00:00:07,746 --> 00:00:10,053
Everyone knows
that sequels suck.
2
00:00:13,926 --> 00:00:16,059
By definition alone,
they're inferior films.
3
00:00:16,103 --> 00:00:17,756
Or do they?
4
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:19,671
What I love about sequels is
5
00:00:19,715 --> 00:00:21,456
the characters are all
established,
6
00:00:21,499 --> 00:00:22,631
we know who they are.
7
00:00:22,674 --> 00:00:25,460
So let's just get into it.
8
00:00:25,503 --> 00:00:27,723
As great as Anthony Perkins
is in "Psycho,"
9
00:00:27,766 --> 00:00:29,986
I think he's even better
in "Psycho 2."
10
00:00:30,030 --> 00:00:32,989
I'm Norman.
Norman Bates.
11
00:00:33,033 --> 00:00:34,880
"Nightmare on Elm Street 3"
is my favorite one.
12
00:00:34,904 --> 00:00:37,298
- Man, it's so good.
- It wasn't just scary
13
00:00:37,341 --> 00:00:38,908
it was funny.
This is it, Jennifer,
14
00:00:38,951 --> 00:00:41,258
your big break in TV.
15
00:00:41,302 --> 00:00:43,695
I think people know when
they see the Chucky movie,
16
00:00:43,739 --> 00:00:46,220
you know what
you're going to get.
17
00:00:46,263 --> 00:00:49,484
I love "The Purge" franchise.
18
00:00:49,527 --> 00:00:53,270
You want to understand
how this even all started.
19
00:00:53,314 --> 00:00:55,751
"Gremlins 2," I think
20
00:00:55,794 --> 00:00:58,232
might possibly be
the best sequel of all time.
21
00:00:58,275 --> 00:01:00,234
It takes everything
22
00:01:00,277 --> 00:01:02,975
that you love about
the first film,
23
00:01:03,019 --> 00:01:05,891
and it cranks it up
to a whole other level.
24
00:01:05,935 --> 00:01:08,894
Horror movie sequels
do not suck.
25
00:01:08,938 --> 00:01:12,115
Horror movie sequels
are actually fantastic.
26
00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:15,684
And sometimes they're even
better than the originals.
27
00:01:43,190 --> 00:01:46,062
Damien.
28
00:01:46,106 --> 00:01:48,934
Horror sequels.
29
00:01:48,978 --> 00:01:53,374
They can be fun.
30
00:01:53,417 --> 00:01:58,118
But usually, they're a long
way from being great.
31
00:01:58,161 --> 00:02:00,250
It's really hard to pull off
a good horror sequel.
32
00:02:00,294 --> 00:02:02,731
There's so many of them
that suck.
33
00:02:05,603 --> 00:02:08,258
But then there are a few that
actually really don't suck.
34
00:02:08,302 --> 00:02:10,018
And it's all the more
impressive when you can go
35
00:02:10,042 --> 00:02:13,045
from "Alien," which
is one of the most iconic
36
00:02:13,089 --> 00:02:15,178
movies in cinema,
and come out with "Aliens."
37
00:02:15,222 --> 00:02:17,572
Come on, come on!
38
00:02:17,615 --> 00:02:22,011
Sometimes sequels fall far
short of the original.
39
00:02:22,054 --> 00:02:24,361
And sometimes they amp up
the body count
40
00:02:24,405 --> 00:02:26,972
and are even better.
41
00:02:27,016 --> 00:02:28,974
The tradition of
the great horror sequel
42
00:02:29,018 --> 00:02:30,367
goes all the way back
43
00:02:30,411 --> 00:02:33,588
to James Wales'
"Bride of Frankenstein."
44
00:02:33,631 --> 00:02:37,026
I always loved "Bride
of Frankenstein," you know,
45
00:02:37,069 --> 00:02:40,203
just the fact that it picks up
right where the original movie
46
00:02:40,247 --> 00:02:43,424
left off, I think really
has a lot of power.
47
00:02:43,467 --> 00:02:46,383
Like wait a minute, so okay,
so the windmill burns down
48
00:02:46,427 --> 00:02:48,211
and then what happens?
49
00:02:48,255 --> 00:02:51,432
So you feel like you're
getting a continuing saga.
50
00:02:51,475 --> 00:02:53,695
Well, you can use
a sequel to enhance and...
51
00:02:53,738 --> 00:02:54,826
And build on something
52
00:02:54,870 --> 00:02:57,525
that you did in the first one.
53
00:02:57,568 --> 00:02:59,222
- Groovy.
- Or you can take it
54
00:02:59,266 --> 00:03:00,895
in a different direction.
There's a million things you
55
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,834
can do if you got some
good piece of material
56
00:03:02,878 --> 00:03:06,360
that warrants being revisited.
I've got to remain logical.
57
00:03:06,403 --> 00:03:08,405
I like making sequels because
58
00:03:08,449 --> 00:03:09,754
I don't have to
explain anything.
59
00:03:09,798 --> 00:03:11,669
I can just start from the get-go
60
00:03:11,713 --> 00:03:15,064
and do some new adventure.
61
00:03:15,107 --> 00:03:18,067
For a sequel that delivers
on all levels,
62
00:03:18,110 --> 00:03:21,418
there's no better example than
the greatest slasher sequel
63
00:03:21,462 --> 00:03:22,593
of all time.
64
00:03:24,465 --> 00:03:26,728
"Nightmare on Elm Street 3:
The Dream Warriors"
65
00:03:26,771 --> 00:03:28,382
is like the peak
66
00:03:28,425 --> 00:03:29,837
of the "Nightmare on Elm Street"
series.
67
00:03:29,861 --> 00:03:32,560
It's just jam-packed
with cool stuff.
68
00:03:32,603 --> 00:03:35,345
There's certain films
that it's almost like
69
00:03:35,389 --> 00:03:38,435
the second movie wasn't
so great or wasn't as good
70
00:03:38,479 --> 00:03:40,872
as the first one, and then
the third one reinvents
71
00:03:40,916 --> 00:03:42,415
the franchise
and becomes a masterpiece.
72
00:03:42,439 --> 00:03:43,658
Well, you're right.
73
00:03:43,701 --> 00:03:45,181
Now "Dream Warriors"
managed to click
74
00:03:45,225 --> 00:03:46,878
into the mythology
of the first one...
75
00:03:46,922 --> 00:03:50,230
- Freddy's home.
- In a way that was exciting
76
00:03:50,273 --> 00:03:53,058
for audiences, but it also
seemed on a slightly bigger
77
00:03:53,102 --> 00:03:55,365
canvas and you were
surprised by the bigness
78
00:03:55,409 --> 00:03:57,846
and the sense of fun.
79
00:03:57,889 --> 00:04:00,240
For "Dream Warriors,"
80
00:04:00,283 --> 00:04:02,633
series creator
Wes Craven returned
81
00:04:02,677 --> 00:04:05,288
as producer and co-writer.
82
00:04:05,332 --> 00:04:09,597
He brought back his beloved
heroine, Nancy Thompson.
83
00:04:12,904 --> 00:04:15,429
- You.
- Oh, my God.
84
00:04:15,472 --> 00:04:17,605
I think Wes really believed
85
00:04:17,648 --> 00:04:19,650
that Nancy was kind of
the best aspect
86
00:04:19,694 --> 00:04:21,696
that we all have inside of us.
87
00:04:21,739 --> 00:04:27,528
That she is the kind of person
who faces fear head on
88
00:04:27,571 --> 00:04:31,923
and doesn't avoid the thing
that's endangering their lives.
89
00:04:31,967 --> 00:04:34,491
But just goes straight at it.
Krueger's back.
90
00:04:34,535 --> 00:04:37,146
Fred Krueger is dead.
91
00:04:37,189 --> 00:04:38,974
I loved that they brought
her back.
92
00:04:39,017 --> 00:04:41,237
I loved how they brought her
back and that she was there
93
00:04:41,281 --> 00:04:42,934
to sort of help the children.
94
00:04:42,978 --> 00:04:46,373
And in a sense,
she's there to save them.
95
00:04:46,416 --> 00:04:49,506
Now a grad student studying
dream psychology...
96
00:04:49,550 --> 00:04:52,553
I have had some experience
with pattern nightmares.
97
00:04:52,596 --> 00:04:55,469
Nancy comes home to help
a new generation of teens
98
00:04:55,512 --> 00:04:58,689
targeted by the dream killer,
Freddy Krueger.

But they have a secret weapon,

newcomer Kristen,
played by Patricia Arquette,

00:05:13,530 --> 00:05:16,925

Led by Nancy, they form a gang
of freedom fighters.

They're able to take on these,
like, superhero personas

in their dreams

So like one of the them becomes
this super cool punk chick.

able to walk.
117
00:05:41,819 --> 00:05:45,170
It's about wish fulfillment

being murdered.
119
00:05:48,609 --> 00:05:51,176

Freddy is in the imagination
of the person he's haunting.
123

And the imagination is larger
than life, it's kicked up,
124
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,408
it's surreal.
125
00:06:05,452 --> 00:06:09,978
There's a massive worm-like
creature that is gruesome
126

but also perverted.
127
00:06:11,849 --> 00:06:14,635
And I think that's just
what makes it all the better.
128
00:06:14,678 --> 00:06:16,637
It's horror, like, be weird.
129

The scene where the guy's
veins are being ripped out
132
00:06:23,905 --> 00:06:26,734
with Freddy playing him
like a little puppet
133
00:06:26,777 --> 00:06:28,823
and then slicing those veins,
134
00:06:28,866 --> 00:06:30,999
and he falls to his death;
135
00:06:31,042 --> 00:06:33,567
that's an amazing kill.
136
00:06:35,786 --> 00:06:38,485
The thing that made "Nightmare
on Elm Street 3" stick out
137
00:06:38,528 --> 00:06:42,750
so much is that it was
the first entry into fun Freddy
138
00:06:42,793 --> 00:06:44,969
before he became silly Freddy.
139
00:06:45,013 --> 00:06:47,058
So he was still scary in this,
140
00:06:47,102 --> 00:06:49,626
but having a bit more time
to quip.
141
00:06:49,670 --> 00:06:51,759
What a rush.
142
00:06:51,802 --> 00:06:55,719
There were scenes in 3
where I would be really bad,
143
00:06:55,763 --> 00:06:57,068
really evil.
144
00:06:57,112 --> 00:06:59,462
And then
they would add a one-liner.
145
00:06:59,506 --> 00:07:03,161
Sorry, kid,
I don't believe in fairy tales.
146
00:07:04,815 --> 00:07:06,600
That, all of a sudden,
becomes scarier,
147
00:07:06,643 --> 00:07:08,665
of this guy just like,
not only is he gonna kill you,
148
00:07:08,689 --> 00:07:10,952
but he's gonna have
a little too much fun doing it.
149
00:07:14,695 --> 00:07:18,438
I altered one line to
play a little better as Freddy.
150
00:07:18,481 --> 00:07:21,092

Welcome to prime time, bitch.

of Freddy's personality.
155
00:07:34,541 --> 00:07:36,804
And I back him on that.
156
00:07:36,847 --> 00:07:38,675
But Wes is responsible for that.
157
00:07:38,719 --> 00:07:43,288
Wes created a character
that cracked wise.

I'm your boyfriend now, Nancy.
159
00:07:46,553 --> 00:07:49,947
But the fans loved that, and
that's one reason we exploited
160
00:07:49,991 --> 00:07:52,297
the humor so much
is because the fans,
161
00:07:52,341 --> 00:07:55,257
you know were just crazy
for Freddy's personality.

177
00:08:35,863 --> 00:08:37,952
I mean she was the O.G.
178
00:08:37,995 --> 00:08:40,563
So you never want
the O.G. to be killed off.
179
00:08:40,607 --> 00:08:43,305
But I didn't see it coming.
I didn't think... I thought
180
00:08:43,348 --> 00:08:44,959
for sure Nancy would never die.
181
00:08:45,002 --> 00:08:46,589
And I think that's something
that the fans needed
182
00:08:46,613 --> 00:08:49,180
and the story needed, and
I think that bringing her back
183
00:08:49,224 --> 00:08:51,182
and bringing
that story full circle,
184
00:08:51,226 --> 00:08:54,534
helped make Freddy Krueger
who he is today.
185
00:08:54,577 --> 00:08:57,319
Some sequels reinvent
the franchise.
186
00:08:57,362 --> 00:08:58,363
And some...
187
00:09:00,844 --> 00:09:03,978
Dig even deeper
into the formula.
188
00:09:04,021 --> 00:09:05,129
It's happening again, isn't it?
189
00:09:05,153 --> 00:09:07,329
Hello?
190
00:09:15,816 --> 00:09:17,663
For a sequel to be great,
you have to give the audience
191
00:09:17,687 --> 00:09:19,404
what they're expecting,
just not in the way they think
192
00:09:19,428 --> 00:09:21,362
they're gonna get it.
You gotta be like a magician.
193
00:09:21,386 --> 00:09:22,799
You know the trick's coming,
I'm telling you the trick's
194

coming, I'm telling you
the trick's coming,
195
00:09:24,259 --> 00:09:25,453
and then you still do it,
and they go "Wow.
196
00:09:25,477 --> 00:09:27,610
I didn't see that coming."
197
00:09:27,654 --> 00:09:30,221
♪
198
00:09:30,265 --> 00:09:33,050
After the massive success
of "Scream,"
199
00:09:33,094 --> 00:09:36,140
the pressure was on director
Wes Craven, and writer
200
00:09:36,184 --> 00:09:39,579
Kevin Williamson to come up
with another magic trick.
201
00:09:39,622 --> 00:09:41,078
How do you make a sequel
to a horror movie
202
00:09:41,102 --> 00:09:42,407
that's about horror movies?
203
00:09:42,451 --> 00:09:43,863
It's a film commenting
on itself essentially
204
00:09:43,887 --> 00:09:45,628
all the way through.
And the answer is,
205
00:09:45,672 --> 00:09:46,823
of course, you make
a sequel that's about sequels
206
00:09:46,847 --> 00:09:49,153
to horror movies.
Sequels suck.
207
00:09:49,197 --> 00:09:50,502
No.
208
00:09:50,546 --> 00:09:52,548
By definition alone,
they're inferior films.
209
00:09:52,592 --> 00:09:55,029
So it does a good job of
honoring the first movie,
210
00:09:55,072 --> 00:09:59,511
but also having its own
identity making fun of sequels.
211

Neve Campbell returns as

- Hello?
- Hello, Sidney.
215
00:10:09,304 --> 00:10:11,219
Sidney really starts the movie
216
00:10:11,262 --> 00:10:12,699
with some post-traumatic stress.
217
00:10:12,742 --> 00:10:14,439
Who is this?

00:10:14,483 --> 00:10:16,267

Cory Gillis.
221
00:10:21,795 --> 00:10:23,405
Sidney seems to be coping
222
00:10:23,448 --> 00:10:25,494
until a sneak preview of "Stab,"
223
00:10:25,537 --> 00:10:28,279
a movie based on the events
of the first "Scream,"
224

ends when someone
dressed as Ghostface
225
00:10:30,717 --> 00:10:33,023
goes on a killing spree.
226
00:10:33,067 --> 00:10:35,112
One of the things I think
horror does really well
227
00:10:35,156 --> 00:10:38,072
is when an old nightmare
comes back.
228
00:10:38,115 --> 00:10:39,682
And it comes back
in a worse way.

And that's what happens
to Sidney.
230
00:10:41,858 --> 00:10:43,619
The two Windsor College
students were murdered
231
00:10:43,643 --> 00:10:45,688
last night
during a sneak preview
232
00:10:45,732 --> 00:10:47,690
of the new movie "Stab."
233
00:10:47,734 --> 00:10:51,346
To survive, Sidney
and her friends have to ask,

"What would
the killer in a sequel do?"
235
00:10:54,566 --> 00:10:56,022
In "Scream,"
they've set out the rules.
236
00:10:56,046 --> 00:10:58,266
How to survive a horror movie.
Well, by "Scream 2,"
237
00:10:58,309 --> 00:10:59,702
there are rules for sequels.
238
00:11:01,269 --> 00:11:03,924
The kills are more elaborate,
239
00:11:03,967 --> 00:11:06,274
the body count is always bigger.
240
00:11:06,317 --> 00:11:07,710
Never assume the killer is dead.
241
00:11:07,754 --> 00:11:09,930
- Remember me?
- Why don't you show your face
242
00:11:09,973 --> 00:11:11,845
you coward.
243
00:11:11,888 --> 00:11:13,934
My pleasure.
244
00:11:13,977 --> 00:11:15,457
The return of Ghostface
245
00:11:15,500 --> 00:11:17,720
throws the audience off balance.
246
00:11:17,764 --> 00:11:20,331
The film disorients
its audience even more
247
00:11:20,375 --> 00:11:23,117
by intercutting pieces
of "Stab."
248
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:27,164
Perhaps the first-ever
remake inside of a sequel.
249
00:11:27,208 --> 00:11:29,360
The "Stab" franchise comes
into its own in this film.
250
00:11:29,384 --> 00:11:32,735
So "Scream 2" gets to comment
on, you know, the history
251
00:11:32,779 --> 00:11:35,956
not only of slasher films
and that, but its own legacy.
252
00:11:35,999 --> 00:11:38,393
Because you get a recreation of
the original Scream in there
253
00:11:38,436 --> 00:11:41,352
that's hysterically funny.
Really?
254
00:11:41,396 --> 00:11:43,354
- You still think it's me?
- No.
255
00:11:43,398 --> 00:11:45,443
Said I didn't do it.
I'm innocent.
256
00:11:45,487 --> 00:11:48,142
- I know.
- So it becomes this strange
257
00:11:48,185 --> 00:11:49,728
sort of hall of mirrors thing.
I've been going through
258
00:11:49,752 --> 00:11:51,754
a lot lately, Billy.
Someone tried to kill me.
259
00:11:51,798 --> 00:11:53,538
- I know, I know.
- Sid, I think you need
260
00:11:53,582 --> 00:11:54,975
to just move on.
I mean...
261
00:11:55,018 --> 00:11:57,368
both: When my mom left my dad,
I accepted it.
262
00:11:57,412 --> 00:11:58,563
- Yeah.
Both: Your mom left town.
263
00:11:58,587 --> 00:12:00,502
She's not lying
in a coffin somewhere.
264
00:12:00,545 --> 00:12:02,939
My mom's dead and
she's never coming back, ever.
265
00:12:02,983 --> 00:12:04,767
Stupid.
266
00:12:04,811 --> 00:12:06,203
Stupid.
267
00:12:06,247 --> 00:12:07,770
So tell us about this part
268
00:12:07,814 --> 00:12:09,293
you're getting rave reviews for.
269
00:12:09,337 --> 00:12:12,383
Well, I play this young girl,
Sidney Prescott.
270
00:12:12,427 --> 00:12:15,212
"Scream 1,"
my agent sent me the script
271
00:12:15,256 --> 00:12:18,085
and I got to the part where
they were like, "You know,
272
00:12:18,128 --> 00:12:19,149
they might make a movie
of your life."
273
00:12:19,173 --> 00:12:20,565
And she's like, "Yeah."
274
00:12:20,609 --> 00:12:22,567
With my luck,
they'd cast Tori Spelling.
275
00:12:22,611 --> 00:12:26,397
And I was like...
But because, um,
276
00:12:26,441 --> 00:12:29,749
she says that, when they make
"Scream 2" they were like,
277
00:12:29,792 --> 00:12:31,727
"Oh, we'll cast Tori Spelling,"
which was kind of brilliant.
278
00:12:31,751 --> 00:12:34,405
I was like, "I'm in. Perfect."
279
00:12:34,449 --> 00:12:36,190
But beneath
the self-aware jokes...
280
00:12:36,233 --> 00:12:37,582
When'd she start smoking?
281
00:12:37,626 --> 00:12:39,628
Ever since those nude pictures
on the internet.
282
00:12:39,671 --> 00:12:40,803
It was just my head.
283
00:12:40,847 --> 00:12:42,196
It was Jennifer Anniston's body.
284
00:12:42,239 --> 00:12:44,415
"Scream 2" asks
285
00:12:44,459 --> 00:12:46,374
"What is the real
emotional impact
286
00:12:46,417 --> 00:12:50,117
on slasher film characters
who make it to the sequel?"
287
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,815
Look, Sid, if there is some
freaked out psycho
288
00:12:52,859 --> 00:12:54,904
trying follow in Billy Loomis's
footsteps,
289
00:12:54,948 --> 00:12:58,212
they're probably already
in your life.
290
00:12:58,255 --> 00:13:00,736
As Neve Campbell's character
learns about life,
291
00:13:00,780 --> 00:13:02,433
we're learning with her.
292
00:13:02,477 --> 00:13:03,671
And part two is,
"Guess what. It's not over.
293
00:13:03,695 --> 00:13:05,567
"You thought it was over?
294
00:13:05,610 --> 00:13:07,371
"You thought only one bad
thing would happen to you?
295
00:13:07,395 --> 00:13:09,136
"No, things can get much worse.
296
00:13:09,179 --> 00:13:10,790
"This horrible thing happened
297
00:13:10,833 --> 00:13:14,054
and you have to deal
with that trauma forever."
298
00:13:14,097 --> 00:13:16,578
I don't want
to see you get hurt.
299
00:13:16,621 --> 00:13:19,450
She can't trust anyone
around her.
300
00:13:19,494 --> 00:13:21,017
That's a big theme
in these movies.
301
00:13:21,061 --> 00:13:22,410
Who can you trust?
302
00:13:22,453 --> 00:13:23,604
Because you got to know
the killer.
303
00:13:23,628 --> 00:13:26,153
I need to be alone right now,
okay?
304
00:13:26,196 --> 00:13:28,982
Sidney goes up against
Ghostface again,
305
00:13:29,025 --> 00:13:32,550
but as we know, the original
killers are no more.
306
00:13:33,900 --> 00:13:36,685
So we have no idea
who it could possibly be.
307
00:13:36,728 --> 00:13:38,165
Could it be Gale Weathers
308
00:13:38,208 --> 00:13:39,862
trying to get another book deal?
309
00:13:39,906 --> 00:13:42,473
Could it be Dewey?
Does he really have that limp?
310
00:13:42,517 --> 00:13:44,388
Is he faking it?
You have a point.
311
00:13:44,432 --> 00:13:48,523
And I think that was
the main point of part two.
312
00:13:48,566 --> 00:13:52,440
It was removing all trust
so that the audience
313
00:13:52,483 --> 00:13:54,094
is just completely nervous
and on edge,
314
00:13:54,137 --> 00:13:55,965
trying to figure out
what's going on.
315
00:13:58,533 --> 00:14:01,231
The twist-filled climax
reveals the Ghostfaces
316
00:14:01,275 --> 00:14:03,799
are two new characters;
317
00:14:03,843 --> 00:14:06,584
psychopathic film student...
318
00:14:06,628 --> 00:14:09,326
- Mickey?
- I'm gonna blame the movies.
319
00:14:09,370 --> 00:14:12,329
And the mother of the
murderer Sidney defeated
320
00:14:12,373 --> 00:14:14,723
in the original film.
Mrs. Loomis?
321
00:14:14,766 --> 00:14:18,509
You killed my son.
322
00:14:18,553 --> 00:14:20,685
The killers' identity
has a purpose,
323
00:14:20,729 --> 00:14:23,253
to deepen
the series' exploration
324
00:14:23,297 --> 00:14:25,690
of the nature of violence.
325
00:14:25,734 --> 00:14:27,518
"Scream 1" basically asked
the question,
326
00:14:27,562 --> 00:14:30,434
"If you can't blame the movies,
who can you blame?"
327
00:14:30,478 --> 00:14:32,349
Movies don't create psychos!
328
00:14:32,393 --> 00:14:33,960
Movies make psychos
more creative!
329
00:14:35,570 --> 00:14:38,312
"Scream 2" suggested
who you can blame.
330
00:14:38,355 --> 00:14:40,096
And look who the killer was.
331
00:14:40,140 --> 00:14:41,663
It was the mother.
332
00:14:41,706 --> 00:14:43,491
So "Scream 2," in a weird way,
is saying
333
00:14:43,534 --> 00:14:45,362
we can blame the parents.
334
00:14:45,406 --> 00:14:47,147
Bad parenting creates psychos.
335
00:14:47,190 --> 00:14:49,671
And it sets up for
the other sequels.
336
00:14:49,714 --> 00:14:53,544
Now you know it can be anybody.
337
00:14:53,588 --> 00:14:55,938
Another way to make
an old franchise new again,
338
00:14:55,982 --> 00:14:59,159
is to turn the clock back
to the very beginning.
339
00:14:59,202 --> 00:15:00,508
Let's purge, y'all!
340
00:15:07,471 --> 00:15:09,734
This is not a test.
341
00:15:09,778 --> 00:15:11,736
This is your
Emergency Broadcast System
342
00:15:11,780 --> 00:15:14,522
announcing the commencement
of The Annual Purge.
343
00:15:16,524 --> 00:15:21,529
2013 saw the release
of "The Purge."
344
00:15:21,572 --> 00:15:23,357
A film about
a near-future America
345
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,490
in which all violent crime
is legal for 12 hours.
346
00:15:30,233 --> 00:15:32,409
The violence and brutality
of "The Purge"
347
00:15:32,453 --> 00:15:35,151
was intended to reflect
the rising tensions
348
00:15:35,195 --> 00:15:37,327
writer/director, James DeMonaco,

♪
351
00:15:42,202 --> 00:15:44,378
Working in the horror genre
allows you
352
00:15:44,421 --> 00:15:46,902
to not necessarily explore
themes that are different
353
00:15:46,946 --> 00:15:50,210
than would be in a drama,
but it allows those themes
354
00:15:50,253 --> 00:15:53,735
to reach
a much broader audience.
355
00:15:53,778 --> 00:15:55,191
"The Purge" is a great example
of that.

Didn't you hear what I said?
No more killing tonight.
357
00:15:59,262 --> 00:16:02,918
I think this country has
gone off the rails
358
00:16:02,962 --> 00:16:04,180
with its relationship to guns,
359
00:16:04,224 --> 00:16:05,877
and "The Purge" is about
360
00:16:05,921 --> 00:16:08,184
if that keeps going
where we might wind up.
361
00:16:08,228 --> 00:16:09,620
Kind of a cautionary tale.
362
00:16:09,664 --> 00:16:12,710
Is it that hard to understand?
363
00:16:12,754 --> 00:16:15,017
"The Purge"
was an enormous success,

For the fourth film
in the franchise
366
00:16:22,677 --> 00:16:26,986

You can't purge me, man.
I purge you.

It was centered around
these inner-city communities
371
00:16:39,694 --> 00:16:42,175
which was very heavily
within our Black communities.
372
00:16:42,218 --> 00:16:45,656
You needed a Black filmmaker
and Gerard was able to really
373
00:16:45,700 --> 00:16:47,441
bring home the honesty
and the truth.

The FFA offers money

of consequence,
that's a freeing violence.
392
00:17:42,235 --> 00:17:46,108
They have their reasoning
for it, which is, you know,
393
00:17:46,152 --> 00:17:50,330
if we give one night of access
and freedom to commit
394
00:17:50,373 --> 00:17:53,811
any crime you want to do, then
that would lower the crime rate

I think Isaiah's anger

to feed,
look after their family,
404
00:18:19,794 --> 00:18:21,665

411
00:18:36,724 --> 00:18:40,336
This is rooted

The FFA saw that...
430
00:19:13,413 --> 00:19:16,633
They were confused.
Parties?
431
00:19:16,677 --> 00:19:18,983
They're watching, like
why are they just having fun?
432
00:19:19,027 --> 00:19:20,159
We mean business.
433
00:19:22,857 --> 00:19:25,294
But, of course, in the film,
and also maybe this would also
434
00:19:25,338 --> 00:19:28,863
really happen, people came
from outside of this community
435
00:19:28,906 --> 00:19:30,386

clan outfits.

movie would be a villain,
439
00:19:40,527 --> 00:19:42,181
almost singlehandedly
440
00:19:42,224 --> 00:19:46,837
fights off
the government assassins.
441
00:19:46,881 --> 00:19:49,579
You know, he's the
community "thug" so to speak,
442
00:19:49,623 --> 00:19:51,625

00:19:51,668 --> 00:19:55,237
and fight off these outsiders...
444
00:19:57,935 --> 00:20:00,764
Who have literally flooded
this poor community
445
00:20:00,808 --> 00:20:03,202
to try to just kill
as many Black and brown people
446
00:20:03,245 --> 00:20:04,942
as they can.
447
00:20:04,986 --> 00:20:06,386
And it's tough.
It's tough to watch.
448
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,305
That's the truth.
449
00:20:19,348 --> 00:20:21,872
What do we do and how are we
supposed to remain optimistic?
450
00:20:21,916 --> 00:20:24,397
Which they do,
which is a beautiful ending.
451
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:25,659
It's very optimistic.
452
00:20:25,702 --> 00:20:27,704
And "We're gonna fight
this thing."
453
00:20:27,748 --> 00:20:31,665
But honestly, where do you go
after that moment?
454
00:20:31,708 --> 00:20:33,406
So what to do we do now?
455
00:20:33,449 --> 00:20:37,236
Now... we fight.
456
00:20:37,279 --> 00:20:39,281
When I spoke to a lot
of my friends about it,
457
00:20:39,325 --> 00:20:42,284
"The First Purge" felt
the most truest to real life
458
00:20:42,328 --> 00:20:45,505
and people felt like
"Yo, wow. This... this feels
459
00:20:45,548 --> 00:20:47,202
like it could actually happen.
460
00:20:49,944 --> 00:20:52,642
And if we don't actually
come together as a people,
461
00:20:52,686 --> 00:20:55,428
then nothing's going to change.
462
00:20:55,471 --> 00:20:58,082
It's over?
463
00:20:58,126 --> 00:20:59,301
For now.
464
00:21:02,086 --> 00:21:03,610
There is another way
to breathe life
465
00:21:03,653 --> 00:21:05,612
into a horror sequel.
466
00:21:05,655 --> 00:21:06,917
Awake! Awake! Awake!
467
00:21:06,961 --> 00:21:08,049
Go for the laughs.
468
00:21:12,662 --> 00:21:15,535
Hi, I'm Chucky. Wanna play?
469
00:21:15,578 --> 00:21:17,014
Hey, wanna play?
470
00:21:17,058 --> 00:21:19,321
Hi, I'm your friend to the end.
471
00:21:21,105 --> 00:21:24,152
What do you do when your
iconic horror franchise...
472
00:21:24,195 --> 00:21:26,502
I'm your friend to the end.
473
00:21:26,546 --> 00:21:29,940
Feels tapped out?
474
00:21:29,984 --> 00:21:32,552
There had been
three Chucky movies,
475
00:21:32,595 --> 00:21:35,119
"Child's Play" 1, 2, and 3.
476
00:21:35,163 --> 00:21:38,340
"But Child's Play 3"
was not very successful.
477
00:21:38,384 --> 00:21:39,907
You got me.
478
00:21:39,950 --> 00:21:41,517
I'm bad.
479
00:21:41,561 --> 00:21:44,346
And I felt that we had fallen
into a rut of kind of
480
00:21:44,390 --> 00:21:45,956
remaking the same movie.
481
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:50,091
All: Ade due Damballa.
482
00:21:50,134 --> 00:21:52,876
And that was something
I didn't want to do again.
483
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,705
So Chucky creator
Don Mancini threw away
484
00:21:55,749 --> 00:22:00,144
the slasher formula and went
in a very different direction.
485
00:22:01,972 --> 00:22:04,758
Horror comedy.
486
00:22:04,801 --> 00:22:08,936
The result
was "Bride of Chucky."
487
00:22:08,979 --> 00:22:11,634
I felt that if
we embraced the absurdity
488
00:22:11,678 --> 00:22:13,332
inherent in the premise
489
00:22:13,375 --> 00:22:15,377
of a two-foot killer doll
who swears
490
00:22:15,421 --> 00:22:18,075
and wields a knife and
chases you down and kills you,
491
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,035
we could revive the franchise.
492
00:22:21,078 --> 00:22:23,820
"Bride of Chucky"
introduces Tiffany,
493
00:22:23,864 --> 00:22:25,605
girlfriend of the serial killer
494
00:22:25,648 --> 00:22:26,867
trapped in Chucky's body.
495
00:22:26,910 --> 00:22:29,260
Well, hello, dolly.
496
00:22:29,304 --> 00:22:32,394
She's determined to bring
her lover back to life
497
00:22:32,438 --> 00:22:35,354
and she will stop at nothing
to get her way.
498
00:22:35,397 --> 00:22:38,400
Awake!
499
00:22:38,444 --> 00:22:41,925
In a stroke of genius,
Jennifer Tilly was cast
500
00:22:41,969 --> 00:22:45,799
opposite Brad Dourif,
the voice of Chucky.
501
00:22:45,842 --> 00:22:49,280
She's the perfect person
for this in so many ways.
502
00:22:49,324 --> 00:22:52,109
She's an Oscar nominee,
just as Brad Dourif is,
503
00:22:52,153 --> 00:22:56,375
she has incredible
comedic charisma,
504
00:22:56,418 --> 00:23:00,727
physical beauty, sexiness,
and a wonderful voice.
505
00:23:00,770 --> 00:23:03,512
Thanks, sweet face,
I owe ya one.
506
00:23:03,556 --> 00:23:05,732
Tiffany has
a certain insouciance
507
00:23:05,775 --> 00:23:07,603
that people are attracted to.
508
00:23:07,647 --> 00:23:09,605
I mean she's just like
the super cool girl.
509
00:23:09,649 --> 00:23:12,173
You know, she just doesn't
give a.
510
00:23:12,216 --> 00:23:13,846
Let me in, huh?
I'll catch my death out here.
511
00:23:13,870 --> 00:23:15,872
Promises, promises.
512
00:23:15,916 --> 00:23:17,439
But she's also a dichotomy
513
00:23:17,483 --> 00:23:19,223
because she loves
Martha Stewart,
514
00:23:19,267 --> 00:23:20,834
she likes to make
Swedish meatballs
515
00:23:20,877 --> 00:23:22,618
and chocolate chip cookies.
516
00:23:22,662 --> 00:23:24,577
Who the is Martha Stewart?
517
00:23:24,620 --> 00:23:26,274
My idol.
518
00:23:26,317 --> 00:23:28,450
Whoa!
519
00:23:28,494 --> 00:23:31,627
To be Chucky's soulmate,
of course, she had to be
520
00:23:31,671 --> 00:23:34,064
a remorseless killer,
521
00:23:34,108 --> 00:23:37,067
but on the other hand,
she's also very sentimental
522
00:23:37,111 --> 00:23:40,244
and romantic and kind of sweet.
523
00:23:40,288 --> 00:23:43,247
We belong dead.
524
00:23:43,291 --> 00:23:45,249
That's not Chucky at all.
525
00:23:45,293 --> 00:23:50,907
So it created
a combustible relationship.
526
00:23:50,951 --> 00:23:52,605
Tiffany resurrects Chucky
527
00:23:52,648 --> 00:23:54,824
but their reunion
quickly turns sour.
528
00:24:02,136 --> 00:24:04,486
After a fatal lover's quarrel,
529
00:24:04,530 --> 00:24:08,316
Tiffany's spirit is also
trapped in plastic.
530
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:13,147
You son of bitch!
What have you done to me?
531
00:24:13,190 --> 00:24:15,845
When she suddenly finds herself
in a doll's body,
532
00:24:15,889 --> 00:24:17,717
she's kind... she's mad.
533
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,675
I mean, but she doesn't
fall into depression.
534
00:24:19,719 --> 00:24:21,372
She gets out the hair dye
535
00:24:21,416 --> 00:24:24,245
and the black nail polish
and tries to approximate a look
536
00:24:24,288 --> 00:24:26,726
that she is comfortable with.
537
00:24:26,769 --> 00:24:30,077
To regain human form,
the couple needs to get across
538
00:24:30,120 --> 00:24:33,907
the country
to steal a magical amulet.
539
00:24:33,950 --> 00:24:37,301
They hitch a ride with two
unsuspecting teenage runaways.
540
00:24:37,345 --> 00:24:39,521
Oh, my God.
541
00:24:39,565 --> 00:24:42,568
A road trip that quickly
turns into a bloodbath.
542
00:24:44,744 --> 00:24:47,137
There is so much more gore
543
00:24:47,181 --> 00:24:48,704
in this movie
than the other films.
544
00:24:48,748 --> 00:24:51,751
It's a measure of how much
respect Don has for you
545
00:24:51,794 --> 00:24:53,709
if he kills you
in a really horrible way.
546
00:24:53,753 --> 00:24:55,668
Now!
547
00:24:55,711 --> 00:24:58,932
Ah!
548
00:24:58,975 --> 00:25:01,151
Killing together helps
Chucky and Tiffany
549
00:25:01,195 --> 00:25:04,546
revive their love and lust.
550
00:25:04,590 --> 00:25:07,244
All couples have something
that brings them together
551
00:25:07,288 --> 00:25:08,855
in the first place.
552
00:25:08,898 --> 00:25:10,683
In Chucky and Tiffany's case,
of course,
553
00:25:10,726 --> 00:25:12,859
it's murder and sex.
554
00:25:12,902 --> 00:25:14,556
Well, at least
you haven't forgotten
555
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,211
how to show a girl a good time.
556
00:25:17,254 --> 00:25:19,169
So they have their
honeymoon period
557
00:25:19,213 --> 00:25:23,913
which climaxes in their
big night in Niagara Falls.
558
00:25:23,957 --> 00:25:26,786
One of the bloodiest scenes
in the movie
559
00:25:26,829 --> 00:25:30,920
leads into one of the most
strange and ridiculous scenes
560
00:25:30,964 --> 00:25:32,574
in the whole film.
561
00:25:32,618 --> 00:25:34,968
Which is when
they're in the love motel.
562
00:25:35,011 --> 00:25:36,752
And that couple's in the bed.
563
00:25:36,796 --> 00:25:38,319
Tiffany has the champagne bottle
564
00:25:38,362 --> 00:25:40,016
and throws it up
into the mirror.
565
00:25:40,060 --> 00:25:43,498
And it just shatters into
hundreds of pieces
566
00:25:43,542 --> 00:25:45,282
and impales them
on the waterbed.
567
00:25:45,326 --> 00:25:48,895
And blood and water
explodes everywhere,
568
00:25:48,938 --> 00:25:50,679
which then leads into...
569
00:25:50,723 --> 00:25:54,378
a very bizarre sex scene.
570
00:25:54,422 --> 00:25:57,033
Oh.
571
00:25:57,077 --> 00:26:00,733
Which is so weird,
but so fantastic.
572
00:26:00,776 --> 00:26:02,735
But again, really weird.
573
00:26:05,085 --> 00:26:07,000
We were the first people
to do doll sex.
574
00:26:07,043 --> 00:26:10,046
After that, "South Park" did a
movie where they had doll sex.
575
00:26:10,090 --> 00:26:14,529
Our doll sex I thought
was a little bit more charming.
576
00:26:14,573 --> 00:26:16,313
But like many love stories,
577
00:26:16,357 --> 00:26:19,403
this one takes a tragic turn.
578
00:26:19,447 --> 00:26:23,233
She so wants to be loved
by Chucky,
579
00:26:23,277 --> 00:26:25,148
and does so much stuff
for Chucky,
580
00:26:25,192 --> 00:26:27,586
like cooking
and making his favorite dish
581
00:26:27,629 --> 00:26:29,588
and trying to make him happy.
582
00:26:29,631 --> 00:26:32,808
And he does a thing where
he's critical or puts her down.
583
00:26:32,852 --> 00:26:35,289
And then every once in a while,
she snaps.
584
00:26:35,332 --> 00:26:38,509
Those dishes aren't gonna
wash themselves, you know.
585
00:26:38,553 --> 00:26:41,251
The Tiffany character
is an abused woman.
586
00:26:41,295 --> 00:26:43,253
You know,
she's an abused spouse.
587
00:26:43,297 --> 00:26:46,605
The movie's throwing in
its sympathies
588
00:26:46,648 --> 00:26:49,042
with the woman victim.
589
00:26:53,829 --> 00:26:56,440
I feel like the "Bride of
Chucky" is a romantic tragedy
590
00:26:56,484 --> 00:26:59,269
because it's almost
Romeo and Juliet.
591
00:26:59,313 --> 00:27:02,229
It's almost like a love
that was never meant to be.
592
00:27:02,272 --> 00:27:04,274
I love you, Chucky.
593
00:27:04,318 --> 00:27:08,148
We belong together, forever.
594
00:27:08,191 --> 00:27:09,671
And at the end,
595
00:27:09,715 --> 00:27:14,067
she turns the tables
on her abuser.
596
00:27:17,853 --> 00:27:20,247
We belong dead.
597
00:27:20,290 --> 00:27:22,989
Goodbye, darling.
598
00:27:23,032 --> 00:27:24,947
I'll see you in hell.
599
00:27:28,472 --> 00:27:30,039
Following up a hit is difficult.
600
00:27:34,217 --> 00:27:36,524
Now imagine making a sequel
601
00:27:36,567 --> 00:27:39,222
to an all-time horror classic.
602
00:27:44,663 --> 00:27:47,230
In 1960
Alfred Hitchcock directed
603
00:27:47,274 --> 00:27:50,843
one of the most famous and
influential films of all time,
604
00:27:50,886 --> 00:27:52,279
"Psycho."
605
00:27:52,322 --> 00:27:53,976
We all go a little mad
sometimes.
606
00:27:54,020 --> 00:27:56,718
Haven't you?
607
00:27:56,762 --> 00:28:00,809
23 years later came
the sequel no one asked for.
608
00:28:02,245 --> 00:28:04,334
"Psycho II."
609
00:28:04,378 --> 00:28:07,294
By the '80s, Hitchcock
was treated like some sort of
610
00:28:07,337 --> 00:28:09,688
cinematic saint.
Mmhmm.
611
00:28:09,731 --> 00:28:14,867
So the idea of remaking
a Hitchcock film...
612
00:28:14,910 --> 00:28:18,348
The idea of sequelizing a
Hitchcock icon was unthinkable.
613
00:28:18,392 --> 00:28:21,003
People talked about it
like sacrilege.
614
00:28:21,047 --> 00:28:22,309
I'm sorry.
615
00:28:22,352 --> 00:28:25,355
I didn't mean it
to sound uncaring.
616
00:28:25,399 --> 00:28:28,315
What do you know about caring?
617
00:28:28,358 --> 00:28:31,057
But "Psycho 2"
proved everyone wrong.
618
00:28:31,100 --> 00:28:34,625
Richard Franklin, director
of the Australian thriller
619
00:28:34,669 --> 00:28:37,933
"Road Games," was convinced
he could make a sequel
620
00:28:37,977 --> 00:28:39,848
that paid tribute
to the original
621
00:28:39,892 --> 00:28:42,764
but was strong enough
to stand on its own.
622
00:28:42,808 --> 00:28:46,768
Franklin hired Tom Holland,
another Hitchcock disciple,
623
00:28:46,812 --> 00:28:48,378
to write the screenplay.
624
00:28:48,422 --> 00:28:50,772
I was desperate for a job,
625
00:28:50,816 --> 00:28:54,080
and I thought, "Well, that's
really the end of my career."
626
00:28:54,123 --> 00:28:58,606
Because I... you just knew that
the critics were gonna savage
627
00:28:58,649 --> 00:29:01,348
you for having
the temerity to do it.
628
00:29:01,391 --> 00:29:03,002
Holland and Franklin knew
629
00:29:03,045 --> 00:29:04,786
that they couldn't give
"Psycho" the sequel
630
00:29:04,830 --> 00:29:08,921
it deserved
without one essential element.
631
00:29:08,964 --> 00:29:11,401
The only way that we could do it
632
00:29:11,445 --> 00:29:15,144
was to get Tony Perkins back
as Norman Bates.
633
00:29:15,188 --> 00:29:17,190
♪
634
00:29:17,233 --> 00:29:20,759
Tony had felt that
the Norman Bates was a curse.
635
00:29:20,802 --> 00:29:23,239
And so he didn't want
to do a sequel.
636
00:29:23,283 --> 00:29:26,112
So I had to figure out
how to write a script
637
00:29:26,155 --> 00:29:29,550
that would be so terrific
for the actor
638
00:29:29,593 --> 00:29:32,031
that he'd have to do it.
639
00:29:32,074 --> 00:29:34,773
And so it was how to give him
a character arc,
640
00:29:34,816 --> 00:29:38,298
how to make it into
an acting piece.
641
00:29:38,341 --> 00:29:40,213
And that's how I came up with,
642
00:29:40,256 --> 00:29:43,825
well, you just ask logically,
if it's 22 years later...
643
00:29:43,869 --> 00:29:46,262
Which is what the time had been
since the original...
644
00:29:46,306 --> 00:29:48,482
Where would Norman have been?
645
00:29:48,525 --> 00:29:51,050
The film opens as
Norman Bates is released
646
00:29:51,093 --> 00:29:54,053
from a mental facility
and returns home.
647
00:29:54,096 --> 00:29:56,229
His doctor says he is cured.
648
00:29:56,272 --> 00:29:58,405
Others have their doubts.
649
00:29:58,448 --> 00:30:00,450
Norman's redemption
is threatened
650
00:30:00,494 --> 00:30:04,019
by a vengeful figure
from his past, Lila Loomis.
651
00:30:04,063 --> 00:30:07,066
The sister of the woman
Norman killed in the shower.
652
00:30:07,109 --> 00:30:10,243
Once again, Lila is played
by Vera Miles.
653
00:30:10,286 --> 00:30:12,462
And when he murders again,
654
00:30:12,506 --> 00:30:14,682
you will be
directly responsible.
655
00:30:14,725 --> 00:30:18,164
I think we identify with
Norman in a different way
656
00:30:18,207 --> 00:30:21,341
in "Psycho 2"
than we did in "Psycho 1."
657
00:30:21,384 --> 00:30:24,474
"Psycho 2" is about, you know,
658
00:30:24,518 --> 00:30:28,000
a misfit trying to find
his way back to the world.
659
00:30:28,043 --> 00:30:29,697
Can I help you?
660
00:30:29,740 --> 00:30:32,613
I'm Norman. Norman Bates.
661
00:30:32,656 --> 00:30:35,485
The new cook's helper.
662
00:30:35,529 --> 00:30:38,445
Norman gets a job at a diner
and begins a relationship
663
00:30:38,488 --> 00:30:42,797
with a sympathetic coworker,
Mary, played by Meg Tilly.
664
00:30:42,841 --> 00:30:44,233
They move in together.
665
00:30:44,277 --> 00:30:46,801
Is this room
where you had your troubles?
666
00:30:46,845 --> 00:30:49,195
One of them, yeah.
667
00:30:49,238 --> 00:30:50,694
Well, I don't know what
happened to you in the past,
668
00:30:50,718 --> 00:30:51,913
Norman, but you're never
gonna get over it.
669
00:30:51,937 --> 00:30:54,635
Not unless you face it.
670
00:30:54,678 --> 00:30:57,464
Then he starts getting
messages from Mother.
671
00:30:59,727 --> 00:31:02,469
Is Norman back to his old ways,
672
00:31:02,512 --> 00:31:04,471
or is someone trying
to frame him?
673
00:31:04,514 --> 00:31:07,778
I'm becoming...
confused again.
674
00:31:07,822 --> 00:31:09,702
You're rooting for Norman
to keep it together.
675
00:31:09,737 --> 00:31:12,479
You're rooting for Norman
to be a... to be sane.
676
00:31:12,522 --> 00:31:14,916
To be happy.
677
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,658
And now you don't want any
of the horror stuff to happen.
678
00:31:17,701 --> 00:31:19,747
To stay true
to Hitchcock's style
679
00:31:19,790 --> 00:31:22,141
while updating it for 1983,
680
00:31:22,184 --> 00:31:25,666
Richard Franklin hired
cinematographer Dean Cundey,
681
00:31:25,709 --> 00:31:28,669
then known for
"Halloween" and "The Thing."
682
00:31:28,712 --> 00:31:32,107
Originally, we wanted to do it
in black and white
683
00:31:32,151 --> 00:31:35,502
so that it looked like
the original.
684
00:31:35,545 --> 00:31:37,939
But Universal was pretty
adamant,
685
00:31:37,983 --> 00:31:39,680
no black and white.
686
00:31:39,723 --> 00:31:43,336
Richard was very, very specific
about how he wanted to,
687
00:31:43,379 --> 00:31:47,079
you know, make sure that
visually our version
688
00:31:47,122 --> 00:31:48,515
was a continuation.
689
00:31:48,558 --> 00:31:51,126
Nothing unusual.
690
00:31:51,170 --> 00:31:54,260
And to me, that was
a great sort of challenge,
691
00:31:54,303 --> 00:31:57,263
but fun thing to look at.
692
00:31:57,306 --> 00:31:59,961
The filmmakers also
modernized the sequel
693
00:32:00,005 --> 00:32:01,876
with graphic violence
Hitchcock wouldn't have
694
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,401
been allowed to show in 1960.
695
00:32:05,445 --> 00:32:07,379
This is very post "Friday
the 13," post "Halloween,"
696
00:32:07,403 --> 00:32:08,883
so you do get some nods to that.
697
00:32:08,927 --> 00:32:09,991
You get to Dennis Franz,
for example,
698
00:32:10,015 --> 00:32:12,017
getting his face slashed.
699
00:32:15,411 --> 00:32:16,998
Which is kind of a full
color version of what happens
700
00:32:17,022 --> 00:32:19,000
to Martin Balsam in the
original one, but you know,
701
00:32:19,024 --> 00:32:21,591
to see it in color makes
a big difference, obviously.
702
00:32:21,635 --> 00:32:24,159
"Psycho 2" ends
with a series of twists
703
00:32:24,203 --> 00:32:26,292
that would make Hitchcock proud.
704
00:32:26,335 --> 00:32:28,424
Why did you lie to that
sheriff and say Bates
705
00:32:28,468 --> 00:32:30,992
was with you this afternoon?
Mother.
706
00:32:31,036 --> 00:32:33,603
The Meg Tilly character is
the daughter of Vera Miles.
707
00:32:33,647 --> 00:32:35,649
They start to torture him
and drive him mad.
708
00:32:35,692 --> 00:32:38,565
And then Mary,
who's wormed her way
709
00:32:38,608 --> 00:32:41,002
into living in the house
with Norman,
710
00:32:41,046 --> 00:32:43,613
starts to feel sorry for Norman.
711
00:32:43,657 --> 00:32:45,180
I've been to all your meetings,
712
00:32:45,224 --> 00:32:46,853
I've done everything
you've asked me for years,
713
00:32:46,877 --> 00:32:49,054
but I am not going to hurt
Norman anymore.
714
00:32:49,097 --> 00:32:51,926
And she realizes that Norman
really is a good person
715
00:32:51,970 --> 00:32:55,364
at that moment and trying to
hold on to his sanity.
716
00:32:55,408 --> 00:32:58,019
Norman, do you recognize me?
717
00:32:58,063 --> 00:32:59,412
It's me, your mother.
718
00:32:59,455 --> 00:33:02,415
And eventually,
it costs her life
719
00:33:02,458 --> 00:33:05,026
because Norman has gone crazy.
720
00:33:05,070 --> 00:33:07,811
- Let me help you.
- You killed them all!
721
00:33:07,855 --> 00:33:09,378
Freeze!
722
00:33:11,685 --> 00:33:13,271
Well, this is why the sequel
doesn't suck
723
00:33:13,295 --> 00:33:15,994
is because the ending
makes sense.
724
00:33:16,037 --> 00:33:18,474
Typically in good sequels,
the rules of that movie
725
00:33:18,518 --> 00:33:21,042
then change what happened
in the first movie.
726
00:33:23,262 --> 00:33:25,612
Here in "Psycho 2" you find
out that Norman's mother
727
00:33:25,655 --> 00:33:27,005
really wasn't his mother.
728
00:33:27,048 --> 00:33:28,528
So...
729
00:33:28,571 --> 00:33:29,746
are you really my mother?
730
00:33:29,790 --> 00:33:31,661
That his real mother
is still around.
731
00:33:31,705 --> 00:33:35,056
The woman you thought was
your mother was my sister.
732
00:33:35,100 --> 00:33:38,146
And that she's the one
that's been killing everybody,
733
00:33:38,190 --> 00:33:40,844
punishing them for
what they did to Norman,
734
00:33:40,888 --> 00:33:43,804
putting him away.
735
00:33:43,847 --> 00:33:46,589
And he whacks her
over the head with a shovel.
736
00:33:46,633 --> 00:33:48,473
And then he's back to being
Norman Bates again.
737
00:33:50,898 --> 00:33:52,682
He carries her up the stairs
738
00:33:52,726 --> 00:33:54,206
and you hear that creepy voice
again.
739
00:33:54,249 --> 00:33:56,860
I'm not sleepy.
740
00:33:56,904 --> 00:33:59,080
Put me in my chair.
741
00:33:59,124 --> 00:34:00,603
Yes, Mother.
742
00:34:00,647 --> 00:34:02,475
So the arc of the movie
743
00:34:02,518 --> 00:34:06,261
is really Norman losing his mind
744
00:34:06,305 --> 00:34:08,089
a second time
745
00:34:08,133 --> 00:34:09,917
and the irony is,
746
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:14,313
he ends up at the end of the
movie as crazy as a loon
747
00:34:14,356 --> 00:34:16,097
and nobody knows it.
748
00:34:16,141 --> 00:34:18,056
It's a tragedy, in a way.
749
00:34:18,099 --> 00:34:20,406
Don't let them take me back
to the institution.
750
00:34:20,449 --> 00:34:23,539
Anthony Perkins is even be...
As great as he is in "Psycho,"
751
00:34:23,583 --> 00:34:25,976
I think he's even better
in "Psycho 2."
752
00:34:26,020 --> 00:34:28,544
I think it's one of the great
lead performances
753
00:34:28,588 --> 00:34:30,459
in any horror film ever made.
754
00:34:30,503 --> 00:34:35,116
You can't make me...
755
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,249
kill her.
756
00:34:37,292 --> 00:34:40,426
You don't know the effect
that a film's gonna have.
757
00:34:40,469 --> 00:34:42,558
I went to a dinner,
oh, I don't know,
758
00:34:42,602 --> 00:34:45,126
seven or eight years ago with
all the big horror directors
759
00:34:45,170 --> 00:34:49,261
and they voted "Psycho 2"
the best horror sequel ever.
760
00:34:52,307 --> 00:34:56,094
♪
761
00:34:57,791 --> 00:34:59,551
What do you call a sequel
that ups the ante

00:34:59,575 --> 00:35:01,360
on everything in the original
763
00:35:01,403 --> 00:35:03,144
then gleefully tears it apart?

"Gremlins 2: The New Batch."
766
00:35:12,501 --> 00:35:14,021
In 1984,
the horror comedy "Gremlins"
767
00:35:17,419 --> 00:35:20,030
was set loose on the world.
768
00:35:20,074 --> 00:35:23,599
It was a critical
and financial success.
769
00:35:23,643 --> 00:35:26,559
Warner Brothers wanted a sequel.
770
00:35:26,602 --> 00:35:29,301
Director Joe Dante did not.
771
00:35:29,344 --> 00:35:31,346
When I was offered
the opportunity
772
00:35:31,390 --> 00:35:33,696
to make a sequel
to "Gremlins 1," I said no.
773
00:35:33,740 --> 00:35:35,176
I'm sorry, I'm tired.
774
00:35:35,220 --> 00:35:36,569
I just did
this "Gremlins" movie.
775
00:35:36,612 --> 00:35:37,807
We had to make it up on the fly.
776
00:35:37,831 --> 00:35:38,895
We had to invent the technology.
777
00:35:38,919 --> 00:35:40,616
I'm exhausted,
I'm sick of Gremlins
778
00:35:40,660 --> 00:35:42,290
I don't want to have anything
to do with it, good luck.
779
00:35:42,314 --> 00:35:44,751
Six years later, they made Dante
780
00:35:44,794 --> 00:35:47,014
an offer he could not refuse.
781
00:35:47,057 --> 00:35:48,600
They said,
"We really want this picture
782
00:35:48,624 --> 00:35:50,298
and we want it enough to let
you do whatever you want."
783
00:35:50,322 --> 00:35:53,194
So I have never gotten an offer
like that before or since,
784
00:35:53,238 --> 00:35:54,761
and I said "Okay."
785
00:35:57,067 --> 00:35:59,200
Dante and screenwriter
Charles Haas
786
00:35:59,244 --> 00:36:01,811
turn "Gremlins 2"
into a monster movie
787
00:36:01,855 --> 00:36:03,944
imbued with the
establishment-baiting spirit
788
00:36:03,987 --> 00:36:06,947
of classic
Warner Brother's cartoons.
789
00:36:06,990 --> 00:36:08,862
You might as well
just start the movie.
790
00:36:08,905 --> 00:36:12,213
Roll 'em.
791
00:36:12,257 --> 00:36:14,607
"Gremlins 2" seems like,
792
00:36:14,650 --> 00:36:17,653
in the most glorious way
possible,
793
00:36:17,697 --> 00:36:21,614
um, a filmmaker biting the hand
that feeds him.
794
00:36:21,657 --> 00:36:23,920
Most sequels continue
795
00:36:23,964 --> 00:36:27,228
the story by expanding
on the original premise.
796
00:36:27,272 --> 00:36:31,058
"Gremlins 2" took the premise
and shredded it.
797
00:36:31,101 --> 00:36:32,973
Are you a fan of
"Gremlins 2: The New Batch"?
798
00:36:33,016 --> 00:36:35,410
I think Joe Dante
became a director
799
00:36:35,454 --> 00:36:37,195
so he could do "Gremlins 2."
800
00:36:37,238 --> 00:36:39,240
♪
801
00:36:39,284 --> 00:36:42,635
There always is a little bit
of a "Mad Magazine" parody
802
00:36:42,678 --> 00:36:44,463
of his own movie
running in the margin
803
00:36:44,506 --> 00:36:48,206
of a Joe Dante film.
804
00:36:48,249 --> 00:36:52,471
And with "Gremlins 2," he
was able to do a "Mad Magazine"
805
00:36:52,514 --> 00:36:55,865
takeoff on the first "Gremlins"
for the entire movie,
806

for the length of the movie.
807
00:36:58,172 --> 00:36:59,541
"Gremlins 2"
trades the small town setting
808
00:36:59,565 --> 00:37:01,262
of the first film
809
00:37:01,306 --> 00:37:04,439
for a Manhattan office tower
where returning stars
810
00:37:04,483 --> 00:37:08,269
Phoebe Cates and Zach Galligan
once again become entangled
811
00:37:08,313 --> 00:37:11,403
with the loveable Mogwai, Gizmo.
812
00:37:11,446 --> 00:37:14,014
Cute, isn't it?

00:37:14,057 --> 00:37:19,280
Inevitably, Gizmo gets wet...
814
00:37:21,326 --> 00:37:24,111
Spawning a legion of
evil gremlins who run riot
815
00:37:24,154 --> 00:37:27,636
through a building that's a
microcosm of American society
816
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:29,072
in the early 1990s.
817
00:37:29,116 --> 00:37:31,771
Now this week
we have our special salute
818
00:37:31,814 --> 00:37:35,688
to luncheon meat.
819
00:37:35,731 --> 00:37:38,212
Cultural satire
goes hand in hand
820
00:37:38,256 --> 00:37:41,476
with the satire
of the movie itself.
821
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,106
"Gremlins 2" is sort of
a movie about how there didn't
822
00:37:43,130 --> 00:37:44,914
need to be a sequel
to "Gremlins."
823
00:37:44,958 --> 00:37:47,241
I didn't expect that there would
ever be a sequel to "Gremlins"
824
00:37:47,265 --> 00:37:49,310
and much less
that I would be making it.
825
00:37:49,354 --> 00:37:52,313
Uh, so I decided to make
a movie about sequels
826
00:37:52,357 --> 00:37:54,924
and what are they worth.
827
00:37:54,968 --> 00:37:58,145
When they start goofing
on every aspect
828
00:37:58,188 --> 00:38:01,496
of the original premise,
in the movie, in the sequel,
829
00:38:01,540 --> 00:38:04,107
that was hysterical
830
00:38:04,151 --> 00:38:06,153
about, like,
"Hey, don't eat after midnight."
831
00:38:06,196 --> 00:38:07,956
Well, what if they're eating
in an airplane
832
00:38:07,981 --> 00:38:09,417
and they cross a time zone?
833
00:38:09,461 --> 00:38:10,981
I mean, it's always
midnight somewhere.
834
00:38:12,681 --> 00:38:15,162
Well, once Phoebe Cates
started parodying
835
00:38:15,205 --> 00:38:16,903
the Santa Claus story...
That's grea-
836
00:38:16,946 --> 00:38:19,949
The... the Phoebe Cates parodying
the Santa Claus monologue.
837
00:38:19,993 --> 00:38:21,690
Something terrible
happened to me
838
00:38:21,734 --> 00:38:23,126
on year on Lincoln's birthday.
839
00:38:23,170 --> 00:38:25,128
I didn't know you were
allowed to do that.
840
00:38:25,172 --> 00:38:27,740
I was like, "Are you allowed to
make fun of your own movie?"
841
00:38:27,783 --> 00:38:29,370
- This man with this beard...
- Honey, um...
842
00:38:29,394 --> 00:38:30,980
And a hat,
looked just like Abe Lincoln...
843
00:38:31,004 --> 00:38:33,180
- Honey, I really don't...
- Except for the raincoat.
844
00:38:33,223 --> 00:38:35,182
It made fun of the first movie.
845
00:38:35,225 --> 00:38:38,141
It made fun of the concept
of sequels.
846
00:38:38,185 --> 00:38:39,752
This is worst
than the first one.
847
00:38:39,795 --> 00:38:41,536
We just show these movies,
madam.
848
00:38:41,580 --> 00:38:43,190
We don't make them.
849
00:38:43,233 --> 00:38:44,974
It made fun of capitalism.
850
00:38:45,018 --> 00:38:47,020
I look at him,
you know what I see?
851
00:38:47,063 --> 00:38:50,328
Dolls with suction cups
staring out car windows.
852
00:38:50,371 --> 00:38:53,940
Joe Dante just seemingly
took everything he loved
853
00:38:53,983 --> 00:38:56,551
and then used it to make fun
of everything he hated.
854
00:38:56,595 --> 00:38:58,771
All the great horror movies
are in black and white.
855
00:38:58,814 --> 00:39:02,209
Mr. Clamp only likes color.
856
00:39:02,252 --> 00:39:05,299
It's got so many clever
and original ideas.
857
00:39:05,343 --> 00:39:08,171
Including having a film critic
858
00:39:08,215 --> 00:39:11,392
give the first film
a bad review again
859
00:39:11,436 --> 00:39:15,265
in the second film before
I'm killed by the Gremlins.
860
00:39:15,309 --> 00:39:18,573
Whoa, wait a minute.
I was just kidding, ow.
861
00:39:18,617 --> 00:39:20,227
A ten, it's a...
862
00:39:27,495 --> 00:39:29,473
I'm sure some people
in the audience are watching
863
00:39:29,497 --> 00:39:31,630
that movie with their popcorn
in their hand thinking,
864
00:39:31,673 --> 00:39:33,545
"What is happening?"
865
00:39:33,588 --> 00:39:37,026
"Gremlins" 2 also topped
the first film by bringing in
866
00:39:37,070 --> 00:39:39,986
special effects maven
Rick Baker to create a diverse
867
00:39:40,029 --> 00:39:41,640
new group of monsters.
868
00:39:41,683 --> 00:39:43,424
It's eating my vegetable medley.
869
00:39:45,557 --> 00:39:47,776
Mutant products of gremlins
running amok
870
00:39:47,820 --> 00:39:49,648
in the genetics lab.
871
00:39:49,691 --> 00:39:51,998
There is a phenomenal
Key and Peele sketch
872
00:39:52,041 --> 00:39:53,826
about the pitching
of "Gremlins 2"
873
00:39:53,869 --> 00:39:55,741
that's so funny.
874
00:39:55,784 --> 00:39:57,264
What if we did this?
875
00:39:57,307 --> 00:40:01,486
Everybody here gets to design
they own Gremlin.
876
00:40:01,529 --> 00:40:05,228
They weren't just like cute
and fluffy and then green.
877
00:40:05,272 --> 00:40:09,058
These were mutated Gremlins.
878
00:40:09,102 --> 00:40:13,149
So you get spider Gremlins,
flying Gremlins.
879
00:40:15,064 --> 00:40:16,979
You got talking Gremlins.
880
00:40:17,023 --> 00:40:19,460
Mind if I have a brief word
with you?
881
00:40:19,504 --> 00:40:21,854
You got my favorite,
you got the bougie Gremlins
882
00:40:21,897 --> 00:40:23,986
with big red lips,
883
00:40:24,030 --> 00:40:27,076
super incredible dress and wig.
884
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,992
And of course the flashing
Gremlin with the sick glasses.
885
00:40:32,386 --> 00:40:36,477
You got ever single Gremlin
you could want in the movie.
886
00:40:36,521 --> 00:40:39,088
The madness builds until
the spectacular finale
887
00:40:39,132 --> 00:40:42,831
when the heroes manage to
prevent a Gremlin apocalypse.
888
00:40:46,356 --> 00:40:49,490
I'm melting! I'm melting.
889
00:40:49,534 --> 00:40:51,971
"Gremlins 2" just gets better
every time you see it.
890
00:40:52,014 --> 00:40:54,669
"Gremlins 2," I think,
891
00:40:54,713 --> 00:40:57,803
might possibly be the
best sequel of all time.
892
00:40:57,846 --> 00:41:00,283
Probably "Gremlins 2"
is my most personal movie.
893
00:41:00,327 --> 00:41:03,809
Not in that it's personal to me,
except that it's
894
00:41:03,852 --> 00:41:05,724
my most unfiltered movie.
895
00:41:05,767 --> 00:41:07,005
I had nobody
looking over my shoulder,
896
00:41:07,029 --> 00:41:09,597
telling me what to do,
897
00:41:09,641 --> 00:41:11,251
and there's a lot of me in it.
898
00:41:11,294 --> 00:41:13,427
And to this day, there's never
been a "Gremlins 3."
899
00:41:13,471 --> 00:41:16,778
'Cause it feels like
"Gremlins 2" scorched the earth.
900
00:41:20,216 --> 00:41:23,350
Horror sequels give us a way
to return to the worlds
901
00:41:23,393 --> 00:41:27,180
that fascinated and frightened
us the first time around.
902
00:41:27,223 --> 00:41:31,271
We get to see our favorite
characters back in action.
903
00:41:31,314 --> 00:41:34,840
And we get more of everything.
904
00:41:34,883 --> 00:41:36,842
More monsters. More scares.
905
00:41:39,105 --> 00:41:42,108
Bigger and crazier kills.
906
00:41:42,151 --> 00:41:45,764
The best sequels give us
what we want...
907
00:41:45,807 --> 00:41:47,722
Make the old seem new again.
