It's a shame this video isn't more popular, because it was remarkably well done.

[@kevinl20082008]

The black not only gets killed first but has to carry all the bags too.

[@CruisinOnSunshine]

kevinl20082008 Yup! Thought the same thing. Lol

[@polyforge3d]

And sits in the back, while white man drives the car.

[@gabrielrueda8840]

Took the words right out of my mouth.

[@bdaleyknox11]

The "kshhh" when the first can gets opened lol

[@johndemeritt3460]

This was a really great summary -- an interview with someone like Roger Corman would have made it even better. But it would have cost a bit more to produce though . . . .

You forgot the bullshit factor. A cabin with dorms and kitchen but no restroom. " SERIOUSLY" !?

[@pozzowon]

You even killed the black guy! Some things don't change in the movie business

[@annylinsPE]

Very nice movie haha And good to learn English, thank you so much!! I'm brazilian, and I'm subscripted to this channel!

[@saims.2402]

I can’t believe this has like only 12,000 views! It’s an awesome video, good work people!

[@NPR]

hey, thanks!

[@JohnSmith-td7hd]

I have a groundbreaking idea for any movie- instead of the black/gay guy dying, have them survive.

[@gregingram4996]

I noticed the same thing (and don't forget the guy in the wheelchair)! Doesn't that house have a bathroom? Why'd the black guy have to go outside in the dark for a winky-tink? I've only ever seen one movie, the remake of The House on Haunted Hill, where the black guy is one of the two survivors. Anybody know of any other horror movies where the black, gay or disabled character survives?

[@ArtiePenguin1]

Great video Planet Money! Keep more of these coming

[@Riomojo]

Well done, very fun and informative

[@TheShadowySun]

That was better than most horror movies I've seen. Sequel?

[@purtelo]

"Watch money flooding in..." - from who?

[@elainecoates8579]

It's like Parks and Rec stupid horror movie, "Death Canoe on Blood Lake."

[@callyman]

You've inspired me
