  1. I think more specifically for the wraith, he seems to attack right in the center of the spine almost the length of this weapon but of coure due to the restrictions the doesnt actually sub-zero them and pull out their skill and spine, but it could be what he did to his boss.

  2. Does anyone get the feeling that the obsession with fingers and what clown does to them, has a very creepy and phalic implication given his very abusive childhood and some of his lore being pulled from youknowwho?

  3. Chucky’s mori is exactly that he’s reenacting some of his OG kills, the hammer is the one he threw at aunt Maggie making fall out the window and land on a car, the baseball bat is the one he used to knock out Andy trying to transfer his soul into his body and he would end up using to beat detective Mike with, and the yard stick is the same one he used to kill the teacher in the second film, and of course the knife he uses can be a reference to any of his knife kills but the ones I think they reference most are the ones from Curse of Chucky the sixth film which he uses a knife that looks like the same one he uses here. Another thing I’d like to point out also is it shows he’s clear enjoyment of what he does and the fear he puts into others taking a line from the films “I love being me and I love my job, especially the look on my victims face when they realize it’s all really happening, a children’s toy is actually beating them to death with a yard stick, or setting them on fire, eviscerating them, all actually explains” these are lines said by the three chuckys in Cult of Chucky which like the mori shows chucky’s love for what he does and the fear he causes when people see a living doll is trying to kill them.

  4. Draculas one does references a castlevania cutscene, in most of his boss fight intros he throws his glass to the ground, shattering it.
    Also, if he kills the belmont, he will have a different line, if im not wrong.

  5. Castlevania Fan here, it is correct that Dracula's Mori is a reference to the iconic "What is a Man?" line but another thing to note is the major differences between regular and True Form Drac's moris. When Drac is in Regular Form, he barely puts in effort, hence why it's a quick mori. The only reason Drac would turn into the True Form is when his opponent is someone he shouldn't underestimate, hence why the mori is much more brutal. The only times he ever uses the True Form is whenever he gets bested by the Belmonts
