If you were one of the millions of kids in the 80’s that never looked at our dolls the same way again after ‘Child’s Play‘ hit the big screens in 1988, Scream Factory has got an awesome collector’s edition of the flick to bring back those fond, or not-so-fond, memories. If you’re a millennial kid, or later, this is a pre-requisite in understanding what was so wonderful about 80’s horror movies.

October 18, 2016 is when this iconic flick is going to be available in two different options, each featuring a 2-disc collector’s edition 2K scan of the film on Blu-ray.

When Charles Lee Ray needs to get quick escape from cop Mike Norris, he takes his soul and buries it into playful, seemingly good guy doll Chucky. Little does he know a little boy by the name of Andy Barclay will be the new owner of him soon-to-come. Charles confides in Andy while he commits numerous murders. Once the adults accept Andy’s story as truth, it’s too late.
