The Dark Side of Disney: Disney Villains as Horror Icons

You guys like Disney? Yeah. A couple people, but we are horror fans, right? Okay, so here's the thing. I love horror, but I also love Disney. I've recently learned that I am a dank. Disney adult, no kids.

Oh no.

I celebrate Halloween year round and I go to Disneyland year-round. So I came up I was on an elbow the other day. And I came up with this idea, this idea. I'm like, wait a minute. I want to see a crossover series where iconic Disney characters play iconic killers in different horror films. Go with me on this one. I think the obvious would be Captain Hook would be the hooked killer from I know what he did last summer. Easy! Michael Myers would obviously be Elsa from Frozen. He won't let it go, right? But then I think of the most perfect, this is my favorite one. I think that Corilla Deville would be the most perfect Buffalo Bill from Science Lands. She shows up in her donation skin suit. She's like, Anita, done it. Would you fuck me? I fuck me.

This is our first episode of 2026, which is kind of amazing, but don't you have a show coming up at the improv this month? Oh my god, what a coincidence.

I do. January 16th at the Hollywood Improv is the first live Hornet of the year. Oh my gosh, B, did I did I not tell you that we're doing Disney villains night?

This is crazy. Wow. Look, you know, I'm gonna quote Buffy Summers here. Like, when do I not? She says there's two things she doesn't believe in coincidence and leprechauns. And we're just there's there's too many things tonight for this to be coincidence.

Welcome to Horror Nerd, the the podcast.

Oh hey, I love your shirt, friend. That's fun.

Isn't that crazy? I love your shirt, friend. I think rep Ursula today. By the way, if you hear it a a weird like banging, it's probably just my cats knocking on the door because they cannot handle. It's just you know what? It's Lucifer from Cinderella. Definitely Lucifer. Cannot handle your door.

Like like ghosts, right? Can't handle closed doors. That's why they're always opening them and closing them and banging and everything.

My tabby does know how to open doors, actually. She she has figured out how to try to turn a handle. They're smart. Tabbies are smart. No, they definitely are.

I had a I had a tabby named Simba. My first cat. Hakuna matada. Well, I got him the year the Lion King came out.

Yeah, I'm sure everyone named their cat Simba or Nala.

I personally thought I was a big sick. I'm sorry.

I would have gone with Sarabi, the less common name and such a pretty name.

That's a good name, but it was a boy cat. And he was big and orange, and he ended up uh getting really sick when he got older. And he was like a fat orange cat. He should have been Garfield, really, but it was the year of the Lion King, so I named him Simba. And then as he got older, he got really sick and he lost a bunch of weight, so we started calling him Slimba.

Gosh.

Same, right? I'll send you pictures. He's real cute. And then we got another cat who is little and gray, and Simba hated him at first, and then they became best friends, and his name was Bonsai.

Um oh gosh, Bonsai. Yeah, well the hyenas, I'm I'm kind of obsessed with actual hyenas. I think they're like wildly misunderstood, and they're just they're beautiful creatures. Um, I finally got to to see one like in person uh when I was out on a gig in Arizona, and I was like, I cried. I was like, they're so beautiful, I love them, and they're so misunderstood. Um, but I've always I've always loved that. Wait a minute, have I showed you wait, wait a minute. I'm sorry. Is that where are you? Can you see? Is that not Ed on my elbow saluting? Yeah, there's Ed. You see him? There's Ed right there. The other hit scar scowling. I put Scar and Michael Myers together because it just made sense.

Yeah, yeah. So there's there's a lot of Disney stuff happening here. Look at your shirt. You have Disneyland Blossom and Jetsum. I'm wearing a Disneyland Paris t-shirt that I got with our editor back in 2019. Isn't that weird? Are you smelling a theme brewing? I think so, but you know what? Let me let me consult our uh what we're gonna riff on today. I have I have a Mickey Mouse jack-o'-lantern mug here, and I'm gonna do what you do at the live shows. I'm gonna pull something out and we're gonna see what we're talking about today. Okay, do it. Let's see.

That's so weird. I can't believe you happen to have a Disney pumpkin mug. That's so weird.

I know, that is really weird. And you're wearing that, and I'm wearing this. But you know, we're great minds, right? Let's see. Yeah. Let's see what we've got. Disney villains. Oh my gosh. Isn't that weird? And look at your tattoos.

Disney villains, your shirt. Why is this on my kitchen table? I don't normally have a scar figurine. I just happened to put it here um next to my chernibog. That's so we why I love that you have a chernobog.

Why wouldn't you have one? You have to do that.

Well, also, okay, let's just talk about tattoos because this is my like first like big piece and probably one of my favorites. I'm obsessed with Chernobyl.

Yeah.

Um, and he's kind of the tattoo you first showed me in the back of Disney's car. When I was trying to prove that I was cool. Yeah, I think so. I think so. That's wild. Yeah, Chernobyl. Okay, we need to give him some more love because I don't, I really legit, like for I love Fantasia. That was a big thing with my dad. Like, my I remember when it when it came out, like what the 93 version, 92 something.

Yeah, the re-release, like the 50-year re-release or whatever. Yeah, that's what it was.

And my dad promised me, I'm gonna take you, I'm gonna take you. And I was so excited. And then um, the car broke down, and that was my first time taking the bus. I had never been on a bus before, and my dad was like, We're taking the bus. I'm like, the what? You can do that? Oh it was like a big adventure, right? So we went to go see it. Um, but I think the reason why I love Chernobyl so much, so he's sure he's what a demon king, they say. Okay, but listen, if you re-watch Fantasia, all he did was have a dance party. That's all he did. He summons all of the spirits that have passed. There were horses, there were animals, there was all kinds of fun people who were just freaking people who soldiers who died in war. So he summons them all up. And he, first of all, his beautiful wingtip is like the tip of the mountain, right? So he wakes up, expands his wings, summons all of these um magical, excuse me, magical little spirits, and I get I get so choked up. Magical little spirits, and they had a party. They they did some dancing and they played night on Bald Mountain, which is a beautiful piece of music. And then when the sun came up, he was like, All right, everybody, tell him to go home. They had a rave basically. Yeah. They went home.

He just had a rave. Sun comes up, the rave is over, you go home. We all know that. We've been to raves, I have. Right.

Yeah. We we now know another side of Bonnie.

Yep. But yeah, totally sober, yeah.

Toates. But he's the villain that, like, okay, no one's parents died, no one got poisoned, no one got thrown off a cliff looking at you scar. So it was kind of a nice, he's a nice little villain. He's a he just wanted a vibe.

Yeah, he just wanted a vibe, dude. It's like the original EDC.

Yeah.

Yeah. And also, I really love the part where he shows off his manicure. He's just looking at it. Like this thing.

Oh, look at that.

I can work my DJ.

I can work my soundboard and also have this manicure. What is it? What is a DJ's uh like a uh what's it called? Turntable? Turntable, yeah. Yeah, I can work my turntable with the oh Turnablox a drag queen? I didn't know. Oh, that okay. He's a DJ drag queen. Yes. No wonder I love him. If you're into horror, healing, and handmade treasures, you're gonna love the mountain crone.

Yeah, she's got two certifications in herbal medicine, one in herbal body care, and she's learning egg limpia because emotional demons need spiritual eviction notices. Plus, her eBay shop has handmade healing products and collectibles for when you need to heal and buy the things your parents wouldn't. Gotta love having grown-up money. Find the mountain crone on eBay, linked in our show notes, and on Instagram at the MTN Crone. Healing together and having fun while we do it. You're gonna be talking about Disney villains, and this is this is incredible. So why why that theme? Because you always have a different theme every month, which I really love, but why Disney villains?

You know, I've toyed with this idea for a very long time now, and maybe I thought, well, it's not horror, it's it's cartoons, but I don't know. I do very genuinely believe that there is a massive crossover between horror fans and Disney fans. I think it's nostalgic nostalgic for both of us. I think it's the horror community that you're gonna see at the Oogie Boogie Bash every year. Um, all I've seen so many, so many people with, yeah, I've got Jason Borges, but I also have the evil queen, you know. I also I also have my vampire teddy over yonder next to my sandworm, because that just makes sense to me. Yeah, obviously. Obviously. So it's an idea that I I've been thinking about, and for some reason I was like, I don't know if that makes sense. And then one day I said, Samantha, it's your show. Who cares? Like, who's gonna stop you? And villains are horror. I mean, if you think about what some of these villains were doing, it wasn't very nice, it was pretty horrific. So I think it works, and I think it's I'm trying I think it'll bring new excitement, new blood into the club, I hope. Um, people who might be like, Well, I don't know, I like horror movies, but I don't know. But wait a minute, you're doing Disney night. Also, I will say that I've I have been running drag shows for many years. Um, and anytime we did Disney night, people would lose their mind. They would get very excited because people, Disney holds a very special place in a lot of people's hearts, just like horror does, because you grew up with it. So I think that's the connection. And I also think that this lineup, they're gonna get really creative. I don't know what they're gonna come up with, but obviously it'll be commentary and insightful stuff on like, hey, this villain, this, of course, but I don't know what kind of characters are gonna show up. I don't know what kind of outside the box thinking is gonna happen, but I do know that Jeremy Tonoko, who we've had on the show, who's a love bug and kind of our mascot, he's taking a very different approach. He's not going with a villain that you would consider a villain, but he's gonna make her a villain.

Oh, I can't wait to see that. Yeah. Yeah. Cause and I think to your point, the Disney villains, we were just talking about Chernobyl, right? He wasn't doing anything wrong, but then you have a bunch of Disney villains who were absolutely doing things wrong. Who do you think is the most evil Disney villain? Oh, that's a great question. Why have I never really thought about it?

I mean, I'm trying to think of like who was evil just for the sake of being evil. I mean, they all had ulterior motives. Yeah. I'm trying to think of if there was any that was just uh no, I'm just an asshole. You know, I don't know.

Um because they're all yeah, they're all so good. And and they they're part of the reason why we like the movies is because of the villain. It's an interesting villain, and like you said, Disney is such a big part of people's lives and our childhoods. It's what we grow up with. It's you know, you and I being so cow girls. We went to Disneyland a lot. I know I haven't gone in a while, but I used to have a past. I used to go all the time. It's stuff we grew up with connects us to our family, and maybe was kind of a soft gateway into horror when we were kids because of these scary characters. But yeah. For sure. Yeah.

I mean, I used to love, you know, Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Like Ichobod Crane was such a cute character. And some of the early, like silly skeletons. I mean, some of the I'm I'm sure I have the name wrong, but some of the early Disney stuff was really um really kind of some spooky stuff in there, for sure. Yeah. Um but you know, there were villains like who's the most evil? Um, I mean, the most vain would be the evil queen. Um you know, Scar, that was bad, dude. I but the Scar is like the villain who I feel guilty loving. Uh first of all, I'm just obsessed with Jeremy Irons. I mean, what a voice. To have James Earl Jones and Jeremy Irons in the same movie playing rivals is you're not gonna beat that. That's iconic. Yeah, um hundred percent. Yeah, I mean, but it's also like I have mixed feelings because as much as I love Scar and his sassy little attitude problem, I also really love Mufasa. And the fact that he let Simba think that it was his fault, that's pretty messed up, dude. That's pretty evil. But I love Scar so much. But also, Cruella is straight up skinning puppies. That's not really nice either. Um, but she's pretty evil, that's pretty bad. I don't I I might even give it to Cruella over Scar. I mean, yeah, but I love Cruella. God's sassy, sassy fashionista.

Um it's hard to hate her. It is.

Hard to hate her because and she's probably my favorite one to see at the parks. They have uh one of the actors who plays Cruella. She's so good and and just so rude and dismissive, which I love. I mean, she's very, you know, on brand. I think um the the the the actor that plays Curella and the actor that plays the evil queen, even though there's this huge um debacle, debate, the upset, I guess, over like how can you take the villains out of the park? They're gonna, they're not gonna have them around as often. And people are particularly mad about this one actor who plays the evil queen because she's so good. Yes. There's so many clips of her. Like, I'm sure you've seen Thomas um on uh yeah, so Thomas, I forget his Instagram handle, but he's autistic. Yes, yeah, he's autistic, and so he has to wear the headphones to kind of you know keep out the distraction. But what I love is seeing all the clips of all the actors, I mean the real villains, obviously, at Disneyland. They all know him, and so they all go out of their way to talk to him. They know how to talk to him, and he loves it. And it's really I think the evil queen might be his favorite, I think. Yeah, yeah, people are really upset, like, why you can't take them out. Um I think Lucifer is behind me knocking the door. Can you hear?

I just heard that little knock, knock, knock. Let your podcast rise from undead obscurity. Beamly hosts your show, builds your site, handles paywalls and memberships with zero platform fees. Your resurrection begins at beamly.com.

But I will say, if you look at The Little Mermaid, Ariel signed a contract. She was like, cool, she signed it. The the conditions were pretty clear. Yeah. The teenager they were there. Right? It was there. I don't know that she necessarily. I mean, it wasn't a great deal for Ariel. Let's let's put it that way. However, and was she exploiting a teenager's brain? Yeah, probably. Probably. But the contract is a contract.

We're business women. We understand is a contract.

She did what she gotta do.

See, like I feel like I wish I could be maleficent because I think I would be petty if I didn't get invited to a party. But I know if I really had to be honest with myself, I would absolutely be Ursula. It's the whole voice thing, you know, she's sassy and she's got her her her eels that you have on your shirt. Like Ursula's terrific.

I don't know. And my name is in their names, Flotsum and Jetsum, S-A-M at the end.

See? See? Yeah. Is that like is that gonna be us if we were Disney animated creatures? Would we be the eels?

We would be adorable. We would be the cutest eels. That's not a bad idea, actually. New couple's costume. Sorry, boyfriends. Sorry, you guys are on your own. We'll get the little glowing eyeball. Oh my god. Do you know that that's actually a really good idea, though?

That is a really good idea. Okay, we're doing it. Are we doing the case at the Hollywood improvement? If you know, I think we might have to. Or Oogie Boogie Bash if we wear it to that.

That'd be cute. Yeah. Also, another tattoo. Okay, I'm just gonna share. Also, I have one of the mermaids from Peter Pan. And listen, they were bitches. Okay, let's just put that out there. If people don't think that the mermaids from Peter Pan were villains, they are out of their damn minds. But I love them. They're sassy little monsters. They're totally villains. But if you look at like the the like the the actual like uh mermaid folklore, they're not nice. Like they're pretty vicious, actually. So it makes sense. But my favorite part of that whole movie is we were only trying to drag to drag. Oh good. What?

Girl, I listened to it. We say that far too often here in this film. Like all the time. They are evil though. They are. They're like, oh, she can't swim. Not our problem. Success to be you, girl. But like Peter Pan lets them like hurt not hurt Wendy, but he just kind of he thinks it's funny.

Peter Pan might be an actual narcissist because he was totally triangulating them, like the mermaids versus Wendy, and they're versus Tinkerbell. Wait a minute. Wait a minute, Peter, you hussy. Is he the villain? He might be. Peter Pan is a villain. Also, I do love Captain Hook, I'm not gonna lie. He's hilarious. Yeah.

This is why we're the the eels. Sharing creepy eyeball together. You want to be flotsom or jetsum? I don't know. I guess I don't have a preference. Whichever one is like goofier, I guess I'll do that.

I'd have to re-watch it to really distinguish their different personalities.

Yeah.

But I'm really my two cats are running around like psychopaths. I'm like, I could have named them flotsum and jetsum because they are just running into shit.

I do have a fun voiceover fact about the Lion King. I don't know if you know this. Since you were talking about Be Prepared, it was Jim Cummings, who is one of the most prolific Disney voice actors who's played everybody. He filled in for Jeremy Irons when his voice gave out doing some of the notes in that song. So if you listen towards the very, very end, you have to listen closely. But once you hear it, you can't unhear it. Jeremy Irons' voice goes out, and Jim Cummings starts singing towards the end of the song. And Rapid Fire, sexiest Disney villain. I know that's that's kind of tough. I'm trying to think too, and I'm I'm struggling.

I mean, I feel like Jafar would be very popular in West Hollywood. Do you know what I mean? I think he would be one sexy man in Wii Ho. Eyeliner. The eyeliner and the like the attitude and the yeah. Would he be a top or bottom? Something to think about. Um that's tough. Verse. I don't know. But uh, I do love Jafar. Um I do have to say, the whoever the actor was that in the live action, that that didn't I didn't love the live action version. Like Jafar, I'm like, I don't know if you picked the wrong the right guy, but the guy that they had as Aladdin was so fucking hot. Can I just say he's the sexiest? I don't that guy was beautiful. Um, and I like the Jasmine as well. I thought they they they did really well. Aladdin and Jasmine. Um, but okay, sexiest. Um what if I said Isma? It's Eartha Kitt, who is also Catwoman.

I can't argue with that.

I think that kind of tracks. I think that's kind of, I'm kind of okay with that. I mean, I know guest on is like the obvious one, but no, no.

No. No. And look, I love Beating the Beast, but would not smash Gas on. No.

No, he would be a past. I'd be like, I might let you watch, but that's it.

Alright. All right. Check one, two, Freddy's reading for you.

Okay, so full disclosure, we weren't able to get Robert England in the studio.

It it says Johnny Knife Hands is reading next. I'm sorry. Was Edward Hair Shears not available?

No, I have a restraining order against that guy. Um, but anyways, go see Alex at creepyecon and shop online at themagicoilbox.com.

Yeah.

See if you said Madame Mim from the Sword and the Stone, I would laugh so hard.

That would be kind of funny.

One of my best friends did one of the funniest things, and she'd always sing the Harry Potter theme as Madame Mim from The Sword and the Stone, and she'd just go, la la la la la la. It was just so stupid, and I loved it so much. That's perfect. Oh, I hope she listens to this and hears that shout out. Heather, I love you. Um that's okay, okay, that's tough. I feel like okay, sexiest villain. Because then are you incorporating all of the the the characters that Disney has bought? So then is all like the Marvel characters in the villains are then um, nope, no cheating.

You have to just do from like Disney cartoons. That's tough. Edgar from The Aristacats. Oh, I do love the Aristacats. He's not sexy. Yeah. But um Shir Khan was kind of like the bad boy cat. You know? Yeah.

Uh Angelina Jolie is maleficent. Oh, you did the. I just googled sexy Disney villains, and I mean, it's hard to argue with that.

Yeah, that's fair.

But if that doesn't count, yeah, Shercon, Scar, Radigan from the Great Mouse Detective. Absolutely not. Probably not. Oh no, that's uh oh no, absolutely not, Frollo. He's scary.

Madame Leota has kind of has a spooky sexiness to her. Yeah. And we're not even notice how we're not even saying evil queen because that's all she wanted to be was pretty. I'm like, you're you're too vain. It ruined you, girl. Yeah, she tried too hard. Yeah, she tried too much.

And like she's beefing with a 12-year-old. What? Nah, like move on.

You you gotta move it. Move on. Move on. And now my cat is eating. I don't know if you can hear that, but my cat is Figaro from Pinocchio. It's Dr. Facilier. Am I saying it right?

We can get it. I think so, yeah.

He's kind of yeah, the shadow man of New Orleans.

Is that like Papa Ligma from uh uh American Horror Story? Maybe. Okay, that might be why we're into it. Yeah, yeah, probably. Probably.

I like Randall also, the chameleon-like creature.

Was that Steve Busami? It was, yep, from Monsters Inc., yeah. He's a little shithead. I like Randall. He's fun. All right. I would like to give a shout out to Hades from Hercules. Great villain. Totally.

Hades was so fun. I really like that.

Hades was fun. I do love that movie.

Yeah. He uh so okay. I don't know if you've ever done the like pull your friends to find out which Disney princess you truly are. Because there's like who you think you're. I'm Belle. Yeah, are you? Um, but then you asked, What's pointed? Sam? No, not you. No, I was actually pointing that at myself. I'm like, I would like to be Aurora or Belle, but I don't. Oh my God. No, you know why I was staring is because you froze for a second and I was like, oh, it felt pointed because I was staring, like, oh, did I lose her? Um, but I took a poll and I'm like, okay, friends, really. I need to know who my princess personality is. And they all said the same thing that I am Meg from Hercules. I'm like, yeah, that tracks.

Also, Susan Egan can get it.

Oh, yeah. Oh, completely. I love Hercules. That one is maybe one of the more underrated. Um, it's so good. I love that movie. It's adorable. It's great.

And I love how they kind of make some of the mythology a little less um.

Yeah, like Hera did not like Hercules in real life. Can we, can we maybe that? Mmm, whoopsie. None of that would have happened. Also, Zeus was a not that good dad, fatherly. Not really. Yeah. Yeah. Hades wasn't even a villain. Hades was Hades was like, all right, well, I'll take care of you after you die. Cool. You come down a river, you hang out with me. Well, even though he did kidnap Persephone, that wasn't really nice.

Reporting live from what experts are calling the most upsetting courtroom since the OJ glove, this is Horror Nerds News. Today marks the trial of the century as notorious Disney villain Cruella Deville stands accused of crimes against fashion and humanity. She is currently being prosecuted by the ASPCA, the Humane Society, PETA, and Sarah McLaughlin herself. And Captain Hook expressed interest, but only if the trial were moved to Neverland, and someone explained what due process means. No time for games. Where are the little brutes? The charges include conspiracy to coat, attempted puppy procurement, and what the prosecution calls premeditated furder. Look, we thought it was pho.

Yeah, pho from the Latin word for oops.

Earlier today, Sarah McLachlan addressed the court, looked directly at the jury, and said, Hi, I'm Sarah McLachlan. Please call the number on your screen. Jury deliberations are expected to last six hours or until Cruella stops monologuing. Anita, don't be ridiculous.

You can't possibly afford to keep them. You can scarcely afford to feed yourselves.

Reporting live from the House of Mouse, back to you in the studio.

So just before we go, because I know you have a show to get ready for. Oh my god.

I sing to her all the time. All the time. She loves it. So we didn't know. I know she realizes. We didn't, when we first found her, she was so little that we didn't know if she was a girl or a boy. And so we kind of settled on Figaro, and then we found out that she's a girl. We're like, who cares? Now we just call her Fig, Figgy Smalls, um, Fig Machine. Sony names for her. But I just I love the sassy little cat from Pinocchio. And um Disney loved Figaro so much that Figaro in the later cartoons wound up being Minnie Mouse's cat, which is adorable. Yeah. I didn't know that. Yeah. So in a lot of the Minnie Mouse cartoons, Figaro's in it. Yeah. Pretty cool, huh? So cool. Yeah. So, and now that I have cats, now I'm like super into Aristacats now.

Uh I don't know who I mean. You know, look, and Edgar, not the most memorable villain, but also like he kind of drugs the cats. Like, that's that's that's messed up.

Yeah, but the the two the two villains that we have not talked about, which first of all, I do have a little bit of a beef with Disney. We all have Oliver and Company, I love Oliver and Company, but and up as well. Why, may I ask, why are Dobermans always the bad guys? No, not accurate, not accurate at all. They're big effing babies, and I love them so much. Um, but the cool thing about um the two Dobies, first of all, they like remember the scene where they're like on a subway train and and how they get rid of the Dobermans, they throw them off. I'm like, you just murdered two Dobermans by throwing them off of a what the hell? I was really upset. But do you know what their names are? No Roscoe and DeSoto. Their names are Roscoe and DeSoto, which guess where Roscoe and DeSoto is? About five minutes. I live a mile up from DeSoto, and Roscoe is across the street. I go to Roscoe and DeSoto all the time because I'm in the West Valley. So whoever created those characters clearly lived in the West Valley.

Yeah.

You have the most interesting life. Uh do I? Or do I just know weird information? Perhaps that's why you're a horror nerd. Nerd? Nerd. And a dis nerd, I guess. People say that, right?

Oh yeah. Also, I learned the term dank. Disney adult, no kids.

Dink sound. Dink. I've heard of dink, but not dank. Dank everybody! Thanks for listening. Oh I got it. So before we go, give us the details for your your upcoming show. So if we want to hear more hot takes like these and fun facts and stand-up comedy, when is your show? When can people come see it? Oh, I'm so glad you asked.

Uh January 16th at the Hollywood Improv, the world famous Hollywood Improv. Uh we're there. Usually it's the third Friday of the month. So the Disney edition will be January 16th if you're in town. Really excited about it. I mean, we'll be posting clips and pictures and whatnot. You can also follow, if you're not already following, at Horror Nerd Comedy, at the Samantha Hale. We'll have all kinds of fun things posted from the show, I'm sure. I do not know. I don't know what these comics are gonna come up with, but it's gonna be amazing. Um, and then if you can't make that, we're also back at Missing at the Mortuary in Pasadena, also known as the former Lamb Family Mortuary from HBO's the Mortician. Look it up.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with because I love the show, the live show every month, the improv. It's you have a different theme, and I know for a fact we're gonna get some surprises with some of your comics, and that's gonna be really fun.

Well, I can I can give you a little bit of an inside scoop of a surprise. Uh, we will have a very special guest, Monster Puppet, Barry Under Your Bed, who is a Horror Nerd Icon team member. Um, and Barry, this sweet monster puppet, may or may not be singing a very dirty parody of Be Our Guest to open the show. Very dirty, very dirty. Belle would maybe like it. I think Gaston would be like, oh. Yeah, she'd be into it.

She's secretly a freak. We know.

I think so. I totally think so. It's the smart, quiet ones you gotta watch out for.

We love our nerdy ones, don't we?

Yeah.

Well, on that note, I'm looking forward to it, and I'll see you there. Happy New Year, nerds.

A dream is a wish your heart makes.

Yeah. I don't know why my brain was like, rhyme heart with fart. I'm clearly five years old. A fart is a wish your butt makes, yeah. Are you guests on? I might be.

Awesome.

Clearly, you can see it in this giant sweater. I look like Madame Leota floating over here just in the darkness, and then just white. Summon the spirits with your tambourine. I don't know. I'm gonna go.
