for a Jason Voorhees or if Michael Myers actually more Michael Myers I guess beginning and sort of like a psycho and a little bit of psycho a little bit of psycho so he he goes in there now we get to see the the girl in the in the buff which is sort of creepy now because I don't know how old that girl was she looked for a pretty damn young so a little bit of a creep factor for me watching it now she gets in the shower and all of a sudden shower opens like psycho and the knife it's a rubber knife so this little goofy kid tries to place tab his sister and then looking at her naked in the shower and he's a little dumbass and really that had nothing to do with the movie I think Toby Hooper did more to mock Michael Myers he said it was to give carpenter a nod but I think he was mocking because do remember Texas Chainsaw Massacre came before any of the other ones yeah so even carpenter was influenced by Texas Chainsaw Massacre as far as a slasher film so it's a fun beginning it's all tongue-in-cheek I still a little creeped out that this boys looking at his sister in the shower it's I don't know but we go from that to to the meat and potatoes of the movie I didn't call it bread and butter because I don't know if bread's a word if you listen to the midweek little girl she looks like a little girl to me I don't how old this chick was she's going on a date with this loser who works in a filling station which we now call gas station mothers in alcoholic obviously and daddy's just this don't give a shit and they really don't want him don't go to the circus so what does she do yeah don't go to the carnival don't go to the carnival she goes to the carnival with this loser and two other losers that are with her in the meantime little pervert brother decides he's gonna follow him to the carnival so I don't know how far off this carnival is but he somehow walks all the way there while they drive so they make it to the to the carnival it's an old-school carnival which I miss those things so much yeah and weird thing is that the carnival barkers all look the same did you catch that part yeah that's probably I probably know the answer to why to we don't talk about that later yeah when we go over the cast so they're at the carnival and everything's going pretty good but then they look at the fun house the dark ride a dark ride and there's this monster we're an actual Frankenstein mask sort of some of what we got over here walking around and I'm like oh cool we got a Frankenstein it goes the shit from there Bubby it goes the shit straight up and that is the plot of funhouse we're not gonna spoil the movie except for the beginning because the beginning is a tongue-in-cheek fun part all right oh I'm being talked to by Dracula the cat she's asking for me oh no hold on Dracula she's bringing me a mouse she's bringing me a mouse oh she fetches and brings them to you oh okay back to the movie all right going over the cast here first off we got Elizabeth Barrage is Amy Harper she's the young girl your Carl's been talking about who appeared to be like 15 it's creepy now I mean yeah you know I'm an old dude with grandkids and daughters I don't like this kind of stuff I'm an I'm one of these old guys that don't like all the perversion anymore I don't know about Brett and I think he's still perverted oh shit you still a p-vert I guess like I am I'm a reformed pervert next we got Cooper Huckabee is buzz and I was at the brother was the brother buzz or no that was the boyfriend wasn't it buzz was the loser boyfriend okay and next we got Largo Woodruff as Liz Duncan that was the loser girlfriend yeah and then we got Miles Chapin as Richie and he was the other loser yeah Kevin Conway as freak show Barker strip show Barker ah and Conrad straighter the funhouse Barker yes he played all three roles and he watching that interview with him I think it's on the Blu-ray you got as well he said that the girl like seeing to be semi-clairvoyant and as the Barker he looked at her kind of glared at her and she seemed to notice it in each each time that you know they encountered each other so he said he got to improv a lot Toby Hooper let him kind of do what he wanted to in this movie well he told Toby Hooper he says well why don't I just do all three barkers it'll save you from hiring yeah yeah and Toby's a good work man do what you want to do yeah so that's how he did that all right next we got Wayne Doba as Gunther twice bunt women I don't know how you say that name I was trying to figure that earlier and I was like I'm not even gonna attempt to say I'm gonna go with women well anyway he's the monster the Frankenstein monster yeah well he takes his mask off eventually yes he should have kept it on yeah what how would you describe him is like a deform birth defects yeah see he's got a deformity and possibly an albino yeah um cleft who said later he sort of felt bad because he thought that maybe people thought he was making fun of people with disabilities and he said that was not what he meant but looking back on the movie now I think you know prior to his passing what he was doing a commentary track and yeah he said it was supposed to be like a birth effect yeah and he also is the one who spoke gibberish he could not communicate no but the brother seemed to understand his gibberish or the daddy that was his daddy that was that was his daddy yeah well there's a lot of confusion because there's a novel that was written we'll get into that a little bit later but yeah there's a novel also for the fun house yeah we'll go which I have I should have went and got it damn it all right Sylvia Miles as Madam Zina and she was the what he called the fortune teller slash prostitute yeah the fortune teller prostitute god and you can't find enough of them in the world no shit were they all at next we got William Finn Finnley as Marco the magnificent Sean Carson as Joey Harper that was the brother Rebecca little pervert brother is a little pervert brother Rebuka hoy as strip show dancer Jack McDermott as mr. Paul Harper that was the dad and Jean Austin as mrs. Ellen Harper the drunk mother yeah and the novel she's really written about a lot more detail oh yeah I've read the book before I didn't even realize that the book in the movie were connected when I first got them that was when I was still reading a lot of horror movie or horror books did not know it was a horror movie I didn't know they were connected in other words I mean I watched Funhouse when I was a kid but yeah the novel's really good well it was released before because it took so long to get the movie out yeah so yeah they did that with a lot of movies back then they would write there was actually a paperback book of Halloween did you know that and I used to have it and it's worth like fucking $2,000 I do know about that yes yeah I remember that and I never got the novel but I remember you're locked up over there you're locked up no you were locked up it wasn't me it was you your back you were locked up dude not me we must have both been locked up so yeah but I remember that novel yeah it was on paperback I remember I got it at the bookstore and I got to look and add them online one day and they were for a mint condition when they were like two grand for it yeah that that's amazing as yours what kind of condition I don't I don't have it I what the fuck did you do with it damn it got left at my parents house when I moved out and I'm what a box of books and I got sold at a garage sale for a nickel god dang man you could have had some gold right there shit who would have known oh shit let's see here what else do we got talked about the even though this was filmed supposed to be set in the Midwest in Iowa actually it was actually shot on the back lots of northern studios in Miami Florida yes they filmed it in Florida and I think Toby Hooper said it was because of the labor laws yeah the amusement rides and attractions featured in the film dated from the 40s and 50s they were acquired and brought down from a defunct carnival from Akron Ohio the freak show animals seen in the film including one cow with a cleft palate and another with two heads were real animals that belong to a traveling carnival that's interesting yeah here's more about the special effects makeup that Rick Baker did Rick Baker did a phenomenal job with the special effects he was they originally dubbed Gunther as the cow man I could see that did you notice he's got snot running out of his mouth oh no the whole time that was the most awesome thing about it man yeah yeah that was just I mean such detail though yeah good especially with this 4k you you can see the snot just it was graphic oh yeah Rick Baker and Craig Riordan did the effects on this I don't know who Riordan is I know who Rick Baker is just a makeup artist okay let's see here Baker was a lot of creative freedom during this process and in a interview with Fangoria he said it's a birth defect type monster after I started thinking about it for a while I felt real guilty about making that deformity a monster yeah I think that him and and Toby Hooper both commented about that later it's so easy to take horror straight from nature because there are some pretty horrifying real thing it just didn't feel right about making it a straight freak so I added a little more to it I hope it comes out across that way because it still has a lot of birth defect the birth defect aspect to it so yeah I didn't have a problem with it myself look I mean they just to me it made sense they're at a carnival and he he was sort of a freak carnival oh you know I don't I don't find it that that's strange that a you would do some and too freaky to put out in front of people yeah exactly so it made total sense to me yeah oh by the way to my freaks I finally moved the real pumpkin head to where you can see him on camera there he is the real pumpkin head this one has a pumpkin's head he's real and I guess Gunther had a twin brother - that was in a jar um yeah that is also in the novel yep they made a vinyl cast of a baby from a medical supply house and used it as a base for the prop so yeah he was in the novel he was killed as a baby because he tried to attack his mother so that is his brother that sounds like another film that we need to do what is that oh it's alive I've been trying to do the damn it's alive she's I don't go in them like you put them on the list you better have them I want to do it's a live on the list that's sort of what this sounds like though yeah oh shit all righty what do you got about the 4k okay so apparently Universal is trying to get a lot of their secondary I guess you would call them horror movies out on 4k releases and they're partnered up with Shout Factory aka Scream Factory so Funhouse is a universal property Scream Factory loves doing this shit so they I think this came out of yours maybe two years ago now 2022 yeah yeah it's a 4k disc and it has an actual brand-new 4k scan from the original camera negative which Universal Pictures keeps their shit I think they have the best vault of any of the old studios I think it appears that way so yeah this thing it it ported over the the commentary truck with Toby Hooper who apparently this was done when he was getting older and starting to get sick because he didn't really talk a lot about the movie he kind of it's so you can tell he's doesn't really it's not a very good commentary track but it's still interesting to listen to then the it has a Blu-ray attached it has all the special features and they added a bunch of special features they pretty much interview everybody I think I didn't get to watch all of them but it's a lot there I'm actually gonna watch some of this after we get done with the show because as I said a lot of these special features you already got the information on so don't really add anything but yeah we get this cool slip which is the original poster I think the Blu-rays got an ultra the original Blu-rays got an alternate cover which I wasn't fond of and yeah this this this okay is that that one I think an alternate cover where'd you get that I don't know some freak gave it to me that goddamn cow man did cow man mm-hmm I we were talking before we started the show Brett says you can't he don't notice a lot of the differences in the four case this one I noticed big time it's really it's I would give this I'm gonna give this a five when it comes to the 4k release and the special features okay even if the movie sucked this is a five all right fine job screen factory as always you need to give me an endorsement send me free shit and I'll review it for you damn it yeah why don't you get on that host get on you're the one supposed to be contacting all these people and getting people on the show and all this stuff I got a couple people lined up here I'm just waiting run the right time to tell me that for two years oh all right all right I guess we'll go over some what am I smoking yeah it's my puffer are you trying to quit cigarettes again it's air yeah it's just air flavored air your peppermint air right peppermint yeah well I'm glad it Brett's quit smoking because I got this Frankenstein back and it smells like a damn barbecue restaurant so what I've been doing I've got this and I recommend this to this is the glade pumpkin spice things up so what we do here we break Frankenstein down but every I hope that shit don't eat the latex off of him it won't oh shit all right let's go over some trivia here I would like to get the trivia on this movie I've always found this movie so interesting still to this day okay Toby Hooper at one point was almost struck by a flying beam but Jesus Christ saved by an extra who broke their arm in three places in the process motherfucker I would I would break my arm for Toby Hooper I would yeah that skirt that a novel you're talking about was actually done by Dean Coons yes it was under the pseudonym Owen West and I've got that paperback it's and it's still one of my books that I keep on display and freaking great book it has a really good back story on all the yeah we're not reviewing the book because that would be an entire show in itself and we've never reviewed a book and I don't think we're gonna start reviewing books but if you like this movie you might try to find that book I'm sure it's on a PDF or a Kindle book now all right an accident occurred during filming when a carnival ride carrying several passengers was left on for about 20 minutes to a half hour oh hell the octopus the arm you know the octopus ride where the arms spin around oh yeah and the carriage rotates in a circle well no no normally it only runs for about five minutes for ride these people were on it for almost 30 minutes now my lord people threw up yelled out let us off this crazy thing and when they when the people stopped people couldn't walk because they were fucked up dizzy and shit oh yeah ambulance had to was had to be called but no one was seriously oh they didn't know fucking ambulance they're just wimps Toby Hooper used some of the film's props when he directed the music video for Billy Idol dancing with myself from 1983 that's interesting that's a crazy video when they did the commentary track whoever it was film historian whatever his name was said when he got the Toby Hooper's house Toby Hooper still had props from this movie in his house really yep that's cool so yeah he still had him to that day I think we talked about this when we did polar guys that uh Steven Spielberg asked him to direct ask Toby Hooper to direct ET but turn it down because he was busy doing the fun house yeah which he would have probably made way more money doing ET but oh no who would known though that it was gonna be such a big hit you know the original plan was to have makeup effects artist Rick Baker play the monster before director Toby Hooper caught a performance of a Mayan by the name of Wayne Doba who subsequently landed the role we already went over that about the barkers during production director Toby Hooper acquired a number of antique clock antiques clock work and mechanical old toys which had been used as props is the movie so that must have been some of the ones we had at his house I'm sure it was he had his own Count Karabi Museum going it sounds like there's a scene where there's some girls in a tent they were local strippers from Miami nightclub yeah that that's and again these these kids and they're like peeping in there looking at all of it like yeah that drunk mama raised two kids I'll tell you what you got the boy looking at his sister and the sister looking at girls who we film took many critics by surprise they were expecting typical gore-filled slasher dredge but instead found it to be quality suspenseful horror movie I think Gene Siskel said that he gave it a positive review yeah it's it said it was one of his guilty pleasures watching the funhouse I've got some of those movies I can relate to Gene Siskel some of the props and Joey's bedroom were owned by Sherry Lewis of Landshop fame yeah such as the winking ventriloquist dummy and were obtain obtainable because co-executive producer mace Newfield was a friend of hers well that's cool notice it didn't put lamb chop in there now we're not gonna do that oh let's see here Wayne Doba who played the monster also played Octavio the clown and Scarface from 1983 and it was also shot in the Miami area Scarface had a clown in it yeah and one of the nightclub scenes shit I think machine guns is Scarface considered evil enough for us to review someday I don't know I love Scarface I know he's got there's a chainsaw in it yeah that's fucking brutal dude I'd add it to the list according to Toby Hooper actor Sylvia Miles who played the the what do you call it the did the crystal ball what do you call it the fortune teller yeah the fortune teller prostitutes yeah asked him did I just throw my career away filming this movie no you did not oh shit let's see here director Toby Hooper wanted cinematographer Andrew Lasklow for this movie because he liked his performance and he did Boulder Hills the Warriors from 1979 that was a that movie was the cinematography was awesome just because of all the different shots and yeah that that's a pretty iconic movie yeah love that movie I like your new lights set up by the way oh yeah I like noticing it more and more now got me a Dollar Tree Bowl you need to move your camera over by like a centimeter though over what way well you get by where your iron maiden and black Sabbath poster is it's there's too much wall visible okay now now he's all I'll fuck oh shit script was purchased by Universal Pictures who were looking to produce a teen-aimed horror film after the success of Friday the 13th from 1980 this was nothing like Friday the 13th no it was not let's see here in the UK the film was prosecuted as video nasty who few years after it's released but with no success as the film was considered fairly tamed by critics it was speculated that the attempt man was simply due to the mix up with the film the last house on Dead End Street from 1973 which had an alternate title the funhouse huh that's weird really look if you look to my side you can see Linda Blair yeah her head's not spinning though I can make it spin oh shit director Toby Hooper was bit by a brown recluse spider during filming oh wow wonder if he's got a chunk out of his meat I don't know that's what killed them Jeff Haneman yep let's see here went over that went over that oh Cooper Huckabee the idiot boyfriend yeah he was actually 30 years old when he played good lord and he played a teenager he did look a little older than the rest of them oh shit they usually used you know you can tell in all these Friday the third 13th movies these kids are in their 30s but that girl and funhouse look to be pretty age young this you know as she should been yeah like I said I think that bother I'm not a pervert anymore that bothers me now bothers you that you're not a pervert no I think that's I don't like looking at that shit no more the industrial crane used for crane shots on this wheel we could elevate higher than the ferris wheel seen in the amusement part how is it train was gigantic had three sections and could be extended by 50 feet films director of photography wanted to have one on every movie set he worked on I bet he did I bet he did let's see here this thing is what this movie is labeled a slasher movie but it's not a slasher it's not a slasher film now maybe they saw the opening sequence and thought it was a slasher film yeah maybe maybe that's why they labeled it that but it's actually a pretty much a thriller to me you know or thriller I would say so sorry I'm starting to yawn oh let's see here good last night and I don't think I'll be able to step till three o'clock the night damn it damn it reshoots the scenes took four days due to lost film footage which had got caught up in a local teamster war oh shit director Toby Hooper has said that the filming of this movie in Miami in Miami and all over Florida occurred during the Scarface era yeah it was bad down there during that time man from like 77 78 all the way up to the mid mid 80s man it was bad with all the cocaine shit going on and all the people coming in from Cuba the opening secret sequence was filmed after principal shooting on the movie had already wrapped that makes sense the animatronic fat lady laughing at the end of the film is referenced to the phrase it ain't over till the fat lady sings that's kind of funny hmm that's different leave it at Toby Hooper yep he had an interesting mind for doing shit dude he really did you know it's sort of a shame that he didn't do more movies he didn't do a whole lot over his career no no now life force was a freaky ass movie that's on the list too ain't it it didn't it should be film received the cover photo and main story in Fangoria number 11 if you don't know what Fangoria is it's a horror movie magazine we'll just over all together I guess I just yeah but issue 11 so if you got the CD soundtrack for this it's a collector's item oh I got it on Apple music now yeah let's talk about the soundtrack for a minute since we just discovered it tonight okay what do you I thought it was an absolutely great soundtrack yeah fit it perfectly fit the movie perfect it's a scene you know the the separate scene tracks they did the scenes perfect yeah very good score for them yeah that's that's gold that you found it on Apple music cuz I was I just searched because I I searched a lot of soundtrack you know mmm movies were doing and a lot of them aren't on there and this happened to be on there I just typed in his name and it came those the first thing that came up what's a great soundtrack it it it definitely would get a top review as well for the movie I'll be listening to that here over the weekend like I said we might use some of it in the the Pennywise room hard to find good circus music dude I'm telling you yeah Toby Hooper made this film between his other horror movie Salem's a lot and Poltergeist which he didn't even make but that's another story we don't been there done that oh let's see here in the scene with the magician who was telling the Dracula story when the trick was resolved he introduced his daughter and assistant as Carmilla in Sharon Lee Fannous novella Carmilla Carmilla is the main character and female equivalent of Dracula yep sure the hell is all right that was a good catch that's about it that's a good stopping point I think so in review I'm gonna let you go first this time well like I said I seen this with the movie theater when it came out I always love that creature effect man yeah I thought it was the coolest thing at the time for sure which it might have probably was you know it probably was yeah for the time it was just freaky looking you know what I was probably I don't know I have to say I wonder if they were a little bit inspired by it by the way Jason looked honestly and took what the Jason face and then you know kind of took it to a higher level did they show them did they show them face of Jason without the sack on his face and front of the 13th boy yeah in the first one they did they showed his face yeah at the end when he comes out of the lake oh that was the young Jason yeah but still he had that deformed look to him okay all right I'm just wondering I don't know okay I thought you meant the adult now Jason so but anyway yeah always been a fan of this movie I think I have it on burnt DVD somewhere in my well good bring it back and I'll sell it the movie trading company for three dollars I'll give it $3 for it okay but anyway I'm gonna give this a four man for sure good story to it just everything about it I liked it for sure couple of cup you know the little brother you know what it whatever he they sort of like trying to make it about him at first and then you didn't seem the rest really the rest of the whole movie kind of rode him off yeah yeah so I think that was a little misleading but other than that good movie I highly recommend it for sure definitely should see it if you haven't already all right well I'm going to agree with you I'm gonna give I might even give this a 4.25 oh little higher than a 4 I always love this movie since the first time I saw it still love it to this day I'm one of the reasons I got it on 4k I will watch this at least once a year I always have love it great I remember the old good times DVD of it that looks so terrible so to get this thing in such pristine condition makes me happy getting the soundtrack makes me happy it's it's a pretty perfectly done horror movie the acting is a little those teenagers are 30 year old teenagers their acting is a little shitty that would be the only negative yeah yeah the rest of the people did a good job you're right this the kid disappearing was sort of weird and I don't know I think it was just a plot twist and it was done well but yeah 4.25 for a fun house I definitely recommend it if you don't want the 4k you can get the Blu-ray cheaper right now it's Scream Factory since they've got them both definitely recommend this movie I think you'll enjoy it there's not much bad to it I mean it's it's really you kind of leaves you at odds yeah I will say one part that I noticed the girl I don't know why she just stands around looking at the monster why didn't she fucking run away oh yeah just at the end yeah just so like she's so terrified yeah I like that you can't look away or something yeah that that was a little that was one of the only parts I thought was a little dumb I don't think somebody would have just
