The hit horror series ‘Chucky‘ continues to deliver spine-chilling thrills as it nears the end of its third season, and the latest trailer has given fans a terrifying glimpse of what’s to come. Ahead of the penultimate episode, ‘There Will Be Blood,’ the new footage teases the long-awaited return of horror icon Brad Dourif in the flesh as the notorious slasher villain Charles Lee Ray.
For over 35 years, Dourif has been the voice behind the iconic Chucky doll, but his physical presence in the series has been limited since 2013’s ‘Curse of Chucky.’ Now, creator Don Mancini is unleashing the full wrath of Dourif’s Charles Lee Ray, and the 30-second teaser promises a chilling and bloody conclusion to the season.
The extended promo builds upon a previously released trailer, offering an extended look at the ghostly horrors that await as the spirits of the White House take over. While Chucky the doll may be “dead,” the trailer makes it clear that no one is safe from the wrath of Charles Lee Ray, who appears in haunting shots reminiscent of classic horror films like ‘Nosferatu.’
Fans of the franchise will be delighted to see Dourif fully embracing the role, devouring every second of the teaser with his sinister presence. The trailer promises to deliver the kind of horror references and callbacks that have made ‘Chucky’ one of the most beloved slasher franchises in recent years.
This season of ‘Chucky’ has taken daring risks, with the killer doll terrorizing the White House and betraying his voodoo god Damballa. After a botched exorcism, Chucky rapidly aged and infiltrated the White House in a desperate attempt to please his god. However, his plans went awry, and he ended up disintegrating after narrowly avoiding nuking the world.
