When I was younger, my friend and I would obsess over Chucky. We would dream up all the ways we could torture that evil doll. That was the only real monster/psycho we could handle. We couldn't deal with Jason, Freddy, Michael Myers, and later Candyman so Chucky became the one abomination we would dream of harming to get even.
I just saw Child's Play 2019 and it prompted me to rewatch the original.
The original is so much better. Brad Dourif as the voice of Chucky/The Good Guy doll was perfect. He was so sinister sounding and crude he just sounded evil. He even made it into a rap song-Child's Play by Bushwick Bill (great song by the way).
This movie resonated with me as a kid so much because it was patterned after the My Buddy doll that was so huge. There was My Buddy and Kid Sister but dolls in general back then were big. Before iPhones and videogames took over there were dolls for boys and girls. Of course there was Barbie, then there were Cabbage Patch Kids, Glow Worms, My Buddy and some other lesser known dolls. So, the Good Guy Doll made so much sense.
Child's Play is a movie from a bygone era. It was the last of the popular 80's scary movies to spawn sequels. Chucky belongs in the scary movie bad guy hall of fame.
