    Jun 8 2026

    We wrap up our IT'S VOODOO, BABY triple feature with Wes Craven’s voodoo-doomed descent into near-death delirium. Zombies are real, the dead still feel, and we're traveling to Haiti at the height of the regime-ending anti-Duvalier protests to meet the soul-snatching bokor Captain Peytraud in THE SERPENT AND THE RAINBOW.

  • Chucky in Tom Holland's CHILD'S PLAY (w/ Don Campbell)
    May 25 2026

    Returning guest Don Campbell joins us as we meet Charles Lee Ray in episode 156, tackling Tom Holland's 1988 classic Child's Play as the second entry in the "It's Voodoo Baby" triple feature.

    We break down all eight of Chucky's major reveals, from the voodoo soul transfer that opens the film to the battery scene confrontation between Karen Barclay and the Good Guy doll, to the fiery finale in the apartment. Along the way we explore Don Mancini's original "Blood Buddy" script, the Cabbage Patch doll craze that inspired the film, the raised soundstage set and practical puppet work that brought Chucky to life, and why Catherine Hicks' performance makes Child's Play as much a story about a struggling single mother as it is a slasher.

    The episode closes with our favorite reveals ranking, real monsters, and a round of "would you survive Chucky?"

    Next up: Wes Craven's The Serpent and the Rainbow closes out the triple feature.
