- All I'm saying is I'm having a Halloween party
and I will be playing scary movies.
I know you probably won't wanna come
because it's in a (mumbles)
- Ay ay ay
- [Tracy] You're not gonna come
- The commute, that's scary in itself
ever been on a train?
Insane, who needs a scary movie, just ride the train.
(pop music)
- Scary movies are literally the worst
because what's the word?
They're, um, scary
(dramatic music)
Yeah, and that's a bad emotion
- Scary movies allow you to feel a range of viseral
emotions in the safety and comfort
of your own home.
Also, they help you tackle your fears.
(electric music)
- I wanna make something extremely clear
okay, it everyone - I'm a ghost (beep)
What does that mean?
Okay, great, give me all the ghosts,
I want all the ghosts, give me the ghosts
(ghost boo-ing)
- Why?
Okay, cause you know, you know this gal,
she believes in spirits,
she believes in ghosts, she believes in the universe.
Okay, and sure you get a little scared.
[Tracy] Okay?
[Tracy] But they're here just to what?
I don't know, be in their own home.
You're invading their space.
- Okay, I feel like ghosts are just like
a small percent of what all scary movies are
and all scary movies to me are terrifying.
They are not fun, do you know a scientist said this-
Do we know science, have we heard of it?
(bubbles)
- It's a little term, yeah great we love science.
Okay, scientists literally said scary movies
can literally trick your mind into thinking that
what is happening on the screen is actually happening
to you , so Freddy Crugar is in your house
(growling)
- And you're watching that on TV,
you think that's actually happening to you
in your, in your real life.
- Okay
- How is that fun for anyone?
- Malcolm Kirby, who is director of the film
and media studies program at Tufts university
this is what he said:
"Horror films can put us in touch with what
we're really afraid of -"
Okay
"But they're usually - " uh "socially constructed fears"
(train whistles)
- Um, hello?
And that means that you can sort of break them down.
You can see them, you can engage with them,
and then you can go, how do I - how did this happen?
Okay, how can I fix this?
- You're, you're saying scary movies is like therapy
and you know what's like therapy?
Going to therapy.
Okay?
Because you know what else scary movies can make you do?
Crap your literal pants.
- Okay, I'm not not shaming therapy at all.
I will never shame therapy, go to therapy, please do.
- If you wanna feel scared, why pay 20 dollars
to go see a movie, when you can just troll Twitter,
and live in fear everyday?
- Who's talking about paying 20 dollars?
We got the Netflix, we got the Hulus, you can go
you can go to a library -
- Oh brother
- And get a DVD.
- Just tell me why you hate scary movies, right?
You're on my side, right?
Just comment below, because scary movies are the worst.
You watch a scary movie, you're watching it,
you're feeling scared, and then,
you go to bed, and what happens?
Nightmare.
You get a nightmare.
Does anyone like nightmares?
- I wanna say something here, and again
you're making me go on the books again to be,
what, pro nightmare, what is this?
All I'm saying is that I'm a thrill seeker, okay?
I am a thrill seeker, but we have to have a limit.
We have to have a guard.
I need to get my thrills in the safe and in the comfort
of my own home when nobody's around me,
nobody can hear -
well I want someone to hear me scream
(scream)
but in a good w- if I needed it.
- What?
But, in a good?
(boing noise)
- What is - can - name
What is one way a scream is good?
I feel I already live in anxiety every single day,
and to, to literally pay for more fear,
sounds like the most ridiculous -
it's like, it's like
- It's catharsis
- It's like, I don't know
swimming in poop and then being like,
can I buy more poop?
Because I'm out of it.
(movie reel noise)
- Anxiety is scary but you know what?
Horror movies could teach you,
don't run up the stairs you dumb idiot.
- What?
(boing noise)
- You know what I'm saying?
- That's what horror movies can teach you?
- Yeah!
- A horror movie can also make you feel like there's
a murderer literally in your house.
That's what a scientist said.
- Well I will give you that.
- In conclusions, scary movies are literally the worst.
Except for "Get Out", which was an awesome movie,
because it is a comedy and a horror.
It's two genres.
But for all other movies, they literally insite fear,
and I hate them.
(scary music)
- In conclusions, scary movies help us face our fears,
they help us feel something,
and they get us in the Halloween spirit.
(hand-smacking sound)
(beep)
(laughter)
(beep)
- In conclusion (laughter) I'm sorry
(beep)
- I shit my pants
(gasps)
- So did I and we know that.
- And we know that.
- And we know that
(laughter)
- Yours was more recent
(beep)
- The internet will come after me that I didn't
throw out the pants, I didn't need to
(laughter)
