Re-Watching Spirit Trap (2005)!
Whenever the lines between fantasy & reality blur, why is it that humans are the ones freaking out? I believe that ghosts, spirits, & others in the fantasy world would have a much harder time adjusting! Gravity, physics, sickness & wait till they have to pay bills!

I'm guessing that when a masked killer with unique knives and a shoulder mounted camera asks his friends & coworkers over on Saturday to view his latest kill movie, they would have to have plenty of Dramamine! The last thing you want is an audience getting motion sickness from the jerky camera work!

Re-Watching Killer High (2018)!
I would be terrified if the mascot of any of the schools I went came to life as a giant murderous real version! A coyote, hornet, stallion...What would be more frightening though would be the actual mascot outfit coming to life! We had some shady costumes!

Just Watched Bigfoot's Bride (2021)!
A mutant hairless bigfoot roams the forest hoping one day to find himself a bride. Killing all male trespassers, it finally gets a chance to woo a woman, but it's too shy to make its move! Will bigfoot ever find that special someone?

Re-Watching Child's Play (2019)!
It's sad that people in need of robot friends, start to move away from them as they find living friends. They're built for friendship, of course they'll be upset. Makes you wonder how other gadgets you replace feel about being tossed out after all they've done!

Killer is captured,
Transported by an airplane,
The Prisoners escape,
Flight Attendant must stop him,
Will she bring the plane down safe?

Re-Watching Cult of Chucky (2017)!
Having survive multiple doll cults in my life, I can honestly say they are truly something to behold. Starting with Cabbage Patch, Barbie, Monster High, which all paved the way for the terrifying American Doll cult! A psychotic doll could easily find a following!

Re-Watching Curse of Chucky (2013)!
Family reunions are always difficult, so the best way to mix it up is to invite a psychotic doll to the reunion to give the family something else to talk about. Ridicule, judging, belittling, jealousy, & insults aside, a little worry and panic can go a long way!

Seeing all the creatures of the forest walking by your cabin should warn you that something horrible is happening & the animals somehow know first...although you also know since they are walking by so close, they don't see you as a threat...and if you are a hunter, they know about your aim!

Re-Watching Seed of Chucky (2004)!
You don't see a lot of dolls that are actual babies or toddlers. It's because children would start asking questions about where babies come from & it would make parents uncomfortable...Why don't parents tell kids about the stork anymore? They need to know!

Poisonous Toxins are dropped into a pond,
Arachnids mutate, and huge spiders are spawned,
Townsfolk seek refuge in the mall,
Retreat to the mines one and all,

Re-Watching Bride of Chucky (1998)!
Sure, nobody would have a problem with you going spouse shopping at a doll store when you are a doll, but when you're a human and you're looking for a doll spouse, & all of a sudden you're a depraved pervert! Would a doll be perverted if it wanted a human spouse?

When your child's room is swarming with filthy insects, it is so much easier to claim that they have been possessed by an evil demon, than it is to simply admit your child is absolutely disgusting and doesn't clean up after themselves! Just remember what you were like growing up...or in college!

Re-Watching Child's Play 2 (1990)!
It might not the biggest seller, but every doll should come out with a Voodoo Ritual playset. After a legal battle, it would be pulled from shelves...then the buyers could sell it for a huge profit! Of course, why would they need money if they have voodoo?

Re-Watching Child's Play (1988)!
I'm not so sure the doll is at fault. Surely the manufacturer has a detailed list of things that you need to keep the doll away from! Knives, hammers (real or toy), scissors, matches, liquor, lighters, guns, cleaning supplies, poison and a laundry list of others.
