As Stephen King has said, "Dolls with no little girls around to mind them were sort of creepy under any conditions." Test your creep-out level with dolls at Nightmare on Oak Street tonight! Two great feature films, plus the chance to craft your own little buddy (resemblance to Chucky not guaranteed) to take home, IF YOU DARE!
Child's Play (1988) (Rated R adult situations/language, violence)
(rottentomatoes.com) Child's Play seems to have been concocted by a parent who went berserk after standing in line for hours on end to purchase a Cabbage Patch doll in the early 1980s. The film opens with serial killer Brad Dourif taking refuge in a doll factory. Dourif is killed by the cops, but not before he has invoked a voodoo curse which transfers his soul into one of the dolls. That particular doll, nicknamed Chuckie, is unwittingly purchased by Catherine Hicks for her son Alex Vincent. Several murders occur shortly thereafter; all evidence points to Alex, who insists that his cherub-faced doll is responsible. Detective Chris Sarandon, the man responsible for Dourif's death, doesn't swallow Alex's story, but he agrees to investigate because he's sweet on Alex's mom. The slasher-flick ending of Child's Play would seem to have settled Chuckie's hash for good and all, but guess again--the film spawned numerous sequels.
Annabelle: Creation (2017) (Rated R for horror violence and terror)
(rottentomatoes.com) A couple still grieving the death of their daughter take in children from a local orphanage, but the family are soon terrorized by a demented doll known as Annabelle. Anthony LaPaglia, Miranda Otto, Stephanie Sigman, Talitha Bateman, and Lulu Wilson star in this horror sequel from director David F. Sandberg (Lights Out).
