Mega64 Movie Club: Child's Play
Halloween isn't over!! We got this in like 3 minutes before midnight so it still counts.
This week on Movie Club we talk about the classic 1988 horror-thriller Child's Play! Directed by Tom Holland, this film tells the story of a kid named Andy who receives a doll that has been infused with the soul of a serial killer. What do we think about this franchise-starting film? Tune in to find out!
Next week's movie is THE TOXIC AVENGER.

that cardboard kristen wiig in the background is fucking terrifying
Yea Child’s Play as a franchise is very interesting because every mainline installment is written / sometimes directed by one dude, Don Mancini. He would throughout the series go back and forth from campy to serious physiological horror. For me Child’s Play 2 is my favorite because like Elm Street 3 it’s the perfect balance of camp and physiological horror. It’s also kind’ve a commentary of child foster system which makes it more interesting than some of the other sequels.
Chucky’s animatronic skeleton from one of the movies lived on in Daft Punk’s Technologic video
Interesting fact, in the UK Child's Play 3 was massively controversial because the tabloids directly blamed it for a child murder.
They are very much not ready for The Toxic Avenger. Should make for a great episode, this might be the first one that Shawn doesn’t finish watching the movie.
In the same vein as this and from what Derick said, they should watch Puppetmaster. Also, I think they're going to hate the Toxic Avenger.
Doc Cochrane from Deadwood is my favorite Brad Dourif role
