Hi, I'm David Hasselhoff. You may know me as the king of TV, | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
but I've also been in more movies than Kim Kardashian's | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
been in nail bars. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:08 | |
Horror, sci-fi, action, romance, dance, sports, I've done it all. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:13 | |
Sometimes all in the same scene. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
Well, tonight, I'm going to give you the benefit of my 40 years' experience | 0:00:15 | 0:00:19 | |
in the movies. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
As I give you | 0:00:21 | 0:00:22 | |
The Hoff's Best Horror Film Ever. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:26 | |
Ha-ha-ha-ha! | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
This programme contains some strong language and scenes which some viewers may find disturbing. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:35 | |
Welcome to the Hoffice. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
Come in but don't touch anything, it's not yours. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
During my undeniably illustrious screen career, | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
I've worked on such butt-clenchers as Anaconda III and Piranha 3DD. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:59 | |
And like I always do, I got out of both alive. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
Because well, it wasn't real. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
But those terrifying experiences taught me | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
what real fear is probably like. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
At the end of this show, I'm going to use that experience | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
to reveal to you The Hoff's Best Horror Film Ever. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
Now, here's a horrifying look at the spine-chilling trip | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
we're about to take. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
Look and learn, people. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:22 | |
Do you want to play? | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
Along the way, we'll meet some creepy kids... | 0:01:24 | 0:01:29 | |
I'm already scared of having children, | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
but now I've got to factor in having a child that might be a devil? | 0:01:32 | 0:01:37 | |
Are you mad? | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
..get disturbed by some scary sounds... | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
Eee-eee-eee. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:45 | |
That's classic. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
..bump in to the baddest of the baddies. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
-Here's Johnnie. -Here's Johnnie! | 0:01:51 | 0:01:55 | |
How has Jack Nicholson ever slept with any women? | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
We'll meet some horror victims... | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
You don't have a look in the cupboard, | 0:02:04 | 0:02:05 | |
you don't look underneath your bed to see what's there, you run away. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
You'll need eyes in the back of your head | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
as we change the way you see your home for ever. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
Shut the mirror, | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
there's something there. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
Next thing you know... | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
his face is in the sink. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
You don't want to miss a thing. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
So stick around. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
Feeling scared yet? You should be. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
You know back in Knight Rider, I came up against probably | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
the greatest bad guy I've ever seen. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
It was me, playing my own double. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
You know people often say to me, "David, how did you do it?" | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
Well, I simply put on a small beard | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
and raised my eyebrow in a menacing way. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:55 | |
The bad guys in horror movies each have their own style too. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:59 | |
But which is the baddest of them all? | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
Well, there's no shortage of scary characters to choose from. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:05 | |
Congratulations. You are still alive. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
I'm right behind ya! | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
This... | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
is God. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:22 | |
The best horror baddie has to have some mystery. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
It has to be more than one person. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
GASPING | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
When you realise what human beings are capable of, | 0:03:36 | 0:03:40 | |
there's no supernatural at all, a person did this. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
It chills me more because your next door neighbour, Barry, | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
who's always a bit quiet and he's staring out of his window, | 0:03:46 | 0:03:50 | |
that could be him. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:51 | |
The scariest thing is the monster within people. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
If it's someone who's genuinely disturbed | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
that would have a reason to kill someone like you. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
That's what makes it scary. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
SHE SCREAMS | 0:04:07 | 0:04:08 | |
The scariest baddie for me, is Patrick Bateman in American Psycho. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:17 | |
Another Martini, Paul. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
We all know people that could be Patrick Bateman... | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
The mud soup and charcoal arugula are outrageous here. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
..because he outwardly looks | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
so normal and respectable. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
I can't walk in to an estate agent's | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
without assuming that everyone is probably going to murder me. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
Hey, Paul! | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
My scariest villain in a horror movie, is Freddie Krueger. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:46 | |
Tag. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:47 | |
You're it. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
You're not looking at him thinking, | 0:04:52 | 0:04:53 | |
"You look all right, like a normal person. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
-"I could spend some time with you." -You have nothing to worry about. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
This won't hurt... | 0:05:00 | 0:05:03 | |
one... | 0:05:03 | 0:05:04 | |
little... | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
bit. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:07 | |
SHE SCREAMS | 0:05:07 | 0:05:09 | |
It's family that's scary, out of everything. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
It's not ghosts, or goblins, it's mum and dad. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:16 | |
But just a bit murderous. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:18 | |
I love you, Danny. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:19 | |
I love you more than anything else | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
in the whole world. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
I would never do anything to hurt you. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
Jack Nicholson in The Shining is the scariest baddie in a horror film... | 0:05:30 | 0:05:34 | |
..because he has the trust of his family, | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
so he can do whatever he wants | 0:05:38 | 0:05:39 | |
and they'll kind of go along with it but he just wants to kill them. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
-Wendy... -Stay away! | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
Darling, light of my life, | 0:05:44 | 0:05:46 | |
I'm not going to hurt you. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
You didn't let me finish my sentence. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:50 | |
I said I'm not going to hurt you. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:52 | |
I'm just going to bash your brains in. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:55 | |
It's so kind of deliciously unhinged. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:57 | |
No! | 0:05:58 | 0:06:00 | |
SCREAMING | 0:06:00 | 0:06:01 | |
How has Jack Nicholson ever slept with any women at all? | 0:06:01 | 0:06:05 | |
Surely you just feel all the way through like, | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
"He's going to murder me any minute. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
"I'm going to get murdered any minute. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:15 | |
"Any minute, I'm getting murdered." | 0:06:15 | 0:06:17 | |
We've all kicked the door open on our girlfriend having a poo | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
and gone, "Here's Johnnie!" | 0:06:20 | 0:06:22 | |
Here's Johnnie! | 0:06:22 | 0:06:23 | |
SHE GASPS | 0:06:23 | 0:06:25 | |
Pretty creepy, huh? | 0:06:25 | 0:06:26 | |
And what's even creepier is that these guys live in the most | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
normal places and the one thing we all value, is normality - | 0:06:29 | 0:06:33 | |
a modest house, a small, tight community, a family car. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:38 | |
I'm talking about you here, I mean, | 0:06:38 | 0:06:40 | |
I live in a huge colonial style mansion with armed security but you get the point. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:45 | |
Hold my hand. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:46 | |
As I take you on a journey to explore the calm before the storm. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:50 | |
It's OK, it's OK. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:53 | |
The most frightening horror location for me is suburbia. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
A lot of us live in the suburbs, so la-di-da-di-da, | 0:07:00 | 0:07:04 | |
nothing could go wrong here. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
It's usually manicured lawns and suburban houses. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:10 | |
You know, this beautiful, idyllic setting. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
So you feel like, "Oh, this could actually happen." | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
You know, kids running around doing some skipping. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:18 | |
The more realistic it is, then the more terrifying it can be. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:25 | |
In that reality you could see yourself easily. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
All you're thinking is, "One of them's going to get it." | 0:07:33 | 0:07:37 | |
Creepy Carrie! Creepy Carrie! | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
It's the waiting for it to happen and knowing it's coming eventually. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:44 | |
So the longer that's eked out the more tense you get. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:47 | |
Paranormal Activity, starting off so boring. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:51 | |
I suppose that's just to get everybody | 0:07:51 | 0:07:54 | |
thinking about their own homes and stuff like that. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
Because it was so domestic and normal | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
and seemed just like everyday life, that was what made it so scary. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:04 | |
Fuck! | 0:08:08 | 0:08:10 | |
Nightmare On Elm street. Elm street of course just a normal, | 0:08:10 | 0:08:14 | |
general, American road. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:17 | |
And then of course the nightmare begins. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:20 | |
CLANKING | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
The idea of it, obviously, is they're normal people | 0:08:32 | 0:08:34 | |
going about their normal lives. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:36 | |
Then these horrific things happen to them. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:44 | |
Ensure all residences are secure with all doors | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
and windows firmly locked and barricaded. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:50 | |
THEY SCREAM Fucking hell! | 0:08:53 | 0:08:55 | |
-Oh, for God's sake! He's got an arm off! -Get him! | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
For some reason, the dudes in great horror films are drawn | 0:09:12 | 0:09:16 | |
to the woods, to the cellars and dark corridors. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
Like screaming girls are drawn to a David Hasselhoff concert! | 0:09:19 | 0:09:23 | |
Personally, I wouldn't go in to a spooky forest without my agent, | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
my assistant, my hair and make-up guy and a couple of armed guards. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:30 | |
Check these dummies out! | 0:09:30 | 0:09:31 | |
The worlds of horror movies are full of stupid people. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:41 | |
Because in real life if there was a ghost or a monster in your room, | 0:09:42 | 0:09:45 | |
the first thing you would do is run. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:47 | |
You don't have a look in the cupboard, you don't look underneath your bed to see what's there, | 0:09:54 | 0:09:59 | |
you run away. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:00 | |
SHE SCREAMS | 0:10:03 | 0:10:05 | |
Some of the cliches of horror films are there to wind viewers up. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:10 | |
You know, "Don't go in to the scary cellar alone." | 0:10:10 | 0:10:13 | |
You'd never go down in to a basement. Why would you do that? | 0:10:16 | 0:10:19 | |
Because as soon as you do that, | 0:10:19 | 0:10:21 | |
you're narrowing where you can get to. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:23 | |
There's never been a good outcome of anyone going up or down any stairs. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:32 | |
Get away! | 0:10:40 | 0:10:41 | |
Just make it a bungalow and you're going to be safe. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:44 | |
The victim doesn't make smart choices. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:52 | |
I'm a five foot five, weaponless female, | 0:10:52 | 0:10:55 | |
I'm going to walk down that dark path and have a look. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:59 | |
Why? | 0:10:59 | 0:11:00 | |
Not in any horror film has anyone ever turned around and gone, | 0:11:03 | 0:11:06 | |
"Maybe we should just leave the house and call the police." | 0:11:06 | 0:11:09 | |
Call the police! And if the phones aren't working... | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
LINE UNOBTAINABLE TONE | 0:11:11 | 0:11:14 | |
..go and hide. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:15 | |
The victim gets himself in to a situation where there's no way out. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:22 | |
Like, "Oh, I'm trapped in the kitchen, | 0:11:26 | 0:11:28 | |
"why don't I be trapped in the loft?" | 0:11:28 | 0:11:31 | |
Shit! | 0:11:34 | 0:11:35 | |
Never hide in a closet... | 0:11:39 | 0:11:40 | |
..because you've got nowhere to go. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
Look what Ronnie did. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:51 | |
Survival instincts tell you to go where there's space and people. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:54 | |
Yet in horror films, those instincts don't kick in. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:57 | |
Help me! Let me out! | 0:11:57 | 0:12:01 | |
Common sense does not make for a good movie. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:03 | |
There has to always be someone dumb enough to walk in to the cabin. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:10 | |
Part of the beauty of the films actually, | 0:12:16 | 0:12:18 | |
is that you are on the edge of your seat shouting at the television. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:22 | |
HE PANTS | 0:12:24 | 0:12:26 | |
Apart from tabloid journalists hiding in your garbage, | 0:12:31 | 0:12:34 | |
there are few things more sinister than a whispering child. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:39 | |
And a good horror flick knows that a clever combination | 0:12:39 | 0:12:42 | |
of innocent imagery and latent evil, | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
is enough to give anyone the heebie-jeebies. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:48 | |
Except me. I'm totally not scared of anything. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:51 | |
Except... | 0:12:53 | 0:12:54 | |
pre-nuptial agreements. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:56 | |
I hate creepy kids in horror films. Why does a child have to be scary? | 0:13:01 | 0:13:06 | |
Why does a child have to be scary? | 0:13:06 | 0:13:08 | |
I don't know why you've got to go there for. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:10 | |
Do you want to play? | 0:13:12 | 0:13:13 | |
They haven't learnt any sort of morals | 0:13:13 | 0:13:17 | |
or what's right and wrong, and that's why, you know, they are scary. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:21 | |
You have the little kids. The nightgowns that they wear. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:29 | |
One of the scariest moments in The Others, | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
when Nicole Kidman goes in to the room | 0:13:34 | 0:13:38 | |
and her little girl's playing with this little puppet thing. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
What's the matter? | 0:13:41 | 0:13:42 | |
Where is my daughter? | 0:13:42 | 0:13:44 | |
Are you mad? | 0:13:44 | 0:13:46 | |
I am your daughter. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:48 | |
You're not my daughter! | 0:13:48 | 0:13:50 | |
I remember screaming out loud in the cinema. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:53 | |
Kids in horror films are scary just because I think it's in their eyes. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:56 | |
Because you can tell that they're thinking about acting. | 0:13:56 | 0:13:59 | |
They're thinking about where they need to stand | 0:13:59 | 0:14:02 | |
and what they need to say, but in a horror context, | 0:14:02 | 0:14:04 | |
you kind of watch them and you're thinking, | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
"What are you thinking?" | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
Damien, Damien, Damien! It sounds like onion. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:16 | |
No, but he's really just demonic. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:19 | |
No, no, no! | 0:14:19 | 0:14:21 | |
No! | 0:14:21 | 0:14:23 | |
SHE SCREAMS | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
Them two, them Shining two, them twins. "Hello, Danny." That shit. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:33 | |
And now I'm scared of twins. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:36 | |
It's just horrible. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:39 | |
Come and play with us, Danny... | 0:14:39 | 0:14:41 | |
..for ever | 0:14:44 | 0:14:46 | |
and ever | 0:14:46 | 0:14:49 | |
and ever. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:52 | |
And then Danny himself gets a bit freaky | 0:14:52 | 0:14:54 | |
when he gives it all that, | 0:14:54 | 0:14:57 | |
-"Redrum, Redrum." -Redrum, Redrum! | 0:14:57 | 0:15:00 | |
Redrum! | 0:15:00 | 0:15:02 | |
It meant that when I was 15, 16, I did not want a job as a baby-sitter. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
I was like, "I don't know these kids, | 0:15:05 | 0:15:07 | |
"this child could be possessed. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:09 | |
"I'm having no time with it. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:10 | |
"This is horrible." | 0:15:10 | 0:15:12 | |
ALL TALK | 0:15:12 | 0:15:13 | |
We've got a guest. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:16 | |
You're going to die up there. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:20 | |
There's nothing more innocent than a little lovely child, | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
but then the Devil takes them over! | 0:15:26 | 0:15:29 | |
So The Exorcist, that's like, so scary because it's a kid. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:37 | |
I mean, imagine if it was just some old, grumpy, homeless guy. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:41 | |
It's like, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're the Devil, OK. You threw up." | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |
I'm already scared of having children, | 0:15:48 | 0:15:50 | |
but now I've got to factor in having a child that might be a devil, | 0:15:50 | 0:15:54 | |
or a demon. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:56 | |
Rocky. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:57 | |
You're trying to get me to be his mother. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:02 | |
Aren't you his mother? | 0:16:02 | 0:16:04 | |
Any symbol of innocence is so much more scary | 0:16:05 | 0:16:07 | |
when you make it perverse or awful. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
Hi, I'm Chucky, wanna play? | 0:16:10 | 0:16:14 | |
It's chilling, I know. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:16 | |
Your ears are often the first thing to tell you | 0:16:17 | 0:16:20 | |
that something in the movie is wrong. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
Well, that and my face not being on the poster. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:26 | |
Nothing quite sends a chill up the spine like a scary soundtrack. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:31 | |
Let's take an unwise trip through the forest of creepy sounds. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:35 | |
Because I watch horror films from behind a cushion, | 0:16:45 | 0:16:48 | |
I feel like an expert on the soundtrack. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:50 | |
There is a bit of a formula, you've got the creaking door. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:56 | |
DOOR CREAKS | 0:16:56 | 0:16:57 | |
Errrrrr... | 0:16:57 | 0:16:59 | |
Eeeeeeee. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:02 | |
Who opens doors that slowly? | 0:17:03 | 0:17:05 | |
No-one has a creaky door any more. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:11 | |
Have they not heard of WD-40... | 0:17:11 | 0:17:13 | |
in the horror films? | 0:17:13 | 0:17:15 | |
Something falls on the floor, that's always scary. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:17 | |
Even if it's nothing that big. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:19 | |
If it's a cat knocking something over, it makes you go, | 0:17:19 | 0:17:24 | |
"OH, MY... Oh, no, it's fine." It's just the pet of the maniac. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:27 | |
Is it a ghost? Is it their imagination? You get sucked in more | 0:17:34 | 0:17:37 | |
because that's more like what we've experienced. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:40 | |
Her imagination is playing tricks on us. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:42 | |
Silence. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:48 | |
It wasn't until I watched The Woman In Black, | 0:17:48 | 0:17:50 | |
that I realised how powerful silence is | 0:17:50 | 0:17:53 | |
and how terrifying it is. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:54 | |
Constant little bursts of adrenaline. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:05 | |
Daddy. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:07 | |
Arthur! | 0:18:17 | 0:18:18 | |
In the end you're shaking, so by the time that crazy biatch comes on | 0:18:18 | 0:18:22 | |
you're ready to follow through. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:24 | |
SCREAMING | 0:18:24 | 0:18:26 | |
SHE SCREAMS | 0:18:29 | 0:18:32 | |
Just that noise of the knife coming down, | 0:18:32 | 0:18:34 | |
"Eee, eee, eee. " That's classic. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:37 | |
BLADE LASHES | 0:18:39 | 0:18:41 | |
That noise is so intricately associated with that scene, | 0:18:44 | 0:18:47 | |
that it would feel completely wrong to watch it silent. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:51 | |
You've got your Jaws, obviously, that music is iconic. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
THREATENING MUSIC PLAYS | 0:18:54 | 0:18:57 | |
You know that danger's coming when you hear that music. | 0:18:57 | 0:18:59 | |

Shark. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:12 | |
SCREAMING | 0:19:12 | 0:19:15 | |
That Jaws music is some of the scariest music ever. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:17 | |
Even if you're just in the bath. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:19 | |
It's simple. That's why it works so well. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:22 | |
I think sharks are aware of their soundtrack that they now have. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:25 | |
But I'm sure they'd be proud of that one. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:27 | |
The most important thing you need in a horror movie, is the budget to only afford one piano for your score. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:36 | |
PIANO MUSIC PLAYS | 0:19:36 | 0:19:39 | |
Because that's the scariest sound - high notes on one piano. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:42 | |

The guy who did the effects in the Exorcist used his own | 0:20:00 | 0:20:05 | |
leather wallet to recreate the sound of Linda Blaire's head | 0:20:05 | 0:20:09 | |
turning 360 degrees. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:12 | |
Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with the Father and the Holy Spirit. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:16 | |
HE CLICKS HIS TEETH | 0:20:16 | 0:20:18 | |
So, now I've got you all scared out of your minds, | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
you'll be wondering where the safest place to hide is. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
Somewhere with a lock on the door. Like the bathroom, right? Wrong! | 0:20:25 | 0:20:30 | |
Everybody knows that in horror movies, | 0:20:30 | 0:20:33 | |
if you go to the bathroom you might as well flush your kidneys down the toilet! | 0:20:33 | 0:20:37 | |
If horror films have taught me one thing it's this. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:44 | |
Don't ever go in to the bathroom. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:46 | |
Wee outside, brush your teeth in the kitchen. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:54 | |
Bad things happen in a bathroom. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:56 | |
You're more vulnerable in the bathroom. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:13 | |
Because normally you're naked or halfway through doing something. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:19 | |
SPLASHING | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
CISTERN FLUSHES | 0:21:24 | 0:21:27 | |
Shut the mirror and there's something there. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:31 | |
Argh! | 0:21:31 | 0:21:32 | |
Shining, you've got scary person in the bath who's dead. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:40 | |
A scene that I remember disturbing me as a kid is in Poltergeist, | 0:21:44 | 0:21:48 | |
when the scientist, I think he's a paranormal investigator, | 0:21:48 | 0:21:52 | |
comes to the house. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:54 | |
He ends up suddenly going in to the bathroom | 0:21:54 | 0:21:57 | |
and he's staring in the mirror. | 0:21:57 | 0:21:59 | |
Next thing you know... | 0:22:08 | 0:22:10 | |
his face is in the sink. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:12 | |
Problem is, that the bathroom is a really necessary thing in life | 0:22:17 | 0:22:21 | |
and horror films have just ruined it for me. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:24 | |
OK. So you've made it out of the bathroom, good. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:28 | |
I just hope you opened the window. Now, death is a nasty business. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:34 | |
I've always imagined that one sunny day I'd slip away quietly | 0:22:34 | 0:22:37 | |
surrounded by weeping Baywatch babes. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:40 | |
People in horror movies don't tend to be so lucky. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:45 | |
If they're not having their head used as a flaming basketball, | 0:22:45 | 0:22:48 | |
they're peeled like a banana and thrown in acid. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:51 | |
But hey, it's a living. Let's see some grizzly stuff. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:56 | |
In a good horror death, you need blood... | 0:23:04 | 0:23:07 | |
Argh! | 0:23:07 | 0:23:09 | |
..you need noise... | 0:23:10 | 0:23:11 | |
SAW DRONES | 0:23:11 | 0:23:13 | |
..and you need something that's usually on the inside of you, | 0:23:15 | 0:23:18 | |
to become on the outside of you. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:19 | |
Deaths in a horror movie are made memorable | 0:23:21 | 0:23:24 | |
because of the inventive ways that they happen. | 0:23:24 | 0:23:26 | |
The death in The Omen where a piece of the church breaks off the spire | 0:23:26 | 0:23:30 | |
and just...goes down and goes through the priest's chest. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:33 | |
No! | 0:23:36 | 0:23:38 | |
It was shown during the Olympics which was a bit inappropes. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:44 | |
The best way is decapitation. That's my favourite. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:47 | |
I think it's a really nice clean-cut way to die in a horror film. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:49 | |
There's no doubt if they're dead or not. There's no way | 0:23:53 | 0:23:55 | |
they can go up to the body and go, "Dave? Dave?" He's got no head. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:58 | |
SCREAMING | 0:23:58 | 0:24:00 | |
Nightmare On Elm street was the first film | 0:24:03 | 0:24:06 | |
to star a young actor called Johnny Depp. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:09 | |
He falls asleep on the job and gets taken by Freddy Krueger. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:13 | |
So he gets pulled along with the television down into the bed | 0:24:15 | 0:24:19 | |
and cascades of blood spurt out from where he once was. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:23 | |
In The Lost Boys, when they fill the bath up | 0:24:26 | 0:24:28 | |
with garlic and holy water to kill the vampire... | 0:24:28 | 0:24:30 | |
If I had my way, I'd always bathe | 0:24:33 | 0:24:35 | |
in garlic and holy water just to check that I haven't turned. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:38 | |
Garlic is like a blood purifier | 0:24:41 | 0:24:43 | |
and obviously vampires have got bad blood. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:46 | |
I would be tempted to throw some oregano on him afterwards | 0:24:49 | 0:24:52 | |
just to see what would happen. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:54 | |
That's like a middle-class exorcism, where you chuck balsamic on. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |
Probably the best thing is burning someone in a giant wicker man. | 0:24:57 | 0:25:02 | |
SCREAMING | 0:25:02 | 0:25:05 | |
Oh God, I humbly entreat you | 0:25:05 | 0:25:07 | |
for the soul of this, thy servant, Neil Howie. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:10 | |
What could be better than that? | 0:25:10 | 0:25:11 | |
My favourite, they nearly get away but don't quite moment, | 0:25:13 | 0:25:17 | |
is when Rose McGowan is trying to get away from Ghostface | 0:25:17 | 0:25:20 | |
and he's in the garage. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:22 | |
It's so ridiculous, it's so farcical. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:25 | |
I think that's sort of almost how we all fear we might die. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:29 | |
Not with any gravitas. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:30 | |
The more extreme it is, the funnier it is, because you go, "come on." | 0:25:35 | 0:25:38 | |
SHE SCREAMS | 0:25:39 | 0:25:41 | |
No, no! | 0:25:44 | 0:25:45 | |
Well, I've shown you some of the things you need to make a truly terrifying film. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:59 | |
So, now to reveal what I think is the best horror film ever. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:04 | |
Hey, it's my show, my rules. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:08 | |
It's got creepy child twins with bad jumpers, | 0:26:08 | 0:26:12 | |
a toe-curling bathroom scene | 0:26:12 | 0:26:14 | |
and the most deranged human bad guy I have ever seen. | 0:26:14 | 0:26:18 | |
The Hoff's Best Horror Film Ever is... | 0:26:18 | 0:26:22 | |
SHE SCREAMS | 0:26:27 | 0:26:29 | |
Great party, isn't it? | 0:26:32 | 0:26:33 | |
The Shining has all the amazing elements of a horror film. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:37 | |
It's got creepy children, | 0:26:37 | 0:26:39 | |
gore, | 0:26:39 | 0:26:41 | |
and Jack Nicholson. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:43 | |
Jack Nicholson at his creepiest best. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:46 | |
He's got this darkness to him, he's got this wickedness to him. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:52 | |
I'm right behind ya! | 0:26:52 | 0:26:55 | |
The kid on the tricycle in the corridor... | 0:26:56 | 0:26:59 | |
..it puts a shiver down my back now thinking about it. | 0:27:03 | 0:27:05 | |
The Shining is a masterpiece. I still can not watch it on my own. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:26 | |
But please, try not to have nightmares. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:31 | |
After all, horror films are just fun, artistic fantasies | 0:27:31 | 0:27:36 | |
made by sick people with sick senses of humour. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:39 | |
It's actual psychopaths that you should really be worried about. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:43 | |
Sweet dreams, Britain. | 0:27:45 | 0:27:48 | |
