Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, two of the most popular, long killer toy franchises. Roughly a year apart, both of them has a huge fan base. They so happen to be what got me into killer toys in the first place. In fact I recently gotten from Bloodwave DVD, Killer Toys Collection that has the first seven Chucky movies.
I got into Chucky by first seeing Child's Play 2. I kept rewatching it during my child hood. It still is one of my favorite horror movie sequels. A neighbor gave me the first five Puppet Master movies on VHS. Yeah remember those things that used to be majority for watching movies without cable? Now it is all about DVDs & Blu-Rays.
I seen most Puppet Master movies including the amazingly terrible unofficial crossover movie. A good crossover movie with the Demonic Toys has already been done in the 90s. Which so happens to be in my killer clowns collection from the same guy. I have a strong history enjoying both of these franchises.
Of course my ideal dream killer toy face off would be Chucky vs. the puppets. I am not going to lie, both sides has a huge body count that easily trumps many killer toy movies combine. They also appeared in comics displaying such brutal kills. Currently two of the absolute longest horror movie franchises.
Puppet Master has eleven movies in the main canon alone. There is a reboot/sequel set in an alternate universe coming out soon. Chucky is on the verge of getting his own show that continues the story of the movies. Puppet Master: Axis Termination was mostly funded by the fans. I said it once & I'll say it again, this is one truly bloody movie for any killer toys movie.
Honestly I never considered doing this fight for my long versus series for one simply reason. You could imagine those two facing each other. I still did some obvious fights that some people wanted. Chucky is one of my personal favorite slasher villains of all time. Puppet Master has some of the coolest killer toys I have ever seen.
I do recommend taking breaks while reading this. Chucky should have a group of Chuckies & Tiffany to help him out. These puppets took on a great variety of enemies over the years. Chucky movies are pretty straight forward while Puppet Master being more of it's own mythology. Chucky has been killed off several times.
Only Leech Woman has been killed off in the canon. Chucky is like a small human with a greater pain limits. These puppets can be rebuild since instructions to their designs is involved within their case. The same case having the instruction to the formula to bring them to life. Which is easier than bringing Chucky to life or doing another spell to possess something else at the same time.
These puppets have a neutral repetition due to fighting against the bad guys. In other cases, they're the ones killing people. It depends on who is the puppet master. Chucky is clearly stronger than their strongest Pinhead. Whose shouldn't be confuse with the Hellraiser villain of the same name. Each puppet does something different to help them stand out more.
Torch has a flame thrower going to a few feet. Six Shooter fires six revolvers ridiculously fast. Tunneler uses his drill tip head. Leech Woman can force out leeches from her mouth. It's not what you think you sick bastards lol. Blade has one hook for a hand with a knife blade for the other hand. More recently he replaced one of them for a needle as a reference to Re-Animator.
The first five Chucky movies were release in theaters. From Curse of Chucky to up, they became direct to video movies. However Puppet Master series always been direct to video since the beginning. The unofficial crossover originally aired on Syfy channel before getting a DVD release. When you think about killer toys usually these two comes to mind first.
I already reviewed most of their movies in a few blogs. Yes some Puppet Master movies aren't great like The Legacy was terrible. Mostly filled with previous movie scenes with very little new scenes. Even Retro Puppet Master had more going for it. Of course I should bring up Curse of the Puppet Master.
Curse of the Puppet Master is a rip off of another movie called Sssssss. Two incredibly similar movies with not much separating the two. I would go as far to say they basically stolen Sssssss. Even if it didn't have that problem. This was the first Puppet Master movie after their partnership with Paramount ended.
Which meant Full Moon had to put more of their own money & resources into making it. I felt from Puppet Master 6 to 8, this was an disappointment to the first five movies. Sure there are some things I wasn't crazy about in 4 & 5. But they're done much better than those movies. I should talk about the Axis trilogy.
If you seen the entire beginning portion of the original Puppet Master. These movies are meant to fill in the gap from that part. Which led to US fighting against the Nazis & Japanese. I felt as a whole Axis trilogy really made up for Puppet Master 6-8. Even with my own problems with each of them. Puppet Master: Axis Termination is one of my favorite Puppet Master movies.
This movie didn't hold back for giving the fans exactly what the wanted. A truly bloody entry displaying the puppets at their best. This also had one of their best puppet masters to date. They did a very good job delivering on their promise. I sorta felt that way with Curse of Chucky & Cult of Chucky.
Seed of Chucky was a movie that should've focus more on the horror. We ended up with a movie that almost became a parody movie. Keep in mind, most of those movies sucks with some exceptions like Spaceballs. Curse of Chucky went back to it's roots. Sure mostly in one location but I felt they made it work.
Cult of Chucky is a movie I recommend you watch two or three times before judging. There's a lot going on that may confuse you. This is one of the strangest killer toy movies I have ever seen. Of course some of the Puppet Master movies would count towards that too. Two of the most awesome killer toys franchises to date.
I just noticed Curse of the Puppet Master & Curse of Chucky. Yes bad things can happen indeed. I really wish we could get a true crossover between both franchises. Both of them has amazing potential to bring so much to the table. I really believe in the right hands even they went the comic book series route.
We would be getting some amazing stories. Possibly way better than Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash stories. Two different kinds of magic was used on them. Which by itself would make things very interesting. It would be more possible to make than putting Chucky vs. Leprechaun. Yes that would be my number 1 choice of all versus movies.
Even I realized Chucky should face Puppet Master for more reasons. Both has a very interesting history with very clear differences. Honestly this were to be funded by kickstarter I would donate a lot of money towards it happening. I really do believe this would be one truly amazing crossover movie or comic book crossover stories.

Batman 1966 vs. Gotham Comparisons Part 3 (Joker Edition)
Keep in mind, I am considering Jeremiah from the last couple episodes of season 4. Eventually I'll fill in the blanks to properly finish the comparisons between both shows. Please don't freak out, I will take time to analyze more of Jeremiah during season 5.
Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, today we get to talk about one of my personal favorite fictional villains of all time. DC's The Joker always felt a huge impression on me during my child hood. Even to this day, he remains as my favorite comic book super villain. Don't get me wrong I like a lot of them with insane powers but The Joker has done some ridiculous damage on his own.
It's no secret both Batman 1966 and Gotham shows does have their own Joker respectively. However due to another character introduced early on Gotham. I have decided to not leave anything to chance. Therefore this will cover two major comparisons with 1966 Joker taking on both Jokers of Gotham. Now do what you will about this angle. To me we technically have two different versions on the same show.
The very last thing I want to do is not include the first of them in my blog. Hell I do highly respect all of them. Each one brings something unique to the character that seems to stand the test of time. Really this could do all over the place. I expect no less for Batman's Nemesis. A character filled with mysterious leaving people to picture in their own minds exactly why he is this way.
Round 1: Batman 1966 Joker vs. Jerome
To clarify Jerome is basically the proto Joker in every sense of the word. Although some things that happened to the characters in the comics did happen to him. Now this would've excluded if he wasn't anything like The Joker at all. I already had to do that on the villains side. Keep in mind the times were very different for these shows.
Batman 1966 was a much lighter show that had to greatly tone down The Joker. Fortunately they chose a great actor to do him on the show & movie. This show was meant of testing your wits and a weird sense of humor. The Joker appears in a lot of episodes with most of them being great. I should mention The Joker is wearing hot pink clothes instead of his usual purple ones.
Cesar Romero refused to have his mustache shaved off. They chose to simply put extra white make up on his face to help cover it up. The Joker is usually shown without facial hair. This Joker laughs a lot with him being up there with many great actors that portrayed the character. True to his name, he did cause a lot of chaos in Gotham.
Jerome was the son of two circus performers. He killed both his parents without any remorse. Quickly appointed to be the leader of a group of maniacs. Jerome got revived to start causing mayhem all over Gotham. More recently he attempted to kill Bruce Wayne. Now he is lock up at Arkham Asylum.
Jerome acts just like what you expect of The Joker in every possible way. Not only he laughs, he causes some mayhem that would give Batman 1966 Joker a run for his money. Jerome is very convincing at what he does. I don't see why a lot of people were very surprised to hear he isn't The Joker.
Although for what he does bring to the table Jerome does have my respects. Way better than Jared Leto's take in Suicide Squad movie. Hell it is a huge honor for him to being the inspiration for the actual Joker. This is going to be a close show down between a real Joker and someone whose not quite him.
I think what it really comes down to is which one felt more like the character. A guy all about causing chaos, killing thousands of people, blowing stuff up and attempting to corrupt Batman. In most of his appearances in 1966 show, The Joker does cause a lot of chaos with some ridiculous concepts. In some cases he attempted black mail for money.
Jerome does nail more what I expect of him in areas 1966 version doesn't. He is betraying everyone he works with just like his comic book counterpart. Yes both characters laugh but I still give Romero's more praise. I do like Jerome's laugh but it is still not enough to compete with that. In appearance 1966 version easily wins.
Jerome uses weapons you expect from criminals & maniacs. 1966 version uses all kind of ridiculous weapons. In that regard does make that version more faithful to the character. Both has fought Bruce Wayne but it felt more right in Jerome's case. Despite not being The Joker, he is clearly his inspiration.
Both of them did freak the entire Gotham City out. I think I have to give this to 1966 version for a few good reasons. He is a bigger thorn in the police's side. If you seen some of his most ridiculous episodes. You already know what I'm talking about. For those that haven't seen the show or episodes I'm about to reference.
There is an episode where The Joker built an UFO tricking people all over the city. There is another episode where he doesn't paint in a painting contest to end up winning it. Only to black mail a couple of rich people for money. Yes this by itself isn't faithful to the character. I would bring up forcing Batman into tough situations but many villains also done that on the show.
Even in bad episodes, this version of him does stand out in many ways. I'm not saying the actor for Jerome isn't great. Honestly he blew me away within minutes of seeing him in action. Clearly he is one of the better TV versions of the character. I felt in some ways 1966 Joker just has exactly what it needs. Sure there are some criticism I could see people saying about him.
In the end 1966 Joker has more major things going for him. Even if I excluded the movie, he has difficult to believe episodes. The Joker stands as one of Batman's greatest enemies for great reasons. I felt this version fit those better than Jerome. I do remember both of them a lot. 1966 Joker is simply more of the actual characters in ways it matters.
Winner: The Joker on Batman 1966

Round 2: Batman 1966 Joker vs. Jeremiah
Now since I covered a great deal about Batman 1966 Joker. I am mostly going to focus on Gotham's Joker. It turns out Jerome had a twin brother named Jeremiah. He planned not only his death but also made sure his brother became his successor. Unexpected happened where a new gas turns Jeremiah's skin to white, his lips red, his pupils are a different color & acts very differently.
Obviously Jerome was insane that wanted to cause Hell to the city. His brother wants to destroy it all to rebuild it in his imagine. Jeremiah can clearly see how insane his brother was. At the same time he won't let people get in the way of his goals. This guy has more of the critical traits of the character that Jerome simply lacks.
For starters Jerome didn't wear much purple clothes. He needed help to build things like different types of gases. Jerome was insane at a young age while parts of it are deeply covered up by his brother. Even Jeremiah confirmed the gas didn't actually affect his sanity because he already was insane.
Jeremiah does a great job acting more faithfully to the character. It is a real shame because of DC cinematic universe, Fox isn't allowed to call him The Joker. It shouldn't effect people liking him a lot. He has been doing things The Joker very likely would do in the comics. Jerome didn't have a obsession of Bruce Wayne while his brother does.
Two very different takes of the character on two very different shows. The Joker on Batman 1966 is a heavily toned down version meant for comedical purposes. Jeremiah is a much more serious take that may lack the hair color & title. Both of them sure cause a lot of chaos on their respective shows. Two of my favorite Joker actors in TV shows.
Jeremiah is much more complex out of The Joker on Batman 1966 & his brother. The Joker was already the character from the start on Batman 1966. Unfortunately during it's final season, The Joker was given some terrible episodes. Also some of his appearances he is seen wearing mostly hot pink instead of his usual purple.
There is no question, The Joker on Batman 1966 is more faithful in terms of having his own gadgets. How Jeremiah goes about things is more accurate to the character. This is going to be difficult no matter how I go about it & in all honestly it should be. After all, The Joker always has been Batman's greatest enemy.
Another reason why this is so hard because Jeremiah isn't in as many episodes as The Joker on Batman 1966. At the same time, he haven't gotten a bad episode. Which is one thing he has over the other version of the character. However The Joker on Batman 1966 does laugh a lot. Jeremiah doesn't laugh often except when he was becoming the character.
I felt this might even come down to the little things. Jeremiah with Ra's al Ghul's help trapped whoever was in Gotham causing all kind of chaos in the process. Jeremiah also had that level of interest in Bruce Wayne similar doing that with Batman in the comics. Also the way they went about Batman 1966, technically The Joker along with Catwoman, The Riddler and The Penguin are his arch enemies.
Now I know I'm already doing this comparison before even watching the final season. I already decided to do a extra part updating most comparison between the two shows. With that being said I have slightly have more reason to give the win to Jeremiah. He is mostly wearing purple even before becoming the character.
Honestly Jeremiah tricks people the same way the character does in the comics. He never wanted money or control over people. All he truly wants is to cause chaos on a big scale. In vice versa, The Joker does want those things. When he is causing chaos, he simply doing it to get Batman's attention. Which was a very common thing the villains would do on that show.
Jeremiah is mysterious just like the character. He has done terrible things that could scar people for life. Believe it or not, even back then The Joker has done bad things in comics. Obviously Batman 1966 version is based on older comics while Jeremiah being more based on new 52 universe comics. A very clear difference in almost everything imaginable.
Winner: Jeremiah on Gotham

Winner: Jeremiah on Gotham
Jack Red reviews Xtro 1 and 2
Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, I figured to review the first two Xtro movies. Believe it or not, despite being an alien movie trilogy. They have little to nothing in common at all. Not even sharing an alien race. I haven't seen Xtro 3 otherwise I would've done all three of them in one blog. I should point out Xtro 2 was the bonus movie of Killer Toys Collection & the only movie included not part of the theme.
Xtro (1983)
Xtro is one of the strangest movies in all of my horror movie collection. This is both alien & killer toy movie. An alien comes to Earth, he impregnates a human woman into giving birth to a humanoid alien. Close to half way through, he infects the boy giving him powers. He quickly discovers he can control toys as well as turn them into living creatures.
I believe this kid gets most of the kills since three of his toys killed someone. Two aliens are terrorizing people in a way you wouldn't know what's going on. This is sorta like a horror movie version of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Technically E.T. came a couple months before in the UK in 1982.
E.T. also got to the United States much faster than Xtro did. Why the sudden comparison? Both movies involves an alien leaving Earth to go back to their home planet. I should mention the famous scene where a toy soldier breaks into an old woman's apartment room. There is also a clown that helps the boy.
This is an cult classic that not many people would enjoy especially if they're a fan of Alien series. Sure this does kinda rip off that series but it does plenty of things to differ itself from it. Some kills are just plain awkward like one of the aliens is screaming to the point a man dies from it. I would say try watching this to get a better understanding how unusual it is.
Xtro 2 (1990)
This movie is just plain bad, at least the original had some good things. This is just what you expect from tired sci fi movies trying to experiment extra ideas. Now I know I possibly offended a lot of people with that statement. Yes I seen some good movies with that concept but some companies love crapping all over it.
Xtro 2 differs in many ways to the original movie. For starters, the aliens come from another dimension. They affect people very differently that's also comes off being what you expect from zombie movies. In the original Xtro, either the alien impregnates a human woman or in their humanoid forms suck into their flesh to create eggs.
It quickly becomes boring with not much to excite you. The aliens move like their part mech or someone in powered armor I'm not kidding. How they went about killing a doctor becoming an alien was kinda stupid. This movie doesn't bring anything new to the concept. I highly recommend avoiding this movie at all costs.
It simply isn't worth your money, attention & time. I would rather watch the last two Species movies over this. Yes I'm aware that franchise is also a rip off of Alien series that's more focus on sex. In their argument, they told the stories better with a better usage of the alien to alien humanoid creatures.

Jack Red reviews Dolls & Dollman
Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, I wanted to review two Full Moon movies I recently got into. I quickly became a fan of both movies that are also in Killer Toys Collection. I felt if this doesn't show Full Moon I care for their work, what the hell will? Two interesting movies for their time that still considered to be two of their greatest movies ever made.
Dolls
Dolls is hands down one of the scariest killer toy movies I have ever seen. A little girl befriends a guy she met inside the house. Over half the people that arrived started mysterious disappearing. It turns out the dolls are in fact alive. They're the ones going around killing people. The old woman was a witch as confirmed late in the movie.
The scene where the girl's father got transformed into a doll was disturbing & creepy. There is some great kill scenes for it's time. Also considering this predated the original Child's Play by roughly a year. A lot of stuff around the time you expect in early 90s Full Moon movies is here. Dolls is a brilliant master piece more people need to see.
I really can't recommend this movie enough. Empire did a great job with this movie. Full Moon allowed it to get on Blu-ray not too long ago. In fact for my custom collection, I chose it's Blu-ray cover to be on the back. Dolls is a rather interesting movie in many ways. This movie will make you terrifying of your own dolls after watching it I'm not kidding.
Dollman
Oh hell yeah Dollman isn't just a Full Moon classic. This is a surprisingly very good movie of theirs. Dollman may come off as one of the dumbest things ever. But the way they went about this concept, it really works. An alien police officer goes after his long time nemesis to crash land on a distance called Earth.
It turns out, on our place everything about him in size is much smaller to me. Although he wields one of the most over powered guns I have ever seen in an movie. Dollman decides to help the neighbor hood by going to war against a gang. This movie also has a young Jackie Earle Haley whose very well known in movies today.
Dollman has some amazing story telling that keeps you on the edge of your sit. This guy puts up one amazing fight on his own. Also I love the cover artwork above. Full Moon really out done themselves with this movie. Dollman is a good mixture of different movie genres into. It comes more off like The Terminator in it's own right without time travel.
I highly recommend watching both of these movies. They're holding up amazingly well to the test of time. Two very interesting takes on killer toys concept. Easily two of the greatest Full Moon movies ever made. Yes you also can get Dollman on Blu-ray. I honestly don't have any real negatives towards either movie, they're that damn good.
Dolls
Dolls is hands down one of the scariest killer toy movies I have ever seen. A little girl befriends a guy she met inside the house. Over half the people that arrived started mysterious disappearing. It turns out the dolls are in fact alive. They're the ones going around killing people. The old woman was a witch as confirmed late in the movie.
The scene where the girl's father got transformed into a doll was disturbing & creepy. There is some great kill scenes for it's time. Also considering this predated the original Child's Play by roughly a year. A lot of stuff around the time you expect in early 90s Full Moon movies is here. Dolls is a brilliant master piece more people need to see.
I really can't recommend this movie enough. Empire did a great job with this movie. Full Moon allowed it to get on Blu-ray not too long ago. In fact for my custom collection, I chose it's Blu-ray cover to be on the back. Dolls is a rather interesting movie in many ways. This movie will make you terrifying of your own dolls after watching it I'm not kidding.
Dollman
Oh hell yeah Dollman isn't just a Full Moon classic. This is a surprisingly very good movie of theirs. Dollman may come off as one of the dumbest things ever. But the way they went about this concept, it really works. An alien police officer goes after his long time nemesis to crash land on a distance called Earth.
It turns out, on our place everything about him in size is much smaller to me. Although he wields one of the most over powered guns I have ever seen in an movie. Dollman decides to help the neighbor hood by going to war against a gang. This movie also has a young Jackie Earle Haley whose very well known in movies today.

Jack Red reviews Child's Play series
Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, finally I get to review one of my personal favorite horror movie franchises. Child's Play series has a very strong reputation among killer toy movies with a very passionate fan base. Along with Full Moon's Puppet Master series, Child's Play got me into killer toy movies.
Obviously Child's Play series is the most important moves in Killer Toys Collection. I simply couldn't do this without Child's Play or Puppet Master. Child's Play series is still a major inspiration to me to this day. Some of the best written horror movies of the late 80s & most of 90s ever. I really can't recommend majority of these movies to anyone.
1. Child's Play (1988)
Believe it or not, it took a long time for me to see the original Child's Play. This was the only entry to be done by MGM as all later Chucky movies are done by Universal. Child's Play gave Chucky such a great voice actor that's still doing the role almost thirty years later. They chose to leave us in suspense almost the entire movie.
Keep in mind, the twist revealing the killer still haunts many people's minds. It turns out Charles Lee Ray the serial killer transferred his soul into a good guy doll. One interesting fact is each part of Chucky's real name was taken from a real life murder. This is one of the first voodoo horror movie to not be centered around rituals of that culture.
What I meant is in most voodoo horror movies. A tribe of worshipers would curse or kill people to turn them into voodoo zombies. Yes there is a difference between a regular zombie & a voodoo one. In this case, Chucky was taunt voodo that he quickly abuses that knowledge for his own purposes. Which he is still doing to this day.
Child's Play was a very good late 80s horror movie. Chris Sarandon plays the detective that was killing Charles Lee Ray. This movie came a few years after Fright Night where he plays Jerry the head vampire. He later cameo in it's first remake to be killed off by that movie's Jerry. Sometime after the release of this movie, Universal bought the rights to this franchise.
2. Child's Play 2 (1990)
This was the first Chucky movie I ever seen. Even to this day, Child's Play 2 is one of my personal favorite horror movie sequels. This was a great early 90s horror movie that improved in many ways over the original. Andy from the previous movie got moved into a foster home. Chucky gets some great kills in this movie with people parodying the teacher kill.
I would say some of his best lines are in this movie. Also I am a huge fan of the cover art, still my favorite among all Chucky movies. Even Chucky's death topped that of the original. I remember having a recorded VHS tape of this movie with now rare USA channel alternate ending. No lie it plays mostly the same at a different camera angle.
They added an incomplete good guy doll head smiling. You aren't really missing much but considering even with the new seven movie collection. Why so little content on the first three movies is beyond me. Child's Play 2 told it's story very well for it's time. I guess I should say it this was my favorite classic Chucky doll look.
Child's Play 2 also had some of the goriest scenes in the entire series. Like when Chucky was forced to pull off his own head before removing the knife blade. Then he forced what was left of that arm right into that blade. This movie does such a great job keeping your interest at a high level. I honestly can't say anything truly bad about this bad.
3. Child's Play 3 (1991)
This was stated to be Don Mancini's least favorite entry for great reasons. He with the cast & crew were celebrating the completion of Child's Play 2. Out of no where Universal calls them to quickly get started on Child's Play 3. Now many horror movies in the 90s got rushed out that's no secret. It is actually more common than most people realize.
Child's Play 3 isn't particular a good movie but it isn't a bad one either. The best way to describe it is telling you what I like & what I don't like about it. Child's Play 3 had the weakest humor of the entire franchise. Some death scenes aren't great like Chucky scaring an old soldier causing him to have a violent heart attack.
Also due to the big time skip a different actor got to play Andy Barclay. He wasn't a good replacement for Alex Vincent who was a kid around the time. Personally I wouldn't chosen to set a Chucky movie at a military school. Believe it or not, they got permission to use a real military school for this movie.
Yes Chucky does get some rememberable lines like "This means war!!! or Oh Andy how much you grown." There's no way around it, Chucky's death in this movie is my favorite. I liked it so much that I made sure it was the front cover of Killer Toys Collection. Chucky does a good job to stand out in a good way.
4. Bride of Chucky (1998)
Bride of Chucky was among the first pay-per-view movies I seen. This is more recently seen as a mixed reception Chucky movie. Personally I am a huge fan of it for many reasons. Sure somethings done in the movie may seem like stuff that's already done or not done as well. Bride of Chucky does have one of the best soundtracks of the franchise.
This movie also started the thread of Chucky titles instead of Child's Play. Honestly I am okay with it but eventually they will strike out with it. Bride of Chucky also started them moving away from Andy Barclay. I guess they wanted the Chucky movies to be more fresh. This by itself cause some strong negative reactions.
Honestly it is good to have some changes. I didn't really mine they left Andy out of this movie. Bride of Chucky has some of the best jokes of the entire franchise. This also had one of my favorite Chucky doll models. I also like this time Chucky wasn't the only killer doll. Yes they introduced his long time lover Tiffy.
Easily one of the best late 90s horror movies. The same director of this movie later directed Freddy vs. Jason. Not to insult Chucky fans but that movie was way better. I do agree Chucky got some great kills. I kinda like some of Tiffany's kills with the famous mirror scene being my favorite kill of the movie.
5. Seed of Chucky (2004)
I didn't think they would strike out so soon with Seed of Chucky. I already did a long review of this movie in another blog ripping it a part from limb to limb. So I am not going to say much but for those curious I will link it down below.
https://jackred1989.blogspot.com/2017/08/bad-horror-movie-sequel-wednesday-9.html
6. Curse of Chucky (2013)
Curse of Chucky is great for direct to video sequel. Which is filled with so many bad horror movie sequels greatly out numbering those that hit theaters. Brad Dourif's daughter Fiona playing Nina whose mother had a connection with Chucky. Honestly I really didn't like the fake Chucky face mask. I do like how they went about exploring more of his back story.
Curse of Chucky is way better than Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers both versions. This movie does mostly take place in one location. There does exist similar angle horror movies that's worth mentioning. I would say some of his kills are some of the toughest to swallow yet. He sneaks on one of the bowls for dinner some rat poison that led to a horrible car accident.
Of course you knew it wasn't an accident come on. Chucky does a great job making Nina look crazy. This is one of the few times Chucky wins. There is an alternate ending that further expands the concept of her looking crazy to people. Curse of Chucky comes with a strong recommendation. It so happens to be on Netflix.
I don't have many issues with this movie. Curse of Chucky really made up for Seed of Chucky. I also believe they went this route to have more control over the movies they're making. Hands down one of the best among all the Chucky movies. This also seems to be a mixed reception movie among fans. I would say please check this movie out.
7. Cult of Chucky (2017)
Cult of Chucky got pirated online a few days before it's DVD, Blu-ray and Netflix's release. I heard some scenes aren't present on Netflix version. They also tied in a new seven movie collection with the actual case looking like a good guy doll's box. This is more of a mixed reception Chucky movie. I believe it is due to the big two twists late in the movie.
Yes there is spoilers in this review. There's technically four Chuckies in this movie I'm not kidding. Andy makes a full return after the cameo in a post credits scene in the last movie. He so happens to kept the original Chucky head. Chucky found a new voodoo spell allowing him to take control over several good guy doll's bodies at once.
In other words, within Harry Potter universe only two characters created the horcruxes. Which involves splitting your soul into several things with particular ways of destroying. This does allow the user to keep reviving themselves with some difficulty. However because it is against many rules of reality.
Over time the overall soul quality will break down. Which that part of the rule should imply to Chucky as well. Yes the cult that gets hinted was mostly Chuckies with Tiffany being one of the few members that isn't Chucky. Cult of Chucky is a movie I would say you should watch twice or thrice. Before you decide if you like it or hate it.
I noticed so many people judging it on the first watch not fully realizing everything going on. Sorry if I don't take a lot of them seriously. This is an underrated Chucky classic that some people would enjoy. Especially if you are a Chucky fan or you so happen to be into killer toy movies like me. This is one of the craziest direct to video sequels I have ever seen.
Obviously Child's Play series is the most important moves in Killer Toys Collection. I simply couldn't do this without Child's Play or Puppet Master. Child's Play series is still a major inspiration to me to this day. Some of the best written horror movies of the late 80s & most of 90s ever.

Jack Red reviews the remaining movies in The Killer Klowns Kollection
Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, I figured since I been reviewing movies from my first custom DVD horror movie collection. I should go the full distance to review all the remaining movies. Now I can't stress this enough please stop & take as many breaks necessary. I really don't want you to end up in an hospital or worse over this.
To help speed things up I will be linking related blogs where I reviewed a few series included in The Killer Klowns Kollection.

https://jackred1989.blogspot.com/2018/05/jack-red-reviews-demonic-toys-series.html
1. Amusement
Amusement acts sorta like an anthology movie. Each story does connect to each other during the final portion. The first three explains how the killer called The Laugh by people kidnaps them. Sadly only of them the killer dresses in this creepy clown costume. This guy takes on several disguises in most stories.
Some parts of the movie are interesting for different reasons. Like the scene where he tricks the guy to listen not knowing it was a trap about to go off killing him. This movie quickly loses it's appeal & never recovers from that. It's difficult for me to even kill this a killer clown movie. It is unknown if the body found in that portion was done while in the clown costume or not.
It's funny right? Nope it really isn't man. To put this as simply as I could. There's way more entertaining killer clowns in this collection. This movie felt incomplete it clearly needed more before getting release. I am aware the movie company behind it was going out of business. They should've canceled it.
2. Clown
_poster.jpg/220px-Clown_(2014_film)_poster.jpg)
You can also watch Clown on Netflix. Even one of it's producers had the perfect way of describing this movie. It is similar to The Fly remake with a man becoming a demonic clown like creature. Clown centers about a family man that gets a call about the clown isn't coming to his son's birthday party.
He looks around for anything similar until he comes across a mysterious chest. Which he opens it up to wear the clown costume inside. A clown suddenly shows up at his son's birthday party making him very happy. Unfortunately the guy finds out he can't remove anything he put on. Trust me he really tries to get it off.
You find out later it wasn't a costume he put on, it actually was the demon's skin. Over time parts of him becomes more like the creature. The very idea of clowns seems to be originated from this creature. His hunger of five children over the months of winter. There is technically two ways to free someone from this demon.
1. Cut off their head
2. Feed five kids to the creature
Clown is a different kind of horror movie. At first we felt very sorry for this guy. Near the end, the demon took over suddenly the feeling changes. Now we want it to get stopped from devouring his child. This isn't a kill heavy movie like some killer clown movies. Surprisingly some gory deaths for kids & I should mention a possessed dog gets his head cut off.
This is a movie I recommend not watching in front of your kids. I got a lot of positive things to say about this movie. One interesting fact this cover above scared a lot of people in Italy. This is a very different kind of killer clown movie. We have a man who never officially worked as a clown force to become a demon.
3. Dead Clowns
Dead Clowns is possibly the worst killer clown movie in the entire collection. Everything about it is so bad that even other bad killer clown movies have more positive things going for them. The closest thing I can say of being positive is some zombie clowns do look good. The audio isn't properly leveled as shown in several scenes.
This movie sorta rips off The Fog please allow me to explain. Both of them involves mysterious weather. It was a fog filled with ghost pirates in The Fog. But here we have a fierce hurricane with zombie clowns devouring people. It so happens this events took place on a huge anniversary of the tragedies.
I should mention how stupid the ending is. One of the few characters left wrote on a very large piece of paper saying you will be remembered. However since it was simply put out there without any kind of protection. This paper quickly gets damaged in the hurricane. For a short while the zombie clowns were gone until that paper got ruined.
They come right back to finish killing everyone. Are you kidding me is this the best you guys could do? I seen Stitches which also involves a zombie clown that's way better than this. There isn't any part of the movie that stands out in a good way. Dead Clowns is a movie I would say highly avoid at all costs.
4. Drive-Thru
This is more of a cult classic horror movie than anything else. Believe it or not, I like this movie a lot. It sorta reminds me of Twisted Metal's Sweet Tooth since they're food based killer clowns. Sure Horny the Clown isn't a good name but the actual character stands out in so many ways. A lot of people originally didn't like his mask, I felt it does make him stand out more.
Horny is mostly killing random people with his over sized cleaver. He also wants revenge for what happened to him relating to someone's mom & friends. Horny has some of the best lines within a killer clown movie. This guy is very entertaining to watch in my opinion. I do enjoy most kill scenes especially stuff you won't expect he does to people.
Like putting someone's head in a microwave cooking them to death by causing their head to explode. Sure there is one particular part where the music was too loud but still a good chase scene. Drive-Thru does a great job pulling you in. I would say one of my favorite gem killer clown movies to date. Horny doesn't hold back in killing people.
5. The Funhouse
The Funhouse isn't technically a killer clown movie but still a great one. I am a huge fan of the covers with the clown figure. Although that clown doesn't appear anywhere in the movie. I should mention there is a related book explaining more about the story. This follows a group of teenagers that gets mix in with some of the carnival's employees' business.
The main killer is actually a freak with extra parts to his face. This movie sorta reminds me of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre due to some of the similarities. I should mention Tobe Hooper directed the first two Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies also directed this movie. Not a lot of people would enjoy this since it plays more of the suspense than flat out killing people of my generation.
The Funhouse is a solid classic that more people need to watch. This movie deserves a lot of respect for what it goes. There isn't a lot of good horror movies centered around carnivals or haunted house rides. I felt every scene works better than you expect to. Most kills in the actual movie do the job well enough to satisfy you.
6. The Funhouse Massacre
This movie has a very big body count. Robert Englund being the warden of this mental facility was brilliant. Six psychopaths came up with a plan to kill as many people they can in one night. Let's just say one of them that wasn't captured pulled some strings for this cause. Two killer clowns among a good variety of crazy people.
Each one has a rather disturbing story to tell. Some worse than others like Rocco the Clown is hands down. One of the most violent killer clowns I have ever seen in an movie. This guy doesn't hold back slaughtering people at all even being gunned down several times. This movie was ambitious enough to easily fail but instead we ended up getting a very solid horror movie.
Just imagine going to a fun house to turn out some maniacs took it over. A common theme within Dead Rising series. This is a movie if you have a light stomach because it gets very gory & bloody. The kind of violence even censored it down wouldn't keep a lot of it out. The Funhouse Massacre is one of those more recent horror movies to prove me wrong.
7. Gacy
Obviously there's a couple of movies based on the story of John Wayne Gacy. One of the most notorious real life serial killers with a high body count in history. Of course I needed a movie based on the real life killer clown himself in my collection. I should say I do feel sorry for anyone affected by Gacy's murders.
This movie does cover a great deal of Gacy's life. I felt parts of the story are a mix but most important parts works fine. Gacy isn't essentially a horror movie like some movies based on other serial killers. Yes Gacy does kill people during the course of it. The entire point was to display what led to Gacy doing those things.
Gacy is a movie not many people would enjoy for many reasons. In fact I'm sure there are better Gacy movies out there. I will say doing the classic clown make up does work in this movie. He spent most of the movie outside his clown costume. The movie does play out very similar to how it did in real life with his arrest.
8. All Hallow's Eve
One of the director's first movies actually putting two of his earlier short movies into this movie. One of which just came it's own movie that I do recommend. This is an anthology movie that's sorta went under the radar a little bit. If you seen my review of it's sequel then you already know to avoid that movie.
All Hallow's Eve centers mostly around Art the Clown & a baby sitter watching over two kids. WOW Art the Clown really steals the show. One of the absolute creepiest killer clowns I have ever seen. Surprisingly there is a connection to all of these stories. One mysterious VHS tape covers all stories including the wrap around story.
Most newer people won't be familiar with VHS tapes. I grew up heavily around those VHS tapes until DVDs quickly became the new thing. Now some might see that VHS tape being a reference to The Ring series. Except if you watch that tape you will have seven days before the ghost kills you. Here just playing it puts you in danger of being killed by whatever comes from the tape.
This movie is a strange mixture of things but for being an anthology I thought it works good enough. All Hallow's Eve is itself a play on Halloween since it takes place on that holiday. Trust me it does plenty to differ itself from the long standing Halloween series. Which my brother is a huge fan of those movies.
9. Clownhouse
Clownhouse was made by the director behind Jeepers Creepers series. This was his first horror movie before going to prison. It turns out the youngest boy had terrible things happened to him by the director. Sadly this controversiality heavily over shadows anything about the movie. I do agree it is very upsetting this happened during the making of the movie.
Mostly due to that, all releases are very limited making finding an official release difficult. You are more likely to get a homebrew DVD instead. Clownhouse keeps quickly losing the copyrights. The movie centers around three boys that goes to a circus. Later that night, three maniacs broke out of an asylum to kill this circus' clowns.
They stolen their clown identities to start stalking these boys. It so happens the youngest among them has a fear of clowns. Believe it or not, this fear is one of the most common among people. Personally I enjoyed clowns while my brother doesn't like being around them. Clownhouse is a somewhat forgotten classic that more people need to watch.
10. 100 Tears
100 Tears follows a circus clown wrongly accused of crimes he didn't commit. Which led to him going insane become a killer. I am not going to lie for a low budget movie, they sure don't hold back on the gore level. Gurdy the Clown steals the show despite not talking or laughing much. This guy has a over sized clever using it like Jason using his machete I'm not kidding.
Later on, he gets his daughter in on the action. She acts like this movie's Harley Quinn similar to Dollface in The Funhouse Massacre. This movie sure does have some audio issues especially one scenes most critics points out. The story itself isn't interesting I felt they could've taken a different direction.
This movie really isn't for those with light stomach, trust me the gore is over whelming. On unrated version you get extra scenes including an alternate ending. I felt this movie does deliver in most areas horror movie fans would look for. This is sorta a forgotten gem more people need to check out. 100 Tears is a movie you shouldn't over look for many reasons.
11. Killer Klowns from Outer Space
My favorite killer clown movie of all time. Killer Klowns from Outer Space is one of those movies no one attempted or could recreate. Yes it does have some similarities with The Blob but it's stands more on it's own. The movie centers heavily around these aliens that looks like clowns killing people. This may have the highest body count of any killer clown movie ever made.
I am such a fan of this movie that I made sure one of the front covers got to be The Killer Klowns Kollection's front cover. This movie has a huge fan base still going strong to this day. A very unique take of several concepts. Honestly I never seen any killer clowns more evil & wicked as these creatures.
Killer Klowns from Outer Space has such a good theme song. Even for a low budget movie, a lot of people are really impressed by it including myself. I would go as far to say this is the perfect killer clown movie. Sure it doesn't have much blood like people from my generation can't get enough. What it does have is a huge body count.
This movie has so many killer clowns it's ridiculous. Oh ok not as ridiculous as their arsenal of weapons. Trust me I could describe them all in full detail to make this already lengthy blog much longer. This is a movie that not only stands the test of time but always becomes rewatchable. I honestly could watch an all day marathon of this movie I'm not kidding it's that good.
12. Slaughter High
A lot of people who worked on some Friday the 13th movies made this. Originally going to be called April Fools Day but they didn't want to cause problems with another horror movie having that title. They decided to rename it as Slaughter High. This movie sorta reminds me of the first Toxic Avenger movie.
Of course there's plenty of revenge horror movies. I would say this is one of the best revenge horror movies I ever seen. Slaughter High does play some Friday the 13th tricks but at the same time brings it's own. This movie is a true classic that more people need to check out. Yes the killer would be a killer clown despite being silence in most kill scenes.
Most kill scenes are very well done including stuff I haven't seen in other horror movies. Like this guy drinks a beer with his guts exploding out of him. The ending will freak you out in more ways than one just like some Friday the 13th movies. Slaughter High is technically better than some Friday the 13th movies.
13. Carnival of Souls
Carnival of Souls not to be confused with it's terrible 90s remake is a clever movie. Yes this is a public domain horror movie that people are still talking about today. A very different kind of horror that not a lot of people would like. I can see more older people enjoying it in the right mind set. Carnivals of Souls isn't a killer clown movies but there's a lot of laughter in some parts.
This movie is not only standing the test of time but still inspiring people. This was a low budget movie made quickly on a few locations. Originally the director had experience with educational videos. He was on a vacation then he noticed a particular place that inspired this place. Carnivals of Souls is a true classic that more people should watch.
I would say a very different kind of horror movie. The entire point of it makes you view things very differently. You finally get to see what exactly happened earlier in the movie. Which was done very well for it's time. There isn't a horror movie centered around killing people. It is more centered around how you view the world around you alive or dead.
14. The Devil's Rejects
A follow up to House of 1000 Corpses. Rob Zombie really delivered one of the possibly greatest horror movie sequels I have ever seen. The Devil's Rejects is a very different tone from the original. At the same time, it does an amazing job having the killers shining. This movie is in all honestly a very good in every sense of the word.
More recently, they confirmed 3 from Hell being the new entry. The firefly family was heavily inspired by The Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies. The same movies to also inspired The Bakers in Resident Evil VII. I felt The Devil's Rejects did the concept the most justice. There is a lot of people that die in this movie.
Unfortunately this was the actor playing Tiny last movie before he died. I felt he gave us a great final performance. This movie improves over most things done in the previous movie. I also felt this did a better job showing off Captain Spaulding. Yes he had more entertaining scenes in House of 1000 Corpses but he gave us a great performance in this movie.
15. Krampus
Krampus was still new to having horror movie based on him. Most of them are very bad movies. Thankfully there are some good Krampus movies like this one by Universal. This is technically a very different Christmas horror movie. Despite some scenes it isn't focus on killing people. It is more focus around how one kid losing the Christmas spirit affected everyone around him.
Which led to him summoning the Christmas demon causing all kind of hell. Do I even need to say who my favorite character is? Der Klown is sorta a reference to Full Moon's Jack Attack. He ends up doing more damage in the long run. Universal did such an interesting on a twisted Christmas experience.
The grand mother had prior experience with Krampus doing what she can to help. The animated story is easily one of the best moments of Krampus. Although I wasn't crazy about Krampus' design it still does it's job. This movie can play towards several kind of fears. Krampus is truly a Christmas horror classic more family could enjoy.
16. Stitches
My bonus killer clown movie is last but it sure packs a lot of puns lol. Stitches is also currently on Netflix. The story centers around Tom's birthday party where he & his friends did pranks on Stitches. The last prank went horribly wrong that led to his death. Tom went to a cemetery to be found by a cult of clowns with a warning.
A few years later, Tom arranges a house party for his birthday. Of course most of the ones responsible for what happened to Stitches ends up going to it. Stitches is a rather interesting slasher comedy movie. We have a killer zombie clown capable of doing some ridiculous stuff. Do I even need to say it?
Stitches steals the show, most scenes with him are very entertaining. This movie also had an UK comedian Ross Noble playing the character. He clearly had a lot fun doing the character in this movie. OMG that dream sequence in a class room was disturbing. I really enjoyed all the death scenes including Stitches' second death.
To help speed things up I will be linking related blogs where I reviewed a few series included in The Killer Klowns Kollection.

https://jackred1989.blogspot.com/2018/05/jack-red-reviews-demonic-toys-series.html
1. Amusement
Amusement acts sorta like an anthology movie. Each story does connect to each other during the final portion. The first three explains how the killer called The Laugh by people kidnaps them. Sadly only of them the killer dresses in this creepy clown costume. This guy takes on several disguises in most stories.
Some parts of the movie are interesting for different reasons. Like the scene where he tricks the guy to listen not knowing it was a trap about to go off killing him. This movie quickly loses it's appeal & never recovers from that. It's difficult for me to even kill this a killer clown movie. It is unknown if the body found in that portion was done while in the clown costume or not.
It's funny right? Nope it really isn't man. To put this as simply as I could. There's way more entertaining killer clowns in this collection. This movie felt incomplete it clearly needed more before getting release. I am aware the movie company behind it was going out of business. They should've canceled it.
2. Clown
You can also watch Clown on Netflix. Even one of it's producers had the perfect way of describing this movie. It is similar to The Fly remake with a man becoming a demonic clown like creature. Clown centers about a family man that gets a call about the clown isn't coming to his son's birthday party.
He looks around for anything similar until he comes across a mysterious chest. Which he opens it up to wear the clown costume inside. A clown suddenly shows up at his son's birthday party making him very happy. Unfortunately the guy finds out he can't remove anything he put on. Trust me he really tries to get it off.
You find out later it wasn't a costume he put on, it actually was the demon's skin. Over time parts of him becomes more like the creature. The very idea of clowns seems to be originated from this creature. His hunger of five children over the months of winter. There is technically two ways to free someone from this demon.
1. Cut off their head
2. Feed five kids to the creature
Clown is a different kind of horror movie. At first we felt very sorry for this guy. Near the end, the demon took over suddenly the feeling changes. Now we want it to get stopped from devouring his child. This isn't a kill heavy movie like some killer clown movies. Surprisingly some gory deaths for kids & I should mention a possessed dog gets his head cut off.
This is a movie I recommend not watching in front of your kids. I got a lot of positive things to say about this movie. One interesting fact this cover above scared a lot of people in Italy. This is a very different kind of killer clown movie. We have a man who never officially worked as a clown force to become a demon.
3. Dead Clowns
Dead Clowns is possibly the worst killer clown movie in the entire collection. Everything about it is so bad that even other bad killer clown movies have more positive things going for them. The closest thing I can say of being positive is some zombie clowns do look good. The audio isn't properly leveled as shown in several scenes.
This movie sorta rips off The Fog please allow me to explain. Both of them involves mysterious weather. It was a fog filled with ghost pirates in The Fog. But here we have a fierce hurricane with zombie clowns devouring people. It so happens this events took place on a huge anniversary of the tragedies.
I should mention how stupid the ending is. One of the few characters left wrote on a very large piece of paper saying you will be remembered. However since it was simply put out there without any kind of protection. This paper quickly gets damaged in the hurricane. For a short while the zombie clowns were gone until that paper got ruined.
They come right back to finish killing everyone. Are you kidding me is this the best you guys could do? I seen Stitches which also involves a zombie clown that's way better than this. There isn't any part of the movie that stands out in a good way. Dead Clowns is a movie I would say highly avoid at all costs.
4. Drive-Thru
This is more of a cult classic horror movie than anything else. Believe it or not, I like this movie a lot. It sorta reminds me of Twisted Metal's Sweet Tooth since they're food based killer clowns. Sure Horny the Clown isn't a good name but the actual character stands out in so many ways. A lot of people originally didn't like his mask, I felt it does make him stand out more.
Horny is mostly killing random people with his over sized cleaver. He also wants revenge for what happened to him relating to someone's mom & friends. Horny has some of the best lines within a killer clown movie. This guy is very entertaining to watch in my opinion. I do enjoy most kill scenes especially stuff you won't expect he does to people.
Like putting someone's head in a microwave cooking them to death by causing their head to explode. Sure there is one particular part where the music was too loud but still a good chase scene. Drive-Thru does a great job pulling you in. I would say one of my favorite gem killer clown movies to date. Horny doesn't hold back in killing people.
5. The Funhouse
The Funhouse isn't technically a killer clown movie but still a great one. I am a huge fan of the covers with the clown figure. Although that clown doesn't appear anywhere in the movie. I should mention there is a related book explaining more about the story. This follows a group of teenagers that gets mix in with some of the carnival's employees' business.
The main killer is actually a freak with extra parts to his face. This movie sorta reminds me of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre due to some of the similarities. I should mention Tobe Hooper directed the first two Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies also directed this movie. Not a lot of people would enjoy this since it plays more of the suspense than flat out killing people of my generation.
The Funhouse is a solid classic that more people need to watch. This movie deserves a lot of respect for what it goes. There isn't a lot of good horror movies centered around carnivals or haunted house rides. I felt every scene works better than you expect to. Most kills in the actual movie do the job well enough to satisfy you.
6. The Funhouse Massacre
This movie has a very big body count. Robert Englund being the warden of this mental facility was brilliant. Six psychopaths came up with a plan to kill as many people they can in one night. Let's just say one of them that wasn't captured pulled some strings for this cause. Two killer clowns among a good variety of crazy people.
Each one has a rather disturbing story to tell. Some worse than others like Rocco the Clown is hands down. One of the most violent killer clowns I have ever seen in an movie. This guy doesn't hold back slaughtering people at all even being gunned down several times. This movie was ambitious enough to easily fail but instead we ended up getting a very solid horror movie.
Just imagine going to a fun house to turn out some maniacs took it over. A common theme within Dead Rising series. This is a movie if you have a light stomach because it gets very gory & bloody. The kind of violence even censored it down wouldn't keep a lot of it out. The Funhouse Massacre is one of those more recent horror movies to prove me wrong.
7. Gacy
Obviously there's a couple of movies based on the story of John Wayne Gacy. One of the most notorious real life serial killers with a high body count in history. Of course I needed a movie based on the real life killer clown himself in my collection. I should say I do feel sorry for anyone affected by Gacy's murders.
This movie does cover a great deal of Gacy's life. I felt parts of the story are a mix but most important parts works fine. Gacy isn't essentially a horror movie like some movies based on other serial killers. Yes Gacy does kill people during the course of it. The entire point was to display what led to Gacy doing those things.
Gacy is a movie not many people would enjoy for many reasons. In fact I'm sure there are better Gacy movies out there. I will say doing the classic clown make up does work in this movie. He spent most of the movie outside his clown costume. The movie does play out very similar to how it did in real life with his arrest.
8. All Hallow's Eve
One of the director's first movies actually putting two of his earlier short movies into this movie. One of which just came it's own movie that I do recommend. This is an anthology movie that's sorta went under the radar a little bit. If you seen my review of it's sequel then you already know to avoid that movie.
All Hallow's Eve centers mostly around Art the Clown & a baby sitter watching over two kids. WOW Art the Clown really steals the show. One of the absolute creepiest killer clowns I have ever seen. Surprisingly there is a connection to all of these stories. One mysterious VHS tape covers all stories including the wrap around story.
Most newer people won't be familiar with VHS tapes. I grew up heavily around those VHS tapes until DVDs quickly became the new thing. Now some might see that VHS tape being a reference to The Ring series. Except if you watch that tape you will have seven days before the ghost kills you. Here just playing it puts you in danger of being killed by whatever comes from the tape.
This movie is a strange mixture of things but for being an anthology I thought it works good enough. All Hallow's Eve is itself a play on Halloween since it takes place on that holiday. Trust me it does plenty to differ itself from the long standing Halloween series. Which my brother is a huge fan of those movies.
9. Clownhouse
Clownhouse was made by the director behind Jeepers Creepers series. This was his first horror movie before going to prison. It turns out the youngest boy had terrible things happened to him by the director. Sadly this controversiality heavily over shadows anything about the movie. I do agree it is very upsetting this happened during the making of the movie.
Mostly due to that, all releases are very limited making finding an official release difficult. You are more likely to get a homebrew DVD instead. Clownhouse keeps quickly losing the copyrights. The movie centers around three boys that goes to a circus. Later that night, three maniacs broke out of an asylum to kill this circus' clowns.
They stolen their clown identities to start stalking these boys. It so happens the youngest among them has a fear of clowns. Believe it or not, this fear is one of the most common among people. Personally I enjoyed clowns while my brother doesn't like being around them. Clownhouse is a somewhat forgotten classic that more people need to watch.
10. 100 Tears
100 Tears follows a circus clown wrongly accused of crimes he didn't commit. Which led to him going insane become a killer. I am not going to lie for a low budget movie, they sure don't hold back on the gore level. Gurdy the Clown steals the show despite not talking or laughing much. This guy has a over sized clever using it like Jason using his machete I'm not kidding.
Later on, he gets his daughter in on the action. She acts like this movie's Harley Quinn similar to Dollface in The Funhouse Massacre. This movie sure does have some audio issues especially one scenes most critics points out. The story itself isn't interesting I felt they could've taken a different direction.
This movie really isn't for those with light stomach, trust me the gore is over whelming. On unrated version you get extra scenes including an alternate ending. I felt this movie does deliver in most areas horror movie fans would look for. This is sorta a forgotten gem more people need to check out. 100 Tears is a movie you shouldn't over look for many reasons.
11. Killer Klowns from Outer Space
My favorite killer clown movie of all time. Killer Klowns from Outer Space is one of those movies no one attempted or could recreate. Yes it does have some similarities with The Blob but it's stands more on it's own. The movie centers heavily around these aliens that looks like clowns killing people. This may have the highest body count of any killer clown movie ever made.
I am such a fan of this movie that I made sure one of the front covers got to be The Killer Klowns Kollection's front cover. This movie has a huge fan base still going strong to this day. A very unique take of several concepts. Honestly I never seen any killer clowns more evil & wicked as these creatures.
Killer Klowns from Outer Space has such a good theme song. Even for a low budget movie, a lot of people are really impressed by it including myself. I would go as far to say this is the perfect killer clown movie. Sure it doesn't have much blood like people from my generation can't get enough. What it does have is a huge body count.
This movie has so many killer clowns it's ridiculous. Oh ok not as ridiculous as their arsenal of weapons. Trust me I could describe them all in full detail to make this already lengthy blog much longer. This is a movie that not only stands the test of time but always becomes rewatchable. I honestly could watch an all day marathon of this movie I'm not kidding it's that good.
12. Slaughter High
A lot of people who worked on some Friday the 13th movies made this. Originally going to be called April Fools Day but they didn't want to cause problems with another horror movie having that title. They decided to rename it as Slaughter High. This movie sorta reminds me of the first Toxic Avenger movie.
Of course there's plenty of revenge horror movies. I would say this is one of the best revenge horror movies I ever seen. Slaughter High does play some Friday the 13th tricks but at the same time brings it's own. This movie is a true classic that more people need to check out. Yes the killer would be a killer clown despite being silence in most kill scenes.
Most kill scenes are very well done including stuff I haven't seen in other horror movies. Like this guy drinks a beer with his guts exploding out of him. The ending will freak you out in more ways than one just like some Friday the 13th movies. Slaughter High is technically better than some Friday the 13th movies.
13. Carnival of Souls
Carnival of Souls not to be confused with it's terrible 90s remake is a clever movie. Yes this is a public domain horror movie that people are still talking about today. A very different kind of horror that not a lot of people would like. I can see more older people enjoying it in the right mind set. Carnivals of Souls isn't a killer clown movies but there's a lot of laughter in some parts.
This movie is not only standing the test of time but still inspiring people. This was a low budget movie made quickly on a few locations. Originally the director had experience with educational videos. He was on a vacation then he noticed a particular place that inspired this place.

14. The Devil's Rejects
A follow up to House of 1000 Corpses. Rob Zombie really delivered one of the possibly greatest horror movie sequels I have ever seen. The Devil's Rejects is a very different tone from the original. At the same time, it does an amazing job having the killers shining. This movie is in all honestly a very good in every sense of the word.
More recently, they confirmed 3 from Hell being the new entry. The firefly family was heavily inspired by The Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies. The same movies to also inspired The Bakers in Resident Evil VII. I felt The Devil's Rejects did the concept the most justice. There is a lot of people that die in this movie.
Unfortunately this was the actor playing Tiny last movie before he died. I felt he gave us a great final performance. This movie improves over most things done in the previous movie. I also felt this did a better job showing off Captain Spaulding. Yes he had more entertaining scenes in House of 1000 Corpses but he gave us a great performance in this movie.
15. Krampus
Krampus was still new to having horror movie based on him. Most of them are very bad movies. Thankfully there are some good Krampus movies like this one by Universal.

Although I wasn't crazy about Krampus' design it still does it's job. This movie can play towards several kind of fears. Krampus is truly a Christmas horror classic more family could enjoy.
16. Stitches
My bonus killer clown movie is last but it sure packs a lot of puns lol. Stitches is also currently on Netflix. The story centers around Tom's birthday party where he & his friends did pranks on Stitches. The last prank went horribly wrong that led to his death. Tom went to a cemetery to be found by a cult of clowns with a warning.
A few years later, Tom arranges a house party for his birthday. Of course most of the ones responsible for what happened to Stitches ends up going to it.

OMG that dream sequence in a class room was disturbing. I really enjoyed all the death scenes including Stitches' second death.
Jack Red reviews Gingerdead Man series
Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, to me Full Moon's Gingerdead Man is possibly the most ridiculous Chucky rip off. I could've stopped at Jack Frost with a killer snowman or Dolly in Dolly Dearest. But come on a killer gingerbread man lol. Whatever Full Moon was smoking I want some lol. On a more serious note I all the Gingerdead Man movies.
Yes I am aware he's in some Evil Bong movies following their crossover movie. He also cameo in the first Evil Bong movie with Jack Attack from Demonic Toys series. This character does things I'm sure got allowed to be in these movies. He is basically a living cookie man that's hardcore ripping off Child's Play Chucky.
The Gingerdead Man (2005)
By now everyone knows Gary Busey is in this movie. He is such an amazing actor with a strange sense of humor. I got to be honest to me this is his worst performance. The movie starts up with a psychopath named Millard Findlemeyer. One of the worst killer's names I have ever heard. I strongly prefer his later name Gingerdead Man.
Millard kills two of Sarah's relatives in front of her at a diner & escapes after a quick shot to her. You would think this could've been a start to a porno movie since some of them involves murder lol. He got caught to be sentence to death. His witch mother sneaks his ashes into a bakery titled as gingerbread mixing.
Seriously that's your excuse for having him becoming a killer gingerbread man? Oh wait it gets worse during the process a guy gets a cut bleeding into the machine. This broke a few safety cooking rules that can get you fired on the spot because it can cause someone to end up in an hospital or worse. I guess they're too stupid to notice the blood was mixing into the cookie dough.
There's some weird scenes in this movie like they found one of their friends in the freezer. Gingerdead Man covered her in a lot of cream oh come on. He drives a rival bakery owner's car to kill him with it. Even Chucky had trouble driving a car. Somehow Gingerdead Man was able to use a rolling pin which doesn't make any sense.
Not one kill including both deaths of Gingerdead Man stands out. What surprisingly does stand out is how bad the acting gets from start to finish. They all seem like a bunch of annoying cheer leaders. At least this took place at a bakery. This is one of the strangest Full Moon movies of it's time for many reasons. By now you could see why I included the Gingerdead Man trilogy into The Killer Klowns Kollection.
Gingerdead Man 2: Passion of the Crust (2008)
Hands down this was the best Gingerdead Man movie. Oh wait that's still not saying much no it's like me saying you better go clean your toilet before you will need more than your basic stuff. This is one ridiculous movie that has a very loose connection to the original. It never explained how Gingerdead Man is alive again.
This time he is killing people at an indie movie studio. True fact most of what you actually see is based on Full Moon themselves. In that regard I felt that was kinda cool. They changed Gingerdead Man's voice actor but he turns out to be his best voice. Yes Gary Busey really dropped the ball on the character.
Also do I even need to mention how bad that title is? It is a obvious reference to Mel Gibson's Passion of the Crist. Another interesting fact is not counting alternate releases with other movies. This movie has two different covers with one of them being exclusive to Full Moon's website. Trust me if you haven't seen a ridiculous Full Moon movie that will hit the spot.
I can happily see most kills are simply more entertaining than those in the original. I do confess I kinda like this movie for my own reasons. Gingerdead Man 2 does up it's game in many areas. The characters are slightly better but I still don't have a favorite among them. Sometimes that helps you getting into the killer more in these movies.
We get to see more of Gingerdead Man's twisted personality. I thought Chucky was crazy but compared to Gingerdead Man, he would be sane lol. This has one of the strangest, mess up, disturbing endings I have ever seen. Trust me even if I took the time to fully describe it. You already heard better bad jokes that somehow gets some people laughing.
Gingerdead Man attempts to do a ritual but it causes the other ridiculous smaller machine characters to come alive. They forced Gingerdead Man to a cross with a similar crown Jesus wore before burning him alive. Their old actor comes in gunning all of them down. He gets angry no one was shooting what just happened.
A homeless guy eats a part of Gingerdead Man to become him laughing as the movie ends. Yeah all of that makes me question my own sanity. I will say it does have the best jokes but they're still not good. They did put a lot of thought behind this movie. I wouldn't mine rewatching this underrated Full Moon movie again.
Gingerdead Man 3: Saturday Night Cleaver (2011)
Remember when I said Gingerdead Man was ridiculous? Can you believe Full Moon quickly left go of that handle for this movie. I would say as stupid the title sounds it is the best title among all Gingerdead Man movies. Trust me if you haven't seen this movie I got a lot to cover trying to keep my face straight.
Full Moon had problems during the making of this movie. They did allow some fans to appear in the movie to die later. Although the ending itself which I will talk about later makes no damn sense at all. Gingerdead Man 3 completely ignores the first two movies just like Killjoy 3 did. Although that movie was amazing compared to this crap.
I knew as soon as I first started watching Full Moon really doesn't know what to do with the character. I guess they didn't want to constantly do a series of movies at a bakery. The movie starts in a prison especially for bad desserts no I'm not kidding. One of the inmates literately shoots cream at their parody of Clarice Starling from Hannibal series.
Gingerdead Man does a terrible Anthony Hopkins' impression. A bunch of idiots broke in this prison to free it's inmates including Gingerdead Man. He found a time machine killing two scientists before escaping. He ends up going back in time to 1976. I should mention they once again change his voice actor.
Not my favorite voice of the character but he did say some of my favorite lines. I should mention some arcade machines does appear that wasn't originally from the 70s. Back then in that business they were more focus on pinball machines. The more you know am I right lol. Some of his most ridiculous kills ever are present here.
This movie really doesn't waste any time to go all out parody. We went from Hannibal series to Carrie & Saturday Night Fever? Now that by itself bags the question what the hell was Full Moon thinking? There is a scene where he gets his thing ripped off then eaten wow gross guys. I should mention the now famous dumbest moment I ever heard in any Full Moon movie.
Are you seriously ready to hear something so damn stupid it could make your mind go blind from it's sheer stupidity? The owner of this skating place told her grand daughter about if she didn't mess up her famous trick. World War 2 would never happened? What you just heard that yourselves you must be so high you can't even think.
Oh wait you have heard how bad the ending is yet, trust me it's much worse than that. Two kids earlier in the movie found the remote to the same time machine Gingerdead Man used to escape. Although it was meant for living desserts to use it. Are you confused yet because I haven't got to how ridiculous it gets.
The kids told their story with the time machine preventing his escape from ever happening. Which means every victim he killed is suddenly alive again. Some of the evilest people who ever lived are back to force Gingerdead Man into a cookie jar. This includes Hitler, Charles Manson, Jeffrey Dahmer & Lizzie Borden.
WOW serial killers & Hitler forced a killer gingerbread man into a cookie jar is already one of the dumbest things I have ever heard. Oh wait it gets even worse than that can you believe it? These historical figures take some time to party going back to their correct time period. How the kids were able to pull that off is never explained.
The owner of the place gets a check to save her business but ends up giving it to her grand daughter. She chose to go back to that moment prior to World War 2 starting to finish her act. Those from the future takes Gingerdead Man back to prison. Now what in the holy hell was Full Moon inhaling or taking to come up with this?
Oh please I really would like to know. This is one of the dumbest Full Moon movies I have ever seen. Sadly this would be the last Gingerdead Man movie prior to the crossover movie. I almost would've said this was the worst looking Gingerdead Man. No that's in the next movie to reuse that model for a couple Evil Bong movies.
Gingerdead Man vs. Evil Bong (2013)
Despite the vs in the title, not once in the entire movie do these two fight each other. In fact, a handful of scenes late in the movie has both of them. Which is disappointing in it's own right. Remember when I talked about how Dollman vs. The Demonic Toys retold previous movies? They do a similar process except it kinda off kinda boring even covering the important parts almost put me to sleep.
I am not a fan of Evil Bong series also how is that Full Moon's major investment than Puppet Master series? All I see is a weird talking bong that really doesn't do anything but curse too much. By doing a movie with two monsters cursing with a very small body count doesn't help things. Do I even need to say it?
This is even worse for both franchise since neither characters shines not even the slightest. I would say this is hands down the most boring Full Moon movie I have ever seen. Even Gingerdead Man 3 with it's insane ridiculousness was slightly more entertaining. Of course that's not saying much either. Finally they brought back Sarah the one person Gingerdead Man hates.
Oh no the same actress also plays a different character in Evil Bong series. They thought by doing an argument between both characters to help her shine but it doesn't anything. The weirdest thing about this movie involves all following Evil Bong movies may connect to it. At the same time they didn't call this Evil Bong 4.
I am not kidding the following Evil Bong was called Evil Bong 420 which came two years later. Clearly parts of this movie led to that movie so why isn't this called either franchise's fourth movie? Am I missing something or trying to make more sense out of something that never made sense in the first place?
Hell there's no hiding it, I really don't care for this movie. They seriously down played Gingerdead Man which followed up to his death in Evil Bong 666. Yes I know about that Full Moon. Clearly they really didn't know how to use the character. Who easily could've been one of their best in the right hands.
Yes I am aware he's in some Evil Bong movies following their crossover movie. He also cameo in the first Evil Bong movie with Jack Attack from Demonic Toys series. This character does things I'm sure got allowed to be in these movies. He is basically a living cookie man that's hardcore ripping off Child's Play Chucky.
The Gingerdead Man (2005)
By now everyone knows Gary Busey is in this movie. He is such an amazing actor with a strange sense of humor. I got to be honest to me this is his worst performance. The movie starts up with a psychopath named Millard Findlemeyer. One of the worst killer's names I have ever heard. I strongly prefer his later name Gingerdead Man.
Millard kills two of Sarah's relatives in front of her at a diner & escapes after a quick shot to her. You would think this could've been a start to a porno movie since some of them involves murder lol. He got caught to be sentence to death. His witch mother sneaks his ashes into a bakery titled as gingerbread mixing.
Seriously that's your excuse for having him becoming a killer gingerbread man? Oh wait it gets worse during the process a guy gets a cut bleeding into the machine. This broke a few safety cooking rules that can get you fired on the spot because it can cause someone to end up in an hospital or worse. I guess they're too stupid to notice the blood was mixing into the cookie dough.
There's some weird scenes in this movie like they found one of their friends in the freezer. Gingerdead Man covered her in a lot of cream oh come on. He drives a rival bakery owner's car to kill him with it. Even Chucky had trouble driving a car. Somehow Gingerdead Man was able to use a rolling pin which doesn't make any sense.
Not one kill including both deaths of Gingerdead Man stands out. What surprisingly does stand out is how bad the acting gets from start to finish. They all seem like a bunch of annoying cheer leaders. At least this took place at a bakery. This is one of the strangest Full Moon movies of it's time for many reasons. By now you could see why I included the Gingerdead Man trilogy into The Killer Klowns Kollection.
Gingerdead Man 2: Passion of the Crust (2008)
Hands down this was the best Gingerdead Man movie. Oh wait that's still not saying much no it's like me saying you better go clean your toilet before you will need more than your basic stuff. This is one ridiculous movie that has a very loose connection to the original. It never explained how Gingerdead Man is alive again.
This time he is killing people at an indie movie studio. True fact most of what you actually see is based on Full Moon themselves. In that regard I felt that was kinda cool. They changed Gingerdead Man's voice actor but he turns out to be his best voice. Yes Gary Busey really dropped the ball on the character.
Also do I even need to mention how bad that title is? It is a obvious reference to Mel Gibson's Passion of the Crist. Another interesting fact is not counting alternate releases with other movies. This movie has two different covers with one of them being exclusive to Full Moon's website. Trust me if you haven't seen a ridiculous Full Moon movie that will hit the spot.
I can happily see most kills are simply more entertaining than those in the original. I do confess I kinda like this movie for my own reasons. Gingerdead Man 2 does up it's game in many areas. The characters are slightly better but I still don't have a favorite among them. Sometimes that helps you getting into the killer more in these movies.
We get to see more of Gingerdead Man's twisted personality. I thought Chucky was crazy but compared to Gingerdead Man, he would be sane lol. This has one of the strangest, mess up, disturbing endings I have ever seen. Trust me even if I took the time to fully describe it. You already heard better bad jokes that somehow gets some people laughing.
Gingerdead Man attempts to do a ritual but it causes the other ridiculous smaller machine characters to come alive. They forced Gingerdead Man to a cross with a similar crown Jesus wore before burning him alive. Their old actor comes in gunning all of them down. He gets angry no one was shooting what just happened.
A homeless guy eats a part of Gingerdead Man to become him laughing as the movie ends. Yeah all of that makes me question my own sanity. I will say it does have the best jokes but they're still not good. They did put a lot of thought behind this movie. I wouldn't mine rewatching this underrated Full Moon movie again.
Gingerdead Man 3: Saturday Night Cleaver (2011)
Remember when I said Gingerdead Man was ridiculous? Can you believe Full Moon quickly left go of that handle for this movie. I would say as stupid the title sounds it is the best title among all Gingerdead Man movies. Trust me if you haven't seen this movie I got a lot to cover trying to keep my face straight.
Full Moon had problems during the making of this movie. They did allow some fans to appear in the movie to die later. Although the ending itself which I will talk about later makes no damn sense at all. Gingerdead Man 3 completely ignores the first two movies just like Killjoy 3 did. Although that movie was amazing compared to this crap.
I knew as soon as I first started watching Full Moon really doesn't know what to do with the character. I guess they didn't want to constantly do a series of movies at a bakery. The movie starts in a prison especially for bad desserts no I'm not kidding. One of the inmates literately shoots cream at their parody of Clarice Starling from Hannibal series.
Gingerdead Man does a terrible Anthony Hopkins' impression. A bunch of idiots broke in this prison to free it's inmates including Gingerdead Man. He found a time machine killing two scientists before escaping. He ends up going back in time to 1976. I should mention they once again change his voice actor.
Not my favorite voice of the character but he did say some of my favorite lines. I should mention some arcade machines does appear that wasn't originally from the 70s. Back then in that business they were more focus on pinball machines. The more you know am I right lol. Some of his most ridiculous kills ever are present here.
This movie really doesn't waste any time to go all out parody. We went from Hannibal series to Carrie & Saturday Night Fever? Now that by itself bags the question what the hell was Full Moon thinking? There is a scene where he gets his thing ripped off then eaten wow gross guys. I should mention the now famous dumbest moment I ever heard in any Full Moon movie.
Are you seriously ready to hear something so damn stupid it could make your mind go blind from it's sheer stupidity? The owner of this skating place told her grand daughter about if she didn't mess up her famous trick. World War 2 would never happened? What you just heard that yourselves you must be so high you can't even think.
Oh wait you have heard how bad the ending is yet, trust me it's much worse than that. Two kids earlier in the movie found the remote to the same time machine Gingerdead Man used to escape. Although it was meant for living desserts to use it. Are you confused yet because I haven't got to how ridiculous it gets.
The kids told their story with the time machine preventing his escape from ever happening. Which means every victim he killed is suddenly alive again. Some of the evilest people who ever lived are back to force Gingerdead Man into a cookie jar. This includes Hitler, Charles Manson, Jeffrey Dahmer & Lizzie Borden.
WOW serial killers & Hitler forced a killer gingerbread man into a cookie jar is already one of the dumbest things I have ever heard. Oh wait it gets even worse than that can you believe it? These historical figures take some time to party going back to their correct time period. How the kids were able to pull that off is never explained.
The owner of the place gets a check to save her business but ends up giving it to her grand daughter. She chose to go back to that moment prior to World War 2 starting to finish her act. Those from the future takes Gingerdead Man back to prison. Now what in the holy hell was Full Moon inhaling or taking to come up with this?
