‘Living With Chucky’ – Clip from SCREAMBOX Doc Celebrates the Horror Fans That Can’t Get Enough Chucky
Up next from SCREAMBOX is festival hit Living With Chucky, a full-blown Child’s Play documentary that celebrates the entire franchise. The documentary from director Kyra Elise Gardner will first begin streaming on SCREAMBOX and on Digital on April 4, 2023, and today brings a new clip that was uploaded by the official Chucky channel on YouTube.
In this sneak peek clip, filmmakers including Don Mancini and John Waters, as well as actors including Lin Shaye, talk about their love for the horror genre and discuss how the ground-breaking Child’s Play franchise has shaped horror cinema throughout the years.
Long story short, it’s all about the fans. Check out the brand new clip below.
Storming into pop culture in the late 1980s, the three-foot menace known as Chucky proved that Child’s Play was anything but. Written and directed by Kyra Elise Gardner, daughter of legendary special effects artist Tony Gardner, Living With Chucky looks back at the groundbreaking horror franchise. The documentary details the history of the Child’s Play films by the cast and crew, in addition to Gardner’s relationship with the series and the impact it had on her family.
Gardner, who grew up alongside Chucky the killer doll, seeks out the other families surrounding the Child’s Play films as they recount their experiences working on the ongoing franchise and what it means to be a part of the “Chucky” family.
Living With Chucky shows the franchise’s impact on the evolution of horror, which remains prominent at the box office and on our television screens. The 2019 remake of Child’s Play brought in nearly $45 million at the box office, and the second season of the USA series “Chucky” premiered this past October.
Living With Chucky enlists the franchise’s mainstays to deliver behind-the-scenes anecdotes and making-of details. Through Brad Dourif, Fiona Dourif, Jennifer Tilly, Alex Vincent, Christine Elise, Billy Boyd, Don Mancini, franchise producer David Kirschner and more, we gain new perspectives on our favorite movies.
Screambox is available on iOS, Android, Prime Video, YouTube TV, Comcast, and the newly redesigned Screambox.com. Watch Living With Chucky beginning on April 4, 2023!

’28 Years Later’ – Ralph Fiennes, Jodie Comer, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson Join Long Awaited Sequel
Danny Boyle and Alex Garland (Annihilation, Men), the director and writer behind 2002’s hit horror film 28 Days Later, are reteaming for the long-awaited sequel, 28 Years Later. THR reports that the sequel has cast Jodie Comer (Alone in the Dark, “Killing Eve”), Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kraven the Hunter), and Ralph Fiennes (The Menu).
The plan is for Garland to write 28 Years Later and Boyle to direct, with Garland also planning on writing at least one more sequel to the franchise – director Nia DaCosta is currently in talks to helm the second installment.
No word on plot details as of this time, or who Comer, Taylor-Johnson, and Fiennes may play.
28 Days Later received a follow up in 2007 with 28 Weeks Later, which was executive produced by Boyle and Garland but directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo. Now, the pair hope to launch a new trilogy with 28 Years Later. The plan is for Garland to write all three entries, with Boyle helming the first installment.
Boyle and Garland will also produce alongside original producer Andrew Macdonald and Peter Rice, the former head of Fox Searchlight Pictures, the division of one-time studio Twentieth Century Fox that originally backed the British-made movie and its sequel.
The original film starred Cillian Murphy “as a man who wakes up from a coma after a bicycle accident to find England now a desolate, post-apocalyptic collapse, thanks to a virus that turned its victims into raging killers. The man then navigates the landscape, meeting a survivor played by Naomie Harris and a maniacal army major, played by Christopher Eccleston.”
Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer) is on board as executive producer, though the actor isn’t set to appear in the film…yet.
Talks of a third installment in the franchise have been coming and going for the last several years now – at one point, it was going to be titled 28 Months Later – but it looks like this one is finally getting off the ground here in 2024 thanks to this casting news. Stay tuned for more updates soon!
