Christine Elise knows better than most that Chucky can never die.<\/p>\n

The actress played fan favorite Kyle in Child\u2019s Play 2, a role she briefly reprised in the post-credits scene of Cult Chucky before returning in the \u201cChucky\u201d TV series.<\/p>\n

While the show was cancelled after three seasons last year, Elise is confident we haven\u2019t seen the last of the killer doll.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe show is genuinely great. I think three seasons of the show, collectively, are better than the seven movies that preceded,\u201d Elise told me at a screening of Child\u2019s Play 2 in Boston last night.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon Mancini just let loose with eight hours of content three years in a row. I think that\u2019s unparalleled entertainment. He\u2019s got great taste in people and an incredible affection for cinema. He\u2019s a cinephile; just a machine brain for cinema, and not just horror.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elise adds, \u201cI don\u2019t know what\u2019s coming next. All I know is Chucky always comes back!\u201d<\/p>\n

Chucky is a rare horror icon whose original continuity remains intact. Moreover, the property survived the shift from theatrical to direct-to-video to television, even with a Hollywood remake in between.<\/p>\n

This is all thanks in no small part to Don Mancini, who has been the driving creative force behind the franchise since it began in 1988.<\/p>\n

Following the cancellation of the TV show, Mancini posted<\/a>, \u201cThe Chucky franchise has always prioritized story continuity, across different media, for decades. You WILL see your favorites again.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the mean time,\u00a0Chucky: The Complete Series<\/a> hit Steelbook Blu-ray last month, and the character lives on in merchandise from the likes of Fanta<\/a>, Hallmark<\/a>, NECA<\/a>, Funko<\/a>, Youtooz<\/a>, Pix<\/a>, Squishmallows<\/a>, and even a 2026 calendar<\/a>.<\/p>\n
