Since Don Mancini created him in 1988, the Brad Dourif voiced Chucky has rampaged through a variety of locations. In his human form, the serial killer was dubbed the Lakeshore Strangler and terrorized Chicago for years. After Charles Lee Ray transferred himself int...

October 14, 2021 at 1:21 PM Don Mancini's psychotic serial killing doll has been terrorizing the big screen since 1988's "Child's Play." Now, Chucky is taking a stab at television in a new series from SYFY, fittingly titled "Chucky." The "Child's Play" franchise lives on, just as bloody as ever and right on time for spooky season. But if you're not confident the killer doll can make the big leap to the small screen, the network is offering some extra assurance: the first episode of "Chucky" is available to stream for free ...

October 12, 2021 at 11:17 PM Diving into a franchise that has produced eight feature films certainly isn’t child’s play, but the latest adventure centered around everyone’s favorite homicidal doll has one thing going for it that its predecessor did not. Whereas Don Mancini, the writer for every other film in the series, wasn’t involved in the 2019 Child’s Play reboot, he’s back at the helm for Chucky’s first venture into television. As a result, this adaptation automatically benefits from the feeling that it stays true to t...

October 12, 2021 at 4:42 PM One of the best things about the "Child's Play/Chucky" franchise is that with the exception of the canonically unrelated remake, writer Don Mancini has been behind every single screenplay in the franchise. And for the latter three films, he also served as the director. The "Chucky" franchise is Don Mancini, and because of that, the consistency in lore and storytelling is unmatched compared to other horror heavyweights like "Halloween," or "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre."In a recent interview with...

October 12, 2021 at 10:11 AM Horror franchises come and go, but Chucky is forever. The tiny ginger killing machine has survived over the years because his franchise is so fluid. Rather than stick rigidly to familiar beats, series creator and driving force Don Mancini has kept the "Child's Play" franchise fresh by changing it as it went along. Changing things up so drastically from film to film could've backfired, but Mancini and company managed to make it all feel perfectly natural. So much so that we could easily believe t...

September 28, 2021 at 10:06 PM Until the 2019 remake, the "Child's Play" franchise held the distinction of being the only franchise in horror history to keep the same screenwriter for every installment.

May 22, 2019 at 7:30 PM Sympathetic villains can often be intriguing, but sometimes you just can’t beat a straight-up-evil antagonist.

According to Grahame-Smith, you can expect a whole lot of gore and intensity in the upcoming movie, so at least that’s one less thing to worry about.
Not every horror movie needs an R-rating. There are plenty of fright flicks that manage to scare with a solid PG-13. But then there are titles that demand ...
