      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. 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 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!

      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.

      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
      @erichfiedler1481 2 роки тому +2

      @@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

    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 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.

    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!

    I’ve remember seeing the og child’s play kill counts and the contrast to the recounts is insane. I really appreciate them

    This is definitely one of my favourite (or even my top favourite) kill counts ever since James’s return, I love the original Child’s Play kill counts so getting recounts of them with new behind the scenes info is great!

    This is my all-time favorite horror franchise and I can’t tell you how pumped I am to see a recount! In the original video “Through the harrr” had me cracking up so much, and I love to see everything even more in depth!

    I'm VERY glad James brought up the editing process, a lot of people don't know how dramatically different Tom Holland's cut of the movie was.

    I love these Recounts and getting to learn more about these movies. And it's fun getting to kinda look between recounts and the originals just to see how different the style of the videos and everything is. Looking forward to going through the Child's Play/Chucky franchise.

    Andy is one of the cutest kid protagonist not only in a horror movie but in movies in general, Alex Vincent does a great job playing the character, and i am so glad Alex returned to the franchise in cult of chucky, such a great cameo.
    Edit 1: Also omg that was hilarious 23:37
    Edit 2: i never knew ed gale did both chucky and Howard the duck, what?!
    Edit 3: and i love the new award for the chucky franchise on the kill count

    I love how this show evolved overtime. At the beginning you were just counting kills that’s it, but now you’re doing all this work it’s 100 times better.

    i LOVE these recounts because james covered great movies when he first started and hes literally grown exponentially with his team, quality, production etc, so its fun to see him go back and expand upon the previous kill counts
