Stranger Things 3 (2019) KILL COUNT

hey everybody i'm back to hosting the kill count on the brand new kill count set look at this place holy shit this is in my home dude that's nuts if you want to see more details about this and the new podcast set check out the video i released last week otherwise let's get back to the show ahoy meaties and welcome to the kill cow where we tally up the victims in all our favorite horror movies i'm james agenese and today we're looking at season three of stranger things released on netflix in 2019 i covered the first two stranger things seasons with two-part videos back in 2020 well no more of that half and half shit i'm doing the whole season in one go this time and for any future viewers this video came out before the end of season four dropped so if anything in those two episodes makes me sound like a dummy well you know that's why stranger things season 3 takes place in 1985 more than half a year after season two left off the main kids are on the cusp of high school and their interests have shifted to girls well most of them as opposed to seasons one and two which took place in the fall season three is summerset all high temperatures and free time and the episodes appropriately feel more colorful and lively twin brothers matt and russ duffer the creators and showrunners wanted season 3 to feel more like a summer blockbuster in tone i think it absolutely does and for the most part it's a pretty fun time the one way it's a disappointment is with all the russian stuff while the first two seasons used the cold war as a backdrop it was mostly to set a paranoid tone and explore the theme of scary government overreach we have to trust them okay this is our governor they're on our side season three says actually there are russians and they're the bad guys which turns part of its plot into a madcap spy movie with a boring terminator wannabe i appreciate that the show is trying to expand out from hawkins but the hawkins setting and characters are what make it so enjoyable thankfully those characters are able to salvage most of the silly plot stuff speaking of characters we have a few new additions to the cast many of them are good with maya hawks robin a standout plus the new ever evolving upside down monster is pretty sweet remember the mind flayer he's back in gloop form i think it's way cooler than a pack of demma dogs overall though it has its flaws i found season three much more watchable and memorable than season two if you're photosensitive though i gotta be real with you i don't think stranger things wants you watching it there's a general warning when you go to play the show and i'ma have to do the same for this episode you've been general warned general warned now as i'm sure you've already noticed this kill count is a

[Music] the season begins in june 1984 placing this opening scene between seasons one and two like i said those seasons have the u.s government as a shadowy menace but forget that ish we've got real live russians here a regular red horn akami carnival they boot up the freedom hayton laser 9000 and blow a molten vagine to the wall oh and it's leaking lava slugs a good job i guess the experiment super fucks up which is bad news for these guys who look like garandan took over moltar's job the laser blows up and obliterates eight of them their bodies burn up like leaves tossed into a bonfire spin vfx did the effects for this cold war open creating an entirely cg environment with cg characters and a cg laser so many layers went into these effects making it impressive how seamless the end product feels everyone knows i love practical effects and sometimes people wrongly accuse me of hating all cg the cg right here fucking awesome and just as impressive as practical effects in its own way the explosion upsets ronald ruski who wants the iron curtain to extend to the upside down under his orders the head scientist gets admiral ozil by a boring henchman named grigori that scientist was as clumsy as he is russian boss man approaches another scientist alexi and tells him he has one year to fix their boom boom boo boo you are in command now admiral alexi and that's the way they do it in the motherland it's one year later summer 1985 and in this year of new beginnings the kids have ditched the arcade for them all careful there scamps watch out for security robots star court mall may not have guys asking waitresses for more butter but it does have steve harrington as an ice cream slinger at scoops ahoy it's also got a movie theater playing the most underrated of romero's masterpieces before that wall in the calendar room can get all handsy the power goes out in the theater the ice cream shop the whole damn mall not even the penny ponies are spared steve tries to get the lights going again but if that's also his bedroom technique no wonder they're staying turned off this power outage is town wide in fact spreading at the speed of a camera pan at an old steel mill something stirs in its wake winds blowing up a gale today debris moves around in solid visual effects until we're whipping up a whole ass smoke monster not the kind that possessed saeed the kind that possessed will last season the power comes back but so does will buyers trauma because it wouldn't be st without his ptsd poor little bull cup boys always having a shit old time but how are the other characters doing well let's catch up lucas and max are still together as are ellen mike they've been slobbering all over each other in the six months since middle school ended with a snowball dance hopper is not a fan let's check in with our other faves too like jonathan winona ryder and bob oh wait no bob's dead well hey billy's here remember him he's max's abusive brother who was murderously racist towards lucas yeah shitty guy but hey at least he's hot all the milfs think so too mrs wheeler i didn't see you swimming why's that deck chair dripping wet as gross as it is for her to be i fucking a high schooler her interest logically follows the season two finale karen started crushing on this teenage boy when he stopped by her house looking for kids to beat up billy takes an interest in karen too because d'doy and extends her an invitation to have an affair that night as always cara buono puts in phenomenal acting work showing how conflicted karen is and how hard she's trying to play it cool heart of the series joyce buyer still works at melville's general store it's one of the last places still open downtown the starcore mall has been walmarting all the other local places out of business hopper comes in and complains to her about his adopted daughter's romantic life you know it is that smug son of a bitch mike he's corrupting her i'm telling you and i'm just gonna lose it i mean i'm gonna lose it joyce she tells him to chill and be more like the enjoyable character he used to be but season three hopper is a sitcom brutish oath the only thing that calms him down is the prospect of a romantic subplot hey if she's good enough for beetlejuice she's good enough for hellboy it's the summer before senior year for jonathan byers and nancy wheeler they're dating and working summer jobs together at the hawkins post nancy has journalistic ambitions but fails to garner respect from the old boys who run the place they think of her as nothing more than a sandwich getter you think you could follow the clues and solve the case of the missing condiment nancy drew nancy still works hard and stays late at the office which is when she gets a call from a mrs driscoll about sick rats might have something to do with how every rat and hawkins has come to the old steel mill there they went into the basement and had a splotty celebration is this how mrs brisby became a widow as mentioned the recently graduated steve harrington is an adorable little ice cream sailor at the star court mall i'm steve harrington can i get you guys a little taste of cherries jubilee no he's lost all his coolness though which gets him teased by his co-worker robin robin's played by maya hawk last seen on the kill count in fear street part one she's the daughter of uma the bride thurman and bagool victim ethan hawk dustin henderson just got back to hawkins after spending the past month at a science camp there he stole invention ideas from homer simpson and built a ham radio to talk to his totally real girlfriend girlfriend yeah y'all he's the purring player the radio requires high elevation to work and during the hike to get there mike and eleven leave to suck face the others persevere and summit late but hours after setting up the radio and asking susie if she copies dustin's new boo still has an answer his other friends bail too meaning dustin's all alone when he intercepts a secret commie radio message it's coming from the layer we saw in the cold open and for dustin's sake i hope it doesn't have anything to do with ovaltine at home hopper tries his best to follow joyce's advice and speak to eleven and mike like adults he's bad at it though and they're little shits right back to him what i wanted to say to you is that um uh-oh i think we're in trouble oh come on mike you don't mess around with jim hopper lies to mike and says his mom wants him home in the truck he berates the little bastard saying he has to quit spending so much time with al or else he'll force him to watch the hellboy reboot mrs wheeler gets ready for her tryst i just died in your arms tonight which wouldn't be released by cutting crew until an entire year later reminds me of the anachronistic needle drop in season 2 where a 1985 oingo boingo song scored a montage set in 1984. karen is ready to get milfy with bilfy until she sees her youngest holly sleeping on her human log ted that'll dampen your lamps and she decides that the price of infidelity is too damn high billy doesn't get that message and is practicing his marriage wrecking in the mirror when his car spins out and he crashes right next to the old steel mill in no time at all billy gets hooked and dragged across the ground by his ankle he's pulled into the basement and his scream echoes out until the next episode auto plays billy jump cuts out of the milli and makes a super leather jacket getaway but it's too late judging by these flashes of trauma and electric stuff billy's been infected by the mind player specifically that dust we saw stirring to life after the hawkins wide power outage his upside down infection comes with a thrillering welcoming committee headed by an upside-down version of billy himself the doppelganger's got a field of dreams message for him i want him to build but not billy ain't talking about no baseball diamond he wants billy to build an army for him hop up hopper meets with larry klein hotshot mayor of hawkins he's played by carrie elwes who we best know from saw where he played a uh shit what was he a proctor i'm a doctor ah yeah that was close klein's the reason the star court mall has moved into town which not everyone is pleased about given the condition of main street climb says fuck him and forces hopper to clear out the protesters for not having a permit intrigued by the rat disease lead nancy gets out of work by playing on her boss's discomfort with women i've been having some um girl problems she grabs jonathan and his camera hoping to impress their bosses with a good story and if they get fired for their attempt then we never have to work at the shithole again they head to the home of doris driscoll and shout out to 70-something actress peggy miley she's great like a wholesome little old lady version of danny devito lemonade it's fresh squeezed she really makes mrs driscoll a memorable character these bags um you're sure they were full before i'm old honey not seen oil driscoll's got rats eating up all her fertilizer which must be like rat crack for these creepy reaper cheaps oh shit man there's never been a better time to quote smashing pumpkins nancy and jonathan leave before they see what happens to the captured rat it explodes as though it were hit by a bullet with butterfly wings then the raspberry jam crawls out of the cage and across the floor and just like that a baby mind player was born season three had a new lead vfx company in rodeo fx it was headed by supervisor martin pelletier who worked under returning vfx supervisor paul graf rodeos spent 14 months building over 350 vfx shots including the gloop monster's whole life cycle we had to come up with a way to go from rat to goop and from goop to monster animation supervisor yvonne jardel used houdini to make their cg rats skin bubble when it came to the explosion they avoided visible guts opting instead for a monolithic slime to keep things from getting too gory that slime though is not so simple underneath there are multiple layers of biomechanics that inform how the creature moves and behaves in space these fleshy effects are much different than the ash particles that dominated season two the duffers wanted grosser visuals for season 3 and for inspiration turned to the thing in hellraiser wet and fleshy was their mood board probably wanted at least a five on the screaming mad george scale mike still feeling the sting of hopper's yelly threats lies 211 to avoid hanging out with her el can tell she's getting b.s so good job hop you caused emotional duress to a couple of hormonal teens adoptive father of the year right there he celebrates by setting up a non-date dinner with joyce that night but she's distracted by some other attraction that isn't working the magnets in her store have fallen down just like the ones on her fridge at home did earlier fucking magnets how do they work mike's lie sends him in 11 seeking comfort in their friends mike with lucas and will and 11 with max despite the brief rivalry they had in season two everyone pretty much agrees that mike done fucked up and the boys head to the mall so mike can get eleven an apology gift though it's against hopper's rules for her eleven also goes to the mall max says she can forget her boy troubles with a material madonna montage why are you dressing like gallagher girl things get pretty cutesy here we even get a stacked heads around the corner bully girl soda blow-up prank it's a real teehee in time the kids all run into each other outside the mall and thanks to her newfound confidence eleven kicks mike to the curb i dump your ass a lot of stranger things locations are filmed on sets at a soundstage in atlanta especially when they're frequently used like the buyer's house in the wheeler basement hopper's cabin is a whole ass building constructed on a sound stage but for the star court mall around which the entirety of season 3 revolves production bought a part of the gwyneth place mall in duluth georgia which had first opened in 1984. like many malls it had fallen on hard times in the 21st century the georgia state student's body was discovered december 21st by a mall security guard the body was behind this counter area of a former food court restaurant jesus i didn't expect that though that wasn't fun to learn the mall was given a cosmetic makeover by stranger things as long time production designer chris trujillo his team of more than 50 carpenters and painters worked for 10 weeks rebuilding dozens of stores literally everything had to be recreated all in period accurate design jcpenney in a 3 000 square foot gap joined original businesses like scoops ahoy and star cinema the renovations went as far as rewiring the place to give production complete electrical control and apparently the mall was open and functional during shooting the public parts separated from the set by simple curtains like a bunch of people are shopping as we're filming in the mall people are shopping as we're filming and like i see people just like dustin heads to the mall next to reunite the show's best character pairings dustin forever motherfuckers robin you can join too he tells steve about his possibly fake girlfriend susie and the secret russian radio transmission he intercepted if steve can help him decipher it they can be true red white and blue heroes unfortunately they kind of suck at it so robin butts in arguing she's got a much better chance at success i'm fluent in four languages you know russian oh yeah um holy shit that was pig latin dingus ixnay on the upid stay after some time robin cracks the first sentence the week is long well that's thrilling the remaining sentences are no less cryptic but on their way out steve recognizes where he heard the transmission's background music i don't understand it's the exact same song on the recording yeah it's hell's favorite song and the signal wasn't coming from russia but from right here inside their town's bustling core of capitalism when joyce can't figure out magnets on her own she heads to an expert the miniature painting weirdo listening to science teacher mr scott clark they spend all day talking nerd shit and he posits a theory as to why her magnets ain't magnetin basically a nearby big-ass machine might be the reason and joyce knows a place where they've got all sorts of big-ass machines she's still in scott clark's garage when it's time for her and hopper's not date dinner oh man and he went full-on miami vice for it the no-show causes big jim to get drunk by himself and belligerent with the staff great police chief behavior dude definitely drove himself home drunk too at the hawkins pool karen wheeler tries to explain to billy why she didn't meet him for meat mashing the sweaty boy hallucinates knocking the milf out but thankfully that wasn't real stay away from me karen just like with will last season there's still part of billy inside his body even though it's mostly mind player at this point unlike will though billy is a violent douche nozzle so it's hard for me to tell when he's supposed to be possessed and when he's not just as will did before him billy tries to keep his body cool he's taking a cold shower when fellow lifeguard heather holloway finds him she peers with a thousand-yard stare before billy can't take it anymore and attacks her later he ties her up and takes her to the old steel mill he tells her not to be afraid cause he's just here to show her his friend his giant goopy terrifying friend max and l keep listening to madonna and pining over future fellow netflix stars betty's an amazing kisser too well he sells a mean car i tell you why but teen mags aren't all they're looking at eleven taps into her powers to spy on her ex-boyfriend and his boys huh what are they up to some things never change dusty party okay they take elle's privacy violating powers and put another slumber party spin on him 11 tunes into the void at frequency 102 point billy where things are pretty weird seeing as how billy's sacrificing a girl to a glute monster void billy seems to sense 11 so he blips away like barney the dinosaur just snapped his fingers it's a good scary moment for the show i mean look at how scared 11 is the girls go to max's house to see if anything seems out of place for billy nothing seems weird so far and billy always soaks his ice bags in the bathtub the girls get concerned when they find some lifeguard gear covered in blood that sends them to the public pool where a picture of heather helps eleven tune her void brain to the proper residence looks like heather's five doors down from the elm street house and behind a similarly painted red door what you doing in a tub full of ice there heather well i would if you quit sinking through the floor man elm street tubs go deep jonathan and nancy print templeton's head shots and nancy reveals that many hardware stores have been getting their fertilizers and pesticides stolen it's a good story but coming from her it's not taken seriously hawkins rodents prefer poison nut job tells all that asshole bruce is played by jake busey last seen on the kill count playing his dad's character son and the predator the boss man here is tom holloway who is the father of heather the lifeguard tom tells nancy to drop the drizzle story and if she doesn't she'll be fired determined to prove herself nancy tells jonathan that they should go get the driscoll rat as hard evidence they get to the old lady's home and let themselves in downstairs they find mrs driscoll acting just like them rats she's knocking away on fertilizer talk about a shit-eating grin joyce goes to hoppers and says that she thinks hawkins lab is behind whatever's causing her magnets not to work though he's pissed at her for standing him up joyce forces him to come along as she heads to the lab with determination and bne tools they break into hawkins lab which has been abandoned since season two ended six months ago oh hey this is where bob died and joyce is just so happy to be back here really it's great like super the upside down gateway is still sealed up tight but they do hear a noise nearby when hopper goes to investigate he's attacked by grigori the russian bruiser from the season's opening scene grigori the boring knocks hopper out before riding away on his bike like cool guy american steve mcqueen's in greatest of escapings robin's been trying to decipher the russian code but it's not until she sees a cat symbol that she gets an idea you know maybe check for skull masks before running into the middle of the mall like that maya she whirls around and cracks all the code's clues confirming that the transmission has to do with the mall itself she and dustin have a rainy rooftop spy sesh where they see more evidence that something shady's going on oh i think we found your russians and i think you found your subplot will is trying real hard to remind his friends of their season one roots i have seen into the future and i've seen that today is a new day a day free of girls will's much more in the background this season but i like his story of not maturing the same as his friends it makes for some heartbreaking scenes especially for anyone whose friends ever outgrew them in coolness seven points of damage oh no my arm lucas with my arm oh man fucking devastating also this is when they start to hint that will might be gay so my fault you don't like girls i expect that to come out no pun intended by time season 4 wraps up abandoned by his friends with whom he used to bust many a ghost will the wet has a hissy fit and breaks down castle buyers with a bat damn he took that thing down like he was playing rampage hardy little feller if you know a bit soggy also drenched by this downpour are ellen max as they arrive at the holloway home there they find heather right as rain having dinner with her parents and billy if you thought billy was unnerving when he was all screamy shouty get a load of when the mind flayer puppeteers him like he's a nice guy and i'm sorry i did not quite catch your name oh props to dager montgomery giving another standout performance this season they assure the girls everything is a-okay and send them off to race paper boats in the gutter when they're gone billy and heather knock her mother out with drugs and her father out with a wine bottle to the head this is another good horror scene creepily scored to don mclean's american pie it's like a pg-13 version of clockwork orange or some shit doris driscoll and her mud mouth are taken by an ambulance but she doesn't want to go to the hospital she reaches out towards the old steel mill where tom and mrs holloway are tied up thanks to their daughter dearest heather and billy crudlip are leaving them as food for the blue monster here it comes glooping all over the place jesus christ nope dude it's the glute monster could jesus christ do this cause you know that don't taste like wine joyce brings hopper back to consciousness and tries to get him to stop flashing his little jim cocker where are my clothes they were soaked yeah next time you get jumped try not to piss yourself bruh joyce mentions that the assailant rode a motorcycle which sends hopper back to mayor cline's office last time hop was there grigori was too and hopper noticed the russian's cool guy motorcycle gear when hopper makes an accusation klein bites back like an asshole with teeth don't give me that dead daughter sob story cause i just don't care and that's how mayor klein learned how hard his wooden door is hopper threatens to take away klein's ability to do the claw so the mayor laments and admits that grigori works for the russians who own starcourt mall they've been paying mayor client to expand their land deals into east tawkens and if it's one thing you don't want the russians in charge of it's the eastern half of a city hopper and joyce take larry klein back to his home so they can look at the land deeds the star court russians have been purchasing they look them up on a map and that night the hawkins house hunters check out the various properties as for mayor klein they leave him handcuffed in his room with no rusty saw around his wife has to let him out later at the hawkins post nancy and jonathan are in trouble for the doris driscoll thing possessed papa holloway so pissed he'll gd kick this camera sideways this tuck's everlasting patience has run out so he fires them both on the spot nancy's more upset about not being taken seriously but jonathan is mad at her for getting them fired it's a summer job your life is hardly over i don't live in a two-story house on maple street my dad doesn't earn six figures i love this conflict because they both have valid points nancy comes from the financially comfortable wheeler household while the buyers have always struggled and are from a different part of town jonathan definitely needs this job way more than her at the same time his frustrations lead him to dismissing her treatment at the post you don't know what it's like that's how you write conflict kids once again karen wheeler proves herself to be mom of the year listening to nancy and telling her to stay strong in this messed up world nancy your mom is so awesome and hot with maternal encouragement nancy goes to the hospital and checks on mrs driscoll doris you've lowered your cholesterol great work max and l are still mad at the boys but they get them on the yelly telly and say they're having a code red everyone assemble except dustin who's still spying on the russians and their gun-guarded secret storage room in mike's basement will says that his upside down senses are tingling and his little boy goosebumps can only mean one thing the mind player the mind players spent season two with a psychic link to willy bye-bye's body when eleven closed the upside down gate it severed the connection which killed the dema dogs but not the part of the mind player that was inside of will instead when that dust got exercised it became stuck in our world since there was no longer passage to the upside down unbeknownst to the kids the russians opened a new gate it's what caused the power outage and allowed the mind flayer psychic link to find signal again the mindflayer's new form began to possess rats and people making them eat chemicals and melting them into goop the party realizes that billy's probably getting flayed after all he was taking ice baths and we all know the mf and mind flayer he likes it cold they decide they'll test billy with a trip to the sauna hey shut the door come on kid i love the look of the guy on the right he's just begging to be rescued save me in the scoop's troop russian mall rats plotline robin gets schematics to figure out how they can infiltrate the storage room air ducts might work but those things are freaking tiny man good thing they know a tiny child it's lucas's sister erica sinclair introduced last season being sassy bunch of nerds she's been seen throughout this season taking advantage of the scoops ahoy free sample policy that makes it simple to bribe her many scoops and sundays later she agrees to help them out after all she is a patriot you can't spell america without erica ah ted wheeler would be proud we're all patriots in this house that night after the mall closes erica slips into the air ducts like a little john mcpain in the ass it works and she opens the storage room from the inside they open up some boxes and find enough plutonium to power a delorean or maybe it's the virus from resident evil either way not a good time for the room to start shaking like this turns out they're actually on an elevator of some kind and much like the elevators in resident evil that thing starts dropping at a pant shitting speed not billy's been sweating up a storm all day so he's excited to cool down with a nice cold shower but even possessed by the mind player billy falls victim to a trap he's launched through the air by the telekinetic teenager and gets locked up in the sweat box they raise the temp to sweat him out though max begins to have doubts when billy starts crying and pleading again hard to tell how much billy is actually there we've never seen him act vulnerable before and besides will's got some back of neck bumpies that means the mind player is in the house get away from the door let me on you bitch it's the mind player right is that just billy the heat finally takes its toll on billy's possessed body giving him venom levels of vascularity the same sort of spider web effects start to cover mrs driscoll in the hospital because when the mind flayer gets damaged so does the rest of its possessed network we learn this in season two that's why you always do the homework folks billy breaks free and eleven holds him back with her mind powers but the telekinetic teenager can't stop billy from setting a new pr and he grabs her by the throat to show that he means billy business mike rescues 11 from a strangly death allowing her to gain the upper hand once more she mind flings billy through a freaking brick wall which causes her to collapse and allows billy to get away he finds comfort in the hands of the possessed heather holloway and all their friends the flayed citizens of hawkins the elevator full of tweens teens and screams drops until it crashes oh erica your mom and dad are gonna be so mad at you your mom's not gonna be able to find us if we're dead in a russian elevator oh yeah that that would suck too at the bottom of the shaft a pair of russians arrive on an austin powers cart the scooper poopers hide while the russians offload boxes and after they're gone sneak out using the canister of mystery liquid oh okay it was xenomorph blood melted they start walking down a seemingly endless tunnel that was a digital effect made by the company rise vfx at the end of it they reach a junction and witness a gathering of russian mans and womans not only soldiers but what also cosmonauts also how do they not get seen come on i love these characters but i don't love this plotline it's to james bond jr for me especially when they stumble upon the evil russian science laser beam you could put that shit and die another day and not a person would bat an eye at the hess farm hopper and joyce scope the place looking for some cups to steal score after some cop flashlight holding and some hop heavy breathing they hear something coming from below it's alexi the promoted russian scientist from the opening scene he's got a russian buddy with him and don't look now with this communist party about to get bigger grigori comes downstairs and finds his comrades all tied up on account of jim hopper who gives him a real american hello the two get into a scuffle with many a bulletin fist flying hopper is able to cuff alexi to his wrists and the two of them and joyce get away while grigory rat attack tats in their wake maybe just a few more bullets will get him greggy no okay i'm sure you'll have better luck with john connor between the bullets and oh yeah a freaking bomb their car is rendered useless forcing them to traverse the woods on foot joyce tries to have her own reykjavik summit with alexi but hopper is pretty much fed up with the both of them and with his goddamn forest it keeps disappearing on him what the fuck i love that transition into 11's void vision it's a slick effect done once again by ryze vfx grigori continues to track his prey who are currently stopping by a 7-eleven that's the best place to get coca-cola and steal a rich guy's car sorry todd father it's for a good cause hopper and joyce take their russian captive to the only person hopper knows who can speak russian murray bauman the ex-journalist who we met in season two [Music] hi jim he brings him inside and sweeps down alexi showing his paranoia is still going strong he's also just as surly and horny as usual suggesting hopper and joyce want a bang careful now merster that little lady's a firecracker so if you don't mind put that thing away stop behaving like a jackass and ask him what he's doing that's making my magnets fall off my damn fridge winona ryder continues to have the time of her life with this role since 11 saw that hopper and joyce are currently indisposed it's going to be up to the party and this box of cocoa puffs to do something about billy they're joined by nancy and jonathan as well and together they realize there are a bunch of flayed hawkinsians mrs driscoll heather holloway and heather's dad tom yeah that guy they take the wheeler station wagon to the holloway home where inside they find evidence that the family has switched to an under the sink diet they realize the holloway parents must have been abducted by billy and heather and to figure out where flying home base is they decide to check with mrs driscoll at the hospital nancy and jonathan reconcile after he apologizes for not believing her yeah dude she was right all along which is why mrs driscoll was all of a sudden missing and why tom holloway is here looking super extra sweaty uh panic face which on set was sometimes sugar glass sometimes rubber for the many times they had to film the strike the guy was like one time you really got it and i really he said if you hit him harder it's gonna hurt less they're not in the clear since they possessed bucy is here but before he can carve any numbers into their heads they begin a flashy hospital chase scene during it we see the bodies of three hospital staff members and or patients on the ground oh yeah this is a kill count isn't it bruce finds them and starts battering them around and again hard for me to tell how much of the original person is present here yoo-hoo nancy drew where are you as bruce chases after nancy jonathan is cornered by the possessed tom holloway making tom the second middle-aged man to beat the shit out of this teenager in the past few minutes nancy fights back with the damage affecting both bruce and tom and they're killed in turn by nancy and jonathan she breaks bruce's face with a fire extinguisher and he stabs tom holloway in the chest mike and eleven make amends over m ms but the good times are cut short by a light shell courtesy of the decomposing flayed bodies what was once bruce and tom melt into meat blobs and join forces combining their strength and becoming the next stage in gloopy evolution the glute monster chases nancy through a part of the hospital that's under construction or something since when did that become a mainstay location in horror media watch it now nance me going glupia man all this gloopin looks pretty goop darn good it sucks that it's obfuscated by the annoying flashing lights the hospital monster continues the webbing dripping gross saliva look as well as the careful consideration that went into how it actually functions from the bulky gorilla arm to the millipede legs and the spider like claws each limb was rigged in its own way hilariously this monster was played on set by stuntman ken barfield whose outfit looks like a bargain bin cosplay of peacemaker okay calm down can right before the monster can gloopify nancy eleven breaks in and force blasts that gloopy boy straight out the window they're unable to stop it from going to visit its chud friends though and before you can say hal ratma that thing has crept through the sewers all the way back to billy and heather it's time time for what oh time for a patriotic carnival mofos brought to you by the dread pirate roberts oh and look at how he's dressed i think this event will be a mix of pleasure and business unfortunately for klein his business partner could make his face look worse than it already does you're lucky you still breathe lucky gregory tells klein he has one day to find hopper as the gravitron spins klein says as you wish alexi is enjoying the american comforts of cartoons and fast food as hopper and joyce try to get answers from him through translator murray sweaty balls bowman that's not confirmed or anything dude just looks like he'd have sweaty balls alexi is difficult at first but eventually hopper motivates him to spill the beans on some schematics everybody smoke on three three through murray alexi tells them the russians are trying to open a doorway a doorway between worlds since hawkins had already opened that door once before it's the least jammed entrance so they came here to pry it open again should have padlocked that shit hawkins lab hopper calls the hawkins lab guys to relay all this to dr sam owens you know paul reiser from season two the guy who ended up not being as shitty as you'd expect paul reiser to be hops told it's gonna take some time to get them help but joyce ain't in the mood to sit she's worried her kids are in danger at the carnival so she takes murray and the alexis to head back to town the russians finally wise up that there are meddling kids in their midst although i've got to say it takes them way too long to get a hold of them they should have gotten a little genghis khan on him erica and dustin escape through a floor grate as the ice cream slingers get a bouquet of guns in their faces in the air ducts dustin recaps seasons 1 and 2 for erica until they find their way to the dino dna freezer system they don't have any fake barbasol cans but they do find the keys to a card and a freaking cattle prod or some shit that looks pretty fun dustin's hoping they can use these to help steve who's currently getting interrogated the hard way who do you work for for the next time i work at scoops away he's tied to a chair with robin and we get a lovely scene between these two fan favorite characters their chemistry is great even when their plan of escape lands them sideways on the ground it's okay it's okay don't cry robin are you laughing the two of them talk about their time together in high school robin's a geeky band kid and was completely ignored by steve since he was way too cool and popular it didn't matter that you were an ass i was still obsessed with you even though all of us losers pretend to be above it all we still just want to be popular their discussion of high school social dynamics uses a music cue from day of the dead the same movie shown at the movie theater earlier in the season but i guess you gotta mess up a few things right i hope so i love that score by john harrison and it's great to hear this queue in another character-driven scene i'm sorry i said those things about you i'm sorry too really well what do you know we are heroes after all what relief the russians return with an evil doctor who injects them with some kind of truth serum truth a side effect of the serum is that it gets them teens giggling giving us more delightful interactions that always make me laugh aloud i can't feel good i want to know the secret what i like it too honestly the russian plotline might be worth it for this scene alone who do you work for the scoops more physical coercion is threatened but dustin and erica intervene they cause a melty distraction with the green goo then use the cattle prod to give this doctor a jolt of his own medicine oh they're the scoop troop and they'll always stick together eleven takes a void venture looking for the holloways but the tissue toll it's taking on her has mike all kinds of upset going please just come up with a new plan because i love her and i can't lose her again ah he l words l she didn't hear his proclamation because she was too busy finding billy gloomis turns out he's just sitting in his room minding his own goddamn business nothing weird about this i think it's what people did to pass the time before the internet the party in co realizes this is probably a trap so they ain't about to march into billy's bedroom 11 remembers how she saw into her mom's memories last season so she decides to try the same trick with kylie billy in the void she takes his hand and reaches out to the billy deep inside that lands her in his memories on a stranded beach with narya jeff probst in sight instead she sees a young billy and his mother careful out there kid don't want to end up like the kittener boy this memory has got a lightning storm going on giving us very cool visuals the kind that have come to define the series again they were done by rodeo effects my favorite part is how they kick this kid around on a green screen even though you barely see him in the end the upside down dandruff starts raining down as eleven sees little boy billy get bad news berated by his father yeah that guy has always sucked and he even abused billy's mom in front of him it's another example of the cycle of abuse that was hinted at last season giving us an explanation of billy's bastardum that led to his eventual mind flaying the stormy trip down memory lane shows 11 where mind flayer hq is the old steel mill good work elle they've got a location pull out but that's not an effective method of void control and she finds herself still voiding in hopper's cabin alone the mind player's trap worked after all and now he knows exactly where she is now we can all see you she pushes him away and gets back to reality for a nice little mic hug but the dominoes have fallen all the sweaty sallow hawkins townfolk who have been possessed by the mind flayer are done with the fireworks and barbecue it's time to work some steel by which i mean approach the glute monster and collapse into piles of gloopy gloopy meat here's the big count i've been dreading all season as the mind flayer collects his deaths editor josh counted his keister off and came up with 27 people in this group shot which is the same count he got in a group shot at the end of episode 4. these deaths include heather holloway her unnamed mother and mrs driscoll just a heads up a newspaper later includes these deaths and its figures but by josh's count that headline should say thirty-one it'd be these 27 plus tom and bruce then one death and one death yet to happen with the gloop monster on its way the kids board up hopper's cabin like this were knight of the living dead maybe they watched it ahead of seeing day despite their best efforts their fortification gets bested by an inside out deep rising tentacle it gets axed and shot at before ultimately falling victim to eleven's powers be gone with ye tentacles two and three also get torn up like a couple of grabbers getting burnt gummered but then big papa gloop boy breaks through the ceiling to abduct our eggo loving leading lady teamwork rescues her and she splits it apart with her powers giving them a chance to get the fuck out of there family truckster away they break into a store to patch 11 up and while lucas stocks up on fireworks mike nearly but doesn't actually admit to 11 that he loves her the ice cream sailor gang races through the tunnel back towards the elevator they get there and ascend though steven robin can't get too much higher they're tripping more than a suburban kid at burning man are you gonna die on us we all die my strange little child friend it's just a matter of how and when more bad guys with guns chase them back into the mall where dustin sneaks them into a theater showing back to the future he sends steve and robin down to enjoy the time traveling and incest then heads back to the projector booth and walkie-talkies mic the larger group finally knows where dustin's been all season so they head to the mall with a jackass cart full of fireworks hope those aren't for stevo's butt dustin returns to the theater to find that the drugged up babysitters have been erased from existence and if my calculations are correct when these drugs hit 88 milligrams per dose they're gonna see some serious shit the psychedelia eventually sends them retching into toilets side by side these two are on their come down a sacred part of any drug trip and they start interrogating each other to see if they're still getting truth serum steve admits he used to be in love with nancy wheeler but he's not anymore he's found someone better first of all she's hilarious she's so funny i feel like this summer i have laughed harder than i have laughed in a really long time and she's smart why smarter than me you know she can crack like top secret russian codes oh shit man here it comes we've been waiting this whole season for these two to keith and create the ultimate power couple of hilarious fan favorites only one problem when robin said she was obsessed with steven's school it wasn't because she was into him it's because she was into a fellow female classmate a wannabe singer named tammy thompson i wanted her to look at me but she couldn't pull her eyes away from you and your stupid hair robin's the first openly gay character in the series and she's hesitant to admit this to steve because she thinks he won't like her anymore makes sense in the 80s a much more homophobic decade with an administration that was vocally anti-gay steve realizes what robin is saying and his reaction only secures him as a heartwarming hunk with good hair just thinking okay i mean yeah tammy thompson you know she's cute and all but i mean she's a total dud she's not yes she is she wants to be like a singer she wants to move like nashville and shit their friendship is solidified as dustin and erica find them they try to sneak out with the exiting theater patrons but this soviet blocks that exit and sends them sliding away hopper and joyce's incessant arguing finally gets to be too much for murray who tells them to stfu and f already cut the horseshit and get to the part where you admit your sexual feelings for one another oh spare me spare me spare me it stuns the buyer's babe and the big hopper but it amuses alexi and brings him and murray closer together do i sense some detant the sexually frustrated twosome get to the carnival so joyce can find her kids and keep them safe larry klein spots the hop and uses his zack morris phone to alert his commie confidantes murray and alexia are hanging out at the car per hopper's orders but when alexi expresses a desire to experience america murray takes it upon himself to show him around the carnival you know rigged games crappy prizes a serial killer on stilts america i love seeing alexi so happy here just basking in all this freedom what is this some sort of red friend redemption the night is about to be made perfect with hot dogs and a woody the woodpecker plush when the hammer and sickle are brought down on alexi grigori shows up and shoots the defector in the chest sending the russian scientist reeling and murray stripping his clothes off to help his friend hopper sees the danger and lures the russians into a fun house where there's hopefully not a frankenstein getting a hand job from a psychic damn a three-story fun house i bet those carnies could afford that fun mortgage with nothing more than a fun summer job too the fun house does in fact begin a fun fight scene but i'm hesitant to say jim kills this russian rando so i'm not gonna put him on the count same goes for grigori who gets tricked by mirrors and shot a whole bunch of times in the chest you'd think that would be a kill but nope he's actually just living tissue over a metal endoskeleton or wait no he's wearing a bulletproof vest but don't worry i've asked alexi to set a reminder to add him to the count since he's bled out and died by time joyce and murray returned to him hope that corn dog was worth it merster they leave and pick up hopper on their way out telling him he's now the only alexi in their group at least they've got one of the russian walkies now though and that's how they learn their kids are being hunted at the mall the armed russian guards are closing in on the scoopy gang when they're intercepted not by hopper but by the series's resident superhero eleven chucks a car full speed at the guards and kills all four of them with ease the underaged cast members reunite and catch each other up on everything just in time for the season finale unfortunately they're main power players not in the best of shape thanks to whatever creepy crawler is slinking beneath her skin yeah l's got a bad case of subdermal wormholes you know graboids she got him by the tentacles biting at her in hopper's cabin you can't get those things out with chopsticks jonathan but a burning blade well now we're talking flame heart johnny on the spot cuts into eleven's leg but ultimately she spends all of her powers performing her own upside down ectomy this was another one of rodeo's vfx shots i'll always prefer a practical effect but i'd be lying if i said i even noticed this was digital the sluggy boy lands on the floor and underneath the boot of one jim hopper daddy's home okay everyone's finally together and on the same page they recap glute monster is the mind player's weapon but if they close the gate it should sever the connection and de-glue hawkins for good murray's got maps from alexi but erica cuts a mean promo on him and says he don't know shit about the tunnels like she does why is this four-year-old speaking to me um i'm 10 you ball bastard they gave 12 year old priya ferguson a lot to do this season and i think she handles it perfectly the only thing better than her dressing down this dressed down man is four bros hugging it out after having separate adventures that's that fellowship-ish a plan is made the adults will head to red base guided by dustin and erica on a radio they'll need higher elevation to broadcast so it's off to the susie speaking spot and the toddfather the car gives its all father and makes it pretty high but it's psychomagnotheric slime runs out of positive reinforcement and they have to climb the rest of the way on foot the parents say goodbye to their children with many a sad look and strong hug and hopper even wishes mike well oh that's nice the kids go off and the adults head down murray's still in his tank top which is so hilarious to me at the bottom of the elevator they run into a problem and when this rocket horse can't talk him out of it hopper opens fire he guns down four russian guys who were honestly just there doing their job i bet they went to elevator trade school and everything this is a bit of a jump in action for me and i like that murray is at least bugged by it i love that he's the kind of guy who can find genuine enjoyment talking to a russian guard why are you talking so much he was nice he was nice he was a nice guard yeah i mean we should probably invite him over after all this is done nancy and her crew go to lee for a safer location only to find that the station wagon is no longer operational a cable's been cut and it was upside down billy the sabatoola that puts them back inside the mall with nancy arming herself in case of billy sorry max to fix the station wagon they turn to the car l previously used as a bowling ball but her self-surgery took all her powers away so they have to get things going the manual way i told you physics yes science science doesn't let you down like magic powers can sorry l looks like you're not the same can crusher you used to be before jonathan can fix the car so they can go on and get the group gets split by a goo our drippy monster friend is back and he's bigger and better than ever the disguised adults reach the vent and murray climbs inside so hop and joists can turn off the laser and close the gate in the meantime they're left stewing in their feelings and joyce recommits to a dinner date with the big man just maybe don't drink as much this time haha murray is led through the air ducks by scoop troop whose hillside vantage point gives them a good look at the mall what they see ain't pretty cause there's a monster over there scoop troop to gloop goop do you copy gloopster's over and out with that thing looking for some kids to kill or really anyone to kill who's not a mannequin or already dead steve the hero harrington takes off to help the mall group robin you can come too murray reaches his destination and starts yanking cables like he's hunting for an ethernet cord in an old box why do i still have vga cables ship breaks down and the burgeoning lovebirds are almost able to get to the russian laser opening the gate but the code to the door is plank's constant a scientific number that murray can't remember luckily dustin knows the perfect nerd girl who can give them the digits they need he radios over to a village in salteleika city and his summer camp girlfriend susie answers the call lucas's seasonal slingshotting skills allows the two groups of kids to get away from the beast nancy lucas and the buyer's boys escape outside where the elder buyers tries to get the car going billy starts hurtling towards them and despite her best shots nance is unable to stop him fortunately steve harrington t-bones the bilsters saving the day and causing at least two concussions in the process this car crash stunt was practical holy fucking shit and overseen by stunt coordinator hero coda who also co-choreographs the fights in cobra kai with his wife janelle kirfman they had five cameras running on the crash to make sure they got it on video and thankfully everything went off without a hitch the car speeds away from the giant glute monster as the people inside listen to dustin talk with susie on the radio he asks her for planck's constant but she's upset that he's only calling for a favor in return for the numbers she wants him to sing a song and the result as a segment i gather is a bit divisive [Music] is it cringe i mean yeah but the whole show is to some extent i don't love it but in time i have come to kind of like it it's a little cute the reaction shots are funny and guest star gabriella pizzolo really gives it her all the almost never-ending song ends and she gives them one grain of sand in the form of the constant hopper blip loops the door open and it's off to shut down the gate for good okay thanks susie bye a badly damaged billy climbs out of his car just in time to see mike ellen max that causes the l hunter glute thousand to turn around and head back towards its main target when billy reaches the kids max tries to reach her brother but it doesn't even start to deter him he's here for one kid and one kid only he carries 11 back out into the mall courtyard and lays her down at the altar of gloop all praise the group god or he is many and he is one lucas and the others show up and they all start tossing lit fireworks at the monster i can only imagine how long it took for them to render all these incredible visual effects this is the so-called spider monster a gloopy version of the mind player itself while season two's dart was sometimes played by a marble and the hospital monster was played by everyone's new favorite guy the final 22 feet tall spider monster was played by a beach ball on a 30-foot pole that could make acting difficult so on-set music was sometimes used to help set the mood and sometimes it'll just be like jurassic park last time i'll shout out rodeo effects but they do deserve all the flowers these goop effects are top-notch as lights and colors explode all around them 11 taps into billy's inner humanity by mentioning his memories specifically the beach one with his pretty mama i guess there's still some billy underneath all those hgh veins joyce and hopper get to the main science room underground and hop politely encourages everyone to take a 15 minute break they see the laser birthing a canal to the upside down and stick the two keys in to turn it off together before they can grigori shows up because he's the season's boring big bad he and hopper get into another fight scene which spills out towards the upside down door knocking machine ripori nearly takes hopper's head off with a centrifuge but eventually hopper gets the upper hand and says hasta lavista grigori he tosses the russian henchmen into the upside down machine ridding the show of its worst villain since carol and tommy h with time running out for everyone who's fighting the mind player's weapon upstairs joyce figures out a way to turn two keys at the same time thought she had to be a millionaire to swing that meanwhile mike and max wake up and she gets to the courtyard just in time to see her brother i guess sacrifice himself to save 11 from the spider monster although he was the one who dragged her over there in the first place you know this almost looks like the dream of the fisherman's wife less erotic and more lethal though sorry billy oh wait no i'm not with russians among us and among joyce and hopper she has to blow up the machine even though hopper's standing next to it damn she'd really do anything to avoid going on that date with him huh with a couple of nods of recognition and a bittersweet smile from jim joyce pulls the trigger and blows up the machine disintegrating the five russians who are approaching it but not killing hopper as the season 4 trailers made abundantly clear right from the get-go helps my job but still trust your audience let him have a little surprise you know as a treat the gate closes and joyce doesn't see hopper in sight but at least the spider monster is down it doesn't go on the count of course because it's not humanoid but billy is humanoid so we get to count him as he dies on the floor yup i don't really feel anything right now max does though and she will joyce and murray escape the russian base and the u.s feds come to town led by none other than dr owens maybe get an orange julius while you're in there doc they find the russian base empty and the upside down hole still scabbing but all in all mostly a happy ending right i mean except for hopper sorry elle police chief papa ain't there no mo three months later we get a 20-minute denu mall it kicks off with a hawkins news report fresh out of vhs85 it mentions bob barb and uh toxie as well as the satanic panic stuff that factors hugely into season four the report closes with a satisfying shot of mayor and tights going to jail joyce is packing it up and moving the buyers out of hawkins meaning the boy gang is about to be split up they won't have willed the wise to dm anymore that also means jonathan has to move away from nancy and i'm surprised by how much their goodbye scene affects me probably owes a lot to the chemistry these real-life partners have eleven's gonna be going with the buyers as well which means her and mike are about to be as separated as she is from her powers oh yeah i said it hell you lost your powers before they leave they finally say they love each other which is basically getting married when you're a kid that age the episode's emotional climax happens as eleven reads the speech hopper had written to say to her and mike david harbor's vo is sweet and warm especially backed by a score that could be on spotify's music to write by playlist this is the benefit of tv series storytelling these emotional goodbyes have a lot of weight to them you really feel the sadness even when they're using the same exact shot that they did in season two maybe it's a callback i do think the emotion's a little undercut by this second ending they tack on with heroes playing it's a weird editing decision to see all this stuff a second time a mid-credits scene takes place in russia at what could be the seventh circle prison the guards mention an american prisoner then toss a russian guy into a cage with a monster it's the demigorgon who we haven't seen since season fricken won is it the same one i don't know but i'll count the russian prisoner at eats as our final victim of this count will season three's body count match this episode's monster length let's find out and get to the numbers oh shit what'd i win oh plus a little demogorgon it's so cute and teethy by my count stranger things three had 58 kills in total that's more than three and a half times the 16 kills in season one and it beats season two's count by eight making season three the most lethal season of the show i've counted so far gender breakdown's hard to do because of masks and shadows so how about some other fun facts the mind flayer was responsible for 33 of the victims grigori only nabbed himself two while 11 killed four guys and hopper killed five and with eight episodes this season that left us with an average of 7.25 kills per episode i'll give the golden chainsaw for coolest kill to the great big glob of gloop in the basement of the old steel mill the effects are fantastic they made all the people falling apart look horrific the machete for lama's kill will go to the russian scientist who was bored to death by grigori same and that's it stranger things season 3 came out in 2019 kovid delayed season 4 so there was a three year gap before we finally got it as this kill count comes out the first chunk of episodes have already been released and honestly season 4 fucking rules go check it out for yourself until next time i'm james agenise this has been the kill count on the next kill count on halloween night in 2018 michael myers returned to wreak havoc on pattonville simple town nothing exciting ever happens well this night is long and full of terrors cause he's still going around killing people in some seriously brutal ways who's next can the townsfolk rally together and stop this murderer once and for all yeah kill the bad guy not unless they have a catchy slogan to shout evil dies tonight hmm i think we've got something here just don't overdo it everybody evil dies tonight evil dies tonight all right evil dies tonight well at least they're enthusiastic this week watch a very uneven movie that suffers greatly from being the middle part of a trilogy a fucker and this friday tune in for the kill count only on dead meat and listen halloween kills can currently be watched on the pictured streaming platforms yeah you'd always recommend you watch the movie for yourself before it's kill count it's the only way to have your own properly informed opinion kill counts are never meant to replace the experience of watching a film thanks a lot for watching this kill count this episode has the distinction of being the first and hopefully only episode ever filmed while the host has covent yep caught it in vegas at either the limp bizkit or aw show still probably worth it honestly but i had to quarantine for 12 days to keep chelsea safe she didn't get it thankfully and during that time i had to come in here and film this episode so sorry if i seem a little off and now i want to get back to thanking some patrons patrons like zack julius mile marker xavier adams dustin huckabee darth nate margot calhoun and bean wait bees no bean thank you everyone who was understanding and patient during my break from hosting this show i got a lot done and even though there's still more to do there always will be doesn't mean i'm not ready to be hosting again seriously excited for what i have in store this year i hope all of you are too thanks everyone be good people

The Halloween trailer broke me.

Hilarious.

Welcome back James.

[u/Cubonesfriend]

Are there any spoilers for season 4 in it?

[u/hoganbeyy]

God damn, I LOVE the set in action. With the lighting, the depth, it looks like a massive step up (and I don’t mean that as a backhanded compliment, I’ve always loved the look of DM but holy shit it looks incredible now)

I hope we still get Chelsea & Zoran on for Kill Counts that they’re passionate about, but the main thing about James being back that I’m happy about are the big movies we’ve got coming up. Halloween Kills, Scream 2022 (that one’s gonna be boss), Malignant, Last Night in Soho, X, Fresh, maybe even Yellowjackets & Chucky on the TV side of things? Also great to see the views so high after not so long. Great stuff all around.

Dead Meat Summer, LFG!

[u/MemeWhomstIsViet]

honestly digging the new style for the numbers. lots more stats, which i can appreciate. the brightness threw me off a bit at first, but i think i’ll get used to that with more KCs

[u/EDAboii]

I'm so glad Scoops Ahoy Steve made the thumbnail!

[u/Sharebear42019]

Really hope he does ash vs evil dead as his next tv series. Episodes are actually short and there’s only 30 of them

[u/FriskeyVsWorld]

The king...has returned.

[u/Tighthead3GT]

Got to say I disagree with James on the Russian plot. I thought it was a fun throwback to having evil commies as the villains.

[u/TimeySwirls]

The return of the king!
