S02E13 "What You Don't Know Can Kill You"

0:01 Donald's a hypno therapist. In a moment, I'm going to count to three, and he really enjoys his work, and you'll remember nothing that happens. But we'll a colleague put an end to his game. You're not going to tell anybody? Are you staring? I don't know, or well, Donald, dream up a way out. I hear you can make a man do just about anything. Find up love this on Freddy's Nightmares. Well, hello, everybody, Hello, it is that time again. It is prime time, prime time, indeed, prime Time here. Probably don't remember that.

0:45 You didn't watch wrestling in the nineties. They did a parody of up in Here, but the wrestler's name was Primetime, so it was prime Time here, prime Time here instead, you know, up and here. I did that. That's pretty cool. It was actually pretty not bad. So, but I am your host, Enrique Kuto here with of course double D Louie Denoyer. That was me and Louie. How are you too better than me? Is that what we're gonna say? Yeah, from what you've been telling me, Yes, yeah, I think I think I think my problems are not really airworthy. I mean yes, and no, I mean your problems are valid, but you yourself are not. No, I'm a piece of shit, Jesus, I mean being a little bit of a little bit of a negative Nancy. There's double d. Well, we are going to be heading back to Springwood. We are that, we are, and we have quite the episode. Yeah, it's We had such a nice, you know, couple weeks hanging out with Freddy and then the action and the stories were fun and kind of lively, and then this week it kind of reminds us what Freddy's Nightmares can do with the dark side and the fun side. Oh, with the dark side and the fun side. Well, yeah, there was a lot of that bouncing around quite a bit. Oh yeah, yeah.

1:53 This episode is was a bit different to me. I feel like it was. It was a bit different tonally, storytelling wise, stuff like that. But we're gonna get to that in just a minute. I just want to mention real fast for anybody who is interested in supporting the show that you can go to Freddy's Nightmares dot com and click on Patreon for as little as one or as three dollars. Sorry, I'm so used to saying the pitch for weekly speak for a three dollars and up donation per month. You can see us on video on Monday a day early every week and enjoy your Freddy's Nightmares podcast that way, except no imitations, no imitations, but you do get to see me a sweat a lot in the landing a couple of weeks ago. Well, that last one, I don't understand how you were sweating that bad. It was a combination. I'm fatter than you, the ac was off, I was already in pants and oh no, oh no, he was in pad Dude, I sweat and pants. And also adding it to the fact that I was running hot during one of the most hottest weekends weeks we'd had in summer. Right, that was a really hot day.

2:55 Yeah, that that became evident on the video for sure. When this was just dripped, dripping off me, it was it was sad. I mean, you should. A real man controls their own body temperature like a like a Buddhist monk, like a cross between a Buddhist monk and a kind of alligator. I am not a king, though, it's I am aware. Sorry king all you out there, because I am, of course, welcome to Prime Times Lifestyle coach. Remember, kings control your body temperature perfectly like you are an a Buddhist monk who's also an alligator. So but that all being said, the big question now will be, if you're watching on video, is David's posture going to stay or will it go? This is a test, so I actually trying to trying to help David, which is never a good idea. I'm wearing my band, I've got I've got the new stool. Now I was gonna say I bought you a new stool. Yes you did, so we will see how I go, will we'll We'll just see your yes. And I also want to mention if you love what we do here at Freddy's at the Freddy's Nightmares podcast and you want to show us support, but you don't have any cash to throw around or what have you.

4:12 We totally understand the economy blows, Donkey Dick, Yes it does. So if you if you want to throw us some support that doesn't cost a penny, just go to your favorite podcasting app ideally Spotify and Apple Podcasts and leave us a five star rating. You don't even have to leave a review, just the star rating. It helps people who are on the fence about listening to the program decide to take the leap and give us a listen. So it does help a lot. So and we are quite the niche show, so we need all the Fredheads we can get. Absolutely as we're careening towards the end of the series too. It's it is it is strange to think that we are over the halfway mark of season two. Nine episodes left after this one. Nine episodes. That's less than ten episodes are is called mathematics and Reaganomics or something along that those lines. But no, so this is to get into it now, sir. This is season two episode twelve.

5:13 It's oh wait, no, sorry, I have the wrong one. Season two episode thirteen. Wait wait, episode thirteen. But we gotta be careful saying that. Yeah, you don't want to say, I mean Freddie believes in numerology when it's a competitor. Uh, Season two episode thirteen. What you don't know can kill you. That is correct. So this original air date of this episode was January seventh or January eighth, nineteen ninety. We are into nineteen ninety officially with the series, we get it's the nineties. It's the nineties. Indeed, this episode is directed by Ken Weederhorn, who did Shock Waves in nineteen seventy seven, the Nazi zombie film as a Stranger in nineteen eighty one Return to Living Dead Part two. He also Mortal Return of Living Dead Part two. Yes, and he also directed episodes of Dark Justice for our good friend Jeff Frylick. Yes. This is also written by Jonathan Glassier. He wrote Mikey in nineteen ninety two Star Voyager episode CSI Miami, and he currently has a show on Sci Fi Right Now called The Arc that he is both producer and writer on. Really Yes, Okay, I've heard of that. I haven't watched it, but I've heard of it.

6:15 But it's pretty good. I need to check it out, alright. So the episode opens with a shot of Springwood Hospital as we hear the voice of a gentleman exclaim, missus Low, I'm gonna count back from five. The voice continues stating each number on the subject will go deeper and deeper into hypnotic state. We are now inside the office of doctor Donald Crowley played by Phil Proctor. This man Henrik has two hundred and fifty eight credits, largely voice work, but two hundred and fifty eight credits on IMDb, starting with the Edge of the Night in nineteen fifty six. Corect your grammar all the time, but the term is Bigle big Lead. He has over two hundred and fifty credits Bigle big lea yeah huh so starting with the Edge of the Night in nineteen fifty six. He also did The eighteen in nineteen eighty three.

6:58 He was on Saint Elsewhere in eighty five five Night Corp. In ninety He was the voice of Howard Deville in nineteen ninety one through the entire run of the series on The Rugrats. Oh Howard the dad, Yeah the dad, Betty's Betty's husband Phil and Lille's dad. Oh oh yes, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah okay, So he was the voice of him. He was also in Toy Story in nineteen ninety five. He was the Pizza Planet driver, the robot, and the overall auditor of the restaurant. But he's done work for Doom three and OZ four from Russia, Wood Love video game, and Oh five Gun two thousand and five. So if you get a chance, this man's credit resume goes on for a long long time. Big big Lee indeed, so Doctor Crowley, he is with a patient is Missus Lowe. She is played by Rosalind Allen. She was in All My Children in nineteen seventy, the film Perfect in nineteen eighty five with Jamie Lee Curtis and John Travolta, Eight Million Ways to Die in eighty six, dream On TV series in nineteen nineties, Children of the Corn in nineteen ninety two, the Two in nineteen ninety two. So with our good friends Giladler, and Yes, they took that. They took on that project.

8:03 Yep, Naked Gun thirty three and a third and poking Pinocchio's Revenge as well in ninety six, and to end it, Titus in two thousand and two. She recognized her immediately from Pinocchio's Revenge and probably from dream On. I feel like she was a major love interest on that show. I could definitely, yeah, I could definitely see that. Yeah. Is that the next one? Is it gonna be Welcome to uh tits on Late Night Table? Like the history of dream On, that could be an interesting project for those who don't know. Dream On was one of one of the we're talking early HBO original series. I don't think it's even on NAX. No, it's nowhere. Yeah, I have the DVD set of the first two. I think it's one or two season. I think it's one and I think they released season two, but I think it was. I know that there's no more than two seasons you can buy buy it. I have some that I obtain. Yeah, ways, how many seasons that show get? It wasn't like five or six while or six? Yeah, yeah, no, way went a while and I loved it. Starts Brian Ben Ben Yeah, and as Gil and Al were talking about it when they were on the show because they were, you know, became the show runners of Tales from the Crypt, which was the other og HBO show. Yeah, dream On didn't reinvent the wheel. I loved it, but it didn't reinvent the wheel. Dream On, which was in part started by John Landis who had like cameos throughout it, and every episode of dream On, by the way, was filmed by Mac Alberg, the Swedish erotica director turned DP of films such as re Animator, to name one of so many films I remember. I think he was one of the first ones you point out to me using an insane amount

9:37 I mean, and all the way up until his death just I want to say, not even eight years ago. He was just constantly a shooter and Stuart Gordon swore by him. Danny Draven at Full Moon swore by him. A lot of Full Moon movies were shot by mac Alberg, but he according to IMDb and according to the credits on dream On, because I've watched the entire series, I don't know if you have, it'd be probably hard to do. Honestly, That's okay. You suck, you suck. You're bad, You're bad friend, You're bad at fandom, You're bad at fandom. No, but I just want to mention it deserves an honorable mention. The reason we were laughing about it is it was a sitcom but with raunchy sacks and nudity because it was on HBO. So it was really just exploiting the fact that sitcoms are often affordable to make, with the fact that people what they liked about HBO was all of the rampant nudity and language. So it's about a single guy in New York who is a he's a book editor and he just stumbles us backwards into gorgeous women all day long. But he's always alone and miserable at the end. Love that show anyway, I don't want to. I didn't. I'm sorry I went on such a break but no people understood. Yes, what was talking about? So doctor Crowley is with missus Lowe. He's guiding her that when she reached zero, she will be as deep as she can be. He continues to count down as we watch missus Lowe remains stable. Once he reaches zero, he checks on her as she responds that she is fine. Crowley demonstrates and test the trance by suggesting her arm is lighter than air and if she's not careful, it will float away. We watch missus Lowe put her arm on the command he tells her

11:11 to lower it, recalling in the last session that she's lost her self esteem. Missus Lowe confirms this by stating she moved into a hotel, and Crowley offers to help her. Be to help her by refreshing her and making her feel confident and attractive again. Yeah, and the moment he starts hypnotizing her and having her arm float up and then get heavy again. Yeah, all I could think was, while this is some extremely dangerous tinkering with the human mind, we have going here this is true, but okay, okay, doke, okie, doke, indeed yikes, So he says that he can help her gain her self esteem again. Missus Lowe confirms that she's moved into a hotel. So missus Lowe agrees to the treatment, and miss Crowley moves in closer her, telling her that when he counts to three, he will appear to her as her husband Todd, and that she will be completely alone with him, and if he says the words hocus Pocus, she will go back into a deep trance, remembering nothing from then on. Of the traces that time, hocus Pocus and not Abrica Dabra, hocus Pocus is the first one, avocadaverge Okay, okay, I just want to make sure how adorable because pocus funny. You bring up that whole phrasing, which we'll get into in a second. I think there's a mistake in the writing at the end, but we'll get to that. Oh, we'll get to it. He begins, rubbing her hand creepily before counting the three as he crops her hands, watching as missus Lowe's eyes open, she looks at Crowley, calling him Todd and asking him what he's doing here. Crowley as Todd claims that doctor Crowley asked him to come by. Missus Lowe apologizes that she didn't mean to bother Todd, but Crowley suddenly tells her as Todd that he thinks she's the

12:43 sexiest and most beautiful thing on this planet, which immediately begins to win her over, and Crowley begins to kiss on her hands as missus Lowe, still in the trance, begins to embrace Crowley, calling him Todd as she begins to strip his clothes off. Well, and I want to say something, Yeah, Freddy's Nightmares is usually pretty good at staying within the realm of believability, but this one is not working for me. Usually a woman, the reason a woman sleeps with their therapist is specifically because they aren't her husband, not because she thinks they are. So I'm just saying it's hard to believe. Yeah, a little bit of of what's that word where you uh, you know, you take your disbelief and you put it in a box if you stick it with a hot cooat hag again and again and again. I'm not sure the suspend. So he strips her as the two begins some heavy petting together. Crowley immediately stands up, stepping out of his pants and just to his boxers before he lays on Missus low as she pulls him in and on top of her. Crowley's office door immediately opens as we meet doctor Stewart Rothman, who is played by David Hearne. The man unfortunately did not have any credits to his name. He comes in calling tone yeah, wow, yeah, comes in calling to Crowley, but Crowley quickly calls out Stewart.

13:58 Realizing he's been called, Crowley tries to tell him he's in the middle of a session as missus Lowe still lunges after him. Doctor Rothman and Shock quickly shuts the door, stating he'll come back later. Yeah, yeah, please please, please don't let me interrupt your rape gets up, but missus Lowe is still latched him. He quickly says hocus pocus, sending Missus Lowe back into the trance as she sleeps. Crowley then exits, disheveled but dressed, going up to Rothman, telling him that it wasn't what it looked like. No, no, no, it was non consensual. He was trying to do an experimental test to improve patient self image, but Stuart isn't having it, as he quickly states, you were raping her, and that guy based for saying that, because like no, because this guy's like no, no, he just she just it was you don't understanding. He's like you were raping or yeah, like that's what was happening, and he's like, uh.

14:46 Crowley fires back, it would only be raped if she was forced against her will, stating she started it by thinking that he was her husband. The two begin to walk as Crowley goes on to explain she won't remember a thing through though thanks to his new fool proof method, and then ask Rothman if he's going to tell anyone, adding that he knows him, but Stuart quickly states he thought he knew him and he was, adding he doesn't know what he's gonna do and he needs time before walking away, leaving Crowley to stand in fear. We immediately cut to Freddie's domain, where he finds Freddy swinging a pocket watch at the camera, trying to hypnotize us, stating you are now deeply under my control. Oh, I'm loving this. When you wake up, you will love Freddy. You will desire Freddy you will want Freddy. You'll even go to the grave for Freddy. He throws the watch down, breaking it and holds it up in pieces, laughing. Yeah, I mean, I mean, you know, I guess he's enjoying himself.

15:35 All I know is after meeting this hypnotist psychiatrist guy. Yeah, if ever someone needed and deserved a sincere, deep and rough freddy ing, Yeah, this is that. This guy, This guy I'm in. So we are now outside the Springwood Hotel as we cut inside to find a hotel room with stripping clothing adorning the floor. As the camera pans to a bed where we're here kissing sounds meet doctor Helen Vanier, who was played by Rachelle Carson Begley, the wife of Ed Begley Junior. Oh okay, yeah, I met him in a bathroom. You did, Yeah, he was. It was fun. So she was in Falcon Crest in nineteen eighty seven. Okay, kill crazy in nineteen eighty nine, but I'm a cheerleader in ninety nine, Diary of a Sex Addict. In oh one, she became like the traditional mom, yeah, like but in the quirky mom. Yea the koky because she was in eight Simple Rules for Dating My teenage daughter in two thousand and four, Blingering in twenty thirteen. She's been in Better Call Saul recently in twenty twenty two, and also appeared on Cobra Kai as well. Oh nice, Yeah, so we meet her and Derby Brown, who was played by fron Montano. He was in Beauty and the Beast in nineteen eighty seven, Married with Children in nineteen ninety, Melrose Place in ninety four, Er in ninety six, one of my favorite lez Nielson films, Spy Hard in ninety six. Ah Yes, the Not the Not, the other series Naked Naked Guess, one of the not Naked Gun movies that was good, that one in Wrongfully Accused, and he also has appeared on nine one one recently as well. Helen brings up a candy jaw breaker from the bed, asking Derby

17:06 what is this. Derby is quick to point out some kind of doctor. She is, not recognizing that it's candy, but Helen continues, it's funny because she had a guy a few weeks recognized back in the er who choked on one of those right in this very hotel before she throws it to the floor. That's a reference reference to Heartbreak Hotel. That's a referenced Heartbreak Hotel. We had are our very funny journalists? Yes, who was always sucking on a giant jaw breaker in his in his cheek. I liked that episode a lot, I mean, and it was like, keep in mind, David, we have had Elvis Aaron Presley. Yes, we have had Adolf Hitler. Yes, we have had I mean, like, we've had a bunch of features. Still I'm still I think I'm holding I hope we got nine more episodes. Jimmy Hoffa. I want Jimmy Hoffa in the DMV, like you said, I mean, or oh, that's a good one, or the Lockness Monster, Lockness Monster movie. I would I would be down with that. I would love to see Freddy go after the monster. It just has one of those, like one of those Derby caps from the Oh God, we should get ship Captain Freddy Shoo, Oh my god. So Derby has lit a cigarette and smokes it in the bed. Helen comments frustrated that she can't marry a man who smokes as much as he does, but he's quick to point out that they can't get married until she agrees to get the divorce that she's been talking about now for over a month. She tells him to trust her. Yes, she tells him to trust her, but Derby adds she's still sleeping with her husband, as Helen quickly adds that she

18:37 doesn't enjoy it, but doesn't see much point when Derby is going to die of cancer anyway, before asking when he's going to quit smoking again. Derby laughs, adding soon and he promises. He just that he's just been under a lot of stress. He just gave up his job. He moved into this, He moved out of his apartment to live in a hotel and is waiting for her and to find out if he's getting this new job, especially a CPA job when you're dyslexic. The man he quit his job, yes, left everything he knows to be in a town with a woman he's in love with who's still married. You know, I wouldn't usually do this, but I'm just gonna throw a little like that's fair, you know, like anything that happens to him due to Freddie's interference, I would call it euthan Asian. I'd call it him mercy killing. That's that's sad. I feel like I feel like right now, like hold on, no, like if I put like I'm gonna put the camera on me, Like I feel like I'm like I'm gonna go like this, like I'm listening to a caller.

19:38 Okay, so you'd be the guy telling me about your life. Okay, Okay, So now I'm gonna be like we're gonna be like James Kramer or something. Okay, you're you're the caller. Okay, you're on all right. So I'm having some troubles right now. I've thrown away everything for this girl. I just quit my old job. I moved out of my apartment. It was and it was a good it was a good job. It was good job. Did you like it? Were you happy with enjoyed it? Yeah? Wow? Okay, keep please, please keep going. Sold all my belongings to move across the states to move in with this woman. But until she divorces her current husband that she's still sleeping with, I'm staying in a hotel. Oh wow, and then this is uh. But but at least like you're in a pretty cool place, like this is like Chicago or Atlanta or somewhere where there's like a lot of things going on. Right, it's actually Ohio. Oh well, yeah, like Columbus has a lot of opportunity to Cincinnati's gorgeous Dayton. Ohio is the birth of flight. Uh.

20:26 I'm actually in a town called Springwood. Oh uh, you are in the I am sorry, We're gonna go to another caller because frankly, I'm gonna need some in the zoloften some prozac after that. But thanks so much for calling. And remember you can't buy one razor blade. They come in multiple pass all right, anyway, yourself and your mom with a tiny about all right, thanks, all right, thanks, it's okay, that was good. Yeah, there we go. Welcome to Pride Time. We'll be right back. Ah, We're back now, bitch. So no, I just wow, it's bad. And I mean also like the fact that he mentions that he's trying to land a CPA job with and being dyslexic. It's like, you really feel for this guy right out of the bottom and being dyslexic and trying to get a CPA job. I kind of like rooting for him. It's like, you know, it sounds like he's working really hard, but everything else suggests he's not smart. Like like I like maybe he's not dyslexic, maybe he's just a moron, And I figured what could be could be? I mean, I'm not a doctor. Well, lucky for you, we have a doctor in this episode. Well, I mean, for the record, I am a doctor. In belize you best believes it, best believes it. All right, So Helen tells him he's got nothing to worry about as he continues puffing on the smoke, explaining that things are just a bit stressful right now. Helen lays in bed next to him,

21:57 thinking before offering to introduced him to one of the best hypnotherapists in Springwood. Oh, yes, best, yeah, best and read only. We next see doctor Crowley sitting at his desk as Missus Lowe enters, whom he greets, commenting what a great surprise this to see her. Missus Lowe begins telling doctor Crowley that she went home and took a nap, having one of the strangest dreams, that he hypnotized her and believing he was todd and then made love to her. Oh how weird, how weird, how unw just bizarre. Do you remember Louis the Luisi k Show? Do you remember what he had? He had the dream he was getting dental work done. Yes, and he had the dream, Oh my god, he had the dream that he went to the Middle East and talked to Osama bin Laden. Yes.

22:40 But and so the whole joke is they just says like, he just stop being like a terrorist, Like no, and he's like, how would you feel if someone did at nine to eleven to you? And he was like, oh my god, I'd feel awful. He's like yeah. But then all of a sudden, they're like, hold on, I have a banana for you. And he's just putting up bana and like, what the And then he wakes up suddenly and the doctor runs away in like a zip pick up his pants. It's so good. That's the weirdest dream about the desert and bananas. Oh no, no, you did. That's just that's just the anesthesia wearing off. So nervous. Doctor Crowley is quick to tell her that was quite a dream and that sort of thing would never happen, of course, But missus Lowe asked him for his interpretation of the dream, which is the most sus part is they He says, well, clearly that didn't happen. That's not what she said, she didn't walk in there like, hey, I have a bone to pick with you for raping me. No, she came, I was like, weird dream after our session. I dreamt that we had sex together during our session. But of course this doctor, oh, he's he knows his stuff. Being a terminal, Chad tell us his next move. Oh my god. Crowley calls it a deep, deep seated desire burying in her subconscious, adding it's not uncommon for patients to have an attraction of some sort to their doctor. Missus Lowe confirms that's how she interpreted it too, but it's not buried deep, and she has deep desires for him as well. Not buried deep. Oh I thought that was a comment about his ring. Dang do. She also has a surprise.

24:11 She moves in closer to Crowley and quickly handcuffs his wrist to the chair he's sitting in. He asked her what she's doing as he watches missus Lowe remove a pair of hedge clippers from her purse, Asking if he's well versed in freud, Crowley nervously states yes, before missus Lowe tests the clippers, opening and closing them, and adds, then you figure it out. Crowd begets the scream, which suddenly awakens him in his office, revealing the whole exchange to be a nightmare. Oh wow, yeah, because he would never be that smooth in real life. No, clearly not. He sits up on the couch and terror and then goes to the door, peeking out as he sees a distressed Missus Lowe talking to doctor Northman. Panic he goes back to his desk, grabbing Missus Lowe's file and writing deceased on it before he stops, commenting, Oh I can't do that. He thinks for a second before leaning into his desk commenting maybe I can get someone else to do it for me. His office door suddenly opens as Derby enters, asking for help due to recommendation of his friend, doctor Helen Veneer, adding he hears that he's a man who can make anyone do just about anything under hypnosis. Hey, doctor Crowley confirms happily with a smile on his face. Yeah, and we're about to take a turn that I was very like, really grabbed me.

25:22 Yeah, because next up. Not to steal this from you, but he basically sits him down and say like, oh yeah, I can teach you to stop smoking. Yeah, and then he proceeds to hypnotize the man, tell him, you know that smoking cigarettes will taste like excrements, which they already do, so it's not like that's that impressive. True. But then he tells him to go strangle that woman to death. Yes, he does, but he also backs it up by protecting himself and saying that when he says the word abracadabra, he will forget everything that has happened, including what he's done, which is an adorable trigger word. I get it like it's like magic, but it's not, except sometimes people actually say Abrica down.

26:06 Yeah. I would have went with something like, now, remember you will leave this sleep when you hear the phrase. Part six is my favorite. You gotta go with something people don't say. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's fair. That's fair. As nobody calls it parts six, I feel like nobody calls it part six. It's Freddy's dead, Freddie's dead. Sorry day, geez fine, it's fine. Touchy subject. Oh yeah, yeah, so Freddy's a touchy sith with children. So he tells him that when he says abricat abra, hill forget everything except the smoking and basically sets it up so that when his clock, his wristwatch goes off at three, he will do the act that he is impressed upon him. The scene cuts away as we find doctor Crowley later in the day checking his watch around three.

26:51 He makes a call to doctor Rothman, requesting a chat in his office, adding they really need to talk. We next see the alarm beeping on Derby's watch as we watch him walk down the hall way of the hotel, and we cut back as Stewart enters doctor Crowley's office, telling him to make it fast because his patient is already here. Crowley asked what missus Low was doing in his office, as Stewart replies she asked to see him, saying that she needed someone to talk to and since Crowley's he's a Crowley's immediate superior, that is, the new method didn't hold at all, and all the sort of details of the morning session are coming back to her. Yeah, and I want to point out, did you get this sense too that this episode feels a lot like Tales from the Dark Side to me? Yeah, I'm not saying I don't believe that I that there was an episode of Tales from the Dark Side where a therapist like hypnotized or hypnotist did anything, but just the concept of like, oh no, this person's gonna wrap me out unless I get someone else to kill this solid, solid story. He felt very similar to it. And that's a compliments from The Dark Side's excellent great so, but it like I had these like, look it's a shot of a bridge. Look, these are things George Romero filmed on his way to lunch.

28:00 Anyway, but the eating lunch, ye cuban sandwich, do do do do do do do? But no, I just wanted to point out, like every now and then, when I'm watching any kind of anthology show or movie or whatever, yeah, I'll get a vibe and that reminds me of like Tales from the Hood or Tales from the Dark Side of the movie or Creep Show or Tales from the Crypt TV series. And this one was giving me like serious Tales from the Dark Side, which I believe it was running at the same time. Yeah, I think it was. Actually so if it either had just ended or it was still going hot, I can't remember. I think it had ended because I'm pretty sure the Tales of the Dark Side movie came out in ninety or ninety one. Yeah, that sounds right, which did just announced on four K today? Oh? Is that why your voice cracked like you were going through puberty yet up, So Crowley is quick to state his method works before Stewart tells him come on, adding he's heard about the experiments for years and never once had concern for the patient, and now he sees the other reason he doesn't have concern. Hitting at the assault, Stewart warrens Crowley that missus low is putting the pieces together. As Crowley comments that they're must be a way to persuade her from going to the authorities, we see Stewart state that he doubts it as he immediately find Derby at missus Lowe's door, asking how she can help him. Derby ask if she's missus Lowe. As she confirms yes, he removes a white scarf, pulling it tightly between his hands, and actions confuse Missus low as she continues asking what. Derby then motions her to a corner of the room to the apartment, drawing her attention away. As she turns around, he lunges at her and starts strangling her. Back in the office, Crowley and Stewart still discuss what Stewart is going to do, and Stewart comments he won't have it, have to since missus low is going to do all the talking for him.

29:33 Crowley asked what if she doesn't as Stewart x's the office and Crowley or it's Stewart confirms if she doesn't, then he will. We watch him leave as Crowley sits down at his desk, checking his watch, revealing three fifteen pm. We next see Derby returning to the hotel room as the phone begins to ring. Derby enters and answers it as Crowley says abracadabra into the receiver. Derby suddenly comes too out of the trance. Looking at the phone, he says hello, and Crowley asks if he's all right, confirming that it's him. Derby questions who called who, and Crowley lies that Derby called him. Yeah, that was some solid like efforta last lighting to wait, did I call you? Or did you call me? You call you? Called YEA? Oh god man, this guy is evil even by Springwood standards.

30:17 You know. I wonder if he like gets free pizza by doing this, like he hypnotizes like the person he calls on the phone. No, no, no, you gotta rob. This is the eighties. So the way he got free pizza, huh is he would hypnotize them and be like you left to come here at eight oh four, and then he go and then he'd be like Africa dabra and he'd be like, I'm so sorry we didn't get it here in thirty or less, sir. So uh, I guess it's coming out of my seventeen and a half year old paycheck. Yeah. Yeah, Now we're getting into unspitable evil. Terra thought the Ninja Turtles were bad, but man, doctor Crowley, hey wise man say never paid full price for the pizza. Derby states he thinks he had a blackout, but he can't remember anything. Crowley grins on the other end, tell him to relax and call him if anything starts happening. That helps him remember the cause of the blackout. They both hang up, and Derby goes to light a cigarette, taking a quick puff, then visually becoming nauseated and running to the bathroom. We suddenly see doctor Rothman storm in to Crowley's office, stating that missus Low was found strangled in her hotel room. This afternoon. Crowley fakes being shocked, questioning that she's dead, which I gotta say that was a genuine moment for and he's what's how Yeah, and but you forget to mention the most important element of this guy. He's smoking a pipe. Yes he is, Yes he is. And I've tried to warn everybody about pipe because they're bad people. If you smoke a cigarette, and you know, don't buy a car from that person, if they smoke a cigar, marry them.

31:49 If they're smoking a pipe, run, just simply run. So Stewart continues, Yeah, that's Jesus. So. Stewart continues that in all the years he knew Crowley, he never thought he'd be capable of such an act, which upsets Crowley, who stands up, asking Stewart what exactly is he saying that he thinks Crowley did, adding they're supposed to be friends and having debates is one thing, but accusing the other of murders outlandish. Oh preposterous him so, asking him what time he thinks that she was killed, Stewart comments her screams were heard around three. Crowley then reminds him that they were having him meeting right at three PM, so it couldn't have been him, but Stewart isn't having it. As he exits Crowley's office, Crowley chases after him, asking where he's going, and Stewart tells him to the police.

32:32 Crowley stops him, begging him for a day to tell his wife so she doesn't have to find out about this in the papers, and tomorrow morning he will turn himself in for sexual misconduct. Stewart hesitates for a bit as Crowley tries to convince him, and finally agrees, adding that if by morning he hasn't gone to the police, he will report to him. Understand Crowley agrees and asks Stewart where he will be in case he needs to contact him later, and Stewart tells him that he's on duty all nights a night in the hospital. Crowley grins as he lights up his hype with an evil scheme, brewing yeah, yeah, he does, and in Derby's hotel room, we find him having nightmares flashing back to him murdering missus Low and seeing it all play out again. He wakes up afraid and immediately calls Crowley. He asks how Derby is as he hears that Derby had the dream, revealing the murder he committed Unknowingly. Hearing this, Crowley tenses up, lying that he's got another patient and to come over right away so they can both figure out the root cause of these nightmares. Derby thanks him and hangs up. We next see Derby arriving at the office as Crowley greets him, ask him if he's feeling any better. Derby goes on to explain he actually feels worse because he's heard that a woman at his hotel floor a few doors down from him was murdered and he believes that he did it. Ah, what a god damn bamma. So he says that he did it when he blacked out. Crowley tells him to sit down, asking him when the last time was that he smoked, adding it's not uncommon for people suffering with withdrawals to have nightmare.

33:51 Derby is in disbelief as Crowley offers to put him back under to see if they can figure out the root cause. Derby goes under his Crowley counts back from five. Once in the trans Crawley brings out a pistol, lying to Derby, who's in the trance, telling him that it's a toy gun. And it was funny because the whole time he's doing this, he's putting real bullets in it. He's saying, that's a toy gun, can't hurt anybody. And guys, eyes aren't even open. He's in a hypnotic trance. Oh gosh, no, no, this guy is so so evil. And you said this one's directed by Weeterhorn, right, Yeah, Weeter Horn. He got pigeonholed as the horror comedy guy. He's not, No, he's not. He's a pretty serious filmmaker. And I mean that would love.

34:32 I mean, I hate when people fight against the things they're good at that people like them for. Like I'm glad that guys like Gunner Hanson got over that we played the original leather Face. I'm glad that Robert England was never liked that with Freddie he was okay with the fact that it made it was what made him famous. But there are some people like Wes Craven to an extent, he would bounce back and forth about being pretty pissed about being pigeonholed as a horror guy. Yeah, Weeter Horn definitely got pigeonholed, But he got great working, got to use some high profile stuff because of absolutely. I mean, shock Waves is a classic. Return of Living Dead two is a classic and one of those movies that's very well liked in Pine Sight High And going back to shock Waves, you know, Nazi zombies, I feel like has kind of become a comedy thing with Dead Snow obviously when people say that for the horror purpose, and shock Waves is pretty intense. Yeah, it's pretty damn serious. Well, Wheter Horn was not. I don't believe he was even much of a horror fan when he made that movie. He's he's just a good filmmaker, so he can make it scary. But so I get the sense that Weeter Horn was definitely like stretching this to get what he wanted out of it. Yeah, it's really good, Yeah, exactly.

35:39 So doctor Crowley wipes down the gun, removing the prince and tells Derby to take it with him after the session. He continues that when Derby is alarm goes off this time, he's going to come back up to this floor find room two forty three, which he will go into and shoot the man with the toy gun. Derby confirms he understands the assignment and We next see him exit Crowley's office shortly after. Later, downstairs, the alarm goes off as Derby x th Room makes his way back upstairs to Rothman's office, which reads two forty three, but suddenly Derby's dyslexia let me say that again. Derby's dyslexia kicks in, mixing up the numbers to read three twenty four. Back in Crowley's office, the phone rings as he's at his desk. He answers it to find doctor Vanier, asking how Derby's doing. Crowley confirms he believe he's into his smoking habit and that makes Helen happy, adding that Derby is so nervous all the time with moving the new job and his dyslexia.

36:28 Not fully hearing what she's saying, he ends the call quick and thanks her, but suddenly realizes and says out loudia. We next see in the hall, Derby has turned around facing Crowley's door, which reads two thirty four, until the dyslexia rearranges them to make two forty three. Derby enters Crowley's office, startling Crowley, who tells him he's in the wrong office. Derby quickly opens fire at Crowley who quickly states abercadabra, but no effect. He fires, then raises the gun to his head as Crowley, who's bleeding now, utters I mean hocus pocus and then he gets out of Derby comes too in Crowley's office, realizing what he's done. He begins to panic as we see doctor Rothman enter and find Derby. The screen suddenly freezes. But we're gonna stop here for a second. That's the error because his phrasing I thought was abracadabra. I think that that was meant to confuse us. Okay, what they established David was that he tended to use either abacadabra or hocus pocus, because he used abracadabra on him when he did the first killer. Yeah, so I think that that's why we would go what when he said abercadabra and he didn't work in the oh, hocus pocus because it seems like he was bouncing between them having you know whatever. But I want to point out a couple of quick things about this part. Yes, so number one, talk about extra cold blooded. He doesn't just send a guy to murder somebody, Yeah, but he decides to send him again to take the fall ye to kill someone and then get blamed for him. That's pretty cold, and I

37:58 love the dyslexia twist, but I have one question. If that guy has such bad dyslexia, how do you find the office the first time to go to the right one? Or was he originally supposed to see the doctor that wasn't going to cause him to kill people. That's just the thought. But I really liked the twist of the dyslexia. But I wanted to point out, did you notice that it seemed like something weird was going on with the gunshot? Yeah? From untrained well not untrained, I from my trained eye, I believe that if I had to guess, either A, they didn't have a squib, but I don't think that's very likely they had enough money for squibs. That's that's the That's what makes it look like you get hit by a bullet. It's an explosive charge on a metal plate on your under your clothes that pumps the blood out below. The B story definitely has them.

38:46 Yeah, so, but I'm just saying so, I think that what probably happened is the squib misfired in some way. Maybe the camera didn't capture it, or the gate was dirty or something and they needed an other take in a hurry, so they couldn't reset. They probably didn't have enough time to reset, or they mean, because you have to do a squib. Effect is a massive undertaking. You have to put not only do you have to get the explosive charge with the condom full of blood and everything in mountain under somebody's clothes, but you have to score the shirt, which is to cut the shirt and then you glue it together with a spray, ahesive and little pieces of toilet paper. That's how you get it to hold together so that when it gets wetted, it'll just open up. Yeah, because toilet paper dissolves in water. So you have to do all of those things and it's very painstaking. I bet that they simply didn't have the time, because I know that the show was shot five days according to Gil Adler and Jeff Freylick, who have said on the show that Freddy's was a five day affair, so and that's not a lot of time. You know, certain things are gonna have to be moved along. So the perspective I got was that the way that they did it, I mean, what I saw was that.

39:57 The way they did it was they had the guy shoot the gun and then they cut to him going oh and just the bullet wind was already there, so we didn't get any splatter or anything. It was effective enough. Yeah, I just noticed it. For us. I was like, huh, because I've done crap like that in movies too, to just get get away with a gunshot effect without spending a bunch of time and money. I still remember awkward Thanksgiving when you have a sponge for Brad with his gun shot. Oh well that wasn't a gunshot, that was a wound. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, No, we did was he was holding you know, that whole thing where he put pressure on. He was holding it, and what he was actually doing when he was pressing on it to keep it from her from bleeding was he had a kitchen sponge full of fake blood, so when he would push it would just bleed more. But no, on making out, we did a full squib. I forgot a yeah on the lead actor. Now, these were not explosive squibs. Nowadays you can do them with compressed air and it's much safer because there's no freaking explosive So we do it with compressed air now. And Robert Rodriguez was a big component of doing this. He was so he had a he had a weapon, a weapon. He had a tool he called the GUACAMOLEI gun. Yes, that would spray blood super fast and hard so when it would hit you and it explode. We didn't quite use a guacamole gun, but we did do that and it was very I remember people being like whoa when they saw it the way it looked when he got shot. Ye, So yeah, I just want to point that out because that was like a funny little side note.

41:13 Welcome to Pride time. We'll be right back. We're back now, bitch. No, absolutely, And I also want to want to say again that he the doctor and Crowley literally is making Derby kill this doctor and then he's going to have him shoot himself. Like yeah, so he's gonna have two dead patients in his on his record and under a week. But he has a perfect out because they have a killer dead to rights who killed themselves. Yeah, they were having mental and emotional problems and without even realizing it, or maybe he did realize it. Maybe his plan. I don't think he said it, but maybe his plan was to make it look like the guy it came to kill him who was his doctor, but then accidentally killed the wrong person. Maybe that was his plan, because I'm off their offices are right across across each other. Yeah, so that would be My guests would be that he wanted to make it look like, oh, this guy killed one of his patients and then was trying to kill his own doctor.

42:14 Yeah, that could definitely, yeah, I can see that. But then of course that would be like, but why did he shoot him? I don't know the witchcraft a wizard, didn't We cut to Freddie's domain, where we find Freddie kneeling and talking to us, stating, when I count to three, you will wake up fully refreshed. You won't remember a thing except that you'll want to turn to this channel this night every week so that I could mess with you some more. He laughs. One, two, three, and we watch him disappear, and we're all laughs, except that we're watching the show every week. Yep, yep, So what's our excuse? So that is the end of the A story, Henrick, would you like to explain the differences the A and B story and Freddie's nightmares? You always put this on me because you just want to take a sip of your drink.

42:59 Maybe, okay. So on Freddie's Nightmares, it was what's called a syndicated show, first run syndication. That meant it never aired on in specific network and aired on many stations all over America and Canada, and I would assume in places like that. So with that being said, the show is an hour long and it has a story and a B story. A lot of shows have A stories and B stories, but the big difference here is the A story and the B story are damn near separate in most ways. This is true, so there is a clear delineation between when the A story ends and the B story begins. And that was so they could cut off one end and air it as a half an hour show in certain timeslots in order to maximize the exposure of the television program. So they had to make sure that it felt like the story was over at twenty two minutes in or half an hour, and if you were watching it with commercials. So that's basically the A and B story. And I don't know how many, I guess nine more times I have to explain this, David. So what I love though about this episode is we do exactly what we did last week, where we really don't have a separation of two stories. They just believe, well, what we had we had the main antagonists die and then we had a new one introduced. Yeah, so yeah, you're right and you're wrong.

44:07 It's definitely not as as thinly tied together as especially the first season, where I think they were really working out the kinks of doing it that way. So because in the first season, it would be like, you know, a story about it, I'm just making something like a woman who is haunted by a crazy pizza man. Yeah, and like as she's waiting for the pizza, a Chinese food guy would deliver food and she would like go to like attack him like in the first act of her story and be like whoa, whoa nine fifty, but you could have a free man. So then she buys a Schaese food. Then as soon as she got killed by a pizza oven or something, it would be the big the big moment would be like it would go away, and then when we'd come back, we'd be following the Chinese food guy now like we Oftentimes it was just they would introduce the main character. Yeah, but they wouldn't be a major up.

44:50 But then we had episodes like Black Tickets where it felt like one long episode. Yeah yeah, So I mean it definitely your results very yeah, and your mileage made very in Springwood. So the b story begins back outside of the Springwood hospital, we see the flashback of Derby shooting doctor Crowley again watching his Rothman enters the room and the Derby runs out past him. We now find Derby in a hospital bed with a breathing mask on. We see Helen looking out the door and noticing that Derby has woke up. She runs to the bedside, telling him to put the mask back on. He questions why, but suddenly a police officer enters the room just as she gets the mass back on him. Hell It begins to point a flashlight at Derby's eyes, faking a check up in front of the cop, who is played by Michael Gregory. This gentleman has one hundred and sixty four credits on IMDb, starting with the Partridge Family in nineteen seventy one. He was in Cojack in nineteen seventy four, Two Minute Warning in seventy six, Beverly Hills Cop in nineteen eighty four, he plays the hotel manager when Axel goes to get the hotel room. YEA Band of the Hand in nineteen eighty six, Hey, I love that movie. RoboCop in nineteen eighty seven, he's the head commissioner or the head the head officer that ends up telling them to fire on RoboCop after he gets betrayed. But son of a bid Yep. He's also in Total Recall in nineteen ninety Seed People in nineteen ninety two, Zero Tolerance in nineteen ninety four. Yeah, Robert Patrick, that insane. Robert Patrick a racer in ninety six, and he also did voice work recently on Cyberpunk twenty seventy seven. I mean, who didn't I still owned that game and I can't play it because it doesn't work. So the officer tells her that he's looking for a five eleven male, dark hair dark Eves who killed someone in the

46:22 hospital. Helen tells the cops she hasn't seen anyone as she walks from Derby, leaving the cop a chance to look him over. He looks over Derby but shortly leaves after Derby then sits up as a panicked as Helen comes over to him and comments, I killed somebody, didn't I. We then cut to Freddie's domain, where we see a monitor beeping until a flat lane occurs. The camera pans over to a sheeted figure as the sheet comes down, revealing a laughing Freddy, who states, fooled you. My heart stopped years ago. I just like playing alive, playing alive. The guy in the hospital's playing barely alive. When I get through with him, he's gonna be playing dead. Freddy takes the respirator mass back onto his face, taking it big huff and really enjoying that air. Well, wouldn't you. I imagine the air isn't so fresh and Freddy's DuMaine probably not. So we cut back to the hospital room as Helen explaining to Derby what happened, adding, after Rothman frown Crowley, he ran and she found him in mild shock, so she gave him a sedative and told him to hide in and hit him in this room. She asked what happened, but Derby is quick to tell her he does not know, and Helen adds that Rothman says he saw who did it, adding that she that he described him perfectly. Derby states he's afraid he might be right, telling her about the dream that Crowley hypnotized him to kill the man, but he screwed up and ended up killing doctor Crowley instead.

47:35 Helen states that he sounds awfully crazy, but Derby can't argue with her and instead asked for his clothes. Helen tells him that she hid them, so Derby says to check his jacket pocket because he thinks he hid the gun in there. Helen goes over to the closet, removing a laundry basket, pulling out the jacket and pulling out the gun, reluctantly and shocked, looking at Derby, asking him how. Derby states he told her that doctor Crowley hypnotized him to kill and she would believe and she should believe it, as she's one who sent him to doctor Crowley, which is kind of in her face. Yeah, that was kind of a dick move, can't lie. Helen confirms she believes him, but worries that she'll be the only one at how far fetched the whole thing is. Derby begins in a panic and goes that he's got to get out of here, but Helen stops him, telling him they're checking everyone who's going in and out of the hospital. And even if she could get him out, his face is what will get him arrested if he's seen, well, that's a bit rude. Geez, I don't think he's that ugly. She then begins to tell him she's got an idea relating to a stint she had in Stockholm where she learned about infractive plastic surgery.

48:30 Oh, Stockholm, I'm a fan of their sins. Well, no, and what does she say? She suggests the thing that we've learned is very common, yes, which is that Springwood has plenty as no shortage of experimental medical procedures for you to sink your teeth in. Two yes, She says that she's that he doesn't need to worry about bruises or scars involved. It's fast because they use lasers laser and Derby is hesitant. But even with the use of lasers, Helen questions it if he has a better idea. Suddenly we hear cops talking outside as one appears outside the door again, he goes back and Helen goes to faking a check up on Derby. The cop walks past as you hear the two disgusts checking the hallways, Derby takes a deep breath and questions, what is she going to make him look like?

49:17 She embraces Derby, grateful of his decision, then tells him to pick a face that matches his structure out of a magazine. Derby finds one and they both agree as we cut to a shot outside the hospital and see one week later, do you ignored the part where she didn't like his first pick? Yeah, she was like, oh, his nose is so flat. And then she and then she flips through this magazine and finds these like black and white shots of this guy and goes, that's right there. Yeah, And immediately I knew that this was a very bad decision. So one week later, we find Helen cutting away Derby's bandages into his POV. As Helen looks concerned, Derby asked what the problem is. As Helen tells him she can't put into words how he looks, but instead holds up a mirror, revealing his face to be untouched. Looks the same as before, and Helen states that she liked his face the way it was. As the cops enter, she states they put a twenty thousand dollars reward on him as the cop leans in to look at Derby's face as well. Suddenly he wakes up as Helen is really cutting away the bandages, revealing the previous to be a nightmare.

50:13 And I love that. The way they did the bandages being removed was it was a POV. So you see the bandages wrapped around the screen and then the scissors start cutting them up and you see them standing around. I just thought that was a really clever way to do it though. It's awesome. So we watched her cut the bandages off with her nurse, and she tells him she tightened the throat muscles so his voice would be a little horse for the next few weeks, then puts up a mirror to reveal the surgery was a success. As Derby, who is now played by Paul Regina. He was in The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew in nineteen seventy eight, Greece on Broadway in seventy eight, the TV show Give Me a Break in eighty two, t J. Hooker in nineteen eighty three, Herman's Head in nineteen ninety one, oh Man, Herman's Head, Law and Order in two thousand and he embraces his new look. He tells Helen that she's an artist, and she states the man upstairs is the one he created the face. She just copied it. We then see the magazine that she got the image from, but suddenly the wind changes the pages. The gentleman with the headline under reading mob hitman turns states evidence and that's the same face that Derby is now wearing.

51:07 And I like that she couldn't have looked at the picture and like giving him a face like that. Yeah, she had to give it, like she's just mad. Yeah, yeah, like just no problemo, I'm gonna I'm gonna solder this face on you. And then she's sneaking him out. Yeah, like as if you can just give a patient like severe plastic surgery without anybody noticing, no one then just sneak him out. Well, you know Springwood, Springwood has you know, a A plus doctors there, and everything is on the up and up in Springwood. Nothing to be concerned about, you know, the economy's booming. I mean that makes you wonder if well, I guess, I guess Freddy's probably just bitter because he doesn't have good insurance from them. It's like, we have these incredible ability to make people look better. And Freddy's like, ah damn my cobra level. He had to have met with him at once, like especially after seeing this episode.

52:00 He's like, what you could do that? Yeah, he was like, I want to look like that attractive man from V and they were like, there are limits even what we can do. And then he was and then he was like what about this And it was just a picture of like Bob Shay and they were like, okay, we could do that. Just comes out looking at one of the members of Holler Oats, Oh my god, free and Freddie Freddy get it. I just I just immediately imagine Freddy mirror, mirror, mirror, just just the mirror drops down and his head's just a giant dick. It's like the perfect welcome to Pride time. We'll be right back. We're back now, bitch. So later that day, Helen comes back into Derby's room as he's getting ready to leave, telling him the cops are still then look out and she's checked him into a hotel under room two six seven and the name Brian Johnson. She will join him as soon as she can, and he tells her that he loves her before they kiss, and she walks off as Derby stands looking in the mirror admiring his new look. At Springwood Hotel, we meet Vinny, the mob hitman, who is hiding with the cops under the witness protection playing cards, with the cops commenting that they don't want to play anymore because Vinny always seems to have a winning hand. Vinny takes offense to this accusation, stating he's an honest man. He doesn't lie, he doesn't cheat, and he doesn't steal.

53:21 But the cops are quick to point out, no, you just kill, and Vinny quickly states old Vinny used to kill for money, but now he's reformed. That man's gone. Now, that man is gone. Now, the three bicker about the state of their hotel room is Vinny asked if they can get some maid service, but the two cops are hesitant due to a possible hit, but Vinny tells him that if she's on the payroll, he'll know what the maid looks like, before requesting again to get maid service. The cops agree and make the call before asking about a pizza that's also coming. Vinny thanks the cops, but one leans in telling him that he hopes he's wrong and that the maid blows him away, but Vinny quickly states he just hopes one of the hit man's is at Marco because he's a moron who can't shoot well and would probably wing his crotch before we got a real shot off. Hey, you know, he's like, I want to get made service. Oh. The two laugh, adding that they hope it's Marco.

54:08 Outside in the hall we find Marco, who's played by John Montenero. He only had two other credits on his resume, so not much in his After this, he pulls out a heavily silence pistol, which, am I wrong? Is that a desert eagle that he's rocking? The second idy my note says, uh says right here that silencer is not meant to be on the desert eagle. It is a desert eagle for the For folks who don't know anything about firearms, is a semi automatic pistol that is generally traditionally chambered in either fifty AE or forty four magnum. Those are gigantic bullets. Yeah, and the idea of having seven forty four magnums flying at you, or seven fifty A S which is a fifty caliber size bullet, is insane. You.

55:00 If it's possible to suppress a desert eagle, you would need something much bigger than that little tinker toy they had duct taped on the front of his gun. Yeah, but you know, say Lave, I mean it is Freddy's nightmare, so heavenly sivily silence pistol from his jacket loading it. We see Derby fighting his hotel room, unaware that Marco is around the corner watching him with his back still turn Marco emerges, getting a shot off and hitting a flower, taking off the pedals right by Derby. Wow. Yeah, I mean this guy, this guy's not good at gun. Derby turns, unaware of what has just happened and goes about entering his hotel room while Marco takes another shot, hitting missing him and shattering of glass that was the vase that was holding the flower. Derby turns again, unsure of what's happening again as Marco pops out a third time, this time shooting the table to the ground and getting Derby's full attention as he rushes into his room. Marco goes to pursue, but is stopped by two cops with a pizza pie around the corner as he goes out to put his gun back into his pocket. He walks off as the police ignore the table and hand off the pizza to Vinnie, and the cops see Derby on the phone with Helen, asking if he knows and if anyone knows about the surgery besides him, adding that someone is trying to kill him. Helen confesses that she was afraid this would happen, explaining they should have read the article associated with the face because he now has the face of a mafia hitman who's trying to turn states Yeah, but who has time to read these days, you know, in this day and age.

56:19 Derby quickly loses its stating, have you've seen the Godfather? Those guys are mean? Helen begs Derby notts like, that's not exactly what happened in the movie, which I thought was hilarious that she was trying to correct him about his awareness of the Godfather, so Derby not to let his imagination run wild and stay in his room and try to relax. She'll be over soon as she can to figure something out. Derby locks the door and pulls the shades, and he lays back on his bed, breathing heavy. Back in Vinnie's room, the three year startled by a knock at the door. As they go to the door, asking who is it. A female voice brings out made as they open the door, welcoming the maid, who is played by Mary Gillis. And she is one of those people that is in damn near everything. You would know her once you saw her. She started out in Fall Guy in nineteen eighty one. She has an appearance in Midnight Run in nineteen eighty eight, Full House in nineteen ninety three, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas in ninety eight, Sabrina the Teenage which drop dead Gorgeous, the Office, What we do in the shadows even shameless is some of her on her resume, and she comments, what is this Miami VISs Seeing the guns drawn on the officers outside the door, they search her cart and go to frisker and then tell her to go ahead and clean. Back in Derby's room, we hear a police siren as he wakes up. Noticing a lump in his bed, he pulls the covers back to reveal Helen's decapitated head on the bed as bullets begin to ring out shooting through the window. And that decapitated head very effective effect. Yeah startled me. Yeah, I don't know about you, but I was like, holy crap now. And they definitely put the actress inside the bed and stuck her head out of it, so it was like startlingly realistic though it was so. Derby dives to the floor

57:49 as bullets hit all around the hotel room and then they stop. He rises up the floor, realizing he was just having a nightmare, and a knock rings out from his door. He goes over and opens the door to find the maid, who looks up at him, asking did you do that? Derby asked what, and the maid tells him he was right across the hall ten seconds ago. Derby argues it wasn't him, and the maid comes into the room stating she swears there's a guy across the hall and look said. Derby takes a second and then thinks before repeating guy across the hall. We next see Derby on the phone trying to reach Hell him with no luck. Suddenly, Marco appears outside the room window and begins firing it to Derby, knocking him back on the bed. As he comes to again, revealing another nightmare. He gets off the bed and goes over to the window, revealing no one there, then immediately runs the closet, flinging open the doors to reveal no one in there as well. A knock rings from the door, and he goes who who is it? We hear Helen back saying it's me, and Derby opens the door to find Marco holding a gun on Helen and turns the pistol to him, firing. Derby comes to again, revealing another daymare, just in time for a real knock to ring out. He goes to the door, undoing it to find Helen on the other side with no gunman around. He pulls her in as he hugs her, and she asked and asked if she's okay, and asked she asked if he's okay. He fills her in, telling her that Vinnie is across the hall, so says the main. Helen tells him not to worry, and if the guy's across the hall is to be killed by an assassin, then all his problems are over. Hey, that's the positive, a positive attitude. Everyone will think he's dead, and Helen eggs Derby on, telling him that they should help the pros kill him since he's probably a bad guy anyway. You know,

59:20 I'm starting to think she missed the day that they took the Hippocratic oath. Maybe, just maybe, I mean, I'm not trying to say anything, but I yay. So Helen makes a phony call to Vinnie's room, posing as the front desk, reporting a suspicious guy hanging out in the lobby. The cop goes downstairs to check it out, leaving one with Vinnie in the room and across the hall, Helen and Derby watches he leaves. Helen then takes the gun from Derby's jacket, stating now for number two as she points the gun to the ceiling, firing blindly into the ceiling, with debris and everything raining down onto her. And I really hope they're on the top floor and that's not somebody else's room. Oh I'm pretty sure up was where some of the many orphans from Freddy's killings are staying. Yeah, Elvis is already dead, so he doesn't have to deal with this grap This is true, so she tells. So she fires the shot and uh, I lost my place here. Good, but we see the other cop draws gun, throwing Vinny to the floor, telling him to stay down. The cop enters Derby's room, where Derby is posing passed out on the bed. Suddenly, from the closet, Helen emerges, sticking the copets his herringe, knocking him to the floor. She tells Derby he has five minutes and sends him off to Vinnie's room. Derby enters Vinnie's room as Vinnie asked who is he? Around the corner, Derby watches as Marco appears with his gun approaching the door.

1:00:37 Derby tells Vinny he's really sorry about this as he rushes quickly into the closet. Into the hotel closet, Marco enters the room to find Vinny on the ground. As Vinny calls to him, Marco comments he could have swore he was wearing something different a few seconds ago. Vinny tries to tell him that there's another guy who was wearing what he saw, but Marco tells him that he's he ain't having it, saying that he might be dumb, Vinny, but he's not stupid. Vinny gets up slowly, approaching the closet door, reasoning with Marco, telling him that they're friends. Marco embraces Vinnie's words, telling him that that's nice, he always wanted to be friends with them, but he's still gotta kill him anyway. Yeah. He points the gun back at Vinnie, who's trying still trying to explain, but Marco tells him not to worry. He'll make it quick and as painless as possible. He fires a shot as Vinny is against the closet door, would zips through Vinny's shoulder into Derby, who's hiding in the closet. A second shot rings out as Marco hits Vinny right in the leg. Vinny requested, if Marco is going to kill him, to do it already, as Marco fires a third shot, killing both Vinny and Derby, who slowly sinks to the floor in the closet, still in hiding. The episode ends as we cut to Freddy, who's looking into the mirror he's holding and commenting, plastic surgery. Should I get some? Nah? Why mess with perfection? He blows a kiss to the camera and that my friends is Season two, episode thirteen. What you don't know will kill you? And that was quite a twist at the end.

1:01:55 I have to say that I really liked the he got shot by hiding in the closet whip while the guy he was he was looking like the doppelganger was getting killed. I thought that was a great twist. That was like a great little crescendo. Yeah, the story, I agree, and I was very surprised. I was not expecting it to have such a tight, almost easy comics esque twist. A lighter story for B two was it was kind of nice and surprised me a bit because I was like, are we still gonna follow the doctor's storyline? I like, how in your world it's like Italian's killing Italians? Good, good, good, Like that's a fairy tale. This is oh my god. I'm just trying to say, that's not what i'mant. I think it might be what he was trying to get at. But so when it comes to ratings, what are you thinking on this one? All right? So I think I think you'll hear about that once we're done with Freddie Freddy, how are you actually I didn't think so.

1:02:53 Did you know I was a hypnotist? Really? Yeah? Okay, that's the not the worst thing you've done, but go ahead. Oh you're funny, You're real funny. Okay, here we'll try this. Okay, okay, watch my claws, back and forth, back and forth, keep watching, keep watching, keep watching. Now when I snapped my fingers, you will be a total loser in your thirties, obsessed with stupid movies. It works. Yeah, well done, Freddie. Yah, it was pretty good. Yeah, all right, Freddy, anything else, Nope, So that's it. That's all you got, dude, he's he's already, he's already gone. Alright, bye Freddy, Yeah bye. Alright. So rating on this one. I did like this episode. It definitely was not a wasn't a favorite, but I really did enjoy it. I'm gonna give this a BAT minus. You're gonna give it a B minis B minus? And what what detracted it for being an A? I really really liked the first storyline. I thought it was pretty dark and kept me engaged and everything.

1:04:10 The B story just kind of was predictable after a certain point. I kind of solved the ending of him becoming dead because of the fact that he was wearing that face. Oh well, I mean, but that was obvious. But I don't think it was obvious that he was going to be hiding in the behind twist. I thought that twist worked really well. Yeah, but yeah, I mean that's really the only only real critique I had with it was that. But I know, it's a it's a fun episode, and it's definitely got a lot of things that you don't expect sometimes until you're reminded how dark Freddy's nightmares can get. Yeah, that's a fair point. Yeah, I would have to. I would give it a. I would just give it a solid bee solid buh, super fun, great twists as far as Freddy World, okay, but as far as anthology world, pretty good thumbs up. No, absolutely, yeah. I feel like his segments this we're kind of forgettable except for this, I mean he was in yeah yeah, yeah, no, that's fine. Yeah, that's fine. But as a as an anthology, I thought it really stood up pretty well solid, you know, as far as just a cheap syndicated anthology episode. A plus.

1:05:14 Yeah, and on Freddie's I mean, you have to grade on somewhat of a curve. Maybe, I don't know. I don't really remember when I rate anything. I don't really remember anything. But that's my opinion. I think it was pretty damn good, really fun though. I think so too. So you want to know what we're doing next week, buddy, I don't feel too bad, because next week I'm Dick. Season two, episode fourteen, Easy Come, Easy Go directed by William Malone. So Bill Malone's coming back good. He was our director on Heartbreak Hotel and Lucky Stiff, and Easy Come, Easy Go just happens to be a direct sequel The Lucky Stiff, which was the one with the lottery ticket and the woman who kills her lover.

Wait, wings Houser, the I have I have personal failte wings Houser. Yes, that's great. Yeah. Wings Houser comes to Springwood and the episode is wild.

He's laying behind Dave's stool right now and he's he's doing well after his surgery. We have not gotten the results of his his histology yet, but hopefully we'll get some good news. It would be nice if he could
