Just when you got over the childhood trauma this character brought, Chucky is back. Seriously this thing scared the crap out of any child who grew up in the late 80s and early 90s.

It also features a performance by the late great Adam West, and you know his appearance will add to the entertainment of the film.

The Mist (October 24th)

Before it was a TV series it a was a novel. Between those times a movie came out. This film from 2007 showed how dangerous it was to go out on a foggy day. Watch as a group of survivors barricade themselves in a grocery store and do everything they can to stay alive from mysterious creatures who want to tear them apart.

THE HATEFUL EIGHT

In need of something intense? Then it’s time to call in Quentin Tarantino. This time around he puts some gunslingers in a cabin in the middle of nowhere with a rewards to be claimed and blood to be spilled. It’s a nail-biting ride you don’t want to miss.
