Chucky Review: "Jennifer's Body"
Wow! So much to drink in after this episode, but I have to do this recap thing first. Rules are rules. So the beginning of this episode takes us all the way back to the exact scene where Season 2 ended: with Chucky revealed as being the Belle doll in disguise, which thwarted Tiffany's plan to get back in the very doll she had inhabited before. Before Chucky could enact his murderous revenge on his longtime beau, the police enter and arrest Tiffany, who is Jennifer Tilly to the rest of the world. Chucky leaves with Caroline, who we see for the first time following her surprise betrayal, but she is pursued by Nica Pierce--who is also making her first appearance since the Season 2 finale.

Chucky Review: "Murder at 1600"
At long last, Chucky's back on TV! The third season of Chucky hit the small screen at the usual time of the year, and kicked of with a young boy, Henry Collins, hiding in the closet, before being comforted by his mother, Charlotte Collins (more on her portrayer later). Henry's glad to see his mother, while also mentioning his new friend: Joseph--who looks quite familiar. I just want to say, I've heard a lot of different names for Good Guy dolls in this franchise: Chucky, Tommy, Larry, Pauly, but Joseph? My goodness.

The Tragic and Twisted Life and Times of Nica Pierce
This year is a big year for the Chucky franchise. In November, the franchise will celebrate 35 years, while the season premiere of the TV series is on the horizon. This year also marks the 10th anniversary of the film, Curse of Chucky, which was released during a big milestone year for the franchise, and was also the the sixth film in the franchise. Curse followed 1998's Bride and 2004's Seed, and after those two instilled loads of humor into the franchise, Curse brought it back to straight horror.

Chucky Review: "He Is Risen Indeed"
Today is a huge day for us Chucky fans: it's the anniversary of the very film that started it all, Child's Play. On November 9, 1988, the original Child's Play film hit theaters, with the cast including Alex Vincent as six-year-old Andy Barclay, Catherine Hicks (later of 7th Heaven fame) as Andy's mother, Karen Barclay, Chris Sarandon as detective Mike Norris, and of course, Brad Dourif as Charles Lee Ray, the infamous Lakeshore Strangler who is gunned down by Mike and transfers his soul into a Good Guy doll, Chucky. 34 years and six sequels later, we have this TV series, more specifically, this very episode, "He Is Risen Indeed."

Fated Showdown
I confidently strode across the darkened hall, leaving Marsha where she had fallen. Positive in who I would find on the other side of the closed door. Feeling the astral pull of my eternal beloved, I softly opened the door and entered the bedroom. The low light from the window was all I needed to see that the bed was empty, as was the room. Hurrying across the room I threw the closet door open, checking if my fated one was inside, but she was not there. Nor was she under the bed.

Fated Intrusion. Content Warning.
It’s well after one am, and the house is still. Neither Marsha nor my eternal one has moved around for hours. The neighborhood appears completely settled for the night, so very stealthily I leave my hiding spot in the bushes, and furtively make my way toward the rear of the house, where the sliding doors are located. Avoiding the flowerbeds and patio furniture, I’m as graceful as when I took ballet with Marsha as a child. I pry the glass door open, and hurriedly disarm the alarm system, having helped Alex install it earlier this year, I knew the code.

Fated Memories
I’d parked my Ninja in an alley off Cloverton Road and walked the three blocks over to Milton Avenue, keeping to the shadows as much as I could, hoping no one saw me and recognized me. I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived and saw my fated destiny’s rental car parked outside Marsha Cunningham’s house’s separate garage. Knowing the Fates were still working on my side made me feel bolder and more courageous. I was confident that tonight would be the night.

The Playground That Wasn't There
Lucas never knew why he preferred walking at night. Maybe it was the crisp air, the quiet streets, and the rarity of running into others. Often consumed with anxiety, his therapist suggested daily walks to clear his head and burn some energy. Going at night usually helped him sleep if nothing else.

Fated Urgency
I can sense our precious time is running out. The hour of our predestined meeting is upon us, and if I’m not careful, I will miss this golden opportunity that fate has delivered to me. Not even in our first incarnation, was such a moment available to me. Thrice, my destiny has been reincarnated and thrice I will hold her body in its dying throbs during this blessed lifetime. This chance cannot slip through my hands.

Fated Target
For two days, I have followed my destiny without discovering much more than the name she goes by in this incarnation, Melody Duskin, and that she’s staying at Marsha Cunningham’s Tudor-style house on Milton Avenue. I do not know how long she will be here. Nor am I aware of why she is here. All I am sure of is that the Fates have delivered me another chance to prove myself in this reincarnation.
