Hello. My name is Justin Buklu. And I'm here today with Will Sloan. Sorry, I was in character as a werewolf. Yeah. Because it's Shocktober. It's Shocktober. We may actually be in November, and we're talking about the scariest topic of all time.

0:24.6

Let's say you are a supporting actor on the hit TV show Star Trek and you want screen time.

0:30.5

Well, there is nothing scarier than William Shatner.

0:36.1

I wanted to talk about William Shatner because I recently picked up Incubis on DVD out of a bargain bin, or the U section. And I was like, all right, can I find an excuse to talk about this? Well, William Shatner, as a leading man, he really starred in a lot of horror films. And I feel that we get to see them in a pure form in these pictures.

1:45.8

and including Enterprise. And when my dad was dying of cancer a couple years ago, one of the things

1:51.5

we watched together was the first season of the Shatner Star Trek. So I have fond associations

1:58.1
