Chucky Melts Down for a Killer New Look in This Week’s Episode of the “Chucky” Series [Images]

The killer doll known as Chucky has had no shortage of iconic looks throughout the years, from getting half of his face sliced off in Child’s Play 3 to being crudely stitched back together for Bride of Chucky. Fans of the franchise often like to collect toys, dolls, and various other pieces of merchandise that depict each look, and they’ve got a brand new one to desire this week.

This week’s episode of Don Mancini’s “Chucky” series, titled “Just Let Go,” melted Chucky down for a terrifying new look, the result of the fire in the previous week’s episode that nearly claimed the life of Chucky’s intended victim, Lexy Cross. But while Lexy emerged from the fire unscathed, Chucky wasn’t so lucky. And he’s now a melted mess of pure nightmare fuel.

Mancini explains, “What I try to do with every movie. and now with the show, is present a new look for Chucky. Some kind of damage or injury that allows us to make him a little creepier.”

Chucky debuted his brand new “melt down” look this week, half of the doll’s face charred and literally dripping towards the ground. Of course, this isn’t the first time Chucky has had a melt down, as the memorable finale of Child’s Play 2 similarly turned him into a pile of goo. And of course, the final act of the original Child’s Play burnt the killer doll to a toasty crisp.

Relive a handful of Chucky’s most memorable looks down below!

New episodes of “Chucky” air Tuesday nights on SYFY and USA.

Comedy Central has given “Golden Axe” a 10-episode order, Deadline reports today.

The voice cast for the animated series from CBS Studios in association with Sony Pictures Television and Original Film includes Matthew Rhys (The Americans)Danny Pudi (Mythic Quest), Lisa Gilroy (Jury Duty), Liam McIntyre (Spartacus) and Carl Tart (Grand Crew).

“Described as a hilarious and loving homage to Sega’s video game series, Golden Axe follows veteran warriors Ax Battler, Tyris Flare and Gilius Thunderhead as they once again battle to save Yuria from the evil giant Death Adder who just won’t seem to stay dead. Fortunately, this time they have the inexperienced and underprepared Hampton Squib on their side.”

Mike McMahan (Star Trek: Lower Decks) and Joe Chandler (American Dad!) will co-write the first episode and executive produce the series, with Chandler serving as showrunner.

The original Golden Axe video game was released in 1989, followed by sequels in 1991, 1992 and 1993. The series got a modern day upgrade with Golden Axe: Beast Rider in 2008.
