“Lesson one… You never go anywhere alone, unless you’ve got no choice. And lesson two… only travel during daylight, unless you’ve got no choice.” In June of 2003, Danny Boyle unleashed hell upon Americans with 28 Days Later.

Look who’s stalking! You guessed it: Chucky. In August of 1991, the foul-mouthed Good Guy returned less than a year after the release of Child’s Play 2. Nine months! So, why the quick turnaround?
