Remaking Child’s Play: My Casting Choices

I’m finally back with my next Remake article. Today, I chose one of my favorite horror films, Child’s Play! Child’s Play absolutely terrified me when I was a kid and now it’s become one of my go-to films. As usual, I made my casting choices based on age, looks, and how I picture their overall performances. I hope you enjoy and let me know who you’d cast! (NOTE: I left Andy Barclay out of this article because I don’t know a lot of child actors.) (REMINDER: this is just hypothetical fun!! I respect everyone mentioned and this series isn’t meant to tear anyone down or be disrespectful!!)
