Charles Lee Ray

Real Name: Charles Lee Ray
Place of Birth (Resurrection): Toy Store
Race: He's Plastic! Sex: Male
Height: 2' 6" (approx) Weight: 30lbs (est)

Current Location: The plastic dude is dead. And like every other psycho so far I am getting a little tired of adding this footnote, but hey, here goes...I'm sure he will return. Death isn't such a drag like it used to be. Voodoo rituals have helped this little guy return and return again on numerous occasions. So don't be shocked to see him again real soon. In fact the Child's Play series is YET another franchise that is gonna get tagged with that ugly remake stick.

Reference movies:
Child's Play, Child's Play 2, Child's Play 3: Look Who's Stalking, Bride of Chucky, Seed of Chucky

WATCH YOUR BACK BARBIE!

Charles Lee Ray, serial killer. But alls well coz the b#stard has been shot, the guys dead right? Ooooh, people, how wrong could you all be. For Mr Ray is a dab hand at the old voodoo isn't he and bang!! transfers his evil soul straight into a 'Good Guy' doll. Not the ideal choice for the onliving soul of a serial killer you might say. Why not another human, or at least a dangerous animal...you know something goddamn vicious...something you would want to be resurrected as if you had the opportunity to come back and still cause some real damage. Unfortunately for Charles the doll was the only thing to hand. So now Chucky is trapped in the plastic body and his only chance of escape is to transfer into the first human that he revealed his true identity to. Namely, a little boy called Andy Barclay.

Now, Chuckys' kinda different from your usual serial, slashing warm-hearted maniac. First off he ain't human. Secondly, its pretty difficult to seriously harm something made of plastic. And third and finally he is one spiteful little sh#t! Voiced by the fantastic Brad Dourif (who shamelessly didn't receive a well deserved Oscar for his supporting performance in 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest') has created Chuckys' dark, somewhat comical persona which he's carried through the whole Childs Play series of movies to date.

Like any other certified fruitcake who graces our screens, Chucky wouldn't be fully equipped without a snowball of quips, and gags. A bit of a smart-ass you might say. But this takes nothing away from his valuable contribution to the world of horror. With his flowing red locks, and his baby blue eyes, Chucky coasts through his afterlife looking for escape. But aren't we all. Aren't we all searching for that escape from our purile existences? And wouldn't you feel a little bitter and peeved somewhat about begin trapped in the body of a 2 foot piece of plastic? Buying shoes would be a nightmare, mating would be difficult but not impossible and the less we think about toilet-time the better.

For its time Childs Play was a genuinely unique spin on the world of slasher movies. It could of done with a few extra scares, a couple more killings here and there, but overall fairly refreshing. The sequels came along with a little more style, possibly a little less originality, but still kept the dolly up there with the big boys. And although Chucky is a serial killers' soul trapped in a maniacal kids doll I still to this day believe the character was not intended to be one of these notorious figures of horror. The tagline 'Look Whos Stalking' for the third installment simply represents a horror movie thats not willing to take itself to seriously. It's played with tongue firmlyin cheek and it works. With the release of the fourth instlalment, 'Bride of Chucky', it also began attempting the inevitable self-referential treatment and it fitted it perfectly.

Chucky is the man! Well the doll anyway. A creepy little kids toy that walks, talks and stalks its victims. I know what I won't be asking for Christmas!
