Thommy Hutson, the producer behind comprehensive horror documentaries Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy and Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History of Friday the 13th, is back, this time helming Doc of Chucky, a documentary exploring the killer doll’s franchise and legacy.
Doc of Chucky is an upcoming Shudder Original that will debut on the streaming service on November 1.
Bloody Disgusting can exclusively reveal the official poster for Doc of Chucky below.
The new comprehensive documentary “tells the story of the cult horror empire through interviews with cast, crew, and horror icons such as Don Mancini, Brad Dourif, Jennifer Tilly, Catherine Hicks, Chris Sarandon, John Waters, Fiona Dourif, Perrey Reeves, Gerrit Graham, David Kirschner, and dozens more. Directed by Thommy Hutson (the producer of documentaries Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy and Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History of Friday the 13th), this is the ultimate account of the Child’s Play film franchise, and Chucky with clips, photographs, archival documents, behind-the-scenes footage, and more.”
Considering Hutson’s previous work, we can definitely expect Doc of Chucky to be thorough in its examination of the franchise.
Hutson said in a statement, “After exploring the terrifying and fascinating worlds of A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Scream, and Return of the Living Dead, it felt like a natural progression to explore Chucky’s iconic and enduring legacy. Doc of Chucky is truly a love letter to a film franchise and character that’s been scaring, thrilling, and making us laugh for decades. It was also a privilege to meet and talk to so many wonderful cast and crew who helped bring to life the incredible story—across seven films—that Don Mancini and David Kirschner started 36 years ago. I think it’s safe to say viewers will learn why, in the most entertaining way possible, you really can’t keep a good guy down!”
With Doc of Chucky arriving on Shudder next month, look for a trailer to arrive soon.
