Seed of Chucky Kerfuffle (explanation of the reupload)

Hey guys, just wanted to fill y'all in on what happened with Seed. 

For some reason when I made the video public yesterday, it seems as though YouTube didn't push it out into its algorithm / subscriber feeds the same way it always does with my videos, and so as the day continued, I realized more and more just how messed up the viewcount was going to be. At the end of the day, it only had 70k views - even Night of the Living Dead had over 100k, and I believe Bride the week before was at 20...

Early Release for Seed of Chucky

Hey y'all! Dropping Seed of Chucky tonight for all you wonderful patrons. Let me know if you notice any issues with the video - I notice a FEW things but I think they're tiny enough not to warrant an entirely new export and upload, which is always annoying (especially since my harddrive is doing that weird thing again - UGH). 

I'm happy with the episode overall though and I freakin love the thumbnail for it. Let me know your thoughts!! And thank you as always for your support!

Early Release for Bride of Chucky

Woo! Here you go, patrons - your early release of the 4th Child's Play movie, Bride of Chucky. Shit starts to get crazy here. Also, I really like this episode of the KC! Maybe it's a thing where I'll really love the even-numbered episodes of the Chucky series because my CP2 Kill Count is one of my favorites and this is right up there with it. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do, and thanks as always for your wonderful support <3

Early Release for Child's Play 3

Hey y'all! Here's your early release for CP3! Definitely not my favorite movie in the series but hopefully you're satisfied with this episode. I'm thinking of fixing the thumbnail tonight, it's not really doing it for me the way the past few thumbnails have gotten me excited - something about the picture and maybe the color and size of the movie title. Dunno. But check it out and thanks so much for your support!! <3

YOU DECIDE: Next Series for the Kill Count

Hey everybody! I've been saying I'd do this for a while and now it's finally time - time for YOU, my wonderful supportive patrons, to help me decide what the next (small) series I cover on the Kill Count will be!

This is a poll open to ALL patrons, no matter the amount, so please respond to it. YOU CAN VOTE FOR AS MANY SERIES AS YOU WANT - you don't have to pick just one! And if you have a suggestion for a series with 4 or less movies total in it (including all sequels and remakes) that isn't ...

Early Release for Stephen King's IT - Part 2

Hey folks! While the fuckin PLEBS are eating up Part 1 of this video, y'all get to chow down on Part 2!!!! This will of course get a wide release on Friday meaning you get to see it a full 3 days ahead of schedule. Damn I'm good. 

Just be sure not to share this link with anyone, and feel free to leave comments on the video so people know you're special ;)

Thanks as always for your support! The Patreon is growing strong!!! <3

Early Release for Stephen King's IT - Part 1

If any of you were in the stream yesterday (I know Matt was!) you saw me get real close to finishing this video last night. Well, after the stream finished, I went ahead and kept working until I was completely done with it. I decided I'm gonna release it Tuesday instead of Wednesday since that'll be more equidistant between other releases (and I remember the ranked Friday the 13th video did really well and it was released on a Tuesday) but y'all get it today because you're awesome. Thanks again ...

Early Release for Child's Play 2

Y'alll it's Thursday so that means you patrons get your Kill Count episode! And I think this is a GOOD one. A bit on the shorter side as far as Kill Counts go but possibly the most jokes I've ever fit into a single episode. Dope. Let me know how you like it! Go ahead and leave a comment (and a like!) on YouTube to show off your special early access privileges ;) and thank you, as always, for supporting me and this channel. You guys are the best. 

The best thing I've ever made

Hey patrons! Hope you're having a happy Sunday. If you missed the marathon 9 hours of editing livestreams I did yesterday and you want to experience what I consider the best (and most hilarious) thing I've ever made, check out this section of the stream that came after I was exhausted and silly.

If you're a Game of Thrones fan be sure to tune into my other channel, Practical Folks, after the episode for a livestream discussion! Thanks for your support, y'all <3

Stephen King's IT

Hey guys, just thought I'd share a random update with you. I'm working on the script for IT right now, and if you've been to enough livestreams you may know that the script-writing phase is my least-favorite part of writing a Kill Count, just because it takes so much time and energy. You can edit when you're not in the mood to edit; you can't really write when you're not in the mood to.

And BOY am I not in the mood to. But I can't stop because, just 40 minutes into this 3 hour epic, I'm alread...

Early Release for Child's Play

Oh boy. It's finally here. Another big franchise. Are you guys as excited as I am? I've been working on these damn movies for weeks now and I'm excited to finally release the first proof of my work here. Make sure you guys like and leave a comment on the video so I know you're my fancy patrons <3

As always, please do not share this link with anyone else.

Fun fact for this one: I messed up during filming in a way that couldn't be fixed (at least not easily) in post, so there's a weird ...

Early Release for Get Out

Hey guys, here's the early release for Get Out! Really excited about this one. I also tried a new sound processing technique since I got a few negative comments about the audio in the last two videos. As early viewers I'd LOVE to hear your feedback about it, in case it's really bad I have time to change it before the wide release on Friday. So leave comments and let me know, and I hope you enjoy the video! Thanks!

New Link for Early Night of the Living Dead

So my buddy Graessle pointed something out to me that really bugged me in my upload of NOTLD - in fact it bugged me so much, I came home from work and re-recorded a single line, re-exported the video, and re-uploaded it to YouTube. So this is the new link and the version of the video that will go public tomorrow morning. The old one is dead. 

Fun game: Can you figure out which line is the new one and why I changed it? Have fun scouting for it! 

Early Release for Night of the Living Dead

Hey patrons! Got dat early release for you all. Please don't share this link but please DO check out Night of the Living Dead and leave me comments :) 

Thanks as always for your support <3

Patreon rewards on their way

Hey y'all! As the new month begins that means Patreon will be charging your cards at your subscription rates. We picked up a LOT of new patrons this past month so I know this is a first for a lot of you - thanks so much for sticking around if it is. It looks like a few people bailed out before the actual charges went through which is a real bummer, especially since I've been sending everyone the early releases all month just trusting they'd stick around for the charge. Kinda feels like those peo...

Early Release for The Thing

Hey patrons! Here's your early release for the Kill Count of my favorite horror movie, The Thing! Again, I'm sending this to all my patrons as a celebration of reaching the first 1000 on Patreon! 

Making this video had a ton of problems. Not only was I at Comic-Con for 4 days this week (an eternity in work time when you have to put out a video every week) but the first time I went to film the episode I had major technical difficulties involving the sound recorder getting knocked down and ...

First 1000!!

Guys I can't believe I didn't make a post about this when it happened but the other day this Patreon hit the $1000 mark!!! I have ALL of you to thank, every single one of you, for getting me to this milestone. 

That means I'm already 20% of the way to my goal of 5k that I believe would be sufficient to let me leave my job and do this full time. I know that sounds like a lot of money, but trust me, I'm not trying to fleece anyone or stay at my job any longer than necessary. I just have to ...

Early Release for Comic-Con video

Hey guys! Managed to get back early today and finish this video just in time for Game of Thrones. It'll go up tomorrow morning but I always want my patrons to get first dibs if ever possible, so here you go! Thanks again for your support <3

Early Release for Scream 4

Wooo boy. Anyone who's been to the editing livestreams this week know how stressed I've been finishing this episode and getting everything lined up for The Thing while also preparing for Comic-Con. Well, I just barely scrapped by but I did it! Here is the completed Kill Count for Scream 4 - I'm posting this literally as the last thing I do before I walk out the door to head down to San Diego for Comic-Con.

I'm hoping to shoot a short video for Dead Meat while I'm there! And if you're going to ...

A GREAT day for my Patreon

Wow. Wow wow wow. 17 new patrons in a single day. I'm overwhelmed by how awesome you guys are. Thank you for your support and if you're new here make sure you explore this page and any posts that are unlocked to you at your level. I really think that with all of your support I could be doing this full time by the end of the year! Maybe sooner if I'm lucky! ♥️

Early Release for Scream 3

Hey y'all, got that early release for tomorrow's video! This was a tough one for me - I had to re-record like a dozen lines last night that I came up with at the last minute to help punch up the script and make it funnier since this is the longest Kill Count to date. Not sure how that happened, but whatever, I'm pretty happy with the end product - better than the pile of shit movie it's covering. IN ANY CASE thank you for your patronage! <3

Tomorrow's a Very Patron Day

Hey errbody,

Tomorrow (Tuesday 7/11 - happens to be my sister's birthday, woop woop) is gonna be chock full of Patreon rewards.

For my $10 and up patrons I'll be holding a livestream. Not exactly sure what platform we'll use yet or what we'll do, but I'll have that information out sometime during the day ahead of our 6pm PST stream.

For my $20 and up patrons I'll be recording (and hopefully uploading) my review of Puppetmaster. I just watc...

Early Release of Ranked Friday the 13th Movies Video!

Hey guys! Tomorrow I'm releasing my first little bonus video for the channel that I used my holiday weekend to make (and mostly finished up yesterday during my marathon 7 hour editing livestream). I was actually able to finish all the audio stuff in the 2 hours I had before work this morning so it's uploaded and ready to go. Which means you guys get to see it NOW!

Please don't share this link with anyone: https...

Welcome, new patrons!

Hey guys! I got a handful of new patrons over the past week and I just wanted to thank and welcome you all to the page! I'm insanely grateful for all of you, new and old patrons alike. It's an honor that you enjoy my content enough to be willing to help pay for it and I promise it will be worth it. I've never been more devoted to a project - and those of you who have followed me since Practical Folks know how much I put into that channel and those videos. But Dead Meat means even more to me a...

Upcoming Video (non-Kill Count)

Hey guys, in case you missed the editing livestream where I mentioned it, I'm currently working on a video where I rank the Friday the 13th films from worst to best. Basically I noticed that the Scream Kill Count wasn't getting the same kind of views because it wasn't being suggested to YouTube viewers as much, since most people who discovered my channel came from watching videos about the Ft13th video game. So in order to capitalize further on how popular that game is right now, I want to make ...

EXTRA Early Release for Scream

Sup errbody! I managed to get ahead on Scream (it helps that none of these movies are going to need any Jason mask censoring, which can take a day in and of itself - looking at you, 2009 Friday the 13th) and the episode is completed and uploaded. Once again, I decided that as long as it's done, might as well share with the people who are supporting me here!

Please don't share this link with anyone: https://www.yout...

EXTRA Early Release of Friday the 13th (2009 Reboot)

As I transition from one series to another, I have to be really on top of shit because of the Kill Count workflow. In other words, I have to spend today and the rest of this week preparing Scream, not finishing up the video being released this Friday - the Kill Count for Friday the 13th (2009 reboot).

That's why I finished up this video late last night and uploaded it this morning. And I could wait until tomorrow to send the link out to you wonderful patron,s but I figured if it's up and onlin...

Early Release of Freddy vs. Jason

Hey Patrons! Here's your early access link for the Kill Count episode of Freddy vs. Jason, which gets a wide release tomorrow. I think it's one of the best episodes I've done, possibly the best one. Great for anyone who likes jokes about Nicholas Cage!

Thanks again for your support <3

Progress on Scream

Hi Patrons! Just thought I'd share that tonight I finished the fourth Scream script and recorded my temporary "scratch track" (an audio-only reading of the script) of all four episodes to edit a rough cut onto.

Still a lot of work to do - there's the actual edit itself for each episode, then a script rewrite, then shooting the actual episode with me and the set and lighting and everything, and then finally the actual edit where I add graphics and color and music and everything - but a big step...
