Tom Holland (1943- )1. Child's Play (1988) *****2. Fright Night (1985) *****3. Thinner (1996) *****Fright Night and Child's Play are both elegantly composed and witty horror-comedies; fun and deservedly iconic. Child's Play surprised me, actually, as an articulate expression of single-mother anxiety about 'absentee' parenting and leaving a child to be raised by wider cultural forces.
