Answers
1) Well, this is the third and the last in the original incarnation of the character. So you probably think there would be another trilogy in the Bride of Chucky series, right? WRONG, there were actually four. Bride, Seed, Curse, and Cult of Chucky. That is a good foursome question.
2) It is kind of weird because Dourif is like … still around. The new actor is Mark Hamill, who, admittedly, is a very famous voice actor now (mainly for voicing the Joker in Batman: The Animated Series). Oddly, Hamill is only one year younger than Dourif, so it isn’t for age reasons, it is definitely for just like fame reasons. Which kind of sucks, but whatever.
3) Mr. Mercedes. The first book is quite good (although also very Stephen King if you know what that means). The second is interesting in a “this is totally different” kind of way. And then … let’s just say for a series where there is no supernatural stuff in the first two books, for the third to suddenly have a bunch of supernatural stuff is a choice.
4) That would be Fangoria. It didn’t win, although Brad Dourif did for Body Parts. Fangoria has been around since 1979. Although it is still around, it’s been acquired a few times since and is quarterly.
5) Deep cut (although maybe not for Jamie), but that is 7th Guest. I remember playing that as a kid and finding it very frustrating … I’m willing to bet I would crush it now with my adult brain.
Bonus NYTimes Listing Answer: I mean, Marlon Brando and Matthew Broderick. That can mean only one thing: The Freshman. I do hope Jamie got that one.
I never saw it though … I would have still got the question right though.
