YMMV / Chuck Dowling

• Bias Steamroller: 80’s movies will always get him in a good mood.
• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: During The Howling marathon Satan of all people interrupts him to tell him good work for allowing himself to suffer.
  Chuck "Satan?"
• Bile Fascination: Has seen some horrendus films due to poor word of mouth. Hostel II in particular he despised since he genuinely liked the first movie and felf outright betrayed by the second.
• Bizarro Episode: His review of Howling VI where he spends a brief time reviewing then this happens
  "We wanna thank you for a good job this year. Your videos are a big hit down south."
• Heartwarming Moments: After Chuck announced he couldn't do the series anymore his fans were pretty upset as Season 11's Venom has demonetized the ENTIRE channel. He was urged to create a Patreon, which he already had, so his fans could help out the channel. His fans not only met but exceeded his wish. Essentially allowing him to continue without problem.
• Growing the Beard: season 3 in particular stuck out amongst the viewers. His smarmy tone and attitude really helped it stand out. By season 8 & 9 Chuck admitted the first two seasons were not very good.
• Fandom Rivalry: Fans of other Internet Critics are hard on him, he in turn is hard on them.
• He Panned It, Now He Sucks!: Modern horror films tend to get shit on in his earlier years and fans were not to happy with his opinions. Later seasons he’d change his stance since he gave the films a chance.
  • His Creepshow review has this in spades. Most of comments are generally negative and the video is split in half in terms of likes and dislikes.
  • John Carpenters Vampires comment section is full of vitriol towards him because of his uncomfortable feelings towards James Woods homophobic rants.
• Memetic Badass: Oh Candyman muthafucka!
• Narm Charm: Adores it when films embrace the absurd. As it allows him to enjoy just as much as they are.
• Never Live It Down:
  • His review of Creepshow still haunts him to this day. Many fans still bring it up after 7 years later.
  • Tales from the Crypt fans went into a shit storm when he panned several early episodes. Even after the dust settled he ended up never reviewing other seasons of the series.
• Older Than They Think: While season 2 had him review the Witchcraft series, season 1 had him review most of the Ghoulie series.
• Tear Jerker: Chuck by and large has had very poor luck in regards to his series. Season 9's hard drive issue, season 10's hospital visit, and season 11's almost cancellation has pretty much broken his spirit. It's a wonder how he was able to keep going...See Heartwarming Moments above.
