Halloween Horror Nights Unleashes NEW Haunts Including Chucky, Universal Monsters & “The Exorcist: Believer”

The countdown begins for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood as the destinations announce additional all-new terrifying haunted houses, including “The Exorcist: Believer,” inspired by the new Universal Pictures film from Blumhouse and Morgan Creek Entertainment, “Chucky: Ultimate Kill Count,” based on the popular USA & SYFY series, and “Universal Monsters: Unmasked,” inspired by Universal’s legacy of iconic cinematic monsters.

Mezco Designer Series Deluxe Chucky

Time to play! Chucky is back to terrorize the Mezco Designer Series.

The MDS Deluxe Chucky is a super-D take on the homicidal doll, featuring two all-new head sculpts – a bloody-nosed smirk from Child’s Play 2 and a mutilated and disfigured ‘pizza face’ sculpt from Child’s Play 3.

Funko 5 Star Horror Figures Kiddify Freddy, Jason & More

Funko, devourer of pop culture licences the world over, is no stranger to the darker side of our fandoms. They've fought demons with Hellboy, swatted at tentacles with any number of Anime heroes and walked the darkened streets with our favorite horror icons. Now, their new 5 Star figure line dives back into cinematic horror's greatest moments, celebrating the fiends we love to see go to work!

Ya know...it's funny, but NECA just started selling toys at Target and one location in particular pulled all their horror figures after a mom complained her son wanted a Chucky figure. Has this ever happened with any of the Funko Pop horror figures, I wonder? Probably not! Stand your ground, Target! But I digress...

Mezco Designer Series Child's Play 3 Talking Pizza Face Chucky

Chucky has been revived! Due to a mishap at the Play Pals’ factory, Chucky has been given a new lease on life and a new opportunity to take over an unsuspecting soul.

The Mezco Designer Series Talking Pizza Face Chucky features an all-new head sculpt, depicting Chucky’s mutilated face after a run in with the Grim Reaper’s scythe in the “Devil’s Lair”.

Just as he did in the films, Chucky has lots to say from his trademark “Hi, I’m Chucky, and I’m your friend till the end!”, to far more sinister phrases.

Toy Fair 2017: Mezco's Horror Toys Lineup

We've got loaaaaads more to show you before the big event, so we're just going to start heaving it at you as fast as I can edit and post. ARE YOU READY FOR THAT NEW TOY SMELL??!!

Mezco held their annual toy fair preview, and though we were locked in by a minor Snowpocalypse, our buddy the Ultimate Toy Collector ran in and shot the place for us. We thought we'd kick things off with a look of all the horror items on display including new jack in the boxes, vinyl figures, puzzle cubes and Living Dead Dolls! Let's gooooo...

Toy Fair 2014: Living Dead Dolls & Horror

I can remember a time when multiple companies were introducing their creepy toy lines. Some had bears and some demon babies and one chose the classic doll format and scale, creating individual personalities for each with distinctive styling and a spooky little poem to top it off. That line was called Living Dead Dolls and 16 years later, Mezco is celebrating with their 27th series and some surprises...

Spirits and ghouls from around the world,
Things that go bump in the night,
The form in shadow in the corner of the room,
Beasts that avoid the light,
All of them gather in defiance of heaven,
We proudly present...Living Dead Dolls 27!

Mezco's Stylized Chucky

"We're friends to the end!" Of course, with Chucky as your friend, the end comes much sooner than you ever expected. Chucky, the homicidal doll who contains the spirit of Charles Lee Ray, a serial killer better known as "The Lakeshore Strangler," is the latest perturbed plaything to be produced by Mezco Toyz.

Mezco's award-winning designers have created an all new sculpture in an all new scale that not only captures the look of Chucky, but the very essence of his menace. Every detail has been captured; from his classic coveralls to the unique imprint of the soles on his sneakers. From his glistening, insane eyes, and his sneering lips, to his shocking red hair, this is Chucky at his most iconic...and most evil!

The star of five CHILD'S PLAY films, Chucky features 7 points of articulation. He also comes with a knife that he is sure to use for no good.

Chucky Coming to Halloween Horror Nights

Universal Studios Hollywood’s premier Halloween event, “Halloween Horror Nights,” continues to unlock the terror that torments movie-goers with the announcement of two new original scare-zones:  The Purge, based on Universal Pictures’ summer blockbuster and upcoming Blu-ray™ and DVD release, and Universal Studios Home Entertainment’s Blu-ray™ and Digital debut of Curse of Chucky, an all-new movie where Chucky returns to horrify viewers in the latest unrated chapter of the blood-soaked suspense saga.  “Halloween Horror Nights” begins on Friday, September 20, 2013.

Designed to provoke an unrelenting sense of fear for “Halloween Horror Nights” guests, numerous scare-zones will be riddled throughout the event to consistently terrify and traumatize them at every unsuspecting twist and turn.

Toy Fair 2012: Mezco's Living Dead Dolls

Horror toys seem to be staple in the Toy Fair parade of plastics every year, and few are able to pump every ounce of their horror love into their products quite like Mezco toys. We caught up with our creepy buddies at UK Toy Fair and got an eyeful of Living Dead Dolls art for 2012! On tap...








Rotten Sam & Sandy: Rotten Sam and Sandy, creep from your toy chest at night, They hide in the shadows of your bedroom after you turn out the light, They giggle and whisper in darkness, just in the corner of sight, They speak of candy and razors, and things much too horrid to bear, And if you peer ‘neath your bed tonight, you can be sure they’ll be there. They just want to have fun with you, playing all day and all night, your screams are like candy to them, ...pray you can get to the light. - Shipping this month!


Living Dead Dolls Series 23: Introduces Teddy, Quack, Agatha, Jennocide and Betsy: these little terrors fancy a cup of tea, with a twist of terror and a pinch of arsenic. They invite you to come play “tea party”, each comes with their own skull shaped tea cup except for Betsy, who comes with a skull shaped teapot with removable lid. Of course one can’t have a tea party without a table, so each doll with a tea cup also comes with a table leg. Snap the legs onto a Living Dead Doll coffin lid and you have the perfect tea table for a party beneath the moonlight…just watch out for the taste of almonds. - July 2012



Scary Tales Volume 3: Hansel & Gretel - April 2012


Scary Tales Volume 4: Snow White & The Evil Stepmother/ The Queen - May 2012






..and no Living Dead Dolls lineup would be complete without a modern horror icon, so we present to you...CHUCKY!! He's sewn up, battered, tattered and beaten down...but he won't stop killing until his batteries run out! You'll find him on store shelves this October.

Since Universal Monsters seems to be dishing out the licenses this year (as you'll see when we scare up some LEGO pics), it was a no-brainer for Living Dead Dolls to join in the fun. CLICK HERE to head over to DREAD CENTRAL to see pics of the new Living Dead Dolls DRACULA!

Mezco is sure to explore the entire universe of Universal Monsters as they are massive horror fans just like us so we expect more surprises to come out of the NY Toy Fair in a few weeks. Damien Glonek of Mezco said "We have been wanting to do Universal Monsters for a very long time, so when an opportunity comes along to pay homage to something you love and grew up with it is always a real treat." He also mentioned that Dracula, the first piece from the Universal Monsters lineup, will not surface until 2013.

Stay locked in to Idle Hands for all the Toy Fair news you can handle!!
