With contributions from cast, crew, critics, historians, and experts, as well as clips, photographs, archival documents, behind-the-scenes footage, and more, experience the making-of story that proves you can't keep a good guy down in a series of films that have created an icon.
Child's Play as a franchise consists of seven films and one three-season television show. All of them feature the horror icon Chucky, a murderous Good Guy doll imbued with the spirit of serial killer Charles Lee Ray. Five of the films in the franchise received theatrical releases, with the other two debuting on disc and streaming formats. The three-season television show aired on SyFy and USA networks as a co-production. Chucky has been voiced in every incarnation in this timeline of the franchise by Brad Dourif. In 2019, a franchise reboot not involving series creator Don Mancini was attempted, with Chucky voiced by Mark Hamill. It did not work.
Doc Of Chucky debuts on Shudder on November 1st, just missing spooky season, sadly.
