Child's Play
A dying serial killer transfers his consciousness into a popular kids doll using voodoo. A struggling single mother gifts her six-year-old son the much sought-after doll for his birthday, and the doll slowly begins to show its true colors. When Charles Lee Ray needs to get a quick escape from cop Mike Norris, he takes his soul and buries it into playful, seemingly good guy doll Chucky. Little does he know a little boy by the name of Andy Barclay will be the new owner of him soon-to-come. Charles confides in Andy while he commits numerous murders and once the adults accept Andy's story as truth, it's too late. —Kris Hopson <kris.hopson@hotmail.com> Just like any good parent would do, Andy's mom gets him the doll Andy wanted for his birthday. However, this doll is actually the worst present anyone could get, for it is possessed by a serial killer, a killer who does not want to stop his killing spree no matter what body he is in. Now Andy must fight for his life or die. —Oscar Segarra For his sixth birthday, Andy Barclay (Alex Vincent) asks his mother, Karen (Catherine Hicks) to buy him a Good Guys doll that he wants. When a peddler has one for a good price, Karen buys the doll, not knowing that it is possessed by the ghost of the infamous murderer, Charles Lee Ray (Brad Dourif), who had used voodoo to imprison his spirit in the doll when he was gunned down so he could continue to murder people. When Andy is being babysat by his Aunt Maggie (Dinah Manoff), Charles Lee Ray, who is in a doll called 'Chucky,' feels the urge to kill someone and pushes Maggie from the kitchen window of the Barclays' fifth-floor apartment, thus letting his little secret slip out to Andy. After the police are called, Homicide Officer Mike Norris (Chris Sarandon), who, coincidentally happens to be the cop that shot Charles Lee Ray, comes to investigate the crime. When Andy tries to tell the adults that Chucky is the killer, they think he's mentally ill and want him institutionalized. When Karen finds out the truth about Chucky, she tries to tell Officer Norris that Andy isn't crazy, but Norris thinks she's being ridiculous and is demented as well. When she asks why he doesn't believe her, he tells her it's because he's sane. When Norris realizes Chucky really *is* alive, it looks like it may be too late. Is it too late for him, Andy, and Karen to make a comeback? —Seneca Lauren Andy Barclay wanted the latest craze, 'Good Guy' dolls, for his birthday. Nobody expected the soul of the Lakeshore Strangler to hide within. How long can anybody survive, being pursued by a murderous doll, let alone a small child? In the start of one of the horror genre's most infamous killers, Charles Lee Ray becomes immortalised alongside Voorhees and Krueger as a notorious slasher- and Andy as his petrified victim. —jamesmcook-04470
