Fan Unearths Rare ‘Child’s Play 3’ Poster Concepts

Published

While you wait for Cult of Chucky, dig into some fun Child’s Play history!

Released in 1991, director Jack Bender’s Child’s Play 3 isn’t exactly the most beloved film in the Child’s Play franchise. Set at a military academy, the second sequel in the series recast the role of Andy Barclay for another tale of the pint-sized killer doll attempting to play a game of “hide the soul”; it’s the first film in the franchise that I ever saw, and it’s also my least favorite of the original trilogy.

I do love that haunted attraction-set finale, however!

Why are we talking about Child’s Play 3 today? Because franchise fan Stephen Snowdon just took to Facebook to share a handful of unused art concepts for the third film’s poster. He says “they appeared on an auction site about a year ago.

The 11 alternate concepts differ greatly from the official poster, which was a close-up shot of Chucky’s face. Some of the art spoofs other advertising campaigns, including the poster for 1989 film Look Who’s Talking, iconic World War I recruitment art, and even the Energizer Bunny commercials that were popular at the time.

Check out the unused Child’s Play 3 posters below!

The Final Destination franchise is returning to life with Final Destination: Bloodlines. With filming now underway, THR reports that three actors have joined the lead cast, including “Chucky” actor Teo Briones.

Brec Bassinger (“Stargirl”) and Kaitlyn Santa Juana (The Friendship Game) join Teo Briones, who played Junior Wheeler in season two of “Chucky,” as the leads in the sixth installment of the horror franchise.

Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein (Freaks) are directing the fresh installment that also includes Richard Harmon (“The 100”, Grave Encounters 2), Anna Lore, Owen Patrick Joyner, Max Lloyd-Jones (The Book Of Boba Fett), Rya Kihlstedt (Obi Wan Kenobi), and Tinpo Lee (The Manor) among the cast.

Production is now underway in Vancouver.

What can we expect from the upcoming Final Destination 6? Speaking with Collider, franchise creator Jeffrey Reddick offered up an intriguing (and mysterious) tease last year.

“This film dives into the film in such a unique way that it attacks it from a different angle so you don’t feel like, ‘Oh, there’s an amazing setup and then there’s gonna be one wrinkle that can potentially save you all that you have to kind of make a moral choice about or do to solve it.’ There’s an expansion of the universe that – I’m being so careful,” Reddick teased.

Reddick continued, “It kind of unearths a whole deep layer to the story that kind of, yes, makes it really, really interesting.”

Final Destination: Bloodlines is written by Lori Evans Taylor (“Wicked Wicked Games”) and Guy Busick (Scream), with Jon Watts (Spider-Man: No Way Home) producing.

Producers on the new movie for New Line Cinema also include Dianne McGunigle (Cop Car) as well as Final Destination producers Craig Perry and Sheila Hanahan Taylor.

This will be the sixth installment in the hit franchise, and the first in over ten years. Each film centers on “Death” hunting down young friends who survive a mass casualty event.

The latest entry is expected in 2025, coinciding with the original film’s 25th anniversary.
