6, Personal Squeening Come

2:45

in. Good

2:48

evening Sam. I don't believe we

2:50

had a meeting scheduled. Well, no, but

2:52

I was wondering if you could spare a few

2:55

minutes though. I think it

2:57

might be important. Very well.

3:02

Do take a seat. Oh, sorry.

3:05

It's fine. What is it you wanted

3:07

to discuss? Well, it's a

3:09

bit awkward. I'm not really sure how to...

3:12

For the sake of efficiency, let us presume that

3:14

since you have said it is important, I will

3:16

not make any assumptions. Okay,

3:18

yeah. Well, in that case,

3:21

it's calling. Go

3:24

on. I'm

3:27

worried about him. That

3:29

is... Well,

3:32

today I found him crawling along the

3:35

corridor, yanking out wires and muttering to

3:37

himself. Well, Colin's role

3:39

does include technical maintenance. Sure,

3:43

but I mean, he's

3:45

added all those locks to his office

3:47

door and he refuses to even go

3:49

near a camera now. A desire for

3:51

personal privacy is not a crime. Yes,

3:54

I understand that, but I

3:57

think the stress is getting to him and... Honestly,

4:00

I think he might need some professional

4:02

help. Anything

4:05

else? Um... No.

4:08

Right. Right. Firstly,

4:11

thank you for raising this with me,

4:13

Sam. It's important we don't

4:15

keep secrets here. Oh, that's

4:18

quite alright. Now, while I understand

4:20

your concerns, you need

4:22

to understand that Colin has held

4:24

the IT Manager position for some

4:26

time without incident, and although

4:28

he is somewhat... frustrated

4:31

with his current assignment, he can request

4:34

help from the central IT team at

4:36

any time. I am

4:38

certain that should he find his

4:40

responsibilities unmanageable, he will request assistance.

4:43

Or resign, of course. Either

4:45

way, the problem will resolve itself. Right.

4:51

Was there something else, Sam? I...

4:56

No. No,

4:59

I guess not. Very good. And

5:05

Sam? Yeah? Please

5:07

schedule such meetings in future.

5:10

Sure. Glad

5:29

to see you've been learning from my

5:31

exceptional example. What? You're

5:33

late. Okay. And

5:37

thanks to my incredible perception

5:39

skills and genius intellect, I

5:42

think I can detect the sortlest hints

5:44

that you might be ever so slightly

5:46

niffed. But I could

5:48

be wrong. Lena... Doesn't

5:51

take me seriously. Ah... Yeah,

5:54

Lena isn't exactly known for her

5:56

diplomacy. What's all this? That.

6:00

Now bear with me on this Sam because

6:02

I know you're feeling emotional right now. It's

6:05

paper! It's made from

6:07

trees. And- Dallas! It's

6:09

not today. Please. I

6:12

had a nosy while you were in Lena's office. Looks

6:15

like it's for your response department once a once.

6:18

Er-what? All of it. As

6:21

far as I can tell. Good grief.

6:24

Just chuck it. I told

6:26

you I'm pretty sure the response department

6:28

doesn't even exist anymore. It's

6:30

just the system spitting out dead paperwork.

6:32

Happens all the time. Mmm. Alright.

6:39

Did you not hear me? I heard you. And?

6:43

And I'm going to fill it in anyway. See

6:45

what happens. You're wasting your time.

6:47

It's my dime to waste. You

6:49

say that but your caseload is pretty heavy

6:51

tonight and I'm too busy to bail you

6:53

out. Uh-huh. Geez, they

6:55

want the last- seven

6:58

addresses I've lived at. I

7:00

don't even know if I've even had- Sam!

7:03

Seriously, you better do that later. We're

7:06

swamped. Yeah. Yeah,

7:09

yeah, okay. Alright.

7:23

Blog post general. Welcome

7:25

to my twisted mind. Hey

7:28

all you sick freaks out there. Tom here.

7:31

Your gruesome guide to the most twisted horror films

7:33

of the world wide web. We're

7:36

going to be talking about the darkest, splattiest

7:38

stuff here. Starting next week

7:40

with Rob Zombie's Halloween 2. Stay

7:43

bloody. Blog

7:46

post general. A blast

7:48

from the past. Wow,

7:50

this is all incredibly weird. I

7:53

can't believe this blog's still up. Was

7:55

looking for somewhere slightly less confrontational than social

7:58

media to post my film thoughts. And

8:00

I remembered starting this back in... What?

8:05

That first post. 14

8:07

years old and convinced I was the edgiest writer on the

8:09

web. Might keep it up for

8:11

posterity. God knows the kid went through

8:13

enough. I

8:16

remember I was pretty lonely in those days. Ever

8:18

since I was a child, making friends has always been kind

8:21

of a struggle. My interests have

8:23

always been seen as a little... Strange.

8:26

While other kids my age at the time were looking

8:28

up to football players and other celebrities, I

8:30

was looking up to Pinhead and Freddy Krueger. It

8:33

wasn't in a psychopath kind of way or anything,

8:35

I've just always been fascinated by horror. I

8:38

can thank my dad for that. He showed me puppet

8:40

master when I was six. Oh, don't

8:42

worry buddy, it's just like Toy Story. He

8:45

had kind of a dark sense of humor like that. That's

8:48

when my fixation started. We

8:51

must have watched thousands of weird and obscure horror

8:53

films over the years. Critters,

8:55

ghoulies, Wishmaster. I

8:57

couldn't get enough. And that is

8:59

what brings us here today. This

9:01

is the first new post of the

9:04

Horror Dumpster Dive. I'm

9:06

going to use this blog to talk about all things

9:08

horror. This could include film

9:10

reviews, gaming news, and just basically my general

9:12

thoughts on the genre. The

9:14

plan is to focus on unknown gems. There's

9:17

a comment section as well, so if you like something

9:19

or just have some general feedback, feel

9:22

free to leave a comment. And

9:24

remember, one man's trash

9:26

is another man's terror. I'm

9:29

really proud of that tagline. Bye!

9:54

Blog post, general, some news.

9:57

Hello there horror hounds. Hope You're all

9:59

having a- Sick day to day. I.

10:01

Sure am! I know that this blog still fairly

10:04

new but I must say it feels so good

10:06

to have like minded people to talk to and

10:08

I want to give a big thank you to

10:10

everyone who has been leading recommendations in the comments.

10:13

They. Have actually been a few that I've never even heard

10:15

of. I. Don't seem to find

10:17

the original comment anymore, but one of you

10:19

mentioned assume called Voyager. I.

10:22

Looked it up and I can't seem to find anything about

10:24

it. I mean, don't get me wrong,

10:26

there's literally dozens of films with that title,

10:28

but let's just say that most of them

10:30

Ancora non released in two thousand and nine.

10:33

The out say I could find was another old

10:35

blog with what must have been the shortest film

10:37

review I've ever read. He

10:39

can check the length, but I'll save you some time.

10:42

All. It says is. For your needs

10:44

to be seem to be believed. The

10:46

scariest movie I have ever seen.

10:51

I am sold. I need to track down

10:53

this film. Is any of you

10:56

have any more info on voyeur? Please leave

10:58

it down below in the comments. Oh

11:00

and remember, if you like what I'm doing

11:02

her, you can contribute to my Tosi. Every

11:05

little bit helps. Those. Old hidden

11:07

gems can get expensive. By.

11:11

Blog. Post General. Huge

11:14

update. Oh. My God

11:16

I can't believe one of he found it!

11:18

Thank you so much and a phobia. One to

11:21

two, two zero for the link. I

11:23

have no idea how you haven't found it. You're

11:26

right that it seems to be the official website for the

11:28

film. Is. So strange though. He

11:31

should alter the link out for yourselves. It

11:33

looks like it hasn't been updated in years, but

11:35

they appear to be currently running some kind of

11:37

contest. Screening.

11:40

Of the so and then they get to be part

11:42

of a T. When I the director and I should

11:44

go, why not write? The. Form literally

11:46

only asked me to enter my name. I

11:49

never win these things and the door probably

11:51

already happened years ago, but what the hell?

11:54

I will let you will know if anything comes of it. i

11:57

still haven't found a copy of the actual phone on

11:59

line anyway Thank you everyone for

12:01

the help and don't forget, if you have any

12:03

recommendations for some other hidden gems you would like

12:05

me to take a look at, please

12:07

leave a comment down below. Thanks.

12:11

Blog post, game review, faith,

12:14

the unholy trilogy, the contents

12:17

of this post have been deleted. Blog

12:19

post, general, no way.

12:23

I won the contest. I

12:26

can't believe it. The invitation was waiting

12:28

when I got home today in a small black

12:30

envelope. I don't even remember giving

12:32

them my address. The website must

12:34

have logged my IP and looked it up or something.

12:36

I'm really not sure how any of that works. The

12:39

letter also had all the details about the screening

12:41

itself. It's very short notice,

12:43

but the screening is this Saturday. I'm

12:46

supposed to have work that night, but I'm going to figure it out.

12:49

There is not a chance in hell that I'm going to

12:51

miss this, and I've actually been to

12:53

the cinema before. I used to go all

12:56

the time with my dad. They would

12:58

play classic horror films midday every Saturday.

13:00

That's where I saw I Know What You Did Last

13:02

Summer and The Thing for the first time. I

13:05

haven't been there in years though. I

13:07

actually didn't even know that it was still open. It

13:10

is a bit of a trek to get there, so if you

13:12

would like to contribute to the expenses, you can

13:15

head over to my Ko-fi page. I'll leave a

13:17

link in the comments. I'm not sure if

13:19

I'll have time for any other posts before this weekend, but

13:21

I will try my best. Talk

13:23

to you all soon. Blog

13:26

post general, getting ready.

13:29

Sorry I've been MIA these past few days. I've

13:32

actually been pretty nervous about this whole event. This

13:34

film could never live up to my expectations. This

13:37

happens to me when it comes to horror film.

13:39

In fact, it comes up so often that I even came up with

13:42

a term for it. I call it getting

13:45

Babadooked. Everything I read

13:47

about the Babadook before seeing it was how phenomenal

13:49

it was. I was so hyped

13:51

for that film that I even ended up dressing

13:53

for the occasion. And then... blech.

13:57

It was so embarrassing. I struggled

13:59

to think of a more... disappointing film. But

14:02

I'm sure it won't be another Babadook. I

14:04

can't believe that tonight is finally the night. I

14:07

know that I only found out about this film

14:09

like a week ago but I feel like I've

14:11

been waiting to see something that would truly scare

14:13

me for years now. I

14:16

feel like I've been kind of numb to the

14:18

whole genre. Obviously I still

14:20

really enjoy everything horror related but it takes a

14:22

lot to get any sort of reaction out of

14:24

me these days. I even

14:26

started seeking out the borderline, should

14:28

be illegal stuff, faces of death,

14:31

the August underground theories. Even

14:33

those barely get a shudder out of me. I'm

14:36

hoping this might finally scratch that itch. Sorry

14:39

I'm just rambling now. I really need

14:41

to log off and start getting ready. And oh

14:44

yeah I forgot to mention I'm sure you all

14:46

are wondering when you will be able to hear

14:48

all my thoughts on the experience. Well

14:50

I have good news. You won't have to

14:52

wait at all. The invitation to the

14:54

screening actually explicitly mentioned that live blogging

14:57

the event is okay. I've

14:59

been testing out some of these speech-to-text apps and have

15:01

found one that should work. So prepare

15:03

for my impressions. Live.

15:05

I'm so excited and I hope you

15:07

all are too. Okay

15:09

I'm going to order the lift now. If

15:11

you would like to help pay for that my Ko-fi and

15:14

PayPal are in the pinned comment down below. Next

15:16

time you hear from me I will be at the cinema.

15:19

Talk to you later horror hounds in

15:21

real time. Blog

15:24

post. Live blog. Voyer

15:26

event. I made

15:28

it. Finally. The

15:31

price of the lift was absolutely insane but it is

15:33

definitely going to be worth it. Wow.

15:36

This place looks just how I remember

15:38

it although it's old obviously and dirtier.

15:42

Yeah time has not been kind to this place.

15:45

There's ripped trash bags on the front steps and there

15:48

is some pretty graphic

15:50

graffiti all over the walls. You'd

15:52

think that they would want to clean things up a bit

15:54

before hosting an event. Huh.

15:57

There's just the one car in the car

15:59

park. Voyer. fan screening sold

16:01

out is on the marquee so this

16:03

is definitely the right place. Is

16:07

it a private screening just for me? The

16:10

contest didn't mention that. That's

16:12

unintelligible. Cool, actually. I'm

16:15

going to head on in. Hang on a

16:17

sec. Oh

16:19

my god. Never judge a book by

16:21

its cover, I guess. It is

16:24

glorious in here. The

16:26

carpet and walls are absolutely pristine and

16:28

the smell of freshly butted popcorn. Mmm.

16:32

I'm not sure where exactly I'm supposed to be right now

16:34

so I'm going to head over to the ticket counter and

16:36

see if the employee there can point me in the right

16:38

direction. The

16:41

guy was very helpful. Apparently Voyeur

16:43

is the only film playing tonight so I guess I

16:45

have the place to myself. I also

16:47

get a large popcorn and a drink. I

16:49

told him I didn't really want them but he was kind

16:51

of touchy about it. I asked

16:53

about the mess outside trying not to be rude

16:55

about it but he just said, it's what's on

16:58

the inside that matters. That's

17:00

kind of deep when you think about it. I'm

17:03

going to go grab my snacks and then try and find my

17:05

seat. Snacks

17:07

acquired. They're obviously short staffed since

17:09

it was the same guy working the concession stand.

17:12

I feel bad. He looks super old and

17:15

they're really putting him to work. He

17:17

seems in good spirits though. Okay.

17:20

Unintelligible. Find my seat.

17:24

The poor guy. They have him ushering too.

17:27

They really need to hire more staff. Oh

17:30

wow. There's really nobody else in

17:32

this whole cinema. I'm so lucky.

17:35

There's absolutely nothing like sitting alone in a

17:37

cold room and watching a scary film that

17:40

you know nothing about. So

17:43

I'm almost done with my popcorn and the film hasn't

17:45

even started yet. No previews or

17:47

anything. Do I go talk to the old

17:50

guy? I really hate

17:52

unintelligible. Bother him. I'm

17:54

just going to wait for now. This

17:58

has to be the best popcorn I have ever had. the had. A

18:01

meeting the entire bucket before the film even

18:03

started. I haven't en much since. Oh

18:06

something is happening. The

18:08

projector is officially own. And

18:11

we go. So

18:14

it's been a minute and the screen

18:16

is still black. Putting

18:19

it was sounds like beeping. Sound

18:23

so familiar Pattern quite

18:25

places medical equipment, On

18:29

intelligible screen looks like

18:31

him. Like a flashback or something

18:33

and held looks like it was

18:35

filmed on an old camcorder. Wait,

18:40

Is that? I

18:43

know that roof, how. Out

18:46

taken on intelligible. This was

18:49

after the accident. Don't

18:51

want to profit from my brother's. That

18:55

19:38

it's fine he to can hold

you always say the sweetest things. Look

after yourself. Are

20:11

you saying that- Jesus! How

20:14

long were you lurking there? I wasn't

20:16

lurking. I need to ask you

20:18

something. Right, fine. Do you

20:20

remember the IT manager before Colin?

20:22

Who? Amelia?

20:24

What about her? No, before Amelia,

20:27

before I joined. What's

20:29

that? A man-guy. Lots of

20:31

tattoos. I mean, I think Amelia mentioned him

20:33

once or twice, maybe? Mostly

20:36

I remember her complaining about his work, but

20:39

he'd have been here well before my time.

20:41

What's this about? Plan of your business. What?

20:46

Seriously? Yes. What

20:50

the hell is wrong with everyone today?

Hi, I'm Jamie Petronas, the writer

22:58

of The Case You've Just Listened To. If

23:01

you've enjoyed this episode and want to hear more of

23:03

my work, be sure to check out my show The

23:05

Settler Letters, a found audio horror podcast

23:07

about a man that moves to the east coast

23:09

for a fresh start, but

23:11

soon realizes that things in his new house are not

23:13

quite right. You can

23:15

listen to The Settler Letters by following the link in the

23:17

show notes below, or you can find

23:19

it at rustyquill.com. To

23:23

give you an idea of my show, here's a trailer.

23:28

I know that nobody's listening, but I wanted to record

23:30

just in case. I

23:33

still haven't found any trace of Jess. Steve

23:37

is just gone, but

23:39

not gone at the same time, and I

23:43

can't leave. Every

23:45

path I take just leaves me back here, to this

23:48

house. I

23:50

know that this is all connected to those letters in the

23:52

basement, but I

23:56

need to keep reading. Hello,

24:05

listener. Is it me you're looking for?

24:08

As brands, we're always wanting to make a connection

24:10

to find the person you can rely

24:12

on, the one that's there every week, month, or

24:14

year, and always has your back when you need

24:16

them the most. It's a little like

24:18

matchmaking, don't you think? With ACAS

24:20

Podcast ads, you can filter for your exact

24:23

dream audience so you can find the ideal

24:25

customer for your business. The

24:27

Romeo to your Juliet, the

24:29

Rachel to your Ross, the Burt to

24:31

your Ernie, and avoid those red

24:33

flags and time-lasters. Your ads

24:35

can communicate with them in the most intimate way

24:38

possible, a one-on-one conversation,

24:40

at the back of the bus,

24:42

a chance meeting in the gym, or a

24:44

coffee shop. So go on, give it a

24:46

try. With over hundreds of thousands of

24:48

listens a month, your person is probably here.
