Hey, it's Waters and the Waters Wake Up Call.
Thank you for tuning in this Fright Day morning.
When we were talking monster movies,
I think the best monster movie is the classic Wolf Man.
With, uh, what, Lawn Chaney Jr.?
Lawn
Chaney Jr., yeah.
Even a man who is pure at heart and says his prayers by night may become a wolf when the wolf bane blooms and the autumn moon is bright.
I can barely speak and the chills down my spine.
It's- oh my god.
I'll tell you, there's something about those old classic movies.
They don't have the CGI and all the effects, but they're so much creepier.
You know what it was?
It was the music.
And there's something about the black and white.
Yes,
absolutely.
The original Frankenstein and the original Dracula.
Creepy.
And then you have the
creature from the black lagoon.
The creature from the blue lagoon.
You mean Brooke Shields.
Yeah.
She was the creature from the blue lagoon.
Who was the actor with her?
I don't remember
her name.
Oh, it was Christopher.
I have no idea.
It doesn't matter.
Unless he's listening, then he does.
But other than that, he does not matter.
He was one of the few people I never went to kindergarten with.
The shame on you.
You should remember his name.
That poor guy.
Nobody knows him anymore.
Even the guy who went to kindergarten with him.
He has no idea.
Totally
and completely.
Yeah, yeah, and
I never saw that movie.
What'd she do?
Did she like rip his head off or how did this creature of the blue lagoon do her dirty work?
You remember?
That's
how most of those work, I think.
I'm kidding.
I'm kidding, of course.
She got pregnant.
That was the perfect answer though, Tim.
That was the perfect answer.
But werewolf, that werewolf one, the newer one that I like the most is American Werewolf in London.
I thought that was a really good movie.
Oh, jeez.
Yeah,
still 40 years later.
When I first saw it, I saw him and the Dr. Pepper jingle just kept going through my head and then I'll tell you, he kills that pretty quickly.
Don't you
remember?
He was the Dr. Pepper guy.
I'm a pepper.
He's a pepper.
She's a pepper.
With you, Dr. Pepper.
I don't remember.
Yeah, he was the guy.
He was like a pied piper.
It looked like all these people following him and they were singing the Dr. Pepper thing.
Well,
I remember him skipping around during the commercial, but gosh, I can't remember his face.
Anyway.
Yeah, it was him.
David Naughton.
And then, let us not forget the transformation scene on Thriller.
Well, sure.
He turns into a wolf man with the fuzzy ears.
But it's funny because John Landis, who directed American Werewolf, also directed that video.
Oh, I've forgotten
about that.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're
absolutely right.
And I think they asked him because he had done American Werewolf in London.
Everything's connected, man.
Everything's connected.
That's right.
We just connected Lon
Cheney Jr.
to the Dr.
Pepper guy to Brooke Shields.
Oh my god.
I don't know how Kevin Bacon didn't show up in all of this, but...
Yes.
Yes.
The Peter Boyle monster.
Sounds
to me like you're a big fan of Frankensteins that aren't called Frankenstein.
Then, finally, at the
end, he
says...
Yes, my name is Frankenstein.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's
right at the end.
Oh, I just watched it last weekend.
Did you?
Oh, I watched it at least once a year, if not more.
Yeah.
I would say Annabelle.
Oh, Annabelle, that's from, oh, I've seen it.
Is it the Conjuring?
Yep,
the Conjuring movies,
yes.
Yeah, the little doll, Annabelle.
Oh, dolls just creep me out anyway.
Oh, yeah, dolls and clowns, you know, supposed to be very kid-friendly, right?
Nope.
Right, no
way.
Yeah, and my wife always wondered why I never wanted to go into the kid's room.
Scary.
You know, there's dolls, but the older ones are really creepy.
You know, every
seems to be more creepy like you know years ago you look at pictures and if they're old pictures they always look creepy like if you if you ever Google kids masks from the like say 20s or turn of the century and you will see some just the creepiest masks way scarier than the mask that even Michael Myers is wearing
while we're made by with paper mache
yeah
wicked very
wicked
We need to bring in, I think...
clown in it.
Yeah,
Pennywise.
Yeah, Pennywise.
Yeah.
You know, we got to go with Christine and Kujo, but the book versions are always the most scarier.
Those movies are nothing compared to the book.
There's something about Stephen King's writing.
And when you're picturing it in your head, and it does, it gets that motion picture that's rolling in your head as you're reading the book.
Yeah, the movie never, never matches up.
No, I mean, I was really disappointed with the first hit that came out after I'd read the book.
And
Well, it was made for
TV, so I mean it was really tame.
guess it was yeah
yeah maybe maybe we just need to throw Stephen King in there considering what he writes everything's scary I
think he may be the most wicked Stephen King yeah you know I mean what what happens in that guy's brain he's such a prolific horror writer 45 years I think 45 years ago he published Carrie and since then he's
uh
he's written what a million and three books
Oh, yeah, I forgot about Carrie.
Oh,
yeah.
You know, you know, I've not heard that he was dyslexic, so maybe that's part of how he gets to such creativity.
Maybe.
Maybe.
But you know, he
does.
He does
crank ACDC as he writes.
Yes.
Sky
blue water.
Happy fright day.
Now, to me, Alien.
In the first movie or the second movie, Alien or Aliens?
I'm going to go with Alien because it was the first time.
Well, to
see it pop out of some guy's chest, that's
where
Pop goes the alien.
Good God.
In space, nobody can hear you scream, but in the movie theater, that's another story.
Okay.
Yes.
music.
There was a couple of girls that were behind us.
They had one of them great big boxes of popcorn.
The next thing you know is snowing out popcorn.
Weekday mornings, 5 30 to
10.
