Chucky returns to our screens in just a few weeks for his very own self-titled TV series. The first small-screen spinoff of the Child’s Play franchise, Chucky promises to take the character back to basics, removing much of the campy humor from the later films and restoring the emphasis on horror. At the same time, it’s also reinventing the wheel a little and giving the series a teen-oriented slant. What the show is going for is effectively displayed in this first clip from the premiere episode, which is hitting Syfy in October.

The clip begins with introverted teen Jake (Zachary Arthur) as he’s tasked with dissecting a frog in class. Unfortunately for Jake, blood makes him squeamish — so it’s kind of awkward that he’s brought a Good Guy possessed by a serial killer to school with him. When Jake goes faint after making an incision into the frog’s abdomen, he puts the scalpel in front of the smiling Chucky doll. But when he looks back, he sees the scalpel impaled in the frog’s carcass which has now been gutted.

Though we don’t hear him speak in this sneak peek, Brad Dourif is once again returning as the voice of Charles Lee Ray. What’s more, he’s joined by various other franchise favorites including Jennifer Tilly as Tiffany Valentine, real-life daughter Fiona Dourif as Nica Pierce and Alex Vincent as Andy Barclay. Meanwhile, Final Destination‘s Devon Sawa is also in the cast in a dual role as Jake’s dad and his twin brother.

Once again, creator Don Mancini is behind the camera, writing and directing the pilot episode. He’s previously promised that Chucky will deliver all the scares and laughs fans will be hoping for, as well as offering up a deeper emotional core than they might be expecting through Jake’s storyline. Remember, we’ll also be getting Chucky’s childhood explored at last as we learn what turned him into a killer in the first place.

Chucky debuts on Syfy and USA Network on October 12th.

This Halloween, Netflix is bringing the horror, as is promised in the lineup for films and tv coming to the streaming service this October. There are enough spooks, haunts, and vampire flicks to go around, and one of them is the new Netflix original, Night Teeth.

Night Teeth, coming to Netflix on October 20th, stars Debbie Ryan, Megan Fox, and Lucy Fry alongside Jorge Lendeborg Jr and Alfie Allen. The trailer shows the movie is going to be a sexy play on the whole vampires lurking in the shadows thing.

The plot synopsis, as reported by Bloody Disgusting, for the blood-bath is as follows.

“To earn some extra cash, quirky college student Benny (Lendeborg, Jr.) moonlights as a chauffeur for one night. His task: drive two mysterious young women (Ryan and Fry) around Los Angeles for a night of party hopping. Taken captive by his clients’ charm, he soon learns that his passengers have their own plans for him – and an insatiable thirst for blood. As his night spins out of control, Benny is thrust into the middle of a clandestine war that pits rival tribes of vampires against the protectors of the human world, led by his brother (Raúl Castillo), who will stop at nothing to send them back into the shadows. With sunrise fast approaching, Benny is forced to choose between fear and temptation if he wants to stay alive and save the City of Angels.”

The trailer starts with a scene where two girls who have hired Benny as their driver for the night. They ask Benny what he’d do if he knew it was his last night alive; Benny responds that he’s a simple guy, but it’s evident that simple isn’t exactly what these girls are known for.

They have a list of must-hit parties for the night before arriving at an important one before morning, and in addition to giving the girls a ride, Benny is in for a lot more than he bargained for. There are killer parties, blood-sucking hidden rooms, and a vampire cult that runs the city. So clearly not his average night on the job.

You can watch Night Teeth on Netflix this October, and while you wait, catch a slew of other spooky films and television leading up to the debut.

It looks like Harry Potter might not have quite got the job done after all! Fans of the series seem to have spotted him in a massive storm that took place in Turkey recently.

According to reports from Market Research Telecast, fans were dropping comments on Twitter in Turkish like “Lord Voldemort has returned”; “I will be in time for my letter to arrive at Hogwarts or I will have to experience Voldemort’s return as a filthy Muggle.”; and “Voldemort revived again. Do something, Mr. Harry Potter”

We’ve shared the video below, can you see He Who Must Not Be Named in the storm clouds? Or is it just the lingering outrage over J.K. Rowling’s recent alleged lawsuit?

The Harry Potter series is currently streaming on HBO Max for those who want to compare the face in the clouds to the real thing.

The hype is through the roof for No Time to Die. Not only is it the first James Bond movie in six years and one that’s been delayed by about 18 months, but it also marks the very last time Daniel Craig will play 007. The Knives Out actor first appeared the legendary super-spy in 2006’s Casino Royale, meaning he’s the longest-running performer to play the part in the franchise’s 60-year history.

So it’s no surprise that Craig teared up upon making his farewell speech when No Time To Die wrapped production back in 2019. This emotional moment was shared in the documentary special Being James Bond, which is available to watch on Apple TV now. Filmthusiast also shared the clip on social media. Watch Craig’s speech via the tweet below:

In the clip, Craig speaks to the gathered crew while holding back tears as he remarks that many of the people who worked on NTTD also worked on the previous four Bond films he’s starred in.

“I know there’s a lot of things said about what I think about these films or all of those… whatever,” Craig said, “but I’ve loved every single second of these movies, and especially this one, because I’ve got up every morning and I’ve had the chance to work with you guys. And that’s been one of the greatest honors of my life.”

The star appears to be alluding to those old rumors that he was made to do a fifth film against his will, or at least only did it for the paycheck, but it’s clear from this video that saying goodbye to Bond and the friends and colleagues he made on these productions was a hugely emotional experience for Craig. And it’s hugely emotional for fans to see him leave the franchise behind, too, as he’s been the only Bond a whole generation has known.

Also featuring Rami Malek, Lea Seydoux, Lashana Lynch, Ana de Armas, and Christoph Waltz, No Time To Die finally hits theaters on October 6th in the US, following its debut in UK cinemas on September 30th. Pretty soon we should get the first reactions to the movie and we’ll find out whether it’s been worth the long, long wait.
