The second season of the series has been, without a doubt, some of the craziest and most unpredictable television to broadcast in recent years.…

If I had any doubt that last week’s episode couldn’t bring everything home in the season’s penultimate, I sure was wrong. Every time the season seems to top itself, it manages to outdo itself in surprising, “explosive” new ways week after week. It seems like the goal of season 2 has been to showcase Chucky in as many different and new ways as possible, from Buff Chucky to Good Chucky, to Apocalypse Now Chucky, to Exorcist Chucky…the show gets kudos…

Oh, man. They did it. On a show that carelessly walks the line between comedy and horror, and in a season that has hyped up its camp factor to the max, we just had to be reminded just how evil Chucky really is…and boy, is he evil. This episode is certainly a turning-point for the season. The stakes are all laid out clearly now, and as we have our new heroes reuniting with our legacy characters, it’s evident an epic…

What's impressive to me is the series' ability to show us new and ridiculous iterations of the same schtick. By now, after 34 years, seven films, and one and a half television seasons, you'd think we'd have seen it all. The show's strength is its ability to laugh at itself and embrace its ridiculousness.…

This is exactly what I wanted for an official introduction to Glen & Glenda (Lachlan Watson), returning from their ridiculous conception in SEED OF CHUCKY. The show's ability to maintain the franchise's batty plotlines while driving the story forward is incredibly impressive.…

People don’t believe me when I gush at the brilliance of CHUCKY. Even fellow horror fans admit they’ve heard good things but still haven’t watched. So I’ll repeat it: “WATCH CHUCKY!” The show has practically mastered the balance between maintaining the franchise’s lore/cannon and pushing the boundaries of what’s believable within the CHILD’S PLAY universe. Episode 3 is no exception, bringing us an unexpected version of Chucky (still voiced by Brad Dourif) we’ve never seen before. Jake (Zachary Arthur), Devon…

CHUCKY is absolutely my favorite TV show of the season. This week we’re brought up to speed on what our other favorite characters, Tiffany (possessing actress Jennifer Tilly’s body) and Nica, have been up to since the season 1 finale. The answer is as deliciously ridiculous and fun as the rest of the series. Don Mancini, the franchise creator, should be applauded for his ability to world-build and successfully combine the plot points of all its previous entries. Jennifer Tilly…

Move over, ANNABELLE, the original killer doll is back in this week’s premiere of televisions CHUCKY, season 2. Last year, franchise creator Don Mancini brought his monsterpiece to the small screen in a big way. The celebrated series was a hit, turning out to be way better than it had any business being. It followed a handful of high school students in Hackensack, New Jersey, as they were terrorized by the psycho, serial-killing plaything. Starring the voice talents of the…
