I liked Childs play 1-3 but after that with bride and seed went downhill. Campy and different. I heard on here someone saw them drop off hundreds of Chucky dolls in boxes. Can’t wait to walk down that isle. Reboot was much better than I thought would be. 1 vote for Chucky here, will be fun.Just wanted to say hi to my British brother. And also, I must chime in I still HATE Chucky. hahah. Glad you're excited though. There is an ass for every seat.

Well, one
A lot of IPs of recent didn’t have the same draw as Halloween or Stranger Things: The Blumhouse movies, Haunting of Hill House, Killer Klowns from Outer Space, Us, House of 1,000 Corpses, and dare I say… Beetlejuice and Poltergeist. And (possible hot take) I would say Chucky has a bigger following than all of those IPs I just listed.Not a fan of Chucky, but the IP is a major draw. Not in the same level as Halloween or Stranger Things... but that stupid doll sells.
M3GAN is what the Child’s Play reboot should have been. It lost me at the very beginning when a Vietnamese factory worker had the abilities to turn off the safety features. It should have began with an executive that helped launched the Buddi doll getting fired and before they leave, they turn off the safety features of the Buddi doll. Would have made more sense. But the rest of it was terrible too.Shhh. We don't talk about that one.
Very hot take, lol. But everyone is entitled to their opinion. I don’t care for The Weeknd, but I enjoyed the house more than I thought I would. Sometimes even IP’s you aren’t fond of can translate to a fun house.I just personally don’t think that the franchise is great outside of maybe the first movie. I know that’s a bit of a hot take, though.
You’re not the only Chucky fan here I promise. I’m actually surprised at the amount of Chucky hate on this forum.I guess I’m the only Chucky fan on here then lol.
Doesn’t count. That was different creators and completely different characters. There’s a reason that the word “Chucky” doesn’t ever get uttered in the movie.Child's Play (2019 film) - Wikipedia

My problem with Chucky is I’ve always found those movies as campy/goofy vs scary. Like i genuinely think it will be this years “comedy” house. Especially if most of the scares are AAs.
Honestly the problem I have with Child’s Play is the problem that I have with movies like Fight Club, or more recently even shows like Rick and Morty; the central character is misogynistic and a caricature of masculinity and a large number of fans miss that subtext and just like the character. I think the show has done a better job of exploring those themes largely because Mancini is less involved with the writing.I mean we had people in here clamoring for a SCOOBY DOO house, I don't think the issue is campy/goofy vs scary. I just think posters want to be right vs happy.

That’s not to defend Scooby Doo as a house choice, though I would prefer it over Chucky ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They absolutely say "Chucky" in the movie lolDoesn’t count. That was different creators and completely different characters. There’s a reason that the word “Chucky” doesn’t ever get uttered in the movie.
The “Chucky” property continued on even during the release of that.
Isn’t his name Buddi?"DO YOU KNOW MUCH I'VE SACRIFICED?!"
They absolutely say "Chucky" in the movie lol
No his name is Chucky. The doll is a Buddi doll instead of a Good Guy doll.Isn’t his name Buddi?
Eh. I only saw that once and thought that it was fine.No his name is Chucky. The doll is a Buddi doll instead of a Good Guy doll.
I think it’s supposed to be bigfoot this timeExorcist probably happens to fill the 'classic horror movie' spot in the lineup?
I hope the forest house is some type of Yeti ... and that we are building to a Yeti All Stars house in a couple years
