Greetings, and welcome back to October Horror Fest! You know, today is Day 29, and the challenge is coming to an end. My friends, I have loved every minute of it, and making your days just a bit spookier. It’s always my honor to do a horror fest. BUT, as I was deciding what to do for the last three days, a thought occurred to me. WHERE’S CHUCKY? As you all know, I love Child’s Play, and did all three of the original Child’s Play movies last year. So, of course, I had to keep going. To end it off just like last year, here’s killer #1. Chucky. Without further ado, sit back, relax, turn off the lights, grab some Candy and Popcorn, and let’s review…

Bride of Chucky

Before we start our adventure, let’s talk a bit about everyone’s favorite killer doll in this movie. Bride of Chucky is a movie, to say the least. Chucky becomes less murderous, and more honestly just funny. You’ll see.

And, of course, since this is Chucky, he always comes back (wink). We seriously start our movie now. It’s 1998, and we see a cop driving a bag back to the lockup. However, he is stopped and murdered by, SAY HELLO TO OUR NEW FAVORITE CHARACTER, TIFFANY VALENTINE! Tiffany (Tiff) is Chucky’s old lover. Yeah, back in the Charles Lee Ray days, Chucky and Tiff were legitimately a thing. From the back of the car is the bag, and Tiff looks inside, seeing the absolutely destroyed Good Guy Doll from Child’s Play 3. OH YEAH, STARTING OFF WITH A BANG. In probably the most 90s scene ever made, Tiff repairs the broken Chucky, stitching him together to create his new, classic look. Tiff uses a “Voodoo for Dummies” book to channel Dumballa, the same God who granted Chucky his immortality. She uses the curse, and brings the Good Guy back to life.

Later that night, Damien arrives at Tiff’s trailer where she lives. He is very goth, very obsessed, and VERY, VERY hateful of Chucky. However, Chucky doesn’t take this nicely. In another EXTREMELY funny scene which I wish I could write about in its entirety, Chucky murders Damien. Chucky is back. BUT, the reunion of these two former flames could not be worse timed, as Chucky gets into an argument with Tiff about marriage. He basically just calls Tiff out in his classic Chucky way, saying he’d be stupid to ever marry her. Tiff is INFURIATED by this, and traps Chucky inside of a teeny tiny little playpen. Guys, I DIED when this happened, AND I’VE ALREADY SEEN THIS MOVIE! Tiff even throws a marriage doll inside the playpen with the Chuckster. This doll becomes extremely, EXTREMELY important. Chucky uses it to escape, and electrocutes Tiffany to death, as she watches the Bride of Frankenstien. Using the power of Dumballa once again, Chucky transfers Tiff’s soul into the doll.

We all know that Chucky has been trying to get out of his doll body since Child’s Play One, and that is shown on FULL display. As Tiff basically has a meltdown and gives her new body a cool new Tiffany makeover, Chucky says that they need to escape the doll bodies once and for all. In order to do this, they need the Heart of Damballa. It is a magical amulet, but there’s just one teeny tiny problem. It was buried with Charles Lee Ray. It’s with Chucky. The day that Charles Lee Ray was killed, he was wearing the amulet. So, thus begins the mission of our two killer dolls. Get to Hackensack, New Jersey, and find the amulet on Charles Lee Ray’s corpse.

Whilst deciding what bodies to transfer their souls into, the pair decide on that of Tiff’s neighbor and his girlfriend (soon to be wife). Jesse Miller is the boyfriend. He is handsome, and Tiff seriously considers him a good person. His girlfriend is Jade Kincaid, who has a VERY strict family who almost never let her go out. Her uncle is named Warren, and he is chief of police, so he can basically do whatever he wants, including stopping all of Jade’s attempts to get out of the town with Jesse.

Although Tiff is now possessing the doll, she leaves a voice message of Jesse, saying that if he can get the two dolls safely to Hackensack, he will get a thousand dollars. Jesse makes his choice to do it, but it’s mostly to try to marry Jade, and to support themselves with the money. With a newfound sense of confidence, Jesse puts the pedal to the metal. However, they do not get far. At all. As Jesse begins to drive, Warren plants drugs into his vehicle, trying to frame him and stop him from getting out of town with Jade. Real nice move, jerk! BUT, this is a Chucky movie, and the kills were bound to happen eventually. Chucky can’t have the cops getting in his way, so he removes them. He and Tiff lure Warren into the van, where a nail gun is fired at his head, putting nails everywhere, and ending the Chief’s life. IN ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOMENTS, Chucky looks down at the corpse and comments that it looks familiar, in a perfect tongue-in-cheek reference to Pinhead. However, if you think it couldn’t get worse for the cops, think again. After Jade and Jesse are forced to get out of the car, Officer Norton, one of Warren’s closest confidants, enters the van, and finds the planted drugs. He comes out, smug as can be, and returns to his cop car. However, Chucky isn’t just going to let this happen. Using his skills as a murderer, he goes over to the patrol car’s gas tank, and BLOWS IT UP.

A massive scene breaks out, and Jesse and Jade are able to escape undetected. However, another hurdle comes at the young lovers. They’re now fugitives. Besides going to Hackensack to deliver the dolls, per Tiff’s orders, they are also now on the run. The entire police force are accusing the pair of killing Warren and Norton, and they are ON THEM. At the same time, suspicions grow between the couple themselves, each accusing each other of killing Norton, since they don’t yet know that Warren is dead. But, they’re kids, and they’re going to be brash. They pull over, and they get married. Yeah, these FUGITIVES just got married.

The pair decide to spend the night at a lover’s honeymoon hotel, where another couple appears and steals Jesse’s wallet. Tiff is MAD about this, and because she’s Tiffany, does what any sensible person would. As the couple are getting ready to sleep together, in one of the most famous Child’s Play kills, Tiff chucks a bottle up toward a mirror above the bed, and the entire thing breaks, ending the lives of the couple. Rule #1 Everyone. But, here’s where it gets crazy, crazy. Chucky walks into the room, sees the carnage, and finally admits he loves Tiff. Chucky steals the ring from the severed finger of the girl who was killed, and proposes to Tiff. She says yes, and begins to cry. Remember everyone, the longer the souls are trapped in the dolls, the more human they become. Tiff, seeing this, asks if they can, you know. And yes, in a “scene” to say the least, Chucky and Tiff get together. I told you this was a different vibe than the rest of the franchise.

It’s the next morning, and after the carnage committed by Tiff is seen by Jesse and Jade, they bolt, driving away with their good friend David. The pair are completely on edge, saying that they are WAY too in over their heads, and that they really have no chance. But, being a good friend, David calms them down. He honestly, truly believes that they didn’t kill anyone, ALTHOUGH, they are the prime suspects. He calms down, but suddenly sees blood on the floor in the back. He opens the case where the blood is, and staring back at him, is the body of Warren. David now FULLY believes his friends are killers. He takes the deceased Warren’s gun, and points it at the couple. They move back in the van, and are shocked and horrified to discover the body. A stand off ensues, until legitimately, my favorite moment of the entire movie, and probably the funniest. Seeing no other options, Chucky and Tiff decide to reveal they’re alive. I kid you not, THEY STAND UP, AND PULL THEIR OWN GUNS. They point them every which way, and Chucky screams, “Nobody move!” David is shocked, and stumbles out of the truck, and in a scene which legitimately just made me chuckle, he gets hit by a truck, and dies in one of the craziest VFX shots I have ever seen. It certainly looked like a 90s movie, that’s for sure.

Jesse hits the gas once again, as Chucky and Tiff exhibit full control of the pair. They pull over and get an RV, hoping to give the cops the slip. As they drive, Chucky and Tiff become more and more infuriated with each other, in a classic marital squabble. It is HILARIOUS. However, the duo use this to their advantage. As the dolls fight, Jade lands a monster kick on Tiff, and sends her flying into the oven. Jesse throws Chucky out of the window, as the group speeds past the “Welcome to Hackensack” sign, and crashes in a ditch. Jade and Jesse appear out from the wreckage, and Tiff appears again, horrifically burned. Jesse takes her hostage, as Chucky does the same with Jade, forcing her to walk with him to Charles Lee Ray’s grave. They arrive, and Chucky kills someone at the grave, his blood pooling onto his own gravestone. They find the casket, and the body of Charles Lee Ray. Jade is forced to go down into the grave, and take the amulet.

With Jade being held hostage, Chucky begins enacting the Damballa ritual. However, as lighting begins filling the sky, Tiff changes her mind. She wants to be a good person. In order to save Jesse, who she really truly liked when she was a human, she attacks Chucky. The pair fight, until Chucky fatally stabs Tiff. She falls to the ground, telling Jade that she’s lucky to have Jesse. Jesse, seeing this, does what he has to. In an absolutely gorgeous play, he chucks Chucky into the grave with a shovel, Chucky landing on his own skeleton. A private investigator arrives, and watches as Jade shoots Chucky to death once more. Seeing this, he clears the teens of their “crimes”. It’s almost over, until the P.I. sees Tiff’s body. He investigates, when she comes back to life, a BABY COMING OUT OF HER, and attacking the P.I., as we cut to black.

Thank you all so much for watching! Bride of Chucky is a movie that I honestly like, but is a CHANGE for this franchise. However, it’s a welcome one, and I hope you enjoyed part one of the three part finale. I’ll see you all soon, and remember, Chucky always comes back…
