Royal Fun Fact and Dracula
00:00:51
Speaker
Now for our fun fact of the day. Did you know that King Charles has claimed to be related to Vlad the Impaler? Vlad was a 15th century Romanian ruler, and guess which spooky character was based on Vlad the Impaler?
00:01:08
Speaker
Dracula. Does anyone find it hard to call King Charles King instead of Prince? Yes, I still slip up sometimes for sure. Me too. Okay, so let's get back to Vlad.
00:01:20
Speaker
Vlad wasn't just any ruler. He earned his nickname, the Impaler, because of his favorite method of execution. He'd skewer his enemies on stakes and leave them to die slowly.
00:01:32
Speaker
That is horrifying. Okay, so King Charles actually confirmed this family connection himself. In 2014, actor Luke Evans, who played Dracula in a film, met King Charles at an event.
00:01:45
Speaker
When Evans mentioned he had just finished filming Dracula Untold, apparently Charles' eyes lit up and he explained how he was related to Vlad. The connection comes through Queen Mary of Tech, Charles' great-grandmother.
00:01:59
Speaker
Apparently Vlad is a 16 times great-granduncle to King Charles. Charles even owns several properties in Transylvania, Romania. You know, keeping it in the family.
Chucky vs Annabelle Debate
00:02:11
Speaker
Alright, so let's move on to a quick round of This or That based on today's theme.
00:02:20
Speaker
This or That. Would you rather spend the night at a house with Chucky the doll or Annabelle the doll? Both creepy dolls. They are. Maybe I was too old when I watched Chucky, but I remember laughing during the movie. I know you're not supposed to, but I just couldn't take him seriously.
00:02:41
Speaker
But I've heard Annabelle the doll is based on a true story. So I think if I want to be scared, I'll go with Annabelle. Like if you want to get murdered. Yeah, exactly.
00:02:53
Speaker
Okay. Okay. So you're like, Chucky doesn't scare me. yeah I want to be more scared. So. Yeah. Okay. Okay. All right.
00:03:03
Speaker
I think I choose Annabelle, but more because I think she'd be more harmless than Chucky. She's less of a threat. Yeah. Yeah. Like Chucky has, has the knife that he's carrying around that spooks me a little bit. i think Annabelle, I mean,
00:03:19
Speaker
What's the worst she can do? She just kind of like pops up in different places, which is kind of creepy, but yeah. I'd be more scared with Chucky, so i would choose Annabelle. but Okay.
Scariest Movie Girls Discussion
00:03:31
Speaker
All right. This or that. Creepy girls in movies. Which one sends chills down your spine more? The little girl from The Exorcist or the little girl from The Ring? Definitely the girl from The Exorcist. I think her name was Reagan. Just the twisting around of the head is I think that gave me nightmares when I was younger and I first watched that.
00:03:54
Speaker
So creepy. I think the girl from the ring is scarier. That one gave me nightmares. Yeah. so I got to go. It is. It is creepy when you can't, you can't see her face. Just yeah all the hair in front of her face. Yeah. That is a little creepy.
00:04:07
Speaker
But they do look like sisters. so They do. I know. yeah But you know what we didn't put on here was the Grady twins from The Shining, which some people might think that's true they're creepier. so Two is creepier than one.
00:04:20
Speaker
I know. All right.
