Multiple Chuckies?! It almost happened, and Child’s Play creator Don Mancini explains how in the latest episode of The Chucky Files, an in-depth look at 1991’s Child’s Play 3… a.k.a. “the one at military school.” Don Mancini reveals how the idea came about, why the paintball sequence almost became a total bloodbath and why he’s less serious about the voodoo mythology than the film’s fans.
With the 25th anniversary of Child’s Play upon us, and the release of the sixth film of the franchise as part of a big Chucky: The Complete Collection Blu-ray box set, we thought it was the perfect time to sit Don Mancini down for a series of extended interviews about each film in the franchise, and answer all our biggest questions about Chucky. Join The B-Movies Podcast host William “Bibbs” Bibbiani as he interrogates Don Mancini about every film in the Child’s Play series. We’re calling it The Chucky Files.
Tomorrow, Don Mancini will explain how Bride of Chucky evolved from the Scream franchise, go into detail about puppet sex and wax rhapsodic about Jennifer Tilly. We’ll see you there when The Chucky Files continue! Follow William Bibbiani on Twitter at @WilliamBibbiani, Don Mancini at @RealDonMancini, and subscribe to the weekly B-Movies Podcast on iTunes.
