Image: Blumhouse/UniversalA full year after Halloween Ends had come out and brought the reboot trilogy to a close, Miramax snagged the TV rights for the iconic slasher franchise. You wouldn’t think this series would ever leave the TV space, but that’s apparently what it’s doing, and it’ll have its own space where Michael Myers can do his thing. (Murder. That thing is lots of murders.)Will We See More of Uhura's Relationship with Spock? | io9 InterviewTalking to Deadline a few days ago, Miramax’s worldwide TV head Marc…

Image: PeacockIf we’re being honest, put Natasha Lyonne in anything and she’s likely to win us over. Her dry humor, raspy voice, and impeccable confidence almost always create a memorable character. But in the hands of murder mystery guru Rian Johnson on Poker Face, Charlie becomes something more. She’s on the run, so she’s always cautious and looking over her shoulder. And yet, because she has the power to tell if a person is lying or not, she finds that she has to do good. Has to get to the bottom of the case. Has to…

Dead by Daylight continues its trend of adding well-known movie and video game horror villains to its increasing roster. Now, Child’s Play is the latest franchise to be incorporated, as developer Behaviour Interactive brings the killer doll Chucky to the game. A new trailer for the patch shows the pint-sized terror doing what he does best: stabbing people to death. Chucky comes with two modes, Normal and Hidey-Ho, the latter of which makes him temporarily undetectable. He’s also in a fixed third-person camera view due to…

“Ade due Damballa, give me the power I beg of you.” Or at least that’s what Chucky says. He says it a lot. Usually, it’s the preface to some supernatural hijinks – transferring his soul into a Good Guy doll or trying and failing to take over the body of a frightened child actor. The chant has become a regular staple of the franchise. It must have come from somewhere, right? It did, kind of – the part about Damballa, especially. Longtime fans of the Child’s Play movies will know that Charles Lee Ray and his on-again,…

Since 1988, Chucky has been asking us if we want to play.  So what have we been waiting for? Sure, societal norms took a while to get out of their own way. Concerns over violence in video games certainly would have made a solid Child’s Play adaptation a tough nut to crack in the ‘90s, but it’s a resilient franchise with a ton of brand recognition. Surely there have been tie-in games in the years since – great games. Games worth celebrating. And so we turn our attention to every Chucky video game ever made, in order of…

“The family that slays together stays together” finishes this blow-by-blow retrospective of the Child’s Play/Chucky franchise, and it’s certainly impossible to contest that. Not only does the homicide-happy doll gain his own family during the course of the seven films, but actor Brad Dourif – who voiced him – has been succeeded by daughter Fiona as the head of proceedings, and this documentary is directed by Kyra Elise Gardner, daughter of current head puppeteer Tony Gardner. The close-knit ethos might well explain the…
