BRIDE OF CHUCKY (1998) — Friday Night WTF!
March 20 : 9:00 pm – 11:00 pm
Friday Night WTF screenings are cheap, weird, and out of control! Cult trashterpieces, so-bad-they’re-good crapfests, movies that make you ask “What the hell am I watching?!” — we’ve got ’em all on Friday night.
“Sick and wrong in all the right ways!” – Austin Chronicle
Chucky gets lucky! The film that revitalized the Child’s Play franchise by ditching any pretense of serious horror and diving deep into gleeful blood-splattered camp. Chucky (Brad Dourif) gets resurrected by his deranged ex, Tiffany (Jennifer Tilly, in an iconic performance), only for the two of them to end up trapped in doll bodies, bickering like a homicidal screwball couple. What follows is a road‑trip slasher laced with black comedy, meta winks, and Tilly stealing every scene with wicked charm. Directed by Hong Kong action legend Ronny Yu and featuring a pre-Grey’s Anatomy Katherine Heigl, BRIDE OF CHUCKY is trashy, silly, and utterly delightful. If you’ve never seen Chucky rock out to some White Zombie, you haven’t lived.
