[ Transylvanian accent ] AAH!

[ LAUGHS EVILLY ]

[ Transylvanian accent ] AAH!

DO YOU HAVE A COSTUME FOR ME?

[ Transylvanian accent ] AAH!

[ Normal voice ] WOULD YOU EVEN WEAR ONE?

[ Transylvanian accent ] AAH!

NO.

[ Transylvanian accent ] AAH!

THEN WE DON'T.

[ Transylvanian accent ] AAH!

SO, WHAT'S ON THE ROSTER FOR THE HALLOWEEN SPECIAL?

[ Transylvanian accent ] AAH!

I'M GLAD YOU ASKED.

[ Transylvanian accent ] AAH!

FIRST UP, WE HAVE THE MYTH CALLED THE FREQUENCY OF FEAR.

[ Transylvanian accent ] AAH!

THERE IS APPARENTLY A CERTAIN FREQUENCY OF SOUND

[ Transylvanian accent ] AAH!

THAT PEOPLE CAN'T HEAR BUT THEY CAN SENSE IT,

[ Transylvanian accent ] AAH!

AND IT MAKES PEOPLE FEEL SPOOKED,

[ Transylvanian accent ] AAH!

AND IT MIGHT BE AN EXPLANATION

[ Transylvanian accent ] AAH!

FOR WHY PEOPLE THINK CERTAIN PLACES ARE HAUNTED.

[ Transylvanian accent ] AAH!

I LIKE THAT.

[ Transylvanian accent ] AAH!

AND, YOU KNOW, I ALSO WANT TO TRY

[ Transylvanian accent ] AAH!

DEALING WITH DISPOSING OF BODIES.

[ Transylvanian accent ] AAH!

[ SCOFFS ] REALLY?

[ Transylvanian accent ] AAH!

YEAH, YOU KNOW, IN THE MOVIES,

[ Transylvanian accent ] AAH!

THEY'RE ALWAYS SLINGING THEM AROUND LIKE THEY'RE EASY,

[ Transylvanian accent ] AAH!

BUT THERE'S A REASON THEY CALL IT DEAD WEIGHT.

[ Transylvanian accent ] AAH!

THAT'S GREAT! IT SOUNDS POSITIVELY GHOULISH!

[ Transylvanian accent ] AAH!

[ LAUGHS EVILLY ]

[ Transylvanian accent ] AAH!

HERE WE GO.

Narrator: YEP. BE AFRAID. BE VERY AFRAID.

HERE WE GO.

BECAUSE ADAM AND JAMIE HAVE DOUBLED THE DREAD

HERE WE GO.

FOR A DUO OF DISTURBING MYTHS,

HERE WE GO.

AND FIRST UP IS AN AUDIO ANOMALY.

HERE WE GO.

[ SCREAMING ]

HERE WE GO.

THERE'S NO SHORTAGE OF FOLKS

HERE WE GO.

REPORTING THAT THEY SEE DEAD PEOPLE.

HERE WE GO.

BUT SCIENCE SUGGESTS THAT THIS PARANORMAL ACTIVITY

COULD ALL BE DOWN TO INAUDIBLE SOUNDS.

BUT SCIENCE SUGGESTS THAT THIS PARANORMAL ACTIVITY

COULD THE VIBRATION OF HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES

BUT SCIENCE SUGGESTS THAT THIS PARANORMAL ACTIVITY

AT THE SUPPOSED "FREAKY FREQUENCY"

BUT SCIENCE SUGGESTS THAT THIS PARANORMAL ACTIVITY

REALLY MAKE YOU SEE A GHOST?

BUT SCIENCE SUGGESTS THAT THIS PARANORMAL ACTIVITY

SO, WHAT'S THE PLAN FOR FREQUENCY OF FEAR?

BUT SCIENCE SUGGESTS THAT THIS PARANORMAL ACTIVITY

WELL, THE SPECIFIC FREQUENCY TURNS OUT TO BE 19 HERTZ.

BUT SCIENCE SUGGESTS THAT THIS PARANORMAL ACTIVITY

IT'S SUBAURAL, WHICH MEANS YOU CAN'T HEAR IT.

BUT SCIENCE SUGGESTS THAT THIS PARANORMAL ACTIVITY

BUT TO GIVE OURSELVES THE BEST CHANCE

BUT SCIENCE SUGGESTS THAT THIS PARANORMAL ACTIVITY

THAT SOMEONE MIGHT BE ABLE TO SENSE IT,

BUT SCIENCE SUGGESTS THAT THIS PARANORMAL ACTIVITY

I THINK WE NEED A BIG, FAT SPEAKER STACK

BUT SCIENCE SUGGESTS THAT THIS PARANORMAL ACTIVITY

THAT CAN GENERATE 19 HERTZ AT A FAIRLY HIGH INTENSITY.

BUT SCIENCE SUGGESTS THAT THIS PARANORMAL ACTIVITY

SOUNDS GOOD.

BUT SCIENCE SUGGESTS THAT THIS PARANORMAL ACTIVITY

SO WE CAN BE SCIENTIFIC AND ALL,

BUT SCIENCE SUGGESTS THAT THIS PARANORMAL ACTIVITY

WHY DON'T WE GET, SAY, FOUR SEPARATE COTTAGES

BUT SCIENCE SUGGESTS THAT THIS PARANORMAL ACTIVITY

THAT ARE ALREADY A LITTLE SPOOKY?

BUT SCIENCE SUGGESTS THAT THIS PARANORMAL ACTIVITY

AH! AND WE'LL ONLY PLAY THE SOUND IN ONE OF THEM!

BUT SCIENCE SUGGESTS THAT THIS PARANORMAL ACTIVITY

YEAH, AND IF THEY'RE ALREADY A LITTLE SPOOKY,

BUT SCIENCE SUGGESTS THAT THIS PARANORMAL ACTIVITY

MAYBE THE TONE WILL SEND THEM OVER THE EDGE.

BUT SCIENCE SUGGESTS THAT THIS PARANORMAL ACTIVITY

OH, THAT'S TERRIFIC. ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO IT.

BUT SCIENCE SUGGESTS THAT THIS PARANORMAL ACTIVITY

AND DEEP IN THE BACKWOODS,

THE MYTHBUSTERS HAVE FOUND THE PERFECT LOCATION

AND DEEP IN THE BACKWOODS,

TO SET THE, UH, TONE.

AND DEEP IN THE BACKWOODS,

WHERE'S JAMIE?

AAH!

LITTLE SPOOKY HERE, ISN'T IT?

AAH!

I THINK IT'S PLENTY SPOOKY.

AAH!

[ CHUCKLES ]

AAH!

Adam: NOW, BECAUSE THIS IS A HALLOWEEN EPISODE,

AAH!

WE WANTED THE LOCATION WE CAME TO, TO BE GOOD AND SPOOKY.

AAH!

OO-OO-OOH!

AAH!

BUT NOT SO SPOOKY

AAH!

THAT IT WOULD ACTUALLY SKEW THE CONTROL OF OUR TEST --

AAH!

TESTING SPOOKINESS.

AAH!

AND ABOUT 2 1/2 HOURS NORTH OF THE MYTHBUSTERS SHOP

AAH!

IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, IN THE REDWOODS,

AAH!

WE FOUND THIS FANTASTIC CLUB RESORT,

AAH!

AND NO ONE'S BEEN HERE IN ALMOST 15 YEARS.

AAH!

IT WAS ONCE BEAUTIFUL,

AAH!

BUT NOW IT'S SIMPLY PERFECT FOR US.

AAH!

THEY'RE PERFECT FOR OUR PURPOSES

AAH!

BECAUSE, DESPITE SMALL COSMETIC DIFFERENCES,

AAH!

EACH OF OUR FOUR CABINS HAS A NEARLY IDENTICAL LAYOUT.

AAH!

WE WILL, HOWEVER, ONLY BE APPLYING

AAH!

OUR INFRASOUND TREATMENT TO ONE OF THE FOUR CABINS,

AAH!

AND WE'LL BE TRYING TO FIND OUT

AAH!

IF THERE'S ANY MEAT TO THIS MYTH --

AAH!

I.E. DOES A STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY

AAH!

OF OUR VOLUNTEERS

AAH!

FIND THAT CABIN TO BE THE HAUNTED ONE?

AAH!

PERFECT.

AAH!

Narrator: INDEED. AND TO GENERATE THAT HUM...

AAH!

THESE AIN'T NO BOOM BOXES. [ CHUCKLES ]

AAH!

...JAMIE'S TRACKED DOWN A SUPERSIZED STACK OF SPEAKERS.

AAH!

Jamie: IT'S EQUIVALENT TO THE SOUND

AAH!

THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE COMING OUT OF A LARGE ROCK CONCERT.

AAH!

IT'S ABOUT 40,000 WATTS,

AAH!

OR, YOU KNOW THAT HOME-THEATER SYSTEM YOU HAVE?

AAH!

WELL, IT'S ABOUT 400 OF THOSE.

AAH!

Narrator: YEP, CABIN NUMBER 3 HAS A SOUND SYSTEM TO DIE FOR.

BUT FOR THIS TEST, THEY'RE PUMPING THE VOLUME...DOWN?

Narrator: YEP, CABIN NUMBER 3 HAS A SOUND SYSTEM TO DIE FOR.

THESE SPEAKERS ARE CLEARLY CAPABLE

Narrator: YEP, CABIN NUMBER 3 HAS A SOUND SYSTEM TO DIE FOR.

OF MAKING THE WHOLE BUILDING VIBRATE AND THE WINDOWS SHAKE,

Narrator: YEP, CABIN NUMBER 3 HAS A SOUND SYSTEM TO DIE FOR.

WHICH IS WHAT THEY'RE DOING NOW.

Narrator: YEP, CABIN NUMBER 3 HAS A SOUND SYSTEM TO DIE FOR.

AND WE CAN'T ACTUALLY HAVE ANY SOUNDS

Narrator: YEP, CABIN NUMBER 3 HAS A SOUND SYSTEM TO DIE FOR.

THAT THE TEST SUBJECTS CAN HEAR

Narrator: YEP, CABIN NUMBER 3 HAS A SOUND SYSTEM TO DIE FOR.

BECAUSE THAT WOULD SKEW THE RESULTS.

Narrator: YEP, CABIN NUMBER 3 HAS A SOUND SYSTEM TO DIE FOR.

WE'VE GOT AN UPPER LIMIT ON THE AMOUNT OF VOLUME

Narrator: YEP, CABIN NUMBER 3 HAS A SOUND SYSTEM TO DIE FOR.

THAT WE CAN PUMP OUT OF THOSE SPEAKERS.

Narrator: YEP, CABIN NUMBER 3 HAS A SOUND SYSTEM TO DIE FOR.

SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO TUNE THIS BACK JUST TO THE POINT

Narrator: YEP, CABIN NUMBER 3 HAS A SOUND SYSTEM TO DIE FOR.

WHERE THERE'S NOTHING AUDIBLE, INCLUDING RATTLING,

Narrator: YEP, CABIN NUMBER 3 HAS A SOUND SYSTEM TO DIE FOR.

AND WE'LL WORK WITH THAT.

Narrator: YEP, CABIN NUMBER 3 HAS A SOUND SYSTEM TO DIE FOR.

Narrator: WITH THE VOLUME DIALED DOWN FROM 11,

Narrator: YEP, CABIN NUMBER 3 HAS A SOUND SYSTEM TO DIE FOR.

JAMIE GOES FOR A TEST RUN.

Narrator: YEP, CABIN NUMBER 3 HAS A SOUND SYSTEM TO DIE FOR.

[ DOOR CREAKING ]

Narrator: YEP, CABIN NUMBER 3 HAS A SOUND SYSTEM TO DIE FOR.

HMM.

Narrator: YEP, CABIN NUMBER 3 HAS A SOUND SYSTEM TO DIE FOR.

THIS IS INTERESTING.

Narrator: YEP, CABIN NUMBER 3 HAS A SOUND SYSTEM TO DIE FOR.

I CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY.

Narrator: YEP, CABIN NUMBER 3 HAS A SOUND SYSTEM TO DIE FOR.

I DO FEEL LIKE THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON IN ME.

Narrator: YEP, CABIN NUMBER 3 HAS A SOUND SYSTEM TO DIE FOR.

IT FEELS LIKE I HAVE BUTTERFLIES IN MY STOMACH

Narrator: YEP, CABIN NUMBER 3 HAS A SOUND SYSTEM TO DIE FOR.

OR I'M REALLY TIRED BUT I'VE HAD TOO MUCH COFFEE.

Narrator: YEP, CABIN NUMBER 3 HAS A SOUND SYSTEM TO DIE FOR.

IT'S -- IT' SORT OF ANXIETY-PRODUCING.

Narrator: YEP, CABIN NUMBER 3 HAS A SOUND SYSTEM TO DIE FOR.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT FEAR, BUT IT'S UNNERVING.

Narrator: YEP, CABIN NUMBER 3 HAS A SOUND SYSTEM TO DIE FOR.

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

[ SNIFFING ]

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

ALL RIGHT, SO THIS IS A CLASSIC FOR THE HALLOWEEN SPECIAL.

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

WHAT IS IT?

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

THE SMELL OF FEAR. WHAT ABOUT IT?

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

WELL, THE FANS WANT TO KNOW, IS IT JUST A HOLLYWOOD TAGLINE --

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

THE SMELL OF FEAR! --

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

OR IS THERE A DETECTABLE SCENT THAT HUMANS GIVE OFF

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

WHEN THEY'RE SCARED?

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

THAT MEANS WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO GET SCARED FOR THIS, DOESN'T IT?

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

YOU BETCHA.

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

UGH.

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

SO NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS.

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

Narrator: THIS IS A MYTH STRAIGHT OUT OF SCHLOCK HORROR.

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

[ SCREAMS ]

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

Narrator: BUT DOES THE STICKY SWEAT OF FEAR

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

REALLY HAVE AN AROMA OF ANXIETY?

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

AND WOULD THAT STINK BE WHIFFY ENOUGH

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

FOR A HUMAN NOSE TO SNIFF IT OUT?

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

SO, IF THERE IS A SMELL OF FEAR,

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

IT MUST BE SOMETHING SECRETED IN SWEAT.

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

EXACTLY. SO WHY DON'T WE SET UP AN EXPERIMENT

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

WHERE WE'RE COLLECTING NORMAL SWEAT

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

AS WE'RE EXERCISING AS A CONTROL.

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

AND THEN WE'LL COLLECT MORE SWEAT WHILE WE'RE BEING SCARED.

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

THEN WE TAKE THOSE SAMPLES, BRING IN SOME VOLUNTEERS,

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

AND SEE IF THEY CAN SMELL THE DIFFERENCE

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

BETWEEN FEAR AND NON-FEAR SWEAT.

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

COOL. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

IT MEANS WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO DEVISE SOME KIND OF TORTURE

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

FOR OUR FEAR-SWEAT SAMPLES.

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

WELL, YOU REMEMBER COLD FEET?

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

HOW COULD I FORGET?

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

WELL, APPARENTLY, OUR FANS ARE DEMENTED,

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

AND THEY WANT TO TORTURE US WITH MORE CREEPY CRAWLIES,

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

SO THEY'VE COME UP WITH A LIST OF THINGS,

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

WE'RE GONNA PICK THREE,

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

AND THEN EACH OF US WILL PICK ONE OUT OF A HAT.

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

SORT OF LIKE A SICK AND TWISTED LOTTERY

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

WHERE NONE OF US REALLY WINS?

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

GREAT. I CAN HARDLY WAIT.

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

BUT BEFORE WE GET TO THAT,

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

WE SHOULD GET OUT THE TREADMILLS

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

SO THAT WE CAN GET OUR CONTROL SAMPLES.

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

GOOD IDEA -- STALL AS LONG AS WE CAN.

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

YEAH.

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

Narrator: YEP, IT'S TIME

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

TO GET A LITTLE STEAMY AND SWEATY FOR SCIENCE.

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

OKAY, TIME TO COLLECT YOUR SWEAT SAMPLE.

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

YEAH, GET IN THERE, GUYS.

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

NO, YOU PUT YOUR SWEAT-CAPTURING PADS ON YOURSELF.

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

BE MY GUEST. NO.

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

Narrator: ULTIMATELY, THEY'LL PIT THIS EXERCISE SWEAT

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

AGAINST THEIR SCARED SECRETIONS.

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

[ "ROCKY"-LIKE MUSIC PLAYS ]

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

EYE OF THE TIGER, BABY.

Narrator: NEXT UP, THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE ON THE SCENT.

IT'S DEFINITELY "DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME."

THIS IS ADVANCED.

IT'S DEFINITELY "DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME."

AND THE BEST PART IS, I'M NOT AFRAID AT ALL.

IT'S DEFINITELY "DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME."

SO THIS IS JUST PURE SWEAT.

IT'S DEFINITELY "DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME."

Narrator: IT'S A PURE AND, UH, RELAXED EXPERIMENT...

IT'S DEFINITELY "DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME."

GRANT, THINK ABOUT ROBOTS AND PUPPIES.

IT'S DEFINITELY "DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME."

Narrator: ...TO SWEAT OUT A CONTROL BASELINE.

IT'S DEFINITELY "DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME."

YOU'RE ALMOST HALFWAY THERE! KEEP IT GOING!

IT'S DEFINITELY "DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME."

YOU GOT IT, COACH! I WON'T LET YOU DOWN!

IT'S DEFINITELY "DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME."

AND AFTER EACH MYTHBUSTER

IT'S DEFINITELY "DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME."

HAS POUNDED THE TREADMILL FOR 20 MINUTES,

IT'S DEFINITELY "DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME."

THEY'VE GOT A BEAD ON EXERCISE PERSPIRATION.

IT'S DEFINITELY "DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME."

NICE WORK, KARI.

IT'S DEFINITELY "DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME."

OFF TO THE FREEZER.

IT'S DEFINITELY "DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME."

SO, WE'VE BEEN TOLD BY OUR EXPERTS

IT'S DEFINITELY "DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME."

THAT IT'S CRITICAL THAT OUR SAMPLES DON'T DEGRADE,

IT'S DEFINITELY "DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME."

AND THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT IS TO PUT IT IN THE FREEZER.

IT'S DEFINITELY "DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME."

THIS IS TO KEEP THEM FRESH.

IT'S DEFINITELY "DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME."

Narrator: WITH THE CONTROL EXERCISE SWEAT CHILLING OUT,

IT'S DEFINITELY "DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME."

IT'S NOW TIME TO ENTER THE LITTLE WORKSHOP OF HORRORS

IT'S DEFINITELY "DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME."

FOR THEIR TRIAL BY FEAR.

IT'S DEFINITELY "DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME."

NEXT UP, WE TEST THE MYTH OF THE SMELL OF FEAR.

IT'S DEFINITELY "DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME."

WE'RE EACH GOING TO LAY IN A COFFIN

IT'S DEFINITELY "DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME."

AND SUBJECT OURSELVES TO DIFFERENT CREEPY CRAWLIES.

IT'S DEFINITELY "DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME."

I AM NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS EXPERIMENT AT ALL.

IT'S TIME FOR THE "MYTHBUSTERS" HALLOWEEN SPECIAL.

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

HELLO, OR SHOULD I SAY...

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

[ Deep voice ] HELLOOO?

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

[ Normal voice ] IT'S THE "MYTHBUSTERS" HALLOWEEN SPECIAL,

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

AND WE ARE TESTING THE STORY CURRENTLY

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

THAT THERE IS A CERTAIN FREQUENCY OF SOUND

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

TOO LOW FOR THE HUMAN EAR TO HEAR

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

THAT CAN STILL MAKE PEOPLE FEEL UNEASY

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

AND LEAD THEM TO BELIEVE THAT A PLACE IS HAUNTED.

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

WE'VE SET UP FOUR IDENTICAL HOUSES,

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

BUT ONLY ONE OF THEM

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

WILL BE GETTING THE SUBAURAL SOUND TREATMENT.

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

I AM SITTING ON THAT TREATMENT.

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

THIS IS A STACK OF 40,000 WATTS OF SPEAKERS

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

THAT WILL PRODUCE A SOUND THAT MOST PEOPLE CAN'T HEAR.

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

WILL IT MAKE THEM FEEL LIKE THIS HOUSE IS HAUNTED?

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

[ LAUGHS EVILLY ]

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

I REALLY DON'T KNOW.

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

Narrator: WELL, YOU'RE ABOUT TO FIND OUT,

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

AS THE FIRST SET OF OUR 10 VOLUNTEERS HAS ARRIVED

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

FOR A VERY STRANGE MEET AND GREET.

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

HOWDY.

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

IN ORDER TO PUT OUR TEST SUBJECTS

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

IN THE PROPER FRAME OF MIND FOR THIS EXPERIMENT,

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

WE WANT THEM JUST A LITTLE BIT SPOOKED,

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

AND IN THAT VEIN, WE'RE HAVING A LOCAL GROUNDSKEEPER

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

GIVE THEM THE LOWDOWN ON WHAT THEY CAN EXPECT

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

WHEN THEY'RE PARTICIPATING IN THIS EXPERIMENT.

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

HE'S GONNA TELL THEM THAT,

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

OF THE FOUR CABINS THEY'RE LOOKING AT,

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

ONE OF THEM HAD SOMETHING BAD HAPPEN IN IT,

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

BUT IT'S ALL TOTALLY MADE UP.

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

EVEN THE GROUNDSKEEPER IS MADE UP.

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

WE'VE GOT 130 CABINS UP HERE.

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

Narrator: HE IS,

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

ALTHOUGH SOMETHING ABOUT HIM SEEMS STRANGELY FAMILIAR.

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

YOU'RE GONNA LOOK AT FOUR OF THEM.

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

IN ONE OF THOSE FOUR, SOMETHING BAD HAPPENED.

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

NOW, WE'D LIKE TO KNOW IF YOU'RE SENSITIVE ENOUGH

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

TO TELL US WHICH ONE.

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

THANK YOU.

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

Narrator: NOW, REMEMBER,

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

THE 19-HERTZ FREQUENCY IS TOO LOW

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

TO BE DETECTED BY THE HUMAN EAR.

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

BUT WILL THE WAVE PRODUCED BE SO UNSETTLING

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

THAT IT CONVINCES OUR VOLUNTEERS THAT CABIN 3 IS HAUNTED?

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

SHALL WE UNLEASH THE CONTESTANTS ON OUR FEAR PARADE?

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

ONE AT A TIME.

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

OKAY.

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

LET'S BRING OUT THE FIRST CONTESTANT.

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

AND THAT FIRST CONTESTANT IS TIFFANY,

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

WHO HEADS TO CABIN NUMBER 1...

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

[ DOOR CREAKS ]

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

YES, WE'RE STARING AT YOU.

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

WE'RE ALL STARING AT YOU.

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

[ LAUGHING ]

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT?

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

...WHERE SHE SITS SILENTLY FOR THREE MINUTES,

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

UNTIL ADAM GIVES THE COMMAND TO MOVE TO CABIN 2.

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

3, 2...

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

[ AIR HORN BLOWS ]

THREE MINUTES IN AND HER ARACHNID FRIENDS

[ LAUGHING ]

IT'S LIKE A REMOTE-CONTROL TOY.

[ LAUGHING ]

SWITCHING TO FEED NUMBER 2.

[ LAUGHING ]

AND THEN, AFTER ANOTHER THREE-MINUTE SIT,

[ LAUGHING ]

SHE MOVES ON TO CABIN NUMBER 3.

[ LAUGHING ]

SWITCHING TO FEED NUMBER 3.

[ LAUGHING ]

CONFIRM FOR ME THAT THE SOUND'S ON.

[ LAUGHING ]

Man: SOUND IS ON.

[ LAUGHING ]

GOOD WORK. THANK YOU.

[ LAUGHING ]

AS FAR AS TIFFANY IS CONCERNED,

[ LAUGHING ]

IT'S THE SOUND OF SILENCE.

[ LAUGHING ]

BUT DOES THE SUBAURAL SOUND WAVE INDUCE FEAR?

[ LAUGHING ]

15 SECONDS.

[ LAUGHING ]

WELL, IT CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE SHE'S NOTICED SOMETHING.

AND AFTER A FINAL THREE MINUTES BEHIND DOOR NUMBER 4,

WELL, IT CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE SHE'S NOTICED SOMETHING.

THE QUESTION IS, WHICH CABIN WILL SHE PICK?

WELL, IT CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE SHE'S NOTICED SOMETHING.

IF YOU HAD TO PICK ONE OF THESE FOUR CABINS AS THE SPOOKIEST,

WELL, IT CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE SHE'S NOTICED SOMETHING.

WHICH ONE WOULD YOU PICK? 2.

WELL, IT CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE SHE'S NOTICED SOMETHING.

CAN YOU SAY WHY? DO YOU KNOW WHY?

WELL, IT CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE SHE'S NOTICED SOMETHING.

IT JUST -- IT JUST FELT WEIRD.

WELL, IT CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE SHE'S NOTICED SOMETHING.

FELT A LITTLE LIGHTHEADED WHEN I WALKED IN, BUT...

WELL, IT CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE SHE'S NOTICED SOMETHING.

IT JUST FELT REALLY WEIRD.

WELL, IT CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE SHE'S NOTICED SOMETHING.

TIFFANY WASN'T WEIRDED OUT BY THE SOUND,

WELL, IT CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE SHE'S NOTICED SOMETHING.

BUT SHE'S JUST THE START,

WELL, IT CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE SHE'S NOTICED SOMETHING.

AS EACH VOLUNTEER IS KLAXONED THROUGH THE CABINS.

WELL, IT CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE SHE'S NOTICED SOMETHING.

[ AIR HORN BLOWS ]

WELL, IT CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE SHE'S NOTICED SOMETHING.

SO, WHICH HOUSE?

WELL, IT CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE SHE'S NOTICED SOMETHING.

2.

WELL, IT CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE SHE'S NOTICED SOMETHING.

I'D HAVE TO SAY IT'D BE 1.

WELL, IT CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE SHE'S NOTICED SOMETHING.

Adam: NUMBER 1.

WELL, IT CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE SHE'S NOTICED SOMETHING.

ALL RIGHT. EXCELLENT.

WELL, IT CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE SHE'S NOTICED SOMETHING.

BUT SO FAR, THEIR INTUITION

WELL, IT CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE SHE'S NOTICED SOMETHING.

ISN'T PICKING THE FREAKY FREQUENCY IN CABIN NUMBER 3.

WELL, IT CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE SHE'S NOTICED SOMETHING.

Jamie: WELL, WE'RE HALFWAY THROUGH OUR TESTING,

WELL, IT CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE SHE'S NOTICED SOMETHING.

AND SO FAR, HOUSE NUMBER 3, THE ONE WITH THE SOUND,

WELL, IT CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE SHE'S NOTICED SOMETHING.

IS NOT OUTSTANDING IN ANY WAY.

WELL, IT CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE SHE'S NOTICED SOMETHING.

IT'S NOT LOOKING GOOD FOR SPOOKY SOUNDS.

WELL, IT CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE SHE'S NOTICED SOMETHING.

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

IF THERE IS A NOT-SO-SWEET SMELL OF FEAR,

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

AND, IF IT EXISTS, CAN ANYBODY NOSE IT OUT?

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

WELL, TO FIND OUT,

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

KARI'S BEEN TRAPPED IN A SARCOPHAGUS FULL OF SCORPIONS.

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

AAH!

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

Narrator: BECAUSE FOR THIS TEST,

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

IT'S VITAL THAT THE TEAM FEELS THE FEAR.

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

ONCE WE ARE DONE TORTURING EACH OTHER IN THE COFFIN

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

AND COLLECTING THE FEAR SWEAT,

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

THEN WE ARE GONNA TAKE OUR CONTROL SWEAT

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

AND OUR FEAR SWEAT AND LET VOLUNTEERS SMELL BOTH OF THEM

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

AND SEE IF THEY CAN SMELL THE FEAR.

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

[ LAUGHS EVILLY ]

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

Narrator: AND TORY IS NEXT.

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

SO, WHAT FAN-REQUESTED NIGHTMARE LURKS IN HIS FEAR FUTURE?

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

Grant: OKAY, OWEN. BRING ON THE SNAKES!

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

ONE BY ONE, 20 SNAKES ARE SLITHERED OUT ONTO TORY.

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

AAH!

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

OH, CRAP.

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

Kari: OH, MY GOSH.

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

I'M JUST GONNA LAY THIS DOWN RIGHT HERE.

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

Kari: AAH!

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

[ GRANT LAUGHING ]

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

THESE ARE THE SMALL ONES?

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

Mertz: THESE ARE THE LITTLE ONES.

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

OH, MY GOD.

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

OH, GOD! IT'S SO BIG. IT'S SO BIG!

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

NOW WE'RE DONE.

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

Narrator: AND AS THE TIMER STARTS,

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

TORY'S ANXIETY IS CLEAR.

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

I'M TIRED OF MY MONKEY-FIGHTING SNAKES IN THIS MONKEY--

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

IT'S GOING IN MY SHIRT! OH, MAN!

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

Narrator: BUT AS MORE SNAKES SEEK OUT HIS BODY HEAT,

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

TORY STARTS TO REALLY LOSE HIS COOL...

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

[ SNAKES HISSING ]

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

Grant: DON'T MOVE YOUR CHIN.

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

HE JUST WANTS TO SAY HI.

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

OH, MY GOSH.

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

Mertz: HE'S GONNA KISS.

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

Grant: HE'S GONNA GIVE YOU LITTLE KISSES.

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

HE WANTS KISSES.

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

Narrator: ...UNTIL, FINALLY, SEVEN MINUTES ARE UP,

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

AND TORY CAN'T WAIT TO GET EVERY LAST SNAKE

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

BACK WHERE IT BELONGS.

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

HE IS MY FRIEND, ALL RIGHT.

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

HE'S DOWN MY SH-- YEAH, HE'S IN THERE.

Narrator: KARI, TORY, AND GRANT ARE SNIFFING OUT

OHH. [ GROANS ]

Narrator: SO, WITH TORY'S SWEAT ON ICE,

THE LUCKY LAST TO FACE HIS TRIAL BY TERROR IS GRANT.

Narrator: SO, WITH TORY'S SWEAT ON ICE,

AND THE BAD NEWS IS...RATS!

Narrator: SO, WITH TORY'S SWEAT ON ICE,

OKAY, I'M READY TO DO THIS.

Narrator: SO, WITH TORY'S SWEAT ON ICE,

Narrator: 50 RODENTS ARE PILED UP ON GRANT,

Narrator: SO, WITH TORY'S SWEAT ON ICE,

AND THEN KARI ASKS THE QUESTION

Narrator: SO, WITH TORY'S SWEAT ON ICE,

GRANT DIDN'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT.

Narrator: SO, WITH TORY'S SWEAT ON ICE,

CAN THEY BURROW IN THROUGH CLOTHING?

Narrator: SO, WITH TORY'S SWEAT ON ICE,

Mertz: THEY CAN BURROW THROUGH CLOTHING.

Narrator: SO, WITH TORY'S SWEAT ON ICE,

THEY CAN BURROW THROUGH WALLS. THEY CAN BURROW THROUGH FLOORS.

Narrator: SO, WITH TORY'S SWEAT ON ICE,

THERE'S VERY LITTLE IN THIS WORLD THAT'LL STOP A RAT.

Narrator: SO, WITH TORY'S SWEAT ON ICE,

INITIALLY, IT SEEMS THAT GRANT IS BEING PESTERED

Narrator: SO, WITH TORY'S SWEAT ON ICE,

BUT HE'S NOT PERTURBED.

Narrator: SO, WITH TORY'S SWEAT ON ICE,

OH, IT'S BURROWING! OHH! [ LAUGHS ]

Narrator: SO, WITH TORY'S SWEAT ON ICE,

Tory: WHERE IS IT BURROWING?

Narrator: SO, WITH TORY'S SWEAT ON ICE,

OHH. AAH! [ LAUGHING ]

Narrator: SO, WITH TORY'S SWEAT ON ICE,

[ Laughing ] I THINK HE LIKES IT.

MAYBE WE SHOULD LEAVE HIM ALONE.

[ Laughing ] I THINK HE LIKES IT.

OH, GOD! GET IT OUT!

[ Laughing ] I THINK HE LIKES IT.

SHOULD WE LEAVE YOU ALONE?

[ Laughing ] I THINK HE LIKES IT.

Narrator: BUT AS THE TIME TICKS ON,

[ Laughing ] I THINK HE LIKES IT.

WITH THE SHEER QUANTITY OF RATS, THE TERROR TAKES HOLD.

[ Laughing ] I THINK HE LIKES IT.

YOU'RE ALL RIGHT. BREATHE. JUST BREATHE.

[ Laughing ] I THINK HE LIKES IT.

YEAH, BREATHE. BREATHE.

[ Laughing ] I THINK HE LIKES IT.

THERE YOU GO.

[ Laughing ] I THINK HE LIKES IT.

AND, FINALLY, AFTER SEVEN MINUTES OF RAT ATTACK,

[ Laughing ] I THINK HE LIKES IT.

THE RODENTS ARE ROUNDED UP...

[ Laughing ] I THINK HE LIKES IT.

AND GRANT'S TORTURE IS TERMINATED.

[ Laughing ] I THINK HE LIKES IT.

Grant: UGH, IT WAS...

[ Laughing ] I THINK HE LIKES IT.

IT WAS SCARY BECAUSE IT FELT LIKE THEY WERE BITING MY HANDS,

[ Laughing ] I THINK HE LIKES IT.

LIKE GNAWING ON MY HANDS.

[ Laughing ] I THINK HE LIKES IT.

AND THEN THEY WERE TRYING TO BURROW INTO DIFFERENT PLACES.

[ Laughing ] I THINK HE LIKES IT.

IT WAS NOT GOOD. NOT GOOD.

[ Laughing ] I THINK HE LIKES IT.

SOMEBODY HOSE GRANT OFF, PLEASE.

[ Laughing ] I THINK HE LIKES IT.

[ GROANS ]

NOW, THERE'S NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT ALL OF US WERE SCARED.

[ GROANS ]

[ GROANING ]

[ GROANS ]

BUT THE REAL QUESTION IS,

[ GROANS ]

THE SWEAT THAT WE INDUCED IN THIS EXPERIMENT,

[ GROANS ]

WILL OUR VOLUNTEERS BE ABLE TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE

[ GROANS ]

BETWEEN THIS SWEAT AND THE SWEAT WE CREATED IN THE CONTROL TEST?

[ GROANS ]

YOU EVER SEEN THEM DRAG DEAD BODIES AROUND IN THE MOVIES?

[ GROANS ]

WELL, COMING UP ON A VERY SPECIAL

[ GROANS ]

HALLOWEEN EPISODE OF "MYTHBUSTERS,"

[ GROANS ]

JAMIE AND I DO EXACTLY THAT -- FIND OUT HOW HARD IT REALLY IS.

[ GROANS ]

Narrator: IT'S DIAL "M" FOR "MYTHBUSTERS"

[ GROANS ]

IN THE SPOOKTASTIC HALLOWEEN SPECIAL.

[ GROANS ]

WHAT SCARES ADAM? I DO.

[ GROANS ]

AND THERE'S STILL MORE TRICKS AND TREATS TO COME.

[ GROANS ]

THAT'S THE ONE!

[ GROANS ]

I'LL TAKE THIS ONE, PLEASE. WRAP IT UP.

[ GROANS ]

MEANWHILE, BACK AT THE CABINS IN THE WOODS,

[ GROANS ]

IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENED.

[ GROANS ]

IT DIDN'T, BUT THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE TESTING

IF A FREAKY FREQUENCY

IT DIDN'T, BUT THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE TESTING

CAN PERSUADE THEIR VOLUNTEERS IT DID.

IT DIDN'T, BUT THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE TESTING

Adam: WHICH ONE FELT THE SPOOKIEST?

IT DIDN'T, BUT THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE TESTING

2.

IT DIDN'T, BUT THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE TESTING

SO FAR, NONE OF THE VOLUNTEERS HAVE PICKED CABIN 3

IT DIDN'T, BUT THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE TESTING

AND ITS HAUNTED 19-HERTZ HUM.

IT DIDN'T, BUT THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE TESTING

BUT IT SEEMS AS THOUGH CANDIDATE SIX IS SLIGHTLY SPOOKED.

IT DIDN'T, BUT THE MYTHBUSTERS ARE TESTING

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

IT'S KIND OF FREAKY."

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

Jamie: WHICH HOUSE DO YOU THINK WAS HAUNTED?

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

IF I HAD TO PICK ONE, IT'D PROBABLY BE CABIN 3, I THINK.

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

WHAT WAS IT ABOUT IT THAT CAUGHT YOUR ATTENTION?

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

I DON'T KNOW.

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

JUST THE WAY THAT THE FLOORING LOOKED

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

AND EVERYTHING INSIDE THERE.

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

MAYBE WALKING AROUND INSIDE THERE, FEELING IT,

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

FELT A LITTLE DIFFERENT, THOUGH, YEAH.

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

ONE VOLUNTEER SENSED THE SOUND.

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

BUT WILL THAT TREND CONTINUE INTO THE FINAL FOUR?

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

SO, YOUR FINAL CHOICE IS...?

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

3. NUMBER 3.

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

SO THAT'S TWO STRIKES FOR CABIN 3.

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

BUT AS THE TEST CONTINUES...

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

UM, I GUESS MAYBE IT WOULD HAVE TO BE 1.

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

...NUMBER 1 IS STILL NUMBER 1 ON THE SPOOKY CHART.

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

I WOULD SAY NUMBER 1. FANTASTIC.

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

AND THAT, IT SEEMS, IS THE FINAL NAIL IN THE COFFIN

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

FOR THIS FREQUENCY OF FEAR.

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

10 TESTS, 10 TEST SUBJECTS,

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

AND I THINK WE CAN DEFINITIVELY STATE THAT CABIN 3,

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

THE SOUND WE PUT THROUGH IT,

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

DID NOT MAKE IT THE SPOOKIEST CABIN.

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

IF ANYTHING, CABIN 1 WAS THE SPOOKIEST CABIN,

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

CABIN 4, THE LEAST SPOOKY.

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

NOW, THIS COULD BE BECAUSE OF ONE OF TWO REASONS --

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

EITHER BECAUSE WE HAD EVERYONE

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

ENTER THE CABINS IN NUMERICAL ORDER,

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

THE NEWNESS OF THE EXPERIMENT

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

AND THE WEIRDNESS OF SITTING ALONE IN A ROOM FOR TWO MINUTES

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

MADE THEM THE MOST FRIGHTENED AT THE BEGINNING

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

AND THE LEAST FRIGHTENED AT THE END.

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

THE OTHER REASON IS THAT CABIN 1 COULD ACTUALLY BE HAUNTED,

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

BUT I DON'T THINK SO.

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

[ WOMAN SCREAMING ]

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

HOW DO YOU WANT TO CALL THIS ONE?

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

WELL, NUMBER 3 DIDN'T GET A HIGHER SCORE

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

THAN ANY OF THE OTHERS,

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

SO I GUESS THE TONE DIDN'T SPOOK ANYBODY.

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

19 HERTZ WAS DEFINITELY NOT THE SOUND OF FEAR.

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

WHAT IS THAT OVER THERE?

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

OH! THIS WAY!

HE JUST SAID, "I'VE GOT THE WEIRDEST FEELING.

BUT DOES THAT TROUBLE HAVE A NOSE?

IS THERE REALLY A DETECTABLE SCENT OF FEAR?

AFTER THEIR CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE CREEPY KIND,

THE MYTHBUSTERS HAVE SOME SERIOUSLY SCARED SWEAT SAMPLES.

SO, FOR OUR SMELL OF FEAR EXPERIMENT,

IT'LL BE DOUBLE BLIND,

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

MEANING NEITHER THE VOLUNTEERS NOR TORY,

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

WHO'S ADMINISTERING THE TEST, WILL KNOW WHAT SAMPLE IS WHAT.

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

NOW, EACH VOLUNTEER WILL BE GIVEN TWO JARS -- "A" AND A "B."

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

THERE ARE FOUR POSSIBILITIES --

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

EITHER "A" HAS THE FEAR, "B" HAS THE FEAR,

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

THEY BOTH HAVE THE FEAR, OR NEITHER HAS FEAR IN IT.

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

WHAT'LL HAPPEN IS THEY'LL MARK DOWN THEIR RESULT,

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

AND, AT THE END, WE'LL TALLY EVERYTHING AND SEE HOW THEY DID.

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

Narrator: ONE BY ONE, THE SECRETION SNIFFERS ARE BROUGHT IN.

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

TAKE A NICE, DEEP BREATH.

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

AND LIKE AN OLFACTORY FACTORY LINE, THE TEST RUNS SMOOTHLY,

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

AND THE VOLUNTEERS NOSE OUT THAT AROMA OF ANXIETY.

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

SO WE'RE HALFWAY DONE, AND THE GOOD NEWS IS,

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

WE'VE GOT THREE RIGHT.

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

THE BAD NEWS IS THAT'S OUT OF 36,

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

SO IT'S NOT LOOKING GOOD FOR THE MYTH SO FAR.

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

Narrator: IT'S NOT LOOKING GOOD,

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

AND AFTER ANOTHER 6 VOLUNTEERS AND 36 TESTS...

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

I THINK MY NOSTRIL HAIRS ARE STARTING TO BURN.

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

[ CHUCKLES ]

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

...IT SEEMS THAT WHEN IT COMES TO SMELLING FEAR,

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

IT'S NOT AS EASY AS THE MYTH WOULD HAVE YOU BELIEVE.

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

Grant: NOW, REMEMBER, WE HAD 12 VOLUNTEERS.

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

WE PUT THEM THROUGH SIX TESTS EACH.

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

NOW, LET'S JUST SAY, HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING...

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

IF THEY WERE RANDOMLY GUESSING --

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

JUST WRITING DOWN ANY NUMBER THAT THEY THOUGHT,

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

THEY'D HAVE A ONE-IN-FOUR CHANCE OF GETTING THE RIGHT ANSWER.

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

AVERAGED OVER SIX TESTS, THAT GIVES YOU 1.5,

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

OR SOMEWHERE BETWEEN ONE AND TWO RIGHT ANSWERS.

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

OUR VOLUNTEERS GOT SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 1 AND 2 RIGHT ANSWERS.

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

SO, BASICALLY, THEY DIDN'T DO ANY BETTER

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

THAN IF THEY WERE RANDOMLY GUESSING.

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

WELL, IF THERE IS A SMELL TO FEAR,

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

THE AVERAGE PERSON CAN'T SMELL IT.

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

Narrator: CLEARLY, THE AVERAGE NOSE

CHARACTERS IN HORROR MOVIES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

IS ALTOGETHER TOO AVERAGE TO SMELL THE FEAR.

BUT WHAT ABOUT AN EXPERT NOSE?

HAVE THEY TOLD YOU WHERE WE'VE COLLECTED OUR SAMPLES FROM?

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

BUT UNLIKE THE VOLUNTEERS,

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

PAMELA SEEMS TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT SHE'S SMELLING.

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

THAT'S A TRUE PROFESSIONAL AT WORK.

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

IN FACT, AFTER SIX TESTS, THE RESULTS ARE STARTLING.

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

THAT'S FIVE OUT OF SIX!

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

DUDE, THAT'S 83%.

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

THERE'S NO GUESSING INVOLVED HERE -- SHE KNOWS.

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

YEP, BECAUSE THE CHANCES OF PAMELA GUESSING RIGHT

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

FIVE OUT OF SIX TIMES ARE 3 IN 1,000,

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

WHICH MEANS THIS MYTH JUST WON A REPRIEVE.

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

Tory: CLEARLY, PAMELA ACED THAT TEST,

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

BUT NOW WE WANT TO PUT HER NOSE TO THE ULTIMATE CHALLENGE.

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

WE WANT TO SEE IF SHE CAN PICK OUT ONE FEAR SAMPLE AMONGST 20.

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

NOW, UNFORTUNATELY, THAT FEAR SAMPLE HAS TO COME FROM SOMEONE,

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

AND THAT SOMEONE TURNS OUT TO BE ME.

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

LOOKS LIKE KARI AND GRANT ARE GONNA GET A CHANCE

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

TO SCARE THE CRAP OUT OF ME.

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

BUSTING MYTHS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS WORK,

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

AND WE ARE TRAINED PROFESSIONALS,

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

SO PLEASE DO NOT TRY ANYTHING YOU SEE ON THIS SHOW AT HOME,

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

OR ANYWHERE, FOR THAT MATTER.

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

Narrator: NEXT, ADAM AND JAMIE HAVE A MYTH OF GRAVE CONCERN.

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

SO, HOW DO YOU WANT TO TEST DEAD-BODY DISPOSAL?

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

WELL, YOU KNOW, IN THE MOVIES,

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

THEY'RE ALWAYS MAKING LIKE IT'S SO EASY

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

TO DRAG THESE BODIES AROUND.

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

THEY'RE PULLING THEM UP STAIRS, PUTTING THEM IN CLOSETS...

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

RIGHT. THEY ROLL THEM UP IN A CARPET

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

AND SHOVE THEM IN THE TRUNK OF A CAR.

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

SO WHY DON'T WE SET UP SOME SORT OF AN OBSTACLE COURSE

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

WHERE WE DO THAT WITH THESE BODIES?

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

DEAD-BODY-DISPOSAL OLYMPICS -- I LOVE IT.

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

YOU KNOW WHAT WE SHOULD FINISH WITH?

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

DIGGING A SHALLOW GRAVE.

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

THEY ALWAYS MAKE THAT LOOK LIKE IT HAPPENS

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

IN JUST A FEW MINUTES IN THE MOVIES,

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

AND I'LL BET IT'S HARDER.

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

BUT THE THING IS THAT, YOU KNOW,

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

THIS ISN'T JUST ABOUT THE WEIGHT.

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

IT'S ALSO ABOUT THE SHAPE OF THESE BODIES,

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

SO WE REALLY NEED TO HAVE A PRETTY GOOD HUMAN ANALOGUE.

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

YOU'RE TOTALLY RIGHT.

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

THE HOLLYWOOD BODY OF EVIDENCE IS CLEAR --

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

MOVING, HIDING, AND DISPOSING -- IT'S ALL DEAD EASY.

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

BUT COULD YOU ACTUALLY CARRY IT OFF IN REALITY?

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

WELL, TO FIND THAT OUT...

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

ARE YOU READY FOR THE HORROR? DUN DUN DUN!

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

Narrator: ...THEY'VE GOT THIS --

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

A SUPER-REALISTIC SIMULATED CADAVER, OR SynDaver.

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

OUR SynDaver IS A FANTASTIC HUMAN ANALOGUE,

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

BUT I'M GONNA WRAP HIM IN SOME CLING WRAP

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

JUST TO KEEP ALL HIS BITS TOGETHER.

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

Narrator: WITH THE 150-POUND SynDaver ALL WRAPPED UP,

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

THE DRESS CODE IS JOHN DOE.

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

Adam: EXCELLENT.

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

THERE WE GO.

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

[ GRUNTING ]

ENTER PAMELA DALTON,

Narrator: THEN IT'S OFF TO AN ABANDONED WAREHOUSE,

WHERE THEIR CLASSIC CRIME-SCENE OBSTACLE COURSE AWAITS.

Narrator: THEN IT'S OFF TO AN ABANDONED WAREHOUSE,

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE STATIONS

OF OUR DEAD-BODY-DISPOSAL TEST.

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE STATIONS

IT ALL BEGINS HERE AT "THE LAST SUPPER,"

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE STATIONS

WHERE OUR BODY LIES DEAD AT A TABLE, HAVING BEEN POISONED.

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE STATIONS

WE WILL THEN DRAG AND TRANSFER OUR BODY FROM THE TABLE --

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE STATIONS

I SAID "WE WILL TRANSFER THE BODY"...

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE STATIONS

...FROM THE TABLE

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE STATIONS

OVER TO THE "SKELETONS IN THE CLOSET" STATION.

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE STATIONS

IN THIS, WE SHOVE THE BODY IN A CLOSET -- GO ON --

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE STATIONS

UNTIL WE CAN CLOSE THE DOOR.

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE STATIONS

ONCE WE CAN CLOSE THE DOOR, WE'RE DONE WITH THAT.

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE STATIONS

WE OPEN IT BACK UP, DRAG THE BODY BACK OUT,

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE STATIONS

AND IT'S TIME FOR "DEFENESTRATION."

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE STATIONS

NOW, DEFENESTRATION MEANS

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE STATIONS

TO THROW SOMETHING THROUGH A WINDOW -- GO ON.

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE STATIONS

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO HERE --

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE STATIONS

WE'RE GONNA THROW THE BODY THROUGH THE WINDOW.

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE STATIONS

NICE WORK!

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE STATIONS

ONCE IT'S THROUGH THE WINDOW,

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE STATIONS

IT'S TIME FOR THE "STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN."

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE STATIONS

IN THE "STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN,"

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE STATIONS

WE DRAG THE BODY UP THE STAIRS --

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE STATIONS

YOU'VE SEEN THAT IN THE MOVIES --

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE STATIONS

ACROSS THE PLATFORM,

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE STATIONS

THEN WE DRAG THE BODY BACK DOWN THE STAIRS.

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE STATIONS

ONCE WE'VE GOTTEN THE BODY

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE STATIONS

THROUGH THE "STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN" STATION,

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE STATIONS

IT'S TIME FOR "SNUG AS A BUG IN A RUG."

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE STATIONS

GO ON.

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE STATIONS

IN "SNUG AS A BUG IN A RUG," WE ROLL THE BODY IN A CARPET.

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE STATIONS

THAT IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING I'VE SEEN IN COUNTLESS FILMS.

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE STATIONS

ONCE THE BODY IS FULLY ROLLED IN THE CARPET,

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE STATIONS

WE DRAG IT OVER TO THE TRUNK OF A CAR,

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE STATIONS

WHERE WE WILL DRIVE IT SO WE CAN BURY IT IN A SHALLOW GRAVE.

LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE STATIONS

THAT'S THE THIRD ONE.

I'D ASSUME THAT CARRYING AROUND A 150-POUND DUMMY

THAT'S THE THIRD ONE.

IS GONNA BE DIFFICULT BECAUSE IT'S GONNA BE REALLY AWKWARD.

THAT'S THE THIRD ONE.

WITH THAT IN MIND,

THAT'S THE THIRD ONE.

I'VE SET THIS 150-POUND WAD OF CHAIN UP WITH HANDLES ON IT,

THAT'S THE THIRD ONE.

AND WE'LL USE THIS AS A CONTROL

THAT'S THE THIRD ONE.

AND CARRY IT THROUGH OUR OBSTACLE COURSE AS A BASELINE

THAT'S THE THIRD ONE.

AND SEE HOW LONG IT TAKES.

THAT'S THE THIRD ONE.

Narrator: SO, BEFORE THE "STIFF" CHALLENGE,

THAT'S THE THIRD ONE.

THEY'LL GET A CONTROL WITH AN IDENTICAL MASS.

THAT'S THE THIRD ONE.

[ GRUNTS ] OH, THAT'S HEAVY.

THAT'S THE THIRD ONE.

OH, MY GOSH.

THAT'S THE THIRD ONE.

ADAM MAKES IT THROUGH THE DEFENESTRATION EASILY.

THAT'S THE THIRD ONE.

BUT IT PROVES TO BE A WINDOW OF VULNERABILITY FOR THE HYNEMAN.

THAT'S THE THIRD ONE.

[ GRUNTING ]

[ LAUGHING ]

Narrator: AND WHILE JAMIE'S STRUGGLING...

ADAM HAS LURCHED OVER THE STAIRS.

Narrator: AND WHILE JAMIE'S STRUGGLING...

I'M THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST.

Narrator: AS YOU'D EXPECT,

I'M THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST.

MANEUVERING A SOLID 150-POUND WEIGHT

I'M THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST.

TAKES ITS TOLL ON THEM BOTH.

I'M THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST.

[ GRUNTING ]

I'M THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST.

AND THEIR MAFIA STAMINA STARTS TO FADE.

I'M THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO... LIFT THIS.

I'M THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST.

ACTUALLY, HERE WE GO.

I'M THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST.

DRAGGING, DRAGGING...

I'M THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST.

IT TO THE CAR.

I'M THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST.

BUT EVENTUALLY...

I'M THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST.

[ GRUNTS ]

I'M THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST.

TIME!

I'M THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST.

Narrator: ...ADAM MADE IT THROUGH IN JUST OVER THREE MINUTES,

I'M THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST.

AND JAMIE FOLLOWS SHORTLY AFTER.

I'M THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST.

DONE. [ DING! ]

4:33.

DONE. [ DING! ]

THAT'S HARDER THAN IT LOOKS. I LOST IT ON THE WINDOW.

DONE. [ DING! ]

I THINK I SPENT A FULL EXTRA MINUTE THERE.

DONE. [ DING! ]

OTHERWISE, ADAM AND I WOULD HAVE DONE ABOUT THE SAME

DONE. [ DING! ]

AT THREE MINUTES.

DONE. [ DING! ]

I THINK THAT'S A FAIR FIGURE TO APPLY TOWARDS THIS.

DONE. [ DING! ]

Narrator: THOSE ARE THE CONTROL FIGURES,

DONE. [ DING! ]

BUT HOW WILL THEY COMPARE WHEN THEY BRING OUT THEIR DEAD?

DONE. [ DING! ]

SAMPLE "A."

ALTHOUGH THE AVERAGE JOE CAN'T SMELL IT,

SAMPLE "A."

IT SEEMS OUR ODOR AUTHORITY CAN DETECT THE SMELL OF FEAR.

SAMPLE "A."

THAT'S 83%.

SAMPLE "A."

BUT NOW TO PUT THAT EXPERT SCHNOZ TO THE ULTIMATE TEST.

SAMPLE "A."

OH, MY GOD. THESE STAIRS DO NOT STOP.

SAMPLE "A."

Grant: SO, IN ORDER TO COMPLETE OUR EXPERIMENT,

SAMPLE "A."

WE NEED NEW FEAR-SWEAT SAMPLES.

SAMPLE "A."

OUR SAMPLES ARE NO LONGER VIABLE,

SAMPLE "A."

AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE --

SAMPLE "A."

[ Echoing ] AT THE MOANING CAVERN! --

SAMPLE "A."

[ Normal voice ] IN CALAVERAS COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.

SAMPLE "A."

SEE, WE NEED TO TAKE THIS TO THE NEXT LEVEL --

SAMPLE "A."

MORE SCARY THAN SNAKES OR SCORPIONS OR EVEN RATS.

SAMPLE "A."

THIS CAVERN IS 17 STORIES DEEP --

SAMPLE "A."

BASICALLY THE HEIGHT OF THE STATUE OF LIBERTY.

SAMPLE "A."

TORY IS GOING TO RAPPEL DOWN

SAMPLE "A."

THROUGH A TIGHT, DARK SPACE AT THE TOP,

SAMPLE "A."

ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS CAVERN.

SAMPLE "A."

IS IT TOO LATE TO CHANGE MY MIND?

SAMPLE "A."

Narrator: INDEED, TORY'S ACROPHOBIA IS "MYTHBUSTERS" LEGEND.

SAMPLE "A."

OH, MAN.

SAMPLE "A."

THERE'S BEEN BLOOD...

SAMPLE "A."

AND A FEW TEARS...

SAMPLE "A."

...WHICH MAKES HIM THE PERFECT CANDIDATE

FOR THIS ULTIMATE COLD-SWEAT CHALLENGE.

...WHICH MAKES HIM THE PERFECT CANDIDATE

I DON'T KNOW IF I'M GONNA BE ABLE TO DO THIS.

...WHICH MAKES HIM THE PERFECT CANDIDATE

Grant: ALL RIGHT, BUDDY, WE'LL SEE YOU AT THE BOTTOM.

Kari: MAYBE.

Grant: ALL RIGHT, BUDDY, WE'LL SEE YOU AT THE BOTTOM.

Narrator: IT'S ONE SMALL STEP FOR TORY

Grant: ALL RIGHT, BUDDY, WE'LL SEE YOU AT THE BOTTOM.

AND ONE MASSIVE FEAR-INDUCING DESCENT FOR THIS MYTHBUSTER.

Grant: ALL RIGHT, BUDDY, WE'LL SEE YOU AT THE BOTTOM.

YOU CAN DO IT.

Grant: ALL RIGHT, BUDDY, WE'LL SEE YOU AT THE BOTTOM.

SHUT UP.

Grant: ALL RIGHT, BUDDY, WE'LL SEE YOU AT THE BOTTOM.

HE'S ALREADY FREAKING OUT.

Grant: ALL RIGHT, BUDDY, WE'LL SEE YOU AT THE BOTTOM.

WHAAH.

Grant: ALL RIGHT, BUDDY, WE'LL SEE YOU AT THE BOTTOM.

IT'S, LIKE, ALL...TANGLED.

[BLEEP]

I KNOW SOME PEOPLE ENJOY THIS, BUT I'M NOT ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE.

[BLEEP]

Narrator: IT'S ALL WORK AND NO PLAY FOR TORY.

[BLEEP]

I'VE NEVER SEEN TORY PANIC LIKE THIS BEFORE.

[BLEEP]

HE'S COOL IN EVERY SITUATION. HE IS FREAKING OUT.

[BLEEP]

Everybody has to have a weakness.

[BLEEP]

WHO TALKED ME INTO THIS?

[BLEEP]

[BLEEP]

[BLEEP]

Narrator: AND, EVENTUALLY, AFTER 170 FEET OF PURE TERROR...

[BLEEP]

Man: BRING IT OVER. AND YOU'RE ON SOLID GROUND.

[BLEEP]

...HE GETS BACK TO TERRA FIRMA.

[BLEEP]

THAT SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME.

[BLEEP]

THERE WAS A POINT WHERE MY ROPES WERE TANGLED UP THERE,

[BLEEP]

AND MY ARM WAS GETTING CAUGHT IN THE ROPES,

[BLEEP]

AND I STARTED SLIPPING.

[BLEEP]

I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE TERRIFIED ON THIS SHOW

[BLEEP]

THAN THIS MOMENT RIGHT NOW.

[BLEEP]

SO YOU'D TAKE THE SNAKES ANY DAY.

[BLEEP]

I'LL TAKE THE SNAKES ANY DAY.

[BLEEP]

Narrator: WITH TORY'S SAMPLE BAGGED AND TAGGED...

[BLEEP]

INTO THE FREEZER.

[BLEEP]

...IT'S BACK TO THE SHOP.

[BLEEP]

THE JARS ARE LINED UP,

[BLEEP]

AND IT'S TIME TO PUT PAMELA'S NOSE TO THE ULTIMATE TEST.

[BLEEP]

WHERE'S THE FEAR? WHERE'S THE FEAR?

[BLEEP]

WHERE'S THE FEAR? I DON'T KNOW, EITHER.

[BLEEP]

Kari: OKAY, WE HAVE 20 SAMPLES, BUT ONLY ONE IS OUR FEAR SAMPLE.

[BLEEP]

GOOD LUCK.

[BLEEP]

THANK YOU.

[BLEEP]

Narrator: WITH THE SHEER VOLUME OF SWEAT SAMPLES,

Narrator: WITH THE SHEER VOLUME OF SWEAT SAMPLES,

HAS PAMELA SNIFFED OUT TORY'S FEAR?

Narrator: WITH THE SHEER VOLUME OF SWEAT SAMPLES,

Tory: SO IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'VE NARROWED IT DOWN TO THREE.

Narrator: WITH THE SHEER VOLUME OF SWEAT SAMPLES,

DO YOU THINK YOU CAN SMELL FEAR?

Narrator: WITH THE SHEER VOLUME OF SWEAT SAMPLES,

WELL, OF THE THREE THAT I PICKED OUT FIRST,

Narrator: WITH THE SHEER VOLUME OF SWEAT SAMPLES,

I THINK THIS ONE SMELLS THE MOST LIKE FEAR TO ME.

Narrator: WITH THE SHEER VOLUME OF SWEAT SAMPLES,

NUMBER 17. NUMBER 17.

Narrator: WITH THE SHEER VOLUME OF SWEAT SAMPLES,

OKAY, THE FEAR SAMPLE WAS...5.

Narrator: WITH THE SHEER VOLUME OF SWEAT SAMPLES,

OH!

Narrator: WITH THE SHEER VOLUME OF SWEAT SAMPLES,

BUT I HAVE TO SAY, BASED ON THE LAST TEST,

Narrator: WITH THE SHEER VOLUME OF SWEAT SAMPLES,

WHERE YOU GOT 5 OUT OF 6 RIGHT,

Narrator: WITH THE SHEER VOLUME OF SWEAT SAMPLES,

I THINK WE CAN STILL CALL THIS ONE PLAUSIBLE --

Narrator: WITH THE SHEER VOLUME OF SWEAT SAMPLES,

DIFFICULT BUT PLAUSIBLE.

Narrator: WITH THE SHEER VOLUME OF SWEAT SAMPLES,

IT'S DEFINITELY POSSIBLE.

Narrator: WITH THE SHEER VOLUME OF SWEAT SAMPLES,

IT JUST TAKES YEARS OF TRAINING,

Narrator: WITH THE SHEER VOLUME OF SWEAT SAMPLES,

AND YOU HAVE TO GET YOUR NOSE RIGHT UP IN THAT SAMPLE.

Narrator: WITH THE SHEER VOLUME OF SWEAT SAMPLES,

RIGHT UP IN THERE, UNFORTUNATELY.

Narrator: WITH THE SHEER VOLUME OF SWEAT SAMPLES,

THE SMELL OF FEAR.

[ DING! ]

Narrator: SO NOW IT'S THE HYNEMAN'S TURN AT BODY DISPOSAL.

BOINK.

BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, JOHN DOE IS OUT OF THE CLOSET...

BOINK.

NOW ON TO THE WINDOW.

BOINK.

...AND THROUGH THE WINDOW.

BOINK.

[ LAUGHS ] NICE FORM.

BOINK.

...BECAUSE HIS HUMAN FORM...

BOINK.

OH, HE'S DOING AN INTERESTING CARPET TECHNIQUE.

...MAKES HAULING HIM INTO THE TRUNK...

OH, HE'S DOING AN INTERESTING CARPET TECHNIQUE.

[ Laughing ] THE FEET ARE STICKING OUT OF THE CARPET.

OH, HE'S DOING AN INTERESTING CARPET TECHNIQUE.

THAT LOOKS GREAT.

OH, HE'S DOING AN INTERESTING CARPET TECHNIQUE.

...FAR EASIER THAN THE CONTROL.

OH, HE'S DOING AN INTERESTING CARPET TECHNIQUE.

DONE!

[ DING! ] TIME!

DONE!

[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]

DONE!

THAT HAD TO BE A LOT QUICKER.

DONE!

Narrator: AT 1:55, JAMIE ALSO HALVED HIS BASELINE,

DONE!

A RESULT THAT'S TURNED THE HYNEMAN'S EXPECTATION

DONE!

ON ITS HEAD.

DONE!

HERE'S THE THING --

DONE!

I CAN PICK UP A 150-POUND BARBELL OFF THE GROUND,

DONE!

NO PROBLEM.

DONE!

IT'S GOT A GOOD HANDLE ON IT.

DONE!

I'M STRONG ENOUGH TO DO THAT.

DONE!

ON THE OTHER HAND,

DONE!

IF I WANT TO PUT THAT 150-POUND BARBELL ON MY SHOULDER,

DONE!

IT'S A LOT MORE DIFFICULT

DONE!

BECAUSE IT'S SORT OF AN ALL-OR-NOTHING ATTEMPT,

DONE!

AS OPPOSED TO THE BODY,

DONE!

WHICH I CAN PULL UP AN ARM OR A LEG OR A TORSO AT A TIME

DONE!

AND WORK THEM THROUGH A WINDOW OR INTO A TRUNK.

DONE!

SO FOR THIS TYPE OF TASK,

DONE!

IT'S ACTUALLY A LOT EASIER TO MANEUVER A BODY,

DONE!

AND THAT REALLY SURPRISES US.

DONE!

SO, THE MOVIES' DEPICTION OF MOVING BODIES AROUND?

DONE!

SURPRISINGLY PLAUSIBLE.

DONE!

FOR ONCE, THEY GOT IT RIGHT.

DONE!

INDEED, THEY DID. LET'S GO BURY THE EVIDENCE.

DONE!

Narrator: IT MAY BE PLAUSIBLE,

DONE!

BUT BEING ABLE TO MOVE A BODY

DONE!

DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN ACTUALLY GET AWAY WITH MURDER.

DONE!

THIS PLACE LOOKS GREAT.

NICE PLACE TO BE BURIED AT.

THIS PLACE LOOKS GREAT.

I THINK IT'S A FINE PLACE TO BE BURIED.

THIS PLACE LOOKS GREAT.

ALL RIGHT.

AND NOW, THE FINAL MACABRE MYTH

ALL RIGHT.

OF THIS "MYTHBUSTERS" HALLOWEEN SPECIAL.

ALL RIGHT.

THIS LOOKS ABOUT RIGHT. [ GRUNTS ]

ALL RIGHT.

ACCORDING TO THE MOVIES,

ALL RIGHT.

YOU CAN DIG A SHALLOW GRAVE IN 20 MINUTES FLAT.

ALL RIGHT.

BUT JUST HOW SHALLOW IS SHALLOW?

ALL RIGHT.

NOW, FOR US, THAT PUTS IT DOWN AT ABOUT 2 FEET DEEP,

ALL RIGHT.

SO THAT'S HOW DEEP WE'RE GONNA DIG OUR GRAVES.

ALL RIGHT.

Narrator: THAT 2-FOOT TARGET SEEMS SIMPLE ENOUGH

ALL RIGHT.

UNTIL YOU RUN UP AGAINST THE REALITY OF SOLID EARTH.

ALL RIGHT.

I'M HAVING TO TAKE LITTLE CHUNKS AT A TIME.

ALL RIGHT.

THIS IS GONNA TAKE ME HOURS.

ALL RIGHT.

Narrator: YEP, EVEN A SHIRTLESS HYNEMAN

ALL RIGHT.

ISN'T ABLE TO MATCH THE MYTHICAL 20 MINUTES.

ALL RIGHT.

Jamie: THE ANNOYING THING ABOUT DOING THIS

ALL RIGHT.

IS THAT I KNOW FOR A FACT

ALL RIGHT.

IT WOULD TAKE ME ONE SCOOP OF A BACKHOE TO DO THE SAME JOB --

ALL RIGHT.

TAKE ALL OF 30 SECONDS.

ALL RIGHT.

THAT'S A LITTLE OVER 2 FEET.

ALL RIGHT.

I THINK THAT OUGHT TO BE DEEP ENOUGH

ALL RIGHT.

TO KEEP THE ANIMALS FROM GETTING AT HIM.

ALL RIGHT.

TIME TO CHUCK HIM IN.

ALL RIGHT.

Narrator: AND AFTER OVER TWO HOURS OF DIGGING THE DIRT,

ALL RIGHT.

THE MYTH IS CLEARLY BUSTED.

ALL RIGHT.

I WISH WE HAD PICKED A PLACE WITH NICE, SOFT, LOAMY DIRT.

ALL RIGHT.

Narrator: SO ALL THAT REMAINS IS TO CLOSE OUT THE SHOW.

ALL RIGHT.

WELL, WE HOPE YOU'VE ENJOYED

ALL RIGHT.

THE "MYTHBUSTERS" HALLOWEEN SPECIAL.

ALL RIGHT.

JAMIE, GIVE THEM YOUR HALLOWEEN WISHES.

ALL RIGHT.

MAY YOUR CORPSES BE LIGHT AND YOUR DIRT BE SOFT.

ALL RIGHT.

INDEED! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

ALL RIGHT.
