Up next from SCREAMBOX is festival hit Living With Chucky, a full-blown Child’s Play documentary that celebrates the entire franchise. The documentary from director Kyra Elise Gardner will first begin streaming on SCREAMBOX and on Digital on April 4, 2023, and today brings a new clip that was uploaded by the official Chucky channel on YouTube.
In this sneak peek clip, filmmakers including Don Mancini and John Waters, as well as actors including Lin Shaye, talk about their love for the horror genre and discuss how the ground-breaking Child’s Play franchise has shaped horror cinema throughout the years.
Long story short, it’s all about the fans. Check out the brand new clip below.
Storming into pop culture in the late 1980s, the three-foot menace known as Chucky proved that Child’s Play was anything but. Written and directed by Kyra Elise Gardner, daughter of legendary special effects artist Tony Gardner, Living With Chucky looks back at the groundbreaking horror franchise. The documentary details the history of the Child’s Play films by the cast and crew, in addition to Gardner’s relationship with the series and the impact it had on her family.
Gardner, who grew up alongside Chucky the killer doll, seeks out the other families surrounding the Child’s Play films as they recount their experiences working on the ongoing franchise and what it means to be a part of the “Chucky” family.
Living With Chucky shows the franchise’s impact on the evolution of horror, which remains prominent at the box office and on our television screens. The 2019 remake of Child’s Play brought in nearly $45 million at the box office, and the second season of the USA series “Chucky” premiered this past October.
Living With Chucky enlists the franchise’s mainstays to deliver behind-the-scenes anecdotes and making-of details. Through Brad Dourif, Fiona Dourif, Jennifer Tilly, Alex Vincent, Christine Elise, Billy Boyd, Don Mancini, franchise producer David Kirschner and more, we gain new perspectives on our favorite movies.
Screambox is available on iOS, Android, Prime Video, YouTube TV, Comcast, and the newly redesigned Screambox.com. Watch Living With Chucky beginning on April 4, 2023!
