Childs Play (1988-2013)

Child's Play is a 1988 American horror film directed by Tom Holland and written by Don Mancini,

John Lafia and Holland. It stars Catherine Hicks, Chris Sarandon, Alex Vincent, and Brad Dourif. The official taglines of the film are "You'll wish it was only make-believe" and "Something's moved in with the Barclay family, and so has terror."

The film was released on November 9, 1988 and was met with moderate success. It has since developed a cult following among fans of the horror genre. The film is the first in the Child's Play film series, and is the first movie to feature the killer doll Chucky. It was the only film in the series released by MGM/UA, as the rights to the series were sold to Universal Studios in 1990, right before production on Child's Play 2 started.





Child's Play 2 (also known as Child's Play 2: Chucky's Back) is a 1990 American horror film, the sequel to Child's Play, written by Don Mancini and directed by John Lafia (one of the original film's writers).

It was released on November 9, 1990, exactly two years after the first film was released. Veteran actors Gerrit Graham and BAFTA-winner Jenny Agutter star as Andy's foster parents. The film also stars Alex Vincent, who returns as Andy Barclay; Christine Elise as Kyle; and Brad Dourif as the voice of Chucky. It is also noted for being the first film appearance of Adam Wylie and featuring an early appearance by Ally McBeal's Greg Germann. The film uses more comic elements in regards to the Chucky character than its predecessor.

Child's Play 2 was successful as a horror film; during its opening weekend, it took an estimated $10,718,520, with only 1,996 screens in the US. The film grossed an estimated $28,501,605 in the US and was declared a hit. It grossed an additional $7.2 million internationally. The film received mixed reviews, and was rated "R" by the MPAA (R16 in New Zealand) for horror scenes and violence.





Child's Play 3 (also known as Child's Play 3: Look Who's Stalking!) is a 1991 horror film. It is the third installment in the Child's Play series with Brad Dourif returning as the voice of Chucky.

The film became notorious in the United Kingdom when it was suggested it might have inspired the real-life murder of British child James Bulger, a suggestion rejected by officers investigating the case.


one of the best horror series made

All three as well as Bride of Chucky and Seed of Chucky, were terrible imo. I have no idea how this series became so popular.

Bride of Chucky (also known as Child's Play 4: Bride of Chucky or Child's Play 4) is a 1998 horror comedy film distributed by Universal Pictures and New Line Cinema. It is the fourth installment in the Child's Play film series. The film is written by Don Mancini and directed by Ronny Yu. It stars Jennifer Tilly (who plays and voices the titular character Tiffany) and Brad Dourif (who voices Chucky), as well as John Ritter, Katherine Heigl, and Nick Stabile.

The film marks the point where the Child's Play series takes a more humorous turn and often into self-referential parody. It doesn't continue on with the concept of a child victim in possession of the doll, thus the absence of Child's Play in the title. Bride of Chucky follows the events of Child's Play 3: Look Who's Stalking in continuity, but not tonally or in a continuation of those films' overall plot (where Chucky pursued the character Andy Barclay). This film also marks Chucky's new permanent look, a more frightening appearance in which his face is covered in stitches, staples, and scars following his fate in Child's Play 3.





Seed of Chucky is a 2004 comedy horror film and the fifth installment in the Child's Play series. The film was written and directed by Don Mancini, who created Child's Play and has written all of the films in the series. With this entry, Mancini marked his directorial debut.

Seed of Chucky follows the events of the previous film and once again stars Jennifer Tilly (who plays herself and also voices Tiffany), Billy Boyd (as the voice of Glen), Brad Dourif (as Chucky), Steve Lawton (as Stan). The film features rapper Reginald Noble, cult director John Waters, and S Club 7 star Hannah Spearritt.

The film, shot in Romania, continues the series' evolution from the pure-horror genre of the first film to a hybrid horror-comedy. It is also the first (and to date, only) appearance of Glen, the title character and son of Chucky and Tiffany. Besides spoofing other horror films, the film references domestic dramas and tabloid television. This film also counts as the first film in the series to contain nudity and so far, the final film to be released in theaters (until 9 years later when it's sequel was released straight to video. The film was mainly panned by many critics, despite having a decent performance at the box office.









Curse of Chucky is a 2013 American horror film written and directed by Don Mancini, who created the franchise and has written all films to date. It is the sixth installment in the Child's Play franchise. It stars Brad Dourif as Chucky, as well as Fiona Dourif, Danielle Bisutti, A Martinez and Brennan Elliott. Curse of Chucky returns to the franchise's source material and bringing back the straightforward horror elements found in the original three Child's Play films. The film marks the return of Andy Barclay, the franchise's original protagonist in the first three films. Alex Vincent, who originally played Barclay in Child's Play and Child's Play 2, reprises his role. It was distributed by Universal Studios Home Entertainment.

The film, which went into production in September 2012, is the first direct-to-video installment of the series. The film has been rated R by the MPAA for bloody horror violence, and for language.[1]

Curse of Chucky debuted via VOD, September 24, 2013, and was followed by a DVD and Blu-ray Disc release, October 8, 2013, in the United States. The film was also turned into a scare zone for 2013's annual Halloween Horror Nights.

I used to laugh when I saw these movies. They were a lot of fun to watch!

Watching them back now they are terrible films..

First is my favorite, seed of chucky was just terrible.

Ive got a Mezco 15" Chucky Doll in my collection.

Nice, just don't forget it's not real in the night..

There are a few horror movies I consider "Fun to watch" horror flicks. Tremors is one and Chucky is one too (the first two anyway). I do find Chucky very creepy and his voice is scary to.

However, when they got to Chucky & his Bride and The Seed of Chucky, it is somewhat jumping the shark I'd say.
