Child’s Play is one of those annoying franchises because someone owns the rights to the original, and someone else owns the rights to the sequels. So we will never get a complete box set, and that sucks!

However Dread Central has learned there are plans to release a newer (and hopefully) better Child’s Play DVD. No specifics are known, except that Brad Dourif, will be “heavily involved” with the special edition.

So if you have not already purchased the Child’s Play set (left) that includes all four sequels, hurry and do so, because once this DVD is released, you will be able to piece together the entire franchise, the way it was meant to be.

UPDATE: via Bloody-Disgusting.com

Here are the special features and release date for the DVD.

Release Date: September 9

Special Features:

- Commentary track with creator/writer Don Mancini and producer David Kirschner.
- A second track with FX guru Kevin Yagher, Catherine Hicks (Kevin’s wife; they met on the film), and now-grown-up Alex Vincent.
- A third track with Mancini and Chucky (Brad Dourif voicing in character).
- The film itself is presented in the long overdue 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen.
- Making-of documentary blending archival footage with new, on-camera interviews with Mancini, Kirschner, Yagher, Hicks, Vincent, Chris Sarandon, and Brad Dourif.
