s is actor and voice of Chucky, Mark Hamill, joining Bear McCreary in the studio to provide a chilling addition to the score.

Of the soundtrack, composer BEAR MCCREARY says, “When I first watched director Lars Klevberg’s ambitious new vision for Child’s Play, my imagination was immediately bombarded with a barrage of crazy sounds, ranging from toy pianos, to accordions, to hurdy gurdies. As the score evolved, those sounds gave way to even weirder textures, like otamatones, stylophones, and dozens of stacks of my own voice, singing like a deranged choir of little girls. Of all the performances, however, I am most proud of Mark Hamill, who dove into the soundtrack headfirst with enthusiasm and passion. I sincerely loved working with him, as well as with everyone involved in the film. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to contribute to Chucky’s musical legacy!”

Directed by Lars Klevberg and written by Tyler Burton Smith, Child’s Play is based on the original 1988 movie of the same name, and follows a mother named Karen (Aubrey Plaza), who gives her son Andy (Gabriel Bateman) a toy doll for his birthday, unaware of its sinister nature.
