The Halloweenies stick around Chicago as they kick off Season 6 with 1988's Child's Play. Together, the gang dissects the production's “crucial quartet” of Mancini/Kirshner/Lafia/Holland, the combative behind-the-scenes stories, the professionals top-to-bottom, the SFX challenges in bringing Chucky to life, the heyday of Cabbage Patch Dolls, Ronald Reagan’s deregulation of advertising to children, the voices, the mythos, all of it in one big ol' Good Guys box. This is not the end, friends.
