Unless he went on to live there.
Matt GourleyHOST
In the department store? Home Alone style or like Bad Ronald.
Matt GourleyHOST
Okay,
Alison RichGUEST
that's fun.
Amanda ReyesGUEST
And I found that my exposure to horror at that time was only coming from these films on our local channel, and the programmers were usually showing things like Trilogy of Terror.
Amanda ReyesGUEST
They didn't show Bad Ronald, but a movie like Bad Ronald would come up.
Amanda ReyesGUEST
Midnight Offerings was a big one.
Amanda ReyesGUEST
Summer of Fear, the Wes Craven film, was another one that showed up on our local channel a lot.
Amanda ReyesGUEST
And if you rented a regular movie for free, you could also check out a film that they had that were bootlegs.
Amanda ReyesGUEST
They were just things people taped off TV and donated to Eddie Brandt.
Amanda ReyesGUEST
And so I was getting movies that at the time weren't available, like Bad Ronald, like Crowhaven Farm.
Amanda ReyesGUEST
And I was starting to like acquire.
Adam LongHOST
But there is some sort of a connection there.
Adam LongHOST
Bad Ronald is another one of those classic horror films from the 70s that people talk about.
Adam LongHOST
And it's about a boy who accidentally murders somebody and his mother hides him away in a room in the house and tells him not to come out until she says it's okay.
Adam LongHOST
But she dies and he's stuck in the room and then new people move into the house and hijinks ensue, as they say.
Kevin MaherGUEST
So I think that it's having to approach it from a slightly different angle and a slightly different experience.
Kevin MaherGUEST
I will say, though, there are things that I just find – It's upsetting, not necessarily scary or gruesome, but there are things like I watched Bad Ronald.
Kevin MaherGUEST
I was like, this is all so sad.

This is so
Frank SantopadreHOST
Amelia.
Frank SantopadreHOST
But I'll have to think about that.
Frank SantopadreHOST
I mean, let me mention Bad Ronald since you mentioned it, since you brought it up.
Frank SantopadreHOST
I wrote still creepy and as bizarre as ever, but great performances.
CayleyGUEST
Again, another one that is just beautiful where it mixes this horror with comedy and social commentary.
CayleyGUEST
And it does one of my favorite things in horror, which is it makes the setting character and i think that that's another thing that wes craven really does very successfully that we haven't really talked about the last house on the left the hills have eyes we are frequently making the setting of these horror movies or my dreams i guess is another setting um we are frequently making the setting of these movies the most horrific thing about them there's tons of bizarre imagery in this one it's beautiful and i'll give another recommendation because i'm doing that right now you recommended crawl i recommended the pool if you like people beneath the stairs or people under the stairs, or if you haven't seen it and you like what I just said about it, I would also very highly recommend a movie called Bad Ronald, which was a made-for-TV movie that is fucking insane about a guy named Ronald who gets locked in a wall and...
CayleyGUEST
Some crazy shit happens.
CayleyGUEST
I don't want to spoil that movie at all.
