A franchise podcast for the Horror Completionist. Hosts James Strayer and John C Meyers talk and analyze their way film by film through horror's longest running franchises. How do they evolve? What do new filmmakers bring when a franchise is several films deep? Usually, they start out great but perhaps 6- 8 entries in... they start to hurt a bit. Music by Michael Arthur Holloway and logo by Ethan Kimberling.

    Is it a remake? A soft reboot? A back to the basics scarefest? Kind of all of the same! After the previous two films that traded more in comedy, this one goes for a Gothic, suspense/ horror film- starring Chucky. Brad Dourif's daughter Fiona makes her debut making the Chucky series a true family affair.
