Beer just got a little creepier ahead of Halloween. Elysian Brewing in Seattle has created a special pumpkin beer inspired by one of Hollywood’s most frightening characters—Chucky.
The evil talking doll first appeared in the 1988 movie Child’s Play and has starred in eight more films since. The knife-wielding toy found his way to television last year as part of the Syfy and USA Network series Chucky. Brad Dourif once again reprises his role as the titular character who commits a series of murders in a small New Jersey city.
With season two of the show set to premiere in October, Elysian has brewed a wheat-based pumpkin beer called Chucky: A Killer Wit Beer. The beverage also contains cranberry juice and has been described as “light in color with spine-chilling flavors of chamomile and cinnamon—the perfect combination of everything you love about the season.”
“Chucky is one of Halloween’s most iconic, beloved characters, and we have found the perfect partner in Elysian Brewing to capture his spirit this season,” stated Ellen Stone, executive vice president for entertainment consumer engagement and brand strategy at the networks’ parent company NBCUniversal Television and Streaming. “This custom pumpkin beer provides a fresh, unique way for fans and beer fanatics alike to quench their thirst with a taste of Chucky ahead of the season two premiere.”
Gulp.
