What is up, you spooky bitches? We're back and we have another episode of the Hello

Sydney podcast here, a podcast for horror lovers where we discuss any and all things horror.

And it's me, your girl, Sydney. Happy Friday. Happy mid-April. Like we've already made it halfway

through this month. I feel like it just started. Today's a very special occasion. I actually

wore my sign shirt for the occasion.

If you guys are watching the video episode of this, I wore this specifically.

I recently just got this shirt and I saw it.

My friend Seth actually showed it to me and he's like, we have to get these shirts.

And I'm like, honestly, what better way to overcome my biggest fear than by putting the image on a shirt and just

forcing myself to stare at it? It's called flooding in the world of psychology. That's literally

what we're doing. And it's making me incredibly uneasy to look at. But we're maybe eventually

will be cured. Honestly, I highly doubt it. I have trauma surrounding this whole thing.

Myself, like many other millennials, were absolutely fucked up by this scene and signs. And

this movie came out in 2002. I was seven when it came out. And you guys have probably heard me

tell the story because I've told it so many fucking times. But for those of you who don't know,

I, the reason I got into horror movies was because my dad watched them all the time. So I like always

thought it was normal. And in 2002, when this movie came out, my mom and dad are like, yeah,

let's go have a family movie night. And my dad picks the movie and it signs. And we go into the theater.

And this movie's rated PG-13 as pretty much every M-night Shamelon movie is. It's rated PG-13. So you're like, how scary,

how traumatizing could it be for a seven-year-old? So they bring me into this theater and my life

changed that day. Like I'm literally not even being dramatic. Like this scene specifically when the alien pops out from behind the bush, like I have

never been the same.
