‘Cult of Chucky’ Cast and Crew Offer Social Media A Peek Into the Film
Written by Patti Pauley
Just a few short days ago, social media exploded with the announcement that the seventh movie of the Child’s Play series, finally had a name and even a little teaser attached to the headline that had us all filled with those “Good Guy” feelings. Even if the Cult of Chucky teaser (seen below) is just snippets of Chucky’s shenanigans throughout the franchise with the reveal of the official title at the video’s conclusion, at the end of the day, it’s something. And that something is the oh so damn good fuzzy feeling.
Following the events of Curse, which brought Chucky back to his terrifying roots and face to face once more (even if it was brief) with his arch-nemeses Andy, we now find Nica in the insane asylum. The poor woman is probably suffering some massive PTSD, and her story of a killer doll murdering her entire family, is what has ultimately landed her there.
The lovely psychiatrist working with Nica (Fiona Dourif) inside group sessions, seems to think a “Good Guy”, would be a great therapy tool for the bunch, which turns out to be Chucky himself. Way to further that Pediophobia, eh? Andy (Alex Vincent) learns of the dire situation and comes to Nica’s aid, but not without Chucky’s beautiful but deadly bride (Jennifer Tilly) to stand in his way.
Now, for those who may have missed it, we here at iHorror have shared a few social media tidbits from the cast and crew before-click here to catch up. However, pretty recently as a matter of fact, Don Mancini, Fiona Dourif, Alex Vincent, and Jennifer Tilly have been most gracious to awaiting fans via their social media outlets, providing some updates and teasing the masses with Cult of Chucky clues and production shots.
Filming has already started in the chilly city of Winnipeg, and the film is aiming for a pre-Halloween release date for this year.

An Agatha reference?! I have so many questions right now.

This curious photo from Fiona Dourif’s Instagram account. Going over the script maybe?
Shot of Mancini and Dourif with an ON POINT beard giving Chucky a voice.
A break in between work it seems. Squad goals is the correct term here?
And of course, Miss Tilly can’t wait to hook back up with her on-screen soulmate!
Looking forward to working on the new #Chucky movie. I hope that thing that happened in Romania doesn’t make it awkward on the set. pic.twitter.com/XB70q3RK7q

‘Evil Dead’ Film Franchise Getting TWO New Installments
It was a risk for Fede Alvarez to reboot Sam Raimi’s horror classic The Evil Dead in 2013, but that risk paid off and so did its spiritual sequel Evil Dead Rise in 2023. Now Deadline is reporting that the series is getting, not one, but two fresh entries.
We already knew about the Sébastien Vaniček upcoming film that delves into the Deadite universe and should be a proper sequel to the latest film, but we are broadsided that Francis Galluppi and Ghost House Pictures are doing a one-off project set in Raimi’s universe based off of an idea that Galluppi pitched to Raimi himself. That concept is being kept under wraps.
“Francis Galluppi is a storyteller who knows when to keep us waiting in simmering tension and when to hit us with explosive violence,” Raimi told Deadline. “He is a director that shows uncommon control in his feature debut.”
That feature is titled The Last Stop In Yuma County which will release theatrically in the United States on May 4. It follows a traveling salesman, “stranded at a rural Arizona rest stop,” and “is thrust into a dire hostage situation by the arrival of two bank robbers with no qualms about using cruelty-or cold, hard steel-to protect their bloodstained fortune.”
Galluppi is an award-winning sci-fi/horror shorts director whose acclaimed works include High Desert Hell and The Gemini Project. You can view the full edit of High Desert Hell and the teaser for Gemini below:

‘Invisible Man 2’ Is “Closer Than Its Ever Been” to Happening
Elisabeth Moss in a very well-thought-out statement said in an interview for Happy Sad Confused that even though there have been some logistical issues for doing Invisible Man 2 there is hope on the horizon.
Podcast host Josh Horowitz asked about the follow-up and if Moss and director Leigh Whannell were any closer to cracking a solution to getting it made. “We are closer than we have ever been to cracking it,” said Moss with a huge grin. You can see her reaction at the 35:52 mark in the below video.
Whannell is currently in New Zealand filming another monster movie for Universal, Wolf Man, which might be the spark that ignites Universal’s troubled Dark Universe concept which hasn’t gained any momentum since Tom Cruise’s failed attempt at resurrecting The Mummy.
Also, in the podcast video, Moss says she is not in the Wolf Man film so any speculation that it’s a crossover project is left in the air.
Meanwhile, Universal Studios is in the middle of constructing a year-round haunt house in Las Vegas which will showcase some of their classic cinematic monsters. Depending on attendance, this could be the boost the studio needs to get audiences interested in their creature IPs once more and to get more films made based on them.
The Las Vegas project is set to open in 2025, coinciding with their new proper theme park in Orlando called Epic Universe.

Jake Gyllenhaal’s Thriller ‘Presumed Innocent’ Series Gets Early Release Date
Jake Gyllenhaal’s limited series Presumed Innocent is dropping on AppleTV+ on June 12 instead of June 14 as originally planned. The star, whose Road House reboot has brought mixed reviews on Amazon Prime, is embracing the small screen for the first time since his appearance on Homicide: Life on the Street in 1994.
Presumed Innocent is being produced by David E. Kelley, J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot, and Warner Bros. It is an adaptation of Scott Turow’s 1990 film in which Harrison Ford plays a lawyer doing double duty as an investigator looking for the murderer of his colleague.
These types of sexy thrillers were popular in the ’90s and usually contained twist endings. Here’s the trailer for the original:
According to Deadline, Presumed Innocent doesn’t stray far from the source material: “…the Presumed Innocent series will explore obsession, sex, politics and the power and limits of love as the accused fights to hold his family and marriage together.”
Up next for Gyllenhaal is the Guy Ritchie action movie titled In the Grey scheduled for release in January 2025.
Presumed Innocent is an eight-episode limited series set to stream on AppleTV+ starting June 12.
