Life changes abound for pretty much everyone in the penultimate episode of Chucky’s first season. That’s right, I said first as just the other day Chucky was renewed for another season of murder and mayhem. If anyone had told Don Mancini and Brad Dourif in 1988 that 33 years later they’d soon be working on [...]

After last week’s series low, Chucky course corrects with an eventful episode full of returning characters from the films, juicy family drama, relationship woes, and a couple deaths that should have quite the lasting impacts as we move forward. Previously on Chucky. Before continuing I have to acknowledge something that has to do with the [...]

I'm sorry to say it, but "Little Little Lies" isn't great.

How much does a pretty great ending make up for an otherwise okay episode? I suppose the fact that everything leading up to Chucky maniacally laughing as flames crept over a house of partying teenagers was fairly standard probably helped it feel so unexpected. Still, that doesn’t retroactively make this my favorite one yet. Previously [...]

Maybe it’s because I both eat apples regularly & have loved Halloween for decades, but the razor blade apples unsettle me more than any other bloody mess Chucky has served up so far. The woman who bit into that apple (which I’d say was a pretty dumb thing to do) seemed to take it rather [...]

How can this be so entertaining? I know I’m not alone in still finding Chucky, of course voiced by the iconic Brad Dourif, amusing as ever--even into his fifth decade of existence. What is it about this foul-mouthed killer doll that has such staying power? Based on “Death By Misadventure,” the premiere episode of SyFy’s [...]
