Fans can pre-order the films individually, with each movie coming with an exclusive poster, or they can pre-order all of the movies in bundles. In one bundle you can get the three movies with their slipcovers and posters, plus additional posters and additional slipcovers for both Child’s Play 2 and Child’s Play 3. Another bundle offers all of those items, plus “an exclusive, limited edition 5 ½” tall “Charred Chucky” action figure by NECA (limited to 4,000 units, this will ship separately from the rest of your order in late 2022”. And in another bundle you get all of those items, plus an enamel pin and postcard set.
Scream Factory was selling the Charred Chucky action figure on its own for $39.99, but all of the solo figures have already sold out.
Directed by Tom Holland from a script he crafted with Don Mancini and John Lafia, the original Child’s Play has the following synopsis:
The “chills come thick and fast” (Los Angeles Times) in this riveting, jolt-a-minute thriller about an innocent-looking doll inhabited by the soul of a serial killer who refused to die. Only six-year-old Andy realizes that Chucky is responsible for a spate of gruesome murders, including that of his unsuspecting babysitter. But the real terror takes hold when the deranged doll becomes determined to transfer his evil spirit to a living human being… Andy!
John Lafia directed Child’s Play 2 from a screenplay by Don Mancini, telling the following story:
The notorious killer doll with the satanic smile comes back to life in this new chapter depicting the terrifying struggle between young Andy Barclay and the demonic doll attempting to possess his soul. Despite being roasted to a crisp in his last escapade, Chucky rises from the ashes after being reconstructed by a toy factory to dispel the negative publicity surrounding the doll. Back in one piece, Chucky tracks his prey to a foster home where the chase begins again in this fiendishly clever sequel to the enormously popular original.
Child’s Play 3 was directed by Jack Bender and written by Don Mancini. That one has the following synopsis:
Eight years after seemingly destroying the killer doll, Andy Barclay, turns 16 and is placed in a military school. Meanwhile, the greedy president of Play Pals Toy Company decides to resurrect the popular Good Guys doll line, confident that the bad publicity is forgotten. As the assembly line recreates the first doll from a mass of melted plastic, the spirit of Chucky returns to renew his quest and seek revenge on Andy. Once again, it’s up to Andy to stop the unrelenting killer in this fast-paced and frightening thriller.
