## Resource

We’re your podcast ’til the end, and there’s no better way to show it than by starting Season 7 off with an in-depth play session with the original CHILD’S PLAY! Here to help us be true Good Guys is writer (Dead Teenagers from Oni; Clayface: Celebrity Dirt from DC) and Returning Champion to the show, Jude Ellison Doyle! Along the way, we open the history books of how Chucky was created, unpack why horror hates single moms, ask why stranglers aren’t more community-minded, and Jude educates us on the history of parents not believing their children about serial killers. All this, plus sexy tree nannies, Voodoo John, department store meanies, haunted hairlines, Good Guy loosies, the Dennis Franz, and a new, factory-sealed edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! So give us the power to listen to this episode, we beg of you!
