Release the Child’s Play 2 TV cut on modern platforms

The Issue

Growing up, watching the TV cut of Child’s Play 2 on the USA channel was an essential part of my love for this iconic horror film series. It was a unique version that added new dimensions and moments to the story, making it a fun yet different experience from the original theatrical release. However, with the advent of Chucky's own series allowing unrestricted content, there's an increasing risk that this nostalgic cut might become lost to time, disappearing from public access. It's more than just another version; it's a piece of cultural history that deserves preservation.

The Child’s Play 2 TV cut, produced circa 1992, offered viewers intriguing changes and additions. Its existence adds significant value to the horror film community and to collectors who cherish having every cut of a beloved series. Given that this version has already been created and broadcast before, there are no additional production costs associated with its release. The demand for classic films and their unique editions continues to grow, as evidenced by the burgeoning market for collectible Blu-Rays and streaming platforms dedicating resources to vintage releases.

What we need is to bring this version out of its historical limbo and into the modern era of home media and digital streaming. Releasing the Child’s Play 2 TV cut on DVD, Blu Ray, or streaming platforms will preserve its uniqueness and make it accessible to both new audiences and die-hard fans like myself who cherish its contribution to the Child’s Play legacy.

I urge all fans of Chucky, horror aficionados, and nostalgia seekers to join me in calling on Universal Pictures, or any entity that holds the rights, to officially release this version. Let us ensure that it does not fade into obscurity, but rather, remains a celebrated part of horror film history. Please sign this petition if you believe in the importance of preserving this fantastic piece of film art for future generations. Together, we can prevent the Child’s Play 2 TV cut from becoming lost media.
