Sorry Jack, Chucky's back. Andy is placed in a new foster home by Laura Palmer's mom! Will this NEW family believe him that there's a killer doll on the loose? The Chucky persona gets dialed in more in this sequel that culminates in the original Good Guys factory. 

Tom Holland and Chris Sarandon return to the Hurt feed with 1988's "Child's Play"! The first in the classic killer doll slasher, this film starts in a bit more of a horror/ thriller vein. Check out all those puppet effects! 

After just two older and one brand new entry, we've come to the end of the franchise already. How do you successfully adapt these games? What did Gans learn in his 20 years in between entries? Best rendition of Pyramid Head? 

.... and what franchise is next!

Are we the only two people on the internet that liked this movie? Seems so! While not perfect, it still captures the feeling of "Silent Hill 2" the game and the additions do make some sense. 

We invite back to the show, our resident 3D expert, Rob Campbell! He uses advanced (dated) home 3D technology to report in on all the great 3D effects in the film. We also manage to cover- what other jobs Pyramid Head might be suited for, why Kit Harrington needs a beard, and why a Cenobite seems to be turning up in this universe. 

We take on our first video game franchise! Does the creeping dread of the game translate to the film? Can you jam lots of exposition into a story that already has a story? And who is... Pyramid Head and why is he here?

While there are only two films in this franchise out now, a 3rd arrives in theaters on January 23rd of 2026!

We chat about the franchise as a whole! Best vampire(s), best Evil Ed, and where we might take the series next. 

Stay tuned to hear what series we tackle next....

We finish the franchise by talking about this very much related, very much a sequel... er, remake of the first one? Shot in Romania and taking place in Romania (!), this new version follows Charlie and Evil Ed taking on Elizabeth Bathory. 

On it's own this could be a fine vampire movie- but as a Fright Night remake a few of the changes left us cold as a tomb. Evil Ed and Peter Vincent both deserved better but Colin Farrell and Toni Collette did what they could with this script!

Our 4th year on, we invite Michael Holloway back to discuss what these three Fright Boys watched through the Halloween season! Like everyone, we tend to watch even more horror during October, so much so, that a spreadsheet needs to be employed. If you need to give a franchise a break, check out any of these.
