About this listen

A franchise podcast for the Horror Completionist. Hosts James Strayer and John C Meyers talk and analyze their way film by film through horror's longest running franchises. How do they evolve? What do new filmmakers bring when a franchise is several films deep? Usually, they start out great but perhaps 6- 8 entries in... they start to hurt a bit. Music by Michael Arthur Holloway and logo by Ethan Kimberling.

    Mar 21 2026

    "Child's Play 3" hit the theaters a mere nine months after the release of Part 2. Don Mancini, running on creative fumes, set this sequel at a military academy.. and a carnival. And while it's a good time, it lacks some of the momentum and charm of the first two.
