Option 1 - It's hard for such characters to be sympathetic, so they're easy to kill without making the audience bummed instead of hyped. Option 2 - The revulsion they make the audience feel adds to the uncomfortable atmosphere of horror. Option 3 - Somebody was a creep themselves a long time ago and filmed such a character because they wanted to film some perving, then it became a trope and now writers just do it without even knowing why.

I liked the subtle touch of him rolling backwards to get to his feet when he's celebrating having an Ahab. It was a hint at how he quietly gets to his feet later.

[@Scarshadow666]

Eugene and Jamie's characters added in this movie also adds a chilling implication that becoming a slasher villain is a franchise in-universe to the movie (as well as a nice nod to older OG slashers). It's like an allegory to some people passing on their generational traumas/messed-up stuff or like slasher villains are some underground organized hate group or something... 0_0

[@doctornyannyan7901]

James' nervous glances during the To The Numbers gag has me dead.

[@TheKingsPride]

I love that the mentor couple is a slasher and a final girl, touching on that whole “do they actually love each other???” trope in slashers to try to deepen the connection between the killer and his would-be victim

Leslie’s killer design is cool asf to me. Mainly his mask.

Every week these videos get better - your commentary, your research, your jokes. Your genuine love for horror movies always makes it a joy to watch you work. I know it was a joke but you don't just take "20 minutes to count kills." There's so much detail put into every movie you cover and it's why I go back to rewatch your videos the same way I rewatch my favorite horror films.

[@CallMeMrStopmotion]

I was honestly expecting Mr. Vernon to stab Mr. Janisse with the scythe just as he was in the middle of counting the pie chart. The tension from that segment alone had me spooked.

[@jaimeraymundo7324]

LOL !

[@zurichRevolts]

started watching this kill count because i didn’t think i’d care to actually see the full movie. changed my mind 8 minutes in and paused the video to watch the movie. maybe the meta stuff just really works for me. maybe the cliches still work for me, because i’ve seen less of these movies. whatever it is, i loved this movie. it’s absolutely a new favorite. keep doing what you’re doing.

I bring out Behind the Mask every Halloween and it's always been a hit - one of those "how did I not know about this??" movies for horror fans. When HE showed up, I clapped like a 2nd-grade girl who just saw Elsa at Disneyland. This is the flick I've always been hoping you'd get to, and the Kill Count is fantastic. Nice work, everybody.
