Childs Play

Last week saw the release of a 20th anniversary Childs Play DVD. Whilst the disc is supposedly pretty packed, one voice was missing - that of director Tom Holland. Website Icons of Fright has dealt with this in a pretty cool way by enlisting Holland to provide an unofficial commentary track which can be synced with the DVD. The track is available for free download here.
