Fun Time Film Series

The Fun Time Film Series(also known as Billy) is a is an American Horror Film franchise that consists of eight slasher-horror Films, starring Academy Award nominee Willem Dafoe. The series consist of movies, but also Nine comic books and five novels. The first installment, Fun Time, was released on November 9, 1989. The film has spawned seven sequels. The films are all centered on Jack Kemper Norris (played by Dafoe) aka Billy, a notorious serial killer known as the "Minnesota Slasher" whose soul is trapped inside a Blinky Clown doll following a voodoo ritual to avoid the afterlife. The franchise focus on the serial killer Jack Kamper Norris, who, after an firefight gets wonded and near to death, transfers his soul to an Blinky Clown doll, later adopting the name of Billy. He continuosly tries to transfer his soul to an human body, eventually killing everyone in his way. Most of the character's back story is revealed in the eight film.

The series originally started out as straight horror with the first installment Fun Time (1989), which appears to have more psychological horror elements while its successors are straightforward slasher films. As the films progressed, they became satirical and campy, until the series briefly became a horror comedy, beginning with 1999's Bride of Billy, Billy's Rampage Billy and Nicole invades Manhattan and 2004's Seed of Billy. On June 23, 2012, it was confirmed that a new sequel to Fun Time would be made under the title Revenge of Billy and be released direct-to-video. Unlike Bride, Manhattan, Rampage and Seed, Revenge of Billy is a full-fledged horror film much like the original three installments. However, it does maintain the campy humor to a small degree.

Overview
In Fun Time, released in 1989, serial killer and voodoo practitioner Jack Kemper Norris is mortally wounded and transfers his soul via a voodoo ritual into a child-sized "Blinky Clown" doll. The doll is found by a homeless peddler and sold to Susan Davis, who gives it to her son Andy as a birthday gift. Billy has to get his soul out of the doll before it turns human and the transfer becomes permanent, and thus has to possess the first person he told his secret to which was Andy, unfortunately. Desperate to leave his doll body, Billy terrorizes the Davis. Destroying the doll does not stop him, but a bullet through its heart does.

One years later in Fun Time 2 (1990), Andy is living in foster care; the doll's manufacturer has taken Billy's remains and remade it to prove there is nothing wrong with the doll. In his now better body, Billy hunts down Andy, but wastes too much time and fails to transfer his soul to Andy. Andy and his foster sister destroy this doll as well, this time by dousing Billy in hot, molten plastic followed by an air hose forced into his mouth to blow up his head.

Fun Time 3 (1998) picks up eight years after the second film. The Blinky Clown factory has re-opened after the events of the previous film. As Billy's remains are removed, some blood from the body drips into a vat of melted plastic and so Billy returns in a new doll body and goes on to hunt the now 16-year-old Andy at a military academy. Billy finds a new boy, Cooper who he shares his 'secret' with and then proceeds to try and possess his body. Andy rescues Cooper before Billy possesses him by shooting Billy in the chest, and Billy falls into an extractor fan and is sliced into several pieces.
