Yeah, you don't show Chucky running Brittney Spears off a cliff to a fiery death in the movie's trailer and then follow it up with John Waters saying "God bless the little people!" unless you're aiming for laughs.
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Hey. New board.
Yeah, good point. I was actually thinking of the third Chucky movie, which was bad in a giggly way. Don't know why I was getting them confused, totally different movie.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
My friend Janet was in Bride of Chucky.
My friend Phil's girlfriend was the Bride of Chucky.
Sorry. But how often am I really going to get to say that?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But how often am I really going to get to say that?
As rarely as possible, hopefully.

If it were me, I'd drop it all the time.
"Say, David, have you filed those TPR reports yet?"
"I'm on my way right now. Oh, and my friend Phil's girlfriend was the Bride of Chucky."

Elvira's Haunted Hills
I own this movie, and I really don't think it's watchable, even in this context. Even though it stars Richard O'Brien.
Which brings up Rocky Horror Picture Show. Also, Dark Star. For more Carpenter, They Live has a funny 20-minute fight with two muscled guys trying to get each other to put on sunglasses.
My friend Phil's girlfriend was the Bride of Chucky.
I called this out during a preview: "Hey! That's my friend's friend's girlfriend!"

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Every time I step out of the shower and towel myself dry, I find myself wondering, "Is this the towel that toweled dry the Bride of Chucky's hair?" It makes shower time almost unbearably exciting.

Surely the bloodstains would give the towel away.

Maybe Bubba Hotep would fit in the horror with a chuckle category. It has The Chin working for it.
