Living with ChuckyAs the daughter of a special effects professional who worked on such films as Darkman, Army of Darkness and Hocus Pocus among many others, first time filmmaker, Kyra Elise Gardner was inspired to use her Dad’s work on the Child’s Play films as the subject of her documentary, Living With Chucky. What follows is an interview with the director, who provides insight into how she exposed the heart of this horror franchise, without the bloody organ being ripped out of someone’s chest by a killer doll. Adam Pope: First off, I have to say that I loved Living With Chucky. It really surprised me with its heart and the production values were wonderful. I’m a huge documentary fan, so I was especially fascinated by the background design for the interview segments. That’s something I always pay attention to, such as the Abigail Breslin set for Living With Chucky. How much thought did you give to the spaces in which you conducted the interviews, as far as including a piece

The Child’s Play franchise is one of the most enduring and unique franchises within the Horror genre. Over the last 20 years, the likes of Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger and Michael Myers have all gotten the documentary treatment, so it’s only fair that Chucky should finally receive the behind the scenes spotlight. What makes Living With Chucky by Kyra Elise Gardner stand out from the rest however, is the perspective of a special effects supervisor’s daughter who got behind the camera to not only deliver footage of the filmmakers discussing their craft, but revealing the emotional bonds forged while bringing a beloved killer doll to life. During my 80’s childhood, the horror icons of Freddy, Jason and The Shape were spooky figures who roamed in the realm of horny teenagers, way beyond my life experience at age 6 in 1988. But upon seeing Chucky at the video store, suddenly the scares were brought into my home and began emanating from my toy box. I’ll admit to staring wide-eyed at my

Chucky Season 3 is coming this fall! The Ginger Killer doll himself has just made the announcement that Chucky will return for a third season.After the conclusion of the second season, fans of the show have taken to the internet to urge Syfy and USA Network to renew the horror comedy. His silence in the weeks after season 2 raised concerns that the show might be canceled. It has been teased that the next third season would be the most terrifying one ever. As a result, Chucky will have less comedic elements and will return to his horror roots. Season 2 had been a roller coaster ride. We had an innocent Chucky who became religious. A nun worshiping that said Chucky and the return of Glen and Glenda. The Highlight of the Season for me though is When Chucky killed the  then WWE Smackdown Women’s champion got killed by Chucky. Chucky Season 3 Announcement! His recent feud with M3gan seemed like the best Clout for the killer Doll.As a result, it kept people talking about him even while they waited for the new season to

Forget that embarrassing 2019 remake…the real deal is here. After a development cycle spanning several years and one pandemic, Chucky the Killer Doll finally has his own TV series, which debuts its first episode in a matter of days. Both series creator / head writer Don Mancini and voice of Chucky Brad Dourif are back to make sure everything goes smoothly…er, chaotically. Also returning are other veteran actors of the movies including Jennifer Tilly as Tiffany, who somehow has managed to regain her own body. She still seems smitten with Chucky, though, which could get weird. Mancini’s original idea for the first Child’s Play was that a demented kid would somehow bring his Cabbage Patch doll (or knockoff legal equivalent) to life and send it after the people he didn’t like. The pitch was reshaped by other writers so that the kid was innocent and the doll was possessed by a serial killer, a change Mancini initially resented but eventually warmed to. The general plot thread of this new series

When the studios were attempting to bring back the slasher villains of the 80’s a few years ago, the actors playing them were mostly recast — except for one. Brad Dourif has remained the sole voice actor behind Child’s Play’s Chucky ever since his invention. Even Robert Englund has lost the role of Freddy to age, but there’s something about plastic that makes it durable. And to think he nearly didn’t get the part. As Dourif tells AV Club, “when they did the first Child’s Play, I was doing Mississippi Burning at the time, and they needed me to go to the studio, which, of course, I couldn’t go to because I was on set working, so they got somebody else.” “They just couldn’t wait around. They got this guy, and him and Tom Holland did the whole movie, and they stood up and they laughed their asses off, and apparently it was really funny, and they loved it, and they put it in front of an audience, and the
