The story you know hides a secret.

Osgood Perkins (The Blackcoat’s Daughter, I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House) and Orion Pictures put a dark new spin on the classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale with Gretel & Hansel, releasing at the end of the month. Today brings with it a brand new trailer that’s loaded with all kinds of crazy new footage, along with a gorgeous new piece of poster art.

Horror fans have been keeping their eye on Perkins for a while now, and Gretel & Hansel will bring one of his twisted nightmares to big screen wide release for the first time. If this trailer is any indication, he’s going to be winning over a whole lot of new fans here in 2020. And if the movie is as good as it looks, well, let’s just say he’s fast becoming a new master on the scene.

Check out the new trailer and poster art down below.

In the film, “A long time ago in a distant fairytale countryside, a young girl (Sophia Lillis) leads her little brother (Sammy Leakey) into a dark wood in desperate search of food and work, only to stumble upon a nexus of terrifying evil.”

Alice KrigeCharles Babalola and Jessica De Gouw also star.

Rob Hayes wrote the script. Orion is releasing Gretel & Hansel on January 31, 2020.

Don Mancini in the “Early Stages” of Working On a New “Chucky” Movie!

Chucky death

Everyone’s favorite killer doll is headed back to the small screen with “Chucky” Season 3: Part 2 on April 10, but are any further movies being planned at this time?

Created by Don Mancini, the “Chucky” television series remarkably plays around with existing elements from all previous films without disregarding ANYTHING from the past. From the original Child’s Play to sequels including Child’s Play 2, Bride of Chucky and even Seed of Chucky, it’s all one cohesive timeline that Mancini remains deeply committed to.

Of course, the most recent film in the Child’s Play franchise was the 2019 remake, to date the only movie in the saga that’s NOT part of Mancini’s vision. Is Mancini’s original incarnation going to spend his final days on TV, while another Chucky will be featured in the movies? It’s a question we’ve been asking ourselves for the last few years, and we may now have an answer.

Speaking with the Scream Dreams Podcast this week, Mancini revealed that he’s in the early stages of development on a potential new installment in the original Chucky film franchise!

“Like anyone in this business, I want to do more things. At this point though if it’s only Chucky I’m totally cool with that,” Mancini explains. “I have other things I want to do. I’m working on a new pilot. I’m also, actually, in the early stages of working on a new Chucky movie.”

Mancini adds, “At this point, my goal is just to keep working.”

Outside of the aforementioned Child’s Play remake, there are to date seven installments in the franchise, with Cult of Chucky (2017) being the original franchise’s most recent film.

For now, Chucky remains a small screen icon. Don’t miss the premiere of Season 3: Part 2 on both USA and SYFY on April 10, with new episodes hitting Peacock the day after they air.
