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 2
Two years after the events of Child's Play, Andy Barclay (now eight years old) is placed in a foster home after his mother Karen is taken to undergo psychiatric evaluation for supporting her son's story about a killer doll. Meanwhile, Detective Mike Norris has been threatened into dismissal from the police department. Bad publicity about Play Pals, Inc. (the company behind the "Good Guy" toy line) is all over the newspapers regarding Chucky. The company has the original doll reconstructed for analysis, and a worker is electrocuted during this process. Chucky is brought back to life due to the accident and manages to find Andy at his foster home.
Chucky disposes of the foster home's Tommy doll (that completely resembles him) and takes its place, then sneaks into Andy's bedroom and ties him up in order to begin transferring his soul into his body. Before he can complete the spell, Andy's foster sister Kyle suddenly sneaks through his bedroom window. Confused, Kyle tries to help untie Andy, but their foster parents Phil and Joanne unexpectedly arrive and accuse her of tying Andy up, despite his pleas that the doll is alive....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>>

Seed of Chucky
The film is set sixteen years after the events of Child's Play, fourteen years after the events of Child's Play 2, and six years after the events of both Child's Play 3 and Bride of Chucky.
The movie opens with Glen, the apparent "son" of Chucky and Tiffany; born at the expense of his estranged mother Tiffany dying immediately after he was born (this is shown at the end of "Bride of Chucky") and living a life of embarrassment and abuse as a ventriloquist's dummy who shortly said he found him long ago in the cemetery of where Glen's mother died. Desperate to know his parents (after seeing behind the scenes footage of the Child's Play movie-within-a-movie on TV), Glen escapes and tracks them down to Hollywood.
Upon tracking down his parents, who are now dummies in one of Jennifer Tilly's films, Glen uses a voodoo amulet (the "Heart of Damballa" from the previous film) to bring them back to life. Shortly afterward, when Chucky finds out that Glen is his child, he faints while Tiffany hugs her son. Shortly after this, Tiffany and Chucky have a dispute over whether Glen is a girl or a boy. Chucky decides to label him as a boy regardless. Tiffany disagrees, labels him as a girl, and calls him "Glenda". This may be a throwback to the Ed Wood so bad it's good movie "Glen or Glenda?"....More>>
