- The amount of effort they've put into this is amazing.
- (FBE) We wanted to see if you could name the horror movie characters
that were in this video. And we're gonna see which generation
knows their scary movies the best. - Oh, I am so not good with names.

That's a lot of detailed work. - It's like the music of it,
the costumes, the production value, and they're making references
to the horror movies. It's just fun!
- (FBE) So, those were a few videos by the parody boy band
Slashstreet Boys. - (chuckles) Slashstreet Boys.
That's cute. - It's like the Backstreet Boys!
Who would've thought. ♪ (badum-tish) ♪
- They sing well. They're funny. I haven't watched enough horror movies
to get the nuance of every single joke they make,
but they're pretty good. (chuckles)
- (FBE) So, before we go on, we wanted to see if you could name
the horror movie characters that were in this video.
And we're gonna see which generation knows their scary movies the best.
- Oh, I am so not good with names. - Oh, I'm so bad.
I named two of them. Those were the two I know.
- Oh, I got this. Ooh! (claps) I got this!
- (FBE) Who is this character? - Michael Myers.
- That's Freddy Kreuger. - I think it's Freddy Kreuger.
- Freddy Kreuger. I've seen somebody
on YouTube reenact this. That's why.
- This one's Freddy Kreuger. This was my favorite horror movie too
to watch around Halloween time is "Nightmare on Elm Street."
- (FBE) Who is this? - Oh, no. Should I just put down
another Michael Myers? Just, like, cover all the bases.
- Oh, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot.
Jason? - It's either Michael or Jason.
(chuckles) I'm getting so confused. Okay, Michael.
- That's not Jason. That's the guy from "Halloween."
I think it's Michael Myers. - Michael Myers!
He is from "Halloween." - Michael.
- Michael Myers, who I was always thought
it was really funny that it's like Mike Myers, the comedian,
because when I was younger, I didn't know the difference.
So, I thought Mike Myers from Austin Powers
was also Michael Myers, the killer. (giggles)
- (Austin, distorted) Yeah, baby, yeah!
- Okay, I think this is Freddy. - And that's Jason.
- Jason, the killer. - That's Jason.
I know that from the video game. - The mask is from
"Silence of the Lamb." I think "Silence of the Lamb" man.
I don't know. - Can I put Freddy again? (laughs)
I'll go with Felipe. - This is the weird-looking guy.
(chuckles) Pigface. - I'm putting Mike Myers
for all the ones I don't know. I'm hoping one of them's him.
- I don't really know that one. We're just gonna call him Curly Hair.
- Oh, that's-- shoot. It's "Chainsaw Massacre" guy.
I think they call him Leatherface.
- Oh, that's Wazzzup? That's his name, right? (giggles)
- I don't know the name. I'm pretty sure
it's just Scream maybe? That's just the movie franchise.
- I forget that guy, but he's, you know,
got that distinctive smile. I'm just gonna say Boogeyman.
- Ooh, this is Ghostface. I know this one.
"Scream," that was one of those horror movies
that was always super self-aware and funny, and I loved it.
- From "Scream," but I don't know if he has a name.
- He does. He said it in the song.
Shoot. - Oh.
- It's something face too, I think. - Scaryface? (laughs)
Ghostface? Probably wrong.
- Probably wrong. - (both laugh)
- (FBE) So, this is Freddy. - Got it.
- Right, okay. I got that right. It's very recognizable.
- He's a pretty iconic guy, so everyone should know him.
(buzzer) - Shoot! Nooo! (chuckles)
I really messed up. I really messed up, man.
- (FBE) This is Michael Myers. - Yay! I got it! Oh.
(ding) - Ayy! Okay, cool.
(buzzer) - Ah, man!
How could I not remember that? - Oh, Michael!
Yeah, who could forget old Michael? He keeps coming back.
Takes a licking and keeps on ticking!
- (FBE) This is, in fact, Jason. - (clicks tongue) Nice.
(buzzer) - Oh. That makes sense.
I've heard that before. - Got it right.
- Yeah, got it. I'm killing it.
- (FBE) This is Leatherface from the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" series.
- Oh, definitely wouldn't have gotten that one.
But I still think Felipe is a good name.
- Yay! - Yes! Whoa, we're so god!
- (FBE) And finally, this is Ghostface.
- Yay! Okay, sweet. - Ohh, the "Scream" guy, yeah.
- (both) SHUT UP! - That was five!
- I've definitely heard Ghostface before,
but it just didn't come to me. They're all pretty iconic.
Everyone should know them.
If you enjoy the spooky season, you should know them.
- The adults especially were the ones, I feel like, that grew up the most
with these characters, because they started early
in our childhoods when we were the most susceptible to being scared.
And then we got all the reboots.
- (FBE) So, the most recent Slashstreet Boys video was posted
on October 19th, and as of the release of this episode,
has amassed over six million views. - Whoa! That's pretty good.
- That's a lot of views. - Oh, good for them!
- That's crazy. - That's so exciting.
That's why I've only heard about them recently.
- (FBE) Well, this parody plays upon people's love of scary movies.
and slasher characters. Horror films have been a popular genre
for a long time. And as the genre grows,
horror films continue to try different things
to scare and excite us.
For you personally, are you a fan of horror movies?
- Not really, because I don't want nightmares.
- Heck no. Never.
I don't think I've ever watched a horror movie ever.
- Not really. Okay, I get scared by things.
When I was in third grade, "Goosebumps" terrified me.
- No, I hate horror movies a lot.
I'm not the kind of that wants to be scared.
- Not necessarily, no. In the good old fashioned days,
the horror films, you know, they go a certain pace,
and all of a sudden, out of nowhere, something will happen.
Where, in the new genres,
you never know when to expect something to happen.
- Okay, here's the thing. I just don't like slasher movies.
I really love the horror genre.
- Yes! Oh my god. - We love everything horror.
We do all the horror stuff during October.
- Good spooky stuff, scary stuff with a lot of special effects,
yeah, I like that.
There's mystery involved as well as adventure.
You know, is the good guy gonna away or is he gonna--
you're only gonna find pieces of him?
- (FBE) Finally, if you could help the Slashstreet Boys next video,
what would you wanna say that they should make
a horror parody of next? - Mmm... oh!
I think NSYNC, "Bye, Bye, Bye." And then, like, "Die, Die, Die."
- How about a Michael Jackson song? They could do, "I'm bad! I'm bad!"
(laughs) - If they just went full-on,
like, Billie Eilish, "Lovely." Could you imagine the contrast?
They're all, like, singing pretty and angelic,
but they have the masks and ugh.
- Any of the Backstreet Boys' new songs, 'cause then you'll get
the whole lifetime of the Backstreet Boys.
- Celine Dion, "It's All Coming Back to Me Now."
- (both laugh) - Like, flashbacks.
- So, when they killed people, like-- - How about "Forever Young,"
where you could make it "Forever Dead"?
You guys are more of an upbeat.
I wanna see you guys slow it down a little bit.
Let's see it. I challenge you guys.
