Game Review!

Use your outside voice, Richie Tozier!

Hello my little spirits, no Chucky Review this week :(. I wanted instead to do a review on a short fan game for Stephen Kings 2017 IT and chapter 2! If you are huge fan of IT in any form I can assure you that this game will probably destroy you, but in the best way? Because if you’re like me you’re still not over the clown movie and you probably never will be. Use your outside voice, Richie Tozier! is a 2D pixel art RPG game created by mapurl. They created a simple arrow and space bar game that has a mountain load of IT lore from the book, to the mini series, and the movie.

Now if you are an even bigger fan of Richie and Eddie and feel like your heart has been ripped out of your body, what 3 times now? Then this game is still for you! It’s basically a fix-fic but as a video game, which come on it doesn’t get better then that. With about an hour of gameplay you will get an incredible story with art and scenes that will make you a blubbering baby,

And just about anything you could have hoped for to remedy your broken heart. ⚠️WARNING⚠️ for those of you wondering if this is scary…well yeah duh. There are a few mild jumpscares but what else would you expect from the murder clown? I have played this game about 50 times already over the past couple of years and it never gets old. Also it’s FREE, which isn’t even the best part because I would have gladly sold my kidney for this. So please those of you who have not played this, it’s time. Also if you can donate to the creators!

This Artist has given me everything I could ever want 😩

During the filming of Poltergeist (1982), the clown doll nearly really killed Robbie due to an animatronic error where the clown’s arm constricted too tightly around his neck. When the actor started screaming and protesting he couldn’t breath[e], Spielberg thought he was acting.

This just reminded me of a documentary on Shudder called Cursed Films, it talked about some crazy supernatural stuff that happened on some horror movie sets. It really sent a chill through my spine.

Chucky Series: Episode 2

Hello my little Spirits...i’m back. For episode 2 of The Chucky series!

Let’s just jump right in because I can’t wait to share what I thought if episode 2! Also can I just say the soundtrack for this series has been amazing. 

So we get another flashback into young Charles Lee Ray’s life on halloween no less. He pulls some freaky shit by bitting into an apple he CLEARLY saw a razor sticking out of but, I mean he’s Charles Lee Ray so... yeah. The scene then cuts to Hackensack present day Halloween with a full moon and crime at an all time high. It’s about a week since Jake’s dad died and he’s on his way back to school where, much to Lexy’s dismay (gods I really hate Lexy), he gets invited to the popular kids party. (I mean red flag much) At home Chucky is doing what Chucky does best, scheming and plotting. We get kill number 2 when Chucky pushes the housekeeper into a dishwasher filled with EVERY SINGLE knife in the house pointed up. I mean come on lady, not saying she deserved it but who does that? Anyway the hole seen was honestly really cool to watch. We get just the right amount shock factor that really goes hand and hand with the Chucky franchise. Not to mention an amazing shot of Chucky’s reflection in one of the knifes poking out of her neck. Jake and Junior come home from school and have a little argument before anyone realizes the dead housekeeper. After the police come Detective Evans (yes our lovely Devon Evans mom) has a suspicion that Jake knows more than he’s letting on. But it’s the same case with every Chucky movie, who’s going to believe him? Jake then confronts Chucky who denies his envelopment (yeah okay buddy) to which Jake replies “Get fucked with that shit” which is definitely my FAVORITE line out of the entire episode. Next we get Lexy (oh great.) on her couch while her parents fawn over her little sister who drew and amazingly creepy but accurate photo of Chucky from the talent show. Lexy of course gets mad when her parents suggest she can get the doll for her little sister from Jake. To which her mom absolutely destroys her by say her sister is better at drawing then she has been at anything ever (LMAO). Finally its time for the Halloween party at Olivers house ( Lexy’s side piece) which is nothing like any middle school party I have ever seen (mine consisted of pizza, 3 friends, and a collection of barbie movies). Jake realizes Chucky is missing and is probably going to go kill Lexi so he makes his way to the party as well. We get another great scene where Chucky sporting a Hello Kitty mask goes trick or treating for the location of the party (YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT). What I love about this is that It pulls us into the story even more. Chucky doesn’t just know where the party is out of no where he needs to find out. Once he gets his information he hands the lady an apple we can only assume has a razor blade in it. Finally all the characters are at the party and Chucky (after playing some video games with Lexy’s little sister) finds his target. We get a hilarious moment where Chucky is under the bed stabbing into the mattress as Lexy and Junior roll around unintentionally avoiding Chucky’s knife. Sadly Lexy manages to avoid it, and apparently it is showtime because she finally puts on her Halloween costume. Thats when Jake and Devon walk in on Lexy PRETENDING TO BE JAKE’S DEAD DAD GETTING ELECTROCUTED! Are you kidding me? Like ma’am I can’t hate you anymore than I already do. 

That’s what sets Jake off because he finds Chucky and runs home. There Chucky offers him an idea about how to deal with Lexy (wink wink) Jake grabs the offered knife and we get a chilling scene of Jake’s reflection in the knife (this ones my episode favorite). That’s it for episode two! I am genuinely invested! There are definitely a lot of that original Child’s play feel to the series but I am getting mostly Curse and Cult vibes. Which I don’t think is bad, many of the comments towards the series seems to mention that a lot. My final thought's are that Lexy is a raging bitch and I think everyone is wishing on her death. Also we love Devon and I hope he’s not secretly nefarious. Jake needs to be protected because clearly no one else is gonna do it. I’ll see you guys next week... and remember keep it Rated R for excessive gore and nudity.🔪 ❤️

HORROR FAVORITES

Movie: Stephen King’s IT the 2017 adaptation. I will forever have an emotional attachment to Chapter 1 and Chapter 2. The retelling of the whole story in late 80s to 2017 exactly 27 years from the original is amazing. Muschietti really created a masterpiece. I also really enjoyed the mini series but let’s be real the remake is better. The Losers Club will always hold a special place and my heart and if anyone is wondering yes Pennywise is hot. Also yes it’s my favorite horror novel too.

Bad Movie: Killer Klowns from Outer Space 1988 now it’s a bad horror movie not because it’s not good but because it is bad at BEING a horror movie. Sure if you’re scared of clowns this one’s a real doozy.

Show: Hands down Stranger Things, it’s my 80’s sci-fi horror dream. The aesthetics, storytelling, and the cinematography is literally a godsend. The characters are great and the Duffer brothers really put a lot of work into every aspect of this show. My dream is to be a background character.

Game: Now before you clock me for saying Five Nights at Freddy’s I need you to understand that I don’t mean just one. As a whole universe this is my Favorite. The Lore is so fleshed out and honestly feels never ending. I enjoy figuring out the story and connecting things so this was a great experience and is a great memory for me.

Villain: Chucky aka Charles Lee Ray, I mean the man decided to stay a doll just so he could kill people and NEVER GET CAUGHT. It’s actually a real smart idea and I feel like people are always so stuck on the fact that he’s just a doll and could easily be defeated not realizing it’s canon he has some mystical strength since he messed around with VOODOO. All his sass and attitude are a whole mood.

Kill: Phillip from Nightmare on Elm street: Dream Warriors, this one scarred me as a child because the thought of someone using my veins as strings to puppet me around really makes me want to vomit.

Ending: Us (2019) Jordan Peele never misses and It really fucked me up. I was not expecting it but when it was revealed IT ALL MADE SENSE. Also just the idea that everyone has a doppelgänger just gives me chills.

Death by Misadventure

A Chucky series review. Episode 1. Minor Spoilers!

Good evening little spirits! I know I said a movie review was coming (it still is I promise) but I decided to start with a show! In case you didn't know Chucky is back in his very own show created by Don Mancini on SYFY and the USA network. Not only do we have Don (who has written and or worked on 10 of the films in the Childs play franchise), but we get the love of my life Ms. Jennifer Tilly (Tiffany/herself) , Fiona Dourif (Nica Pierce), Brad Dourif as the voice of (Chucky/Charles Lee Ray), and a ton of other callbacks! Now I won't be giving any major Lore lessons however, I will mention the ones I notice or feel are important enough to explain. I also want to note that I have seen the series in full already but I always feel like you have to watch it more then once to really enjoy it. So let’s get into my second run through review!

EPISODE ONE 

We are introduced to the main character Jake Wheeler a young artist who lives with his (obviously shitty) dad in the infamous town Hackensack. Know for its high and ever rising murder rate. Jake has a fascination with using dolls for his sculptures and buys a Good Guy Doll (yes it is exactly who you think it is) at a yard sale from his neighbor. This neighbor also notices a missing butcher knife from a knife block so yeah were not waisting anytime with Chuckys usual antics. From there we get a look into the kind of life Jake is living. He's bullied by his father for being gay and a constant reminder of his dead mother, bullied by his cousin (Junior) and classmates (Lexy, Juniors master I mean girlfriend) for being poor, and to top off the angst overload, he has a crush his jerk cousins best friend (Devon Evans) who for now seems nice enough. He also happens to run Jakes favorite podcast “Hackenslash” which sheds light on the history of crime in Hackensack. We get our first altercation at a family dinner between Jack, his dad Lucas and Juniors parents Logan and Bree Wheeler. Logan and Lucas are twin brothers who maybe once had a good relationship, though now it seems between Luca’s bottle and Logans maybe intentional flaunting of his own success something clearly turned sour between the two. The dinner ends after multiple jabs at Jake sexuality and a suspicious phone call between Bree and someone. Very reminiscent of the cheating mother back in Curse of Chucky. The NIGHT however, ends after Lucas smashes Jake’s sculpture into a bunch of tiny doll pieces, Jake unable to stop him while “How Villains Are Made” by Madalen Duke plays in the background. I mean if the song title says anything Jake’s seems to be getting the short end of the stick. Due to his dads fit Jake decides to sell the Chucky doll since it seems to go for about a grand on Ebay. He brings it to school where Chucky has a bit of fun murdering Jake’s Lab Frog and giving Lexy a bad high for making a GoFundMe page for “Poor Jake”. Deciding to leave Chucky at school so he dad doesn't break him Jake returns home to find a message waiting for him about the doll. He calls the interested buyer and every fan of the series must have caught on to the voice of none other than Andy Barkley. Andy wastes no time in warning Jake about checking for batteries, and thank the gods cause I mean after 10 movies he shouldn't be taking any chances. The next morning Chucky appears at the house out of nowhere and Jake does just that. After seeing no batteries he throws the doll away and heads to school to attend the talent show. Now this is is probably my favorite scene out if the entire show. During the show Lexy calls out Jake’s crush on Devon in an attempt to continue making his life a living hell (just know I HATE HER) HOWEVER a familiar voice from the crowd calls her out in return. Jake turns to see Chucky sitting in the seat behind him, he gets up and grabs the doll who appears to be whispering in his ear. Jake makes his way on stage with Chucky who then puts on the best “ventriloquist” act of all time. Chucky calls out Lexy for being a bitch and exposes her questionable porn history. Leaving the crowd laughing and Jake (and us) extremely satisfied. Later that night drunk Lucas pisses us all of again by smacking Jake around and calling him gay AGAIN, like dude it’s getting old be mad about something else. He takes Chucky and sends Jake to his room, big Mistake obviously. We get our first human kill of the series (Chucky killed Jake’s cat oop did I forget to mention that), an electrifying end to Lucas and an AMAZING cut scene left me with a feeling really great about the start of this series. 

The biggest concerns I had with the series was the quality of the effects and whether or not it would fit into or add to the already meaty Lore of the franchise. Through this first episode I feel like I can put those worries to rest. The fact that they have a real puppet on set and MULTIPLE puppeteers which were named in the credits, really gives it the nostalgic quality. We also see some amazing cinematography going on (that I promise you just gets better) and I am a huge fan of the use of a ton of split diopter shots. We also get are favorite GoodGuy just being himself, him flipping off the talent show audience and calling them all “a bunch of fuckin’ assholes” left me in TEARS. Really Brad Dourif’s laugh will never get old to me. So yeah i’m a big fan and I hope anyone reading this is gonna be in for the ride with me. If you haven’t seen the show yet what the hell are you doing here go watch it! see you next week and remember keep it Rated R 🐥🔪.

Hello all my little spirits!

Saddle up cause this is gonna be a spooky ride. I’m trying to get into the nitty gritty with my fellow horror lovers! I’m talking films, games, books, short stories, and just about anything else that will possibly leave you scarred or questioning how easy it really is for someone to get into your house. First thing I want to share are movie reviews so look out for that! And remember always keep it Rated R for excessive gore 🤡
