imo chucky is probably the most consistant long horror franchise and the main reason is that they never feel like paycheck or obligation movies. theres always people involved that care

[@_PuppetMaster86]

They also reside in a safe zone where the films can still be considered classics without being considered good movies. Even the first Friday The 13th film today is still considered a “technically bad” movie with its pacing and filming choices.

As a general rule often people who allow themselves to work on dark shit in fiction are sweeter and kinder in the rest aspects of their lives. At least in my experience. I feel safer talking to people who enjoy horror and gore than those who insist in pure and sweet media only. Usually those have a higher chance of judging you or being cruel for no reason.

I love these recounts. They not only give a chance for James to update his catalogue, but there's something comforting in the familiarity of revisiting early Dead Meat, especially long running series' like Friday, Chucky and Saw. Sure you could always binge the old episodes, I have plenty of times, but it's usually in the background while I'm doing something else, but with recounts it gives a reason to sit down, grab a snack and focus on the episode

I know there are people who dislike these Recounts. I, however, am not one of them. It always made me sad that these early Kill Counts didn't get the same in depth and informative treatment that newer ones do, which is doubly sad because the early videos covered a lot of the more iconic franchises. I'm super excited for these!

[@charliestoke1668]

When I watched the original Kill Counts of the Chucky franchise, I was already used to how James went in-depth about the movies that I was caught off guard by him just doing a kill count. It made me wish he’d go back and give them the proper Kill Count treatment, so I’m damn happy that he’s doing exactly that. I’m sure his little joke about people “complaining” about the Recounts in this very video is satirical either way, he knows that his fan base is extremely supportive and just wanted to poke some fun.

[@jasoncporter]

Oh I totally agree. I really hope after Child's Play he does Recounts for the Scream Franchise (and then includes Scream 5) and then the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. I feel like such heavy hitters in horror deserve the updated presentation!

I love James' subtle nods to 80s/90s culture throughout. The way he said "buttocks" was a nod to Forest Gump. The empty apartment after Maggie died was an Empty Nest reference (cuz Dinah starred in the sitcom). The hilarious "mad dog" nod from Pee Wee's Big Adventure. The Labyrinth reference and "baby" from David Bowie's groovy song. And the nod to Gage from Pet Sematary with "no fair no fair" when Andy had the scalpel. This is the shit thats sets James apart from the rest. Fucking love it!

[@laniijkv1030]

I was about to comment about the peewee reference bc I thought I was the only one who caught it!

[@danielhenderson8000]

While James has always been charming, the "modern" Dead Meat videos show how far he has come! The behind the scenes and extras really add so much and honestly, it drives my passion for movies and horror all the more! I appreciate the Kill Counts, especially on a series so wild and wonderful in SO many ways. Can't wait for you to recount the others, I am sure it'll be a great trip.

[@CouchSpud91]

It kinda makes me want a version of the kill counts for other genres, preferrably other genres that, like Horror, aren't given the hollywood spotlight nearly as much but deserve much more love than they get. What comes to mind are mainly Musicals, Animation, and Comedy movies. EDIT: I know Animation specifically has a lot of channels that look at movies, but almost all of them focus solely on the end product and very rarely dive into the behind-the-scenes info like we get from Dead Meat.

[@erichfiedler1481]

@@CouchSpud91 I think a good animated film that deserves a Kill Count should be Corpse Bride, it's more horror adjacent than actual horror, but it's still creepy at time, has great stop-motion animation, and I can easily count how many died, 4 people died in Corpse Bride consisting of two men and one woman who died twice, I'll give the Golden Chainsaw for coolest kill to Lord Barkus, it wasn't graphic or anything, but considering how he's responsible for killing Emily and his own hubris by drinking a deadly drink is pretty satisfying, though what happens next is left up to the viewers imagination; Dull Machete for lamest kill goes to Emily herself, not her passing on from either world as a bunch of butterflies, but her initial death, since we have know clue what offer her

When I saw the first Kill Count, I only watched the first one. But, after watching this more in-depth review, I binged the whole series. The Chucky franchise has since become my favorite in all of horror films. Honestly, I’ve been having a rough few years, but somehow that little, plastic, demon bastard has managed to make my days brighter and a little redder.

It's funny hearing people being scared of Chucky when I was literally 3-4 years old with 2 Chucky dolls, the original and bride/seed version . I still have pictures lmao .

[@rommieyay4444]

@@dabs.47 Oh by that time Chucky wasn’t scary, you got lucky not to be around for the originals. I remember when Bride came out n it eased my fear tremendously being more comedic plus the fact that I was older lol

[@HangingWithNathan]

First horror filmed I ever watched, 8 years old. When Chucky first came to life I got so scared I put in the VHS Scooby Doo (2002) a film I hated but now love lol. Fantastic to see you doing a recount on a well deserved series! Excited to see how these all progress!

Could not slp after watching part 3 cause I was scared I would have a nightmare

[@irieite9666]

My "Cool" Uncles let me watch this when I was 5. I had nightmares for about a decade lol. I remember one where I was in my attic room playing with my older sister and she ran down the attic stairs. After her heavy footsteps began going down the 2nd staircase I could hear a lighter pitter patter up the attic stairs and I just knew who it would be... When Chucky lunged around the top of the stairs to the attic doorway I woke up with my heart skipping beats and sweating cold. That was the worst Chucky nightmare I had.

[@comingforya690]

Yes, going back to the old ones and comparing them to the first kill counts and I’m very pleased with the recounts. Just the whole pacing and tone is amazing. You’ve come a long ways James!

[@wearethebomb42]

It's interesting to see the parallel progression of animatronics as seen in Child's Play, where they had to rely on whole teams of people moving controls around, as compared to the work being done by Industrial Light & Magic for Who Framed Roger Rabbit, which came out the same year (1988) and had the first known example of one-to-one motion controls (compare Chucky's chin strap aparatus to Baby Herman's cigar arm contraption and you'll see what I mean).

[@CZsWorld]

LMAO at Intro-James just straight up saying the continuity has never been broken. He won't even ACKNOWLEDGE the 2019 remake 💀 I personally don't mind it as much as you James, but I appreciate the joke.

[@JenTilly96]

Yeah because it's irrelevant 😉💅

[@Cyaneth]

I don’t think it’s supposed to be canon to these films anyway, it’s its own thing

[@potts9274]

I would make the point that other than by title of movie- the remake has nothing to do with the series- thus never breaking its continuity. This is further evidenced by the fact that had you changed the title- it would not feel like a Chucky movie. Had they replicated multiple character names and plot points then yeah it’d break cannon but the fact that it’s it’s own movie with the same name (like two songs from different decades and artists that sound nothing alike having the same name) just means that a studio got lazy somewhere.

[@jimmyb5025]

I love this new ongoing joke about James vs Zoran. James just trying to do his job, and Zoran keeps trying to prank and/or murder him. It adds a good amount of humor to the get to the numbers bits.

[@b1rdsh0t80]

25:41 I never noticed that Chucky’s head was cheering on the body until now 😂😂 The way he says “Kill him! Choke him!” gets me 😂

[@Alphawolf2017]

I gotta say it. Man are James and his team at Dead Meat *dedicated* to their craft! I mean I honestly didn't expect them to do a recount for this series, yet it's refreshing to see it. Hell there's somethings I'm sure we didn't know about the franchise that we learned here today in comparison to the OG Kill Count from 5 years ago. Kudos guys. Way to keep it classy. Absolutely can't wait for the Kill Count for the TV series (even though Chucky basically did your job for you with the season finale).

[@hopepapernacky]

It warms my har how inclusive this series is 💗💗💗

[@JoshuaAndres]

I don’t think you’ve mentioned this but Chucky is based on a real life supposedly haunted doll named Robert. He is currently displayed in a museum in key west Florida

[@Tubbkin]

I truly enjoy how you and your team go above and beyond to do research about how the movies are made, the reffernces they used and more. It makes it feel like you're learning about a time period in horror history and not so much just a movie kill review. Loved this channel since The Mist video :D
