They only made it about an hour or so into the movie when Brian and Tori decided to excuse themselves.
Spencer HenryHOST
They were gonna go down to the movie theater to go to a screening of Pulse.
Spencer HenryHOST
I believe this was around 9:30 PM that night.
Spencer HenryHOST
They tell Cassie and Matt they're heading out.

He did mention when speaking to the authorities that two other guys from school had been over that night, Brian Draper and Torey Adamcik.
Spencer HenryHOST
Police of course jumped on it and pulled the boys in for questioning, and their explanation was pretty simple.
Spencer HenryHOST
They claimed after leaving Cassie's house, they went to the movies and they saw Pulse, a tech horror movie starring Kristen Bell as a student and Ian Somerhalder as a computer hacker who have to stop a deadly computer virus from taking over the world or something like that, and that was it.
Spencer HenryHOST
That's their story.
Jim LaczkowskiGUEST
Well, one of my f- all, it was definitely another movie to consider for a future episode too just because, I mean, gosh, I don't know.
Jim LaczkowskiGUEST
I, there's something about Pulse.
Chloe WarrianHOST
Yeah.
Jim LaczkowskiGUEST
Uh, Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Pulse that really unnerves me, and it, it features this, you know, like computer virus that opens a portal to the realm of the dead and just allows vengeful spirits to travel along internet connections in this case, and they can sort of like download this life force from their victims.
Jim LaczkowskiGUEST
And I don't know, that, that whole scenario and the tone and the, the feeling of dread when I watch that movie is just unlike anything, uh, I've seen.
Jim LaczkowskiGUEST
And I know that like J-horror kind of captures that a lot, but I, there's just something about that version of Pulse where I also think of it as a great portrayal of depression- Because a lot of these people are really disconnected from their emotions and, you know, dehumanized to some degree and dreading just what's gonna happen to them.
Jim LaczkowskiGUEST
And, you know, eventually the movie ends.
Jim LaczkowskiGUEST
So I won't say because there, I won't, for people who haven't seen it, I won't say how everything plays out, but it just, oof, it really gets to me by the end in a major way.
MattHOST
Tim Curry.
MattHOST
And I think one we missed from your little quick mix is I just saw Milo Ventimiglia in this movie.
MattHOST
um his ex and ex co-star hayden panettiere yeah obviously save the cheerleader save the world yeah
JamieHOST
yeah um yeah just to give a little bit of love to tim curry you shouted him out last time but a very special screen presence for me um yeah and it's like one of the times where you feel really melancholy when a celebrity passes away similar to like when alan rickman passed Um, yeah, it just really meant a lot to me, uh, looking at seeing like Rocky Horror and Muppet Treasure Island growing up.
