While we continue waiting for Don Mancini‘s “Chucky” television series, coming to SYFY and USA this Fall, first up SYFY is celebrating the franchise with a special marathon this week.

In honor of Pride Month, SYFY will be airing the all-day “The Pride of Chucky” Marathon on Wednesday, June 9, calling attention to the franchise’s LGBTQ+ elements.

“Starting with Bride of Chucky, I started to deliberately inject some LGBTQ elements into the franchise,” Mancini explains. “As a gay guy, it’s something that’s increasingly important to me.”

Here’s the full “Pride of Chucky” schedule…

  • 8am EST – Child’s Play 2
  • 9:58am EST – Child’s Play 3
  • 12pm EST – Bride of Chucky
  • 2:02pm EST – Seed of Chucky
  • 4pm EST – Curse of Chucky
  • 6pm EST – Cult of Chucky
  • 8pm EST – Child’s Play 2
  • 9:58pm EST – Child’s Play 3
  • 12am EST – Bride of Chucky
  • 2:02am EST – Seed of Chucky

The only film from the original franchise that’s not part of the marathon is director Tom Holland’s original classic, which is of course owned by MGM rather than Universal Pictures.

Writer in the horror community since 2008. Editor in Chief of Bloody Disgusting. Owns Eli Roth's prop corpse from Piranha 3D. Has four awesome cats. Still plays with toys.

Dev Patel’s ‘Monkey Man’ Is Now Available to Watch at Home!

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.
