The first installment, Child 's Play, was released on November 9, 1988. The film has spawned six sequels and has gone into other media, such as comic books. The films are all centered on Charles Lee Ray ( played by Dourif ) aka Chucky, a notorious serial killer known as the `` Lakeshore Strangler '' whose soul is trapped inside a Good Guy doll following a voodoo ritual to avoid the afterlife and possibly going to hell. The first, second, and fourth films were box office successes with all of the films earning over $182 million worldwide. Including revenues from sales of videos, DVDs, VOD and merchandise, the franchise has generated over $250 million. The series originally started out as straight horror with the first installment Child 's Play, which appears to have more psychological horror elements while its successors are straightforward slasher films with elements of dark humour. As the films progressed, they became satirical and campy, until the series briefly became a gothic horror comedy, beginning with 1998 's Bride of Chucky and 2004 's Seed of Chucky. On June 23, 2012, it was confirmed that a new film of the franchise would be made under the title Curse of Chucky and be released direct - to - video. Unlike Bride and Seed, Curse of Chucky is a full - fledged horror film much like the original three installments. However, it does maintain the campy humour to a small degree. Since 1998 's Bride of Chucky, titles have no longer been released under the Child 's Play brand name and now use the Chucky brand name and will continue to do so with future installments. Chucky has also appeared in TV commercials. It also won a Saturn Award for the Best Horror Franchise. Several short films have been made featuring Chucky : on the DVD release of Seed of Chucky, a short film entitled Chucky 's Vacation Slides, set during the events of the film, was included, and a series of short films inserting Chucky into the events of four other films entitled Chucky Invades was released in the run - up to the release of Curse of Chucky ; the films included in the series are The Purge, Mama, Drag Me to Hell and Psycho. Chucky has also appeared on Saturday Night Live, with a separate voice actor voicing the character. A seventh installment, titled Cult of Chucky was released on October 3, 2017.

The doll is found by a homeless peddler and sold to Karen Barclay, who gives it to her son Andy as a birthday gift. As time goes on Chucky has to get his soul out of the doll before it turns human and the transfer becomes permanent, and thus has to possess the first person he told his secret to - Andy.

With a new `` Good Guy '' doll body brings the possibility of possessing a new human body, Chucky attempts to restore his soul to human form through Tyler as Andy attempts to stop the killer Good Guy doll once and for all. Bride of Chucky ( 1998 ) Main article : Bride of Chucky The film picks up about a month after the events of the Child 's Play 3. Unlike the first three films, this film focuses entirely on Chucky and Tiffany. Charles Lee Ray 's former girlfriend and his accomplice, Tiffany, acquires Chucky 's remains, stitches them together and via a voodoo ritual revives Charles Lee Ray, albeit in a much different form. Chucky kills Tiffany, transferring her soul into a bride doll, and the two maniacs force a young couple to bring them to Ray 's grave, where Chucky plans to use a voodoo amulet to finally get a new body. In the end, the Tiffany doll gives birth to a new form of life ( Glen / Glenda ) as it flies out of a now dead Tiffany and attacks a detective. No one knows whether the detective is dead or alive as the screen cuts to black and closing credits roll.

Nine years after the events of the fifth film, Chucky is delivered to the family home of Nica and Sarah Pierce, where Chucky terrorizes and kills the family one by one.

Nica survives, but is institutionalized, and blamed for the murders. Chucky is collected by Tiffany, who delivers him to Alice. Chucky successfully transfers his soul into Alice 's body which will be explained in Cult of Chucky, as he does the soul ritual the camera moves to reveal Alice 's grandmother emerging from the basement, with a plastic bag around her head, slowly dying.

But in the end, Nica ends up being possessed by Chucky, which causes her to regain the ability to walk and leaves with Tiffany. Future Sequels On October 28, 2014, in an interview with Bloody Disgusting, Don Mancini revealed plans for a film tentatively entitled Chucky on the Orient Express. `` The notion of Chucky on a train... I thought it would be interesting to do something where you 've got this archetypal or certainly stereotypical notion of the kid who says, ' The doll is alive and he 's doing this, ' but the kid befriends an old lady who 's also on the train. Like the old lady is the only one who will listen to this kid, and she 's like, ' Okay, tell me what you 're thinking. I believe that you believe it and let 's investigate it. ' As the story goes on it turns out that the old lady... and also the old lady has early onset Alzheimers. There 's just something, another reason ( why ) other people are n't listening to her either. But she turns out ( to be ) a charmed confidant of Chucky. '' In October 2017, Don Mancini confirmed that Billy Boyd would return as Seed of Chucky characters Glen and Glenda in a future Child 's Play film, and that references to the characters had been cut from Cult of Chucky. In an interview with Forbes later that month, Mancini confirmed that the ending of Cult of Chucky was designed in such a way so that a second line of films following various Chuckys of the Cult of Chucky introduced in Cult of Chucky, tentatively referred to by Scott Mendelson as Ultimate Child 's Play, has been considered. Chucky on Elm Street In the same interview with Bloody Disgusting in which he proposed Chucky on the Orient Express, Mancini revealed plans for a crossover film with the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, tentatively entitled Freddy vs. Chucky : Child 's Play on Elm Street. `` I would like to do Freddy and Chucky, just because I think they would be a fun double act, '' he explains. `` I 'm more really interested in the characters. My pitch for Freddy vs. Chucky is Child 's Play on Elm Street. Chucky ends up in some kid 's house on Elm Street, and Chucky and Freddy inevitably meet in the dreamscape. Chucky sleeps. Why not ? Chucky sleeps, Chucky dreams. And they have this admiration for each other. But they realize quickly that Elm Street is n't big enough for the two of them, so in a riff on Dirty Rotten Scoundrels they have a contest : who can kill the most teenagers before the sun comes up ? '' In September, in a separate interview with Cinema Blend, Mancini confirmed his intent to make the crossover film, describing it as `` cool and doable '', and confirmed the film to be entitled Child 's Play on Elm Street ; Mancini also stated that he is discussing the crossover with New Line Cinema. The foundation for a crossover film was previously laid in Bride of Chucky, in which Freddy Krueger 's bladed glove had appeared in the Lockport police evidence depository at the beginning of the film. Short films Chucky 's vacation Slides On the home media DVD and Blu - ray release of Seed of Chucky in 2005, a short film entitled Chucky 's Vacation Slides was included in the special features. The short, set during the events of Seed of Chucky, follows Chucky, Tiffany, and Glen after having returned from a vacation ; the film implies that the events of Seed of Chucky take place over the course of 5 - 10 years. While browsing through their photographs of their vacation on a slide projector, Tiffany notices various corpses in the background of certain photographs, realizing that Chucky has been killing people again. Glen feels queasy at this fact and leaves the scene along with Tiffany. Chucky continues to view the photographs ; after a delivery man arrives with a pizza, Chucky leads him to his garage and kills him offscreen. Brad Dourif, Jennifer Tilly and Billy Boyd all reprise their roles form Seed of Chucky.

Alleged relation to crimes The following crimes have been associated with the Child 's Play films : In December 1992 four people who tortured and killed 16 - year - old Suzanne Capper were said to be influenced by one of the Child 's Play movies. During the torturing of the girl, the perpetrators taunted her by playing her a song, ( Hi, I 'm Chucky ( Wanna Play ? ) by 150 Volts, featuring samples from the movie Child 's Play. In 1993, youths who abducted and murdered a toddler named James Bulger were said to have been influenced by the film Child 's Play 3. The supposed link between the murder and the film was denied by film censor James Ferman. According to a relative of two boys aged 10 and 12 who brutally attacked a nine - year - old and 11 - year - old boy in Edlington, South Yorkshire in April 2009, the attackers watched horror movies, including Chucky films, from the age of about six or seven. Elena Lobacheva, a Russian serial killer arrested in 2015, was reportedly obsessed with the film Bride of Chucky, which she cited as being an inspiration for the murders that she and her gang committed throughout Moscow. Comic books Innovation Publishing Beginning in 1992, Innovation Publishing released the first comic books based on the films, in the form of a three - issue adaptation of Child 's Play 2. It was later collected in a trade paperback. The success of the adaptation led to a monthly series of new stories starting in 1991. The series, titled Child 's Play : The Series, ended in 1992 after only five issues. This was followed by a three - issue adaptation of Child 's Play 3. Devil 's due Publishing In 2007, Devil 's Due Publishing obtained the license to publish Child 's Play comics and released a one - shot crossover with Hack / Slash titled Hack / Slash vs. Chucky which takes place after the events of the Seed of Chucky film. This was followed by a four - issue series called Chucky. A second volume began in early 2009 but ceased publication after only one issue. Video game Main article : Chucky : Slash & Dash Slimstown Studios announced an endless runner video game titled Chucky : Slash & Dash. The game is scheduled to be released on iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Android devices. It is the result of an agreement with Universal Partnerships & Licensing to develop and publish the first officially licensed smartphone and tablet Child 's Play video game. The gameplay is actually inspired by the second film 's climax. In the game, Chucky is stuck in a never - ending nightmare in which he 's endlessly running through the factory that produces Good Guys dolls. Players control Chucky while sprinting through the factory floor, the catwalks, the warehouse, or even outside, and need to avoid conveyor belts, forklifts, acid pools, barrels and other obstacles. Chucky can also eliminate security guards patrolling the factory using his classic knife or other more outlandish weapons like a cleaver, screwdriver, or hatchet. As they play, gamers collect batteries that can be used to purchase in - game items or power - ups, such as a double battery bonus, a fast start, or extra lives that can extend a run after dying. The app was released on November 1, 2013. Halloween horror Nights Since 1992, Chucky has starred in his own shows at Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights, entitled, Chucky 's In - Your - Face Insults and Chucky 's Insult Emporium.
