Child’s Play enthusiasts, Mezco Toys has announced their brand new 15 Inch Mega Scale Chucky! This guy looks fantastic, and he’s apparently up for more than just sitting on your shelf. READ MORE
There’s nothing worse than having to report on bad news. And unfortunately, there’s no “good news first” scenario here. READ MORE
For the past six months, director Makinov‘s remake of the gritty 70′s film Who Can Kill A Child? was called Child’s Play. We all knew that wouldn’t fly, and the title has inevitably been changed to Come Out And Play. Oddly enough, no pics from it were released along with today’s announcement of TIFF’s Midnight Madness selections. But – last night – the official Midnight Madness Twitter account teased a couple of images and we figured we’d include them here. READ MORE
Holy sh*t! There’s obviously a lot of horror in the Midnight Madness selections of the Toronto International Film Festival, but I’m not sure if you were expecting this many big fish! For starters, we’ve got Rob Zombie‘s The Lords Of Salem. Next? The 26 director anthology The ABC’s Of Death. Not enough? How about Nicolas Lopez‘s Eli Roth/Selena Gomez starrer Aftershock. Still hungry? Then there’s JT Petty‘s Hellbenders 3D. READ MORE
We have heard your cries! MANY of you felt that the The Ultimate Horror Challenge wasn’t comprehensive enough! So we included an additional 20 films that round it out a bit more. Many of these are from your suggestions! But this still isn’t a list of every horror movie ever made. And it still doesn’t contain every major work of every horror auteur (there’s still no John Carpenter’s They Live or Wes Craven’s The Last House On The Left). READ MORE
This isn’t a list of every horror movie ever made. Nor does it contain every major work of every horror auteur (you’ll notice we didn’t include John Carpenter’s They Live or Wes Craven’s The Last House On The Left). Rather, this is a compendium of films that we feel – in one way or another – are essential viewing for every horror fan. Some are mainstream (Poltergeist), some aren’t (Cannibal Holocaust). It’s a broad sampling of key films from the genre. READ MORE
Screen Daily reports that Fox International Productions is hitting Cannes with Child’s Play – surely to be retiled when sold here in the States – the long-gestured remake of the 1976 Spanish thriller Who Can Kill A Child? that we exclusively reported on back in 2008 (it’s weird bragging now). READ MORE
One day MGM will get a new Child’s Play off the ground, but until then TikGames has made a pact with Universal Partnerships & Licensing to develop and publish the first officially licensed video game based on the Chucky movie franchise!! Currently in development, this interactive title is targeted to launch on console and PC digital distribution platforms this fall. READ MORE
While already reported last year, there appears to be some “fresh” development on the long-planned Child’s Play remake. READ MORE
A must-see, “Blinky” is nothing short of brilliant. READ MORE
My friend Zak just sent me the greatest video interview of the year, maybe even the next decade. In her upcoming CNN interview with Piers Morgan, Oprah Winfrey reveals that the box-office performance of her 1998 Toni Morrison adaptation Beloved was the biggest failure of her life: ““I don’t want to call it a turkey, but it didn’t work, and it sent me into a massive, depressive macaroni and cheese-eating tailspin. Literally!” The blame? She points her finger at the Ronny Yu-directed Bride of Chucky, the fourth film in the Child’s Play franchise. Continued inside! (more…) READ MORE
It’s a shame that after being announced in 2007 (yes, it really has been that long), nothing is still going on with the Child’s Play remake, which is being written and directed by series creator Don Mancini – if it ever happens, that is. The guys over at Screen Junkies got to chat with Mancini at a recent screening of Seed Of Chucky, where he updated them on the status of his long-gestating reboot. (more…) READ MORE

Back in January Bloody-Disgusting’s Chris Eggertsen had the chance to visit the set of Dark Sky Films’ upcoming Hatchet II, Adam Green’s sequel to the slasher film that became previous distributor Anchor Bay’s top-selling original title when it was released in 2007. While on set at Occidental Studios in L.A., Chris had the chance to speak with some of the film’s cast, including Danielle Harris, AJ Bowen, and Tom Holland, and got a behind-the-scenes look at the interior of Victor Crowley’s house. In addition, he narrowly escaped being pummeled by star Kane Hodder. Read on for his full set report. (more…) READ MORE
In conjunction with Holland’s latest Twisted Tale entitled “Vampire’s Dance,” the writer/director returned to his seductive vampire roots established with his 1985 horror classic Fright Night. This newest tale centers around chance encounters and the seductive temptation of the ‘vampire’s dance’ when a young woman (Lisa McClowry) heads to a dance club in search of her missing roommate. She gets more than she bargained for when a mysterious club regular (Shaun Benson) lures her into his dark and dangerous world. READ MORE

Since unofficially announced way back in October of ’07, things have been relatively quiet for Child’s Play, the remake of the classic 80′s flick that creator Don Mancini has been scripting with plans of taking the helm. This weekend Brad Dourif – who played Charles Lee Ray (also known as Chucky) in the franchise – was on hand at a local horror convention where he confirmed that he will in fact once again play the voice of Chucky. He told fans that after hearing from a random guy at a drug store that he wasn’t returning, he called Mancini and asked, “Are you remaking ‘Child’s Play’?” Mancini exclaimed, “Yeah, you’re gonna do it, right?” Dourif screamed, “YES!” Although, no word on when Universal plans on putting this sucker into production. We’ll keep you posted as always. (more…) READ MORE
MGM Home Entertainment’s 20th Birthday Edition of CHILD’S PLAY is now available on DVD everywhere, and to celebrate we chatted one-on-one with creator Don Mancini, who reflects on the past, present and future of Chucky, one of the most infamous slashers in horror history.
