from Survive This Crit · host Kylie Olsen

Hey everyone, and welcome back to Survive This Crit! In this Deep Dive episode, we’re digging into the drama behind the making of the cult classic Child’s Play (1988)—from the portrayal of voodoo in film, to unexpected meet-cutes on set, and of course, the creation of our favorite 3-foot-tall serial killer: Chucky.
