- I guess I was a very tortured child
and forced into watching a lot of scary movies,
even though I hated them.
- I tucked my sheets in when I sleep because this movie freaked me out!
♪ (upbeat intro) ♪
- (FBE) Okay, so today we're going to see how well
you know some horror movies from the 2000s.
- I might do decent in this but also I'm not gonna
hype myself up because, who knows, I might not know any of them.
There are a lot of cheesy ones in the 2000s
but, you know, they're still fun to watch.
- That's a little interesting.
I don't really know...
I don't know how I'm going to do in this one.
- I feel like I've seen horror movies from every era
except for this one, but I've probably heard of them
if I haven't seen them.
- You can go on Netflix and find so many
terrible, terrible scary movies, but when you find that one
that's really good, you tell all your friends about it.
- I was quite the scaredy cat as a child.
Now I could watch-- horror movies don't even faze me anymore.
I just think most of them are kind of dumb.
- (FBE) What we're going to do today is show you the poster
with the title blurred out. - Okay, I feel better now.
I feel better about that than having to listen to some
creepy horror soundtrack or having some--
someone jump up behind me.
- Oh, okay.
Then I might do good. I might do good.
I don't know yet. We'll see.
♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
(tapping table) - I know this.
They're like documentaries.
They seem like documentaries but they're not.
- "Blank blank is one of the scariest movies of all time.
You will be affected as it's hard to ignore
the imprint it leaves on your psyche."
- Okay, so this one was so crazy because nothing like this
had really ever been done before.
Like, I'm sure there's been ghost movies before,
but especially a found footage movie, and on such low of a budget
for it to be this good was a little bit ridiculous.
- (FBE) Do you know it? - I've 100% seen it.
I just can't think of the name.
- Is this "Nightmare on Elm Street"?
- It looks like a surveillance thing, so "Paranormal Activity."
- Oh, this is "Paranormal Activity."
- "Paranormal Activity."
- Oh, it's "Paranormal Activity."
- "Paranormal Activity."
- (FBE) This is-- - "Paranormal Activity."
I should have guessed.
My middle school self is so annoyed at me right now
because how did I not get that?
- It was pretty scary because I couldn't sleep for a week.
- (FBE) This movie was made on a budget
of $11,000 and it grossed almost $200 million.
- Wait, holy crap. $11,000? That's it?
Wow, that's really balling on a budget right there.
- That's how you spawn a bunch of sequels,
is you make a really cheap one and low risk, high rewards
sort of situation.
- I tucked my sheets in when I sleep because this movie freaked me out.
When he pulled her, I was like, "Aaah!"
Yeah, I can't mess with this movie. This is actually scary to me.
- I'd say this is a classic of my generation of horror movies.
♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- "Before you die, you see..." a very big blanked out word.
- "Before you die, you see..." the light?
- "Before you die, you see..." the ring?
- I see the well and I know this one is "The Ring."
- (FBE) Do you know it? - I don't know it.
- Is this "The Ring"?
Is this "The Ring"?
- Oh, but this is "The Ring." I've seen this one.
This is "The Ring."
- Oh! "The Ring."
- Oh, "The Ring." I saw the well.
- (FBE) So this is-- - "The Ring."
Oh, see, I wouldn't have gotten that.
- Oh, my gosh!
This movie scarred me as a child.
- That girl with her hair everywhere, that's how I look in the morning.
- (FBE) So there are some Easter eggs in "The Ring."
You can spot all sorts of ring designs on the doctor's sweater,
the shower drain, and even on Rachel's apartment number.
- I didn't even notice that.
I'm gonna go back and find that. I love Easter eggs.
- I was probably too scared as a child to even notice the small things.
I was probably just covering my eyes, trying not to cry.
- I love when directors and writers go in there to put
a little extra detail for the people that are really big fans
of these kind of movies.
The way the lady crawls out of the TV and stuff
is one of the most unsettling things and I wish I never had
to see that as a kid.
♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- "Scream your last breath."
Hmmm. "The best horror thriller since Alien."
- I thought this was the one where all the girls go hiking
and they go in the caves, but all I'm thinking of
is "Hills Have Eyes," and that's not right.
- Oh, it looks like they're making a school face
with their bodies, but, yeah, I don't know what this one is.
- I don't know.
I feel like it's "Inferno" something, but I don't know.
- "Scream your last breath." Oh, it's the skull.
It's "Scream."
Isn't it? Isn't that a thing?
- Oh... is it "The Human Centipede"?
- Is this "Final Destination" or something?
- No, I don't know this.
- I don't know it.
- (FBE) This is-- - "The Descent."
Oh, my god! Yes! There we go.
- (FBE) The cast was originally planned
to be both male and female, but the filmmakers later realized
that horror films rarely have all female casts.
- That's very true.
- (FBE) So he also gave the characters different accents to enable
the audience to tell them apart. - Okay, hmm.
Interesting. I mean, yeah, it's usually male/female
or mostly male and then they kill off the females first.
- It's cool that it's an all-female cast
but they don't look that happy,
so it's not really a female empowerment kind of movie.
- Props to them for having an all-female cast back then.
- Oh, yeah. I'm definitely watching this,
and I have a horrible memory, so it'll be watching it
for the first time.
♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- Oh, that's lovely. That's just a hand.
"Every piece has a puzzle."
- Okay, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this is my favorite
horror franchise of all time.
- "Every piece has a puzzle."
"Saw."
- Oh, "Saw"?
- Is this "Saw"?
- This is "Saw."
- Oh, "Saw."
- (FBE) Yes, this is "Saw." - Yeah!
It's funny how I know him, yet I haven't seen him.
I guess that just proves how mainstream they are.
- I think they're just so twisted that my mind the whole time
is like, "What the hell?"
So I do love this whole franchise.
- The first couple ones, oh, my god!
"Saw" were the go-to horror movies.
- They had such a small budget that when they were
talking about filming, the reason that
they're in one room the whole movie is because they didn't have
any money to film anywhere else.
And it's a really, really creative way to use that budget
to their benefit and it ended up paying off super well.
♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! I know this one
but I have to think of the name.
But I know this one.
This is the one where it's like the crazy death sequences
that happen in insane ways.
- Oh, my god!
Okay, this one, like "Saw," was one that gets so dumb
and ridiculous towards the end.
- It looks weird. It also looks kind of cheesy.
- (FBE) Do you know this one? - I don't know.
- I don't think I know this one.
- I don't remember what it's called.
- I don't know this one either.
- This one is "Final Destination."
- Is it "Final Destination"?
- This is "Final Destination."
- (FBE) This is-- - "Final Destination."
That's it. That's it.
- I actually really like those movies.
They haunt me because that stuff can actually happen to you
but I liked watching them.
- I've only seen one from the series, I think,
a long time ago, and it freaked me out
because it felt too real life.
- (FBE) This story was originally the concept
of an abandoned X-Files episode from 1993.
- Wow, and they took it and made multiple movies?
That's what I call creativity right there.
- This could have been a good TV show, to be honest.
They could have continued with this.
- It's like a Rube Goldberg machine of death, which is cool.
♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- Oh, what?
The heck?
- Okay, so Sarah Michelle Gellar.
I'm really trying to think of the one she was in.
- I know she's Buffy, but I don't think she's Buffy in this.
Um... I don't know.
- Is that movie about those people in the forest who--
I don't know. (laughing)
I'm just grabbing the most vague plot.
- Oh, my god!
This is the scariest movie of all time.
- I know where the scary person is, but I don't know what it's called.
- (FBE) Do you know it? - "The Ring 2"?
I don't know.
- "The Grudge."
- This is "The Grudge."
- "The Grudge."
- (FBE) This is-- - "The Grudge."
See, I knew it!
I knew it was something like that.
- My brothers tricked me into watching this movie.
I don't know what they told me I was watching,
but they had me walk in on a jump scare scene
and I was scarred for life.
- This and "The Ring" were the duo that haunted my dreams.
♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- "When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth."
That's fun. That's a concept.
- Is this like a zombie movie?
- So "Shaun of the Dead" is a spin-off of this movie.
- "Day and night." "Dead."
I know this one.
I have a horrible memory, so probably if you told me the plot,
I'd be like, "Oh, I saw something like that before."
- Oh, okay. I watched this two weeks ago
and it actually holds up pretty well.
- (FBE) Do you know this one? - I have no idea,
but that looks scary.
- I don't know this.
- I don't know.
- I don't remember what it's called, but I've heard about it.
- "Dawn of the Dead."
- (FBE) This one is-- - "Dawn of the Dead."
"Shaun of the Dead" is a better movie.
"Shaun of the Dead" is awesome.
- "Dawn of the Dead." Okay, I've heard--
Oh! I've seen this one, actually.
- I think I did pretty good.
I'm pretty sure I only missed that one which I did see, but it's been
such a long time ago and I only remember
a couple scenes from it, so I'm pretty proud of myself.
- I personally love horror movies because I just love the feeling
of being scared and I think it's fun to be with groups of people
and feel scared and-- I don't know.
It just really takes you to the twisted parts
of people's minds and just all these crazy concepts
that aren't real but feel real enough to scare you.
- I guess I was a very tortured child and forced into watching
a lot of scary movies, even though I hated them.
- You're making me want to go back and look at old horror movies.
