The first teaser for Don Mancini’s Chucky collection is simply 20 seconds lengthy, forward of a full trailer set to debut subsequent week throughout Comic-Con@Home. But it provides us all the pieces we would like, specifically: the shining return of the O.G. Chucky (together with his iconic snigger reminding us Brad Dourif is again voicing the character), who seems good as new and wastes no time in arming himself with the closest butcher knife.

This is precisely why you ought to be very cautious about selecting up random creepy dolls at storage gross sales! But there’s extra to the story than that, because it seems. While you don’t get an excessive amount of concerning the plot from the temporary clip under, Mancini spoke extra about Chucky in a brand new interview with Entertainment Weekly. “The main character is a 14-year-old gay boy who’s bullied and sort of lost after the recent death of his mother,” Mancini advised EW. “He’s a young artist [making] sculptures with doll parts.

So we begin the series introducing our new story, our new milieu, and then we start to bring the veteran characters into the story, and it all comes together for a big showdown.”
