Huge Child’s Play fan here, and it’s totally random that I just binged the first four films earlier this week. After what feels like an eternity of teasing, Child’s Play writer and creator Don Mancini just tweeted out a bomb that could mean production is ramping up on the long gestured Chucky 7.
What you see below is Mancini standing outside the setting of the sixth Child’s Play, Curse of Chucky, which he also directed. The house belonged to Fiona Dourif‘s Curse character who survives the doll’s bloody massacre.
The tweet teases that “Chucky is finally coming home,” with Dourif being tagged alongside Summer H. Howell, Jennifer Tilly and Alex Vincent, star of the first two Child’s Play films who returned in a shocking post credits sequence in Curse. The film ended as if Mancini planned to tie the previous three films – Bride of Chucky, Seed of Chucky and Curse of Chucky – together in a seventh film, which has been in development for the better part of the year.
For those who haven’t been keeping up, after Charles Lee Ray (Brad Dourif) failed to transfer his soul into Andy’s body, he retrieved the Heart of Damballa in Bride of Chucky with the help of Tiffany (Tilly), his ex who he transfers into the body of a female doll. The two have doll sex, resulting in the birth of Glen (or Glenda?) who was left out of Curse of Chucky. Chucky returned in Curse, which looked like a reboot, only Mancini was fucking with the audience; the new look was to cover up the stitched together and scarred plastic hiding underneath. When the film concluded, Mancini teased the return of Tiffany (back in her human body) and Andy, who appears to have been waiting for Chucky since 1991.
I’m insanely excited for the family reunion in Chucky 7 and love that it remains one of the only authentic in-canon franchises left.
When will we receive official news? I have no clue, but I am hoping that he’s scouting the location for a shoot early next year. We’ll report back with official news as it comes in.
