Scared to death is explicit in every way. Please take care of all listening.

Welcome to Scared to death creeps peepers robbers and Annabelle's I'm Dan. Hello Dan. I am. I'll be me. I'm Lindsay. Okay. Let's check it. I was like, no, do I want to be Annabelle?

No, we're all right. No, but I'm just me. Episode 144 today. Lulu and see Marie over 500 total stories in County now. That's wild.

So many spooks. Thanks to everyone who continues to stay on this ride of ours. Still loving horror as much as ever. Hope you are too. And actually speaking of loving horror, I keep thinking about the the black phone. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, they spawn. I mean, they spawned full transparency. Like they sponsored the show not for what I'm doing now, but for an ad. But like we watched the trailer.

To trailer, actually, to see like, you know, what the movie looks like. You know, we're always looking for like new good horror movies. I think Ethan Hawk, when he's at the top of his game, is a phenomenal actor. Like I really like him and have for a long time, like going back like, what's it true romance?

And. But I don't know that he's played like a horror lead before not that I could think of. And the critical stuff I looked into it looked into it a little further after we did our ad read.

And he's getting like really good feedback for his portrayal. I didn't know it was based on a book. Oh, it came out just a couple years ago. But it just looks like it could be a really good summer horror movie. And I'm always such a fan of those.

Maybe you'll maybe watch this one in the theater with me. I want to watch this. I said, I would I already committed to this. Okay, good. It's not a surprise that I said I would go.

Okay, I know sometimes I'd chicken out. So I can see where your hesitation comes from. But what I like about the black phone, honestly, would I would always like messes me up the most, but also draws me in the most is when it's a little bit of a psychological thriller as well.

I could watch saw movies for days and just be like, okay, whatever. It just doesn't affect me in the same way. Yeah, except the very first saw that one messed me up.

Yeah, but you're going to use to it gets jaded exactly. And they just don't carry the same kind of weight like this black phone thing in the preview.

It they just kind of like show this kid being abducted and I'm like, oh, as a kid, that was a massive very real fear I had. And now as an adult with children, that is a different kind of fear. But I also carry that with me.

And I like that they have seemed to blend horror and psychological together, which is a great combo where it's like take the paranormal.

I mean, and I'm basing all of this off just a trailer where we learn to everything about the like it looks like you take away any paranormal elements.

And it's still just a scary, more true crime vibe, you know, like crime kind of thriller like silence of the layoffs, yeah, but then you layer ghosts on top of that. And I'm like, oh, cool.

Yeah, so I mean, hopefully it's not shit. Hopefully it's not a lot because there are those war movies sometimes like the trailer is great. And then you watch it and you're like, oh, what?

I took all the good parts from a two hour movie and put it in a two minute trailer. Isn't that just movies in general anymore? Yeah, go look. I know what the whole movies about I saw all the good things.

Luckily, I don't have a great memory. I try not to remember too much on those trailers that I try not to like hold on to it. So that hopefully by the time I get into the theater to watch it, it's kind of gone away.

Okay, fair enough. Anyway, I'm excited about horror. Two quick announcements then our show. Okay.

New nightmare man tea and coffee mug in the store at badmagicmerch.com love me a coffee mug. Do you know Joe Paisley is a one mug man? He just likes the same mug. Yeah, he's like to vary it around.

He just uses one over and over and over and over and it's weird.

This is the first design I've seen in a while that maybe cringe a bit in a good way. Okay, right, which is a compliment in the world of horror.
