Yesterday I was pleased to report that there's a new special-edition Blu-ray of Aliens coming out this fall, commemorating the sci-fi/horror classic's 30th anniversary.

Now today there's more good news for genre fans, as Scream Factory has announced that a collector's-edition Blu-Ray of Tom Holland's ace killer-doll flick Child's Play is set for release this fall as well.

The two-disc package, out October 18, features a a new 2K scan of the movie plus a recently-recorded audio commentary with director Holland. Other bonus features include interviews with the creators and cast members, various featurettes--including "Chucky: Building a Nightmare", with Chucky designer Kevin Yagher, and a 23-minute doc on '80s horror--the original theatrical trailer, and a still-photo gallery.

For hardcore Chuckyheads with lotsa spare cash there's also a "deluxe offer" available through the Scream Factory website that includes two slipcovers, two posters, and a limited edition “Good Guys Chucky” doll from NECA.

There's no guarantee the doll is possessed by the murderous weirdo spirit of Brad Dourif, however.
