We know that the biggest question you might have is: Will there be a “Director’s Cut” of the film? The answer is yes—but with some caveats. We are working on putting together a version that will be close to Blatty’s original script using a mixture of various film and video tape sources that we have been provided with. This is still a work in progress and we will update you with more details at the time we announce the full list of bonus materials.

It can be hard to put away childish things — particularly when the thing in question is a Brad Dourif-voiced killer doll. On Oct. 18, Scream Factory is unleashing a collector’s edition Blu-ray of the 1988 horror film Child’s Play, the movie which introduced the world to that mini-maniac Chucky, and EW can exclusively reveal the release’s bonus features.

The two-disc set boasts a new 2K scan of the movie plus a recently-recorded audio commentary with the film’s Master of Horror director, Tom Holland (the original Fright Night). Other extras include two more commentaries (one with actors Alex Vincent and Catherine Hicks as well as Chucky designer Kevin Yagher, the other with producer David Kirschner and screenwriter Don Mancini), select scene commentaries from Chucky himself, numerous featurettes, the original theatrical trailer, and a still photo gallery. More extras will be announced at a later date.

Those who buy the set directly from the Shout Factory!/Scream Factory website will also receive a slipcover and poster while those who take advantage of the website’s “deluxe offer” will get two slipcovers, two posters, and a limited edition “Good Guys Chucky” doll from NECA. Both offers are available only while stocks last.
