The 1988 original Child’s Play introduces us to Charles Lee Ray, a serial killer who uses voodoo to transfer his soul into a Good Guy doll to escape death. The doll, Chucky, is soon discovered by a young boy named Andy, leading to a series of horrifying events as Chucky attempts to possess the boy. Directed by Tom Holland (no, not Spider-Man), this original film is essential for understanding the origins of Chucky.
Child’s Play 2 is set two years later and follows Andy, now in foster care, as he once again faces the terror of Chucky. The doll is rebuilt by the toy company to cover up the events of the first film, but Chucky’s relentless pursuit of Andy continues.
In Child’s Play 3, Andy is now a teenager in military school. However, Chucky once again returns, still determined to transfer his soul into Andy's body.
After a seven-year break, Chucky returns with a twist. Bride of Chucky introduces Tiffany, Chucky’s former lover, who brings him back to life. This film leans more heavily into dark comedy, giving the franchise a fresh new tone while still delivering plenty of bloodshed.
Seed of Chucky takes the comedic elements even further, following Chucky and Tiffany's child, Glen/Glenda, who resurrects their parents.
After several comedic films, Curse of Chucky brings the franchise back to its horror roots. The film introduces Nica Pierce, a woman in a wheelchair who becomes Chucky’s next target.
Cult of Chucky takes the mythology of the series even further by introducing multiple Chucky dolls, all possessed by the same soul. Nica returns, and the film features the return of Andy Barclay, now an adult, who continues to battle his old nemesis.
The Chucky TV series picks up after the events of Cult of Chucky, following a new group of characters in a small town as they uncover the deadly history of the possessed doll. The series also revisits older characters like Tiffany, Andy, and Nica.
The 2019 Child's Play reboot reimagines Chucky for a modern audience, replacing the voodoo possession with a malfunctioning AI doll. While this film is not connected to the mainline series, it offers an interesting take on the killer doll concept, with Mark Hamill lending his voice to Chucky.
