1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:01,400 Hello. Hi. 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:08,960 For watchers, listeners, fans of unexplained realms, we have a 3 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,600 special guest. Special guests, Mr. Sinister and 4 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:18,000 Lady Gruesome, the creators of Sinister Brew Coffee. 5 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,120 Who doesn't love coffee this time of year, right all? 6 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:28,320 All time of year, yeah. Right, you guys, it's such. 7 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,200 I ordered some. The package was amazing. 8 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:36,200 It felt so personal, like personable, like just the little 9 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,720 letter that came with it, just all of it. 10 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,120 Where did this idea come from? That's actually what we're going 11 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,840 for. There's so much coffee out there 12 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,600 that anybody can have. We we take pride in what we do. 13 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,080 We do small batches. We prefer quality over quantity. 14 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,080 While we do want to grow, we still want to, you know, 15 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,560 maintain that small batch flavor that we get. 16 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,160 And Lady Gruesome ran multiple haunted attractions in Salem, 17 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:04,800 MA. So there was always a love of 18 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,280 horror there for her. One second, let me get my 19 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,560 Charger and so. And then I was in the Army for 20 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,920 10 years and the time I spent out in the field and you would 21 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,920 have your, you know, packaged meals, ready to eat. 22 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:24,040 Mr. ES and the little packets of instant coffee and just so 23 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,200 terrible or if you were lucky enough that field chow they 24 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,960 would bring in, you know, a big jug of coffee made at chow hall, 25 00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:32,920 which was just as terrible. So, you know, we really kind of 26 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,320 took the two loaves of wheat of everything we had together. 27 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,880 We realized we were spending a lot of money out buying coffee, 28 00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:41,760 you know, Dunkin' Donuts, Starbucks, any other local shop 29 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,480 that we go could go to. And we realized we want to try 30 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,600 to do it ourselves. We honestly started just in our 31 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,680 kitchen with a cast iron skillet and, you know, stirring the 32 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:55,400 beans for 1520 minutes in them. You know, we rent space now at 33 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,480 another grocery, but we did just buy our first roaster for 34 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,200 ourselves. So right now when we roast, we 35 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,000 still do small batches, but it's kind of in the middle of the 36 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,400 night, you know, the other grocery rinse out their space 37 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,440 when they're not using it. So we're, we're down, you know, 38 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,960 an hour away in another town roasting beans and then bringing 39 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,400 them back to, to finish up the process here with the flavoring. 40 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,360 And we, we didn't really want to have, you know, just, you know, 41 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,520 buy our coffee, things go away. We wanted to make it personal. 42 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,040 We don't just sell coffee. We invite people into the 43 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,760 sinister family. Absolutely. 44 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,360 That's what we go for with the letters that we write. 45 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,920 You know, they, I, I do all the writing myself. 46 00:02:32,920 --> 00:02:37,920 So it's AI do take time out. It's a way for me to get into 47 00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:41,000 the kind of my creative side that I didn't necessarily have 48 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,320 access to when I was younger and in the military. 49 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,080 And Lady Gruesome Jenny, she, she does the art work for us. 50 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,400 And it literally is just the two of us. 51 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,600 So, you know, we're trying to expand our sinister family and 52 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,720 we want to get the word out there that it's not just coffee. 53 00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,360 It's more than coffee. It's an experience. 54 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,960 It is, it really is. Like I said, the letter was was 55 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,680 fun to read, very personable. But if you're a horror fan or 56 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,880 just spooky fan in general, it's it's combining like your 57 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,640 favorite things, coffee and scary stuff, myths, legends. 58 00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:19,480 You guys have covered pretty much all of the categories there 59 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:24,240 was we have.

Cryptid line actually with the 63 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,400 Cryptid line where I'm starting to travel to different places 64 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,600 to. We were just in West Virginia a 65 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,720 couple weeks ago as where Mothman originated in West 66 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:49,480 Virginia growing up there. So we went to Point Pleasant and 67 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,480 to Blairstown or not Blairstown, I'm sorry, flat, but Flatwoods 68 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:54,720 for the Flatwoods Monster and Mothman. 69 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,080 We went to Mothman Museum. We went to the Flatwoods Museum 70 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,840 and Mothman Museum is now carrying us as their coffee 71 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,880 shop.

And you know, we again, it's, 79 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,560 we're all a family. So we did that. 80 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,280 We, we came up back up through Jersey and we stopped at 81 00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:38,680 Blairstown Diner, which was the, one of the scenes filmed from 82 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,720 Friday the 13th movie.

That's that's awesome. 98 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:34,560 I know you guys are focusing right now on your, what is it, 99 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:40,040 haunted horror days. This photo up on the screen for 100 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,040 listeners. You guys can go over to their 101 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:46,720 website, sinisterbrew.com and, and see these images for their 102 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,440 coffee. I'm going to put that up here in 103 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:55,840 the bottom, so, But yeah, this is awesome Christmas horror. 104 00:05:55,840 --> 00:05:58,960 I love it. How did that come to be? 105 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,960 So everyone knows, you know, Christmas, Santa Claus, not 106 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,840 everyone knows about Krampus, which is the Santa, he punishes 107 00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:10,560 the the naughty children. And so we just thought we'd have 108 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,760 some fun with it. We have when we first started 109 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,040 out, we had our spiced eggnog, which was just depiction of 110 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,000 Santa and Krampus. That was the first like few 111 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,520 months that we were in business. We just celebrated our first 112 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:26,040 year in October, October 23rd. So last year at this time we 113 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,040 were kind of gearing up, trying to figure out what we were going 114 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,520 to offer. And we didn't have as many 115 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,840 flavors as we do now. We have about 35 now and 116 00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:34,000 counting. But we had our spiced eggnog, 117 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,160 which seemed to do well this year because we kind of refined 118 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,360 our artwork and our riding and our packaging. 119 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,680 We're reintroducing them. We've reformulated the flavors a 120 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,840 little bit. Some people will be able to 121 00:06:44,840 --> 00:06:48,080 notice and we're kind of having Santa and Krampus square off 122 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,440 with each other. So every every Saturday in 123 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,240 November we're going to be introducing new flavors for our 124 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:57,400 Haunted Horror days. This past Saturday we just 125 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,760 introduced reintroduced our spiced eggnog and peppermint 126 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,440 bark. So originally the peppermint 127 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:08,040 bark was a peppermint werewolf. We kind of went with the Yeti 128 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:12,280 this time and again reformulating the the flavoring 129 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,120 and reintroducing a new character. 130 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,680 We're introducing a new character and so and the next 131 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,720 next Saturday, we have a couple things coming out. 132 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,200 We don't really want to get into it a whole lot. 133 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,520 We want people to be excited when it does come out, but we 134 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,480 will certainly announce it. But again, just look forward to 135 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,800 Santa and Cramp is kind of squaring off with each other. 136 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,840 That is amazing. I can't wait to see all of the 137 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,600 horror days stuff. And so I, I had someone was 138 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,760 asking, they'd come over and they saw my, my coffee from you 139 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,320 guys and they're like, can we send that as like a gift? 140 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,200 And I'm like, that's interesting question. 141 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,800 So say I ordered it as a gift and wanted to send it to 142 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,480 someone, Would the letter be exclusive to them or me? 143 00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,280 How would that work? On your so most likely because 144 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,400 we're we're, we are launching a, a gift line. 145 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,960 I I don't want to say the line. We're going to be doing like 146 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,560 sinister swag type. You can, you can order it and 147 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:10,720 you can send it to somebody else. 148 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,080 We can send it to them directly. So it would be, the letter would 149 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,120 be just addressed to them. But if we sent it to you and but 150 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,920 it was for a gift for someone else in your area that you were 151 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,840 going to be giving, you would get a letter as well. 152 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,240 We want to kind of represent everybody that's involved. 153 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,160 And so we have some new mugs coming out. 154 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,080 We're looking at possibly getting T-shirts. 155 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,520 We don't know if those will be ready yet, but we are doing our 156 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,360 sinister suites. We're introducing sinister 157 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,520 suites where we're going to have hot cocoa and flavored espresso 158 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,520 beans, chocolate flavored espresso beans and some 159 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,240 different things.

And if it's a we, everywhere we 182 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,880 go, where we visit a museum, we always get a pen. 183 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,120 I have a hat that I got in Germany when we were over there 184 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,800 last in I, I have them all the pins adorned on my hat. 185 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:08,440 So it's kind of a fun little thing. 186 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,800 That's cool, I noticed I grabbed this. 187 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,920 There's a few mugs on your website. 188 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,800 The website is scrolling across the bottom of the screen right 189 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:23,000 now, listeners, It's sinister brewcoffee.com. 190 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,800 So if you don't see it, you hear it. 191 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:30,040 The the one mug in the middle reminds me of the one coffee 192 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,720 that I did get from you guys. It's the the Edgar Allan Poe, 193 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,200 and it was a chocolate flavor rose. 194 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:40,400 Death by chocolate, yes. Oh my God, it was amazing. 195 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,880 Made my whole house smell so amazing and then just just the 196 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,680 taste of it, like you could just drink it straight and not have 197 00:10:48,680 --> 00:10:51,920 to add anything to it and it's it's got such an amazing flavour 198 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:53,280 so. That was one of our first 199 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,040 flavours that we introduced and we actually, we take a request 200 00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,160 from our customers as well if there's a flavour they're 201 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,720 looking for that we don't carry. We have the ability to make 202 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,280 pretty much any flavour combination. 203 00:11:05,560 --> 00:11:11,640 Our one of our first customers, Jim from horror movies and shit, 204 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,840 he suggested BlackBerry, he knows BlackBerry and we were 205 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,480 able to make that into a coffee or BlackBerry beast and it's one 206 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:19,680 of our biggest sellers right now. 207 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:27,440 And his sister asked for black walnut and we did walnut Wendigo 208 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,520 and wicked walnut Wendigo and that became a pretty good seller 209 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,000 as well. So, you know, we get a lot of 210 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,200 good suggestions and, you know, it's fun for us, you know, get 211 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,400 in the kitchen, kind of mix it up a bit. 212 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,360 How did you guys learn like to do that? 213 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,680 Like where would you, where did you even start? 214 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:50,280 I mean, I would know nothing about making coffee or roasting 215 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,560 beans. Like where did that come for 216 00:11:52,680 --> 00:11:54,400 from? So initially we started just 217 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,520 YouTube videos. You get some information there, 218 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,720 you get kind of it. It is quite a process and it can 219 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,760 get pretty boring, you know, watching YouTube after YouTube 220 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,720 after YouTube videos on how to. But honestly, the roasters that 221 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,560 we work with that allow us to rent property or their roasters 222 00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:16,880 from them, tons of insight. You know, they were willing to 223 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:21,520 share their sources for not only the green coffee beans, but the 224 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,000 the where they got their flavor oils and you know, they're 225 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,040 great. They, they have, you know, not 226 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,040 as many flavors as us, but they have a terrific product. 227 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,520 And they honestly were, that's a great community to a coffee, the 228 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,280 coffee community, you know, if you have knowledge to share it. 229 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:38,840 And they were willing to share it. 230 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,520 And we kind of took it a step further than what they were 231 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:42,960 doing. And it's terrific. 232 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,960 Yeah. Just a lot of bad coffee. 233 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,600 Wasted trial. Yeah. 234 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,880 So we, we tried one, We both used to work for the post office 235 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,760 and one of Lady Gruesome's employees asked for a bacon 236 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,840 flavored coffee. And we worked on it for about a 237 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:05,080 month and it just, there was no helping that it was a flavor to 238 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,640 add to, you know, an already acidic beverage. 239 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,080 So it. Didn't really work out for us, 240 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,480 but yeah, so it's just trial and error. 241 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,400 You know, we, we spent a lot of our own money. 242 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,720 It is just the two of us. We we spent all of our our own 243 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,640 money just kind of pushing through it. 244 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,440 We haven't done any loans with our small business loans or 245 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:25,960 anything like that. We're, we're doing it all day at 246 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,400 a time and we don't want to, you know, be in debt our first year, 247 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,240 you know, no, definitely we're doing well enough that we can 248 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,640 actually, we both haven't left the post office. 249 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,400 We're doing this full time and we just kind of want to get as 250 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,600 many people to join our sinister family as possible. 251 00:13:41,680 --> 00:13:43,520 Well, I'm me. I'm in there. 252 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,600 I love it. I'm actually already making my 253 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,320 list. I'm gonna like, I have a couple 254 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,280 adult kids. So I'm like, you're getting this 255 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,400 copy, you're getting that 'cause they're all into the horror 256 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,480 stuff too. So yeah, I I think it's 257 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,680 fantastic for gifts all year round too. 258 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,560 And we are, we like people to know also that we do whole bean 259 00:14:03,560 --> 00:14:06,880 or ground and we can do different grinds depending on 260 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,240 how you're going to be brewing it. 261 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,240 For instance, if you're using a a reusable K-Cup, it's a 262 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,840 different grind than if you're doing a pour over or a electric 263 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,760 kettle, you know, So if people have a preference the way they 264 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,880 want to ground, they can certainly send us a message and 265 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,080 we can do that for them as well. That's awesome. 266 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,640 You said K-Cup and that reminded me I grabbed this. 267 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,280 You guys can get your own Mr. Brew reusable K-Cup, which 268 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:35,400 that's really awesome. I would, I'm definitely going to 269 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,280 look into that because I have a, you know, Keurig in my office 270 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,320 and rather than brew a whole pot, it'd just be nice to have 271 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,200 that. We did look at doing the actual 272 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,280 disposable K cups. One for us was, you know, we try 273 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:52,440 to be environmentally friendly and it does a lot of disposable 274 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,960 plastic or non disposable plastic thrown in the garbage. 275 00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:00,560 So the reusable ones are great and just the cost alone of 276 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,720 having the machine to make the K cups was in the thousands of 277 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,800 dollars I think like started at $5000. 278 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,080 And Oh yeah, no. That's so, you know, this was a 279 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,240 very easy way. We actually don't make any money 280 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,680 off of the K cups. We buy them and bought, we buy 281 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,120 them for what we pay for them and just to encourage people to, 282 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,800 you know, use the reusable as opposed to disposable. 283 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,680 Because everyone likes a different kind of coffee. 284 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,320 A great yeah. Coffee. 285 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,720 I know I drink my coffee very strong. 286 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,320 Do they have your logo or anything on the K-Cup? 287 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,000 No, no, just, but just. Yeah, just. 288 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:38,320 Just very basic reusable and going back to what Lady Gruesome 289 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:43,920 said, she, she is very dark, very strong coffee and no cream. 290 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:48,160 And I am the exact opposite. I love coffee and even if it's 291 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,880 flavored, I add a matching Creamer to it. 292 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,320 One of our one of my favorite coffees that we have is 293 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,200 Pistachio Serpi Pistachios Private Reserve. 294 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,640 And I actually buy a pistachio Creamer to go with it and it's 295 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,960 just, it's terrific. I love it. 296 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:04,400 Wow. That's amazing. 297 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,840 Yeah. I, I, I found you guys. 298 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:12,240 And then it obviously stood out to me because my show is all 299 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:16,040 about aliens, myths, some true crime, but mostly just all the 300 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:20,160 different monsters. And suddenly it's like you guys 301 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,320 kind of just blew up overnight. Like maybe it was just me, but I 302 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,720 start seeing you everywhere. So I was there anything that 303 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,160 that you think led to that that helped push you guys out there a 304 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,400 little bit more? Just just the rest of the 305 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,840 sinister family. I mean, like I said, we most of 306 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,000 our stuff is on in their Instagram or, or TikTok. 307 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,480 The Hortak community has been terrific. 308 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,000 You know, a lot of collaborations we've done. 309 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:49,240 We love helping others that and in turn they love to help us and 310 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,520 it helps that we have a decent product for sure. 311 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:57,520 But it, we, we have ebbs and, and highs and lows. 312 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,680 We, we sell a lot at one point and then, you know, for a while 313 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,560 we don't sell any. We have customers that come back 314 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,200 every week and we have customers that are once a quarter, but it 315 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,280 doesn't matter how much or how often they order. 316 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,040 We just love that they keep coming back to us. 317 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,760 We we just like that we're putting out a product that 318 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:21,240 people enjoy. Where does your love for horror 319 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,040 come from? You guys have any special like 320 00:17:24,599 --> 00:17:26,640 was it childhood? Was it adulthood? 321 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,640 Where? Where did your love of all 322 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,080 things horror come from? Well, for me personally, I just 323 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,360 remember being a kid and having nightmares and I actually look 324 00:17:36,360 --> 00:17:39,440 forward to them. I if to me it was like a fun 325 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:43,680 interactive scary movie and I don't get scared easily. 326 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,400 So when I do it's, it's it's fun for me. 327 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,800 We, we both love jump scare movies where we're not expecting 328 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:55,720 it before Lady Gruesome, I think most of your life, right? 329 00:17:55,840 --> 00:18:00,080 Yep. So she was she was raised in 330 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,640 Salem, Mass. Oh wow. 331 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,760 So she was around it her whole life, so. 332 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,160 We're working in haunted houses when I was 16. 333 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,320 That's amazing. Yeah, up until just six years 334 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:11,920 ago, I had a haunted house constantly. 335 00:18:12,120 --> 00:18:14,480 Yeah, we she actually had some good contacts. 336 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,480 Kane Hotter is one of them. We were looking forward to 337 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,800 actually. It's too bad that happened. 338 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:24,520 Tony Todd that he passed away recently and we were, she knows 339 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:25,760 him as well. We were going to reach out to 340 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,280 him to have him do what kind of a voice over for us. 341 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,600 And it was just it's sad that he passed away. 342 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,680 But, you know, we have a lot of like, you know, when we were 343 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,400 growing up in the 80s, it was, you know, Friday 13th, it was, 344 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,080 you know, Maryland on Elm Street. 345 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,360 You know, any new horror movie that came out, you kind of went 346 00:18:43,360 --> 00:18:45,160 and watched it. Handyman was my favorite. 347 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,880 I remember I have a twin sister. I remember her and I go in to 348 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,160 see it. And we were both shaking for a 349 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:55,320 bit, but in a fun way, you know? Yeah, I'm, I'm 70s born 80s kid. 350 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,320 So I got it. And I think that era, like 351 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:03,160 horror between the late 70s and and early 80s, horror evolves 352 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:09,360 quickly and nothing can touch these days what we experienced 353 00:19:09,360 --> 00:19:12,400 back then like Friday the 13th, you know, Michael Myers, all 354 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,760 that new horror is great. I mean, I watch it. 355 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,960 I love some Blumhouse but I mean nothing compares to the 80s. 356 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,160 So we actually even go back to old Universal Monsters, 357 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:27,800 Frankenstein and where and it's fun to watch something that's 358 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,840 older and the practical effects that they had as opposed to the 359 00:19:31,360 --> 00:19:35,280 CGI they have now. Just how they were one of my 360 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,760 favorite movies and it's a hit or miss for people, but America, 361 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:42,920 Werewolf in London and to me, the the transformation scene was 362 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,440 so good and it was a practical effect. 363 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,840 It wasn't done with computers. It was, you know, actually 364 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,840 costumed and you know, people work hours over it. 365 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,120 It was it was awesome to me. And that's quite a mess. 366 00:19:54,120 --> 00:19:56,040 I think that we're missing out on a lot of practical stuff 367 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,720 these days because everybody just falls back on CGI. 368 00:19:59,120 --> 00:20:02,440 Yeah, for sure. I though I did, I, I went with 369 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,520 all of my kids, which is a rare event. 370 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,040 Most of them are results at this point. 371 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:10,880 We went to Beetlejuice together, this new one and we're I was 372 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,640 just great. It was a great film. 373 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:18,320 But then I saw that like the scene where Winona Ryder expels 374 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,640 Beetlejuice's baby, it was not CGI. 375 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,800 They actually had her all taped up in strings and I. 376 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,440 Yeah, it's kind of reminiscent of, you know, how the 80s horror 377 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,120 movies used to do seventies, 80s used to do it. 378 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,320 It's so hard. One of the kings of yeah, 379 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,360 practical Tim Burton, just the practical effects that he's 380 00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:39,400 always used in his stuff was has always been great. 381 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,400 But yeah, it's it's nice to know that there are people that have 382 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,800 that much talent and we always say we'll watch stuff and we're 383 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:50,000 like, why can't I have talent? Yeah, we have talent with the 384 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,280 office, local guests, but it's yeah, we look at people and just 385 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:54,400 what they're able to come up with. 386 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,360 It's amazing, you know, how their brain works. 387 00:20:58,360 --> 00:21:03,640 So but you know, we all have our place in horror. 388 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:08,720 I mean, you guys are providing warm goodness, you know, So 389 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,560 while people listen to my podcast Hintend, they can be 390 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,840 drinking sinister brew coffees, you know? 391 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,880 Yes, we, we hope for everyone to enjoy Sinister Brew. 392 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,680 Yeah, we're looking to, like I said, we want to stay small 393 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,000 batch, but we want to get big enough to where we can have a 394 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,040 lot of people working for us that will continue small batch 395 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,960 process. And, you know, we want to be 396 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,880 able to offer just a great coffee at a competitive price 397 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,280 that has a little bit of a story with it. 398 00:21:33,360 --> 00:21:36,960 Yeah, definitely. I think it's cool you guys get 399 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,840 to go to the different museums. I think the East Coast has so 400 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:45,720 much more mythical legends, different stuff than the West 401 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,080 Coast. I'm on the West Coast, so 402 00:21:47,120 --> 00:21:50,720 there's not a lot like Mothman comes from over there and 403 00:21:51,120 --> 00:21:53,240 there's been a lot out here. It's weird. 404 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,880 You guys have Bigfoot, so you know, we'll, we'll be fair with 405 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,680 that. Well, we actually last time. 406 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,840 Abduction stories, my work. Oh yeah, the. 407 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,360 Other day, we actually just found out last night that there 408 00:22:04,360 --> 00:22:08,680 was an Anne Rice Vampire Masquerade Ball that happens 409 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:15,080 every year in New Orleans. And it was Victorian style 410 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:19,040 clothing, Vampire Masquerade, and that's been going on since 411 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,520 1988. We had no idea. 412 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,840 So we're actually we're looking forward to maybe doing something 413 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,320 like that next year. Yeah, that would be awesome. 414 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:30,360 I just did an episode on New Orleans vampires, the Carter 415 00:22:30,360 --> 00:22:34,640 Brothers. That would be a really good line 416 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,000 for you guys. Vampires like the New Orleans, 417 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,800 New Orleans style vampires, you know, So I'm kind of a cool 418 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,040 brand. And that's what we're we want to 419 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,560 get back to some more of the more classic monsters. 420 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,800 Our big thing is we don't want to do anything that's 421 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,200 commercialized. We don't, we don't want to touch 422 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,880 any of the, you know, Friday 13th stuff. 423 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,640 I mean, we might come close to some stuff, but we don't want to 424 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:58,800 go over that copyright line. We kind. 425 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,600 Of like to deal. With our own stuff and I love 426 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,320 writing the back stories for each of our characters. 427 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,480 I'm hoping in the future to take all the characters that we have. 428 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,440 I've started it, I've got about 4 chapters of it of a graphic 429 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,360 novel of how the characters come together to make Sinister brew 430 00:23:14,360 --> 00:23:18,040 coffee. So we've gotten, I've gotten 431 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,000 away from it just because the business has been picking up and 432 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,840 we have a lot going on. But I'd like to get to a point 433 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,240 where I get back to that and we can have like a like a small 434 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,480 graphic novel that we sell on our our website as well. 435 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,960 That would be really cool. That'd be cool. 436 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,120 Are there any other places other than what you mentioned that you 437 00:23:35,120 --> 00:23:38,880 can physically get the coffee like or is it just pretty much 438 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,720 mostly online? No. 439 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,320 If you live in New Hampshire, we are in four grocery stores. 440 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:48,120 There's Sully's Grocery store in both Allenstown and Goffstown. 441 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,280 Wolfeboro, NH has a Harvest Market, we're sold there. 442 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,920 And Vista Foods in Laconia and New Hampshire, we're sold there 443 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:56,800 as well. OK. 444 00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,320 Nice. And then Blairstown Diner, 445 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,920 you'll be able to, I think they're not going to sell the 446 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,320 coffee that we've made a special label for them. 447 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,360 They're going to serve the coffee, but I don't think like 448 00:24:08,360 --> 00:24:12,080 bags of it. And then Moth Mothman Museum in 449 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,080 Point Pleasant, you can certainly pick them up there as 450 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,080 well. That's awesome. 451 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,640 Maybe someday you guys can branch out towards the West 452 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,880 Coast, You never know. We're my sister. 453 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,480 Once we we start the sinister seekers, we will be doing a lot 454 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:28,480 of travelling. You know, we're going to be 455 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,680 coming out West. And you know, what we want to do 456 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,480 is anybody that is part of the sinister family, when we're, if 457 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,080 we're in their area, invite them to come along with us on 458 00:24:36,360 --> 00:24:39,440 whatever we're doing, you know, and kind of have an adventure 459 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,040 together. Pick me, I would come along. 460 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,960 For. Sure, I've been on an. 461 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,960 Adventure in a while, moving to Oregon and so that would give us 462 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,360 an opportunity to go out there and, you know, do some of the 463 00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:53,760 Bigfoot lore and things like that and that we'd love to go 464 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,960 down the West Coast where we're all about adventure and and 465 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,640 travel. So if we can do it while 466 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,280 working, awesome. Yeah, for sure. 467 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,480 That's the way to do it. Yeah. 468 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,760 I'm still just taken by the haunted horror days. 469 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,560 I can't wait to get some of this. 470 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,280 What are the different flavors you have in the haunted wordies? 471 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,720 I didn't grab some of those photos, but maybe you can. 472 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:22,400 We just did the peppermint bark and the spiced egg mug I. 473 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,680 We can mention some of the names we're coming up with, but we 474 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:26,800 won't necessarily tell you what the flavors are just yet. 475 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,160 Gingerbread Mansions also out as our gingerbread cookie flavored. 476 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,720 We have Santa's Naughty Batch coming out, not going to 477 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,840 disclose the flavour just yet. And we have a Krampus flavour 478 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,960 coming out as well that's going to have a little bit more of a 479 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,040 kick to it than, you know, what Santa might have. 480 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,040 And then we have some elves that are, we're going to be doing 481 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:53,120 like a kind of a evil elf type, elf on the shelf type thing. 482 00:25:53,360 --> 00:25:55,000 Yeah, they're little pictures of them. 483 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,840 That's creepy. So and then we also have our 484 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,920 blood orange Countess Bathory coming out. 485 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:06,800 Countess Bathory was a real person who bathed and drank her 486 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,440 servant's blood thinking that. And so we kind of did an homage 487 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,680 to her and we have a a blood orange coming out that will be 488 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,720 represented in the haunted horror days because for some 489 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,080 reason for me, when I was growing up, citrus was always a 490 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,720 part of the holidays you. Know yes it were it. 491 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,280 Is, you know, you get like the chocolate orange under the, 492 00:26:24,360 --> 00:26:28,480 there's always orange involved. So our, our blood orange flavour 493 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,160 should be pretty good. We've been working on it for a 494 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:32,520 few months. That's one of our harder 495 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,080 flavours to get going, but it's it's coming along pretty good. 496 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:40,120 That works also for the clown lovers out there. 497 00:26:40,120 --> 00:26:44,320 I definitely want to try some of this one banana split banana nut 498 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,200 coffee. That looks amazing. 499 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,400 They said banana bread. Yeah, she she was one of our 500 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,320 first as well. She's probably one of our our 501 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,320 favorite characters. OK, does she have a name? 502 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,520 Or Yep, and a banana. Oh, cute. 503 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,240 OK, so for all the clown lovers out there. 504 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:07,040 And then we have Sir Hazelnut and we have Magnus's, Magnus's 505 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:11,080 mighty brew, which is got additional caffeine added to it. 506 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,480 It is our adult roast, more caffeine and we'll be doing a 507 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,040 another pumpkin flavor as well. We're so with pumpkin spice is 508 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:22,360 huge during Halloween and and Thanksgiving. 509 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,920 But you know, once you get into after Thanksgiving, there is 510 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:30,000 more of a mellow feel to it. You have pumpkin pie and and 511 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,840 things like that. So we're, we're going to keep 512 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:34,640 some of the pumpkin stuff that we have, but we're going to 513 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,760 reformulate it into a pumpkin's last slice. 514 00:27:37,120 --> 00:27:39,800 And it's going to be more of a, a, more of a creamy pumpkin 515 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,760 flavor as opposed to the spice. So that'll be coming out as 516 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,280 well. That's awesome. 517 00:27:46,120 --> 00:27:48,560 I think for me, during the holidays, I prefer like the 518 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,800 peppermint and mocha kind of flavors. 519 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,680 So. But yeah, Pumpkin stays pretty 520 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,000 relevant I think, even through December mostly so. 521 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,560 Yeah, we don't want to have it year round. 522 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,120 Some people have suggested that. I just think they would lose its 523 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,080 its more the the people wouldn't want it as much if they could 524 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,560 get it all the time. I think people get excited like 525 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,800 August, end of August, you're like pumpkin spice, you know? 526 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:18,480 So yeah, I mean it's gearing up. Do you find that you're doing 527 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,600 anything different in the summertime like more fruity type 528 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,640 flavors or anything that's different than the the holidays? 529 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:29,240 Yeah, so in New England, I'm sure across the United States 530 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,720 it's similar, but iced coffee rains around here. 531 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:37,040 So we once we try to come up with flavors that are suitable 532 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,920 for a good iced coffee. So we do a lot of the Berry 533 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,200 flavors. We are trying to do what we have 534 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:47,040 our BlackBerry, we have our blueberry, we have an apple 535 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,520 flavour. We've toyed with a few different 536 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,000 variations of it. I think we're going to kind of 537 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,240 make it a permanent. We just haven't found, you know, 538 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:58,240 the right flavor for it yet. It will be apple something we 539 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:02,360 during the 4th of July we had our apple anarchy and it was 540 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,600 kind of a more of a apple pie flavor. 541 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,040 And then we'll have our scarecrow sinister cider, which 542 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:09,880 is a apple cider doughnut type flavor. 543 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,640 So we're going to, in the summertime, we do a lot of the 544 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,640 fruitier flavors. The banana sells really well, 545 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,440 BlackBerry, blueberry. We're looking at doing maybe a 546 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:26,560 chocolate cordial type flavor that would be kind of maybe more 547 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,800 of a fall flavour. But yeah, we we're always 548 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:29,960 experimenting with different things. 549 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,920 We have people asking us for different flavours all the time. 550 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,760 We did do a a special peanut, chocolate peanut butter flavour 551 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,120 for one of the horror talk creators that sadly passed. 552 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:44,880 We donated, we created a flavour and label and donated the 10 lbs 553 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:49,800 of the coffee to his sister to auction off so they could have 554 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,280 some funding for, you know, final expenses and things like 555 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,360 that. And so we do private labels. 556 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:59,520 Well, if people want a specific flavor or they want to do 557 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,960 something for themselves that we create a label for them, we 558 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,160 certainly do that as well. Maybe some unexplained ROMs? 559 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,240 Yeah, no, maybe. I saw that on your website, so 560 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:11,880 maybe we can chat about that later, yeah. 561 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,880 Absolutely. And explain Realm's flavor 562 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,640 produced by Sinister Brew. That'd be kind of fun. 563 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,040 Probably the mystery flavor so no one knows until they get it. 564 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,560 Exactly. That would be kind of fun. 565 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:24,960 Yeah, maybe look forward to that guys. 566 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:29,760 We'll see. So I don't know, I just, you 567 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,880 guys are awesome. Your eye-catching, the flavors 568 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:35,960 are amazing. I personally have tasted at 569 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:40,920 least three of them now. So anything else you want people 570 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,200 to know? I mean, anything else you want 571 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,760 to actually? Yeah, we, we just want people to 572 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:51,520 know how grateful we we are.

I've never seen it. 653 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:52,320 I'm. I'm never. 654 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,800 Seen it? No, I read the book when I was 655 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:58,360 like 13 and it scared the hell you know what out of me and I 656 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,680 have never watched the movie so. Otter. 657 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:02,680 We named our daughter after extras. 658 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:07,080 Her name is Carolyn Poltergeist. I'm sorry, Poltergeist. 659 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:07,800 Yeah. Yes. 660 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,520 Exorcist though was great. Her name was gonna be Reagan. 661 00:35:10,720 --> 00:35:13,320 Yeah, we looked at Reagan and then we decided on on Carolyn. 662 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,640 But Exorcist is great just because again, the practical 663 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:20,160 effects, it's good to read some of like the stuff that happens. 664 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,000 Like I think that there was something that happened that the 665 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,040 character playing or the the actor playing Reagan actually 666 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:29,720 Linda Blair got really sick from some of the stuff that was 667 00:35:29,720 --> 00:35:32,920 happening and she actually got really scared herself even doing 668 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,120 the movie. So it it's good to see read that 669 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,440 little trivia, you know, type stuff. 670 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:42,640 Yeah, the Poltergeist movies, I think that those were definitely 671 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,280 some of my favorites. Great stuff. 672 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:49,920 But what what happened to the cast outside of the filming was 673 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,160 even more terrifying than the movies. 674 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,360 I just read something again about one of the daughters, not 675 00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,800 the Caroline character but the other one, and she was brutally 676 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:03,280 murdered by her own boyfriend right outside of her home during 677 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,360 the time they were filming or right after filming. 678 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,760 Just crazy stuff to each of those cast members. 679 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:14,920 The the they put themselves in a movie that sometimes people take 680 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:16,760 as real. I don't know if that was the 681 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,480 situation, but there's there seems to be some sort of curse 682 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,240 around that whole series of the Oh yeah. 683 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,840 I don't are are any of those cast members still alive? 684 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,520 I don't think any of them are alive anymore, yeah. 685 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:30,800 Craig T Nelson, still alive. He played the father. 686 00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:34,320 Yeah, that's right. Other than that, though, I think 687 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,160 something happened to each one of them. 688 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:41,160 So crazy, crazy stuff. But so both of your favorite is 689 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,920 The Exorcist. That's both of your yes it's 690 00:36:44,720 --> 00:36:47,120 just we were both young when we first saw it. 691 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,680 It's just it's one of those movies that's kind of been 692 00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:53,400 ingrained and I'm. I'm going to have to find enlist 693 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,640 someone to come hold my hand to watch it. 694 00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,600 The book terrified. The shades open. 695 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,200 Right middle of the day, all the doors, windows open. 696 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,600 Yeah. No, the the book was way more 697 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,200 terrifying than anything I've ever read. 698 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:12,520 So I was feared that the movie would be the same. 699 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:14,200 But a lot of people are saying it's not. 700 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,880 So maybe I won't be as scared. I don't know. 701 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:24,320 Oh, are you guys there? I think we froze. 702 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,560 OK, I'll edit that out. We'll fix it. 703 00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:42,440 Anyway, before I anything else that we want to talk about, I 704 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,240 can add it all this out, I'll cut it out. 705 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,720 No, I think it is actually when I feel like I talked too much 706 00:37:48,720 --> 00:37:50,400 actually.
