This is the pre Halloween show. Here Back to the eighties. And to kick it all off, Chang, I know that you have a very special list. One of the things that distinguished the eighties was are Although there were some really nice costumes, but they tended to be the more expensive. People could not afford those costumes sometimes, so we would end up buying our costumes at either thrifties, Toys, r Rusts, Zodies, Gemco or even Fedco, all these stores that offered less expensive items, and the costumes were made out of plastic. The masks were plastic that had just a little string in the back that was kind of like the happy Birthday hats. Well that's what held your mask. By the time you were finished trick or treating, you lost about twelve pounds. You know. The funny thing, you never saw a crackhead trick or treating. I need some candy, but not that kind of candy. So I know that you brought a list, Chang, that you want to share with everybody about costumes, and I'm interested to find out what kind of costumes you're talking about. Well, you know what, as we all know, as children, we enjoyed the costumes, dressing up, putting on makeup, Halloween costumes. Every time you go out, you want to kind of surpass what you did the year before or be the hit of the party or the extravaganza that you are going to go to. When you decide to pick your costume.

Let's take a little breather here, we've got more back to the eighties radio when we come back. This is Rockwell with Somebody's Watching Me. And now back to the eighties with Toscano and Chang. Welcome back from Rockwell. This is none other than back to the eighties radio with the Halloween Extravaganza with yours truly, Tskano and Chang. One of the things that really distinguished the eighties era, especially on Halloween and even before Halloween, was the movies. We had lots of horror movies and scary movies on Halloween, and a lot of us made it a tradition that either before or throughout the day you'd be watching scary movies for Halloween. Some people even went to the theater for Halloween. So I thought, what better to do than to talk about some of the great A movies and B movies of the eighties. So let's kick it all off. Chang. I've got a movie from nineteen eighty six that was one of the old time great horror movie posters posters, not the movie, but it had one of the greatest movie posters of all of the eighties. And it was a nineteen eighty six cult classic, which kind it's kind of a slasher film. Well, it was a slasher film and the manor House murder mystery, and it had to do with a group of college kids weekend getaway that turned bloody when someone started picking them off. In the movie that was known as April Fool's Day. And you'll never forget that epic poster that they had. I think the poster was better than the movie, by the way, Yeah, of course the poster. A lot of times the poster is better than the movie. But that's the kicker. That is the drug that they used to captivate you to come and see their picker. The poster, the movie poster. Forever since movies have been created, the movie poster is the approdisiac to get you the movie goer. The movie posters were just fantastic. Everybody wanted to have some type of a movie poster at some point in their life, and that just happens to be one of the epic movie posters of the entire era of horror movies in the eighties. Yes, now, Tisconnell, seeing that we're talking about some great Halloween movies, you know the chant during his little chantastic times, I created my top ten great Halloween movies. Did you really well? Yeah, we're all yours. Let's hear me and missus Chang compile this list. Oh, okay, are you ready? So it was it was a deep effort. Yes, So I'm hoping that the crescendo of music or applause that I will be hearing in my own mind that you will transcribe into the show to make it sound even bolder than it is, right right, Okay, we'll give it a shot. Okay, thank you very much. Are you ready? Okay, take a deep breath. I know you're I know you're afraid. You're afraid. I'm scared, scared, scared. Yeah. Number one has to go to Yes. The Shining nineteen eighty a film made by Stanley Coopering, a mastermind of the horror epic movie making. It bolstered Jack Nicholson's unhinged performance, and he was just overwhelmingly scary in this movie. Probably the two scenes that I have always remembered from that movie with him. The number one scene is when he is after Shelley Duval in the bathroom scene. Here's Johnny. And then the second scene when he's chasing his son in the man the snow scene. Yeah, yeah, an epic movie. I mean, you always wondered what he was gonna do with a Laker game. A man, I'm not dagging the way you guys are playing the game some kind of craziness. Number two is from nineteen eighty two, a film by John Carpenter. Yes, some of you fans out there are familiar with the works of John Carpenter, and I'm talking about the thing. Oh yes, the title alone, and of course the movie poster. Oh who can forget that in itself? A movie that is about an alien who visits and takes human shape and then coexists in them in people in hiding, and then the creature effects, and I mean everything, and I'll never forget the performance by Kurt Russell. All these movies that I'm going to mention were viewed by mister and missus Chang with. Our children are three older daughters, so they grew up enjoying the entertaining facts of horror theater where they knew Hey, you know it's not real, but man, damn crazy. Okay, are you ready for number three? Number three is probably one of the most sought after and scene yet carried on a little bit too long epic movies, as Nightmare on Elm Street by Wes Craven in nineteen eighty four. Toisconnell, was that not truly scary, but do you feel the character got carried on a little bit too long? Well, first of all, let's go with a scary The very first time it came out. It was original. Nobody had ever dreamed, no pun intended. Nobody had ever dreamed about writing a movie about a killer coming in your dreams and actually killing you in the dreams. And the character of Freddy Krueger and the story behind him where he was a child old abuser, evildoer and then they punished him by by burning him alive. It was just great writing. And if they would have just left it at one movie two at the most, I would have been fine. But they stretched it out so far that it just became ridiculous. It became instead of one of those high rated Hollywood horror flicks, it became nothing but a B minus movie that Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, would probably present on a on a Saturday evening. Yes, take a quick listen. This is the trailer. The kids of Elm Street don't know intire but something is coming to get them Nightmare on Elm Street. She's the only one who can stop it. If she fails, no one will survive. West Craven's Nightmare on Elm Street ratedar now playing in a flagship theater near you now. Number four Flies in no pun intended from a movie in nineteen eighty six by David Rosenberg. I'm talking to movie The Fly with Jeff Goldbloom as he transformed into being like a scary looking dude already into a fly. I'm not talking about the older version of back in the fifties. I'm talking about that version if did you see it? I remember And the greatest phrase from that movie is a free don't be afraid, no, be afraid, be very free. And now he's the apartment guy figured, Oh that's right, that's right, Oh yes, and now here five single An American Werewolf in London by John Vandis John Landis. He's done some. He's bounced around. I think with the type of movies that he's created, some distagically funny movies, some scary movies, some serious movies. He's got a brilliant mind. But I have to say the American Werewolf in London that came out in nineteen eighty one, and that is probably one of my favorite werewolf movies. And I do really enjoy the werewolf movies. My brother, what did you think of that? It was a very scary movie, but it also had a lot of humor in it, which I was never expecting to see or here in in a horror flick. I wanted to see you, hi, David. Put that down. Okay, you've seen me, Now go away. I'm sorry. I'm upsetting it, David, But you don't understand what's going on. I understand, all right, you're one of the undead and I'm aware wolf. Yes, that's right, Get out of here, Jack. Tomorrow night's the full moon. You're going to change. You never expect it, But there is humor in it which kind of throws you off, just to ease a little bit from that tension that was built. Especially. I mean it came out in eighty one. This was unheard of for eighty one, and it was very very scary for that time. I didn't see it until maybe a couple of years later on video rental. Of course, you know, I was I was little. I was about ten years old when it came out, or nine years old, nine years old. And yeah, they didn't they wouldn't let me do the theater to see that movie was rated Art. But a couple of years later, a few years later, I did see it at my cousin's house because hey, we could see everything. Do you guys were probably drinking wine before and then you drank immediately holy water because a movie you scared the hell out of you Catholic boys. You know what's interesting that at the run the same in that same year was another werewolf movie written by John Sales, which it was Joe Dante's contribution to the werewolf genre in eighty one, and I'm talking about the movie The Howling was a crazy movie. The Howling. I think that may have been a little bit. Do you think that was a little bit scarier than American Warrewolf in London? Yeah, I think it was a lot scarier. The thing that made the American Werewolf in London scary was the visual worthy you have him turning into a werewolf, right, you know what I mean? Yeah, and then you take, for instance, the background of London, you know, the graveyard, just a transition the size of him. Yeah, the comedy did kind of make it kind of a cheesy horror movie. But yet at the same time it did break up the storyline of is it going to get more gruesome? You know where it was gruesome enough, but the humor kept it. I think on the bounds of old school horror movies. Yeah, you know what I mean, a light bounce where you have enough cheesiness to laugh at and enough scary ambiance that is working into the scene to hide your kid's eyes. So I agree. But the Holling definitely is a movie. You better be aware of what you're watching before you take your kids, because it'll screw them up if they have bad dreams. Then the kids will be sleeping in your room, you'll be getting no sex, and one of you will be getting mad at the other spouse, going, I told you the kids shouldn't see it. You see what happens, Thank you, thank you, very boy. Number seven is Evil Dead two oh, nineteen eighty seven. To Scott, what did you ever watch the Evil Dead series, not the series by Sam sam Rami, No, you never did. No, but remind me about the Evil Dead. Was the character ash there would be I guess, the Savior, the Warrior, the slayer of all the demons. Yeah, he was the comed It was a comedic sort of character, right, kind of a comedic, very comedic character. Yet he was the stud He kind of looked like I would say, he would look kind of like Superman meets I would say, kind of a swashbuckling cowboy type. He kind of looked like the uh, the American Werewolf in London a little bit. You know. He's yeah, but I mean, what's what's what's good about those series? He's like he fights some scary looking creatures man, some skeleton looking things, and they're just like out of the bowels of hell. Uh, you know the characters that they create that this dude's wore where you know that he wards off, which to me is makes this particular one and some of the other ones just as scary. It's the visual kind of cheesy, you know what I mean, kind of you kind of know where it's going to go, right, The handsome guy's gonna kick ass, save everybody. Get the hot chick. Maybe you know what I mean. Keep in mind, I know that everybody listening, there's one or two people out there that are going, oh, they were so predictable back then. Well, yes, yes, but that's the beauty of them. Yeah, that's that's part of the beauty of them. But you gotta remember that when you saw this for the very first time, it wasn't predictable. You had no idea. It only became predictable when you saw more than one movie, when you saw more than one part of a movie. But if it was the first time and there was a scene that jumped out at you, and I'll never forget chang. What really made scary movies scary, even more than the story was the music behind it, the score. You know, the music, because it was building up and building up and building up, and then you knew there was a portion of that sound of that music that just it cut off and you could just hear them waiting for something, and then all of a sudden, the music just pops out at you and everybody would jump from their seats. You remember that movies have changed drastically, i'd say, from the eighties era to you know, nowadays with movies that classic musical build up, we hear less and less in certain movies nowadays. Number eight, I'm sure everybody out there's watched it and got freaked out. If you're into the television scene. I'm talking about nineteen eighty two's Poulter Guys by Toby Hooper. Oh. Yes, one of my favorite movies. The lead character passed away in a very questionable form. The big sister of Poulter Guys was murdered. Do you know this right, right? So a lot of people of the film died in very questionable ways. And so there was always that legend, that urban legend that went around suggesting things happen in the spiritual realm or in the paranormal realm in that movie for reels, And you know, Steven Spielberg directing this h this horror, this horror flick, and it was just an incredible movie. And if you were watching it for the very first time, such as I did, and you saw that that little kid in his bed freak out when the clown disappears from his chair in front of him, and then he reaches over the side of his bed and looks under his bed and gets dragged by the clown, hands down one of the creepiest and scariest moments in cinema horror history for me. Oh yeah, you could fill the hair's rise on the back of your neck. You get that little chill, you know what I mean. It's funny because then that will carry you onto like when you're walking to your house and the nights are out and you know what I mean, you you self constantly think about that. Oh man, that's that's crazy. Yeah, and you know what that It was that movie that made a lot of people hate clowns from that moment on. I mean, clowns were not that popular to begin with, but after that movie, I don't know. I think it was John Wayne Gacy that started freaking people out of about clowns. Yeah, yeah, Sick number nine. I gotta tell you. Back in nineteen eighty eight, Child's play Oh Yes, good old Chucky Chucky. Now, my brother in law Dan one time took our girls to the mall and the little one, baby Jen was like maybe five or four, and you know, she saw that movie, you know, with her at the pad one time with her sisters, and she got freaked out. Well, they went to the mall and that doll was at KB Toys. So my brother in law took the doll out and he was making a walk around for for the little one, and the little one took off running and screaming through the mall. My brother and I had to go chaser. Here's another movie that it's the first of its kind. You know, an evil person in the habits the toy, a toy out of witchcraft and by putting a spell before he gets killed. And it was a creepy, creepy movie, especially when he was after the boy. And you know what that movie that that child actor, I mean, great kid actor. I'll never forget it. Oh yeah, I mean anybody that has ever played with toys, dolls, action figures and then you know, sometimes you set them up before you go to sleep and they're on guard or what have you. Or you sleep with dolls. You check out that movie. When you're a little bit too young and you're not going to be playing with no action figures, sleep with ny dolls. You know what I'm saying. Right, you're gonna be burning those little more neath those now. Number ten is none other than nineteen eighty seven's Hell Raiser by Clive Barker, Oh my guy. Oh now Pinhead. Uh, he's a good friend of the program. Uh he introlled the show today, So are our hats off? That's right, that's right. It was Pinhead. You know, we're just going ahead and poke at his uh celebrity. We borrowed. We borrowed Pinhead. Well, since Mark and Bryan are no longer here, Pinheads still needs a show to hang around. Yeah, he needed a gig, so we gave him. You know, he's always good. He is always the hammer on the nail type of guy. Yes, you know what I mean. He's always pin pointed sharp if you know what I'm talking about. You know what. He's always one that you can hang on every word. Oh my god? All right, and who do you? Number ten? Is that number ten? That is number ten? And that is the mister and Missus Chang's top ten Halloween flicks of the nineteen eighties. That, my friend, was an excellent list. And I gotta say, as we go to a quick break from the Fat Boys, this is are you ready for Freddie? On the one and only Back to the eighties radio show on k hits ninety two point five. You're listening to back to the eighties. Back to the eighties radio that was The Fat Boys with are you Ready for Freddie? On a fantastic pre Halloween Evening? And back to the eighties radio. Monday is Halloween here in the United States, and tell us do you guys celebrate anything similar to Halloween if you're from another country, let us know through our Facebook page. We would really appreciate it. Also a reminder to leave us a review on whatever platform, whatever podcasting platform you listen to us on. It would help us out so much. Just leave us a review, long or short. We really really appreciated. Before the break, you actually gave us the list that you and your gal compiled of the greatest eighties horror flicks. Well, I don't have a list myself, but I do have a few honorable mentions that I want us to discuss. One of them from nineteen eighties on Cunningham's Friday the thirteen. Check this out. I don't want to scare anyone, so I'm gonna give it to you straight about Jason. Hey, you guys, look at this. Just can' blook. This place is on the same lik as we're gonna be. Oh, he's still out there. Some sort of demented creature while was you out of located in the next county quiet for five years, And that's the way we want to keep it. The legend has it that Jason saw his mother at the head of then he took his revenge, for revenge that he'll continue to seek if anyone ever enters his wilderness again. Oh my god, Oh my god. You know, the child dies, he's drowned, and you never expect that the killer ends up being Should I give it away? Here's a spoiler alert. So if you've never seen Friday thirteenth, the original, cover your ears. Who would have thought that Jason was the mom? Did you ever expect that? No? I never ever would have expected that. But again, we are in a change of times, so everything has to be pretty much politically correct. So why wouldn't a female be just as capable as slaughtering human beings with a male? Why? And that's true? Yeah, who better than an angry mom who's got some mountain skills and been jilted other than to be Jason. What a mind twist? What an acid trip? I mean? But why not an angry mom? Who would have believed? Who would have thought that Tommy's mom up the street. Yes, was hacking people that came to her house. Why wouldn't you. I told you, damn kids to stay away from my property. I told you, damn kids. Now, the next movie on my non list is this one right here. Take a listen. Ten years ago, on the night of October thirty first, a small Midwestern town fell victim to an escaped killer. Under the cover of darkness, he carried out the most horrifying mass murder on record, sixteen people in cold blood. Ever since that night, no one has forgotten his name, and Halloween has never been the same. Now Michael Myers has come home. He has returned for one more night of unholy terror. He's here to kill that little girl. Hon't anybody who gets in his way? Oh God, who's gonna be next Halloween four? The return of Michael Myers might mean nobody knows how to stop it. Halloween is not your typical slasher film franchise. It all started in nineteen seventy eight. Once again, just like Friday the Thirteenth from nineteen eighty, it blew audiences away and then continue to do it for a few more parts, with Part two and eighty one and part three, and I would say even up to part four. Maybe maybe there was one version of Halloween that I disliked completely, and I think it was the one in eighty five season of the Witch because it had nothing to do with the original Slasher. I don't even think it was the real Michael Myers, and it had to do with some weird cultic people. I mean, it was just such a weird spinoff of the movie. And but like you mentioned with the Freddie Krueger movies, the Nightmare in El Street movies, there comes a point when it's just too much. There comes if the guy was on crack, if the guy was on meth, if the guy was possessed. Come on. There was a scene there in one of the I believe it was in the nineteen eighty eight it was in the Return of Halloween or one of those, that he got shot like two hundred times with shotguns, with pistols, with hand I mean everything, and then he falls through a grave, he gets stabbed, I mean, everything happens. And then you get Halloween h twenty, which is the twentieth anniversary of Halloween with Kathy Lee Curtis that comes out and l COOLJ comes out. I actually liked Jamie Lee Curtis. Yeah, I'm sorry, Jamie Lee Curtis comes it's her cousin, and so Jamie Lee, Jamie Lee Curtis comes out in it with L. L. COOLJ as well. I actually liked that flick. And it should have ended there. It should have ended there. Why because she cuts his head off? But what happens, no somewhere. Oh, that was an alternate universe. And now that everything is an alternate universe with movies, they're remaking it and remaking it and remaking it, and I mean it's got to stop somehow. So what did you like about LLL. Coolja's portrayal in the movie. I like it that he didn't get killed because you remember it back in the ages, black people usually were the first ones to go, and this film, of course, wasn't in the eighties. The h twenty was twenty years later. You know, it was nineteen ninety eight. But I think that was a great finish to the whole Halloween franchise, and it should have ended there. But no, it continued and then even Rob Zombie made his version of a more realistic version of Michael Myers, which was a great film in itself, but that was another one of the films that I think distinguished the eighties horror genre, and it just made it stand out. How about. I didn't think that they allowed l to lick his lips enough, and at least they didn't let him take his shirt off. Yeah, he should have taken his shirt off and licked his lips a little bit more. Maybe that would have warded off the spirits and then the DEMI you know, you never know about. Yeah, But to make it to make some people happy, they had him read sexual poetry. Do you remember that movie. There's a part where he's reading sexual poetry to his girlfriend over the phone. She took off for clothes, revealing her sat and he saw femininity. And Lawrence looked at it with lust in his eyes and said, I want to invade every part of your being. I want to tantalize myself with your sweet nectar. He plays a part of a security guard at the private school. The guy is just oozing sexuality no matter what he does. Cool Ja, that's right, That's right. Some other honorable mentions. Nineteen eighty five. Nineteen eighty five producer movie called Fright Night from Tom Holland, and that was a movie about vampires, and it also produced a cult flick that today has a cult following, and that is The Lost Boys, which is also ah, yes, about vampires, young vampires. I should say. I was just going to mention that movie. Also, oddly enough, they looked like about young changs. Those I would have hung out with those cats. You know what, you probably would have Oh yeah, I would have had a hell of the time. I would have. I would have There would have been nothing that I wouldn't have sunk my teeth into. That's right. Now. There was one sucked the life. Okay, there was one film in nineteen eighty that was kind of creepy. Even the remakes are very creepy. But this was a movie that had to do with a natural phenomena that came ashore and people started just dying. And that was the movie called The Fog. I remember that movie and I thought, Wow, this movie is lame. Yea hater, I did. I did idea? What are you gonna do? How about Pumpkinhead? You know, I did get to see that, but it was now that I was an adult, and I wasn't impressed with Pumpkinhead. I preferred much more from nineteen eighty two, The Slumber Party Massacre, if you know what I mean. It was a slasher film, but the poster was nice and so was the movie. We've got a real treat because when we come back, we've got a time where you get to express your scary stories, either from back in the eighties or from today, or just something creepy that's happened to you.

All right, if you're just joining us, we are having our pre Halloween extravaganza here and back to the eighties radio. A few of you guys are calling in right now, so let's go directly to the phone lines here and back to the eighties and to hear your scary stories. Steven and other that you have something Halloween related with an Eighties kind of twist to it and a band. What happened? Well, Si Cernan, who's the lead singer of a great band called The Fix, told me that while they were shooting one of their music videos in this old castle, I believe he turned around and he actually saw an apparition of some kind, a ghost of some kind, so sent chills up up his spine. So that's a that's one that actually actually happened. Now, did this by any chance to get recorded onto video? No, No it did not. It was not when the when the camera was rolling. You never know when that type of thing will pop up. I mean every Halloween we always look forward to Thriller, so I always take a look at that one too. So hopefully you know, people will take a look at Thriller one more time and check out our john Land this interview in Music Video Time Machine Magazine. We'd love to Stephen, thank you so much, Thank you very much. From southern California, we have Lindy on the line. Lindy, you've got a scary and spooky story from the eighties. What do you got, Well, this is actually scarier for kids than for me. My mother and I used to terrify children when I was a teenager, and she was totally into it. So this is what we would do to the neighborhood kids. I grew up up in Massachusetts and in the fall, we always had lots of apples. So what we would do is we would take the red apples polisham really really shiny, because remember snow White took a bite of an a red apple and fell into a coma. So you couldn't You could not do this nowadays. But my mother would dress up as that evil witch and she'd opened the door and cackle, and she'd have these red apples in her hand and she'd do the oh, my pretties, please take a bite of my apple and see if you'll live. You know, the neighborhood parents thought it was fabulous, and the kids would be all freaked out. But they'd take the apples, you know, and they'd go off. Now that wasn't the end of it, however, because we lived in the woods and we had a long driveway. I was hiding in the bushes along the driveway in dark clothes with a nylon stocking pulled over my face. So as these little terrified children were running down the driveway, I would jump out and scream at them. And I swear we made kids pee their pants. Well it was so pants now and I'm here in a studio that is creepy. Look, First of all, you lived in Massachusetts, and we know that place has a lot of history. Oh yes, a little Salem. Yeah. And secondly, you lived in the woods. No, I mean, you have a recipe for another movie there. And I'm one of those people. I don't like getting scared, but I love terrifying people. I do that at my front door now with the neighborhood kids. I scare kids as much as I can. I dress up in a costume and hold really really still, usually with a clown mask because that's the worst. And I hold really really still holding the bowl of candy. And the course, the little kids walk up to grab the handy and then I jump at them and they scream and run. Their parents think it's wonder Polly. Well, yeah, it's a fantastic story. Thank you for Sherry and your story. Here, I'm back to the eighties radio. Oh you're welcome. All right, this is back to the eighties. We got Ricky from Norwalk. Ricky, what's your scary story for tonight? I have a pretty funny story over here in Norwalk. We used to always have haunted houses in people's front yards. We would go to those. We went in when kind it was me and my girlfriend. We went in and I'm looking at a teenager came at me with a chainsaw with a clown mare, like a real chainsaw bro You know how we do out here, and you're in Norwalk. We didn't care back in the day. Yeah, it was on and came at me. I'm like, oh hell no, I just straight up clocked him and knocked him out. I was like, oh shit, and we better get the hell out of here. Wait, wait, wait a second. So you knocked out a person with a prop who was just doing their job, and you just knocked him out. I'm not gonna say it was their job. It was their house. It was a personal haunted house. But yeah, he came at me, and I'm thinking, okay, this might be this is like a real chainsaw like and I don't like people. I have a legit here of people with evil with like mask. I don't know why came out when I came out my girlfriend actually, and that's what made me mad. So I just a whole clock and I was like, oh my god, that just happened. Like Iran, I'm a changer. So I was just like up and ran out, you know, like, oh my god, what does happen? But scary wise, you'd be surprised. But I'm kind of scared of knives. I hate nives and Scream was the big one for me. And we actually did have a scary movie night one night we were walking Scream. I swear to you that was freaking out the entire night. And then for like weeks on end, I was having Terror's nightmares. It was freaking nuts. All right, Ricky, Well, thanks for the story. We'll check back next Halloween. Sounds good man, Happy Halloween brother. We got one of our homies from Arizona calling in, mister t Toss, please tickle the Ears of the Weary tell us this story actually takes place in the eighties. I think it was nineteen eighty eight, and there's a lot of blood. So it's Halloween nineteen eighty eight. Me, my friend Gordy and Roya, we're gonna go to this up on Camelback Mountain, High faluten shit, you know, big place. They spend tens of thousands of dollars on decorations alone, which I think everybody does these days pretty much. Yeah, mcdan, it was a lot of money. So we're going up to this big party, you know, open bars is supposed to be a band, everything's everything's perfect for the night. So my friend Gordy goes out to get cleaned up. He's going to get into his mummy costume. I'm going as the Wolfman. My friend Roy gives her a roommate and her car keys so An can go to another party. I'm getting ready to getting into costume. She gets in the costume, she's doing her makeup, she did my makeup. We're ready to go, except she doesn't have a house key because that's on her car keys, which she gave to her roommate. And okay, well we probably should lock the door. I mean, it's like we're in Scottsdale. It's not like a high burglary rate there anyway. But she's like, oh, I know, we can lock the door and we'll go through Anne's window. I'm like, okay, sounds fine, We're going to Ann's room. She climbs out the window and there's like one of those iron rod gates to like, you know, prevent criminal activities. I guess we have to climb over this thing. She climbs over first, No problem. I climb over. One of the bolts holding this thing slips out, the gate comes crashing down, and I come crashing down on top of it. She's laughing, you know, she's seen what has just happened. So I get up. Yeah, there's blood gushing out of my thigh. Man. I'm like, oh my god, this could be really, really bad. So my friend Roya sees the blood gushing out, you know, while she's laughing, and then she starts crying and I'm like, uh, okay, this isn't good because one of us has to drive and it can't be me right now, So I calm her down. She drives me to the hospital and we spend Halloween in the emergency room with me getting my legs stitched up? How many stitches? Oh, I don't know, but you know, it's good. It didn't hit the femoral artery, which could have been deadly, and it didn't hit the family jewels, which could have been you know, all man frankin balls is terrible. So my friend Gordy you know, up the next day and says, you know, what happened? You guys? Where were you? This is the day before cell phones kids. Um, So he calls me the next day says where were you. I'm like, I tell him what happened? You know, could have died, spent the night at the hospital, lots of fun. And he says to me in it like a sad voice, I had to spend Halloween all alone. The award that was the kiss complaint. Huh yeah, yeah he was. He was a bit windy about Yeah, he's uh, he's still kind of that way. We really appreciate the story and we're glad that the legs okay. The you're okay, thanks guys. You guys have a safe and a happy Halloween. Hey, you do the same, and keep it scary over there. Yeah, keep it scary. We have the lovely Dania from Turlock, California. She's going to give all you little booze and who's a little fright d tell us your scary story, Well, my scary story. This is something that really takes me back because in my humble little corner of the world, we have the gorgeous mountain ranges, the Saratoga Mountains, and when I was when I was a teenager, we used to love to drive up into the mountains and you always hear about the myths about the mountains. So on Halloween nights back in my high school years, we were driving me and a couple of friends were driving up in the Saratoga Mountains. And as we were driving through, of course telling really scary story. As we were driving back down the mountain side, I kid do not, there was a woman, a woman that was walking on the side of the road and she had on no cloak and she was just staring forward and she was just walking and it scared the you know what out of all of us. And then they weren't just a bunch of teenage girls giggling and just laughing it up. And then we see this woman and she looked like, she has this really scary look on her face, and we preached out. We just hit the gas and we just got the heck out of there. And so were you using cannabis? No? Oddly enough, oddly enough, we were not, So we had we got to rule that out automatically. But we were so frightened by the time we got down the mountains and we went to the police and we said our story. They didn't believe us. Say, of course, they're like whatever, teenagers, you know, stopped smoking it or start sharing it, right, It wasn't one of those issues. So but they didn't believe us. They did that. But when we went back to school that that next week, we had heard the myth. Of of course, in the mountains, you know, you have different resorts and stuff like that. But there was actually a hospital, a mental asylum if you will. That was back in the day. And actually that that is true. There is a hospital up in the Saratoga Mountain that is very true, and there was a mental health wood that's very true as well. But the story is there was a woman that had escaped from the mental facility and they had never seen her since. Now, of course, this was a woman that looked very young, so the story was very old. But we really freaked out when we heard that because there really was some truth to part of that table. So whether we saw a spirit or weather, we just saw somebody who smoked a little too much that night. That's the scary story, because that woman looked just as real. I mean, if we had actually stopped, he might have really found out. But we were just so fucked out we just kept going, Wow, that's crazy. I probably would have picked her up and tried to hit him. You know, I think I saw Deniah. I think I saw as a naked man as well that very night, but that was just a chang anyway. Denia, thanks for the for coming back to the eighties with your story. I am just so preciative of being able to do it. Kay back to eight Happy Halloween, Denia, and remember don't pass out any bad candy or popcorn. Those are bump treats. And saying remember always hit it, don't hold it. Oh, I am doing that as we speak. Next up, we got Darryl from Fountain Valley, California. Daryl, thanks for being back to the eighties radio. What's your scary story for tonight? Oh? Yeah, thanks for having me on Brother. So. I was living in this apartment with one of my friends a few years back, and I got home from work. I was real tired. I ended up going in bed, maybe around five pm. As I fall I fall asleep. I wake up and I'm just staring at my at my dresser. Right next to the dresser is my door. I see my door started hoping slowly and I'm staring at it. I'm thinking maybe it's the int or something. And then I see this guy walk through, big tall, white guy, white shirts, suspenders, black pants, big boots, and he's creeping in my room and I try to get up and I can't move. I try to scream, I can't scream, and I'm watching him and he's slowly walking towards my bed, and this whole time I'm panicking. The only thing I can move is my eyes. And as he walks around my bed, he starts to crawl on it and I feel the pressure of the bed. I start leaning to one side and he's getting closer. I'm getting more scared, and finally get ends up on top of me with his hands on my chest and I'm feeling that pressure and everything I'm trying to scream my roommates in the other room, nothing's happening. About two minutes later, I finally get to screams. As soon as I scream, he's gone. Wow. I get up. I grab my mattress and I drag it into the living room and I slept there for about two weeks. Paul, I did not want to go back in my room after that. I told my roommate about it. He thought I was crazy, but I pividally remember remember it. I've seen the guy walk in. I know exactly what he looked like. Until this day, I have no idea what it was. And I wasn't sleeping. I was awake. My eyes will wide open. That was the only thing I could move. You had an apparition, and uh, kind of like the movie The Entity Man. That's that's pretty crazy. Yeah, yeah it is. And I'm not I'm not a disbeliever of spirits and goes, so I don't. I don't know. It just freaked me out for a good couple months. Now, Now you see, now you see Daryl there, you went ahead and did it, and now creeped out so much. And now I'm gonna I have to sleep like in the living room with the TV turned on. Gosh, dang it, there you go, there you go, brother, nightlight and a heavy blanket will save you. Hey, we appreciate the story in your time, Darrel, thanks for coming on back to the eighties radio. No words, brother, thank you you're listening to back to the eighties. All right.

Number Now, if you're there and talk to me live, that's Freddie Cruger's waiting just for you dollars for the first minute thirty a traditional minute. Now back to good, wholesome, politically correct entertainment. Oops, wrong station No. Back to the eighties with Tescano and Chang. Welcome back to back to the eighties Radio Toscano and Chang Chang. Here if you want to hit us on our social media pages, tell us a scary story, something eerie or scary that happened to you. Or maybe it's your birthday on Halloween. You know, people take that for granted that somewhere somebody was born on Halloween. So they were a trick and a treat for some parents, it is by far so different today. Even for trick or treaters, it's okay, idea to take your kids to the mall, but because you know, parents feel unsafe for their kids, they take their kids to a local park where there's about twenty thirty cars with their trunks open and they do trick or treating. That. Now, doesn't that take away a little bit of the fund do you think it takes away? I think the element of good old Americana Halloween, neighborhood, door to door. But it does take away that kind of scary, eerie feeling that Halloween gives you. And remember the true meaning of Halloween is, you know, the march and the celebration of the souls that have gone onto the other world. But it does, it does take away because people like to decorate and make your house kind of scary outside. Some people have their make do haunted houses out of their garage or halfway through their house, or their porch, or their front yard or their backyard. So yes, it does take away from that nostalgic feeling and sense of Halloween that you know we all grew up in the eighties and before having and holding his memories, but also at times when you did get into the age where you have a lot of sick epps out there, and yeah, you have to kind of keep somewhat of the regiment of the holiday, and you're going to try to look for some safer environment for your children, but still give them the same essence of Halloween, trick or treat, dressing up, you know, going spot to spot. It's gotten more dangerous for regular Like if I had little kids today, I don't think I'll let them go with their friends. You know, Like before in the eighties, we would get to go trick or treating by ourselves. You can't do that anymore, because hey, we're such a society that's so supposedly updated and technologically advanced and so much better and so evolved that now it's even worse because now we've got a bunch more freaks out there at homes. Now it's everybody's out in the open doing whatever they want and letting people know. You know, again, bro, I was a young dad back in the eighties and I was taking my three girls out trick or treating, and even back then, you know, I was I was not blying to the fact that We have a lot of sick, degenerate sons of bitches out there that want to cause sexual harm or bodily harm to a child. I was well aware of that. There was abductions out there. So even in the eighties, it was not as carefree as it was probably in the seventies when I was a kid, but it was still unsafe. But back in the eighties I did to me and the wife did take our girls out there. You know, one of my friends house. They didn't live in a nice, nice neighborhood. It was decent. They were older homes. But one of their older neighbors, it was a couple and they it was grandparents. And I don't know why they did this, but they used to hand out meals for McDonald's MMMM to every child and they'd give the happy meal to the parent and if they didn't take a parent, they couldn't have a happy meal Wow's. And I used to get my happy meals and it was fantastic, And obviously they were very safe. They didn't do anything, you know, I never heard of anything bad. But that went to show you how safe I mean, would you ever take a happy meal from a stranger? Now? No, hell no, no, no, hell no, I don't know. I have to tell you this. My most favorite Halloween event of all times is the costume party. Oh Youngbody's House. Yes, those were great parties. They used to bob for apples. Uh, they used to have great DJ music and just you know everybody who went there it was campy costs. Oh yeah, yeah, whole parties. Halloween parties were the great kin kind of like when you were when you're younger, Halloween party you can bring out your identity or be somebody else in a costume. You know, that's a very you know, what you just said is so true, brother, because you would wait for that one day of the year to be somebody else, and you would literally act like somebody else if you were like let's say, if you were a quiet person that day and that you got to go to that party and you dressed as somebody else, It's like it was okay to be who you really were inside. I mean, that's the whole point of wearing a costume. You want to pretend to be somebody that you're not. And on that note, you are listening to back to the eighties radio and we've got another double shot and here's something from the eighties by none other than why osp I want to be somebody. We're gonna hit you right back after this, two fir, don't you go nowhere? I've got candy. Welcome back to back to the eighties. On a Halloween ex ravaganza. You were listening to some Judas Priest and Wasp and Tuscano and Chang. Tonight are going to dive into something a little bit scary. Yes, Tuscano and I will be taking selfies in ashless chaps and autographing them, autographing them on the cheeks. At the cheek part being that we during Halloween we talk about costumes and just all the good times and the weird times that we went through back in the eighties. One of the cool things was music, and there were a lot of great scary tunes back then brought to us by certain bands. And these bands many times wore costume themselves. So let's go and talk through some of the bands that wore these costumes from back in the eighties. You know the band that I can think of that look scarier without their makeup from the seventies and in the eighties they decided to take it off I'm talking about kiss oh none other. I mean, to this day, Gene Simmons has hair like Darth Vader. Ye should have kept his makeup on. Now Here's here's a band rather an artist. King Diamond back in the eighties was a scary looking cat Alice Cooper, twisted sister who could forget twisted sister d Snyder. Oh, but a great band looking balls out. We had Queen remember with Radio Gaga. They all had a little bit of a costume, and yeah, you have a Cindy Lauper. Cindy Lauper was dancing around in a fashion that was like whoa, You're like a fairy princess or like a circus wife or an acid roll in the hay. You had missing persons who could forget missing persons. Yeah, you know with Jale Bosio, which I attribute her get up to where Madonna got her get up to do the Hershey's Kids boop thing. Oh that's right, with the couples into yeah, dude, you know, and then you can even say Judas Priest. It's kind of got a Halloween field, you know, with the leather, you know, the studs. Back in the ages, when I was a kid and I used to see some of the shirts for metal bands. They were kind of frightening for somebody who was never into you know, hardcore metal, and yeah, you probably a band like Slayer probably scared. Oh oh yeah, because like they was badass. Yeah, because I would think, oh my gosh, it's uh, you know, it's gonna they're gonna call up Satan or something, and you know, it was freaky. It was freaky. And then the first time I saw Iron Maiden, first time I saw Iron Maiden, and then when they Eddie, everybody brought you know, they were cheering for Eddie and they brought Eddie. I was going, what the heck is this? This is just scary. Eddie was Eddie was the ultimate. But you know, you can also say Blacks Sabbath is a bit on the dark side and scary. You could kind of equate that, you know with Halloween, yes, certain degree, especially Ozzi and his creepy songs as well. You know, Ozzy had some really creepy songs. You know a band, another band that comes from my Devo, that's another band that was quirky. They wore costumes, you know, with the triangles on their head. That was kind of a GetUp men without hats. But I was gonna say, man, they had they had to a certain dress attire, you know, and then when you got a little tiny person that is dressed like that back in those days, that's as scary as the movie lepre Con. That's right. You know. You got artists like David Bowie, you know, who was always reinventing him stuff. You could say a lot of his GetUp was theatrical, which could fall into you know, the apparel of Halloween costume changing. True, very very true, very true. You also have poison. They were putting some makeup on, getting dulled up, you know, and joining the ranks of Motley Crue, who also was wearing makeup, and they had you know, the leather and the spikes, and they had their their get up with the leather pads. Which on another note to any listeners out there, if you were unaware, go ahead and google this. Mick Mars has announced that he's retiring from touring with Motley Crue due to his health. But there's so many other bands and other artists I think that you could say have a little bit of Halloween. I mean, we have a band that was called Jackal that was a metal band. Uh, you know, we have I believe there was a song put out called Halloween. There's so many guns and Roses, I mean Axel Rose. He was constantly changing. Well, you know what the majority of performers, the bands, Yeah, especially Alice Cooper, but I think the majority of performers, whether they be metal or not, they wore some kind of a costume, both on their videos and on stage all the time. Michael Jackson, Michael Jackson, and we'll talk about him a little bit, but I just remembered Robert Smith from The Cure and he continues to do it, continues to do so and kind of gives you the creeps. But let's talk a little bit about Let's talk a little bit about Michael Jackson. Because Michael Jackson December third of nineteen or December in December of nineteen eighty three came out with with what I would call, and I think everybody else who's seen it would agree, the the most the most hardcore video production in the history of music videos. It was a video production that in reality was like a mini movie. And for that time, when the song Thriller came out, Yeah, and the video Thriller came out. We were blown away. We never expected a mini movie from that video, you know, where we're used to three four five minute videos and it's done, and this one starts off as a movie. Yeah, and it was just epic. I remember I was only eleven years old when this came out. Yeah, nineteen eighty three. Wow, and so eleven years old, yeah, eleven years old at eleven? Did you realize the chicken there was pretty cute? And oh yeah, yeah, you know she was he is Sugar Ray Leonard's dog daughter. Yes, yes, And I'll never forget because I was actually watching that video late at night. I won't forget. It was about eleven o'clock at night. And stop and the scene where where Michael Jackson starts turning into a werewolf and he tells her and he turns around with those yellow eyes. Oh my gosh, it was over. I think I saw his face turning into a warwolf for just months. For eleven years old. That's really shocking. It was very creepy. Yeah, you know what, I think. I think I was more creeped out when Michael Jackson started looking like Rose McGowan than he did. But that did not happen during that Yeah, that didn't happen during that video, because you gotta admit Michael Jackson's Thriller was the greatest video music video of all time. Hmm okay, I would say, you know what, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, this is what I mean by the hater I was, and not only hater, but he he dares to disagree with the greatest pop singer of all time. Well, yes, continue, mister, I hate everything that's not metal. Man, you know what, here we go. If Michael Jackson was a lie right now with the amount of brown nosing, because that you're doing, you could probably read his underwear inside out. Lord, have mercy. Now, let get back to mister here. There was no hate. I was going to I was going to add to your comment. I wouldn't say greatest video. I would say greatest musical short because it bypasses and surpasses a video. It becomes its own musical. If I might say, okay, okay, yes, thank you, mister Greek. So please chuck up, chuck your hate from something else. You need to swallow your hate. It becomes something more sublime and more No. No, yes, I know, I know, you don't want to choke on your hat. My gosh, like bombs got choked on his own vomit, which is sad, but please the hate put it in reverse because okay, batting to you. Okay, mister Greek philosopher Plato, thank you? Yea? Would you like a gyro? Wow? Yeah? Okay, our apologies. Here back to the eighties two, everybody from great you want the print freiation of a year on a pepsi? So you were talking, So I'm telling you the greatest music video of all time is Thriller. I'm not asking you, I'm literally telling you. Now. Yes, oh, I see see how this care Yes I it automatically changed to where I am the caretaker of the program, and I proclaim Michael Jackson is the greatest artist a video maker of all time. Man, nothing you you would have been a great wrestler. All about me speaking of the greatest video of all time? Okay, please, why don't we I hope you? Uh oh, I hear the applause. Now settle down. That's snacks and cracker. Here back to the eighties radio. I present to you Michael Jackson's Thriller. That was the one and only Michael Jackson and with thriller. Well, Chang, we've experienced the eighties horror with movies, We've experienced the eighties horror with performers and their costumes. But what about if I dared to ask you, was there anything that ever happened to you during the eighties that was scary? On a serious note, did you ever see here or experienced anything paranormal? A little while ago, when we talked to Darryl from Fountain Valley, he mentioned something extremely frightening. Has something like that ever happened to you that you that you can say, yeah, that was the scariest moment of the eighties. There's been three occasions throughout my changlihood that have freaked me out and freaked my family members out. The first one was the house I grew up with in Southside months of Bebo. We used to hear the hallway floor creek because it was you know, it was it was a wooden floor, So every now and then there's a certain spot that would creek. But it would only do this when someone would walk through it, you know, or the cat, So we would hear this quite a bit. Then we came to find out that there was a man that died in the master bedroom, which was my parents' house, and he died in that hallway right past the heat or the wall heater of this house, and that's where they found him dead. So it's eerie because that's where we always heard the floor creek, and always at a certain time at night. There was also times a one kitchen cabinet would always open. Now my dad figure say hinges and put one of those uh little mechanisms back there, you know, to keep it closed. It would always open, and whatever was on the very top shelf in the cabinet would always fall to the floor no matter what. So we grew up tripping out in that you lived in house, yeah kind of. There was another time when I was working for the city of Montabello as the painter maintenance man. There's a place that's called the Sanchez Adobe Mansion and that's in Montabello. Now, that is one of the first mansions, you know, that was brought up by the Spaniards. History really quick. A lot of Native American ancestor people lived there and were enslave so the property of course had burial grounds to Indians and Spaniards there alike. I was there working one day and it was just me. I opened up the building and I had to go in and I was doing some painting and some repairing, and I left my equipment in one area of this building. When I came back, my equipment was in another room. Now, all the time that I used to work here, I used to light in a sage because the caretaker John used to tell me that it was haunted by spirits good and bad. So whenever I was there to burn sage. This particular day when I went to lunch, I didn't burn sage that day, And like I say, my materials were in another room. And the rest of that day, it kept feeling like somebody was running by me, you know what I mean. I would turn this horrible feeling. I would turn quickly and see a shadow and fill this gasp of cold wind. You know, doors started closing. So, needless to say, I got the hell out of there that one particular day, and I told the John later when I talked to him about what was up. And then after that, anytime I had worked there, he was there and he would burn sage. He would do this Native American prayer with me, and he would put this type of necklace around me and I would work on the building with this and nothing ever happened. Another time we were having weather issues, rain was going to come in and the same building, we had got a phone call around four thirty on a Friday that the shutter to the very top of this building, Sanchez Adobe, was banging back and forth like somebody got up there and try to break in. So me and my partner, Cardon, who was the electrician the other Maiden band, we rolled out, checked it out, went up on an extension ladder, checked it out and we and we saw that the shutter was broken, but it wasn't kicked in from the outside. It was kicked in from the inside. Oh that's this buildings. This building is locked up. Nobody's going to get in the inside and then get to a padlocked door in the attict and kicked the door out. So you know, we went up and we checked it out. The light didn't work, which makes it even more earring. We're checking out the shutter and it looked like literally something with great boors kicked the ship out of this thing because the wood was split. So at the time we were making the repair, we would prop the door open and the door would close to think properly. The door was moved right, you know what I mean, and it became like a very hot wind in there. Again, needless to say, we got the door fixed, we got the hell out of there. So that was something that was always a trip to me. Another case, me and the wife were living in our house in Whittier. At the time we lived in this house, an elderly lady passed away there in the bedroom, the master bedroom. Another individual had passed away in one of the other the middle bedroom of the same house several years prior. So when we took over ownership of the house, we weren't aware of this until somebody, you know, told old us. Our youngest daughter, Jennifer, had the middle bedroom and the other two sisters had the other two bedrooms down the hall to the left, and we would hear Jennifer talking to somebody and we would go in there and ask her when she was talking to you, and she said her invisible friend. It was an older lady, which she's nice, So we would trip out of that, you know what I mean. And then in the master bedroom, me and my wife, our bedroom was kind of a dark, eerie spirit and this spirit used to kick back, and the attached indoor patio that we had and I had, I made it into a bar well. The thing on this thing. At certain times of the day or night, it would shadow and get really dark in one in this whole corner of the bedroom and a portion of this indoor patio, especially at night, and me and my wife would swear that we would hear somebody mentioned something or say something, you know, something abrupt we would hear, and then at night our bedroom would get really dark, to get really cold. So we knew what this was. You know, we had sage burn. My mother in law went down there and had a priest coming there and throwing some holy water, you know, the whole nine yards. Try to get this thing gone. Yeah, and it wouldn't go away. I remember one time my wife and my kids were gone and I was painting the living room as the door slammed, and it was like, I don't have a cat in the house. I don't know why the door slammed, right, So I went and I opened up the master bedroom and it slammed again right when I turned around. So I turned around and yelled at this what I thought was an entity disappeared for a little while. Then one night I was watching the Laker game and we had the fire on in the fireplace and my wife was in the kitchen. I heard my wife call my name in a very forceful voice, so I replied at the same time she replied to me because she thought I yelled at her. Right, we heard a very deep voice, but it was neither one of us. Then the fire went out and we couldn't get it lit really well. Back. Yeah, man, those are some occasions. Oh man, now you did it is There is the the world beyond. This is the Halloween Program. Four Back to the Eighties radio reminders.
