It happens all the time in horror movies: the terrified victim screams to the police that she’s being hunted by a murderer, but the cops shrug it off and don’t believe her. Because of this, the slasher movie body count has been way too high for a long time. That’s why we take the recent […]
We’ve known about it for a long time, but this was the week the SyFy Channel officially committed to the Chucky TV show that’s been talked about for over a year. Within that time, a rebooted feature film (which recast Chucky as a corrupted robot AI with needy tendencies) was announced, filmed, edited, shown in […]
Orion’s Child’s Play remake, which hit theaters June 21 (the same day as Toy Story 4), is heading to your electronic devices next month. Let’s hope Chucky doesn’t take them over.

We have a visual on the plastic menace set to terrorize the neighborhood this summer. MGM’s latest trailer for the Child’s Play remake was released today, and for the first time in the entire campaign, the “new” Chucky has been revealed.

The Child’s Play franchise has taken a weird turn in the last six months. Creator Don Mancini announced plans to create an eight-part miniseries for television, centered around his famous murderous doll. Then MGM announced they were putting together a Child’s Play remake with a new director, new actors, new Chucky and everything. Apparently both […]
Lock your toybox, because pudgy dolls are getting in a stabby mood again. According to THR, MGM is making plans to reboot the Child’s Play franchise with a new movie. This proposed feature would be written by Tyler Burton Smith (Kung Fury 2), produced by David Katzenberg and Seth Grahame-Smith (It) and directed by Lars […]
Most classic movie monsters and slasher stars have been rewritten and rebooted countless times by now, but the one constant has always been Chucky the Killer Doll. Every appearance of his has been guided by the same writer (Chris Mancini), the same producer (David Kirschner), and the same voice actor (Brad Dourif). Of course, being […]
In his long career as a writer and director, Tom Holland has managed to create visions that have haunted the nightmares of generations, especially Generations X and Y, who became familiar with him through movies like Class Of 1984, for which he wrote the screenplay, and Fright Night and Child’s Play, which he wrote and […]
