00:00:04.140 --> 00:00:07.219
Halloween, I was thinking about this on the drive

00:00:07.219 --> 00:00:11.679
home. It's 2025. Robert, do you remember Halloween

00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:16.399
1985? Do you have any memories? I don't remember.

00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:19.420
I don't remember Halloween 1985 anymore than

00:00:19.420 --> 00:00:21.420
Paul Stanley remembers that conversation with

00:00:21.420 --> 00:00:30.870
someone at 87. I'm trying to remember. We were,

00:00:30.870 --> 00:00:35.909
uh, I know that we were in Virginia in 1985,

00:00:35.909 --> 00:00:39.429
but I couldn't tell you who we dressed up as.

00:00:40.350 --> 00:00:43.289
I don't remember any of the neighbors that we

00:00:43.289 --> 00:00:46.009
trick or treated to. Let me, Hey, let me get

00:00:46.009 --> 00:00:48.490
your thoughts on this. So my memories of Halloween

00:00:48.490 --> 00:00:52.770
as a kid was you didn't wear the, the, the costume

00:00:52.770 --> 00:00:56.289
prior to Halloween. That was on October 31st.

00:00:56.289 --> 00:00:58.250
That's when you put that thing on. I mean, you

00:00:58.250 --> 00:01:00.229
may have tried it. at the store or something

00:01:00.229 --> 00:01:04.109
but there weren't all these lead -up events and

00:01:04.109 --> 00:01:07.769
trunk retreats and fall festivals and stuff Robert

00:01:07.769 --> 00:01:11.750
with the configuration at your house I know that

00:01:11.750 --> 00:01:15.269
your kids are grown but do you Nancy do you go

00:01:15.269 --> 00:01:18.329
to these fall festivals and all these pumpkin

00:01:18.329 --> 00:01:24.430
patches and all of October stuff and is it do

00:01:24.430 --> 00:01:25.870
you do this do you have to do this stuff like

00:01:25.870 --> 00:01:29.810
I do no No, because we don't have little kids.

00:01:31.810 --> 00:01:36.769
That may have been the tail end of classic trick

00:01:36.769 --> 00:01:40.650
-or -treating. This was the mid -2000s. I remember

00:01:40.650 --> 00:01:43.969
we went to a neighborhood my friend lived in,

00:01:45.030 --> 00:01:46.849
and they had a whole trick -or -treat thing.

00:01:46.890 --> 00:01:48.650
I mean, you're going to everybody's houses, but

00:01:48.650 --> 00:01:50.769
there were so many kids and so many parents.

00:01:51.370 --> 00:01:54.489
It wasn't a trunk -or -treat. So we did that,

00:01:54.950 --> 00:01:57.659
and then we would just... We take them around

00:01:57.659 --> 00:01:59.879
the neighborhood, you know, if we weren't going

00:01:59.879 --> 00:02:03.239
to the other neighborhood. We did a haunted house

00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:06.359
this year and I used to take my son to haunted

00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:10.360
houses every year, you know, years ago. But I

00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:17.099
don't have to do all that stuff you do. Robert,

00:02:17.340 --> 00:02:21.000
are you a fan of going into a haunted house or

00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:22.740
something and you either can't see something

00:02:22.740 --> 00:02:24.620
or you put the blindfold on and they have you

00:02:24.620 --> 00:02:27.500
stick your hands? into this mystery bucket and

00:02:27.500 --> 00:02:29.780
you know what is this is this entrails or is

00:02:29.780 --> 00:02:33.319
this fettuccine or like have you done some of

00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:36.099
that and what are your thoughts i haven't done

00:02:36.099 --> 00:02:41.360
that in 40 years and i don't know that i want

00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:44.080
to do that again i don't even know that the haunted

00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:48.819
houses do that shit or do you have in your yard

00:02:48.819 --> 00:02:50.680
or around the house the way you guys decorate

00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:55.900
are there any severed digits or limbs That you

00:02:55.900 --> 00:03:00.699
have on display or do you guys get gory? In the

00:03:00.699 --> 00:03:04.199
yard, or is it pretty? You're pretty reasonable.

00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:07.319
I Would say it's pretty reasonable. We do have

00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:11.699
some some severed limbs up in the backyard that

00:03:11.699 --> 00:03:16.099
we set up for this this party that I have on

00:03:16.099 --> 00:03:19.199
Saturday night in the front yard. We have a graveyard

00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:23.080
and then when it quits raining We're gonna put

00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:26.169
up a bathroom at who looks like a big grim reaper.

00:03:26.310 --> 00:03:29.569
And then this nine foot skeleton demon playing

00:03:29.569 --> 00:03:32.550
a violin on a gravestone. Nice. So that would

00:03:32.550 --> 00:03:34.289
be kind of cool. And we're going to put up some

00:03:34.289 --> 00:03:37.349
spider webs, but for the most part, yeah, I'd

00:03:37.349 --> 00:03:41.969
say it's probably PG 13. Do you know if they

00:03:41.969 --> 00:03:45.229
make like, if you've got a graveyard set up,

00:03:45.729 --> 00:03:48.370
can you get like a zombie arm that's coming?

00:03:48.449 --> 00:03:50.210
It looks like it's coming out of the ground and

00:03:50.210 --> 00:03:54.349
it's protruding from the, from the soil. Yeah,

00:03:54.349 --> 00:03:57.550
you can buy that stuff that's kind of what the

00:03:57.550 --> 00:04:00.370
direction I would like to take if I Because I

00:04:00.370 --> 00:04:02.289
really haven't done a lot of decorations. I mean

00:04:02.289 --> 00:04:05.030
Natalie put some stuff out, but If I'm gonna

00:04:05.030 --> 00:04:07.550
do this, there's only one way and then we're

00:04:07.550 --> 00:04:10.909
gonna go Gonna go pretty we're gonna push the

00:04:10.909 --> 00:04:14.789
boundaries Do it because there's some yards that

00:04:14.789 --> 00:04:17.389
are scary But then there's like this this line

00:04:17.389 --> 00:04:19.970
that you just don't cross in a neighborhood because

00:04:19.970 --> 00:04:22.339
there might be little kids or or whatever but

00:04:22.339 --> 00:04:25.759
I kind of want to almost cross it. Just go up

00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:29.620
to the line. Maybe like have maybe not on trash

00:04:29.620 --> 00:04:31.879
day but one of those off days just have something

00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:34.939
that looks like a a body bag that's hanging out

00:04:34.939 --> 00:04:41.819
of your your toter or or be dragging something

00:04:41.819 --> 00:04:44.800
out of your house that looks like it's got blood

00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:48.430
like a big black garbage bag. Yeah, and just

00:04:48.430 --> 00:04:50.410
kind of do that routine in the mornings when

00:04:50.410 --> 00:04:52.449
you when you know people are going for their

00:04:52.449 --> 00:04:57.350
walk and stuff like that maybe I Don't know getting

00:04:57.350 --> 00:05:04.009
a little carried away, but How about we talk

00:05:04.009 --> 00:05:07.250
about movies I think we do each year this Friday,

00:05:07.250 --> 00:05:09.889
do you already know? All right. This is what

00:05:09.889 --> 00:05:13.410
I want to watch This is the order or is it pick

00:05:13.410 --> 00:05:16.709
it when the day comes this Friday I do but The

00:05:16.709 --> 00:05:19.209
whole season has been kind of just pick it as

00:05:19.209 --> 00:05:21.550
the day comes. I was waiting to play more of

00:05:21.550 --> 00:05:24.629
the classic movies towards the end. So this Friday,

00:05:25.009 --> 00:05:27.750
we're going to do Halloween, Halloween II, and

00:05:27.750 --> 00:05:31.870
Creepshow. But this whole season started off

00:05:31.870 --> 00:05:35.370
with House of a Thousand Corpses, classic Rob

00:05:35.370 --> 00:05:38.850
Zombie movie. Nancy watched A Nightmare on Elm

00:05:38.850 --> 00:05:41.009
Street for the first time. I'd never seen it.

00:05:41.389 --> 00:05:44.350
And then so we skipped part two and went to part

00:05:44.350 --> 00:05:46.269
three because that's more of a direct sequel.

00:05:46.990 --> 00:05:50.689
We watched Dr. Giggles and we watched Friday

00:05:50.689 --> 00:05:55.350
the 13th and The Lost Boys and Fright Night and

00:05:55.350 --> 00:05:58.290
Psycho. So it's been a lot of fun. We've set

00:05:58.290 --> 00:06:01.449
up a TV down in the backyard by the pool, had

00:06:01.449 --> 00:06:04.629
a couple horror fests. So it's been a lot of

00:06:04.629 --> 00:06:08.170
fun. And come November 1st will be time for Thanksgiving

00:06:08.170 --> 00:06:10.779
Horror. And then Christmas horror, and then it

00:06:10.779 --> 00:06:12.980
just keeps going on and on and on. That's right.

00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:16.540
I remember you saying that last year. Yeah. Yeah.

00:06:16.819 --> 00:06:19.980
So get ready for Thanksgiving horror. We'll watch

00:06:19.980 --> 00:06:21.860
the movie Thanksgiving. We'll probably watch

00:06:21.860 --> 00:06:25.100
Blood Rage and then go into Christmas, which,

00:06:25.100 --> 00:06:28.160
you know, that's Christmas has almost as many

00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:30.060
Halloween. I mean, horror movies as Halloween

00:06:30.060 --> 00:06:34.399
does. Yeah. But it's been a lot of fun. So definitely

00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:36.519
watching Halloween, Halloween 2 and creep show

00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:40.189
on Friday. And then I may throw a couple more

00:06:40.189 --> 00:06:43.689
in there, you know randomly we will see but it's

00:06:43.689 --> 00:06:49.050
gonna be fun. Mm -hmm Well, uh, I think you've

00:06:49.050 --> 00:06:52.149

past April. That's just amazing, Robert. Yeah.

00:07:14.810 --> 00:07:18.629
Any secrets to the success, the longevity? You

00:07:18.629 --> 00:07:21.610
still enjoy each other's company, I imagine.

00:07:22.430 --> 00:07:24.129
Yeah, you got to enjoy each other's company.

00:07:25.269 --> 00:07:28.149
You just got to be there for each other. You

00:07:28.149 --> 00:07:32.430
and your wife are a team and you got to be a

00:07:32.430 --> 00:07:34.970
team and you got to make time for each other.

00:07:35.069 --> 00:07:38.589
That's very important. And just keep each other

00:07:38.589 --> 00:07:42.370
up when things get hard and embrace and celebrate

00:07:42.370 --> 00:07:45.569
when things are easy. But just remember, you're

00:07:45.569 --> 00:07:50.589
a team. You got to do the hard stuff and you'll

00:07:50.589 --> 00:07:56.009
enjoy the rewards. How successful have you been

00:07:56.009 --> 00:07:58.470
on those times where you disagree about something

00:07:58.470 --> 00:08:02.129
and Nancy's just not hearing any more of it?

00:08:02.699 --> 00:08:04.600
You're thinking, man, what did I, what did I

00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:08.060
say? Uh, can I rewind what's going on here? And

00:08:08.060 --> 00:08:10.899
you just start chasing her around the house and

00:08:10.899 --> 00:08:13.459
you say, Hey, wait, honey, but listen, I didn't

00:08:13.459 --> 00:08:15.439
mean it like that. And she's, she's walking in

00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:17.259
the kitchen. She's walking in the other room.

00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:19.899
She won't let you catch up with her. She won't.

00:08:19.899 --> 00:08:22.240
And do you, have you ever had situations like

00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:26.399
that? And you're thinking, Oh man, I am just

00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:29.240
digging myself a deeper hole and I just need

00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:31.600
to go. sit on the sidelines for a little bit,

00:08:32.019 --> 00:08:34.039
or do you guys do all right in that department?

00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:37.259
We do all right. It's happened, obviously. I

00:08:37.259 --> 00:08:41.259
think it happens good. Robert, have you ever

00:08:41.259 --> 00:08:43.299
gone up with the hands up in the air and say,

00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:48.879
I can explain. I can explain everything. No,

00:08:49.820 --> 00:08:55.820
I haven't done that yet. I know what that usually

00:08:55.820 --> 00:08:58.700
means. What would happen before that happens?

00:08:59.100 --> 00:09:06.200
Let me explain. Yeah, it's not what it looks

00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:16.179
like. So thankfully that has never happened.

00:09:17.299 --> 00:09:26.710
Yeah. All right. Anything else? Recommendations

was At your house on Halloween. Maybe one of

00:12:11.730 --> 00:12:14.929
these years would get the kids up there and uh

00:12:14.929 --> 00:12:17.590
