Wow, Curse of Chucky really exceeded my expectations. Nice to see them dump the laugh-a-thon and return to its horror roots. And nice tie-in to the original, although can't quite say they pulled off making Brad Dourif look like he did 25 years ago. I think I counted no less than four(!) different endings (stick around until after the credits), and they were all extremely satisfying.
Also, for Curse of Chucky...

Watching Best Worst Movie, hoping for someone to talk about Laura Gemser but nothing. There was one behind the scenes photo where you can see her chin and arm. How did nobody mention the ridiculously hot costume designer?!?!?!?!

I also had fun watching all 6 Child's Play films in one day... there's some (dis)contunity between Seed of Chucky and Curse of Chucky that might explain this [spoilers for both].
Regarding jewlery in Curse of Chucky:

(Getting back to Crystal Lake Memories for a bit) I watched it on saturday night. Long as hell, but still a lot shorter than most of the rest of y'all's viewings due to not geting the bonus disc.
Most definetly.
I haven't read the book, but is Steve Miner interviewed in it? I just always assumed (Since he's never around) that he wanted to distance himself from the series. But all the statements and photos (Seen in the doc) indicates that he had the time of his life making those films. Miner made 2 of my most *favorites of the franchise and it's always a drag to never hear what he has to say about them.
*Well, Part 3 is really more of a sentimental favorite since it was the first F13th I ever saw.
After that, I hit Crystal Lake Memories. Got through both discs and about halfway through the bonus disc so far. While it was a good watch, the series just didn't have as many interesting things going on in the production as I though NOES did. It helped rekindle my dislike of Ronnie Yu. It was also nice to see some of the cast and crew very politely express some dislike of what he did. That leading girl in FvJ sure was annoying as well, to say the least.
*Well, Part 3 is really more of a sentimental favorite since it was the first F13th I ever saw.

FYI - Last night's subset pick can count for at least 10 checklist items. I've listed them in the thread, Trilogy of Terror. Some of course can apply to any watches.

Bleh, I just watched Sick Boy as it turned up on some killer/evil child list and it sounded like it could be interesting but it was a piece of poo. And it also isn't really a killer/evil child film. The acting was so bad and the characters were just stupid and annoying. Nothing happened until the last 20 minutes and aside from the end-concept possibly being a cool little twist, it not only made no sense but the build-up was so crappy I didn't even care.

Since other documentaries are being counted, should Talking Dead count because they go into how the show is made and show zombies and how the scares are created?

I thought about counting this last night but though it is basically a talk show and would really need a wild card to count imo.

I watched Evil Ed (1995) which in of itself is an interesting concept - horror movies seem to infect/posses a film editor into madness & murder. The kinetic editing/camera movements evokes Sam Raimi (Evil Dead I and II) and Peter Jackson's 'Dead Alive' - which add to the film, but the english-language ADR dubbing sticks out like a sore thumb - supposedly the actor's are speaking Swedish - but it looks like English to me... whatever. Some of the campy humor seems a tad overkill in a 
nudge-nudge candor in it's various homages to various other genre films in dialogue and character naming (there's a Dr. West) . The gore is pretty extreme and I gather it's an unrated cut because the demise of the titular character is fantastically splattery and a fist pump moment for gorehounds. [Today's the last day for you to check it out via Netflix streaming.]

Caught my last two unseen Henenlotter films - Basket Case 2 and 3. The "freaks" reminded me of something out of an early Peter Jackson film. I'll always take the original with the sleazy grindhouse feel, but these were both fun as all hell.
And I know I'm not the only one that made this connection with 3:
Yes. Didn't even realize it was a Franco film until starting it and, well, I knew the direction it was going from there. Having not yet seen Tigress of Siberia, I'd say Oil Sheiks is my favorite.
I posted this last year, but it's a stock photo that's been making the rounds:

have you seen his 2008 film 'Bad Biology' - Frank is truly a demented guy (that's a positive by the way). Recommended!

or something similar. I say similar because as I was looking at other new releases, I found the same similar stock image on two other movies and then put the one I had back. I think the one I had wasn't dressed like a nun and had a greenish swap at the bottom instead of blue water.

The more I think about it I agree that continuity really breaks down in subtle ways through the Child's Play movies, which is a shame because franchises that build on continuity are a lot of fun for that reason (especially Phantasms, and Friday the 13ths). I think the Chucky doll is a cool villain but his origin story and "rules" seem relative weak even by horror smuck standards, especially the jewlery.
The original Wolf Man is such a perv.

Watched Hellraiser VI: Hellseeker last night. Nice little mindfuck of a movie, though it wasn't strong with the Hellraiser element. Pleasantly surprised.
