About the Child's Play saga
Chucky is cinema's most famous killer doll. In 'Child's Play' (1988), directed by Tom Holland, the strangler Charles Lee Ray transfers his soul into a Good Guy doll before dying, and young Andy Barclay becomes his target. He was created by writer Don Mancini, who has written every film in the series, and has been voiced from the start by Brad Dourif.
After 'Child's Play 2' (1990) and 'Child's Play 3' (1991), the series reinvented itself with darker humour in 'Bride of Chucky' (1998), with Jennifer Tilly as Tiffany, and 'Seed of Chucky' (2004), the first directed by Mancini himself.
Mancini brought back the horror in 'Curse of Chucky' (2013) and 'Cult of Chucky' (2017), and the story continued on television with the series 'Chucky' (2021-2024). Apart from all of these is 'Child's Play' (2019), a remake with Mark Hamill voicing the doll.
