I've never heard of this Ed Gale dude, friggin legend, he played Howard the Duck, the original Chucky, Dwarf in Phantasm 2, Station in Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey, and the Doll in Dolly Dearest. I'd shoot the shit with that little guy, fucking A.

I'll be damned, right to your heart. And he did Baywatch, I bet he banged half the cast! Let's get him on Havok's show, asap.

This movie is a trip. It's no Dolls, but golly. Definitely unique enough.

I don't even remember if I've seen Annabelle for sure. And it seems like I would likely favor it over Annabelle if I hadn't, anyway.

For some reason I consider Dolls, Dolly Dearest and Demonic Toys all the same movie

How do you score Dolly Dearest? Creepy suspense was gonna give it a strong 4/5 stars and in the low-mid 8s for a decimal grading, however, the personality reveal of the doll was a little silly. But the soundtrack is great and it really had some strong moments. On a decimal grade how do you score that? The silliness is gonna drop it to a 3.5/5 stars, but closer to 4 than 3, so 7.2?

I'm going 7.2.

That'd make it a weak 4/5 stars. It's getting a 3.5/5 which means it'd have to fall between a 6.5/10 and a 7.4/10 and it's on the stronger end of a 3.5/5 so it'd have to be between a 7.0 and a 7.4 so I'm going 7.2.

Letter grading and non-decimal grading is for rookies! We're professionals here.
