I’m really rather baffled about how this actually came to pass. Howie Mandel, whom you’ll likely not remember at all before he shaved his head and took over a game show, is executive producing a project called “Kill Switch”. It’s about a woman who can transfer her consciousness into the bodies of people about to be murdered.

If this sounds somewhat familiar, it should, and with good reason. Much the same as “Child’s Play”, the franchise-starting classic about a serial killer who, through voodoo capabilities and the nigh-constant invocation of the voodoo god Damballa, managed to transfer his soul around from body to body to doll and then failed to move to another body. Oh…and guess who’s writing the script for “Kill Switch”? Who else?—“Child’s Play” writer Don Mancini.

Which by itself wouldn’t be bad, except for two key facts:

1. It’s being called a drama.
2. It’s premiering on the Sci-Fi Channel

Oh boy. This can’t be good. Don Mancini’s newest title is a Sci-Fi Channel not so Original Picture? It’s a dark day for us all, kids—drown your sorrows by remembering the greats on horror movie trivia.
