he's one killer doll literally welcome
to watchmojo.com it's been fun but I got
it go I have a date with six-year-old
boy you have a date with death for this
list we'll be looking at the most
remarkable but little-known facts about
everyone's favorite good guy doll gone
bad it's time to play number 10
Chucky went live on SNL live from New
York it's a murderous doll
well not the night celebrity host or
musical guest
Chucky sure made his presence felt in a
1998 episode of NBC's Saturday Night
Live well you know what Lynn's not the
first president to get a little
something on the side
during a promotional tour for Bride of
Chucky the demented doll crashed
SNL's Weekend Update with Colin Quinn to
chime in on the Bill Clinton Monica
Lewinsky scandal that was of course
before he tried to stab Quinn with the
butcher knife
Chucky didn't get to inflict any damage
but he didn't leash some pretty damning
threats at the host and as random and
bizarre an appearance as this was how
many other horror icons can say they
made it onto studio 8h in Rockefeller
Center number nine Chucky had a feud
with Britney Spears and one of the
strangest celebrity feuds ever Britney
Spears had a beef with Chucky and
company over a sequence in seed of
Chucky that sees a Britney look-alike
meet a fiery roadside demise
me and my boys that's right
the pop star and her camp made it clear
that they wanted nothing to do with the
film and made the filmmakers add a
disclaimer to TV ads stating that Spears
doesn't appear in the movie
unsurprisingly the songstress would
later ignore a studio invite to screen
the feature with Chuckie himself what is
surprising though is that a pop singer
at the height of her career could have
it in for a maniacal movie doll only in
Hollywood number 8 the good guys dolls
were originally bleeders we've seen all
the dolls that cry crawl and giggle
right heck there are even some that eat
and go to the bathroom on their own well
as it turns out in the original script
Chucky's line of good guy dolls we're
going to have an even more bizarre
feature bleeding when they got cut
meaning kids everywhere would have the
good fortune of taking care of their
dolls by applying bandages to their
bloody abrasions fun stuff right with
the original working title at the time
being bloody boy Chuckie would most
certainly have gotten his Frankenstein
face makeover a lot sooner as for all
that blood well here's to hoping the
bandages weren't to be sold separately
you seen dolls that pee this one bleeds
number seven Chuckie Wentz CGI free in
his early films in a world where
filmmakers use CGI for pretty much
everything it's both surprising and
impressive to know that the early
child's play movies required zero
computer wizardry in they're bringing
their cursed doll to life scenes
featuring Chucky talking moving and is
often the case killing we're done by
means of animatronics puppetry or in
some instances with real-life actors
I don't believe it I just don't believe
it in fact one of Chuckies early
stand-ins was John Franklin who'd
starred in the equally creepy children
of the corn just a few years earlier can
you imagine the horror movie cred he
must have gotten for having small-town
child murderer and psychotic killer doll
on his acting resume II want you to
[Music]
number six
Chucky took his mother's life with 8
films to his name Chucky has amassed a
pretty significant kill count
however is most shocking killing doesn't
take place on screen but rather the page
in the official novelization of child's
play to author Matthew J Costello wrote
some bonus material that fleshed out
Chucky's backstory one particularly
shocking passage describes how he
strangled his own mother it revealed
that Chuck had a pretty awful upbringing
thanks in part to a cruel mother now
please one last time with Chucky
relentlessly teased about his mother's
dwarfism the future lakeshore strangler
eventually found his first victim in his
own home yeah our guess is Chuckie was
never big on the whole Mother's Day
thing growing up sweetie
Chucky is a toy okay number five
Chucky's look was based on my buddy doll
after all it's often been stated that
Chucky was inspired by the 1980s
phenomenon that was the Cabbage Patch
Kids you can adopt your very own Cabbage
Patch Kid family kids babies boys girls
and new pet puppies but anyone who's
familiar with that other 80s doll for
boys my buddy could see that there had
to be some influence there too special
buddy for your little boy to pal around
with Hasbro has this is my buddy
a tough little guy with a great look so
your little boy can play rough with them
or spend quiet time with them and take
them everywhere he goes well child's
play director Tom Holland would later
say that my buddy doll did indeed serve
as inspiration for Chucky's appearance
given the colourful striped shirt and
overalls we don't know how anyone could
not see the similarities show me how he
works okay hi I'm Chucky and I'm your
friends at the end
hidey-ho plus the 2019 child's play
reboot even renamed their line of dolls
to be called buddy what more proof do we
need Chucky is our buddy
maybe now number four Chucky got his
name from three famous criminals we all
know Chucky as well Chucky but before he
got cursed into doll form 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 nightmarish murders his middle name
Lee is influenced by Lee Harvey Oswald
responsible for the assassination of JFK
then mrs. Kennedy leaned forward and
kissed the flag on her husband's casket
mother and daughter rose and walked
slowly then with immense dignity back to
their places and lastly ray comes from
James Earl Ray who famously shot civil
rights hero dr. Martin Luther King jr.
so when it comes to Shakespeare's
question what's in a name for Chucky the
answer is a lot number three Chucky
movie crossovers are possible Freddy
fought Jason
aliens battled predators even
Frankenstein's monster faced off against
the Wolfman so why can't Chucky get in
on a slasher showdown well it turns out
it is totally in the realm of
possibility for starters the opening
sequence and the Bride of Chucky proves
that the Chuckster indeed exists in the
same universe as other iconic horror
figures
the scene at the Lockport police
evidence depository briefly shows
objects belonging to a who's who of
movie monsters including Jason's hockey
mask Freddy's glove leather faces
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 talk about a killer
crossover
number two Chucky almost got his voice
from John Lithgow sorry mark hamill but
for many Brad Dourif is the
quintessential voice of Chucky yes
nothing like a strangulation to get the
circulation going and with seven movies
voicing the devious doll under his belt
it's hard to imagine anyone else
providing these acid tongue quips with
such precision there is no but it was
almost not to be as John Lithgow perhaps
the best known for his role on 3rd Rock
from the Sun is said to have been
considered for the part lifts cow would
of course go on to lend his voice to
other characters most notably Lord
Farquaad and Shrek but for all his work
and accolades over the years we're still
happy it was Dorf who got the chance to
slay the role for as long as he did

almost a Chucky theme song who doesn't
like a good theme song ensure that your
children will always be safe okay
probably Chucky then it's perhaps a good
thing that the theme Commission for the
first child's play film was ultimately
axed created by Simon Stokes and Joe
Renzetti the song featured cheerleader
vocals and all the 80s keyboard
audiences could handle
it was originally going to be played
over the movies and credits
luckily the producers came to their
senses and chose to ditch the song in
fear that it made their stab happy
killer doll seems silly you don't say
but hey if you ever want to hear Chucky
bust out a rap then have at it do you
