![]() One of the many great things about the Child’s Play/ Chucky franchise is that practical effects are used much more often than digital effects when bringing Chucky to life. Killer Chucky – Child’s Play 3 (1991) Don Mancini wasn’t entirely happy with Child’s Play 3, and the series took a break for a few years after its release. ![]() He’s less strange and more creepy this way, making this look marginally better than his neutral look. Not much really changes between his two forms, but he looks more angry when he goes for a kill, and at a certain point his eyes turn red when he’s evil. Being off-putting also helps Chucky look slightly better in his evil form in Child’s Play (2019). The doll is surely supposed to be off-putting even in its nice and neutral form, so the film definitely does its job well in that regard. It’s safe to assume that the weird look of the Buddi version of Chucky is by design. Killer Buddi Chucky – Child’s Play (2019) There is also a version of the Buddi doll which is a teddy bear, but since it’s not Chucky, it can’t be ranked here. The other Chuckys agree, and, feeling sorry for him, they allow the short-haired Chucky to take a kill they all want to do. Even the doll itself knows it looks bad, saying so to the other Chuckys in the movie. The basic look of Chucky in Cult is already kind of odd with his slightly pinched features and sunken eyes, and removing most of Chucky’s hair just accentuates the inherent oddness of his face. Without going into too much detail, there are three Chucky dolls running around by the end of the movie, and one of them has short hair. In Cult of Chucky, it is revealed that Chucky learned a voodoo spell that allows him to split his soul among multiple hosts. Short-Haired Chucky – Cult of Chucky (2017) The short hair on this Chucky serves a very specific purpose in the movie’s plot, but plot importance doesn’t make the doll look any better. Plus, it’s an easy entry for the worst look on the list because the face is just so weird. Since there is no Charles Lee Ray nor any voodoo magic, is it really Chucky? For completion’s sake, sure. In this version, Chucky is a high-tech doll with limited artificial intelligence. For one thing, neither Brad Dourif nor Don Mancini had anything to do with Child’s Play (2019). It’s debatable whether or not the Buddi doll version of Chucky should even be included in this list. Neutral Buddi Chucky – Child’s Play (2019) The main cast in this remake is great, with Gabriel Bateman as Andy, Aubrey Plaza as Andy’s mom Karen, and Mark Hamill as the voice of Chucky. The Charles Lee Ray appearances aren’t ranked, because it feels weird to rank real people by their looks. To keep the ranking manageable, some of the in-between looks, like this mid-reveal shot of Chucky in Curse of Chucky (2013), are left out.Īlso, as a bonus, below the doll ranking is a timeline of the various appearances of Charles Lee Ray (aka Chucky in human form). Also, there are lots of unavoidable spoilers in this list. Other descriptions should be self-explanatory. ![]() ![]() When Chucky comes to life, a different doll with more articulation is usually used, and that doll is referred to as the “killer” version. The term “neutral” is used below to refer to Chucky when he is pretending to be a lifeless toy. In general, Chucky has two main looks in each movie. This list ranks every major look Chucky has had, from awful to amazing. Additionally, within each movie and TV episode Chucky may have multiple looks depending on the situation. Sometimes the changes are subtle, but sometimes they’re drastic. With every movie and TV show, Chucky’s appearance changes. Sometimes a great movie like Child’s Play 2 (1990) doesn’t provide the best look for the diminutive slasher. But that doesn’t mean the character hasn’t evolved over time. Having the same pair bring the character to life since 1988 adds a fantastic continuity of character not present in many long-running horror franchises. Excluding the 2019 remake of Child’s Play, Chucky is the only major American horror villain to be written and performed by the same creative duo for over three decades: Don Mancini and Brad Dourif. Chucky is easily one of horror’s most iconic villains.
