Mark Hamill Is The New Voice Of Chucky!

Since the moment we first learned that Brad Dourif, the longtime voice of Chucky, wouldn’t be voicing the possessed doll in the Child’s Play reboot we’ve wondered who would take his place. That question was answered yesterday during Orion’s panel at WonderCon. So who is the new voice of Chuck? It’s none other than Stars Wars actor Mark Hamill! While Hamill seems like an odd choice, he has have had some impressive voice roles in video games, radio dramas, and animated films including DC’s the Joker in 1992’s Batman: The Animated Series. In our hearts, Dourif will always be Chucky. But I have to admit, I’m curious to see how Hamill’s version of Chucky will turn out. With Polaroid director Lars Klevberg in the director’s chair, Chucky will make his return to theaters this June. But that’s not all, Chucky’s getting a makeover and a new name. Originally known as “The Good Guy Doll” the red-headed killer has been rebranded

Movie Review: Howard Lovecraft & the Undersea Kingdom Brings Classic Horror Literature to a New Generation

Last year, Shout! Factory brought us Howard Lovecraft and the Frozen Kingdom, an off-kilter, yet charming blend of kid-vid and the writings of horror maestro H.P.
