| 0s | I'm not that scared of Jason, you know, I'm |
| 3s | scared of like the spindly dude. |
| 8s | Hey, what's up? I'm Jordan Peele and I'm about |
| 9s | to nerd out on horror movies. Let's go. |
| 12s | The first horror movie that really got |
| 16s | me was The Fly. So, so scary, so |
| 21s | inappropriate for how old I was, and yet |
| 25s | I was able to watch it and understand it |
| 28s | and by the end I felt less scared than I |
| 31s | did before watching it, so that's how I |
| 33s | knew the power of horror. So many good |
| 35s | horror soundtracks and themes. Nightmare |
| 39s | on Elm Street theme is just - it just gets |
| 42s | |
| 49s | It's like - oh! Just perfect, uh - note choice |
| 54s | progression. The B horror movie, |
| 58s | Critters, in - in retrospect, fairly bad, |
| 61s | but again, it gave me a wrong sort of |
| 64s | feeling. Those little things or so |
| 67s | mischievous and so evil. They had the |
| 70s | evil-ass faces. The scariest villain? I'm |
| 74s | gonna say... I'm gonna say Michael Myers. |
| 77s | He's not even evil, he's just curious. You |
| 80s | know you can't talk him out of whatever |
| 83s | he wants to do and he always did that - |
| 85s | that thing where he'd stab somebody and |
| 88s | he'd sort of turn his head like that, |
| 89s | which is the, you know, the international |
| 92s | symbol for, "Fascinating." If I were |
| 96s | assembling an Avengers-style motley crew, |
| 99s | I'd get Freddy in there, I get Candyman |
| 103s | in there, one of the little balls - |
| 105s | silver balls from Phantasm. You gotta |
| 107s | throw Chucky in there so you get like, |
| 109s | you know, the shapes, and then one of the |
| 112s | Graboids from Tremors. They would all |
| 115s | ride it. The visual tropes that I'm not |
| 120s | into? Dark, scuzzy houses. Like, I like - |
| 126s | I like when when horror movies take place |
| 127s | in my idyllic places. There's something |
| 130s | like the Overlook Hotel. Should be good. |
| 134s | This is - it's welcoming, it's nice, it's |
| 137s | beautiful, it's extravagant. That's |
| 138s | what really scares me. My favorite horror |
| 142s | movie trope is everyday objects used as |
| 144s | weapons . You pick up a nail gun or a |
| 147s | hammer or a pitchfork like it's - it's |
| 153s | improvised weapons. There's something |
| 155s | about that that's a perfect horror |
| 158s | trope. The "final girl" I most identify |
| 161s | with has got to be Jada Pinkett in |
| 164s | Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight. She's |
| 167s | black. She's like - like the first black |
| 172s | final girl that I can remember. |
| 175s | All-time touchstone horror movie |
| 178s | performance? Shelly Duvall, |
| 181s | The Shining. Perfect. The scariest person in |
| 184s | the movie is the good guy. She did a |
| 188s | perfect job of committing to the fear |
| 191s | and from that brought the - the horror to |
| 195s | the movie. Shelley Duvall, shoutout. |
