15
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:53.719
Today, I'm playing the full Halloween Horror Night's presentation from

16
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:57.479
Midsommer Scream for you. Yes, I've been holding on to

17
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:00.600
this recording for quite a while because Minsimmer's Green was

18
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:03.000
at the very end of July, but we wanted to

19
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:05.560
make it fit into the Haunted On, and most of

20
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:09.280
the presentation really outlines the details for Texas Chainsaw Masker

21
00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:12.760
and Universal Monsters mazes. So whether you've been to the

22
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:17.079
event already or not, the presentation gives you insights into

23
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:20.040
the design and the details that go into the mazes.

24
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:22.799
So I don't think it's a problem if you've been

25
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:25.280
to it or not. I think actually, for me having

26
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:27.760
been to it and listening to it, it really makes

27
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:31.000
me remember some details that I looked over as I.

28
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:31.879
Was going through the maze.

29
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:35.200
So in this presentation, we're going to start right off

30
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:37.599
at the beginning, where you hear John Murdy on stage.

31
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:40.480
You hear the crowd chanting Berty's name as he comes

32
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:43.879
on stage, and then he launches into it. Okay, here

33
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:54.120

Out of the game here, Yeah, Texas this coming.

55
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:49.199
Now, I know what you're thinking. Has Texas Chainsaw Massacre

56
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:53.560
ever been featured Halloween Hornet's in the past, Yes, it has.

57
00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:56.759
What we're gonna take you through today and I'm gonna

58
00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:59.560
do a deep dive into Texas Chainsaw Massaer the legacy

59
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:03.319
of leather. This is an all new experience. I'm gonna

60
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:03.960
show you why.

61
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:12.240
But first the show with the history lesson, So Texas

62
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:14.800
chance On Massacre goes all the way back to the

63
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:17.480
very beginning of our era of Halloween Hornites.

64
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:20.160
It was one of the first intellectual properties that we

65
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:22.680
featured at our events. In two thousand and seven, we

66
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:25.639
did Texas Change I'm Asker back in Business. Anybody see this,

67
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:29.759
anyone in the crowd around back then, A lot of

68
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.040
you who saw that original house that it was the

69
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:36.720
scariest house that we ever produced. Is that true? Okay?

70
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:40.279
So that's the bar, right, that's the bar. We knew

71
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:42.519
we had to top ourselves. But we did it into

72
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:44.959
two thousand and seven. It actually wasn't based on the

73
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:47.079
original Texas Chance I'm Masacer. It was based on the

74
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:49.800
two thousand and three remake. So in two thousand and

75
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:54.279
eight we did the exact same thing because we did

76
00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:56.480
that back then, you know, back when I first started

77
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:59.439
doing Halloween Hornites. I came from Universal Creative, from doing

78
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:02.160
like Ryan It's like Revenge of a Mummy. And then

79
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:06.160
we took this and celebrates its twentieth anniversary this year.

80
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:11.879
We took my Halloween horn ice, you know, the first years,

81
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:13.680
and we're doing it, and we were like, oh cool,

82
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:16.079
everybody like that, Let's just do it again. So in

83
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:18.800
two thousand and eight we did text Chansaw Masker back

84
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:23.279
at Business, exact same house, and then four years went

85
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:27.560
by and then In twenty twelve we did Texas Chainsaw Massacer.

86
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:30.480
The saw is the law. That's the first house we

87
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:33.879
did based on the original nineteen seventy four classic film,

88
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:39.360
quick personal story. You see the scene. What's the scene, Yeah,

89
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:42.920
the dining room, the dinner table scene. That particular year,

90
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:46.160
I brought my father in law and my mother in

91
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:48.959
law from Ireland to Halloween Haardites for the first time.

92
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:52.439
When we got to the scene, the path goes around

93
00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:56.199
to the left. My father in law he'd never been

94
00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:58.680
in a hotted house. He went around to the right

95
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:01.600
and he sat down and at the chair and he

96
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:05.600
just started chatting up Grandpa and the poor performers, like

97
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:08.800
what the hell's going on? And then leather Face came

98
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:10.720
running into the room with a chainsaw and my mother

99
00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:14.279
in law tried to smack it, and I'm like, no, no,

100
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:17.439
you can't do this. But in twenty twelve, that's the

101
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:20.879
first time we did the original chansaw on Massacre. And

102
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:28.399
then twenty sixteen, four years later, you see the trends

103
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:32.199
starting to develop here calling you conspiracy theorists in the house,

104
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:36.920
we did Texas Chainsaw Massacre Blood Brothers, and this was different.

105
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:40.959
We took the idea was we took the first film

106
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:43.480
in the second film, and we created our own sequel

107
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:46.079
that lived between the first film and the second film.

108
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:48.439
And to this day, this house holds the record for

109
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:51.480
being the only haunted house ever in the history of America.

110
00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:57.240
That probably featured the President Jerald Ford in the opening scene.

111
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:00.920
And then in twenty and seventeen it's title to Terror.

112
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:07.439
We'll we mask up Leather Base, Freddy and Jason. And

113
00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:11.879
then four years later, in twenty twenty one, we went

114
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:15.079
back to the original Texas Chansa on Massacar. Now, I

115
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:17.240
mentioned at the beginning that this is all new, this

116
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:20.439
is all different. Why did we decide to do Texas

117
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:25.360
Chance on Massacer in twenty twenty four the anniversary? This

118
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:30.720
is what In twenty twenty four, it is the fiftieth

119
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:33.759
anniversary of this historic franchise. Now, maybe you guys love

120
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:38.480
Texas Chance on mascar Okay. If I was gonna make

121
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:44.000
a Mount Rushmore for horror, which somebody should do, maybe

122
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:46.360
one of you one day we'll do this, I would

123
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:50.120
put Leather Base for sure as one of the foreheads

124
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:53.720
on the Mount Rushmore Horror. That's what this franchise means

125
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:57.040
to the whole genre of horror. This is the fiftieth

126
00:07:57.079 --> 00:08:00.399
anniversary of that historic franchise. So the people that we've

127
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:02.920
always dealt with over the years on Texas Chainsaw Massacre,

128
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:12.079
they came to me and they pitched me this idea.

129
00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:15.000
Why this is what they said. They said, why don't

130
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:19.879
you take a multiverse approach to this classic franchise right?

131
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:23.319
And I'm went, now, yes, let's do that. That's awesome,

132
00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:29.399
Let's do a multiverse approach. And then I patent because

133
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:32.240
I had no idea how to do that. So what

134
00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:34.000
did I do? I do what I always do. I

135
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:35.799
went back to the film, even though I've seen it

136
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:39.840
a million times, I started researching the film, and this

137
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:43.240
particular line was the seed for everything I'm going to

138
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:46.039
share you right now. There, you know the scene, right,

139
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:49.600
he so idyllic. The summer afternoon, there's a group of

140
00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:53.360
teenagers driving in a van. They're driving through Morto County, Texas,

141
00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:56.240
and they see this dude in the distance waving and

142
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:59.600
jumping up and down, and they decide, what you should

143
00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:02.240
never do horror movie, don't ever do this in real life.

144
00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:04.440
They decided, oh, what is that crazy guy? Let's let

145
00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:07.000
him in our car. Let's give him a ride, and

146
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:10.360
he says these lines. My family has always been in meet.

147
00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:17.279
What's he talking about the slaughterhouse? He says, oh, there was.

148
00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:20.240
You know, I used to work at the slaughterhouse, and

149
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:24.240
my brother did and my grandpa, and I thought to myself,

150
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:28.080
you never see that in the original film they talk

151
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:32.960
about the slaughterhouse, that you never see it. So what

152
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:36.200
we decided to do was to create an alternate timeline.

153
00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:38.559
This is where it gets real heavy, Okay, so follow me.

154
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:42.919
We decided to create an alternate timeline that runs parallel

155
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:45.559
to the events of the nineteen seventy four film, but

156
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:49.320
that takes place entirely at this location. You've never been

157
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:52.480
to the slaughterhouse. Because if I know the Sawyer family

158
00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:56.120
from Texas James On Massacre, which I do, I know

159
00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:58.799
that if there's a slaughterhouse that they all used to

160
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:02.200
work at has been sent they're abandoned, they're probably doing

161
00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:06.159
something with it, right, So that meant in research, I

162
00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:11.039
needed to learn everything I possibly could about slaughterhouses and

163
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:13.759
meat productions. So that was the next phase of my research.

164
00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:17.840
I don't recommend this, by the way, this messed me up.

165
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:22.600
I spent hours and hours and hours researching slaughterhouses. In fact,

166
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:24.639
this is the first treatment I've ever written that I

167
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:27.639
had to put a disclaimer on the cover page, like

168
00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:29.799
a warning to any of our team members that we're

169
00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:31.559
going to read this. And if all of you who

170
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:33.559
work at Halligan ornez so hear, you know I'm telling

171
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:36.759
the truth right right on the front page, big huge letters.

172
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:39.840
In fact, most of my research imagery I can't even

173
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:42.080
show you. I didn't put it in the deck because

174
00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:49.399
it's really, really, really awful. So now it's time for

175
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:52.200
a slightly longer history lesson than the one we had before.

176
00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:57.120
It starts with this date, December twenty fifth, eighteen sixty five.

177
00:10:57.159 --> 00:11:00.200
Does anybody have any idea what that date happen to

178
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:03.919
do with anything besides the fact that it's Christmas? Jenniferth

179
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:10.639
the Union Stockyard at Chicago opened its doors for the

180
00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:14.879
first time. So back of before there was this place

181
00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:20.200
people like to slaughter their animals on the farm, right,

182
00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:25.159
everything was done locally. But in eighteen sixty five they

183
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:29.000
opened this place, the Chicago Stockyards, and they had a

184
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:31.639
bunch of trains that came to the same point, so

185
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:34.320
they were able to bring all these cattles and pigs

186
00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:37.559
in and then after a little bit of time. Originally

187
00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:39.639
it was just a cattle mart, but then this gentleman

188
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:43.960
with the crazy sidebirds came along. This is Philip Danforth Armor,

189
00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:47.919
and what he was the creator or innovator of was

190
00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:51.159
the assembly line. In fact, before Henry Ford ever builds

191
00:11:51.159 --> 00:11:54.360
an automobile, he got the idea from this dude, Philip

192
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:58.039
Danforth Armor. Do you recognize the name? Anybody as old

193
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:02.279
as me? And the house bought dug so I remember hotdogs?

194
00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:04.840
Can you remember that commercial? We saw this commercial constantly

195
00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:09.279
when we're kids. This guy built the first mechanized meat

196
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:13.759
processing plant after Chicago Stockyards, and he created what is

197
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:18.360
known as the disassembly line. So the animals go in

198
00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:20.639
and then piece by piece by piece by piece by

199
00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:24.480
piece by piece, they get disassembled. Right now, will The

200
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:27.480
Danford Armor was famous for this quote. He said that

201
00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:30.519
he used everything but the squeal and this is just

202
00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:33.159
some of the stuff that they made out of everything

203
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:35.600
that went into the slaughterhouse, everything from chewing down to

204
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:39.600
chess pieces. But like all great industrialists, he had a rival,

205
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:43.519
this gentleman who Stavis Franklin Swift he built a slaughterhouse

206
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:46.679
and a meat processing plant right next to armors plants.

207
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:49.399
But he had another idea. He was the inventor of

208
00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:53.000
the ice cooled railcar. So now they could use the

209
00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:56.480
railroad to transport meat all over the country, and that

210
00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:01.080
changed everything. This is from the night. This is the

211
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:04.240
same place. Now is huge. World War two is going on.

212
00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:07.759
They need to feed all these soldiers. A fueled America's

213
00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:11.279
obsession with meat, because back in the days before this,

214
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:14.440
it was really rare that you ate meat for dinner, right,

215
00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:17.360
that would be like a treat. But because they have

216
00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:20.320
the refrigerated train cars, they can transport meat all over

217
00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:23.200
the country. And you can even see the propaganda posters

218
00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:25.720
from World War two. They were like meat, it's the

219
00:13:25.799 --> 00:13:29.120
meal for a healthy defense. Now, this of course led

220
00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:32.720
to what it always leads to in these situations, environmental disaster.

221
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:36.840
So that first picture on the left, that's what they

222
00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:40.720
call the backyards of the Chicago Stockyards. This is where

223
00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:44.159
all the employees lived, and that's what they lived in

224
00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:46.639
industrial waste. You see that guy standing in the middle

225
00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:50.240
of the river, that's Chicago River. They pumped fifty thousand

226
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:54.320
gallons of wastewater from the slaughterhouse into the river every

227
00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:57.559
single day, and it turned into what they call Bubbly Creek.

228
00:13:57.720 --> 00:14:00.519
All the noxious fumes in there, they all bubbled to

229
00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:04.000
the surface of the creek was constantly bubbling, and there

230
00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:06.200
was so much sludge on the surface of the tree

231
00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:10.639
that you could literally stand on it. Now, after this,

232
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:14.480
you know environmentalists like Upton Sinclair who the famous book

233
00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:17.720
in the Jungle. He started criticizing everything that was going

234
00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:20.200
on and brought a lot of attention to it. And

235
00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:24.000
shortly after that, after World War Two, the freeways were built.

236
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:27.799
They changed from a refrigerated rail cars to refrigerated trucks

237
00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:30.159
that could transport they meet around. It no longer became

238
00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:34.080
necessary to have a slaughterhouse in a big city like Chicago, right,

239
00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:38.639
So eventually that led to decline and by the early

240
00:14:38.679 --> 00:14:42.080
seventies this place was gone. It was completely demolished, and

241
00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:46.320
people started building slaughterhouses way off the beaten path, away

242
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:53.080
from big cities, in rural places like Moredo County, Texas.

243
00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:56.559
And this is where it beautifully dovetails into the events

244
00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:59.039
of Texas jats on massacre. Do you know the state

245
00:14:59.159 --> 00:15:03.919
August eighteenth, nineteen seventy three. That's the beginning of Texas

246
00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:06.519
Chainsaw Massacre. That's the day it takes place on off.

247
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:10.159
So what we decided to do was to take everything

248
00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:14.120
I just showed you and apply that to Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

249
00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:17.559
This is the key art for the attraction. Here's your

250
00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:20.279
social media. I don't like to take that, couldn't want

251
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:28.639
to hear it and say you were first. I had

252
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:31.480
to come up with a way to tell this backstory, right,

253
00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:35.480
So I wrote a script for Nevin Sawyer, also sometimes

254
00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:39.120
referred to as the Hitchhiker. I didn't voice it, but

255
00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:41.120
I'm gonna do it for you, so you get the idea.

256
00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:42.799
This is how we're gonna set up the experience. Do

257
00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:44.840
you guys like when we have a live character out

258
00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:49.440
in front of the facade, Well, it's not nothingness, but

259
00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:51.399
i'll show you what it is in the second But

260
00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:53.720
you hear his voice while you're waiting in line, and

261
00:15:53.799 --> 00:16:00.519
he says this, my family's always been meat. We sitting

262
00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:05.559
to work at the slaughterhouse, all us Sawyers, me, my brothers,

263
00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:10.480
Grandpa too. He was the best killer that ever there was.

264
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:14.639
But the police got shot down one account of them.

265
00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:21.000
Government contracts drying up after the wars, he was destitute.

266
00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:25.559
But you can always find meat if it in nowhere

267
00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:29.840
to look. Animals here from the road, by their trunks

268
00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:34.080
passing through seek one's farmers put down. But when they

269
00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:39.039
moved the mean road, meat got harder to find. My

270
00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:42.519
brothers and I tried, thinking someone from the graveyard, but

271
00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:49.240
the people wasn't dying fast enough. Like I said, my

272
00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:53.919
family's always been in meat, and if there's meat to

273
00:16:54.000 --> 00:17:03.360
be had, the sawyers will find it. I think I

274
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:06.960
just ripped, like you know, chop talk. I think I

275
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:09.599
switched from like the hitchhiker to chop top halfway through.

276
00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:13.039
What thank you appreciate that? So this is the facade.

277
00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:16.200
The facade is the abandoned slaughterhouse. It's been sitting empty

278
00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:19.519
for a couple of decades, ever since the contracts dried up.

279
00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:25.599
After World War Two Korea, they closed, was surrounded by fences,

280
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:29.160
but the sawyers took it back over again. Why because

281
00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:32.880
they can conceal all the things they're doing from the authorities.

282
00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:36.359
So while you're waiting in line, getting ready to enter

283
00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:40.599
the slaughterhouse, you're hearing that voiceover that I was just doing.

284
00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:45.359
And then this guy walks in. This is leather Face

285
00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:48.720
from a twenty and seventeen film called leather Face, a prequel.

286
00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:51.400
He's got a big cow head over his own. And

287
00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:53.519
that's what we're doing with his house. We are going

288
00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:57.480
to do every iteration of leather Face from all nine

289
00:17:57.519 --> 00:18:02.000
films in the franchise. We're bringing them all together. So

290
00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:07.200
he comes out and he's looking at you and he's

291
00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:10.920
sizeing you up, and then he starts kind of gesturing

292
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:14.200
to you with one hand, and then he turns around

293
00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:16.200
and you see you on the back. He's got the

294
00:18:16.200 --> 00:18:20.039
words followed written in blood. And then he walks back

295
00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:23.480
through the steel door that he came through, and you

296
00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:29.480
have to follow him. Now. One of the creative challenges

297
00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:31.240
is was, Okay, so we're going to take all these

298
00:18:31.240 --> 00:18:33.359
different iterations of leather Face, We're going to have him

299
00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:35.960
in one house, But how is that going to make sense?

300
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:38.160
So again I went back to the original nineteen seventy

301
00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:40.480
four film. Do you guys knowe Gunnar Hassen who played

302
00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:45.279
leather Face. Well, I read a bunch of interviews with him,

303
00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:48.920
and when he was doing the original role, he described

304
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:51.759
Leatherface in this way. He said he had no personality

305
00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:53.880
of his own, and that's why he asked to wear

306
00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:57.799
the different skin faces, the masks, And he wears different

307
00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:00.960
masks depending on what he's doing. So if you think

308
00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:03.079
of the original film, he wears the killing mask when

309
00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:06.079
he's out chasing people, when he's hunting, he wears the

310
00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:09.119
pretty lady mask with the makeup. When it's the formal

311
00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:12.240
occasion like the dining room singing, and he wears the

312
00:19:12.279 --> 00:19:14.880
old grandma mask, the old lady mask when he's stuck

313
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:17.720
in the kitchen with the old man washing dishes. He

314
00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:21.200
just takes on a different mask for whatever job he's

315
00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:23.319
doing it. So it occurred to me, that's what we're

316
00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:26.039
going to do with this house. All these different iterations

317
00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:28.240
of leather face are going to represent all the different

318
00:19:28.319 --> 00:19:30.119
jobs that you would do on the slaughterhouse. So I

319
00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:34.599
study slaughterhouses, you know, endlessly, and looked at all the

320
00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:37.359
different steps of the disassembly line, all the different roles

321
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:39.839
that you would need, and assign different roles to different

322
00:19:39.880 --> 00:19:42.680
leather faces and the members of the Sawyer family. But

323
00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:44.359
the first thing you're going to see when you step

324
00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:47.000
through the front door and his leather faces, collection of

325
00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:50.640
skin faces and then you're going to go into the

326
00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:52.880
holding pan, because that would always be the first room

327
00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:55.400
in a slaughterhouse. That's where you gather all the animals together.

328
00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:58.119
In this case is where you gather all the humans together.

329
00:19:58.599 --> 00:20:01.559
And the first character of other fis you're gonna see

330
00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:05.079
is the classic nineteen seventy four killing masks chainsawing through

331
00:20:05.079 --> 00:20:07.400
a door, busting into the room and chasing you on

332
00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:12.400
into the animal shoots. And this is real slaughter house.

333
00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:14.400
It's like one of the few pictures I can actually

334
00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:19.119
show you for my research. You notice how there's all

335
00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:23.640
these like twists in turns that was done intentionally in slaughterhouses.

336
00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:25.680
They found out really early on if it was just

337
00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:28.200
a straight line, the animals would go and then it

338
00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:31.200
would stop, and then they wouldn't go any further. So

339
00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:33.559
that's why there's always twists, because you don't know what's

340
00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:36.920
coming around the corner. Right, Curdin De means the exact

341
00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:39.920
same philosophy with building added houses. We've been doing this

342
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:42.960
for years. We always are like, let's have lots of

343
00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:45.559
twists and turns. It's like an animal pen because you

344
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:48.680
don't know what's coming around the corner. But in this case,

345
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:52.680
what's coming around the corner is what they called in

346
00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:58.359
the slaughterhouses the prodder and the stunner. And in this case,

347
00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:02.599
the prodter is on top. He's just back from Vietnam.

348
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:05.119
He still got his army jacket on. He's gonna have

349
00:21:05.160 --> 00:21:08.119
a cattle produ and he's gonna be prodding you to

350
00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:10.240
the stunner, which in this case is gonna be leather

351
00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:12.799
Faced from the two thousand and three remake. He's up

352
00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:15.400
on a platform. He's got a big sledgehammer, so chop

353
00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:18.440
top setting them up. Leather Face is knocking them down.

354
00:21:20.079 --> 00:21:21.759
That takes you to the next room we call the

355
00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:24.920
killing floor. And this is another weird thing I came

356
00:21:24.920 --> 00:21:27.960
across from my research. This is actually a postcard that

357
00:21:28.319 --> 00:21:31.799
people bought from the Chicago Stockyards. Believe it or not.

358
00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:34.359
His place was a chorist attraction. It was like the

359
00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:37.599
first theme park. Thousands and thousands of people went there

360
00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:41.119
to get guided tours every day of the slaughterhouse. It

361
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:44.119
sounds insane, like who would do that today? But this

362
00:21:44.160 --> 00:21:47.559
one guy invented something called the Herford wheel, which is

363
00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:49.559
a way to get the animals up into the air

364
00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:52.079
and onto the disassembly line. So we decided to build

365
00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:55.680
our own. But we also have this giant mound of

366
00:21:55.759 --> 00:21:58.279
corpses when you come in, and seated on top of

367
00:21:58.279 --> 00:22:03.359
the corpses is Grandpa on his bone throat, and the

368
00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:05.759
original film they talk about how great he was, how

369
00:22:05.759 --> 00:22:08.359
he could kill all these you know, cattle and you know,

370
00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:10.359
and they would he could have killed more if the

371
00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:13.319
cooking pool guys could get the beaves out of the way.

372
00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:18.319
So this is our cast from the killing room. He'd

373
00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:20.920
have Grandpa. He's up on his bone throat. He's whacking

374
00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:24.480
Bunny Foo Foo on the head with a mallet. But

375
00:22:24.559 --> 00:22:27.759
it's not Bunny, you see. Don't worry to him. That

376
00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:33.000
makes it okay. Down below is Dubbins or the hitchhiker,

377
00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:36.200
protting him on and then leather facing this seed is

378
00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:38.480
banning clean up and he's going to be in the

379
00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:41.519
pretty woman mask from the nineteen seventy four film. And

380
00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:44.920
then that takes you. I didn't even show you these pictures.

381
00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:47.880
They're so disgusting. But they had these huge boiling vats

382
00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:50.960
and slaughterhouses, and that was to boil the animals to

383
00:22:50.960 --> 00:22:53.119
make the hair and skin more pliable so they could

384
00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:56.920
be removed. So we thought, well, the sawyers aren't that

385
00:22:57.000 --> 00:22:59.880
high tech, right, so they wouldn't have huge boiling vats.

386
00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:03.400
They just take you know, steel drums, you know, light

387
00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:06.799
a fire underneath, pop a corpse in it, call it

388
00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:10.920
a day. So in this scene we meet the domestics.

389
00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:14.559
So it's the old man on one side and leather

390
00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:18.559
Face from Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the next generation, this weird

391
00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:21.839
version of the old woman mask that exists in that film.

392
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:25.440
And the old man is yelling at leather Face, leather Face,

393
00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:31.000
stop yacking at them girls. There being sneeze turning, and

394
00:23:31.039 --> 00:23:33.640
they're on either side of you. You're in the middle.

395
00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:35.720
They both have paddles they want to whack you with

396
00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:39.519
and they drive you into the skinning room. Now, this

397
00:23:39.640 --> 00:23:41.440
is always a classic scene we like to do with

398
00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:44.200
Texas chance On Massacre. We call it the face peel.

399
00:23:44.359 --> 00:23:47.079
Do you guys know what I'm talking about? So in

400
00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:49.759
this scene we take leather Face from the two thousand

401
00:23:49.799 --> 00:23:53.640
and six prequel to the remake, Texas Chansaw Massacre. At

402
00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:56.680
the beginning where he's wearing that weird leather mask, he's

403
00:23:56.680 --> 00:23:58.640
got a meat cleaver in one hand and he is

404
00:23:58.799 --> 00:24:01.839
chopping a guy who'd just referred to as the meat.

405
00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:05.319
He's chopping his legs into mince meat, and he's taking

406
00:24:05.640 --> 00:24:08.680
a skinning knife and he's cutting along his chin line

407
00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:13.519
and slowly peeling his face off. Then we take you

408
00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:16.480
into a transition mode we simply call the Hallway of Horrors,

409
00:24:16.640 --> 00:24:19.200
where you have to walk through skinned bodies. And when

410
00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:21.359
I say you have to walk through skinned bodies, I

411
00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:24.279
don't mean bodies with their skin removed. I mean the

412
00:24:24.359 --> 00:24:28.799
skin itself. You have to walk through their skin. Man,

413
00:24:28.799 --> 00:24:32.480
There's a surprise waiting for you at the end, and

414
00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:35.680
I'm not gonna tell you what it is, because this

415
00:24:35.759 --> 00:24:38.880
is something new we invented just for this house, and

416
00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:46.160
I think we will just leave it at that. Another

417
00:24:46.279 --> 00:24:48.720
role in the Slaughterhouse, and it was always described as

418
00:24:48.759 --> 00:24:51.559
the worst job, is what they call the squeechee man.

419
00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:54.240
So one guy would have a hose, the other guy

420
00:24:54.279 --> 00:24:57.920
would have a broom, and they would just sweep the

421
00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:04.480
zoo everything on the floor. Okay, And I shouldn't mention

422
00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:07.799
when they had the Chicago stockyards when they were building him,

423
00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:11.079
when they had the original armored plant and the swift Plant,

424
00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:14.880
there were no bathrooms. Just expected to go wherever they could.

425
00:25:16.640 --> 00:25:18.759
So these guys had to sweep all that up and

426
00:25:18.839 --> 00:25:20.640
push it down the drains and then it would be

427
00:25:20.720 --> 00:25:24.359
dumped into the river. So we decided for our scene

428
00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:28.480
that terrible Job would be assigned to chop Top because

429
00:25:28.480 --> 00:25:32.079
he's always pissed about something, and chop Top is going

430
00:25:32.160 --> 00:25:35.240
to be screaming at his brother leather face the face,

431
00:25:35.279 --> 00:25:39.480
you idiot, you comed up the works again. Get down

432
00:25:39.519 --> 00:25:43.440
here and chee all the strings wrapping. This is a

433
00:25:43.480 --> 00:25:49.200
water sea. You've seen our water seeds, right, So he

434
00:25:49.799 --> 00:25:52.880
is pouring in through these big drains, filling up the

435
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:57.079
floor with not really water. It's kind of like stew.

436
00:25:58.319 --> 00:26:03.880
It's like body's in it and thing and it's bubbling

437
00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:08.599
and it's using and his smells delightful. Do you guys

438
00:26:08.599 --> 00:26:13.559
think Extras has smelled bad last time? I apologize in

439
00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:20.079
advance for the fact sensation you are all gonna experience. No,

440
00:26:20.519 --> 00:26:27.319
And I don't know you're cheering. Yes, he love bath smells.

441
00:26:28.480 --> 00:26:31.480
Chop Top is pushing an old cart that he's got

442
00:26:31.519 --> 00:26:35.079
a collection of, just slopped and some stuff that he's

443
00:26:35.079 --> 00:26:37.920
been picking up off the slaughterhouse floor and jumping into

444
00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:39.480
the water and trying to get it to go down

445
00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:41.880
the drains. We call it the Nubbins cart because it's

446
00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:46.599
a special effect Geno Nubbens his little corpse puppet that

447
00:26:46.599 --> 00:26:48.920
he carries around in Texas chains On mask or two.

448
00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:51.039
You know, there's a surprise with him, and we'll have

449
00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:55.039
to wait to see it. Where you go? But while

450
00:26:55.400 --> 00:26:58.200
chop Top is screaming, leather Face comes into the scene

451
00:26:58.240 --> 00:26:59.759
to chase you out of the room and how of

452
00:26:59.799 --> 00:27:02.799
this waterhouse altogether. And that's gonna be leather Faced from

453
00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:08.240
Texas Chainsaw Massacre two. Now at this point, you're outside,

454
00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:10.839
you're on the loading dock. You've left this. You've finally

455
00:27:10.839 --> 00:27:13.599
gotten out of the slaughterhouse. And this is where the

456
00:27:13.640 --> 00:27:16.160
research comes back into play. Remember I was talking about

457
00:27:16.319 --> 00:27:21.799
refrigerated train cars that had ice that kept the meat cool. Yeah,

458
00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:25.480
we'll see the Sawyer family. They're not too handy, they're

459
00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:29.400
not too good with technology, they're not too mechanically inclined.

460
00:27:30.359 --> 00:27:33.440
So there's a generator. It's this horrible rape together generator

461
00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:36.279
that they've used to keep the lights on, but just barely.

462
00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:40.039
But they never really got around to figuring out this

463
00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:45.400
refrigerated train car. Kay, Now you know you're gonna have

464
00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:48.359
to go in there, right. You don't want to go

465
00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:51.440
in there, trust me. But there's gonna be somebody to

466
00:27:51.519 --> 00:27:53.440
make sure you go in there. And that's gonna be

467
00:27:53.519 --> 00:27:56.839
leather Face from Texas chains on Massacre three gow. He

468
00:27:57.000 --> 00:28:00.000
moars up with this chainsaw, drives you inside the refrige.

469
00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:04.880
You're ready to train car. And this is Texas, right.

470
00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:11.039
All of these carcasses have just been sitting there for

471
00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:15.119
a long time in the hot Texas sun. They're not

472
00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:19.400
frozen anymore. They've all defrosted. They're kind of sickly looking,

473
00:28:20.960 --> 00:28:24.359
kind of wet looking. There's maggots all over them. There's

474
00:28:24.440 --> 00:28:28.799
flies buzzing around. You got to walk through that. And

475
00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:31.160
just to make sure you do, we have leather Face

476
00:28:31.240 --> 00:28:33.839
from the most recent version of Texas Jansaw Massa at

477
00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:38.200
the twenty twenty two film to drive you on your way. Now,

478
00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:41.599
when you get out of the refrigerated train car, you're outside,

479
00:28:42.119 --> 00:28:46.039
you're in the woods. You're heading to this weird looking graveyard.

480
00:28:46.039 --> 00:28:49.079
But it's not the graveyard from the original film. It's

481
00:28:49.119 --> 00:28:53.039
the Sawyer Family Graveyard for all the members of the

482
00:28:53.079 --> 00:28:57.440
Sawyer family who lived, worked, and died in this slaughterhouse

483
00:28:58.319 --> 00:29:01.720
because safety isn't a big deal when these places were

484
00:29:01.759 --> 00:29:04.079
run back in the old days. So a whole lot

485
00:29:04.119 --> 00:29:07.200
of them lost limbs, lost arms, they're just flat out died.

486
00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:10.680
They drag them outside, they hammered a couple of boards together,

487
00:29:10.839 --> 00:29:14.680
wrote their name Bubbo's Zedekiah Malakia, stuck it in the

488
00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:17.400
ground and buried them. But then they you know, it's

489
00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:21.759
the Sawyer family. They're weird. So they one night they

490
00:29:21.759 --> 00:29:25.160
went down to the local butcher shop in town and

491
00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:27.960
they stole one of those pig statues that always used

492
00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:29.599
to be in front of butcher shops. They usually had

493
00:29:29.599 --> 00:29:32.079
a pig and he was dressed like a chef. And

494
00:29:32.119 --> 00:29:34.400
they hauled that back to the slaughterhouse and they set

495
00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:36.960
it up like a religious statue, because to the Sawyers,

496
00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:42.039
meat is their god. So it's this weird, freaky cemetery.

497
00:29:42.079 --> 00:29:44.279
You're hearing a chainsaw on the distance, you're hearing a

498
00:29:44.319 --> 00:29:47.480
woman screaming. You're thinking you might recognize that from an

499
00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:51.039
earlier film. But before you get to process that, too

500
00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:54.920
much leather face from Texas Chainsaunt Massacre three D comes

501
00:29:54.920 --> 00:29:57.000
out and drives you on your way. And this is

502
00:29:57.000 --> 00:29:59.599
where the story. I said, we're doing a parallel story

503
00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:02.559
the timeline, but a parallel to the events of the

504
00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:05.839
original nineteen seventy four film. And here's where it connects

505
00:30:06.359 --> 00:30:09.400
all saiden. You find yourself approaching the Sawyer House from

506
00:30:09.400 --> 00:30:12.839
the original Texas chance On Massacre. There's a radio one

507
00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:16.440
inside the house somewhere are playing music, and then suddenly

508
00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:19.200
you hear a news report. Come on, great robbing in

509
00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:21.759
the State of Texas is tonight's top story. And someone

510
00:30:21.839 --> 00:30:26.640
chases the channel, and then out of the darkness, out

511
00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:29.079
of the woods around you, leather Face, the pretty woman

512
00:30:29.160 --> 00:30:32.039
look Again from the nineteen seventy four film, comes racing

513
00:30:32.079 --> 00:30:35.039
at you, drives you inside, and now you're heading towards

514
00:30:35.079 --> 00:30:38.839
that classic steel door from the original film, right back

515
00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:41.920
to the first murder that happens in the film. So

516
00:30:42.119 --> 00:30:44.880
all these things have been happening, were happening right before then,

517
00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:48.640
and now you're confronted with leather Face and the steel door,

518
00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:57.279
and I think we'll leave it there. You know, how many.

519
00:30:57.000 --> 00:30:59.240
Guys like, how many guys.

520
00:30:59.119 --> 00:31:02.519
Love this a film, the original nineteen seventy four Texas

521
00:31:02.559 --> 00:31:06.319
Chas On On story. Yeah, it is. It's like I said,

522
00:31:06.319 --> 00:31:08.359
it's one of the most classic films, and not only

523
00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:11.440
the entire genre of horror, but it's it's you know,

524
00:31:11.559 --> 00:31:14.839
it's a classic film full stop, right. And you look

525
00:31:14.920 --> 00:31:18.160
at this scene, right, this is the classic sunset dance

526
00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:19.960
scene at the end of the movie where he's just

527
00:31:20.519 --> 00:31:22.720
you know, doing his thing with his chainsaw, and you

528
00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:25.200
he's such an icon of horror that we forget what

529
00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:27.559
it looked like when they're making it. That's what it

530
00:31:27.599 --> 00:31:32.000
looked like. These were a bunch of you know, former students,

531
00:31:32.559 --> 00:31:36.640
not in Hollywood, you know, out in Texas making this movie,

532
00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:41.400
low budget horror with their friends in like under degree heat,

533
00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:46.319
working crazy hours, and this group of people made something

534
00:31:46.359 --> 00:31:51.839
that lasted this long. I think that's pretty amazing. Yeah,

535
00:31:51.960 --> 00:31:56.319
and in particular the Bee's Kio general Matter, Kim Hankle,

536
00:31:56.599 --> 00:32:00.200
who wrote co wrote Texas Chance on Massacre, and that

537
00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:02.920
gentleman with the beer, Toby Hooper. Give it up for

538
00:32:03.079 --> 00:32:09.359
Toby Hooper. Toby Hooper co wrote and was the director

539
00:32:09.359 --> 00:32:12.400
of Chance. I'm asking Tobe Hooper in so many ways

540
00:32:12.519 --> 00:32:15.359
was my lentering into horror when I was a little kid,

541
00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:18.559
standing up when my parents thought I was asleep watching

542
00:32:18.640 --> 00:32:21.279
Salem's lot the first time it was aired on TV,

543
00:32:21.880 --> 00:32:24.920
you know, and being terrified. That was Toby Hooper. Toby

544
00:32:24.960 --> 00:32:27.640
made that first horror movie I ever went to in

545
00:32:27.720 --> 00:32:33.559
a theater, pulture guist. Toby Hooper Hoop right, Toby made

546
00:32:33.559 --> 00:32:37.200
some of the most iconic horror movies ever in the

547
00:32:37.240 --> 00:32:42.799
genre of horror. And one thing about Toby is, you know,

548
00:32:42.839 --> 00:32:45.599
people always ask me like, when did you know Horror

549
00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:47.920
Nights in Hollywood? When we guys, you know, when we

550
00:32:48.039 --> 00:32:50.160
brought it back in two thousand and six, when I

551
00:32:50.240 --> 00:32:54.000
was here to stay, that's the moment right there. But

552
00:32:54.079 --> 00:32:57.200
one day, all sudden, Toby Hooper showed up and he

553
00:32:57.319 --> 00:33:00.000
was in our house. And that's him taking pictures of blood.

554
00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:02.640
I have all these pictures. I've been going through the house.

555
00:33:03.000 --> 00:33:05.759
He's like a filmmaker. He's down low taking shots, he's

556
00:33:05.839 --> 00:33:10.279
up high. I've had that moment so many times since then.

557
00:33:10.359 --> 00:33:13.119
Whether it was William freaking you know, calling me up

558
00:33:13.160 --> 00:33:15.240
the first time we did the exercise, taking him through

559
00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:17.160
the house and spending an hour and a half talking

560
00:33:17.160 --> 00:33:19.720
to him about the exercise, or John Landis when we

561
00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:22.640
were doing you know, American World in London, or you know,

562
00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:26.440
Gilvirinklotora with Crimson Peak or you know, Jordan Peel, on

563
00:33:26.599 --> 00:33:29.000
and on and on. I've gotten to do that a lot.

564
00:33:29.480 --> 00:33:32.440
This is the first time I ever saw somebody who

565
00:33:32.480 --> 00:33:35.119
made the movie that we were featuring attend our event.

566
00:33:35.200 --> 00:33:38.079
I've always been grateful to Toby for that. So as

567
00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:41.400
an extra Easter Egg, to pay tribute to these great

568
00:33:41.480 --> 00:33:45.200
gentlemen who created this iconic horror franchise we have named

569
00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:49.279
our slaughter house. But who were handled meat cross and say,

570
00:33:51.880 --> 00:33:57.160
that's that's what telling me and Kim. Of course the Sawyers,

571
00:33:57.200 --> 00:34:00.200
you know, repeated in the Sawyer meats because that's what

572
00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:02.359
they do. Chris and I sat down and we went,

573
00:34:03.240 --> 00:34:07.319
all right, let's try to talk the you know what

574
00:34:07.359 --> 00:34:09.800
we did the first time with Texas chance On mascot.

575
00:34:09.880 --> 00:34:13.239
Let's try to create the scariest, freakiest place you don't

576
00:34:13.280 --> 00:34:16.599
ever want to go in house, And that's what we've

577
00:34:16.599 --> 00:34:18.800
tried to do. So I hope you guys are ready

578
00:34:18.800 --> 00:34:19.679
for it. Are you ready for it?

579
00:34:19.760 --> 00:34:22.519
It? All right?

580
00:34:24.840 --> 00:34:33.440
Are there any Universal Monster put my house? Okay? You know,

581
00:34:33.800 --> 00:34:37.400
just the other day we announced a brand new house

582
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:40.960
that continues the Universal Monsters legacy. At Halloween Hart and

583
00:34:41.000 --> 00:34:44.599
I started in twenty and eighteen with Universal Monsters. This

584
00:34:44.679 --> 00:34:48.079
is the sixth that we have done at Universal Studios, Hollywood,

585
00:34:48.119 --> 00:34:51.639
and this one is called the Union. Sometimes go us

586
00:34:51.679 --> 00:34:56.239
one about glad moments. So let's do bring about this house.

587
00:34:57.280 --> 00:34:59.880
This is the first time we've ever done a completely

588
00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:05.840
email centric take on the Universal Answers, using characters that

589
00:35:05.960 --> 00:35:09.360
are rooted in our film history except one which we

590
00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:11.039
invent it, which I'll tell you about in just a second.

591
00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:15.039
Bringing these characters to light that maybe are lesser known

592
00:35:15.239 --> 00:35:17.960
than some of our you know, standard characters that everybody does.

593
00:35:19.159 --> 00:35:21.239
But we did this in collaboration with our calling to

594
00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:23.920
Universal Orlando. So Chris and I worked with their team

595
00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:28.920
togreate this original story. So this is a completely original story. Man,

596
00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:32.239
I'm gonna show you the monsters. So let's meet the monsters.

597
00:35:33.679 --> 00:35:40.400
Let's start with the heroines. Saskia van helsing this it's

598
00:35:40.440 --> 00:35:43.039
a completely original character. It doesn't exist in the novel,

599
00:35:43.320 --> 00:35:45.880
doesn't exist in the films. And I should give credit

600
00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:48.480
to the Great Crash the Careery. Do you guys know

601
00:35:48.599 --> 00:35:51.719
Crash Legendary Creams your creator. He works with us on

602
00:35:51.800 --> 00:35:54.679
the Universal Monsters franchise. He does all the key ard

603
00:35:54.760 --> 00:35:57.639
for the posters. He drew this gorgeous picture of Saskia

604
00:35:57.719 --> 00:36:01.519
von Helsing. Crash been in the movie industry, started with

605
00:36:01.719 --> 00:36:05.440
like stan Winston back in the Terminator days, worked on Terminator.

606
00:36:05.800 --> 00:36:09.480
He helps, you know, design Edward Scissorhands, the Jurassic Park films,

607
00:36:09.559 --> 00:36:11.360
you know, Pirates of the Caribbean, on and on and on.

608
00:36:11.760 --> 00:36:13.679
But every year we get to work with Crash and

609
00:36:13.760 --> 00:36:17.760
this is his art work. So Saskia is the last

610
00:36:17.880 --> 00:36:22.519
descendant of this guy, Abraham von Helsing, the famed monster

611
00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:26.159
hunter from our nineteen thirty one film Dracula. All of

612
00:36:26.239 --> 00:36:29.800
his other descendants, who were all male, have all died.

613
00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:36.960
They've all been killed by Dracula's daughter. Why, because this

614
00:36:37.159 --> 00:36:40.639
dude killed her dad. Do you remember the end of Dracula.

615
00:36:40.719 --> 00:36:43.519
He drives his steak through the heart of Dracula and

616
00:36:43.679 --> 00:36:48.599
that's it. Spoiler. So Draccula's daughter is on a vendetta

617
00:36:48.800 --> 00:36:52.159
to wipe out the von Helsing family, and Saskia is

618
00:36:52.199 --> 00:36:56.039
the last one left. Now we carried her with the

619
00:36:56.079 --> 00:37:00.840
pride of Frankenstein. It's Fire Fires two thousand and twenty

620
00:37:00.880 --> 00:37:03.320
one house. But Brian and Frankenstein lived. Do you remember

621
00:37:03.360 --> 00:37:07.679
that house? People have been saying, well, you gotta bring

622
00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:09.679
her back, you gotta bring her back. We listen, we

623
00:37:09.800 --> 00:37:11.639
listen to you, guys. I was like, we got to

624
00:37:11.639 --> 00:37:14.119
bring the Bride back. She's such a great character, such

625
00:37:14.159 --> 00:37:17.440
a great house. We've kind of taken. And this is

626
00:37:17.559 --> 00:37:20.519
crashes our work again. And it's inspired by what Lucas

627
00:37:20.599 --> 00:37:23.679
Koleshaw on our team drew for the Monster hunterlook from

628
00:37:23.719 --> 00:37:28.119
Briandon Frankenstein Lives, And of course she's inspired by our

629
00:37:28.199 --> 00:37:30.760
nineteen thirty five film that Bridon Frankenstein. Wish she is

630
00:37:30.800 --> 00:37:34.360
in for exactly what five minutes, right, But it's so

631
00:37:34.519 --> 00:37:37.239
great that the Bride has continued to live despite her

632
00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:42.199
entire film career being five months. And then there's the villains.

633
00:37:42.400 --> 00:37:46.000
I mentioned this one Dracula's Daughter that comes from a

634
00:37:46.079 --> 00:37:50.119
real Universal movie was nineteen thirty six The Countess Maria's Aleska.

635
00:37:51.719 --> 00:37:53.840
It was Dracula's daughter. It was the first sequel they

636
00:37:53.920 --> 00:37:59.599
made to Dracula. This is crashes our work for the

637
00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:06.400
make the transformation look of Drakula's daughter. But you know,

638
00:38:06.480 --> 00:38:10.199
we thought, okay, cool, but let's take that farther. So

639
00:38:10.320 --> 00:38:16.320
when she gets fully transformed. She looks like this, You

640
00:38:16.400 --> 00:38:20.559
guys cool if I share a sneak peek a little makeup.

641
00:38:21.960 --> 00:38:25.400
So this is Patrick McGee. McGee affects, our longtime makeup artist.

642
00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:28.800
This is his skulp for the mid transformed Dracula's daughter.

643
00:38:29.559 --> 00:38:31.679
And then we decided to bring you know, a couple

644
00:38:31.679 --> 00:38:34.360
of east eggs, a couple of little surprises from the past,

645
00:38:34.400 --> 00:38:38.039
so I'll tell you about Sumer. We decided to bring

646
00:38:38.119 --> 00:38:40.599
one of Dracula's brides back, so this is the mask

647
00:38:40.679 --> 00:38:43.880
for Dracula's Pride. She factors into the story. And then

648
00:38:43.960 --> 00:38:47.039
we decided to pair this character with two other female

649
00:38:47.159 --> 00:38:50.800
universal monsters, starting with the she Wolf, inspired by our

650
00:38:50.880 --> 00:38:53.199
nineteen forty six film The She Wolf of London. Is

651
00:38:53.239 --> 00:38:57.320
anybody ever seen seriously She Wolf of London? Anybody? Yeah?

652
00:38:57.920 --> 00:39:01.360
What's weird about that movie? Is there a were wolf

653
00:39:01.440 --> 00:39:05.840
in that movie? No, there's no, There is no werewolf

654
00:39:05.960 --> 00:39:08.679
in She Wolf of London is kind of a gas

655
00:39:08.840 --> 00:39:11.760
line story. They're trying to convince this woman that she's

656
00:39:11.840 --> 00:39:14.159
turning into the werewolf and killing all these people, but

657
00:39:14.800 --> 00:39:17.800
she isn't. It never happens. We took an artistic license

658
00:39:17.880 --> 00:39:22.599
with that and we turned her into this. And this

659
00:39:22.760 --> 00:39:25.039
is art worked out by our very own Lucas Coleshat

660
00:39:27.599 --> 00:39:30.239
And this is Patrick Magee's skult for the she Wolf

661
00:39:30.280 --> 00:39:34.199
of London. But all right, the last of the female

662
00:39:34.239 --> 00:39:40.159
monsters Oxun Moon inspiration our nineteen thirty two filmed a

663
00:39:40.239 --> 00:39:44.239
mummy in that movie, em Hotel, who gets reincarnated as

664
00:39:44.400 --> 00:39:48.480
Arduth Bay becomes obsessed with this woman named Helen who's

665
00:39:48.519 --> 00:39:51.679
up on screen right now, and he wants to take

666
00:39:51.760 --> 00:39:54.360
her and sacrifice her so he could turn her back

667
00:39:54.440 --> 00:39:58.559
into his long lost love Anxu Mo nax Sun Moon.

668
00:40:00.280 --> 00:40:02.559
So he took that idea and we ran with it

669
00:40:03.320 --> 00:40:06.239
and we created this. So this is the look of

670
00:40:06.320 --> 00:40:10.840
our female Mummy and our experience. You recognize the omulet

671
00:40:11.079 --> 00:40:13.880
overaw that she's wearing around her neck. That's a throwback

672
00:40:13.920 --> 00:40:18.039
to our twenty twenty two House Universal Monsters Legs Kali,

673
00:40:18.199 --> 00:40:22.039
that's what the mummy was wearing. And then this is

674
00:40:22.119 --> 00:40:27.559
Patrick McGee sculpt for Monsoon No MoU and I love.

675
00:40:28.039 --> 00:40:31.519
I'm in love with this cute little cobra that he

676
00:40:31.639 --> 00:40:36.320
sculpted because that's part of her headband. So that is

677
00:40:36.400 --> 00:40:38.800
our monsters. Now they are joined together in what we

678
00:40:38.960 --> 00:40:43.199
call the unholy Alliance. So Dracula's daughter is the most

679
00:40:43.239 --> 00:40:45.880
powerful one. You know in the film, Dracula has the

680
00:40:45.960 --> 00:40:50.000
power of mind control. So he she is at the

681
00:40:50.079 --> 00:40:53.079
top of this pyramid, and then down below is an

682
00:40:53.679 --> 00:40:56.840
no moon and that she woke London. Dracula's daughter is

683
00:40:56.960 --> 00:41:01.320
controlling these characters in order to do help her wipe

684
00:41:01.320 --> 00:41:04.400
out the von Helsing's. Now the story. I'm just going

685
00:41:04.480 --> 00:41:06.639
to share a couple of pieces of artwork that Luke

686
00:41:06.719 --> 00:41:09.719
has created to help tell our story. Our story starts

687
00:41:09.760 --> 00:41:13.119
at Amsterdam, why because that's where the von Helsing family

688
00:41:13.320 --> 00:41:16.519
is from. In the original novel, it starts at the funeral.

689
00:41:17.760 --> 00:41:21.400
The last male descendant of Abraham von Helsing has just

690
00:41:21.559 --> 00:41:25.719
died the hands of Drakula's daughter, Saskia von Helsing, is

691
00:41:25.719 --> 00:41:28.199
at the funeral and she's mourning the death of her brother.

692
00:41:29.719 --> 00:41:32.199
There's still a few mourners that are hanging around, but

693
00:41:32.320 --> 00:41:36.079
it's really cold, it's snowing. But in the distance you

694
00:41:36.119 --> 00:41:38.119
can see in this image on the right hand side,

695
00:41:38.280 --> 00:41:42.000
I think that's when you're right, yes, is one of

696
00:41:42.079 --> 00:41:45.280
the vampire brides from our Bride of Frankenstein Live's house

697
00:41:45.679 --> 00:41:49.559
She's been sent by Drakula's daughter as an assassin to

698
00:41:49.679 --> 00:41:52.440
take out Saskia at the funeral. Just take care of

699
00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:55.519
them all at once. But someone else has showed up,

700
00:41:55.840 --> 00:41:59.360
an unexpected guest, and that's the Bride of Frankenstein. You

701
00:41:59.400 --> 00:42:01.400
can see her hiding off to the left side of

702
00:42:01.440 --> 00:42:06.960
the image. She has followed Dracula's bride to this location.

703
00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:10.159
Why because that's what she was doing in our twenty

704
00:42:10.400 --> 00:42:13.519
twenty one house. She was hunting Dracula's brides. So it

705
00:42:13.760 --> 00:42:16.480
just happens to converge on this day, at this moment

706
00:42:16.760 --> 00:42:20.039
where the Bride of Frankenstein is there to kill Dracula's

707
00:42:20.079 --> 00:42:25.599
bride and Dracula's bride is trying to kill sask van Helsing.

708
00:42:25.719 --> 00:42:29.079
So it causes them to form an unlikely alliance between

709
00:42:29.159 --> 00:42:34.519
Monster Hunter and monster So together they travel to the Source.

710
00:42:34.639 --> 00:42:35.960
If you're going to go to the source, you have

711
00:42:36.039 --> 00:42:40.360
to go to Transylvania. That's where Castle Dracula is, particularly

712
00:42:40.400 --> 00:42:42.599
an area that's mentioned in the book and the movie

713
00:42:42.920 --> 00:42:45.960
called the Borgo Pass. We've added our own touches to

714
00:42:46.079 --> 00:42:50.000
this little vam then paler influence of all these baled corpses.

715
00:42:50.760 --> 00:42:52.840
They're getting out of the black coach and they're getting

716
00:42:52.880 --> 00:42:55.840
ready to go to Dracula's castle to face this threat.

717
00:42:57.280 --> 00:42:59.400
They do something during this house that you should never

718
00:42:59.480 --> 00:43:01.400
do in a hornyr movie. What you should What should

719
00:43:01.400 --> 00:43:03.159
you never do in a horror movie if there's two

720
00:43:03.280 --> 00:43:07.480
or more people split up? Yeah, never a good idea,

721
00:43:07.960 --> 00:43:11.360
but they do. Saskia appeals off to deal with Dracula's daughter,

722
00:43:11.519 --> 00:43:14.639
the Dracula's Bride's the bride of Frankenstein peels off to

723
00:43:14.760 --> 00:43:16.920
deal with the Shoe Wolf and an Oxume the moon

724
00:43:18.159 --> 00:43:20.559
and I'm gonna leave it there. As far as the stormory,

725
00:43:20.639 --> 00:43:22.679
I don't want to spoil everything, just want to give

726
00:43:22.719 --> 00:43:25.639
you a little tease, But I do want to talk

727
00:43:25.719 --> 00:43:28.800
about this the location of where this house is because

728
00:43:28.840 --> 00:43:34.760
it's really cool. Stage twelfth on the Universal Farm pot

729
00:43:36.719 --> 00:43:40.679
Why is this cool? Well to tell you why this

730
00:43:40.800 --> 00:43:43.239
is cool? It's time for a history lesson that's slightly

731
00:43:43.360 --> 00:43:47.000
longer than the previous slightly longer history lesson. Okay, what

732
00:43:47.079 --> 00:43:49.000
I want to do today? Seriously, I just want to

733
00:43:49.039 --> 00:43:51.840
take you through the highlights of all the amazing films

734
00:43:52.239 --> 00:43:55.719
that have shot inside the soundstage. Because this is ground zero,

735
00:43:56.159 --> 00:43:59.159
not only for the American horror film, but for movie

736
00:43:59.199 --> 00:44:02.320
making in general. Because the stage was built in nineteen

737
00:44:02.400 --> 00:44:05.079
twenty eight. Okay, it's one of the biggest sound stages

738
00:44:05.119 --> 00:44:06.960
in the world at the time it was built, I

739
00:44:07.000 --> 00:44:09.079
think it was the biggest soundstage in the world, is

740
00:44:09.199 --> 00:44:12.239
still to this day in the top ten. But it

741
00:44:12.320 --> 00:44:15.199
was built specifically for this movie in nineteen twenty nine.

742
00:44:15.280 --> 00:44:18.119
When it came out, it was called Broadway. That's a

743
00:44:18.199 --> 00:44:21.400
behind the scenes still I pulled from our archive showing

744
00:44:21.480 --> 00:44:24.800
how big that set was. Inside stage twelve, there's a

745
00:44:24.880 --> 00:44:26.679
weird looking contraction in the middle of that.

746
00:44:26.840 --> 00:44:27.239
What is that?

747
00:44:28.079 --> 00:44:31.760
That is the very first camera crane. The camera crane

748
00:44:32.079 --> 00:44:35.719
was actually invented for this movie. So right from the beginning,

749
00:44:35.840 --> 00:44:39.519
the sound stage was associated with film history and the

750
00:44:39.599 --> 00:44:41.880
nineteen thirties and nineteen thirty to be exact. It was

751
00:44:41.920 --> 00:44:44.440
also used for another musical called The King of Jazz.

752
00:44:45.400 --> 00:44:48.239
They built a giant piano with like five different guys

753
00:44:48.280 --> 00:44:51.400
playing it in the full orchestra on top. And this

754
00:44:51.559 --> 00:44:54.000
movie today is really only famous for one thing. It's

755
00:44:54.039 --> 00:44:56.880
famous for the fact that Bing Crosby made his movie

756
00:44:56.960 --> 00:45:00.039
debut in King of Jazz. Now you're going to on

757
00:45:00.159 --> 00:45:02.960
what does this have to do with horror? This is

758
00:45:03.000 --> 00:45:04.559
what it has to do with horror. We're gonna bring

759
00:45:04.599 --> 00:45:07.280
it back to horror right now, because in nineteen thirty one,

760
00:45:07.320 --> 00:45:11.239
Stage twelve was used to build the interior of Dracula's castle.

761
00:45:12.320 --> 00:45:15.880
You know the scene right. Not only is this one

762
00:45:15.920 --> 00:45:18.280
of the most famous movie lines in all of horror

763
00:45:18.320 --> 00:45:20.519
movie history, it's one of the famous movie lines in

764
00:45:20.559 --> 00:45:24.599
all of movie history. Tune but at the ninth lots

765
00:45:24.599 --> 00:45:29.199
of music they make that was under inside Stage twelve,

766
00:45:29.480 --> 00:45:31.480
And I brought this little tree from our archive. We

767
00:45:31.559 --> 00:45:34.719
still have the original set drawing in our archive. This

768
00:45:34.840 --> 00:45:37.199
is from nineteen thirty one. This is from Dracula. This

769
00:45:37.360 --> 00:45:40.159
is the production designer's sketch for what that set would

770
00:45:40.199 --> 00:45:42.719
look like. And then in the same year, in nineteen

771
00:45:42.800 --> 00:45:46.000
thirty one, it was used again for Frankenstein. This was

772
00:45:46.079 --> 00:45:48.880
doctor Frankenstein's lab. That's when that was shot. One of

773
00:45:48.920 --> 00:45:51.760
the most famous scenes in movie history, not only horror movies,

774
00:45:51.800 --> 00:45:55.880
but all of movies. It's alive. That happened inside the

775
00:45:55.960 --> 00:45:59.320
sound stage. And then in nineteen thirty five it was

776
00:45:59.440 --> 00:46:03.440
used for the Frankenstein. Now I always whenever you know,

777
00:46:03.719 --> 00:46:06.239
I share a movie history with people, I always try

778
00:46:06.280 --> 00:46:08.960
to convey to them, like how big that set was,

779
00:46:09.320 --> 00:46:11.960
because I don't think you're really good appreciation for it.

780
00:46:12.280 --> 00:46:15.079
So I brought up behind the scenes still the image

781
00:46:15.119 --> 00:46:17.760
on the right there, that's how big that set was.

782
00:46:17.920 --> 00:46:21.559
From nineteen thirty five, it was also used, of course

783
00:46:21.599 --> 00:46:24.880
and Brida Frankenstein for another classic seed when the bride

784
00:46:24.960 --> 00:46:28.639
is first unveiled, Frankenstein is all eager to have his friend,

785
00:46:28.679 --> 00:46:30.079
and he goes and puts a hand on her, and

786
00:46:30.159 --> 00:46:32.280
she hisses at him like a cat, and then he

787
00:46:32.840 --> 00:46:34.960
sends the immortal line as he puts his hand on

788
00:46:35.039 --> 00:46:38.880
the lever, we belong dead, pulls the switch, blows the

789
00:46:38.960 --> 00:46:43.280
castle the hell. That's all Stage twelve. So moving on

790
00:46:43.480 --> 00:46:46.039
into the nineteen fifties, it was used for a famous

791
00:46:46.119 --> 00:46:48.920
Jimmy Stewart movie called Harvey. Right, and I know, at

792
00:46:48.920 --> 00:46:51.920
this point in the tour you're going, what is that

793
00:46:51.960 --> 00:46:55.079
app to horror? It was used for the interior of

794
00:46:55.239 --> 00:46:58.960
the Harvey Mansion. Why does the Harvey Mansion have anything

795
00:46:59.000 --> 00:47:02.000
to do with horror? This is why that's the same

796
00:47:02.159 --> 00:47:05.599
set the exterior of the Harvey Mansion on Colonial Street

797
00:47:05.880 --> 00:47:09.440
right in the Universal backlot. Does that top of that

798
00:47:09.559 --> 00:47:14.320
house look familiar? Cyclic book? That was a stock set,

799
00:47:15.079 --> 00:47:17.840
stock unit set that was later, you know, used for

800
00:47:17.880 --> 00:47:20.960
Psycho as well. That when I first started to coming

801
00:47:21.000 --> 00:47:23.599
to Universal, that house was there. I can remember that

802
00:47:23.679 --> 00:47:29.239
as a kid because I'm so old. In nineteen sixty

803
00:47:29.320 --> 00:47:32.119
Stanley Kuper it filmed Spartacus inside the house stage. It

804
00:47:32.199 --> 00:47:34.760
was the Roman Senate scene for that film. And this

805
00:47:34.920 --> 00:47:36.320
has nothing to do with him, you think. But I

806
00:47:36.480 --> 00:47:39.039
just was going through all my you know, years ago

807
00:47:39.119 --> 00:47:41.760
in two thousand, I put the video monitors on the

808
00:47:41.840 --> 00:47:44.159
trams and I oversaw that whole project. So I did

809
00:47:44.320 --> 00:47:46.639
all this research on our film industry and went through

810
00:47:46.679 --> 00:47:49.000
all of the archive, all of the photographs that behind

811
00:47:49.039 --> 00:47:51.639
the sea stills, and I came across this one years

812
00:47:51.639 --> 00:47:54.199
ago and I just thought, this is so Kuper. He

813
00:47:54.440 --> 00:47:58.800
numbered all the dead people number two sixty five. I

814
00:47:58.880 --> 00:48:01.079
could see you breathing. I'm sure that's why you did that.

815
00:48:02.960 --> 00:48:05.559
And in the seventies Universal was famous for its disaster

816
00:48:05.760 --> 00:48:09.159
movies berth Quin, the Airport film series, The hind and Burn.

817
00:48:09.360 --> 00:48:11.519
All of the biggest scenes of that movie those were

818
00:48:11.559 --> 00:48:14.440
films inside that south stage and then moving on into

819
00:48:14.480 --> 00:48:17.320
the nineteen eighties again another musical, The Best Law or

820
00:48:17.360 --> 00:48:20.239
Else in Texas Dolly Parton and Burn Reynolds. The Chicken

821
00:48:20.360 --> 00:48:23.840
Ranch set for that film was originally built inside Stage twelve.

822
00:48:24.159 --> 00:48:26.559
It was designed to open like a dollhouse so they

823
00:48:26.559 --> 00:48:29.480
could film exterior scenes and interior scenes. And I know

824
00:48:29.559 --> 00:48:33.960
what you're thinking, what does this have to do with horror? Well,

825
00:48:34.000 --> 00:48:37.280
that's sets still their kids. You've seen it sitting out

826
00:48:37.320 --> 00:48:39.639
on the back line of the universally called the Chicken Branch.

827
00:48:40.519 --> 00:48:42.679
That's the same house Rob Zombie turned into the House

828
00:48:42.719 --> 00:48:47.760
of one Thousand Courses. And then also in the eighties,

829
00:48:48.159 --> 00:48:51.079
two films that have blasted the test of time. Starface

830
00:48:51.199 --> 00:48:54.199
Say Hello to My Little Friend filmed inside Stage twelve

831
00:48:54.639 --> 00:48:56.960
Back to the Future. That was the interior of docs

832
00:48:57.000 --> 00:48:59.320
house Back to the Future. It was also used for

833
00:48:59.440 --> 00:49:02.679
some insure shots of the clock tower one Doc Brown's

834
00:49:02.719 --> 00:49:04.599
up on top of the clock towers. They filmed all

835
00:49:04.639 --> 00:49:06.920
of that at the Courthouse Squerever. They also built just

836
00:49:07.079 --> 00:49:09.519
the part of the top clock tower. Of course, Minster

837
00:49:09.599 --> 00:49:12.360
shotson side Stage twelve, So both of those movies filmed

838
00:49:12.400 --> 00:49:17.039
inside there. Psycho three, directed by Anthony Perkins, that was

839
00:49:17.079 --> 00:49:20.320
the interior of the cycle House. The Base Mansion was

840
00:49:20.360 --> 00:49:23.599
filmed inside that sound stage. And right after this brief

841
00:49:23.639 --> 00:49:27.039
little personal story, I started a Universal of nineteen eighty

842
00:49:27.119 --> 00:49:30.960
nine as a tour guide right and on my days off.

843
00:49:31.039 --> 00:49:33.000
Back then, you could call up the studio and say, hey,

844
00:49:33.039 --> 00:49:35.039
I'd like to shadow a production, and they hook you

845
00:49:35.159 --> 00:49:37.840
up with the production. In eighty nine, I spent the

846
00:49:37.880 --> 00:49:39.840
whole summer on the set of Back to the Future too,

847
00:49:39.960 --> 00:49:42.800
every single chance I got watching them film that movie.

848
00:49:43.280 --> 00:49:45.239
But one day I was out by the Cyco House

849
00:49:45.280 --> 00:49:47.800
and I saw Anthony Perkins up on those steps, and

850
00:49:47.920 --> 00:49:50.199
what he was filming was the introduction for the Alfred

851
00:49:50.239 --> 00:49:53.800
Hitchcock show that used to be in Universal Orlando. And

852
00:49:53.960 --> 00:49:56.679
I stood at the Base Motel and watched mister Perkins

853
00:49:56.719 --> 00:49:57.559
film that whole scene.

854
00:49:59.239 --> 00:50:00.199
I was on this set two.

855
00:50:01.280 --> 00:50:03.960
This is nineteen ninety three. At that time we were

856
00:50:04.000 --> 00:50:06.960
brought on. I had left Universal. After I left being

857
00:50:07.000 --> 00:50:09.880
a dry guide, I worked as a production assistant when

858
00:50:09.920 --> 00:50:12.360
we built that whole downstairs section of the theme park,

859
00:50:12.480 --> 00:50:16.159
the starwaysk later the old Special Effects Show, and then

860
00:50:16.239 --> 00:50:18.400
after that, the only time I ever left Universal, I

861
00:50:18.519 --> 00:50:20.119
was gone for five years and I was working for

862
00:50:20.159 --> 00:50:22.880
another company that used to do industrials, which are like

863
00:50:22.960 --> 00:50:25.719
business meetings, and they would daisy chain like a million

864
00:50:25.840 --> 00:50:29.199
slide projectors together because there wasn't even video projectors back then.

865
00:50:29.639 --> 00:50:31.480
But one day we got a call to come to

866
00:50:31.559 --> 00:50:35.559
a meeting at ambling to meet was Steven Spielberg's producer

867
00:50:35.679 --> 00:50:40.280
was Kathleen Kennel Dye, and talk about filming a scene

868
00:50:40.360 --> 00:50:42.719
for Jurassic Park. So I worked at Jurassic Park for

869
00:50:43.039 --> 00:50:45.639
about two days. Don't look for me in the credits

870
00:50:45.960 --> 00:50:48.880
U In there. We consulted on the scene one It's

871
00:50:48.920 --> 00:50:52.920
the Mister DNA, and the whole business plan of Jurassic Park.

872
00:50:53.119 --> 00:50:55.199
But in that meeting they showed me a piece of

873
00:50:55.320 --> 00:50:58.440
key art of a rendering of what the Discovery Center

874
00:50:58.559 --> 00:51:00.599
was going to look like, and it was this Zac scene.

875
00:51:01.239 --> 00:51:05.760
And that scene was filmed in side Stage twelve. I

876
00:51:05.880 --> 00:51:08.440
was on this set too, Casper in nineteen ninety five,

877
00:51:08.880 --> 00:51:11.719
all of whom staff Manner was built inside Stage twelve.

878
00:51:11.880 --> 00:51:15.360
Two thousand, when I was doing the studio tour, I

879
00:51:15.440 --> 00:51:17.559
wanted somebody to be the host, and I went to

880
00:51:17.679 --> 00:51:19.679
Ron Howard and asked him if he would be gracious

881
00:51:19.800 --> 00:51:21.840
enough to be the host of our first, you know,

882
00:51:21.960 --> 00:51:24.199
version of the studio tour. We had the video monitors

883
00:51:24.239 --> 00:51:26.599
on board the tram and I went on that set.

884
00:51:26.679 --> 00:51:29.719
They built the entire town of Whoville and side stage twelve.

885
00:51:31.239 --> 00:51:33.480
And then in the early two thousands that was more

886
00:51:33.519 --> 00:51:36.960
Spanner's underground lab for the whole And then in two

887
00:51:37.000 --> 00:51:40.199
thousand and nine I was inviting back to that sound

888
00:51:40.239 --> 00:51:42.480
stage again to meet Sint and Marty Craft. Do you

889
00:51:42.519 --> 00:51:48.679
guys know st Marty Graft thinks are puffing stuff? Yeah,

890
00:51:48.719 --> 00:51:55.639
Segma and the Sea Monster, the Bubbalooes, Doctor Shrinker, Thank

891
00:51:55.719 --> 00:51:59.039
put in a Wild Boy. Now I've lost you. I

892
00:51:59.159 --> 00:52:01.239
met Sinton Marty Rough on the set of this. It

893
00:52:01.320 --> 00:52:04.519
was the slee Stacks Temple in that film, and they

894
00:52:04.559 --> 00:52:06.639
were asking me like, oh, you know, we're just tearing

895
00:52:06.639 --> 00:52:08.320
down this set. Is there anything you want? Is there

896
00:52:08.320 --> 00:52:10.280
anything you want? You know? I was doing quarnyes by

897
00:52:10.320 --> 00:52:15.039
this time. So it took one thing. I took that

898
00:52:15.119 --> 00:52:19.760
ice cream vand do you recognize that that was in

899
00:52:19.880 --> 00:52:22.920
Clowns three D. The reason that clown was called Sweet

900
00:52:22.960 --> 00:52:25.480
Lakes is because it's painted right on that ice cream van.

901
00:52:25.840 --> 00:52:29.239
It didn't have to change It later became pollywod Harry's

902
00:52:29.480 --> 00:52:32.440
Van and became Larry Larva's van. And this year it's

903
00:52:32.480 --> 00:52:39.719
getting a complete remodel. Oh, this hasn't been anouse. It's

904
00:52:39.760 --> 00:52:42.119
getting a complete remodel for something I can't talk about.

905
00:52:42.320 --> 00:52:47.519
All right, moving on, thanks you. In twenty eleven, the

906
00:52:47.639 --> 00:52:49.679
Voice came in and took over that sound stage and

907
00:52:49.719 --> 00:52:52.679
they filmed I think seventeen seasons and the Voice inside there.

908
00:52:53.079 --> 00:52:55.079
And now they've moved to a new sound stage, which

909
00:52:55.159 --> 00:52:57.400
means now you guys, for the first time ever get

910
00:52:57.440 --> 00:52:58.800
to go inside that sound stage.

911
00:52:59.280 --> 00:52:59.599
You know, I.

912
00:53:01.880 --> 00:53:04.079
Practically grow up. What's a lot I'm go mentionin. It

913
00:53:04.119 --> 00:53:06.599
started as a touring guide. All my days off I

914
00:53:06.639 --> 00:53:08.960
would always go inside sound stages and I would always

915
00:53:09.000 --> 00:53:11.599
think about the film history of all these great movies

916
00:53:11.679 --> 00:53:14.199
and filmed inside there. So just to close out in

917
00:53:14.239 --> 00:53:17.159
this section, that's it. Behind the scenes still from the

918
00:53:17.239 --> 00:53:19.280
making of the Brand of Frankenstein. You mentioned, you know

919
00:53:19.880 --> 00:53:22.800
tea time. They're all English, they're all English actors. They

920
00:53:22.880 --> 00:53:25.639
had tea on the set every day, or you know,

921
00:53:25.760 --> 00:53:29.639
you can imagine Boris Carlof having a toasty the Brand

922
00:53:29.639 --> 00:53:32.079
of Frankenstein, checking her makeup and a mirror. This is

923
00:53:32.159 --> 00:53:36.119
all stage twelve. This is ground zero for the American

924
00:53:36.199 --> 00:53:40.079
horror movie right, and it's tied with so much film history.

925
00:53:40.199 --> 00:53:42.000
So I hope you guys appreciate it when you get

926
00:53:42.000 --> 00:53:45.880
to go see Universal Monsters Eternal Bloodlines inside the Little

927
00:53:45.920 --> 00:53:56.400
Famous House met for all. How about another ancient let's

928
00:53:56.440 --> 00:53:58.360
talk about the names you've been a Monsters. But wait

929
00:53:58.360 --> 00:54:04.960
a minute, this has been announcedam Slash. Now Slash is

930
00:54:05.039 --> 00:54:08.760
coming back again to do his sixth score for Universal Monsters.

931
00:54:08.800 --> 00:54:14.519
He's seventh for us at Halloween Horrnites. We you guys

932
00:54:15.000 --> 00:54:17.320
all the time I run into fans of Holly horn

933
00:54:17.360 --> 00:54:19.360
Nits and the advantage you always you tell me what

934
00:54:19.519 --> 00:54:22.480
you want. You're not shy about it. And the one

935
00:54:22.559 --> 00:54:24.719
thing that I've heard over and over and over is

936
00:54:24.760 --> 00:54:27.280
when you get to do like an album with the

937
00:54:27.400 --> 00:54:36.920
music from Universal Monsters. For the first time ever this

938
00:54:37.039 --> 00:54:38.760
year at Halloween Hornitzes, you'll be able to get a

939
00:54:38.880 --> 00:54:43.800
limited edition vinyl album featuring selections of all of the

940
00:54:43.920 --> 00:54:49.280
different houses that Slashes done up until this point. This

941
00:54:49.480 --> 00:54:51.880
is the interiors lead you know, the open and open up.

942
00:54:51.920 --> 00:54:55.679
The album is the inside features all the crashes iconic artwork.

943
00:54:56.719 --> 00:55:00.239
I wrote the dedication Uh Stacy Quinolti on our team

944
00:55:00.320 --> 00:55:03.559
who works with Slash that does co writes the music,

945
00:55:04.119 --> 00:55:07.599
arranges it, produces it. He remastered all of these tracks,

946
00:55:07.719 --> 00:55:10.880
especially for vinyls of this year. You will finally get

947
00:55:10.920 --> 00:55:13.119
that album that you've been asking me for more years

948
00:55:13.159 --> 00:55:23.760
to do to get us. All right, let's go. Should

949
00:55:23.760 --> 00:55:40.559
We announced the scare zone? All right? Here Kads's bar nights.

950
00:55:41.039 --> 00:55:41.360
All right?

951
00:55:41.519 --> 00:55:43.519
Credit and I don't know he might be in the audience.

952
00:55:43.679 --> 00:55:49.000
Pat are you here, Paquin? Yes anywhere? Pack Quin on

953
00:55:49.079 --> 00:55:52.119
our team does all of the scare zones and parked

954
00:55:52.159 --> 00:55:54.159
a quarter for the park. He has been pitching this

955
00:55:54.559 --> 00:55:57.760
idea for a scare zone to Chris and I for

956
00:55:57.960 --> 00:56:01.360
years and we've never said yes, and then this year

957
00:56:01.440 --> 00:56:05.199
we went, ok, let's do it. That's one of the

958
00:56:05.320 --> 00:56:08.440
craziest ideas I've never heard for his star zone. But

959
00:56:08.559 --> 00:56:10.960
I dig it and what it's inspired by it is

960
00:56:11.119 --> 00:56:13.320
what you see. I'm like, you guys know what that is.

961
00:56:14.920 --> 00:56:19.719
It's a specific genre of horror, and it's specific to Mexico.

962
00:56:19.880 --> 00:56:24.400
Really enjoy In the sixties and seventies, they would make

963
00:56:24.519 --> 00:56:27.880
movies with famous wrestlers, and they would get them against

964
00:56:28.519 --> 00:56:32.679
monsters like not our Frank is dying. They're usually a

965
00:56:32.760 --> 00:56:35.480
Frank is dying, not our Dracula, but there is always

966
00:56:35.519 --> 00:56:37.840
a Dracula's not our wolf Man, but there was always

967
00:56:37.880 --> 00:56:40.039
a wolf man. Not our Mummy, but there was always

968
00:56:40.039 --> 00:56:45.480
a mummy. So Pat's idea was to make monster wrestlers

969
00:56:46.079 --> 00:56:51.039
that are fighting monster wrestlers. Okay, so I'm gonna share

970
00:56:51.079 --> 00:56:58.480
with you the good monstrols Woo, the Blue Death, and

971
00:56:58.599 --> 00:57:00.639
what's really cool about it, this is working with our

972
00:57:00.719 --> 00:57:04.920
DEI team. We sourced all these costumes from from Latin America,

973
00:57:05.119 --> 00:57:07.920
from the very people that make Lucia or wrestling costumes,

974
00:57:08.719 --> 00:57:13.280
so everything's authentic. This is the Blue Death. This is

975
00:57:13.320 --> 00:57:18.079
his tag team partner, the Green Devil. And then there's

976
00:57:18.119 --> 00:57:25.039
a bad mostros the King Monster, who's not Frankous time

977
00:57:26.199 --> 00:57:31.719
what he kind of looks like The Horrible that's not

978
00:57:31.840 --> 00:57:34.320
the Wolf Man, and he kind of looks like him.

979
00:57:35.039 --> 00:57:42.480
It's in the spirit of these movies. The Water Team Man,

980
00:57:44.719 --> 00:57:47.519
he's not the creature of the Black Lagoon, and he

981
00:57:47.639 --> 00:57:55.519
kind of looks like him. The Witch, the Skeleton Man,

982
00:57:58.320 --> 00:58:03.679
the Knight Saw made and are still walking character of

983
00:58:03.800 --> 00:58:12.320
the past. And here's the whole guest. This is going

984
00:58:12.400 --> 00:58:15.440
to be tied to our Latin American house at mostros too,

985
00:58:15.840 --> 00:58:18.519
the nightmares a lot more up. So they come out

986
00:58:18.559 --> 00:58:21.360
of this house, you go light of toda particular stairs

987
00:58:21.360 --> 00:58:26.119
on it. Thank you by the way, because I only

988
00:58:26.199 --> 00:58:29.880
got to you guys too. It was you who got

989
00:58:29.960 --> 00:58:32.159
us doing this in the first place. Years ago, back

990
00:58:32.199 --> 00:58:34.760
in two thousand and nine, I think a thing on

991
00:58:35.119 --> 00:58:36.960
more than one came up to me and were like,

992
00:58:37.000 --> 00:58:38.800
why why don't you do la yo ownA? And I

993
00:58:38.880 --> 00:58:41.440
had no idea what that was because it wasn't something

994
00:58:41.519 --> 00:58:44.719
I grew up with in my culture. But I started

995
00:58:44.760 --> 00:58:47.599
researching it and I started getting into it, and I realized, Wow,

996
00:58:47.679 --> 00:58:51.000
this is amazing. It's so Los Angeles, it's so representative

997
00:58:51.000 --> 00:58:54.159
of our community in Los Angeles, and so we've really

998
00:58:54.199 --> 00:58:56.800
been focusing all those in the last few years. In particular.

999
00:58:57.360 --> 00:59:00.159
We're really the creditors for you guys. Were suggested, O,

1000
00:59:00.239 --> 00:59:06.079
thank you, go skip pet. This is the skull for

1001
00:59:06.199 --> 00:59:08.119
the Skeleton Man, and this is what his finished mask

1002
00:59:08.239 --> 00:59:08.519
looked like.

1003
00:59:08.800 --> 00:59:09.159
This is a.

1004
00:59:09.199 --> 00:59:13.840
Partnership with Immortal Masks. They might be here today the

1005
00:59:13.920 --> 00:59:15.840
bank you are soon go to masks for the event,

1006
00:59:16.039 --> 00:59:20.400
and they created some amazing masks for the one. We're

1007
00:59:20.480 --> 00:59:24.000
also creating original artwork lucago or posters in the style

1008
00:59:24.119 --> 00:59:26.960
of that artwork from the fifties sixties. This is just

1009
00:59:27.039 --> 00:59:32.159
a few examples, and you know we're weird today. I

1010
00:59:32.280 --> 00:59:35.000
signed that beautiful piece of artwork that are Moorrow local

1011
00:59:35.039 --> 00:59:39.239
steleshot from Moscrows for people that came to the Universal

1012
00:59:39.280 --> 00:59:43.239
Products and Experience move I also gave them all these

1013
00:59:43.320 --> 00:59:48.360
files and they were kind enough to do merchandise that

1014
00:59:48.559 --> 00:59:53.000
is available now. I think literally right now on Amazon.

1015
00:59:54.480 --> 00:59:56.159
For the first time ever, you're going to be able

1016
00:59:56.239 --> 01:00:00.400
to get merchandise inspired by these houses. This scares our

1017
01:00:00.519 --> 01:00:04.039
mons Rose House and other original content we've done over

1018
01:00:04.079 --> 01:00:06.440
the years, So Coga Amazon, check it out, and I

1019
01:00:06.480 --> 01:00:08.679
think members of that team are gonna give you guys

1020
01:00:08.760 --> 01:00:10.519
some postcards when you're going out if you want to

1021
