    The Numbers section has a mistake - I'm wrong about the other two episodes with the same count and gender breakdown. Child's Play 3 and TCM2 both have 8 kills each, not 10. Apologies for the error!

    Ron Perlman is a fascinating actor. He's starred in at least two movies where almost the entire cast spoke a language other than English despite not being conversant in either Spanish or French. In 'Cronos' he was supposed to speak Spanish but it was changed because his attempts were unusable. in 'City of Lost Children' he learned his lines phonetically. That must be terrifying but he did it and he's amazing in both.

    This show is a great source of entertainment and comfort for my partner and I. It's become a kind of ritual of ours to watch the new video each weekend together and it's helped me to develop a greater appreciation of the horror genre (coming from someone who has mostly avoided them for the majority of my life).
    I led with this because my partner just got back from a long weekend out of town, and the first thing he wanted to do when he got back was sit down with some food and watch the new Kill Count. You and the whole Dead Meat crew do such amazing work in terms of research and writing, we love every bit of it. So thank you James, and thanks to everyone else on the team for bringing such great videos each week. We're loving all the weird stuff during the strike, and honestly would be excited to see more things like this every so often even after the strike is over (we know they're probably a bit more work, especially when getting into foreign language films).
    Once again, thanks for everything! We can't wait for next week!

    Cronos was my very first Criterion Collection purchase. When they evetually released the Trilogia de Guillermo del Toro I immediately upgraded to the bluray, and it is now the prize of my collection. I am so excited to see his Pinocchio getting the same treatment in December

    Thank you, James for covering this movie. I truly believe that this one and El Espinazo del Diablo (The Devil's Backbone) are the most underrated Del Toro's films. Truly believes these two movies served as foundation for what it is to me, his magnum opus, El Laberinto del Fauno (Panth's Labyrinth), which although not a traditional horror movie, I do believe it's where Del Toro really used everything he learned making those previous two movies and putting it into action on Panth's. Everything feels way more polished.

    I think you guys have been doing a great job adjusting Kill Count to support the strikes. I'm sure it's been a lot of work and stress for you guys, but I hope when it's all said and done that you feel it was worth it, not just because of your union support, but also on a creative level. Being forced out of your comfort zone can really pay off.

    This is making me realize that, unless there's a common conceptual ancestor in the vampire mythology or the study of alchemy, Mira from Killer Instinct 2013 is essentially a send-up to Cronos since she's a vampire who has an intro animation where she latches a _silver_ scarab to her hands, alchemy is a major facet of how some of the supernatural creatures in the setting exist, like Saberwulf the werewolf.
