Top Ten Facts About Chucky from Child's Play

Here's another horror character fun facts list.

Another one of my favorites, Chucky, originally the Lakeshore Strangler Charles Lee Ray in human form, is the main antagonist of the Child's Play franchise and is primarily voiced by Brad Dourif.

The Top Ten

  1. Chucky went CGI-free in his early films

    The early Child's Play movies required zero computer use in bringing the killer doll to life. Scenes featuring Chucky talking, moving, and killing were done by means of animatronics, puppetry, or, in some instances, with real-life actors.

  2. Chucky got his name from three famous criminals

    Chucky roamed the streets of Chicago under his full name, Charles Lee Ray. These aren't just random names, however, as each one is inspired by a distinctly terrible murderer. His first name, Charles, refers to Charles Manson, the notorious cult leader who masterminded many murders in the late 60s. His middle name, Lee, is influenced by Lee Harvey Oswald, responsible for the assassination of JFK. And lastly, Ray comes from James Earl Ray, who infamously shot civil rights hero Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

  3. Chucky went live on SNL

    During a promotional tour for Bride of Chucky, the killer doll crashed SNL's Weekend Update with Colin Quinn to chime in on the Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky scandal.

  4. The Good Guy doll was designed after 1980s toys like My Buddy

    The freckles and red hair were added to make it eerily childlike yet sinister.

  5. Chucky and Britney Spears had a clash at one point

    Britney Spears had beef with Chucky and co. over a sequence in "Seed of Chucky" that sees a Britney look-alike meet a fiery roadside demise. In "Seed of Chucky," while Glen (Chucky's son) and Chucky are driving, Britney's car suddenly overtakes them. Chucky proceeds to honk at her, to which Britney gives them the middle finger. Enraged, Chucky gives her the finger back, calling her an "A-hole," and crashes into her car's rear, causing it to spin out of control and fall off the road, resulting in a fatal explosion.

  6. Chucky movie crossovers could be possible

    The scene at the Lockport Police evidence depository in "Bride of Chucky" briefly shows objects belonging to a who's who of movie monsters, including Jason's hockey mask, Freddy's glove, Leatherface's chainsaw, and Michael Myers' mask. Plus, "Child's Play" writer Don Mancini has revealed that he has a concept that sees Chucky find his way to Elm Street and meet Freddy Krueger.

  7. Chucky was almost voiced by John Lithgow

  8. Chucky almost had a theme song

  9. Chucky's human form was about 30 when he died

    At the beginning of the first movie, Charles Lee Ray was gunned down in a toy store at the age of 30.

  10. Chucky has a son and a daughter

    Glen and Glenda, though in "Seed of Chucky" we see Glen mostly while only seeing Glenda for about 3 minutes.
