Child's Play
While being chased by Detective Mike Norris (Chris Sarandon), Charles Lee Ray, a serial killer known as "The Lakeshore Strangler" (Brad Dourif), is shot and mortally wounded. Before dying, Charles takes cover inside a toy store, finding boxes of talking "Good Guy" dolls and then uses a voodoo ritual to transfer his soul into one of the dolls. The store is then struck by lightning and it burns to the ground.
Later that morning, 6-year-old Andy Barclay (Alex Vincent) tells his widowed mother Karen Barclay (Catherine Hicks) that he wants a Good Guy doll for his birthday. Unable to afford the full price, Karen buys a stolen doll from a street peddler: the same doll Charles Lee Ray transferred his soul into.....More>>

Child's Play 3: Look Who's Stalking
Eight years after the events in Child's Play 2 the Play Pals Inc. toy factory is dusted, swept, and reopened for business. The workers create a new Good Guy doll from Chucky's (voiced by Brad Dourif) plastic remains; however, serial killer Charles Lee Ray's soul still inhabits the remains and Chucky is revived. Play Pals Inc. re-releases its old "Good Guy" toy line, believing that their bad publicity should have abated after so many years. CEO Chris Sullivan takes Chucky into his office, where Chucky tortures him to death with dangerous toys before using a computer in the room to relocate Andy Barclay.
Andy (Justin Whalin) is now 16 years old, and has been sent to military school, having failed to cope in several foster homes. Colonel Cochran (Dakin Matthews), head of the military school, begrudgingly agrees to let Andy in, but advises him to grow up and forget the killer doll fantasies. What happened to Andy's foster sister Kyle is never explained....More>>

Bride of Chucky
One month after the events of Child's Play 3, Tiffany Ray (Jennifer Tilly), a former lover and accomplice of serial killer Charles Lee Ray (voice of Brad Dourif), acquires Chucky's remains after bribing and later murdering a police officer who removed the dismembered "Good Guy" doll parts from an evidence locker. Believing Ray's soul to be inhabiting the doll, Tiffany crudely stitches Chucky back together and reenacts the voodoo ritual which instilled Ray inside the doll a decade ago. Though her chants initially fail to produce results, Chucky unexpectedly springs to life and smothers Tiffany's goth admirer, Damien (Alexis Arquette), as Tiffany looks on with excitement. while Tiffany is watching TV while taking a bath, Chucky, after being locked in a playpen by Tiffany, gets out and kills her by pushing the TV into the bath, then using the same voodoo spell, transfers Tiffany's soul into a female doll. Chucky, who is still intent on becoming human again, lays out a plan to retrieve the body-switching amulet (The Heart of Damballa) Ray was wearing on the night he was killed...More>>

Halloween II 2009
In a short flashback, Deborah Myers (Sheri Moon Zombie) visits her son, a young Michael Myers (Chase Wright Vanek), at Smith's Grove Sanitarium. Deborah gives Michael a white horse statuette as a gift. Michael says that the horse reminds him of a dream he had of Deborah's ghost, all dressed in white and leading a horse down the sanitarium halls toward Michael, telling him she was going to bring him home. Moving ahead fifteen years, after having shot an adult Michael (Tyler Mane), Laurie Strode (Scout Taylor-Compton) is found wandering around in a state of shock and covered in blood by Sheriff Brackett (Brad Dourif). Brackett takes Laurie to the emergency room. Meanwhile, the paramedics pick up the Sheriff's daughter Annie (Danielle Harris) and Michael's psychiatrist Dr. Loomis (Malcolm McDowell), who are still alive after having been attacked by Michael, and take them to the hospital. Presumed dead, Michael's lifeless body is loaded into a separate ambulance. When the driver has a traffic accident Michael awakens and escapes the ambulance, walking toward a vision of Deborah dressed in white and leading a white horse.
Michael appears at the hospital, and begins murdering everyone he comes across on his way to Laurie. Trapped in a security outpost at the gate, Laurie watches as Michael tears through the walls with an axe, but just as he tries to kill her, Laurie wakes up from the dream. It is actually one year later and Laurie is now living with the Bracketts. Michael's body has been missing since last Halloween—still presumed dead—and Laurie has been having recurring nightmares about the event. While Laurie deals with her trauma through therapy, Loomis has chosen to turn the event into an opportunity to write another book. Meanwhile, Michael has been having visions of Deborah's ghost and a younger version of himself, who instructs him that with Halloween approaching it is time to bring Laurie home; so he sets off for Haddonfield....More>>
