This week is a huge week for franchise horror, with Don Mancini’s “Chucky” series premiering on SYFY & USA last night and Halloween Kills headed to theaters and Peacock on Friday. Yes, both Chucky and Michael Myers are back in the very same week, and since they’re both Universal properties, well, that means the two can co-exist within the same marketing.
Not that we expected such things, mind you, but Universal indeed made the once-in-a-lifetime mashup happen with a killer TV spot you may have seen while watching “Chucky” last night.
The spot advertises the theatrical/Peacock release of Halloween Kills, beginning with Chucky carving up a pumpkin with his trusty kitchen knife. What does he carve into that pumpkin, you ask? The iconic mask of Michael Myers, of course. The TV spot then reveals that Michael himself is standing close by, and he smashes his own trusty kitchen knife into the pumpkin.
“What, you don’t like it?” Chucky asks Michael Myers, the very first time the two horror icons have appeared on screen together. It’s only a TV spot, but we’ll take what we can get!
