Meet Robot Chucky in the First Child’s Play Trailer

My greatest childhood terror is getting a hi-tech makeover. The first trailer for the Child’s Play remake reintroduces the doll of our nightmares with a 21st-century twist.

An overly optimistic advertisement introduces a robotic companion for kids. Obviously, a good idea. The plot is not overly stated here, which is appreciated, but we’re picking up on a single mom trying to cheer up her loner kid who is being bullied. The gift is immediately a little more invasive than anyone expected as it scans the poor boy’s face running a bright laser over his eyes.

Chucky Creator Confirms Child’s Play TV Show

The big screen’s iconic killer doll just found a new medium from which to terrorize audiences, so maybe we will really get to be friends forever. Or at least as long as the show runs.

With horror narratives like Bates Motel, Hannibal, Grimm, and The Strain all finished, it feels like there’s a lull in television horror series.
