Shocking Twist: Chucky's Unexpected Collaboration with The Exorcist Unveiled in Mind-Blowing Trailer Reaction!

Summary

Chucky and The Exorcist: Believer, two famous horror franchises, are featured in a unique trailer reaction video on the official Chucky Instagram account.

The video features Chucky playfully responding to the Exorcist trailer, progressively growing more upbeat and enthusiastic, and ultimately encouraging viewers to brace themselves for a thrilling fright.

The launch date of Exorcist: Believer coincides with the debut of Chucky season 3, making this sponsored promotion a well-timed and innovative marketing approach.

The Chucky and The Exorcist: Believer franchises have joined forces in an exclusive trailer reaction video. Chucky is the latest installment in the long-running Child's Play series, airing on the USA Network and Syfy. It follows seven previous movies, excluding the 2019 remake. The Exorcist: Believer, on the other hand, is the sixth film and overall seventh installment, which includes the Fox television adaptation. This legacy sequel stars original actress Ellen Burstyn, 50 years after the release of the iconic original film, The Exorcist. To commemorate the upcoming release of The Exorcist: Believer on October 6 and the premiere of Chucky season 3 on October 4, the official Chucky Instagram account has shared a peculiar paid promotional video.

How Chucky is Able to Interact with Other Horror Icons

In the video, Chucky can be seen eagerly watching the trailer of The Exorcist: Believer. Initially, he expresses his bewilderment by cleverly stating, "I don't know what possessed them to put me through that." However, as the trailer progresses, Chucky's attitude towards the movie gradually changes. With growing enthusiasm, he can't help but shout out, "What a f---ing rush!" and boldly declares, "Get ready for the best scare of your life."

The Chucky TV show has once again joined forces with another popular horror franchise for its advertising campaign. Two years ago, during the premiere of Chucky season 1, the infamous killer doll (voiced by Brad Dourif) was featured in a commercial where he faced off against Michael Myers in a crossover promotion with Halloween Kills. While it is uncommon for a slasher icon to engage in frequent cross-promotion, it is evident why Chucky is consistently chosen for such videos.

One of the reasons why this is permitted to occur is because Chucky is a Universal property. Originally known for producing monster movies in the 1930s, the company still possesses the rights to numerous popular horror franchises. In addition to being responsible for the release of Exorcist: Believer and Halloween Kills, Universal's ownership of Chucky allows for potential crossovers. Furthermore, Chucky's own franchise evolution has positioned him for seamless interactions with other franchises.

The Child's Play franchise initially consisted of three traditional horror films, but the transition to a more comedic and self-aware tone began with the release of Bride of Chucky in 1998. This trend continues in Chucky, as seen in the Christmas special of season 2 where Chucky directly interacts with the audience. Chucky's knowledge of popular culture and acknowledgment of the audience's presence enables him to engage in activities like watching The Exorcist: Believer trailer without contradicting the established universe of the series.
