Early Release for this week's Kill Count - the LONGEST EPISODE YET
🕑 Added 2019-01-24 19:06:19 +0000 UTCListen, I'm not happy about having episodes this long. I think it's ridiculous. Plus it's a TON of work to make them - if you didn't catch me editing over on Twitch the other night, then you might not know I sat there for 12 hours straight finishing this episode to get it up on time.
But when you're looking at Halloween 2018, one of the biggest horror movies of last year, which goes out of its way to reference pretty much all the other movies in the franchise, you've just gotta talk about a lot of stuff. The references. The return of John Carpenter. The fact that those two cops were played by dudes who aren't normally actors. I HAD to talk about it all. And thus we have a 33 minute Kill Count.
I'm sorry for being longer than your favorite sitcom. Please forgive me. And thanks for your support! <3

Delighted this has gone up! Like Rhiannan, I was at a screening with a Q&A with JLC and it was so great to see her passion shining through. I absolutely loved this movie - I agree that the Sartain plot unfortunately was a bit of a squib but after the *interesting* choices this franchise has made, it wasn't even in the top 10 worst plots! :) for me, the thing that really stands out the most in this film is the soundtrack and I'm really glad you commented on that. The Shape Burns and The Grind are so creepy and they paint a picture so clearly. Even though I loved it, I'm almost disappointed they're doing another sequel as it could have ended fantastically the way that it did here, but you never know, it may end up being another blinder. Another great vid James, thanks a million for sharing!

Kill Counts can be as long as they need to. A longer one is just more to love. Thanks for your hard work James :)
Rhiannan Metcalfe
When I went to go see Halloween JLC was there doing a q&a and I was almost crying because i was overwhelmed by her presence (also 30 minute kill count heelllllll yeah)

Wait...is the background a still image on a green screen?
Sami Allen
i don't mind the length at all!! i appreciate how you take the time to acknowledge all of the references and give fun facts instead of just blowing through the movie and only spending time on the kills. love the video as always!!

Wow, I've watched it more than a few times but can't figure out how you pop up with the same mask that's in the background?? That is some masterful editing!

You work really hard, and your efforts shine really bright, no matter the time frames, I'll always back you. Longer episodes are like a privilege to me, and it's more time for me to enjoy your work! Thank you for this amazing content!
Iain Kerr
I don't mind longer episodes -- but I don't love that it means you have to sit there editing for 12 hours. We appreciate all the work you put into giving us premium content, James!
Willem Nieborg
Man as I said on Twitter, it doesn't matter how long it is! We will adore it regardless! Even though this is your longest episode, it'll feel short the second it ends!
Nur Almuhtadi
Woo! Anyone else see the stream? Proud of you James!
Eddie Villegas
12 hours = an amount of dedication and dissection of horror that 90% of youtube wishes they could conjure in a single video. Love the Arrested Development reference!
Tricia Glasnovich
I'm so excited! Thank you James! Go relax. You deserve it!
Beau

Thank you for your efforts James. Effort such as this example of 12 hours straight shows why you’re one of if not the best Youtuber
Heather O Gorman
I look forward to watching it! I mean who would complain about a longer episode? I enjoy every minute of your kill counts and podcasts!

I can only speak for myself, but given how big this movie was, and the fact that I couldn't watch it because I have strong reactions to horror, I really appreciate you going into all the detail you mention. I'm looking forward to this.
Eddie Villegas
That’s already out on DVD?

My body is ready.
