Don Mancini is Standing on the ‘Curse of Chucky’ Set…
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.

After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.
You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!
Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.
Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”
“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.
She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”
Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.
Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
