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. With exceptions of course but you get the idea.

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 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!

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 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

[@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.

[@electricdanish912]

Watching this back-to-back with the original Child's Play count was delightful, especially since it gave me a chance to catch the callbacks, like "Good Guy/Bad Cop." Love your vids, James, and I look forward to seeing the rest of the Mancini Canon recounted!

[@DizzlyRuin]

I was shown this movie franchise when I was very little and it scared me so much as a kid for decades but that fear turned into an admiration for this serious, I would say thanks to this channel ❤

[@LordTurg323]

I'm glad we got a recount, I've always wanted more detail on the practical effects since that's what I've loved about franchises like Wrong Turn or Final Destination

[@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).

[@jadeb8624]

You know what I love about your channel James? I was a firm believer that classic scary movies weren't scary or good to watch. But since watching your channel and getting all of your behind the scenes information, your intricate details about movies that I've missed, and most importantly, your perspective of the character inside the movie has made me a believer in the classics. You've changed how I view movies as a whole now and I think that's awesome

[@darealmephiles]

Couldn’t comment on child’s play 2 recount so am here really really love the in-depth look James! I never knew half of what should’ve been known

[@jamesrucker4252]

Child’s play was my first Kill Count that I watched, I’ve been tuning in every week ever since, and it’s amazing to see James cover this series again!

[@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

[@dxddyminato3145]

I love how James doesent like the most liked comment like every other KZbinr, he likes the comment he finds the most likeable 😭

[@zachjohnston5948]

This channel has become so much more than just counting kills … it’s just a deep dive into films in general… James ur awesome

[@harryparsons2750]

much respect for all the work that went into the animatronics. Sooo much better than CGI! Not to mention taking actual creativity and work.

[@BSJ-Unparalleled]

The first Child’s Play Kill Count is actually the first Dead Meat video I’ve ever watched. Something about the way James described the movie was really unique and entertaining. I’ve been hooked ever since.

[@dramamole]

I'm not sure why Zoran is so obsessed with killing James lately but I'm here for it. Luckily James just can't be got 🤣 Excited for this recount. Because this franchise is unique in that the same leading hands have been involved the whole time I'm really interested to learn more of the background info

[@TylerPCoyne]

Maybe it’s because he’s anxious to do another kill count

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.

I'm so excited for the Scream recount. I have a feeling it's going to be one of the most popular videos in the channel

[@yoshi_923]

I remember watching the original Child's Play when I was WAY too young to watch it. It scared me so bad that I would freak out when I even saw a picture of him. When I got older I grew to appreciate Chucky and now he's one of my favorite horror movie killers!

[@jonathanleiman4792]

Same situation with me. Got my own TV in my bedroom when I was around 6 or 7, and would stay up waaaay past my bedtime watching movies on TBS/TNT. I had a My Buddy doll, but when I saw Child's Play, I threw it in the trash the next morning. 🤣

[@MihaelLawliet01]

[@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 😂

[@JohnNotAMurderer]

Thanks for getting me to realize how great these films are. I used to think it was just another cursed doll horror film like Annabelle but it is so much better.

[@terroratnight5199]

The scene where Karen discovers he has no batteries is one of my favorite scares ever in horror

[@SushiDoge]

The Chucky kill counts was what really got me invested into this channel and I remember waiting excitedly every week for the next episode to come out for the build up to cult. The fact that the channel has expanded so much since then and is an actual professional business now is mind blowing and literally incredible to see

[@rusellrey3684]

First 3 minutes of the Chucky Re-Count and i'm already bombarded with great info and details that weren't in the original kill count! This says a lot of how this show has change for the best, favorite KZbin channel by far ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@JIKFever]

I was in the middle of the first count of chucky and came to watch this video because this is a better explanation of the film and it’s crazy how much you’ve evolved

[@Rachel98246]

This show has given me such an incredible appreciation for movies, but horror movies especially. I love learning about behind the scenes things that I never would’ve known had I not found this channel! Like, just watching this movie, I never would’ve known that there were multiple animatronics, potentially different castings, the fact that people met and fell in love behind the scenes, it’s so amazing! Add a hilarious, awesome personality like James and this show is just perfect!

[@JHG_1]

I do find it crazy how the kill count has become less about the kills and more about the movie itself, but then again I think people also watch it for James and co just as much

[@rommieyay4444]

I love how he’s doing it now, it feels more of a complete deep dive. Going back n looking at the old kill counts it felt rushed n just kinda going over the plot like other channels do, just with a kill counter added lol.

[@Yunone]

Five years ago, James covered the original seven films. And now five years later, he's recovering them to give the movies the credit and treatment they deserve. Poetic and bookended, you could say.

[@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!

I know this is only the second franchise Recount, but I'm happy this is coming out. I started watching the channel around the time the Friday Recounts were finishing up, so I never watched those. It's been stated in this video and in the comments, but big props to Don Mancini for keeping continuity in this franchise since 1988. No retcons, no alternate timelines. The only differences are the tonal shifts that James mentioned at the start. I know it'll get talked about throughout the Recount, but it's really cool that Mancini was able to have the original trilogy, then go through a name change, drop to direct-to-video, and then bring it back to the mainstream with a full-on TV series. Ain't nobody doing it like that!

The Child's Play series is one of my favorite horror franchises of all time (and Chucky is easily my favorite of the well known slashers) and the original kill counts for it will always have a special place in my heart. I'm incredibly hyped to rewatch the movies as you release these recounts and I hope you'll consider covering the tv show one day!
