What’s better than watching the horror classic Child’s Play around Halloween? Watching the 2019 remake with improved special effects and a modern cast including Aubrey Plaza, Tim Matheson, Gabriel Bateman, and Mark Hamill as the voice of Chucky, that’s what.
The flick follows the original plot pretty closely, with updates and minor changes like how Chucky becomes “alive.” In the 2019 version, Andy is a 13-year-old teenager, whereas, in the original, he is a 7-year-old boy. So this Halloween, watch Child’s Play again…for the first time.

The horror/comedy flick follows Elvira, who has just quit her job but needs to make $50,000 quickly to open her Las Vegas show.
