Child’s Play: Scream Factory announces the bonus features on their 4K UHD releases

https://youtu.be/BofJHHK1VNE

Last month, Scream Factory announced that they will be bringing the 1988 classic Child’s Play and its first two sequels, 1990’s Child’s Play 2 and 1991’s Child’s Play 3, to 4K UHD on August 16th, and they started accepting pre-orders at THIS LINK. Now they have unveiled the full list of the bonus features that will be found on these discs! You can see the list below.

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.
