High School Horror Movie Countdown: Our Top Picks!

[00:00:00] We're heading back to high school this week as we dive into our favorite high school horror movies.

[00:00:19] He's back! This week on the No More Late Fees podcast, my little brother Johnny is back to join us! Hey Johnny!

[00:00:28] Hey, it's me! It's a me, a Johnny! It's a me, a John!

[00:00:33] The last time he was on for Napoleon Dynamite where he goes, welcome me!

[00:00:40] You're welcome! You're welcome! I'm here!

[00:00:47] So how's it been?

[00:00:48] Yeah!

[00:00:49] It's been good. It's been good.

[00:00:52] I heard you may be working on a rug.

[00:00:54] Oh, it's right here. I'm looking at it right now.

[00:00:57] Okay.

[00:00:59] Okay.

[00:01:00] It's not the outline.

[00:01:02] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:01:05] You know what?

[00:01:07] Johnny texted me. He's like, oh, well, you know, if you were to get a rug,

[00:01:14] which logo would you want? What color?

[00:01:16] And so I had to like act real cool. Like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess. I guess if I wanted one.

[00:01:21] I didn't realize you put down whatever you were catching what I was putting down.

[00:01:27] I thought I was swive out.

[00:01:30] I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.

[00:01:35] Yeah, it's looking hella good. I'm not going to show you, but it's hella good.

[00:01:39] I wouldn't be surprised.

[00:01:39] Is it better than mine?

[00:01:42] Of course not.

[00:01:43] It's looking pretty good. It's looking pretty good.

[00:01:46] I don't even know why she asked.

[00:01:52] It's what you know, I do. I definitely get better each time.

[00:01:55] I think, you know, I get more proficient, you know, I'm doing it quicker and I'm doing it, you know, doing it better.

[00:02:01] I think so.

[00:02:03] And if you guys haven't caught the drift, John makes beautiful rugs.

[00:02:08] I don't understand the process, but I love to watch him on the ticky-tock as he goes through and makes these.

[00:02:16] I'm like every time at the end, I'm like, wow, like, like it's brand new for me each time.

[00:02:22] I know him.

[00:02:26] They're fun to do and they're fun to do and fun to like put the content together and record and, you know, you know, work my magic on it.

[00:02:34] But yeah, custom rugs. One, two, three, four, five, six.

[00:02:38] I was going to tell you shout out the usernames, buddy, but we will put it in our show notes.

[00:02:47] So you guys go check out Johnny's masterpieces and order one if you want one.

[00:02:52] Yeah, for sure.

[00:02:53] Yeah, you're gonna have to wait because he's working on a master.

[00:02:59] And Danielle, Johnny and I are going to ACL this weekend and we are seeing blink 182 and I am so fucking excited.

[00:03:09] Thank God because the guilt I got when I went to go see them last time I was like, you know, you're not making it fun for me, Jackie.

[00:03:17] I didn't even get a t shirt. So was I supposed to buy one?

[00:03:22] I just thought you would have girl.

[00:03:26] I didn't think of that.

[00:03:28] I'm sorry.

[00:03:29] You know, I don't really be going to concerts like that.

[00:03:32] So I don't even know.

[00:03:33] You don't know.

[00:03:35] Concert protocol.

[00:03:36] And I don't know.

[00:03:37] I never bought.

[00:03:38] I've never bought a piece of merch ever from a concert.

[00:03:42] That's how I made their money.

[00:03:44] Well, I don't know.

[00:03:48] My very first concert was Cool and the Gang at the park with my aunts.

[00:03:53] Like.

[00:03:55] I've never been a good time.

[00:03:58] Next time.

[00:03:59] That was awesome.

[00:04:00] Danielle, knowing Jackie and knowing our family, what do you think my first concert was?

[00:04:07] I don't know if I know the answer.

[00:04:09] A very first concert?

[00:04:11] Very first concert.

[00:04:12] First concert for John.

[00:04:14] Oh, well.

[00:04:16] Okay.

[00:04:17] Hold on.

[00:04:18] Hold on.

[00:04:18] Hold on.

[00:04:18] Here are my three thoughts.

[00:04:21] If I don't know how early on they took you to a concert.

[00:04:24] So I don't know if it was during Jackie's Warren G phase, which you had to go.

[00:04:31] I've never seen Warren G, which is a damn shame.

[00:04:35] Or if it was during the boy band explosion or war tour, because you guys would go to California

[00:04:42] every year and go to war tour.

[00:04:44] So I could imagine it's like a punk rock or scob group or something.

[00:04:50] Yeah.

[00:04:51] Am I right?

[00:04:52] All good guesses.

[00:04:53] The classic Hanson brothers was my first.

[00:04:56] Oh my God.

[00:04:57] Yes.

[00:04:58] Oh, fuck.

[00:04:59] Sorry, Johnny.

[00:05:01] Secret option D.

[00:05:03] I totally.

[00:05:04] It's because in my brain, I try to forget.

[00:05:10] So you don't get upset when Jackie goes to see Hanson all the time.

[00:05:14] Why would I?

[00:05:14] I want my girl to flourish and have a good time as long as she doesn't want me to attend

[00:05:20] as well.

[00:05:22] I'm fine.

[00:05:23] We're in the same boat.

[00:05:24] Have I ever taken you to a Hanson concert?

[00:05:27] Yep.

[00:05:28] It was great.

[00:05:28] We had a good time.

[00:05:29] You're a fucking liar.

[00:05:32] And one day this will be rectified.

[00:05:35] I don't think it's something that does need to be.

[00:05:39] I think you would enjoy yourself.

[00:05:41] Mmm.

[00:05:43] Mmm.

[00:05:45] I think you would.

[00:05:47] Well, we love that.

[00:05:49] You love Hanson.

[00:05:50] Yes, we support it.

[00:05:51] A hundred percent.

[00:05:53] And you know what, Jackie?

[00:05:54] Can we pivot?

[00:05:55] Because I heard from Lance Bass himself directly.

[00:05:58] And when I say directly on what, watch what happens live through a tick tock or reel that

[00:06:05] Maru sent me on Instagram that he said, we're the closest we've gotten to an in sync reunion

[00:06:12] concert.

[00:06:13] So I think we need to put all our effort into that.

[00:06:17] That is where we need to go.

[00:06:19] I don't think they're mutually exclusive.

[00:06:22] I say, I, I say, I know my, my purse strings and I got money for one boy band.

[00:06:31] One day.

[00:06:35] All right.

[00:06:37] Just Johnny ready for your game.

[00:06:39] Oh yeah, I'm ready.

[00:06:42] So we are going to name our top horror movie set in high school.

[00:06:50] And then, so we each get two picks and then we will work together to rank them from one

[00:06:57] to six.

[00:06:58] You ready?

[00:06:59] Okay.

[00:07:00] So, so we can't, we can't overlap.

[00:07:02] They have to be six individuals.

[00:07:04] Okay.

[00:07:04] Okay.

[00:07:05] So have backups in the, in the shoot.

[00:07:08] Okay.

[00:07:09] But we'll let you, you get number one draft.

[00:07:12] All right.

[00:07:12] Good.

[00:07:15] So obviously scream is like my number one favorite horror movie.

[00:07:21] So scream and I'm going to be a dick and just say, I know you did last summer.

[00:07:27] Oh, why is that a dick Johnny?

[00:07:28] Cause I feel like those are like the two Bane, you know, nineties high school.

[00:07:33] Don't worry.

[00:07:35] We are well versed in other ones.

[00:07:37] So you are good.

[00:07:39] You're good.

[00:07:40] You could never be a dick Johnny.

[00:07:41] Never.

[00:07:44] I, I am going slightly outside of our timeframe.

[00:07:49] Okay.

[00:07:50] With Jennifer's body.

[00:07:51] Okay.

[00:07:52] The classic.

[00:07:54] Well, I'm going with the craft.

[00:07:56] Does that count?

[00:07:58] That counts, right?

[00:07:59] Oh yeah.

[00:07:59] Okay.

[00:08:00] Okay.

[00:08:01] Now I have a Sophie's choice.

[00:08:02] I am purposely not going to do the faculty because I feel like that's a layup.

[00:08:07] So I am going to do idle hands.

[00:08:10] Oh, that's a good one.

[00:08:12] Yeah.

[00:08:13] Yeah.

[00:08:13] Oh, it's real hard.

[00:08:17] This is tough.

[00:08:18] Yeah.

[00:08:19] Because we already know that I am not like a big or person as it is.

[00:08:28] Can't do you scream too, because that's in college.

[00:08:32] So my choices are between a scary movie because I love that, but it's not a horror.

[00:08:41] It's in the horror genre.

[00:08:44] It's adjacent.

[00:08:46] It's horror light.

[00:08:47] And it's.

[00:08:48] It's horror comedy.

[00:08:51] Damn it.

[00:08:51] It's going to count for me.

[00:08:53] I don't know.

[00:08:54] I do like the movie.

[00:08:55] You know what?

[00:08:55] I'm going to say Ginger Snaps.

[00:08:57] Because I'm very excited for us to do that one.

[00:09:00] I've never seen that one.

[00:09:01] I did like that one.

[00:09:02] Came out, I think in 2000.

[00:09:05] Nice.

[00:09:06] It has a great hallway walk scene as well.

[00:09:11] Okay.

[00:09:12] Let's rank these bad boys.

[00:09:14] I think we could all agree Scream is number one.

[00:09:19] Danielle, would you concur?

[00:09:22] I agree.

[00:09:22] Yes.

[00:09:23] With this list, 100%.

[00:09:24] Okay.

[00:09:25] Yes.

[00:09:28] So I know what you did last summer.

[00:09:30] I saw that recently and you know, it just, I mean, it didn't hit home the way it did when

[00:09:34] I was younger.

[00:09:35] I'm, I think, I know you did last summer should be on the higher.

[00:09:42] Layer later in later.

[00:09:43] Later in the list.

[00:09:44] Yeah.

[00:09:44] I think Jennifer's body.

[00:09:47] It's between Jennifer's body and the craft for me.

[00:09:51] For number two.

[00:09:52] I just appreciate the viewpoint in the voice that Jennifer's body has.

[00:09:59] Mm-hmm.

[00:10:00] And it's commentary on society and the patriarch.

[00:10:04] Yeah.

[00:10:06] So I would vote that for number two with the craft is like a very close number three.

[00:10:13] Yeah.

[00:10:14] Johnny, you good?

[00:10:15] Yeah.

[00:10:15] Yeah.

[00:10:15] I love the craft.

[00:10:17] So yeah.

[00:10:18] Top three.

[00:10:18] Oops.

[00:10:19] Number four.

[00:10:23] Let's see.

[00:10:23] We have idle hands.

[00:10:25] We have, I know what you did last summer and ginger snaps.

[00:10:29] Mm-hmm.

[00:10:31] I like idle hands.

[00:10:33] I mean, I haven't seen that in a while, but that was a fun, fun ride when I saw it, you

[00:10:37] know, back.

[00:10:38] I thought it was very silly.

[00:10:40] Jackie definitely likes it more than I do.

[00:10:42] Yeah.

[00:10:43] But it was, it was, it had, it was funny for sure.

[00:10:49] So I haven't seen disclosure.

[00:10:51] I haven't seen ginger snaps, so I'm not sure where to put that.

[00:10:54] So.

[00:10:55] So let's do idle hands.

[00:10:57] Then ginger snaps.

[00:10:59] Mainly because, you know, can't break it higher if two out of three people haven't

[00:11:03] seen it.

[00:11:04] And then I know what you did last summer because.

[00:11:09] It's something.

[00:11:11] There's a lot of eyeball acting in it.

[00:11:12] It is.

[00:11:13] Yeah.

[00:11:14] Now out of this list, where would you put the faculty?

[00:11:18] Number two.

[00:11:19] I'm sure.

[00:11:19] Really?

[00:11:21] Oh, I love the fucking faculty.

[00:11:25] It's good.

[00:11:26] I just, I feel like the nineties and two, two thousands, the movies that I grew up thinking

[00:11:30] that were horror movies are just like horror light for sure.

[00:11:35] They're definitely what I can handle.

[00:11:37] And I, I guess, you know, the fact that Robert Rodriguez was able to have cross pollinate

[00:11:45] with two different genres with sci-fi and horror was really cool.

[00:11:48] Yeah.

[00:11:49] But I don't know if I would say it's better than Jennifer's body though.

[00:11:55] That's a conundrum.

[00:11:57] All right.

[00:11:58] Well, I do have a question for all of us.

[00:12:00] Okay.

[00:12:01] Now that we rank the horror movies screen being number one, Jennifer, Jennifer's body,

[00:12:07] number two, the craft, number three, idle hands, number four, gender snaps, number five.

[00:12:11] And I know what you did last summer.

[00:12:13] Number six.

[00:12:15] Now I want you guys to tell our listeners, which horror film your high school experience,

[00:12:21] whether the plot of the movie or just the name of the movie would be like a great way

[00:12:27] to represent.

[00:12:28] Yeah.

[00:12:29] That was my high school experience.

[00:12:31] I'm going to go the fog.

[00:12:33] Yeah.

[00:12:36] I mean, I remember some of it and really you're just trying to escape it.

[00:12:42] Yeah.

[00:12:43] Very, very, very true.

[00:12:47] Yeah.

[00:12:48] Let's see.

[00:12:52] Oh, I have one.

[00:12:54] I know what it is.

[00:12:55] Ready?

[00:12:55] Ready.

[00:12:56] Get out.

[00:12:58] Yep.

[00:13:01] Especially at MSD.

[00:13:03] Yeah.

[00:13:03] My senior year, I was ready.

[00:13:06] Let me, and it wasn't just get out of college.

[00:13:08] It was get the fuck out of.

[00:13:11] Oh, another one would be wrong turn.

[00:13:13] I like that one too.

[00:13:15] Oh man, guys.

[00:13:18] The devil's rejects.

[00:13:21] I'll take that one.

[00:13:22] I want that one.

[00:13:23] The devil's rejects.

[00:13:25] That's fine.

[00:13:27] I was thinking land of the dead.

[00:13:33] That's a good one.

[00:13:35] I think cabin fever would be cool too, because like you just, you just want to get out of

[00:13:40] there.

[00:13:41] There are some people at our school at the time that the movie Willard was their plot.

[00:13:50] Or sure.

[00:13:50] Or sure.

[00:13:53] Was it me?

[00:13:54] Because I own rats?

[00:13:55] No.

[00:13:55] Probably forgot about that though.

[00:13:58] Yeah.

[00:14:08] Okay, Johnny.

[00:14:09] We're going to put you on the spot for a third time.

[00:14:12] Okay.

[00:14:13] Ready.

[00:14:14] Employee picks.

[00:14:15] So movies, they can be from any timeframe because this is your third time.

[00:14:20] So three movies that you would recommend as a blockbuster employee.

[00:14:25] Oh, good.

[00:14:27] Okay.

[00:14:27] So I'm going to stick with the horror vibe.

[00:14:30] Trick or Treat is my Halloween get started movie.

[00:14:35] Love that one.

[00:14:36] Rocky Horror Picture Show.

[00:14:40] Hmm.

[00:14:41] Last one.

[00:14:42] Freddy versus Jason.

[00:14:45] Didn't we just have?

[00:14:46] No, we had someone do Jason X.

[00:14:48] Yeah, we did.

[00:14:50] Yeah.

[00:14:51] Just love the campy horror slasher.

[00:14:55] Oh.

[00:14:56] Well, these are great.

[00:14:57] Great picks.

[00:14:58] Make sure you guys to go check us out at NoMoreLateFeast on TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube,

[00:15:04] and threads.

[00:15:06] Stay tuned as we head to Japan for The Grudge from 2004.

[00:15:13] I may hold a grudge that we have to watch this movie.

[00:15:16] And as always, be kind and rewind.

[00:15:20] And as always, be kind and rewind.
