Welcome back to At Sixes and Sevens
The podcast where we're either dead serious or just dead inside.
Today we're doing something special, something horrifying, but something iconic.
Gosh, what was that intro all about?
That's right though
It's our Halloween special.
How exciting.
Spooky times.
Tonight we are diving into the legendary horror movie icons that have haunted our nightmares
and our Netflix recommended pages for years.
You know, from Jason Voorhees to Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers and many more.
My favourite of those being Art the Clown from Terrifier, of course.
I love Peggy Sue.
If you're still here.
Yes.
No, I can't say we're not going back to that.
But if you're still here, thank you for obviously tuning into us.
We hope we're going to, you know, show off a great episode for you guys today.
So grab yourself your favourite bevragino, grab your popcorn, maybe a crucifix, who knows,
because things are about to get scarier than my social life.
But before we continue, I just want to address something.
So a lot of people have asked about us.
So I think it's a good time that we can explain the meaning behind our podcast name, which
is at sixes and sevens.
And that's for those who might not know what that means.
Yeah, honestly, it is the perfect time because one, it's Halloween.
Two, it's that mysterious kind of thing that we, nobody really knows about it.
And we get the question so much.
It's unbelievable.
So like, why at sixes and sevens?
What does it mean?
Kind of thing.
And it's like, it's actually an old kind of phrase or like a catchphrase that just means
kind of being in a state of confusion or disarray.
You know, when everything's just, it feels a little bit off.
And honestly, that pretty much just sums up the vibe of this show.
Like, we cover cases that leave you scratching your head from true crime, disappearances,
paranormal stuff, you know, the kind of stories where nothing really makes sense and everything
feels just a little chaotic.
Yeah, exactly.
We chose the name because it reflects the way that these kind of mysteries make us feel.
Like how do people vanish without a trace?
Like we go into the deeper meanings and the deeper kind of things that people don't ask.
Like how do entire families disappear?
Ghosts haunting the same spot for centuries.
Like what?
How?
It's all a bit of a mess, yes, but that's why we're here to dive into that confusion
just straight head on, you know, just raw dogging it.
Absolutely.
And so whether it's the chaos of an unsolved mystery or just our general vibe here at Six
and Sevens, you know, the name with the meaning behind it just feels kind of the perfect fit
for us.
Oh, it really does.
But in terms of what Rio is saying, we're just professionally confused.
Exactly.
Our job is to be confused.
Exactly.
Now that's out of the way.
Let's start with the big guy, Jason Voorhees.
The man, the myth, the machete wielding machine.
But before he was a hockey mask wearing slasher, we all know and fear, he was just a kid.
Like every single one of us, unless you're Willy Wonka who said he was never really a
kid.
But anyway, he was just a kid who was very unlucky.
Yeah, exactly.
For those of you who don't know the backstory of Jason, basically Jason drowned at Camp
Crystal Lake because the counselors were too busy counseling each other, if you know what
I mean.
His mother, Pamela Voorhees, didn't take that too well.
So she went on a killing spree to get revenge.
Good old Pamela.
Oh, you can never get rid of her.
But Jason didn't even make an appearance as the killer in the first movie.
The whole of the first movie was actually mummable.
He's good old Pamela.
The original helicopter parent, except instead of checking your homework, she's checking
your pulse to see if you're dead, of course.
But when Jason finally shows up in the sequels, it's because he somehow didn't die.
Turns out Jason's allergic to staying dead, as we all know.
If you've played the games, if you've watched the movies, you know that he just, he will
not die.
So with his mum's death to revenge and an eternal grudge, he then comes back as this
indestructible machine welding maniac.
Jason's basically like living proof that not all childhood trauma leads to therapy.
You know, sometimes it leads to murder instead.
Well, that's a funny thing actually.
I'm going, well, I'll go back to kind of that, how the killers or how the serial killers,
the murderers, what I'd be able to call them.
They never die.
Even though, you know, they have amputations, decapitations, whatever it may be, they come
back.
They're stitched back together.
They stitch back.
So Chucky is a perfect example.
He literally gets burned in the first movie.
We'll probably go over that later, but he comes back and it's like, how?
There's no logical sense.
How?
But you know, going back to Jason though, he's like the guy who gets ghosted, but he
takes it way too personally.
So like, he's not just haunting Camp Crystal Lake because of just all of that one bad summer.
He's just on never ending murder spree.
I don't know, kind of a murder vacation.
I love that.
I love the murder vacation.
I feel like that really suits Jason Voorhees.
He's like, you know how on TikTok you got all this Camp America stuff.
Go to Camp America.
So much fun.
Woo!
Camp genocide.
Camp Jason Voorhees.
I don't think he was camp.
I think he was straight, but anyway.
Now let's move on to...
Walking around like, Hey Queen!
Slay!
Oh, I'd go to that camp.
Oh yeah.
Honestly, me too.
Have you ever played the games, Tommy?
Oh, I've only played like Dead by Daylight.
I don't think, I think Friday the 13th is the one you're about, isn't it?
Yes.
I love that game.
I haven't played it once, unfortunately.
I've seen a couple of Eclipses and there's some funny moments, but I don't really think
it'd be my ace myself.
It's, it's, it's a game that you, you know, you'd enjoy during Halloween, but you couldn't
play it all year round, but it is a really, really fun game.
Yeah, that's, that's true.
Now that we've covered Jason, let's move on to the next favourite, which is Freddy Krueger.
You think your nightmares are bad?
God almighty.
Freddy is the nightmare.
Every time you say Freddy, I think of Five Nights at Freddy's.
I'm sorry.
You still go over Freddy now.
Oh gosh.
Five Nights at Freddy's.
That's another one we could go into.
Yeah.
Cause we got that whole of the game theory and MatPat, you know, big shout out to game
theory.
Um, we could go into the whole timeline of Five Nights at Freddy's.
Rest in peace game theory though.
Rest in peace MatPat.
But before he was a dream hopping psychopath, he was a child killer.
Oh lovely.
Yeah, by a mob of angry parents who decided to, you know, skip the whole due process thing
and just kill them themselves.
I mean that's one way to do it.
His origin is kind of like straight out of a revenge fantasy.
After being set on fire, he somehow comes back again as a dream demon.
Going back to the theme of killers never die.
Cause apparently hell was like, nah, you're too fucked up.
I'm sorry.
You're the kind of guy who turned nap time into a murder spree.
I can just imagine Satan, you know, Freddy Krueger coming down and Satan's like, nah,
fuck this man.
You're too much even for me.
Oh hell nah.
Get back up there.
Would they say hell no in hell or would they say heaven no?
That's a good point actually.
And let me call Lucifer real quick.
You're not losing.
You're a Satanan dude.
But Freddy's character is all about control.
In life he preyed on the innocent, but in death he one ups himself by going after people
in their sleep.
It's inception, but like more horror, isn't it?
Like he goes in within a dream, within a dream, within a dream kind of thing.
Yeah.
He's like Martin Luther King on steroids basically.
I had a dream.
I had another dream.
Freddy Krueger was there.
Oh, well that's a very strange dream.
Nightmare.
Do you know a lot about Freddy Krueger?
You know, he always, he's quite a funny character.
He always cracks jokes.
Not really.
I mean, obviously I know of the whole idea and basis of him, but I don't, I haven't really
watched the movies cause I didn't really like Freddy Krueger that much.
I'm not going to lie.
He's not on my top five.
I think Freddy Krueger was the one that I was always most scared of because like, fair
enough, Jason Voorhees.
Yeah, cool.
He's at camp, but I know I'll never go to that camp, whatever.
But Freddy Krueger, I was, I was like, Oh my God, every time I close my eyes, I want
to see this sweater waiting burn man.
The one that I think actually really messed me up was Chucky.
I never could bring myself to watch or to actually just look at Chucky because he freaked
me out so much.
Nowadays it's not the case because me and obviously my significant other, we just kind
of watched the whole of the Chucky series and went through all of that.
And I was like, this is actually not bad.
It's still creepy, but it's not as fucked up as I thought it would be.
Yeah.
Um, I was never afraid of Chucky.
Oh my God.
What petrified me, right?
This is going to sound so stupid, but I watched, um, this is one of the scary movies.
Which one would had the bitch from the ring?
Oh, I don't even know that could be in it.
I haven't, it was like the first or the second one, but I watched that like a very, very
young age and that bitch from scream like crawling out the TV and like Cindy, the TV's
leaking, you know, all that fucking terrified me.
I was petrified.
I was like, I remember this.
I was maybe like five or six or whatever, maybe even younger, but I was sitting, um,
like in the toilet and I shouted to my mom across the apartment because this is when
we were living in Poland.
Oh yeah.
I'm like, can you make sure the TV's off and the door's locked?
Because I was so scared.
Like I had this one experience.
It wasn't, it was just interesting.
Um, where we turned all the TV off and everything.
Cause we were going back upstairs and no one was in the front living room at all.
Like the lights were off, you know, everything was fine.
And me and my mom were walking up the stairs and we started hearing the TV turn on and
put on full blast.
What the fuck man.
So that night I wasn't able to sleep and I was like, but I think we should get back to
her.
Freddie, shouldn't we?
Freddie.
Yes.
Um, what was I saying?
Oh, I was talking about the jokes.
Why he's always, you know, cracking jokes and the reason for that is that's kind of
his way of taunting his victims.
Like add an insult to literal injury.
You're basically like the most terrifying standup comedian you could never ask for.
But his one-liners, the killer.
That was so funny.
They really are.
Yeah.
Um, his arc is kind of a guy who's so bitter that even death can't stop him.
We're going back to it again.
He's like, you burn me alive, but guess what?
I'm roasting and now so are you.
Like, yeah, he's going to roast them whilst being roasted and he's like a hog on a roast
that just can't stop squealing.
Yeah, but at least hog on a roast is tasty.
Have you ever tried Freddy Krueger?
I'd love to.
I mean, no, no.
Yeah.
Don't mock it till you try it.
Um, but going back to the food childhood trauma thing, let's talk about Michael Myers.
Oh yes.
Here's a guy who stabbed his sister to death when he was six years old and then just kind
of stopped talking ever.
Yeah.
Michael Myers is kind of like one of the ones, it's just up there.
It's like that could really mess me up.
But he's got, he Michael's like, I've said all I need to say, so I'm just going to stand
here and staring you menacingly.
Sorry.
He was standing there menacingly.
He was standing there just menacingly.
He does do that.
And he spends the next 15 years in a mental institution, just only to escape and go right
back to what he does best, which is stalking babysitters and just adding them to his body
count and not the sexual kind, literal body count.
Yeah.
He's counting how many bodies, not humans.
Yeah.
But when you said mental institution, I just thought of all the TikToks and memes of, you
know, dancing with their, their socks are like the Crocs and they're like just got out
of a mental hospital.
I can imagine Freddie, sorry, Michael Myers doing that.
Oh, that as soon as you get so.
Someone needs to do that.
Yeah.
Michael Myers costume.
Please tag us on TikTok if you do that.
But first of all, you need to get admitted to a mental hospital and you need to do, don't
even pretend you're in a mental hospital.
Actually do it.
Go the full a hundred yards.
Be mental.
If you're not mental, just pretend to be so you can make this TikTok and go viral and
tag at sixes and sevens.
I was at sixes and sevens podcast on TikTok.
I can't remember.
It's one of them though.
You can search it up.
We'll tell you at the end.
Basically.
We'll find out.
Uh, but what makes Michael so terrifying is that he has no real motive.
Like he doesn't kill for revenge or anger because, because well it's, that's just what
he does.
He's like a shark.
Yeah.
He's literally like a shark in a human form, silent, relentless and always on a hunt.
But let's not forget though, he doesn't actually run.
That's true.
He's speed walks.
Yeah.
He's speed walks.
He's like, why bother?
I can't be bothered to run.
You'll trip over something eventually and I'll just catch up.
It happens with every single movie.
Trips over, they kill him.
Easy death.
Uh, plus the fun fact, um, the mask that he wears, it's a modified William Shatner mask.
So every time Michael stabbing someone, just imagine if captain Kirk was watching with
dead soulless eyes.
Oh my God.
I love that.
Like you know, people wear the Michael Myers mask now and they're like, Oh, this is Michael
Myers for Halloween.
But they don't realize they're actually going as William Shatner.
Just a very fucked up William Shatner.
Yeah.
If that, have you seen the, uh, the trend on tick tock where somebody dresses up in
Michael's my Michael Myers and they're like, Oh, could I escape Michael Myers and time
they get in the house and that.
Oh yes.
I love that trend.
I've always wanted to try it.
Yeah, me too.
And it's like half the time when you're getting in the house, it takes you what?
10 seconds max to unlock the door, open the door, lock the door.
Yeah.
And then in the strength, people are like stumbling.
They're like falling because they're actually scared and they're trying to run away.
And you don't realize that when fear and adrenaline kicks in, you will make more mistakes.
That's why if you ever get into a situation where you need to, um, you know, run for your
life and escape, just collect yourself.
I wouldn't say take a moment because you'd die, but just, just collect yourself.
Just, you know, kind of slow down because sometimes slower is faster.
But if you thought things couldn't get weirder, let's bring in your favorite.
Okay.
No, why do we have to talk?
But this story is wild.
Like it's, it wasn't always adult.
You know that, right?
No, I I've seen the movies.
Yeah, the backstory of Chuckie is he was a serial killer named Charles Lee Ray who used
voodoo to transfer his soul into a good guy doll while dying in a toy store.
Like, I mean, talk about like a last minute life choice.
And obviously Charles Lee Ray himself, his nickname was Chuckie.
So obviously that's where it comes from, where it's like, where did the name actually come
from?
Imagine kind of being on your deathbed and thinking, you know what?
I'm just going to become a toy.
Like I'd become a vibrator.
Oh, for God's sake, Rio.
I'd become one of them toy ducks that just stare or rub a duck.
That'd be funny.
But Chuckie kind of wasn't looking to live out his days hosting tea parties with toddlers.
Of course.
He wanted revenge and was determined to kill anyone who got in his way.
What makes Chuckie so funny and terrifying at the same time?
Mostly terrifying.
True.
But for me, it's funny because I was never scared of Chuckie.
But it's the fact that he's still got all the bloodlust of full grown killer.
But now he's like two feet tall, but he's a grown man.
It's like getting murdered by a ginger toddler with a foul mouth and a knife collection.
What I don't understand though is I've watched obviously all of the movies is where does
he get those fucking knives?
They just appear out of nowhere.
It's so annoying.
Well, not even that.
He just puts them in his pocket and then somehow we could just pull one out.
If it was that easy to grab a knife out of my pocket, I'd be Edward Scissorhands at that
point.
But let's not forget that Chuckie has got a family now.
Bride of Chuckie, that's not just a horror movie.
It's a romcom that's gone very wrong.
So it's a rom-hom-com.
But wait, a rom-
A rom-hom-com?
A rom-horror-
Horror-rom-com.
Yeah.
Horror-rom-com.
Something like that.
I love that.
Yeah.
It's a great one, honestly.
It is a great movie and I can't remember what the-
No, it was Glenn.
Yes.
The child name is Glenn slash Glenda.
So they've added in non-binary as well, which honestly was way ahead of their time.
That was released in what?
19-
Yes, it's kind of a sling.
Oh, I can't even remember.
Was it 2000s actually?
But they were ahead of their time with Glenn and Glenda.
But since we're in a topic of dolls and creepy dolls, next up Annabelle.
I've never actually watched Annabelle.
I know a bit about it, but I've never watched it.
Just cause it's again, it's dolls.
Neither have I.
Dolls creep me out.
True.
I have got a fear of like normal dolls.
Not-
Chucky isn't really a doll for me, but like, you know, the actual like dolls, dolls.
Uh, antique, yeah, dolls.
I know what you're talking about.
Yeah.
When you tilt their head back, they close their eyes.
Fuck that.
It's just their eyes.
They're like marble eyes.
It's bleh.
No, no.
No, no, no.
But Annabelle, she's not the most active killer, but she's definitely got that creepy
doll-esque aesthetic about her.
Her story, she's a conduit for a demon that's attached itself to the doll.
Oh.
Oh, okay.
Well, she's the kind of doll I think you'd find at a yard sale.
And the minute you bring her home, the whole of your life just turns into paranormal activity,
of course.
She doesn't even have to move and yet she somehow manages to make everything in your
house haunted.
Like we could go back to the Kedi, was it the Kedi cabin where all of the drawers were
moving?
Like she could do that with the powers basically.
It's just like having a roommate who won't pay rent, but is totally fine with just messing
up your life entirely.
Very true.
But her backstory isn't as hands on as the others.
That's what makes her like more terrifying.
Like crafted.
Like, she doesn't do the dirty work herself.
She lets the demons do it for her.
She's like the CEO of haunting, haunting, pardon me, who's delegates the evil.
Have you ever heard of Robert the doll?
No, I don't think I have.
Oh my God.
It's like an anabolic steroids.
Oh no.
Yeah.
So, Oh God, he's terrifying.
It's, he's, he's a real doll and there's not a movie about him.
I don't think, but he's the kind of doll that if you look at him or if you take a picture
of him or if you take a video of him, he is known to cause people physical harm.
Through looking at him, looking into his eyes.
What's believed is, you know, San and Kobe and Kobe apparently, you know, he, sorry,
I shouldn't say apparently Kobe got cancer last year, apparently by looking at that doll.
Oh, which is terrifying.
It is.
I've seen a picture of this doll and I've looked this doll and I've looked at it in
the eyes and I'm like scared of what's going to happen to me.
I mean, it is, do you have to look at it in real life or do you have to look at it through
a phone?
No, apparently like apparently can do it through, you know, just looking at it in any sort of
form.
Have there been cases online?
Apparently so.
Oh, that's why everybody that posts the photo of Robert has to put a disclaimer, you know,
that this may cause you physical harm.
Oh, I don't want to look at that ever.
I don't, I never want that to come my way because it's just like, that's the creepy
things.
It's a bit too creepy, honestly.
Just as long as we stay out of Florida because he's in the East Martello Museum in Key West,
Florida.
Well, first of all, you'll never see me go to America.
I think we will.
No, I mean one for politics reasons, but two, I can't handle the heat.
I'm a pale man.
America is hot.
You do know that that, you know, states like Ohio are very similar to the UK weather wise.
I mean, yeah, you make a point, but most of the one, the destination and tourist kind
of places within America.
We wouldn't go to the destination and tourists ones.
We'd go to the ones like the most haunted places so that we can do paranormal investigations.
Oh God, hate that.
I hate that.
Yes, I know, I mean, we've got some ideas in the works, but it just needs to come out,
don't they?
Well, we may be working on some stuff from my end.
Tommy won't be involved in that.
However, it will still be with At Sixes and Simmons on YouTube.
Anyway, going back to-
Not yet.
I might be in an episode or two out of a hundred.
We've got plenty of ideas.
Either way, let's get back to kind of the killers.
The CEO of haunting.
Yes, indeed.
Who were we on about?
It was a- Annabelle.
Yes, Annabelle.
Yes.
She's one of them, which I don't think I've ever watched the movie.
Like-
That's fair.
It's a creepy doll.
And what was it?
It was like the boy.
Is it the boy?
Something like that.
It's like another doll movie where he's like, it's a child within the walls and it's just
a doll.
Anything to do with dolls, I absolutely hate.
Do not bring a doll near me.
Okay.
Let's move on from dolls then.
Please do.
Shall we go on to our final contestant, which is contestant, which is Leatherface.
Oh yes.
Yes.
I love this movie.
Oh, the chainsaw wielding lunatic from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
The most famous out of them all, I think.
Because of how amazing it is, of course.
Oh yeah.
A hundred percent.
But before he became the face of, well, other people's faces, Leatherface was born into
a cannibalistic family.
This Leatherface himself grew up in the worst possible environment you could grow up in.
His family basically raised him just to kill butcher and obviously serve people for dinner.
He's not just making a fashion statement with those skin masks.
He's also catering for the family's barbecue.
To two for one.
I did not want to be invited to that.
I'm not lying.
I mean, I don't know.
I've always kind of wondered what, it's kind of weird.
What skin would taste like cooked?
It sounds really bad when you say it out loud, but I do wonder what it's like.
Chicken?
Apparently so, but we'll never know.
Maybe that's one of the episodes.
Tommy Try's human skin.
I will not be doing that.
You can join the Try Guys and Keith in trying the menu, but I will not be trying that.
That Leatherface is a tragic figure in a way.
He doesn't kill because he enjoys it.
He does it because it's really all he knows.
It's what he was raised with.
He's like, well, I wasn't great at math, but I'm pretty handy with a chainsaw.
You know, I might as well do that for the rest of my life.
And if I put two and two together, oh, well, I can't do that.
So you know, decapitated body parts, but either way I can kill.
Is it asset?
But the thing that I like about Leatherface is he's a real family man.
Like he's family orientated.
Even if by family, you do mean a group of murderous cannibals who somehow make dinner
prep look like a slasher movie.
But you know what they say?
A family that slays together stays together.
I love that.
It sounds like a very gay family.
We slay, we stay.
Oh, wait.
Oh, yeah.
Got them.
I turned into RuPaul for a second, but it's wild how all of these horror icons have such
messed up backstories.
They didn't just wake up one day and say, you know what?
I'm going to be a mass murderer.
There's always trauma or revenge or some freaky video shit going on.
It's not like all these serial killers that we have in a world that we kind of, we don't
degrade them.
We tell their stories and we make documentaries about them, but we don't make them icons like
Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers, Leatherface.
We don't make movies about them.
No, definitely not.
If we did, you'd probably be concerned at that point is what person would want to write
about or want to have watch a movie about all of the messed up, terrible things that
I was certain serial killer has done.
These are kind of quite tame in comparison to what the real life world can, you know,
happen.
Oh, a hundred percent.
I am more terrified of humans than I am of Michael Myers or Freddy Krueger.
Genuinely.
Except Chucky.
I fucking hate Chucky.
Yeah, that's fair.
I could be chased by a legitimate serial killer and I would still say, yep, no, this is better
than being chased by Chucky.
I'm not kidding.
I hate it.
Chucky, you can just kick it.
Zero killer, you could just be like, fuck you.
Even if you kick it, he's going to come back and try and kill you.
He's a doll.
So realistically, he's not invincible, but he doesn't feel as much pain unless he turns
into a human or gets human qualities.
That is true, but it really does this kind of...
And he has a smaller hit box.
Open your eyes of trauma or revenge being involved and all of the killers.
It makes you think though, doesn't it though?
If Jason had just gotten some swimming lesson, none of it would have happened.
True, true.
Or if Freddy Krueger had gone to therapy instead of turning into a dream demon.
Michael Myers, he just needed a hug.
The face, he could have been a very good chef and well, Chucky, I don't know what would
have fixed Chucky.
I'm not going to lie, he was an absolute mad man.
You just really, really hate Chucky.
Oh, I do.
I could shit talk Chucky for all of my life.
The movies weren't bad, but I still don't like him.
What was it?
Jennifer Tilly, I think it is the bride of Chucky.
That I can get behind, but not Charles Leroy.
Definitely not.
But in your opinion, all of these movies and all of the killers that we talk about, what
are you going to rate them?
Let's go from like kind of top to bottom.
What are we going to rate them?
Well, before we do that, shall we do an honorable mention?
Oh, there's an honorable mention?
Mm hmm.
Oh, go on then.
William Afton from Five Nights at Freddy's.
Yes, I knew we were going to get into this.
Oh, I cannot wait.
The man behind the purple mask.
Afton is one of those villains that lurks in the back of your mind.
The kind who makes you think twice about animatronic animals and late night shifts.
Yes, William Afton or as you said, purple guy.
As the fans lovingly call him, he is the co-founder of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza and the twisted
mind behind the franchise's infamous hauntings.
He is the guy who turned family fun centers into horror shows.
Oh my God, I love him so much.
I love Five Nights at Freddy's.
I honestly, I could speak to anybody about the whole lore of Five Nights at Freddy's
because one, the movie was absolutely great and they cast Matthew Lillard as William
Afton.
So I'm so happy about that.
Yes.
But also just how Scott Cawthon has created the whole lore of this.
It's incredible.
Imagine a man so twisted, he turns children's spirits into vengeful ghosts, trapped them
in animatronic bodies.
And we're not just talking about some temporary haunting.
These kids are in it for the absolute long haul with obviously back to back jumpscares
included.
Oh yeah.
A lot of jumpscares.
Too many.
And a lot of, you know.
A lot of moments where you're on the edge of your seat.
Yes.
I remember watching Markiplier and Judy By play it.
Oh my God.
I could never, I never played it myself.
No, I never could.
Yeah.
I always watched them.
But it's not just the murders.
No it's not.
He's got this endless determination, somehow managing to come back from every supposed,
you know, death.
Which is again going back to that serial killer reviving themselves.
Yeah.
They never die.
They just, villains never die.
Because what's a villain if he doesn't have the best survival instinct and horror?
It's like Afton has a loyalty card for the afterlife itself or anybody of those killers
do.
And it's like, one more gruesome death and your next reincarnation is free.
I love that.
They're like, you need to kill so many kids to get stamps.
And once you fill out one card, you get a reincarnation.
That is terrible.
But fans of FNAF know that Afton's story is full of twists and mysteries from his purple
guy days to his life as Springtrap trapped in that decaying animatronic suit haunting
his own creations.
And just a reminder, this guy, William Afton, did all of this in the name of science.
He didn't want to do it for, you know, the clout, but he did it for science and a penchant
for creating literal nightmare fuel, of course.
Yeah, it's very true.
So here's to William Afton, a master class in villainy and a true pioneer in making pizza
arcades officially terrifying.
And to anyone working late at Chuck E. Cheese tonight, stay safe.
Definitely watch your back.
Absolutely.
I think that's a great one I want to mention.
I think if I was to rate them, I'd put William Afton at the top just because I love the lore
and the story.
I do think William Afton would be one for me.
Then it would be Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers, Chuck E., Annabelle.
Have I missed anyone out?
Oh, and Leatherface.
I'm not a big fan of Leatherface.
I don't know.
I kind of disagree.
So at the top, I'd put Jason Voorhees and Leatherface.
Underneath I'd put Freddy Krueger.
And then obviously underneath that I'd put probably Michael Myers.
And then underneath that would be Chuck E. and Annabelle in the same one.
And it'll be like the lowest tier that you can.
That's obviously, I hate dolls.
I get that.
So whether you believe in a paranormal or not, if you're just here for a good scare,
there's no denying the allure of these tales from poltergeist to vengeful animatronics.
You know, the line between real horror and pure imagination can honestly be razor thin.
It's so great how many ideas that these producers and these people can actually come up with
and create nightmares for little children and completely ruin their life.
But speaking of nightmares, we can't obviously forget our honorable mention, Willie Marston.
Oh, the best one.
I still can't get over.
I love Five Nights at Freddy's so much.
It's unbelievable.
But he's made, the only reason I mention him is because he's made countless fans look
at animatronics in a whole new, deeply unsettling light.
That is very, very true.
You know, I'm not going to look at Chuck E. Cheese the same or I'm not going to look at
animatronics the same without thinking there is somebody dead in them.
Yeah, it's a spirit roaming around there and the eyes are just staring at you.
Yeah.
But he is the villain who keeps coming back for more.
You know, Afton's dedication is the kind of persistence we can't decide if we admire or
we're just terrified of.
All you need to do to be a serial killer is be persistent.
That's what we kind of figured out with all of these stories.
But we've got a little bit of advice for you.
If you ever find yourself alone late at night, you hear a faint mechanical hum.
Fucking run.
Nah, you're dead.
If you hear it, you're dead.
You just know you're instantly dead at that point.
Anyways, thank you all so much for joining us on this chilling journey.
If you're new here, do not forget to follow at Sixes and Sevens on all major platforms.
And hey, leave us a review because they really, really help.
Honestly, the reviews help us make it onto people's recommended pages.
So, you know, just keep telling us what you think and it's your kind of version of telling
us I'm still here without the haunting part.
You know, those are credits in Five Nights at Freddy's where it just says I am still
here or something like that.
That is basically what it's like.
It just lets us know you're haunting us.
And we love that.
We really do.
We want you to haunt us.
It lets us know that you keep coming back.
Exactly.
You want more.
You know.
Yeah.
So we apologize for the obviously lateness.
I have been moving house and I have been ill.
So if you have anyone to blame, blame me for the two weeks I was absent.
But we're coming back weekly episodes, hopefully, and get everything sorted.
Either way, you might think you're alone in the dark.
But with all these hauntings and spirits and sinister legends, you might not be alone as
you think.
Stay curious.
Stay cautious.
Oh yeah, master.
And keep an eye on this animatronics.
Until next time.
