Thommy Hutson has had a hand in the making of multiple documentaries about popular horror films: the 90 minute documentaries His Name Was Jason: 30 Years of Friday the 13th and Scream: The Inside Story, the 2 hour documentary More Brains! A Return to the Living Dead and its shorter companion pieces They Won’t Stay Dead: A Look at the Return of the Living Dead Part II and Love Beyond the Grave: A Look at the Return of the Living Dead III. He was a producer on the 4 hour documentary Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy and the 6 and a half+ hour documentary Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History of Friday the 13th. Now he has turned his attention to the Child’s Play / Chucky franchise, resulting in the 295 minute (that’s 4 hours and 55 minutes) documentary Doc of Chucky! Doc of Chucky will be released through the Shudder streaming service on November 1st, and with that date just two weeks away, a trailer for the documentary has arrived online. You can watch it in the embed above.

Directed by Hutson, the documentary has the following synopsis: The ultimate account of the Child’s Play film franchise and Chucky, a horror villain for the ages. With contributions from cast, crew, critics, historians, and experts, as well as clips, photographs, archival documents, behind-the-scenes footage, and more, experience the making-of story that proves you can’t keep a good guy down in a series of films that have created an icon.

It features interviews with Don Mancini, Brad Dourif, Jennifer Tilly, Catherine Hicks, Chris Sarandon, John Waters, Fiona Dourif, Alex Vincent, Perrey Reeves, Gerrit Graham, David Kirschner, and more.

The original Child’s Play was released in 1988 and has spawned a franchise that includes six sequels – Child’s Play 2 (1990), Child’s Play 3 (1991), Bride of Chucky (1998), Seed of Chucky (2004), Curse of Chucky (2013), Cult of Chucky (2017) – a 2019 remake, and three seasons of a TV series that ran on USA Network, Syfy, and the Peacock streaming service. The Chucky TV show was recently cancelled, but the cast is holding on to hope that it will find a new home for season 4. Can they #SaveChucky? A new feature sequel is also in the works.

Jeff Lieberman is one of my favorite directors that you don’t hear referenced often enough. He has directed several awesome movies that have dealt with subject matter like killer worms (Squirm), LSD freakouts (Blue Sunshine), homicidal mountain men (Just Before Dawn), brainwashing aliens (Remote Control), and a serial killer stalking the streets on Halloween (Satan’s Little Helper). Thankfully, legendary drive-in critic and movie host Joe Bob Briggs will be shining a spotlight on Lieberman during this year’s special Halloween presentation of his Shudder series The Last Drive-in with Joe Bob Briggs, a special that’s called Joe Bob’s Beelzebub Bash! The special is set to air on Friday, October 25th at 9pm ET on Shudder and AMC+ in the US & Canada.

Lieberman has confirmed that he’ll be a special guest on Joe Bob’s Beelzebub Bash – and if he’s the guest on a Halloween special, chances are good that Satan’s Little Helper is going to be one of the two movies Joe Bob will be showing. It has been revealed that Joe Bob and Darcy the Mail Girl will be interacting with two guests during the special, but Lieberman is the only one we know the identity of.

On The Last Drive-In, the world’s foremost drive-in movie critic hosts eclectic horror movies, talking about their merits, histories and significance to genre cinema.

Satan’s Little Helper has the following synopsis: On the afternoon of Halloween, Douglas Whooly dons his costume in expectation of a fun-filled night. But, when he hears that his beloved sister, Jenna, has found herself a boyfriend, he throws a tantrum and flees the house. Douglas befriends a man in a devil costume and helps him decorate his lawn with fake corpses. Unfortunately for Douglas and his family, the corpses — much like the murders that will punctuate the evening to come — are all too real. The film stars Alexander Brickel, Katheryn Winnick, Stephen Graham, and Amanda Plummer.

The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs is produced by Matt Manjourides and Justin Martell and directed by Austin Jennings. Joe Bob is joined on every episode by Diana Prince as Darcy the Mail Girl.

The end of an era approaches as Netflix‘s Cobra Kai series prepares to take its final bow. To get fans ready for the show’s staggered Finale, the streamer unleashed a gallery of first-look images featuring the students of Miyagi-Do, Cobra Kai, and others awaiting the results of a contest determining who gains control of the Valley and more.

According to Netflix, Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2 “brings us to the Sekai Taikai, where Miyagi-Do will face new challenges and old enemies as they fight to become world champions — can they stay united as internal rivalries bubble back to the surface?”

Speaking about the conclusion of the show’s final season, Hayden Schlossberg, who co-created Cobra Kai with Josh Heald and Jon Hurwitz, tells Netflix’s Tudum that… “the first thing that you’re going to notice is we’re not in the Valley anymore. It’s a totally different environment. The competitive space is different from previous All Valley tournaments. There’s no crowd watching. This is a karate temple that they’re going to, where the only people in attendance are black belts or karate masters.”

It was also announced today that Lewis Tan (Deadpool v. Wolverine, Mortal Kombat), Patrick Luwis (Rebel Moon), and newcomer Rayna Vallandingham have joined the cast. First appearing in Part Two, the three are part of a competing dojo at the Sekai Taikai. Tan plays Sensei Wolf in the final chapters of the series, while Luwis plays Axel Kovacevic, and Vallandingham plays Zara Malik.

Cobra Kai Season 6 Part debuts November 15, with Part 3/The Finale Event arriving in 2025.

Today’s Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2 first-look images feature Lewis Tan in all of his ab-tastic glory, the students of Miyagi-Do preparing for war against Cobra Kai at the Sekai Taikai, friends and family cheering from the sidelines, and enemies coming face-to-face for a final confrontation.

While the staggered release of the final episodes is irksome, it doesn’t detract from the mounting tension for the next episodes. Cobra Kai has punched above its weight from the start to become something remarkable. The show took audiences by storm, with plans to extend the story beyond the core series. We’re excited to discover who wins, loses, and returns to prison. Seriously, John Kreese, what the hell are you doing there? I know you’re out of the country, but c’mon. Also, is that a knife in your hands? Are Kreese and Johnny about to have a knife fight? Oh, Cobra Kai, you crazy!
