The Kill Count is a web video series on the horror YouTube channel Dead Meat, of which it has become the flagship series since its creation in 2017. Hosted primarily by the channel's creator James A. Janisse, the series offers a humorous summary of horror/thriller films while counting down the kills that appear in the film.Each episode consists of James going through a specific film, showing clips and making snarky jokes along the way, in order to list whenever a character dies, timestamp their death in the film's runtime, and note the cause of death. By the episode's end, he will tally up the total kills in the film, identify the gender (and/or species) ratio of victims, divide the film's runtime by its number of kills to find the average amount of time between kills, and award two medals (the "Golden Chainsaw" and the "Dull Machete") respectively to the film's "coolest" and "lamest" kills. Even though the series focuses on deaths and gore effects, James also offers his personal takes and gives behind-the-scenes facts about the films he covers.While many of the show's episodes are hosted by James, guest hosts have been utilized during times when James takes a break from hosting, namely Chelsea Rebecca (James' wife and the host of the Dead Meat Podcast) and Zoran Gvojic (Dead Meat editor of Lowcarbcomedy fame).The "Kill Count Champion" record for highest number of kills in a single installment was previously acquired on January 15, 2021 by Zombieland: Double Tap with an estimated 376 deaths until it was thoroughly ousted on October 7, 2022 by Dude Bro Party Massacre 3 with an estimated 4295 deaths, only for its reign to be utterly annihilated on October 27, 2023 by Emesis Blue with a mind-boggling estimated 800,054 deaths.

My Friends... and Zoidberg: By Leprechaun: Back to tha' Hood, James is getting a little tired of the franchise, and his intro expresses this. (In his Leprechaun Returns episode, James does admit that he's since come around to "the little shit".) Comes up again as he gets further into the Wrong Turn series and is increasingly tired of the series slide into cheap sleaze.

Mr. Fanservice: James isn't exactly shy about providing the odd bit of shirtlessness. His Wolf Creek Kill Count is sponsored by Dr Squatch and has a sequence of James getting hosed down and washing himself in his garden. His "lets get to the numbers" transition for The Wolf Man (1941) has him ripping his shirt open, and doing the numbers with it in that condition.

Broke the Rating Scale
 The Kill Count (Web Video) / int_24fbee90
comment
Broke the Rating Scale: The lazy and uninspired kills in Silent Night, Deadly Night III: Better Watch Out! did this for James to the point of giving all of the kills the "Dull Machete" award. This happened again in Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation. I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer had the entire movie get the Dull Machete award, except for one kill that James especially liked. It even runs through the whole film (credits and all) in just a few seconds. Conversely, A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child, Leprechaun Returns, The VVitch, The Shining, Better Watch Out, Never Hike In The Snow, Society, Midsommar, Stitches (2012), The Black Phone, Talk to Me and Mordeo Season 1, which have no Dull Machete awarded to any of the killsnote While the latter does have a Dull Machete, it's not for any of the kills from the web series.. While one of the kills gets the Golden Chainsaw in each instancenote all of them in Society's case, James doesn't find any of the kills weak enough to award a Dull Machete and says all of the kills are really good, though in the case of The Black Phone, it was more James not wanting to penalise a child murder for being offscreen. Due to the large numbers of infected wandering around in the third and fourth [REC] movies, James admitted in their Kill Counts that he gave up on counting near the ends of the movies, stating that there was simply no way to tell if held previously counted them or not and just assumed he did by that point. Similarly, Zombieland: Double Tap's Kill Count was an absolute nightmare due to multiple mass killings in the dark. He asked the filmmakers, tried to use an AI program, just estimated, and then the editor just counted the best he could. For Tremors 7: Shrieker Island, Zoran gave the Dull Machete to every kill save one, due to all being derivative offscreen deaths. And that one exception, Burt's death at the climax, doesn't get the Golden Chainsaw either, since Zoran felt its execution lacked the emotional impact the movie was aiming for.

Uncertain Doom
 The Kill Count (Web Video) / int_2854b56d
comment
Uncertain Doom: Discussed and zig-zagged. Since a number of characters may or may not survive their fates in horror movies, James usually doesn't count it as a kill if someone is left in a situation where death is likely but not certain (such as falling off a cliff). The few times he does count it is when a character has been gravely wounded before being left to such a fate, since James assumes that the character won't be able to get help before succumbing to their injuries.

James' reaction whenever a character uses a smoke grenade or something to block the view of a group killing, creating much more guesswork for him as to how many people got killed. He lampshades this during the The First Purge Kill Count.

The Scrappy:invoked James utterly loathes Jeff ("Slow Ass Mothafuckin' Jeff") from Saw III for being way too slow to save people - and the one guy Jeff does save, he accidentally kills him minutes later. There's even a "Slow Ass Mothaf*kin Jeff Memorial Walkathon" ("never actually happened because it took everyone too long to get there") T-shirt in the official Dead Meat merch store! James is also not too fond of the Leprechaun, to the point that he refers to him as "Little Shit". Though he has since grown fonder of him, especially after finding Leprechaun: Origins even less favorable.

Rooting for the Empire
 The Kill Count (Web Video) / int_2cac8d77
comment
Rooting for the Empire: In-Universe, James admits that he's rooting for Sheriff Wydell in The Devil's Rejects, as the attempt to parallel him with the Firefly family falls flat since all the evil he commits is against them, and James openly admits he wants them dead just that badly, since they're vile rapists, murderers, and torturers despite being the protagonists. While he's not outright rooting for the Black Satans in the next film, he is still disappointed at the fact the Firefly family beats them handily and walks away without facing ''any'' comeuppance for their crimes.

Unsettling Gender-Reveal: Discussed in the Danganronpa Kill Count. Chihiro's gender identity is impossible to not talk about since it's evidence in a trial, but it's aged poorly in the years since release and the Kill Count isn't the right place to unpack all the controversy around it. Chelsea Takes a Third Option and refers to Chihiro with they/them pronouns for the rest of the count, and their wedge on the pie chart is yellow.

Dead Unicorn Trope: In the Scream 2 recount, James describes the Black Dude Dies First trope as this, noting how it had become such a cliché of the horror genre that the film's opening parodied it even though, in his experience watching horror movies, there was never really much of a trend to the first victim's race.

Bias Steamroller: James revealed that I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer is his most hated horror movie of all time. When he finally does a Kill Count on it, he makes that fact perfectly clear. He sounds bored in his intro and opening narration, and instead of going into detail about the movie's production, he just says "this movie fucking sucks" before getting right to the recap. And before getting to the numbers, instead of doing anything from the movie, James smacks the film's DVD off his shelf and flips it off. James reiterates during the video's outro (and in earlier Last Summer videos as well) that I'll Always Know is his least-favorite horror movie of all time. He'd later call Mortal Kombat: Annihilation the worst film to be covered on the kill count, although it doesn't bother him as much. James would later call ThanksKilling 3 the worst movie he's ever covered, and makes it clear throughout the Kill Count how much he despises the film. He tries to give his usual opening, but gives up halfway through to rant about how he's only covering it because people wouldn't stop flooding his comments with requests for it. He insults the movie's plot and production values throughout the count, and doesn't even bother saying, "Let's get to the numbers", after recapping the film; he instead begrudgingly says, "let's get this shit over with" and just walks offscreen.

The One Thing I Don't Hate About You: No matter how much James hates a particular movie, he likes to draw attention to movie team and he'll praise directors who cared about their product and took responsibility for the people under their command. Although James hates Jason Takes Manhattan, he praised Rob Hedden's appreciation for the franchise since he kept the set free of drugs, kept a healthy atmosphere, listened to Kane Hodder's suggestions for Jason, and he put the cast and crews safety first by refusing to break overtime laws. Rob Hedden also went nude after Sharlene Martin expressed her anxiety about being naked for a film, an act that Sharlene appreciated.

Tranquil Fury: In his Kill Count for I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer, James is noticeably burnt out from this movie since he utterly despises it and is 110% done with the movie's plot and acting. He doesn't even bother introducing the movie and just wants to get the episode over and done with.

Gory Discretion Shot: James discusses the effectiveness and varying usage of this trope, demonstrating very much how Tropes Are Tools in how he varies between praising and admonishing films that use it depending on its execution. He notes that good executions can be rather terrifying while poor examples can come across as underwhelming or cheap depending on how they are depicted. He's even awarded Golden Chainsaws and Dull Machetes to kills of this nature as a reflection of its variable nature. Deliberate examples may be praised, for example, but cases where the discretion was due to the original graphic kill footage being heavily censored always make him disappointed.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 The Kill Count (Web Video) / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: The earlier videos were more subdued in the number transitions and James possessed a different hairstyle and speaking tone. They also tended to be under twenty minutes on average, with James speaking more quickly and rarely discussing behind-the-scenes information for the movies in question. Over time, Kill Counts became longer and include more discussion about the films' production. Videos released after Saw added a fair use disclaimer as well. In the Demonic Toys Kill Count, James calls back to it and points out how awful his hair looked back then. James has admitted that his more subdued demeanor in the earliest Dead Meat videos compared to his excited and energetic presence in the later ones is due to his being able to get more sleep now that Dead Meat is his full-time job. When he was working a full-time job and making the videos as a hobby, he'd typically be much more burned out when he was filming them. James lampshades this in the first two Friday the 13th Kill Counts, remarking on Jason not being the killer in the first film and his drastically different attire and appearance in the second.

Vindicated by History: invoked James hated Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning in the initial Kill Count of the film but in the recount he's stated that it's now one of his favourites. James hated Freddy vs. Jason in its initial kill counts, but by the time of the recount, he has grown to kind of like it. James considered Scream 3 the worst of the franchise in it’s initial kill count, but in its recount he now considers it this favourite Scream sequel.

 The Kill Count (Web Video) / int_58333182
comment
Spoiled by the Format: invoked Kills are instantly accompanied by text and a tally, plus a brief description of how the character died, flashing onscreen, officially adding a character to the count. If a character looks to have been killed but no text pops up on-screen, they're actually alive. James will lampshade this later when the character turns up again, noting that the audience probably realized they weren't added to the count. Averted in The Look-See (Season 1) and Scream VI Kill Counts, though, to keep the suspense, where a kill is retracted after it was added when the victim turns out to be alive. In other cases, James will outright clarify the status by mentioning right there and then that the character didn't really die, or mentioning this as the reason for why a group of victims is missing one of the members on the count.

Even the Guys Want Him: James has a rather fawning attitude towards two random patrons that resemble David Bowie in the S&M bar in the A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge Kill Count. He does it again in the Seed of Chucky Kill Count when he mentions that Glen is "only one dilated pupil away" from looking just like David Bowie. He even goes as far as to call David "the sexiest man who has ever or will ever walk this earth". He does this yet again in the Candyman Kill Count when the titular Candyman is first introduced, and he keeps gushing about his voice and good looks.

Flawless Token: Discussed in the kill count for 12 Hour Shift, James is a firm supporter of feminism and hates films that objectify women and treat them as sex objects. At the same time, he thinks films that portray women as flawless and messianic are equally problematic since they still aren't portrayed as people.

Meaningful Background Event
 The Kill Count (Web Video) / int_5b565147
comment
Meaningful Background Event: Over the course of the Child's Play Kill Counts, a Chucky doll prominently displayed in the background gradually emerges from its box, finally attacking James before he gets to the numbers for Cult of Chucky. Also, in the Final Destination videos, the decorations on James’ shelf keep getting knocked down when the death related to them happens in the movie. During, appropriately, the Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street Kill Count, James slowly shaves more and more as the video goes on, starting the video with a full beard and ending it clean-shaven. At the start of Christine Kill Count, the car in the background is broke with its parts open. But by the end of the video, the car's parts are all closed. For Basket Case, the basket is the only thing visible on the shelf. Once we get to the part where Belial is revealed to the audience, the case is turned over, revealing Belial inside.

However, he had noted in a tweet that he will use regular blur censors if the gag censors take up too much screen space to be usable.

Spared by the Cut: One of James's rules for the kill count is that he won't count characters who disappear from the movie without any explanation. Deleted scenes that show how a character dies must be implemented into the film in order to be counted, as they may have been spared or they may have been able to escape. invoked

James explains that he's not against either of those things as long as the actors and actresses are safe and comfortable with what they're consenting to, even stating how happy he is that movies are including intimacy coordinators as part of a production team note  a staff member who ensures the well-being of actors who participate in sex scenes or other intimate scenes in theater, film and television production..

He proved popular enough to later return to do Slither, Deathgasm, and Dude Bro Party Massacre 3 as well, and in a March 2023 video, James announced that Zoran would be taking over again until June while James dealt with the death of his father, with Zoran covering Deep Rising, The Collector, The Collection and the Critters series. Chelsea also finally got in on things in 2022, covering American Psycho and its sequel. She would later return to cover Bones & All and Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc.

 The Kill Count (Web Video) / int_65dd1e76
comment
Unintentionally Unsympathetic: In-Universe, James' central issue with The Devil's Rejects and especially 3 from Hell is that the Firefly family simply isn't sympathetic. They're brutal murderers, rapists, and torturers beyond even standard horror villains, and he notes that no matter how Rob Zombie meant to portray them, he is absolutely never going to want to see anything but their just comeuppance. Part of why 3 from Hell is so much worse to him is that, after getting said comeuppance in the previous entry, the Firefly family improbably survive and are treated as cool "protagonists" from there on out despite being absolute monsters. Another In-Universe example, to James, is Jigsaw; he never hesitates to call Jigsaw out on being a sadistic murderer and describes his code of ethics as "condescending," even asking if he honestly had a Freudian Excuse or if he just enjoys torturing people.

Formula-Breaking Episode
 The Kill Count (Web Video) / int_670db7d7
comment
Formula-Breaking Episode: Thanks to the 2023 WGA/SAG-AFTRA strike, the kill count crew had to experiment with the formula to avoid going on hiatus. In addition to focusing only on indie flicks until the strike ends (avoiding movies from any big-name studios) they've decided to make video games, musicals, comic books, and even songs applicable for kill counts, with the list starting off with Don't Hug Me I'm Scared, a web series where nearly ALL the kills break the usual rules for the Kill Count. And that’s not even mentioning the fact that Emesis Blue is along the line thanks to it too, an animated fan film based on Team Fortress 2note While James has counted fan films such as Never Hike Alone and the Social Medasocist music videos by Zoran Gvojic of Low Carb Comedy fame, they were all based on various horror movies.

 The Kill Count (Web Video) / int_6a0c58bf
comment
What Measure Is a Humanoid?: Alien deaths in the series are counted by how humanoid they resemble. He won't count xenomorphs since they are more insectoid and animalistic, whereas, the Yautja (Predators) are counted on the list because they display more human-like qualities in behavior and physiology. He probably would have counted the Engineers. But... they go extinct. So he didn't wanna cover the death of a race that actually dies on-screen.

Artistic License – Statistics
 The Kill Count (Web Video) / int_6b261d5e
comment
Artistic License – Statistics: Discussed. James will give a kill-on-average ratio at the end of each count, though he often points out in some films that most of the kills came only at the end or were packed in at certain points, leading to the "there were X kills on average every Y minutes" conclusion sometimes being very unlike the real distribution. In Never Hike Alone, James even acknowledges that there were only two kills in the movie, both of which came in the last five minutes. He also acknowledged this during his covering of Get Out (2017), since all eight of the deaths happened in the last fifteen minutes. In the video for Final Destination, he notes that it's the highest body count in the series due to the Flight 180 explosion and that it completely throws the simple math off. The plane crash that Brandon Breyer deliberately caused near the end of Brightburn brought him back bad memories of the Final Destination Kill Counts too due to how it artificially hyperinflated the kills in it. The ending of The Cabin in the Woods appears to have a high number because the Ancient Ones awaken and cause The End of the World as We Know It. However, James doesn't count that, since it's ambiguous as to exactly what happened. Discussed in the into to the April Fools' Day episode of Avengers: Infinity War, where James outright refuses to do a kill count for that, owing to its Downer Ending where The Bad Guy Wins and Thanos wipes out half of the entire universe with the Infinity Gauntlet. James says doing a kill count for that movie would be outright impossible.

Colour-Coded for Your Convenience
 The Kill Count (Web Video) / int_735b4101
comment
Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: The kill tally uses several colours to count victims; blue for males, red for females, grey for the undead or victims of unknown gender, and green for extra-terrestrials. As the majority of the kills in the Mortal Kombat games were unmamed extras, James seperates the pie chart between them and named kharacters. With named kombatants being in yellow and background extras being in orange. The Kill Counts for the Tremors films separately counted the various monsters and used its own color key for them — orange for Graboids, blue for Shriekers, red for Ass-Blasters, green for Dirt Dragons, and yellow for Grabbers. The Kill Count for Willy's Wonderland followed the Tremors example by separately counting the living animatronics from human deaths, using purple for them. In the Gremlins and Gremlins 2: The New Batch Kill Counts, the Gremlins themselves are listed with a dark green. In the Critters Kill Counts, the Crites are listed in grey. In the Danganronpa Kill Count, Chihiro is represented on the pie chart by a yellow wedge to avoid any of the controversy around their gender.

 The Kill Count (Web Video) / int_76d233f9
comment
Straw Feminist: James holds misandristic women to the same standard of misogynistic men and voices his dislike for the leads in 2001's Valentine. James also discussed the trope in the Dead Meat Podcast episode "Final Girl" in response to the accusations of him being a straw feminist as well, he states that he's not biased towards men. In horror movies, characters are just characters and how they die is what affects representation; male characters are more likely to die but get quick strikes, whereas, women get deaths that are more drawn out and excruciating. Female characters also get derogatory slurs thrown at them because of their sex, while men don't usually receive slurs at all.

Turns out it was just a Blue Angels show, which James goes to watch. During "The Numbers" for Us, James, in full Tethered gear, speaks in a raspy voice before he breaks character early and talks normally.

Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil
 The Kill Count (Web Video) / int_8a817c2a
comment
Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: James absolutely hates any tasteless depiction of sexual assault. In Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III James is appalled and disturbed by the implication of Leatherface being the father of the creepy childnote "You don't need that additional depravity, man. The Sawyers already eat people, that's bad enough.". In the kill count for Happy Death Day, he voices his respect towards Carter for not taking advantage of Tree while she was drunk the other night. James tells his audience that Carter is a "righteous horror character to emulate". Similarly, James states outright that he's very uncomfortable with the lengthy rape scene in The Devil's Rejects and states that he judges anyone who thinks the character who commits it is cool in any way. This is also part of what cements his negative opinion of the Firefly family.

What Measure Is a Non-Human?: As noted under Everyone Has Standards, James leaves animals off the kill count. He also flip flops on having robots and other non-humans being included, usually putting them on if they are sentient (Such as Yautja and Chucky in doll form) and leaving them off if they are sufficiently non-sentient/human (Such as Xenomorphs and most zombies).

Foreshadowing

Foreshadowing: Something of a blink-and-you'll-miss-it example in the kill count for Mayhem. In the film, the presence of the ID-7 virus is accompanied by characters rubbing at one of their eyes. James does the same thing while talking about the film, foreshadowing that the episode's Couch Gag will involve him going crazy as if he were under its effects. During the ''Pontypool kill count, James protests against Grant's warning against affectionate terms, asking how he'll talk to his cat Lucy... who he describes using affectionate terms. Sure enough, the Couch Gag has James getting infected by the movie's verbal virus. Everything that James discovers in the "The Kill Count Gets Weird." video is this towards the upcoming formula-breaking episodes. He ends up finding Mortal Kombat figurines outside the set, a PS1 with a disk of Silent Hill next to it, Zoran holding what looks like Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash with distorted Ice Nine Kills playing, Chelsea wandering around murmuring "it's punishment time" with a Monokuma plushie in hand, a playbill for The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals, a computer showing the missing posters of Heather, Josh and Mike, a DVD of Cronos, and finally, he ends up turning into a puppet at the end. The decorations on the set-dec also change from being based on Terrifier 2 to being based on Don't Hug Me I'm Scared, all but stating that the latter one would be the first of the batch to be covered.

This Is Gonna Suck
 The Kill Count (Web Video) / int_9dfb8296
comment
This Is Gonna Suck: James' reaction whenever a film has a wide or sweeping shot full of dead bodies and/or random Red Shirts getting killed, mostly because it means he'll have to go frame by frame counting everyone. The Purge series is by far the worst offender, and James will more or less always groan or complain whenever one of the films does so. Special mention should also go to Us, when it turns out that the Tethered's extermination plan goes nationwide, which provoked lots of irritation for James whenever an aboveground shot shows dozens of corpses at a time. This is also precisely why he said in his podcast episode covering Ghost Ship that he will never do a Kill Count for it, as the way the massacre scene in that film is shot would make it practically impossible for him to get a proper victim count. Similarly, he set a precedent when he covered Prometheus of not putting Engineers on the count because the next movie would've been literally impossible to correctly count in Alien: Covenant if he did. As it turns out that the Engineers meet all his rules later on in the movie, he repeatedly points out that he is literally only doing it to give himself an easier time. He has an especially bad time with Zombieland: Double Tap, which contains three scenes of mass zombie killings in the dark in rapid succession of each other during the climax. In a non-counting related example, at the beginning of the I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer Kill Count, instead of doing the usual intro of explaining the background of the movie and giving his personal opinion on it, James instead starts and ends the intro on one sentence. When announcing in a livestream that he'll be covering the Gremlins movies, James made it clear that he's not looking forward to counting the huge numbers of Gremlin deaths in the second one. In the first Critters Kill Count, Zoran makes it clear that he will be counting the Crites' deaths on a separate scale like he did with the Graboids in the Tremors films... and immediately regrets it when he realizes how many there'll be to count in Critters 2.

It's the Same, Now It Sucks!: invokedJames tends to be pretty critical towards remakes, reboots and etc. especially if they are way too similar to their source materials. Although at times he does also tend to criticize Mythology Gags. As he himself states he really appreciates originality. In his video on Quarantine (2008), James goes into detail about how he doesn't like the movie for this reason, saying that the film is too much of a shot-for-shot remake that doesn't feel as real as [REC] did. Notably, he praised the moments that the film added (in particular, the moment when the cameraman kills an infected with the camera and another moment when a man rips down the quarantine tarps only to be shot by the police outside) because he believed they were very creative additions, which made him wish there were more of them.

Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: Discussed; after watching several Saw movies, James debated on whether or not Kramer still had good enough reasons for putting so many people through his death traps. James instead wondered if Kramer just had a crippling addiction to torturing people and used parts of his backstory to justify his killings and to pass on the blame to someone else.

Oh, Crap!: James' reaction whenever a character uses a smoke grenade or something to block the view of a group killing, creating much more guesswork for him as to how many people got killed. He lampshades this during the The First Purge Kill Count. During the trailer for the Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth Kill Count, James is so clearly dreading having to cover the nightclub massacre scene that when it gets mentioned, he breaks character (having been narrating the trailer in an imitation of Pinhead's voice) in order to freak out about it. James has one on Twitter when he sees just how many he would have to count in the final chapter of Mortal Kombat 1 for a potential kill count.

Content Warnings

comment
Content Warnings: James has edited in a tone to alert viewers with seizure issues when scenes with flashing lights that may cause seizures begin and end. [REC] and Quarantine (2008) have so many flashing lights that he couldn't keep putting the tone in the videos, so he simply advised photosensitive viewers to skip them altogether. James has had to make some Kill Counts with censored film footage due to the graphic nature making his videos instant targets for demonetization. However, he really doesn't like to do this, and will usually release an explicit version alongside the censored one if he gets a sponsor deal to pay for it. In the intro for the video of President's Day, he noted that he was releasing a video about a Serial Killer in a high school not long after the Parkland shooting (the video was planned months in advance) and warned viewers to turn it off if they couldn't handle it so soon. As of The Invisible Man (2020), self-harm warnings are included.

Take That!: The Nightmare on Elm Street version of the Freddy vs. Jason Kill Count has James talking about Blake's father, an Alex Jones lookalike, and he absolutely refuses to mince words about Jones, sarcastically lamenting what Blake would do "with all that Info Wars money" and stating that Blake's father would "spread conspiracies about all those kids getting killed", capping the whole thing off with: James doesn't mince words when it comes to the Weinstein brothers. The Predators Kill Count has him mention that the titular aliens are not to be confused with sexual predators such as Harvey Weinstein. In his recount of the first Scream movie, he is thoroughly annoyed at how the brothers are a part of the movie's DNA, such as Bob specifically creating iconic name and choosing the release date, dropping a Cluster F-Bomb. Upon noticing a poster for David Bowie's album Tonight during the A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge kill count, James snarks about Tonight being "a bottom three Bowie album - bottom two if you don't count Tin Machine (Album)". In his kill count for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003), James lightly insults Michael Bay by referencing Bay's style of using unnecessary fanservice. As the protagonist, Erin gets wet twice during the movie while wearing a white top, James comments that Jessica Biel must be freezing while doing the scene. James also states that Bay must have given her the role after she washed his car ? Referencing the story about Michael Bay forcing Megan Fox to clean his car as he recorded her so she could get a role in the Transformers'' movie. In the recount of Friday the 13th (2009), after mentioning how many seasons of Supernatural Jared Padalecki had been through by then, James proceeds to joke about the show’s status as a Long Runner. In the first Tremors kill count, Zoran mentions how Syfy passed on a 2018 spinoff TV series, then proceeds to list all the shows Syfy did make that year, all of which got cancelled after a single season. The fake ad for Dorsia states that it "caters only to the highest clientele... and Jared Leto." In the Scream (2022) kill count, it's pretty clear based on a joke Film Fail Counter that the film's in-universe Film Fails channel is supposed to be riff on CinemaSins. During the Critters Kill Counts, Zoran makes it clear how much he hates and will never cover Critters: A New Binge, to the point that in Critters Attack! he tries to wipe it from his memory. In the Bones and All Kill Count, Chelsea takes a shot at Armie Hammer's scandals, joking that working with him on Call Me by Your Name probably gave the director the experience necessary to do a film about cannibals. James makes it clear from the get go in his Kill Count for Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey that he hates the movie, for the execution of its general concept, its plot hole-ridden script, and terrible costume designs.

Hypocritical Humor: James expresses annoyance at the fact that Child's Play ended in a freeze-frame, only for the shot before he gets to the numbers to end in one itself. In fact, many of his segues to the numbers feature him being harmed by something he mocked or criticized in the film he just discussed.

Berserk Button: While James usually has a rather neutral reaction to most of the bad movies that he watches, he seems to absolutely despise Saw 3D. Best shown when he brings up the movie's most infamous scene, Joyce burning to death, during the Final Destination 3 kill count. He doesn't really like finding piles of dead bodies in movies and having to count them as well, as evidenced by this line from his Kill Count for the Banana Splits Movie when Paige finds the rest of the adults dead in a heap.

Brief Accent Imitation: At the start of the Wolf Creek kill count, James gives his typical greeting in an Australian accent due to the movie's setting. He then drops it and apologizes for it. The Emesis Blue kill count opens with James imitating Scout's Bronx accent before he drops it for the rest of the video.

Luckily, James was sent a free replacement axe before the Kill Count happened. Also, when James finally realizes he's going to have to cover Thankskilling 3. Speaking of Thankskilling, In the Critters Attack! kill count, James lets out one when a cameoing Jordan Downeynote The director and writer of both Thankskilling films decides to start writing Thankskilling 4.

Self-Deprecation: During his Kill Count for Season 2 of ''The Look-See, James refers to Raymond (the character that James himself played) as "a Gordon Hayward-looking jackass", asks if he watches too many horror movies or something, and says how James Capshaw could have taken him easily in the Dull Machete for the lamest kill. James himself is awarded the Dull Machete at the end of the Mordeo Kill Count, by getting his throat ripped out by a Mordeo after accidentally eating human flesh. He compares himself to Freddy vs. Jason character Linderman. Said character berates Kia for wearing too much makeup and apparently that's what James would say in his youth.

Dude, Not Funny!: While James doesn't mind if female characters die in horror movies, he does call out certain movies that use sexual exploitation, use them for sympathy points, or paint women as Straw Feminists. Does NOT enjoy the "girl is raped by the gimmick killer" 'gag' used in movies like Thankskilling and Jack Frost. He calls out Saw 3D on its excessive use of violent deaths for women, including one innocent woman who was burned alive in a brazen bull because her husband lied about being caught in one of Jigsaw's traps.

Hostile Show Takeover: At the end of the ''Mordeo'' Season 1 Kill Count, James is temporarily taken out by one of the titular creatures after mistakenly eating human flesh he thought was beef jerky. As a result, the Mordeo delivers the numbers and awards in unintelligible screaming before James (sporting a nasty neck wound) shoos it away to do the outro. At the end of the Scream (2022) Kill Count, Ghostface (reprised by Roger L. Jackson) stabs and kills James before going over his victims and listing off his personal Golden Chainsaw and Dull Machete.

Cerebus Syndrome: A temporary and very well-received example. When Chelsea fills in for two weeks, she admits at the end of her second video that she can't quite match the "zany" energy of James and Zoran, and her videos are done in a noticeably more dry, serious academic (but still funny) style of delivery. Even her choice of movie is an example of this, as instead of the typical slashers and the like normally covered, she picked the far more complex and literary (well, at least the first film) American Psycho franchise as a topic. She herself lampshades this during the review, after a particularly brutal scene where Bateman insults and then stabs a poor homeless guy to death, she comments almost wistfully on the fact James typically gets to cover more outlandish and darkly comic things such as someone getting their flash-frozen head smashed (Jason X) or a woman's butt magically growing until it explodes (Leprechaun 3.)

Every Episode Ending
 The Kill Count (Web Video) / int_d076824c
comment
Every Episode Ending: At the end of each kill count, James shows a pie chart of the gender ratios for the kills, then gives out two awards: "Golden Chainsaw" for the coolest kill, and "Dull Machete" for the lamest kill. Finally, the host ends with "I'm James A. Janisse, and this has been the Kill Count." Also, right after a short spiel at the end of each video where James thanks his Patreon supporters, the last line of every video is "Be good people.". Two awards were added on for his look at the Saw series, "Platinum Punji Sticks" and "Rusty Mousetrap" for the best and worst trap in a movie, regardless of whether it killed someone or not. For the Kill Counts of Saw II through Saw 3D, James also gives each movie a specialized subtitle to help distinguish them from each other. For the Jurassic Park/World franchise, he adds the "Diamond Dino" award for the best dinosaur moment in the franchise, regardless of whether it killed someone or not. For the Final Destination series, he adds the "Primo Premonition" award for the best kill to happen in a premonition that doesn't actually occur. Since Krampus wasn't actually a Kill Count but a "Capture Count", the awards were changed to the "Golden Santa Sack" and the "Sour Candy Cane" for the best and worst captures respectively. Beginning with his re-done Night of the Living Dead (1968) kill count he inaugurated the "Coolest Corpse" award, for the zombie he found the most interesting. During the Tremors kills counts, guest host Zoran counts the Graboid deaths separately from the human ones, and gives the "Burt's Hunting Trophy" award to whichever one he likes best. During the Child's Play recounts, James adds a "Champion Chuckle" award to whatever he feels is the most funny moment in each movie. For the Gremlins and Gremlins 2: The New Batch Kill Counts, James adds a "Golden Gremlin" medal for whichever Gremlin is coolest in each movie. For the Critters Kill Counts, Zoran awards the "Bounty Booty" medal to best Crite kill. Emesis Blue forgoes the pie chart, as all of the deaths were male with one exception (Scout's mother), so it instead shows a bar graph of how many times each class was killed.

James eventually warmed up to the Leprechaun franchise, considering it to be this as time went on. He even didn't give out a "Dull Machete" for Leprechaun Returns, since all of the deaths were so creative that he didn't feel right giving a Medal of Dishonor to the film.

Narm: In his opinion, the premonition deaths in Final Destination 4 come across as this. They are so badly done that he refers to the people involved as "cartoon characters".

O.O.C. Is Serious Business

comment
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: He was really miserable during the I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer Kill Count. James barely had any energy, skipping right over his usual intro of information by just saying "this movie fucking sucks". He later confirmed that I'll Always Know is his most hated horror movie of all time. He was even more miserable during the Kill Count for ThanksKilling 3. He couldn't even get through his usual intro before he started tearing the film apart and saying that he was only covering it because people wouldn't stop leaving comments asking him to do it. At the end, he doesn't say "let's get to the numbers", but "let's get this shit over with" and walking off without the usual Couch Gag.

Equal-Opportunity Evil: Part of the objective with the number breakdowns, which break down the kill numbers by gender, is to see if the deaths in a film follow this pattern.

April Fools' Day
 The Kill Count (Web Video) / int_eac3ee70
comment
Discussed in the into to the April Fools' Day episode of Avengers: Infinity War, where James outright refuses to do a kill count for that, owing to its Downer Ending where The Bad Guy Wins and Thanos wipes out half of the entire universe with the Infinity Gauntlet. James says doing a kill count for that movie would be outright impossible.

Identical Stranger: In-universe. James has trouble telling Sally and Louise apart in his Kill Count for Uncle Sam. James is unable to tell the difference between Laura and Jerri in Silent Night, Deadly Night III: Better Watch Out!.

Buffy Speak: During the kill count for The Collection, Zoran refers to the people that the Collector tortures as Screambies, since "They scream like idiots and act like zombies".

Shown Their Work: James often goes into the details of a film's production, giving trivia and shouting out members of the production who may be obscure or less discussed because they worked on areas with less publicity. He'll also bring attention to negative or problematic aspects of production and call them out, which also requires background research. It leads to James using an updated opening catchphrase, "Where we tally up the victims in all our favorite horror movies and show ya how they were made!"
