Each week Joe Lipsett will highlight a key scene or interaction in S02 of Don Mancini’s Chucky series to consider how the show is engaging with and contributing to queer horror.
Leave it to “Chucky” to not only pivot at the mid-way point of its second season to become a one-off campy murder mystery in the vein of Clue, but also to do its queer homework. Yes folks, gather around as we welcome back Glen and Glenda (both played by non-binary actor Lachlan Watson) for the first time since their introduction all the way back in Seed of Chucky.
As listeners of Horror Queers know from our episode with Don Mancini, there was a lot of hesitation about bringing these characters back because they were not well received back in 2004. Obviously times have changed since the gender non-confirming twins were first introduced, but Chucky’s audience is seemingly more...
