Chucky was first introduced in 1988 in the movie Child's Play. The doll, who just happened to be possessed by a serial killer, looked innocent enough, but would go on to kill hundreds of people, ruin Andy's life, get married, and even have a kid. The Shudder documentary takes a deeper look at the franchise, which currently has seven films and a TV series with three seasons.
I talked to director Thommy Hutson about why horror is able to have long-standing franchises unlike other genres, why the 2019 Child's Play reboot was not successful but the Chucky's TV series was, what's his favorite death in the franchise, and his favorite character in the franchise.
