Chucky and Child's Play franchise creator Don Mancini has shared a hopeful response about the future of the franchise following the recent Syfy show's cancellation. Chucky season 4 was confirmed not to be happening in September 2024, leaving the horror comedy series on a cliffhanger for its many established characters. However, Mancini previously expressed hope in continuing the show to some extent, given the series is still canon to the overarching franchise. At the time, though, it was unclear if this was going to happen.

Now, Mancini has shared a hopeful post about Chucky's future, stating that continuity has always been important to the franchise. Because of this, he said, the storyline for the series that was cut short at the end of Chucky season 3 will be resolved at some point in the franchise's future. Check out what Mancini had to say below:

The Chucky franchise has always prioritized story continuity, across different media,...

Even though they include sparkling vampires and a problematic romance, the horrifying Twilight baby remains the most infamous shock of the franchise. Adapted from the final Stephanie Meyer's novel of the book series, Breaking Dawn was split into two parts. By this point in the saga, Bell is a vampire, she and Edward are a couple, and they have a child on the way. Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2 begins after Bella gives birth to a half-mortal half-vampire baby, Renesemee.

Renesmees introduction was one to remember. It wasn't because Bella was meeting her daughter for the first time, but because the movie used a CGI baby instead of a real one. Renesmee Cullen was not a normal child. As a half-mortal half-vampire being, the Twilight baby grew rapidly and could speak seven days after she was born. The crew of Breaking Dawn knew...

Chucky season 4 would have extended the Childs Play TV show even further, but the Syfy original series has been given the ax after only three seasons. Chucky managed an impressive three seasons since it debuted in 2021, outlasting many small-screen interpretations of horror movies from decades gone. The plot focuses on Chucky, played once again by Brad Dourif, as he continues to leave a trail of mayhem across America.

The introduction of characters like Zachary Arthurs Jake Wheeler helped ground the world of Childs Play, and also meant that the audience for Chucky season 4 was anticipating another chapter of the show for more than just franchise nostalgia. The Syfy show found a footing all its own and counted many fans who discovered the original Childs Play movies retroactively thanks to the show.

The following contains spoilers for Chucky season 3, episode 8

The Chucky season 3 finale featured a surprising turn of events for Tiffany. Jennifer Tilly expressed mixed feelings about Tiffany's fate in the last episode of season 3. Tilly shared that she is relieved about how things turned out for Tiffany, and is excited to see what Don Mancini has in store next.

Tiffany actor Jennifer Tilly addresses the character's shocking fate in the Chucky season 3 finale. The latest episode of SyFy and USAs small screen Childs Play franchise entry climaxed in dramatic fashion, as the titular killer doll's bride Tiffany finally left Jennifer Tilly, entering a new doll body created for her by dollmaker Wendell Wilkins (John Waters). Tiffanys return to doll form marked the end of a long-running series plotline, in which the actor Tilly was possessed by the character she voiced, and may have killed off the shows fictionalized version of Tilly for good.

Mentions of murder, sexual abuse, and torture

Horror movies are often banned in countries due to their disturbing content, such as extreme torture, sexual abuse, and graphic violence. The Bunny Game, Grotesque, Salò, and The Human Centipede 2 are examples of banned horror movies because of their deeply disturbing and graphic scenes. Cannibal Holocaust and A Serbian Film are some of the most controversial horror movies ever made, known for their explicit and disturbing depictions of violence and sexual content.

It's rare but banned horror movies happen for being too disturbing and for portraying scenes that offend the majority of viewers. Horror movies are meant to be a safe way for the audience to explore a variety of fears, but some were too disturbing and ended up being banned in different countries. While the horror genre has branched out to different subgenres and styles, there have been various horror projects...

Our look at underappreciated films of the 80s continues, as we head back to 1988...

Either in terms of ticket sales or critical acclaim, 1988 was dominated by the likes of Rain Man, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Coming To America. It was the year Bruce Willis made the jump from TV to action star with Die Hard, and became a star in the process.

It was the year Leslie Nielsen made his own jump from the small to silver screen with Police Squad spin-off The Naked Gun, which sparked a hugely popular franchise of its own. Elsewhere, the eccentric Tim Burton scored one of the biggest hits of the year with Beetlejuice, the success of which would result in the birth of Batman a year later. And then there was Tom Cruise, who managed to make a drama about a student-turned-barman into a $170m hit, back when $170m was still an...

James Mason (l.) and Beau Bridges star in Child's Play.

Based on the stage play by Robert Marasco, the 1972 drama-mystery Child’s Play is lesser-known film directed by the great Sidney Lumet (Network, 12 Angry Men).

A young teacher, Paul Reis (Beau Bridges, The Descendants) arrives at an exclusive Catholic boy’s school that he had attended as young man, where he discovers that everything at the school is not quite as staid, tranquil and harmless as it seems. Reis suspects that one of the older professors in responsible for the school’s increasing incidents of cult-like violence and brutality. Could it be Joe Dobbs (Robert Preston, Victor/Victoria), the easy-going, popular English instructor? Or perhaps Jerome Malley (James Mason, Bigger Than Life), the widely disliked and feared Latin and Greek teacher? Or maybe even someone else…?

Screenwriter Leon Prochnik adapted Marasco’s play,...

It has been a year since Sidney Lumet passed away on April 9, 2011. Here is our retrospective on the legendary filmmaker to honor his memory. Originally published April 15, 2011.

Almost a week after the fact, we, like everyone that loves film, are still mourning the passing of the great American master Sidney Lumet, one of the true titans of cinema.

Lumet was never fancy. He never needed to be, as a master of blocking, economic camera movements and framing that empowered the emotion and or exact punctuation of a particular scene. First and foremost, as you’ve likely heard ad nauseum -- but hell, it’s true -- Lumet was a storyteller, and one that preferred his beloved New York to soundstages (though let's not romanticize it too much, he did his fair share of work on studio film sets too as most TV journeyman and early studio filmmakers did).

His directing career stretched well over 50 years,...
