There’s something in horrors that the genre keeps attracting more and more viewers everyday. Despite all the spooky and creepy stuff, all the screams and psycho scenes, we can say for sure that it’s one of the most popular genres nowadays.
But what the audience appreciates even more is how horrors can be made… fun. Horror comedies have been in trend for a long time now, but they got really upscaled when the world was introduced to Chucky.
In 2021, audiences saw the new show that was a spinoff of the Child's Play movie series created by Don Mancini. It premiered in October 2021 on Syfy and USA Network, and there have already been 3 seasons of the show, which is now as popular as the movie franchise.

Chucky season 3 just aired its finale last night – but when it comes to genre icons like Chucky, horror fans usually start asking “When is the next sequel coming?” as soon as they finish watching the most recent one… or in this case, they’re asking, “When is the next season coming?” or “Is there going to be another season at all?” Series creator Don Mancini recently said that he has already pitched the idea of Chucky season 4, but it hasn’t been officially ordered yet. But if fans want to show their support for the idea of the show being renewed, there is a way they can let the higher-ups know they want to see Chucky season 4. That came in the final moments of the finale, when Chucky took a moment to announce that he’s running for “a fourth consecutive term” and donations can be made by calling 1-...

Chucky season 3 had to be split in half due to the writers and actors strikes, with the first four episodes (read our review Here) airing on Syfy and USA Network (as well as the Peacock streaming service) back in October. Production resumed at the end of November, and the second half of the season will begin airing on April 10th – so now that we’re closing in on the end of season 3, series creator Don Mancini is, of course, fielding questions about the possibility of a fourth season. During an interview with The Direct, Mancini confirmed that season 4 has already been pitched!
When the subject of season 4 came up, Mancini said, “There’s very little I can say about that. I can’t tell you my idea for Season 4, but I’m really excited about it. I already pitched it to the network. So fingers crossed because it’s something I really like to do.

The one thing that has kept Chucky alive over the years isn’t voodoo magic but rather the endless ideas of Don Mancini, who consistently keeps the franchise fresh by placing Chucky into wildly unexpected new situations. We’re now three seasons deep into Mancini’s “Chucky” television series, which currently sees the killer doll rampaging through the White House.
What’s next for Chucky? Mancini recently teased that he’s in the early stages of development on a new movie, but that doesn’t mean he’s out of ideas for the small screen slasher series.
Speaking with The Direct, Mancini makes it clear that “Chucky” Season 4 has not yet been ordered by USA/Syfy, but he’s hopeful and excited about the idea he’s already conjured up.

The back half of Don Mancini’s “Chucky“ Season 3 has finally arrived, which means the metaphorical training wheels are off. The first half of the season introduced new slaying grounds for the killer Good Guy doll, thrusting Chucky into the White House with its complicated tenants. Episode 5, “Death Becomes Her,” wastes no time addressing Episode 4’s massive dangling threads while barreling toward what’s sure to be an unpredictable battle for control.
The Halloween bloodbath at the end of Episode 4 did poor President James Collins (Devon Sawa) no favors, both for his career and declining mental health. Mistaking a disguised Chucky (Brad Dourif) for his deceased son Joseph has left him deeply troubled and convinced he’s haunted. First Lady Charlotte Collins (Lara Jean Chorostecki) is left to pick up the pieces while navigating her guilt, which is made worse by tricky CIA agent Warren Pryce (Gil Bellows).

When George Martin told Paul McCartney that they should add a double string quartet to “Eleanor Rigby,” he was wary. He didn’t necessarily want that type of sound. Eventually, though, he agreed, so long as they followed his vision for the song. This particular vision horrified the string musicians. A Beatles audio engineer shared how they reacted and how they finally achieved the finished product.
Paul McCartney had a specific vision for the strings on ‘Eleanor Rigby’
McCartney initially played “Eleanor Rigby” on the acoustic guitar. When producer George Martin suggested they get a double string quartet, McCartney hesitantly agreed. He insisted that they achieve a “really biting” sound with the strings, though. This request meant that audio engineer Geoff Emerick had to get creative in the studio.
“String quartets were traditionally recorded with just one or two microphones, placed high, several feet up in the air so that...

Riyadh, Aug 28 (Ians) Roberto Mancini has been appointed as the head coach of the Saudi Arabian national football team, the Saudi Arabia Football Federation confirmed on Monday, days after the Italian resigned from the Azzurri.
It is reported that the 58-year-old has signed a four-year contract which is worth 25 million euros per year, reports Xinhua.
“I am excited to announce that I am joining the Saudi Arabia Football Federation as Head Coach of the National Team,” wrote Mancini on social media.
“I am delighted and honored to have been selected for such a prestigious role, as a sign of appreciation and recognition for all the work done during these years. I wish to thank the President Yasser Al Misehal,” he added.
Having coached Lazio, Inter Milan, Manchester City and many other clubs, Mancini took over the Azzurri in 2018 and helped them win the Euro 2020 championship. But Italy failed to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Budapest (Hungary), June 1 (Ians) Top Spanish club Sevilla made a remarkable comeback to clinch the Europa League title, with goalkeeper Bono thwarting two attempts to ensure a 4-1 victory in the penalty shootout at the Puskas Arena in Budapest on Thursday.
The opening period proved challenging for both sides, marked by numerous fouls that disrupted the rhythm of the match.
The first genuine scoring opportunity came 12 minutes into the match when Roma’s Leonardo Spinazzola tested Sevilla’s goalkeeper with a shot from the edge of the penalty area, reports Xinhua.
Despite being Europa League record winners, Sevilla struggled to penetrate Roma’s staunch defense.
Roma eventually broke the deadlock when Gianluca Mancini’s through ball, following a counterattack, allowed Paulo Dybala to strike past Bono into the far post corner, 35 minutes into the game.
Sevilla rebounded well and nearly levelled the score before the break, but Fernando’s header...

Documentary profile of the interconnections behind the past and current makers of the long-running franchise is bit of a love-in
“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 franchise’s gleefully perverse sense of fun, but the truth is this love-in features too much filler.

Filmmaker Kyra Elise Gardner’s examination of the Child’s Play franchise comes from a personal place in Living with Chucky, debuting on Screambox and Digital on April 4, 2023.
Kyra Elise Gardner is the daughter of Tony Gardner, one of the most prominent and integral special effects artists in the “Chucky” franchise. For the Gardners, Chucky is family.
And the Chucky films, well, they’re often about family as well.
The filmmaker’s familial relationship with the killer Good Guy doll, voiced by Brad Dourif, fittingly coincided with the horror icon unexpectedly finding himself a family in Bride of Chucky. Bride, penned by Don Mancini and directed by Ronny Yu, gave series protagonist Andy Barclay (Alex Vincent) a much-needed rest and instead introduced franchise mainstay Tiffany Valentine (Jennifer Tilly), opening up new layers to Chucky in the process.
