10 Unnecessary Horror Movie Details You NEED To Know

After growing up around his father who was very successful in the field of marketing and advertising, Don Mancini - writer of the original Child's Play - became exceedingly intrigued with the ideology of the practice, and just how it in turn, affected the children it was catering to.
