Check out some new Curse of Chucky behind-the-scenes pics!
Master of Puppets Don Mancini, the man behind Chucky, was kind enough to share a few set pics on his Facebook page from his latest film, CURSE OF CHUCKY . As you can see, we've gotten another look at the new and improved Chucky, as well as his co-star Fiona Dourif.
In addition, Jennifer Tilly posted the below photo of a Chucky line-up on her Twitter page ; I'm not positive if this is a new pic or something she found elsewhere. She accompanied the image with this caption"How many killer dolls does it take to film “Curse of Chucky?” Find out when the film’s released on September 24, 2013!"
So is Ms. Tilly in CURSE OF CHUCKY after all? Guess we'll have to wait until the fall to find out.
Nica (Fiona Dourif) is grieving over the gruesome suicide of her mother when her domineering older sister Barb (Danielle Bisutti) arrives with her young family in tow to help settle their mother’s affairs. As the sisters butt heads over Nica’s plans for the future, Barb’s young daughter comforts herself with a grinning, red-haired talking doll named Chucky (voiced again by Brad Dourif) that recently arrived mysteriously in the mail. But as a string of brutal murders begins to terrorize the household, Nica suspects the doll may hold the key to the bloodshed. What she doesn’t know is that Chucky has a personal score to settle. He’s determined to finish a job he started more than 20 years earlier, and this time he’s going to see it through to the bloody and shocking end.

About Cult of Chucky:
Cult of Chucky, an all-new spellbinding chapter of the Child’s Play thriller franchise, began principal photography in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, on January 9, 2017. The seventh film in the blockbuster series will be released in a bone-chilling Unrated Version on Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital HD in fall 2017 — just in time for Halloween. Packed with the franchise’s signature blend of horror and demented humor, Cult of Chucky is the latest production from Universal 1440 Entertainment, a production entity of Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.
“It’s hard to believe that it’s been nearly 30 years since Chucky first terrified moviegoers in Child’s Play,” said Glenn Ross, General Manager and Executive Vice President, Universal 1440 Entertainment. “Since then the films have generated millions in worldwide box office revenue. Now Chucky’s back with more scores to settle in his trademark twisted style, and you can bet he won’t stop until he gets his revenge.”
Fiona Dourif (Curse of Chucky) returns as Nica, the wheelchair-bound heroine framed by Chucky for the bloody murders of her entire family. She’s joined by franchise veterans Alex Vincent (Child’s Play, Child’s Play 2) and Jennifer Tilly (Monsters, Inc., Bride of Chucky), with Brad Dourif (The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest) once again providing the eerie, unnerving voice of the demon doll possessed by the spirit of a maniacal serial killer.
Don Mancini, writer of the Child’s Play franchise, is the executive producer of the new film, which he also directs from his original script. Longtime franchise producer David Kirschner (The Pagemaster, Frailty) is joined this time by Ogden Gavanski (Warm Bodies, Immortals). The production team includes special-effects guru and associate producer Tony Gardner (Zombieland, Curse of Chucky), director of photography Michael Marshall (“Killjoys”), production designer Craig Sandells (Mother’s Day), and costume designer Patricia J. Henderson (ATM).
Synopsis:
Confined to an asylum for the criminally insane for the past four years, Nica Pierce (Fiona Dourif) is erroneously convinced that she, not Chucky, murdered her entire family. But when her psychiatrist introduces a new therapeutic “tool” to facilitate his patients’ group sessions — an all-too-familiar “Good Guy” doll with an innocently smiling face — a string of grisly deaths begins to plague the asylum, and Nica starts to wonder if maybe she isn’t crazy after all.
Andy Barclay (Alex Vincent), Chucky’s now grown-up nemesis from the original Child’s Play, races to Nica’s aid. But to save her, he’ll have to get past Tiffany (Oscar nominee Jennifer Tilly), Chucky’s long-ago bride, who will do anything, no matter how deadly or depraved, to help her beloved devil doll.

Reviews for "Unlocking the Power of Luminary: A Guide to Magical Self-Care Rituals"
1. Jane Doe - 2/5 - I found "Luminary a magical guide to self care" to be a bit too outlandish and far-fetched for my taste. The author seemed to rely heavily on mystical concepts and spiritualist practices, which I personally don't connect with. While I appreciate the intention behind promoting self-care, I couldn't relate to the content and felt like it lacked practicality. Additionally, I found some of the advice given to be contradictory and confusing. Overall, this book just wasn't for me.
2. John Smith - 2/5 - I was excited to dive into "Luminary a magical guide to self-care," but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The book seemed more focused on creating an ethereal, whimsical experience rather than providing tangible tools for self-care. I found it hard to follow and understand the author's vision, as they often delved into vague concepts without providing clear explanations or examples. The language used was overly flowery and poetic, making it difficult to extract any practical guidance. If you're looking for a straightforward and grounded approach to self-care, this might not be the book for you.
3. Emily Johnson - 3/5 - While "Luminary a magical guide to self-care" had some interesting ideas, I felt that it lacked depth and substance. The book was filled with enchanting illustrations and beautiful storytelling, but when it came to providing practical steps or techniques for self-care, it fell short. The author's focus on connecting with the mystical and the divine might appeal to some readers, but for me, it felt too abstract and disconnected from reality. I was hoping for more actionable advice and tangible strategies that I could incorporate into my daily life. Overall, I found "Luminary" to be a bit too whimsical and light on substance.
