Andy is a more capable final character than most these adults. That little boy was with the smoke. Also that scene of Andy crying in the psych ward always breaks my heart the acting is so good.
Brad Dourif’s voice work in this movie is iconic, and the animatronic puppetry was super impressive. The bts shows just how much love and effort was put into this.
Broooooo.... When I tell you that I feel your pain on getting teased by family about Chucky, I mean it 100%. Everybody I knew, and I mean everybody, gave me crap about Chucky. This movie came out the same year I was born and was on TV one time, and it scared the hell out of me. Everyone laughed in my face, "What, you're scared of a toy doll😂" " Yes, motherf&#$er, I'm 6 years old!"
I was never scared of him until this new kid in preschool started brining in this realistic chucky doll that was our size! He'd carry it around everywhere but would sometimes leave him standing in the dark hallway or something. The kid even looked like Andy but with longer hair!!
My friend was scared of Chucky as a kid for a while when someone in his family put his Chucky doll right next to his bedside in the middle of the night. Naturally, he woke up, saw it and it scared the shit out of him.
Bruh, they did the same to me and I was about 6 or 7 when they started to play it for me and tease me. Like MF, it's no animation involved. This mf is going to kill me. He gotta be real 😂😂
Trivias- 1.Don Mancini was inspired of the story Child's Play with the Cabbage Patch Kids Craze of the 1980's. He thought it would be good to write a satire about the marketing done to drive kids mad for these dolls. 2.Chucky's full name was a combination of three well known murderers. Charles Lee Ray. It was created from Charles Manson, Lee Harvey Oswald and James Earl Ray. 3.The man playing Dr Ardmore is Jack Colvin,maybe one of the best underrated actors from the 70s ,he was known for playing Mr Mcgee in The Incredible Hulk who always chased Banner/Hulk in a few episodes, his role in Child's Play was his last performance he ever made since he retired.He died in 2005.
4. One of the inspirations for Chucky was a real life haunted doll named Robert. Allegedly, whoever owned the Robert doll would become victim to several strange accidents. The Robert doll is currently on display in a glass case in a museum in Key West, Florida. Apparently, people are warned to not take Robert’s picture without asking the doll for permission first. Those who disregard the warning and take the photo of Robert without asking permission will suffer from tragic accidents.
@@aniboo72 His physical appearance was. The fact that the Good Guy Dolls were the hottest thing on the market was based on the Cabbage Patch Dolls. And the whole “possessed doll” aspect was based on the real life possessed doll, Robert.
Andy is the O.G. kickass kid, and he is Chucky’s Dr. Loomis, lol! Throughout the series, Andy, as played by Alex Vincent from child to adult, is Chucky’s main nemesis.
The kid who played Andy actually still does in the TV show. While he was recast for 3 and didn't show up for two movies, the original child actor returns to play Andy in any adult appearances. Aside from that, he also does a lot of behind the scenes work for other shows and movies, mostly sound design and editing.
I don’t remember if it’s explained in this movie or not but Chucky has all his strength as a full grown man, that’s why he can overpower for his size even though people have made fun and said just kick him but yeah that’s why 😂
I was the weird kid that walked around with a Chucky doll instead of a baby doll, eventually his wife Tiffany too. I hope you do the franchise! You'll love Bride of Chucky
Charles Lee Ray aka Chucky is played by the legendary Brad Dourif who also plays Wormtongue in "Lord Of The Rings". He's done other cool horror too. The first three Chucky's are pretty solid and the ones after are campily ok, but if you really want a little doll to scare you, watch "Trilogy of Terror" with the Zuni doll- you won't be disappointed.
@@madcapmakov2 @mellverse check this out with alittle movie{imagination} the scene with the mother grabbing the doll,she than checked the batteries to see if theres a set already installed. after chucky literally rotates his head to scare her she drops him(which pisses him off cause he doesnt like to be dropped or disrespected)..

Chucky is one of the first horror franchises I watched growing up and it’s still one of my favs. The sequels are great in each of their own way some of my favs include CP 2, Bride (4) & Curse (6) but I still highly recommend watching all of them as well. Brad Dourif is such a legend! Also the show is really great too. Chucky will always & never not be iconic!!!!!
@@RC-nv4bhthe TV series imho is way better then the movies, I can't talk for other ppl, fun fact some doesn't know this but the series serves as a sequel to Cult of Chucky

I have a strong love for this franchise. I found out when i was a kid my cousin dinah played aunt maggie in this film so i out aside my usual aversion to horror films to watch it and then i pretty much got hooked on the genre
High praise for Alex Vincent. Not only could he hold his own with the adult actors in this movie, it's been intriguing watching him play the character of Andy Barclay over the past 40 years. I hope you do continue watching the movies of this franchise.
This movie scared the hell out of me when I was younger, I saw this when on HBO when I was 3-4 years old Steven Spielberg was going to direct the film, but picked Tom Holland as he enjoyed Holland's 1985 Comedy Horror film Fright Night. A lot of directors were considered for the project: William Friedkin, Robert Altman, Robert Wise, Irvin Kershner, Joseph Reuben, Rocky Morton and Annabelle Jenkell.
Chucky scared tf out of me as a kid responsible for one of my scariest nightmares but as an adult I love the little fucker. Slashers with personalities are my favorite. Alex Vincent who played Andy was such an adorable kid the scene where he’s crying for help hits a lot harder as an adult.
I was a weird kid... the exact opposite of you. I REALLY wanted to see this movie at 10 years old. My parents assumed I would be traumatized by it, and figured I didn't understand what the movie actually was so they refused to let me see it. Of course, then they went out one night and it was on HBO... and I watched it happily. I LOVED IT... yes, it was scary, but as we all know that's the point. I still love the series to this day... IMO the only low-lights are Bride and Seed, but I've even come around on them more over the years... The TV series is pretty great too, even if it ignores a lot of the rules previously established in the movies willy-nilly.
Same here! My ass was scared af but that was what I wanted. I have so much respect and love for the franchise. Its an easy comfort horror movie for me!
Soon to be turning 35 years old on November 9th, this year. Way back when studios were trying to make that next, new horror character. Child's Play was one of the most creative concepts of the era.

Dude, I had a life-size doll. My older brother rigged it to move, then had me watch the movie, and because I wanted to be cool, I watched it with him. Being under 10, I was trying to show him I could handle it. Well, when it was over, he said I should probably go to bed since it was late. As I was walking down the dark hallway to my room, he pulled the sting he had attached to my doll, and it fell out of my bedroom door. Man, I have never ran so fast before, back to the couch, and would not go back to sleep until my mom got home later that evening. He got grounded for like a month, and I didn't want to see or know where that doll went ever again.
I was terrified of Chucky as a kid, possessed dolls really freaked me out. To make things worse my grandpa was fairly talented with his ventriloquist dummy and "Joe" had a mischievous personality.
So glad Brad Dourif has been apart of everything, Chucky and Brad are one. No one else can portray this doll. That's one of the main reasons we still hang with it. Giving consistancy.
1:08 Funny thing about the Tom Holland joke. I remember when Tom Holland the actor was announced for Spider-Man, the director Tom Holland literally made a tweet saying “Yes it’s true. I’m Spider-Man.”
Man I had the same fear of Chucky too, but my first time seeing him was at a Spencer’s store and every single one of them had a stitched up Chucky doll. My parents liked going to Spencer’s even though they knew I hate that doll, but they couldn’t just leave outside of the store so my dad’s idea to help me face my fear was to tell me to go up to the doll and just poke it in the head just show me it’s just a doll, but that didn’t do anything for me. That is until I got older and I started to learn more about Chucky I started get less and less scared of him. It was through understanding who the character of Chucky was, was how I got over my fear of him.
The real terror was for kids like me who had a My Buddy and then watched Child's Play. I swear, mine came to life that same night and I never saw it again. I honestly couldn't tell you where it went. lol. I hate this movie when I was really young, but as I got older, I loved it, especially Child's Play 2. It's my favorite one. Also, the series is a good time! It really wouldn't be that hard to quickly get into and go, Mello.
Hahaha, that's how we reacted to Chucky back in the day! People sleep on how scary something like that could be. And the animatronics or whatever was on point.
100% you should continue with the franchise. Btw I also was terrified of Chucky as a kid but always loved it anyway. The show is pretty good as well it’s a lot of fun. Child’s play 2 is widely considered the best there is so at the very least you should do a video on that one.
Mel, I literally had the same experience with family saying they was gonna get me a Chucky doll. It was one way my parents got me to stop acting up and getting in trouble lol. I was Four when the movie came out and actually went to the theater to see it, not actually knowing what it was about. Was terrified honestly up til around 12
I can relate to how some of my relatives would try to scare me using Chucky. One of them had like a Chucky Movie with a weird movie case, that had him and his murder weapons
I got into this franchise recently absolutely love it. And I have a feeling based on your love for Evil Dead that you'll love this franchise as well. The first two films TRY to stay in that horror realm, but to me kinda fail at it. Hard to be scared of a doll unless the movie version of Annabelle. But that has more to do with the fact it's a porcelain doll rather than the doll itself. But Child's Play 3, and and the two films after it lean into camp and comedy, sometimes going full comedy. Then Curse of Chucky and Cult of Chucky go back to the horror roots, though Cult has a bit more of the campy comedy, while Curse is (in my opinion) the scariest of the films. And then there's the show, which is balls to the walls insane. And insanely funny, too.
Love how Mello be like the cgi looks impeccable when theres none in the whole movie it's just animatronics, practical effects and the occasional stunt double for far shots
Omg when you mention your family use to make jokes about your fear of chucky, my family was the same way! They still do it till this day! Like i have an irrational fear of tht doll and ughh still gives me chills
Scariest moment for me was at the end when Chucky was all burned up and slowly walking towards Andy with that knife (and it looked like he was growing slightly with each step~) Also he's brought back from the morons who made the Good Guy Doll...they just HAD TO "remake" that particular doll...
I remember being about 6 when I the trailers for this on TV, when it was about to come to theaters. I was terrified of jist the trailers, so I couldn't take this movie, whenever I'd come across it by accident, flipping channels once it showed up on cable. When number 2 came out, I finally toughened up and forced myself to watch it. Mainly because the protagonist was a little boy the same age as me. These movies were my gateway into horror. Nightmares were definitely had, but seriously love this series. Specifically the first four movies. Great reaction!
As and adult and an uncle seeing this movie again the part where andy is crying saying please dont leave me made me want to jump in the movie and hug him comfort him and rip chuckys heart out with my bare hands.
I hate how Chucky took this cute child's innocence! I cried how he begged to be saved... Hearing how scared he was, I wouldn't need a second thought I would grab the keys and do anything in my power to protect him! 😭
The chucky franchise gets campy after the 3rd movie and plays more into comedy. the last 2 movies go back to their more horror/serious route. the show takes place after the last movies and is actually pretty fun and enjoyable.
there's a guy that went to the filming locations for this in chicago (video on youtube) and all the places are still standing except for the house with the rats. Believe it or not, all the buildings were really close to each other, except Andy's house. I've always been in love with the building they lived in, it's an actual building and the interior is the same. So you know the apartment was real too as opposed to a set. Its crazy how Karen is shooting into the 7th floor apartment and all this noise yet no one hears it LMAO. But seriously, that apartment was huge, looks like it takes half a floor. I could of sworn it was a 1 floor house.
So excited hopefully you do the second one at least also because it's really good. Definitely watch childs play 2 you will like it if you liked this one
I first saw this movie and omg I had nightmares of freaking chunky running round my bed with his creepy ass laugh and holding his knife ready to end me omg
Lol, a lot of kids were scarred by this movie, especially me since my dad loved to say, “You better get it together or Chucky gonna getcha”😂😂😂 but he not even scary anymore, he mad funny now
To answer your question, $100 in 1988 (which is when the movie takes place) would cost $257 today. If you react to all these movies, watch the "Chucky" series, especially since they bring Andy back and explains how things lead up to the first movie. some Trivia: Andy's actor, Alex Vincent, didn't want to curse during the film so he intentionally "forgot" his lines while filming.
I feel you! I recently rewatched the film to confront my fears because I have two reasons for being afraid of Chucky. Firstly, I saw him in a picture on a satirical show in my country when I was twelve years old. For two weeks in a row, I had literal nightmares, and everyone around me teased me because "you are twelve; you should not be afraid of a doll!" Two, I was 21 years old when I eventually saw the film, which was seven years ago. I was so uneasy that I vowed never to watch it again. I chose to rewatch it a month ago. However, it went better ...
The tv series is great, but you need to get through all the films first, as it is a direct continuation from the last one. This series does a great job building lore and continuity. I recommend watching them all!
Funny you should mention Smeagol, considering that Brad Dourif played a *different* Lord of the Rings character (the evil advisor in Rohan) And scariest moment had to be the head-turn immediately after she sees Chucky has no batteries.
Nah not Smeagol but Wormtongue 😉If you know you know haha Nice reaction! Hope you react to the rest of the films and the series eventually! The next one is considered the best of the franchise by most fans.
The scariest part of the movie for me was afterwards when every adult around us children would scare us with “My Buddy” dolls…I’m blanking in the exact name. If not those then, a legit Chucky doll haha 😂….such wonderful role models 🙄 😂
There was a scene where the mother is demanding Chucky to speak... there was a meme as well. If you all know BTS the Kpop group... this meme always make me laugh.. they added Jin's angry rap over Chucky's voice. That part cracks me up with Jin's angry rap.. 😅😂😂 if you all know that
One of the best Chucky films. This one is the only one that really had much intrigue. This and Curse are top tier suspense and tension. Any of the others tend to play with comedy and quips.
When i tell you this movie traumatized me, this movie made me fearful of this doll for years. I was 6 when i saw this movie and i was fresh off the imagination of Toy Story and thinking toys came to life when you weren’t looking. When i saw Chucky killing i was so freaked out i couldn’t sleep with my toys anymore. For the longest time i couldn’t walk past Spencer’s when they had the Chucky doll on display or the billboards for his movies, i couldn’t even watch the commercials and i would turn it away or run out the room. When i acted up, my dad would say if i didn’t stop being bad, he would put me in the closet with Chucky 😂😂😂 i finally got out of my fear at 15 years old. Now i watch every singly Chucky installment there is.
"Some people IRL own an Annabelle doll". Oh yea, I went to some figurine shop and opposite to a wall of Funko Pops there she was, a half-sized replica of Annabelle, next to a desktop version in her little glass case. Of course next to a Chucky doll.
I was so scared of dolls as a kid because of Chucky. My great grandmother had a room FULL of porcelain dolls. Like 30+ in a tiny room. Well, she gifted one to my Mom. My Mom then thought it was fun to lock me in the closet with it. I was horrified. But now I love Chucky and am not scared of dolls so it's all good.
Andy is a more capable final character than most these adults. That little boy was with the smoke.
Also that scene of Andy crying in the psych ward always breaks my heart the acting is so good.
Yes, even watching this review I shed a tear.
To this day the actor has to reasure people that he didnt really think the doll wanted to kill him😂😂😂
Brad Dourif’s voice work in this movie is iconic, and the animatronic puppetry was super impressive. The bts shows just how much love and effort was put into this.
He looked the best in the first one
Did you comment this in another reaction for this movie?
They also used this animatronic for daft punks technologic music video, very weird but also very daft punk lol
Factzzz this is iconic ❤
His screams are iconic too 😂
"This kid is gonna be traumatized."
Understatement of the century. Andy *lives* in trauma now.
Yep. I hope he's in S3 part 2

My parents liked going to Spencer’s even though they knew I hate that doll, but they couldn’t just leave outside of the store so my dad’s idea to help me face my fear was to tell me to go up to the doll and just poke it in the head just show me it’s just a doll, but that didn’t do anything for me.
That is until I got older and I started to learn more about Chucky I started get less and less scared of him. It was through understanding who the character of Chucky was, was how I got over my fear of him.
The real terror was for kids like me who had a My Buddy and then watched Child's Play. I swear, mine came to life that same night and I never saw it again. I honestly couldn't tell you where it went. lol. I hate this movie when I was really young, but as I got older, I loved it, especially Child's Play 2. It's my favorite one. Also, the series is a good time! It really wouldn't be that hard to quickly get into and go, Mello.
Hahaha, that's how we reacted to Chucky back in the day! People sleep on how scary something like that could be.
And the animatronics or whatever was on point.
they explain in the tv show that the voodoo powers give whatever chucky transfers his soul into the strength of a full grown person
100% you should continue with the franchise. Btw I also was terrified of Chucky as a kid but always loved it anyway. The show is pretty good as well it’s a lot of fun. Child’s play 2 is widely considered the best there is so at the very least you should do a video on that one.
18:44 not “beat my m3@t I had a rough day” 🤣💀
“I’m gonna BEAT MY 🥩, I HAD W ROUGH DAY.” IS CRAZY!!!!! 😂😂😂😂
Mel, I literally had the same experience with family saying they was gonna get me a Chucky doll. It was one way my parents got me to stop acting up and getting in trouble lol. I was Four when the movie came out and actually went to the theater to see it, not actually knowing what it was about. Was terrified honestly up til around 12
I can relate to how some of my relatives would try to scare me using Chucky. One of them had like a Chucky Movie with a weird movie case, that had him and his murder weapons
I have that collection box. My niece ruined the first 2 movies though.
I got into this franchise recently absolutely love it. And I have a feeling based on your love for Evil Dead that you'll love this franchise as well. The first two films TRY to stay in that horror realm, but to me kinda fail at it. Hard to be scared of a doll unless the movie version of Annabelle. But that has more to do with the fact it's a porcelain doll rather than the doll itself. But Child's Play 3, and and the two films after it lean into camp and comedy, sometimes going full comedy. Then Curse of Chucky and Cult of Chucky go back to the horror roots, though Cult has a bit more of the campy comedy, while Curse is (in my opinion) the scariest of the films. And then there's the show, which is balls to the walls insane. And insanely funny, too.
my favorite reactor reacting to my favorite horror movies, my night just got a whole lot better 😭
Love how Mello be like the cgi looks impeccable when theres none in the whole movie it's just animatronics, practical effects and the occasional stunt double for far shots
everytime u just I bust out laughim😅😊😮😮😂😂😂❤
Omg when you mention your family use to make jokes about your fear of chucky, my family was the same way! They still do it till this day! Like i have an irrational fear of tht doll and ughh still gives me chills
Scariest moment for me was at the end when Chucky was all burned up and slowly walking towards Andy with that knife (and it looked like he was growing slightly with each step~)
Also he's brought back from the morons who made the Good Guy Doll...they just HAD TO "remake" that particular doll...
I remember being about 6 when I the trailers for this on TV, when it was about to come to theaters. I was terrified of jist the trailers, so I couldn't take this movie, whenever I'd come across it by accident, flipping channels once it showed up on cable. When number 2 came out, I finally toughened up and forced myself to watch it. Mainly because the protagonist was a little boy the same age as me. These movies were my gateway into horror. Nightmares were definitely had, but seriously love this series. Specifically the first four movies. Great reaction!
As and adult and an uncle seeing this movie again the part where andy is crying saying please dont leave me made me want to jump in the movie and hug him comfort him and rip chuckys heart out with my bare hands.
I hate how Chucky took this cute child's innocence! I cried how he begged to be saved...
Hearing how scared he was, I wouldn't need a second thought I would grab the keys and do anything in my power to protect him! 😭
The chucky franchise gets campy after the 3rd movie and plays more into comedy. the last 2 movies go back to their more horror/serious route. the show takes place after the last movies and is actually pretty fun and enjoyable.
there's a guy that went to the filming locations for this in chicago (video on youtube) and all the places are still standing except for the house with the rats. Believe it or not, all the buildings were really close to each other, except Andy's house. I've always been in love with the building they lived in, it's an actual building and the interior is the same. So you know the apartment was real too as opposed to a set. Its crazy how Karen is shooting into the 7th floor apartment and all this noise yet no one hears it LMAO. But seriously, that apartment was huge, looks like it takes half a floor. I could of sworn it was a 1 floor house.
So excited hopefully you do the second one at least also because it's really good. Definitely watch childs play 2 you will like it if you liked this one
Brad Dourif did the most amazing job in The Exorcist 3, which I would highly recommend as it it the true sequel to the original Exorcist.
Hell yeah! Child’s play reaction! ❤️ Cant wait for more horror movie reactions.
I was lowkey scared to check cabinets as a kid because I thought Chucky was hiding in them 😅
I first saw this movie and omg I had nightmares of freaking chunky running round my bed with his creepy ass laugh and holding his knife ready to end me omg
Lol, a lot of kids were scarred by this movie, especially me since my dad loved to say, “You better get it together or Chucky gonna getcha”😂😂😂 but he not even scary anymore, he mad funny now
To answer your question, $100 in 1988 (which is when the movie takes place) would cost $257 today. If you react to all these movies, watch the "Chucky" series, especially since they bring Andy back and explains how things lead up to the first movie.
some Trivia: Andy's actor, Alex Vincent, didn't want to curse during the film so he intentionally "forgot" his lines while filming.
Keep watching these old movies! Your take on them is seriously the best! 🤣👏
I gotta see you go through the rest of the franchise melo you’ll love it. The current show is fantastic as well.
One of the happiest scenes I rewatch over and over again is when Chucky gets shot in the heart and his agonizing wails. THAT makes me happy
Hey Mell Great reaction of Child's Play Most definitely you have to watch part 2, and 3 I recommend it.
This was a GAMEchanger for horror back in the 90s
I feel you! I recently rewatched the film to confront my fears because I have two reasons for being afraid of Chucky. Firstly, I saw him in a picture on a satirical show in my country when I was twelve years old. For two weeks in a row, I had literal nightmares, and everyone around me teased me because "you are twelve; you should not be afraid of a doll!" Two, I was 21 years old when I eventually saw the film, which was seven years ago. I was so uneasy that I vowed never to watch it again. I chose to rewatch it a month ago. However, it went better ...
The voice of Chucky is the actor who played wormtongue, in the lord of the rings.❤❤❤
Fun fact mellow Damballa is a ancient voodoo god with the appearance of a white snake
19:12 because the voodoo spell gives him his human strength while in the doll so he’s still strong
When I first saw this movie and I saw Andy crying, I felt so bad for him. Mostly because nobody believed him
The tv series is great, but you need to get through all the films first, as it is a direct continuation from the last one. This series does a great job building lore and continuity. I recommend watching them all!
The fact that I know this movie word for word through and through 😅😅
So weird you said he looks like Smeagul - when he actually looks like Wormtongue.... because he is Wormtongue.😂😂
Please watch the sequels!!! Love the Chucky movies!!!
Funny you should mention Smeagol, considering that Brad Dourif played a *different* Lord of the Rings character (the evil advisor in Rohan)
And scariest moment had to be the head-turn immediately after she sees Chucky has no batteries.
“Sorry Jack, Mell is back”
There was no CGI all of the effects were practical ❤
Honestly surprised that such a smart and resourceful kid, was so damn clumsy at making breakfast 😂
23:15 i always thought that but ive heard alot of people say he difnt play tbe part well,i think he smashed it
fun fact: in the scene where chucky runs behind aunt maggie in the living room, chucky is played by alex vincent's (andy's) little sister.
I can confirm a Good Guy costs 600 bones. I totally didn’t spend that much just to have a Chucky doll
20:09 the way he said it 😂😂😂😂
One thing about Chucky in this film is the more he spent time in that body, the more realistic he looked because he was becoming more human
"Yeah, after you clean the kitchen, that's one of things." 😂
I grew up on Chucky. 😂😂😂😂 Great reaction Mello! 👍🏿
Nah not Smeagol but Wormtongue 😉If you know you know haha
Nice reaction! Hope you react to the rest of the films and the series eventually! The next one is considered the best of the franchise by most fans.
Bro your reaction is priceless 💯 gained a sub
Finally ! I remember you saying you haven’t seen this and I’m so excited for your reaction ! :)
Lol I saw a scene of Chucky running when I was 5, next morning all my dolls were in the trash 😂😭😭😭
I watched this movie for the first time when I was five. And all I remember is laughing at it lmao
My favorite part of this movie was when she found out he's been operating without batteries. That gave me goosebumps when I first watched that.
My dude, the voice actor Brad Douriff did SUCH a good job with Chucky. The whole franchise!
When I was younger Chucky scared the crap out of me! I feel you on the childhood fears Mell! Thank you for your reactions they are always awesome
The scariest part of the movie for me was afterwards when every adult around us children would scare us with “My Buddy” dolls…I’m blanking in the exact name. If not those then, a legit Chucky doll haha 😂….such wonderful role models 🙄 😂
I really hope you continue with this series. Your reaction to this movie is awesome, both funny yet critical.
There was a scene where the mother is demanding Chucky to speak... there was a meme as well. If you all know BTS the Kpop group... this meme always make me laugh.. they added Jin's angry rap over Chucky's voice. That part cracks me up with Jin's angry rap.. 😅😂😂 if you all know that
Brought my chucky doll to work today 😂 hehe now I getting watch this
One of the best Chucky films. This one is the only one that really had much intrigue.
This and Curse are top tier suspense and tension. Any of the others tend to play with comedy and quips.
When i tell you this movie traumatized me, this movie made me fearful of this doll for years. I was 6 when i saw this movie and i was fresh off the imagination of Toy Story and thinking toys came to life when you weren’t looking. When i saw Chucky killing i was so freaked out i couldn’t sleep with my toys anymore. For the longest time i couldn’t walk past Spencer’s when they had the Chucky doll on display or the billboards for his movies, i couldn’t even watch the commercials and i would turn it away or run out the room. When i acted up, my dad would say if i didn’t stop being bad, he would put me in the closet with Chucky 😂😂😂 i finally got out of my fear at 15 years old. Now i watch every singly Chucky installment there is.
Mellverse my bro, I’m so hyped your starting this franchise
"Some people IRL own an Annabelle doll". Oh yea, I went to some figurine shop and opposite to a wall of Funko Pops there she was, a half-sized replica of Annabelle, next to a desktop version in her little glass case. Of course next to a Chucky doll.
I was so scared of dolls as a kid because of Chucky. My great grandmother had a room FULL of porcelain dolls. Like 30+ in a tiny room.
Well, she gifted one to my Mom. My Mom then thought it was fun to lock me in the closet with it.
I was horrified.
But now I love Chucky and am not scared of dolls so it's all good.
That sounds horrific 😢
I'm sorry that happened to you
@@Regmuslima Lol it was. But thank you!
My grandma had a shit ton too.
I remember as a kid, whenever Chucky appeared on TV I would always cry out of fear.
A real life size chucky and actual good guy doll also Tiffany and Glen go for $500 a piece. They are sold at a local con I go to every year
Fun Fact: In most of the scenes where you see Chucky moving around, that's an actual actor.
