He’s just a harmless Good Guy doll… until he isn’t. From his blood-soaked beginnings in Child’s Play to his more recent slasher sitcom domination in Chucky, Charles Lee Ray has carved (literally) a place for himself as one of horror’s most beloved maniacs. Equal parts gruesome and campy, the Chucky franchise walks the knife’s edge between true terror and twisted humor — and fans wouldn’t have it any other way.

What began as a clever concept in 1988 — a serial killer transferring his soul into a toy — has evolved into a multi-generational horror saga. With each sequel, remake, and reboot, the franchise somehow gets weirder, gayer, and more self-aware — in the best way possible.

The TV series has proven that Chucky’s still got it: clever kills, caustic one-liners, and a devilish charm that puts other slashers to shame. Whether you’re here for Brad Dourif’s voice work, Jennifer Tilly’s scene-stealing chaos, or just the absurdity of a doll wreaking absolute havoc, welcome home.
