Oh mama!

Arrow have announced a set containing every single CHUCKY film plus the documentary LIVING WITH CHUCKY, in brand spanking new 4K and also on Blu-Ray!

I’ve got a major love for this series and the batshit turns that it takes as we get to the later sequels, we’ve previously had a boxset containing the 7 Child’s Play/Chucky films but this comes with extra goodies plus Kyra Elise Gardner’s definitive documentary LIVING WITH CHUCKY.
