    I remember working at my local video shop when the child murder was all over the newspapers, & the headline title was screaming at everyone to burn their video nasties.
    Surprisingly Child's Play 3 was rented out more times at my local video shop than the newly released blockbuster title.
    The removal of Child's Play 3 was voluntary though not many retailers did withdraw it because it was a popular with the customers because of the notoriety.
    Ironically, the Murdoch owned newspaper The Sun which was screaming for the film to be banned, the Rupert Murdoch owned satellite station Sky, one of his own movie channels was showing Child's Play 3 on a regular basis!
    Even after they were called out on it on a live news programme, they didn't withdraw it from the movie channel.
    I do agree with Davey, the Child's Play franchise & TV show are consistently good, unlike a variety of popular franchises from the 80s & 90s.
    Each movie is enjoyable, some more than others, but they're not terrible on the scale of Friday the 13th part V, or Freddy's Dead, or Halloween Resurrection.
    Really looking forward to the Phantasm ranking.
    A series that works solely on nightmare logic rather than reality, much like Fulci's Gates of Hell trilogy.

    I'm putting Cult last. I agree with the person that said that multiple Chuckys doesn't cut it. I'm glad that they went with a reboot then a tv show after. Then i would go with Seed. I thought that it was too cheesy. I would then put reboot, Bride, and 3 next. Tyler(the little kid in 3) is in the military school, because his dad is a soldier. I actually like Justin Whalin as Andy. I would then go 2, and then 1. Since it was brought up, I think that Curse retcones the ending of the original. In the post-credits scene, Andy is talking to his mom and says "say hi to Mike". Craig music have the olds. The voodoo isn't ignored in 2. Remember, someone left a Good Guy doll at the foster parents house? His name is Tommy. Chucky switches places with Tommy. In the morning, Andy wakes up and finds out that Chucky has tied him up, and gags him to play hide the soul. Chucky tries to put his soul into Andy two other times: once in the back of a newspaper trunk, and another time at the factory. I have no problem with the amusement park in 3. Where else were Andy, Tyler, and Kristen supposed to go? In the reboot, i liked the idea of Chucky being A.I. It's explained in the reboot that Andy is deaf, and gets made fun of. So, he wanted Chucky for a friend. Even though I like the reboot, I was bummed that Mark didn't use his Joker voice. It's explained in the movie that Chucky has a chip that makes him obey commands. It's removed, and he's reprogrammed. In 2019, Aubrey Plaza was 35. So, she could have a son that age. Yes, i do love it when the A-hole boyfriend gets his. I think that Andrew Robinson was great in 3, and John Ritter was great in Bride. I don't think that Chucky having a kid in Curse wouldn't have worked. He's a serial killer.

    I can't believe you are all giving this franchise such good marks. I barely liked the first one. I did rewatch it recently as my daughter is finally discovering all the old horror movies. I didn't find it as stupid as I did when I first saw it back in the day, but I never need to see it again. Still, an entertaining show. If I ever do decide to go further I now have a good idea of which ones to avoid. Though I am interested in seeing them go from the battlefield to the carnival.

    This is my favorite franchise. This was my first real horror franchise. Spoiler warning if you haven't seen the franchise. I remember as a kid one halloween I turned on Syfy in 20009/2010 and saw Chucky kill Andy's mom Maggie when she fell out of the window.
    But anyway, my ranking from least favorite to favorite would have to be:
    8. Child's play 2019 I didn't enjoy this movie when I went to see the only part I liked was The voice of Luke Skywalker/Joker played by marl Hamill voicing Chucky but that didn't save the film.
    7. Seed of Chucky. This movie was more focused on parody than on a killer doll movie to me.
    6. Child's play 3. The setting didn't fit well with me.
    5. Cult of the Chucky. I enjoyed this movie until the very end. Like if this was the last film. Then I think they could have gone with a different ending(this was my thought before the TV show premiered)
    4: Curse of Chucky: I really happy they went with a mich darker tone in this movie and explored some Chucky's backstory.
    3. Bride of Chucky: This movie introduced me to my childhood crush, Tiffany Valentine. I really enjoyed the chemistry of Tiffany and Chucky, but the downfall is the side plot between the two kids. I felt like they weren't necessary. But my favorite scene is when chucjt takes a shirt and puts it in the gas tank and blows a Police car than flips off the one kid, and he says rude f**ingoll.
    2. Child's play 2. This movie is probably high up a lot of people, but there's one movie that is a little better, in my opinion. Buy what can i say about this movie that many people haven't said. It's a great sequel that follows up the first movie where chicky is still after his revenge. All the characters are likable. My favorite scene is when Andy is in detention, and he speaks out the window, but the teacher comes back and Chucky kills her with a Ruler
    1.Childs play the original. This is where it all started. I really enjoy how the first half is lime everyone trying to think chucky is real or not and the second half is like your typical slasher film.

    Don't mean to be a Donnie Downer but this film franchise is terrible! How any serious fan of Horror cinema enjoys these movies is beyond me.
    I've watched six of the eight and they we're not very good in my opinion. I've never understood the attraction to them. I suppose if you began viewing them when you were really young and you were drawn to the character because it was a doll I guess I could see it but otherwise not so much.

      If we all liked the same stuff the world would be a pretty boring place. I saw the first film when I was in my 20s, and I was drawn to it more because it was a fun slasher than anything to do with the fact that the killer was a doll. And, as a horror fan in my late 50's, I enjoy films with 'tiny terrors' like the Chucky films, Puppet Master, Ghoulies, etc.. So, you may not like it, but the reason they continue to make them, and have a successful series, its because millions of people enjoy Chucky.
