The House of the Dead

Yeah.

Um, but they also have a remake of the original arcade House of the Dead on the-

Mm

... eShop, and it has, uh, pointer controls, so or you like-

And I even have, uh, like a gun-shaped thing that you can put the Joy-Con in and, and play it.

But yeah, that's...

If you want, if you want some good old House of the Dead or, or Corpse Killer or some of those old Light Gun games, they're on the eShop.

Yeah.

Uh, a company came to me and said, "We have the rights to the video game House of the Dead, what you maybe know from the arcades." And I said, "Yes, I know Hou- House of the Dead.

I, I played it various times." So we did the House of the Dead movie.

Action.

[woman screaming] It got horrible reviews and everybody hated me for it, but it actually made good money worldwide.

Or to just, I don't know the plan.

Because, like, this is just as bad as House of the Dead, where it's like, wait, why did you have this party if you knew that you were just going to infect everybody? Just

bomb them from jump.

House of the Dead?

House of the Dead.

Yeah.

House of the Dead?

Okay.

This is just House of the Dead-

Yeah

There's a whole running argument about slow zombies versus fast zombies that I find more interesting than it has any right to be.

The so-called runners came later out of Japanese video games in the 90s, I believe, from the dogs in Resident Evil to the sprinting dead in Sega's House of the Dead, and then in films like 28 Days Later and World War Z.

The actor Simon Pegg, who made Shaun of the Dead, wrote a compelling defense of the slow zombie that I think is actually more theological than he realized.

His argument was that death should be slow.

Uh, you turn around and look, and it looks like a Time Crisis or a Area 51 style arcade game-

...

House of the Dead.

Yeah

... has sprouted legs and has-

Who's the last one through the door?

Hm? I am, 'cause I'm amazed at this thing being like- [laughs] ...
