They have been doing that recently (picking when they want to relase the sequels). For instance, choosing to set the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre after the original. Personally, I thought the first two Child's Play movies were really good and they definitely had a dark tone. The latter two were to me were nearly as great with Bride of Chucky being my second favorite Child's Play film (I thought the humor was quite funny), but they were very different than the first three. I absolutely hated the third film, I thought it was the worst film in the series.
