Child's Play Child's Play
1988
I freaking love Halloween, and watching spooky movies. This is a place for me to keep a little record of what my family and I (mostly I) did, watched, and listened to each Halloween.
A classic.
I can't believe it took me this long to watch this movie. I was aware of it being credited as the prototype for slashers, but I didn't know much beyond that. I expected to see some slasher DNA, but also assumed it'd be either kind of bland, or just bad. But it was neither of those things! I'm so surprised by how good this was. Great cast of characters, some really creative shots, some genuinely creepy elements, and a whodunit aspect that kept me interested.
One of my all-time favorites.
An instant classic as both a comedy and a horror movie.Â
