“Chucky”: Photos from the Wild and Crazy Season Finale, Including a Legacy Character’s Surprise Return! [Images]
I don’t know why we’re avoiding spoilers at this point, but the first season of “Chucky” ended with the return of one of horror’s most beloved characters – the iconic Tiffany doll!
At the end of Seed of Chucky, Tiffany transferred her soul into the body of Jennifer Tilly, a clever twist being that the voice of the doll was performed by the actress. After a handful of sequels and a full-blown Syfy series, Tiffany’s soul has somehow returned to the doll from which it came (I suppose she split it into pieces as did Chucky.)
In the final moments of “An Affair to Dismember”, Child’s Play 1-3‘s Andy Barclay (Alex Vincent) attempts to highjack a truck that’s filled with Good Guy Dolls, all possessed with the soul of serial killer Charles Lee Ray (Brad Dourif). Tiffany pops out with a gun in hand, taking control of the situation and also promising viewers an even more eventful second season jam-packed with legacy characters. Tiffany, however, is as iconic as they come, albeit the practically guaranteed return of Glen/da is more than welcomed.

The best part about engaging with collaborative genre fiction on the internet is that anyone can get in on the action, with worldwide accessibility often resulting in absurd story beats that wouldn’t be possible if any single person was responsible for the entire narrative. And while Kane Parsons’ Backrooms film is definitely the young filmmaker’s own unique take on the infamous creepypasta, it’s fun to see other creators join the Backrooms sandbox now that the big screen adaptation is getting ready for a record-shattering opening weekend.
As if cleverly timed releases like Puppet Combo’s The Backrooms game weren’t enough (not to mention that Scary Movie poster poking fun at Parsons’ flick), McDonald’s official social media accounts have now released an analog horror video of their own celebrating the liminal terrors of the McRooms – complete with a familiar purple surprise at the end of the footage.
While it’s funny enough to see the world’s most recognizable Fast Food giant engage with internet-borne Found Footage thrills seemingly out of the blue, the video is actually referencing a long-running gag among the Backrooms fandom where creators jokingly talk about there being a fully functional McDonald’s restaurant hidden somewhere in level 0 of the infamous liminal labyrinth.
Now, would it be too much to hope for a moist-carpet-flavored McShake to tie in with the film?
Backrooms is now playing only in theaters from A24.
