00:00Don't open that trap door, cause there's something down there, and it's exclusive.
00:05What is that? That's a lot of locks.
00:07Oh, what? Now look what you've done. Kids, eh?
00:10Yes, there's a troubler brewing in suburbia.
00:13The Z Thompson brothers discover a bottomless pit below their new house.
00:16And wouldn't you just know it?
00:18Said pit is actually a direct line to your worst fears.
00:21So step forward then one creepy little clown, a cop with half of his bonce missing, and Nick Clegg.
00:26Okay, okay, that last one didn't make it into the final cut.
00:29You've got a gateway to hell under your house, and that is really cool.
00:33They just don't make them like this anymore.
00:35And that's probably got something to do with the fact that director Joe Dante was making them all back in
00:40the 80s,
00:40before taking a break from this filmmaking malarkey.
00:43Having side such immortal hits as Gremlins and The Burbs, Dante is back with this diet horror family fantasy.
00:49And the man himself, along with star Chris Massolia, dropped by for a chat to discuss their own personal fears.
00:55My fears are not related to the supernatural at all.
00:58My fears are much more grounded in politics and reality.
01:02When I'm driving and the cops come, and in the rear view, seeing the lights flashing, just my heart gets
01:11going.
01:12It's like, ah.
01:13Okay.
01:14Hollywood stars and their law enforcement phobias, a tale as old as time.
01:18You know, I grew up in the 50s when it was the atomic fear era, and we were all told
01:22that the bomb was going to go off any minute.
01:24And so maybe I just got used to that part.
01:27And, you know, after a certain age, I realized there weren't going to be any giant ants.
01:30Whoa, whoa, whoa there, cowboy.
01:32You're telling me giant A-bomb ants don't exist?
01:35Well, I've been misinformed.
01:37So, let that be a lesson to all you young'uns out there.
01:40If you discover a boarded up and locked trap door in your cellar, it's probably best if you leave well
01:45alone.
01:45We're giving this basement breakout hit a rollicking four stars.
01:52Lucas!
01:56Help!
01:57Stop!
02:02The Hole in 3D
