Creator Don Mancini had shockingly different plans for Chucky in his original script. He discussed them at a recent anniversary screening for the film.
Halloween season is officially upon us, and as usual, the most wonderful time of the year (don’t @ me) brings with it a veritable variety pack of tricks and treats. Treats: Scary movies, fun makeup, awkward parties, so much candy! Tricks: Terrible costumes, ranging from “Sexy Handmaid’s Tale” (no really, someone tried to make that happen) to this abomination inspired by horror movie classic Child’s Play, courtesy of Target.
As long as there have been horror movies, there have been attempts to mix together horror movie characters in crossover films. Who can forget Freddy vs. Jason, the critically reviled — but financially successful — 2003 film that pitted the stars of the Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street franchises against each other? Not to mention those years where it was rumored that Evil Dead’s Ash might get thrown into the mix for a sequel; no matter how many middling reboots these franchises go through, there will always be someone who pitches a project where Hollywood just slams ’em all up together.
Even if the Child's Play movies don't scare you one bit, I'm sure this real life Chucky would scare the living S**t out of you. These pranksters put a man in a Chucky costume and placed him inside the ad promoting a Chucky movie. As folks were waiting for their bus to arrive, Chucky jumped out and all hell broke loose.
