Curse of Chucky
Is it a remake? A soft reboot? A back to the basics scarefest? Kind of all of the same! After the previous two films that traded more in comedy, this one goes for a Gothic, suspense/ horror film- starring Chucky. Brad Dourif's daughter Fiona makes her debut making the Chucky series a true family affair.

Seed of Chucky
We're going full blown comedy and camp this week with "Seed of Chucky"! John Waters, REDman and Jennifer Tilly all join up with Chucky and Tiffany as Glen(da) navigates gender identity in a surprisingly earnest film considering it's release year. Check out the movie that studio heads declared, "Too gay! And too much Jennifer Tilly"!

Bride of Chucky
The "Child's Play" franchise gets a well loved re-invention this week! Jennifer Tilly brings the camp and the heart as Tiffany Valentine, the murderous counterpart to Brad Dourif. Violence and laughs and a little heart- what's not to like!
