161 - Trailer Trash Voodoo (For Dummies) - Bride of Chucky (1998)

Welcome back to Fright School! We have to start with a huge dose of gratitude for all of the well wishes we received after our little scare here in the Fright School family. You all are too kind and generous. This week we're catching up on getting "back to normal," but we know damn good and well we've ALL seen this movie before. 28 WEEKS LATER, anyone? Joe watched THE VAULT. Joshua read Max Brooks' DEVOLUTION. Hymlocke has missed Joe and gets a bit messy. We continue our Horror Brides month with BRIDE OF CHUCKY (1998)! We're all over the place with this one, folks! We thought of this as a spiritual sibling to BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN and the perfect follow up to that episode. It's a fun, ridiculous romp and after the week we had it was a nice antidote! Chucky gets lucky? We'll be the judge of that... We popped up on EVERY MONTH MADNESS to discuss Queer Coded Cartoon characters. Part 1 is available NOW! FOLLOW US!
