legacy

2:12
Whether
2:12
you
2:12
are
2:12
a
2:13
regular
2:13
eternity
2:13
listener,
2:14
whether
2:14
you
2:14
are
2:14
a
2:14
brand
2:14
new
2:15
listener
2:15
to
2:15
this
2:15
podcast,
2:16
thank
2:16
you
2:17
for
2:17
being
2:17
here.
2:17
Thank
2:17
you
2:17
for
2:18
choosing
2:18
to
2:18
listen
2:18
to
2:19
this
2:19
podcast.
2:19
There
2:20
are
2:20
so
2:20
many
2:20
podcasts
2:21
out
2:21
there
2:21
all
2:21
vying
2:22
for
2:22
your
2:22
attention
2:22
and
2:22
for
2:23
your
2:23
ears,
2:23
especially
2:24
during
2:24
the
2:24
month
2:24
of
2:25
October,
2:25
because
2:25
that
2:26
is
2:26
traditionally
2:27
spooky
2:27
season
2:28
on
2:28
many
2:28
podcasts.
2:29
And
2:30
I'll
2:30
be
2:30
honest,
2:31
this
2:31
podcast
2:31
is
2:32
no
2:32
different.
2:32
I
2:32
am
2:32
going
2:33
to
2:33
be
2:33
focusing
2:33
on
2:34
some
2:34
horror
2:34
this
2:34
month,
2:35
and
2:35
it's
2:36
one
2:36
of
2:36
those
2:36
things
2:36
that
2:36
I
2:36
always
2:37
get
2:37
requests
2:37
for.
2:38
I
2:38
always
2:38
get
2:38
asked
2:39
to
2:39
do
2:39
more
2:39
horror.
2:40
So
2:40
I'm
2:40
just
2:41
obliging
2:42
to
2:42
the
2:42
listeners
2:42
and
2:43
what
2:43
the
2:43
listeners
2:43
want,
2:44
and
2:44
those
2:44
are
2:44
the
2:45
regular
2:45
returning
2:45
listeners.
2:46
But
2:46
if
2:46
you
2:46
are
2:46
a
2:47
brand
2:47
new
2:47
listener,
2:48
welcome
2:48
to
2:48
Verbal
2:49
diorama.
2:50
Thank
2:50
you
2:50
for
2:50
being
2:51
here.
2:51
Thank
2:51
you
2:51
to
2:51
everyone
2:52

2:52

2:53

most
3:07
recent
3:07
episodes
3:07
of
3:07
this
3:07
podcast
3:08
were
3:08

3:09
Spider
3:09
man
3:09
three
3:10
and
3:10
Bill
3:11
and
3:11
Ted.
3:11
Face
3:11
the
3:12
music
3:13
last
3:13
month
3:13
was
3:14
something
3:14
that
3:14
I
3:15
dubbed
3:15
three
3:15
Queltember,
3:16
which
3:17
was
3:17
the
3:18
second
3:18
sequels,
3:19
two
3:19
movies
3:20
that
3:20
had
3:20
already
3:20
been
3:21
featured
3:21
on
3:21
the
3:21
podcast,
3:22
but
3:22
I
3:22
just
3:22
never
3:23
got
3:23
around
3:23
to
3:23
doing
3:23
the
3:23
third
3:24
movie
3:24
in
3:24
the
3:25
series
3:25
or
3:25
in
3:25
the
3:25
trilogy.
3:26
Threequel
3:27
timber
3:27
was
3:27
just
3:27
such
3:28
a
3:28
massive
3:28
success,
3:29
and
3:29
I'm
3:29
so
3:29
grateful
3:30
to
3:30
everyone
3:31
who
3:31
listened
3:31
to
3:31
those
3:31
episodes,
3:32
who
3:32
gave
3:33
me
3:33
some
3:33
wonderful
3:33
comments
3:34
on
3:34
those
3:34
episodes.
3:35
And
3:35
really,
3:36
all
3:36
episodes
3:37
of
3:37
Bubble
3:37
Diorama
3:38
are
3:38
winners.
3:39
But
3:39
Batman
3:39
Forever
3:40
really
3:40
was
3:41
the
3:41
kind
3:41
of
3:41
standout
3:42
episode
3:42
of
3:42
that
3:43
month.
3:43
I
3:43
got
3:44
so
3:44
many
3:44
amazing
3:44
comments
3:45
about
3:45
Batman
3:45
forever,
3:46
so
3:46
thank
3:46
you
3:46
so
3:46
much.
3:47
But
3:47
people
3:48
love
3:48
Spider
3:48
man
3:48
three.
3:49
People
3:49
love
3:49
Ben
3:49
and
3:49
Ted
3:50
face
3:50
the
3:50
music
3:50
as
3:51
well,
3:51
and
3:51
also
3:52
Jurassic
3:52
park
3:52
three,
3:52
which
3:53
came
3:53
a
3:53
bit
3:53
earlier
3:54
on
3:54
in
3:54
the
3:54
month.
3:55
So
3:55
this
3:55
month
3:56
I
3:57
wanted
3:57
to
3:57
do
3:58
a
3:58
slasher
3:59
season,
3:59
and
3:59
I
3:59
wanted
4:00
to
4:00
cover
4:00
the
4:01
slosslashershersoftheseventiesandeighties,and
4:04
Ikindof
4:04
wanted
4:04
to
4:05
start
4:05
with
4:05
the
4:05
most
4:06
least
4:06
obvious
4:07
horror
4:08
icon,
4:09
and
4:09
that's
4:10
because
4:10
killer
4:11
dolls
4:11
and
4:11
toys
4:11
coming
4:12
to
4:12
life.
4:12
It
4:13
wasn't
4:13
really
4:13
a
4:13
new
4:14
thing
4:14
in
4:14
the
4:14
late
4:14
1980s
4:15
and
4:16
nor
4:16
is
4:16
it
4:16
in
4:17
modern
4:17
horror
4:17
either.
4:18
But
4:19
the
4:19
fact
4:19
that
4:19
Chucky
4:20
became
4:20
this
4:21
huge
4:21
horror
4:22
icon
4:22
was,
4:23
despite
4:24
the
4:24
constant
4:25
issues,
4:25
on
4:26
and
4:26
off
4:26
set.
4:27
And
4:27
it's
4:27
also
4:27
pretty
4:28
much
4:28
thanks
4:28
to
4:28
a
4:28
disastrous
4:29
test
4:29
screening.
4:30
For
4:31
which
4:31
the
4:31
movie
4:32
ended
4:32
up
4:32
taking
4:32
a
4:33
few
4:33
hints
4:33
and
4:33
tips
4:34
from
4:34
jaws.
4:35
Here's
4:35
the
4:35
trailer
4:36
for
4:36
child's
4:37
play.
6:41
On
6:41
a
6:41
bitter
6:41
Chicago
6:42
night,
6:42
detective
6:43
Mike
6:43
Norris
6:44
is
6:44
chasing
6:44
down
6:45
the
6:45
notorious
6:46
serial
6:46
killer
6:46
Charles
6:47
Lee
6:47
Ray,
6:48
who
6:48
takes
6:48
refuge
6:49
in
6:49
a
6:49
toy
6:49
store.
6:50
Injured
6:50
in
6:51
the
6:51
shootout,
6:51
Ray
6:52
uses
6:52
voodoo
6:53
to
6:53
transfer
6:53
his
6:54
soul
6:54
into
6:55
the
6:55
body
6:55
of
6:55
a
6:55
good
6:56
guy
6:56
dog.
6:56
And
6:57
as
6:57
the
6:57
store
6:57
explodes,
6:58
Norris
6:59
believes
6:59
Ray
7:00
has
7:00
been
7:00
killed
7:00
in
7:00
the
7:01
blast.
7:02
Meanwhile,
7:02
hard
7:03
working
7:03
single
7:03
mother
7:04
Karen
7:04
Barclay
7:05
knows
7:05
all
7:06
her
7:06
six
7:06
year
7:06
old
7:07
son
7:07
wants
7:07
for
7:07
his
7:07
birthday
7:08
is
7:08
a
7:09
good
7:09
guy
7:09
doll.
7:10
And
7:10
manages
7:10
to
7:10
find
7:10
a
7:11
peddler
7:11
behind
7:11
her
7:11
workplace
7:12
selling
7:13
one
7:13
on
7:13
the
7:13
cheap.
7:14
She
7:14
buys
7:15
it
7:15
and
7:15
surprises
7:16
Andy.
7:16
And
7:16
the
7:16
doll
7:17
introduces
7:17
himself
7:18
as
7:18
Chucky.
7:19
Strange
7:20
things
7:20
start
7:20
occurring,
7:21
with
7:21
Andy
7:21
blaming
7:22
Chucky.
7:23
And
7:23
Karen
7:23
becomes
7:24
exasperated
7:25
at
7:25
her
7:25
sons
7:26
blatant
7:26
noise.
7:27
All
7:27
Chucky
7:28
can
7:28
do
7:28
is
7:28
talk
7:29
and
7:29
respond
7:29
to
7:29
Andy.
7:31
And
7:31
then
7:31
Karen
7:32
realizes
7:33
Chucky
7:33
has
7:34
no
7:34
batteries.

and

8:18
In
8:18
late
8:18
1983,
8:19
violence
8:20
broke
8:20
out
8:21
in
8:21
cities
8:21
and
8:21
towns
8:22
across
8:22
the
8:22
US.
8:23
People
8:24
fought
8:24
each
8:24
other
8:24
and
8:25
would
8:25
hit
8:25
to
8:25
shove
8:26
and
8:26
trample
8:26
each
8:27
other.
8:27
Some
8:28
even
8:28
used
8:28
baseball
8:29
bats
8:29
to
8:29
both
8:29
attack
8:30
and
8:30
defend
8:31
themselves
8:31
against
8:32
others.
8:32
The
8:33
riots
8:33
lasted
8:34
for
8:34
months,
8:35
with
8:35
thousands
8:35
of
8:35
people
8:36
left
8:36
bruised,
8:37
battered,
8:38
some
8:38
hospitalized,
8:39
and
8:40
most
8:40
egregiously,
8:41
many
8:41
hundreds
8:42
without
8:42
their
8:42
cabbage
8:43
patch
8:43
kids.
8:44
And
8:45
if
8:45
you
8:45
think
8:45
I'm
8:45
joking
8:46
about
8:46
this,
8:46
I'm
8:47
not
8:47
the
8:48
cabbage
8:48
patch
8:48
riots
8:49
stemmed
8:50
from
8:50
toy
8:50
stores
8:51
only
8:51
containing
8:52
several
8:52
hundred
8:52
dolls,
8:53
and
8:53
thousands
8:54
of
8:54
customers
8:54
descended
8:55
on
8:55
them
8:55
to
8:56
snack
8:56
the
8:56
coveted
8:57
toys
8:57
for
8:57
Christmas.
8:58
Many
8:58
left
8:59
empty
8:59
handed
9:00
and
9:00
many
9:00
resorted
9:00
to
9:01
violence.
9:02
By
9:02
early
9:02
1984,
9:03
supply
9:04
kept
9:04
up
9:04
with
9:04
demand
9:05
and
9:05
the
9:05
violence
9:06
declined.
9:07
No
9:07
one
9:07
really
9:08
knew
9:08
why
9:08
the
9:08
cabbage
9:09
patch
9:09
riots
9:10
happened
9:10
other
9:11
than
9:11
parent
9:11
company
9:12
Conoco
9:13
appealing
9:13
to
9:13
a
9:14
huge
9:14
number
9:14
of
9:14
children
9:15
between
9:15
six
9:15
and
9:15
twelve
9:16
that
9:16
they
9:16
could
9:17
adopt
9:17
their
9:17
own
9:17
doll.
9:18
And
9:18
this
9:19
craze
9:19
foreshadowed
9:20
similar
9:20
holiday
9:20
toy
9:21
crazes
9:21
and
9:22
of
9:22
course
9:22
now
9:22
Black
9:23
Friday
9:23
sales.
9:24
But
9:25
those
9:25
cabbage
9:26
patch
9:26
kids
9:26
did
9:27
more
9:27
than
9:27
cause
9:27
a
9:28
toy
9:28
shortage
9:29
and
9:29
prompt
9:29
physical
9:29
violence
9:30
between
9:30
usually
9:31
mild
9:31
mannered
9:31
mums
9:32
and
9:32
dads.
9:32
It
9:33
also
9:33
inspired
9:34
UCLA
9:34
film
9:35
student
9:35
Don
9:35
Mancini
9:36
to
9:36
write
9:37
a
9:37
darkly
9:37
comedic
9:38
tale
9:38
about
9:39
a
9:39
young
9:39
boy
9:40
and
9:40
his
9:40
doll
9:41
that
9:41
takes
9:41
a
9:41
deadly
9:42
turn.
9:43
Strongly
9:44
influenced
9:44
by
9:44
the
9:44
Zuni
9:45
fetish
9:45
doll
9:46
in
9:46
the
9:46
Amelia
9:47
segment
9:47
of
9:47
Trilogy
9:48
of
9:48
Terror,
9:48
the
9:49
creepy
9:49
dummy
9:49
in
9:50
magic
9:50
and
9:51
the
9:51
Twilight
9:51
Zone
9:52
episodes
9:52
living
9:53
doll
9:53
about
9:54
talkie
9:54
Tina.
9:55
The
9:55
killer
9:55
doll
9:56
trope
9:56
was
9:56
pretty
9:57
well
9:57
worn,
9:58
but
9:58
in
9:58
all
9:58
cases
9:59
the
9:59
doll
9:59
wasnt
10:00
really
10:00
a
10:00
character
10:01
with
10:01
a
10:01
personality,
10:02
just
10:03
a
10:03
doll
10:03
out
10:04
to
10:04
kill
10:04
someone.
10:05
Mancinis
10:06
script
10:06
was
10:06
written
10:07
while
10:07
he
10:07
was
10:07
still
10:08
at
10:08
UCLA
10:09
and
10:09
was
10:09
titled
10:10
Butter
10:10
is
10:10
not
10:11
included.
10:12
Obviously
10:12
that
10:13
title
10:13
would
10:13
instead
10:13
be
10:13
taken
10:14
by
10:14
a
10:14
Steven
10:15
Spielberg
10:15
produced
10:15
Sci-Fi
10:16
comedy
10:16
in
10:17
1987.
10:18
Instead
10:18
the
10:19
title
10:19
was
10:19
changed
10:20
not
10:20
to
10:21
Child's
10:21
play,
10:22
but
10:22
to
10:22
blood
10:23
Buddy.
10:24
The
10:24
premise
10:25
was
10:25
a
10:25
good
10:26
guy
10:26
doll
10:26
called
10:27
Buddy,
10:27
that
10:28
if
10:28
you
10:28
played
10:28
with
10:28
him
10:29
too
10:29
rough
10:29
he
10:29
would
10:30
bleed
10:30
and
10:31
then
10:31
the
10:31
child
10:31
would
10:31
have
10:32
to
10:32
use
10:32
official
10:33
good
10:33
guy
10:33
plasters,
10:34
aka
10:35
band
10:35
aids
10:35
if
10:35
you're
10:35
american,
10:36
to
10:36
stop
10:36
the
10:37
bleeding.
10:38
Back
10:38
in
10:38
the
10:38
eighties
10:38
there
10:39
was
10:39
this
10:39
thing
10:39
kids
10:40
did
10:40
called
10:40
blood
10:41
brothers
10:42
where
10:42
you
10:42
cut
10:42
your
10:42
finger,
10:43
you
10:43
got
10:43
your
10:43
best
10:44
friend
10:44
in
10:44
the
10:44
world
10:44
to
10:44
do
10:45
the
10:45
same
10:45
and
10:45
you
10:46
mixed
10:46
your
10:46
blood
10:46
together
10:47
to
10:47
become
10:48
blood
10:48
brothers.
10:49
In
10:49
the
10:49
script,
10:50
Andy
10:50
is
10:51
a
10:51
lonely
10:51
kid,
10:51
his
10:52
mother
10:52
is
10:52
always
10:52
out
10:53
working
10:53
and
10:54
his
10:54
only
10:54
friend
10:55
is
10:55
his
10:55
buddy
10:55
doll.
10:56
So
10:56
when
10:56
Buddy
10:57
starts
10:57
to
10:58
bleed,
10:58
Andy
10:58
cuts
10:59
his
10:59
thumb
11:00
mixing
11:00
his
11:00
blood
11:01
with
11:01
buddies
11:01
and
11:02
thats
11:02
what
11:02
brings
11:03
the
11:03
doll
11:03
to
11:03
life.
11:04
There
11:04
was
11:05
no
11:05
voodoo,
11:06
no
11:06
serial
11:06
killer
11:07
possession,
11:08
just
11:08
a
11:08
twisted
11:09
version
11:09
of
11:09
Andy's
11:10
own
11:10
unconscious
11:11
rage.
11:11
Who
11:12
goes
11:12
after
11:12
Andy's
11:13
bullies,
11:14
teachers,
11:14
the
11:14
dentist
11:15
and
11:16
eventually
11:16
goes
11:16
after
11:17
Andy
11:17
and
11:17
his
11:17
own
11:18
mother.
11:18
But
11:19
the
11:19
audience
11:19
wouldn't
11:20
be
11:20
sure
11:20
if
11:20
it
11:20
was
11:20
actually
11:21
Andy
11:21
or
11:21
not.
11:22
And
11:22
the
11:22
doll
11:23
could
11:23
only
11:23
come
11:23
to
11:23
life
11:24
while
11:24
Andy
11:24
was
11:25
asleep.
11:26
Mancinis
11:26
original
11:27
idea
11:27
was
11:27
for
11:28
it
11:28
to
11:28
be
11:28
a
11:28
social
11:29
commentary
11:30
about
11:30
the
11:30
commercialization
11:31
of
11:31
toys
11:32
and
11:32
how
11:32
harmful
11:33
the
11:33
marketing
11:33
was
11:34
to
11:34
children.
11:35
Over
11:35
time,
11:36
though,
11:36
the
11:36
script
11:36
morphed
11:37
into
11:37
an
11:38
outright
11:38
horror
11:39
tale.
11:40
This
11:40
was
11:40
all
11:41
happening
11:41
not
11:41
too
11:41
long
11:42
after
11:42
a
11:42
nightmare
11:42
on
11:42
Elm
11:43
street,
11:43
which
11:43
had
11:43
a
11:44
significant
11:44
role
11:45
in
11:45
the
11:45
growth
11:45
of
11:45
the
11:46
such
11:46
a
11:46
subgenre.
11:47
Freddy
11:48
was
11:48
a
11:48
villain
11:48
that
11:48
could
11:49
verbally
11:49
torment
11:49
people
11:50
and
11:50
had
11:51
a
11:51
very
11:51
peculiar
11:52
sense
11:52
of
11:52
humor.
11:53
Mancini
11:54
was
11:54
deliberately
11:54
motivated
11:55
by
11:55
the
11:55
concept
11:56
of
11:56
Chucky,
11:57
a
11:57
child's
11:57
toy
11:58
with
11:58
an
11:58
innocent
11:58
appearance,
11:59
but
12:00
also
12:00
an
12:00
incredibly
12:01
foul
12:01
mouth.
12:02
At
12:03
around
12:03
the
12:03
same
12:03
time,
12:04
in
12:04
1985,
12:05
Hasbro
12:06
came
12:06
out
12:07
with
12:07
the
12:07
my
12:07
buddy
12:08
doll
12:08
line
12:09
with
12:09
the
12:09
intention
12:09
of
12:10
making
12:10
a
12:10
doll
12:10
line
12:11
for
12:11
boys.
12:12
But
12:12
we're
12:12
gonna
12:13
come
12:13
back
12:13
to
12:13
that.
12:15
Meanwhile,
12:15
David
12:16
Kirchner,
12:16
who
12:16
was
12:17
producing
12:17
an
12:17
american
12:18
tale
12:18
for
12:18
Amblin,
12:19
wanted
12:19
to
12:19
branch
12:20
out
12:20
from
12:20
animation
12:21
and
12:21
children's
12:21
entertainment,
12:22
and
12:23
he
12:23
believed
12:23
in
12:23
the
12:23
darkness
12:24
of
12:24
childrens
12:25
imaginations.
12:26
Hed
12:27
been
12:27
holidaying
12:27
in
12:28
London
12:28
and
12:28
read
12:28
a
12:28
copy
12:29
of
12:29
the
12:29
Dollhouse
12:30
murders
12:30
by
12:30
Bessie
12:31
Wren
12:31
Wright.
12:32
Hed
12:32
been
12:32
scared
12:33
of
12:33
his
12:33
toys
12:33
as
12:33
a
12:34
child
12:34
and
12:34
wanted
12:34
to
12:35
make
12:35
something
12:35
about
12:36
dolls.
12:37
While
12:37
developing
12:38
projects
12:38
for
12:38
Disney,
12:39
he
12:39
came
12:39
across
12:40
Mancinis
12:40
script
12:41
for
12:41
Bloodbuddy,
12:42
which
12:42
had
12:42
been
12:43
passed
12:43
over
12:43
by
12:44
several
12:44
other
12:44
studios.
12:45
Charles
12:46
Band,
12:46
who
12:46
was
12:47
known
12:47
for
12:47
his
12:47
low
12:47
budget
12:48
horror
12:48
studio
12:48
that
12:49
may
12:49
dolls
12:50
and
12:50
Puppetmaster,
12:51
was
12:51
interested,
12:52
but
12:52
he
12:52
didnt
12:53
buy
12:53
it.
12:53
Kirchner
12:54
loved
12:54
the
12:55
script
12:55
and
12:55
added
12:56
his
12:56
own
12:56
idea
12:56
of
12:57
the
12:57
concept
12:57
of
12:57
a
12:57
serial
12:58
killer's
12:58
soul
12:59
being
12:59
transferred
13:00
into
13:00
the
13:00
doll.
13:01
A
13:01
Frankenstein
13:02
moment
13:03
including
13:03
lightning.
13:04
And
13:04
the
13:04
serial
13:05
killer
13:05
would
13:05
be
13:06
named
13:06
Charles
13:06
Lee
13:07
Ray,
13:07
after
13:08
three
13:08
infamous
13:08
killers,
13:09
Charles
13:10
Manson,
13:10
Lee
13:11
Harvey
13:11
Oswald,
13:11
and
13:12
James
13:12
Earl
13:12
Ray.
13:14
Originally,
13:14
the
13:15
character
13:15
had
13:15
ethrica
13:16
Siegels
13:16
style
13:17
hairdo.
13:17
And
13:17
if
13:18
you
13:18
don't
13:18
know
13:18
who
13:18
flucas
13:18
eagles
13:19
are,
13:19
watch
13:19

singer.
13:20
Very
13:21
eighties
13:21
band,
13:21
weird
13:22
hair.
13:22
Bert
13:23
Mancini
13:23
had
13:24
described
13:24
him
13:24
as
13:25
freckled,
13:25
red
13:26
headed,
13:26
with
13:26
overalls
13:27
and
13:27
a
13:27
striped
13:28
shirt.
13:28
And
13:29
it
13:29
was
13:29
Kirchner
13:29
who
13:30
drew
13:30
the
13:30
first
13:30
pencil
13:31
sketches
13:31
of
13:31
the
13:31
character
13:32
who
13:32
would
13:32
become
13:33
chucky,
13:34
using
13:34
this
13:34
sketch
13:35
as
13:35
a
13:35
selling
13:35
point.
13:36
During
13:36
meetings,
13:37
several
13:37
studios
13:38
expressed
13:38
interest
13:39
in
13:39
producing
13:39
the
13:40
film.
13:41
Tony
13:41
Thermopoulos
13:42
from
13:42
United
13:42
Artists
13:43
won
13:43
the
13:43
Biddenness
13:44
and
13:44
brought
13:44
in
13:44
director
13:45
of
13:45
the
13:45
tv
13:46
show
13:46
Freddys
13:47
Nightmares,
13:47
John
13:48
Lafia,
13:48
to
13:49
sharpen
13:49
the
13:49
screenplay.
13:50
They
13:50
didnt
13:51
want
13:51
Don
13:51
Mancini
13:52
be
13:52
writing
13:53
at
13:53
this
13:53
stage.
13:54
Lafayer
13:55
wrote
13:55
two
13:55
drafts
13:55
before
13:56
Tom
13:56
Holland,
13:57
whod
13:57
previously
13:57
had
13:57
a
13:58
hit
13:58
with
13:58
Fright
13:58
Night
13:59
came
13:59
on
13:59
board
14:00
to
14:00
take
14:00
a
14:00
stab
14:01
at
14:01
rewriting
14:01
the
14:01
script,
14:02
no
14:02
pun
14:02
intended.
14:03
Holland
14:04
added
14:04
the
14:04
voodoo
14:05
and
14:05
the
14:05
rule
14:06
that
14:06
Charles
14:06
Lee
14:06
Ray
14:07
could
14:07
only
14:07
transfer
14:08
his
14:08
soul
14:08
into
14:09
the
14:09
body
14:09
of
14:10
the
14:10
first
14:10
person.
14:10
He
14:11
reveals
14:11
his
14:11
true
14:12
self
14:12
to
14:13
its
14:13
worth,
14:13
adding
14:14
at
14:14
this
14:14
point
14:14
that
14:14
Mancini,
14:15
Lafayette
14:15
and
14:16
Holland
14:16
have
14:17
always
14:17
disagreed
14:18
on
14:18
the
14:18
script's
14:19
origins,
14:19
with
14:20
Holland
14:20
suggesting
14:21
that
14:21
his
14:21
script
14:22
was
14:22
an
14:22
original
14:23
work.
14:23
Due
14:24
to
14:24
his
14:24
extensive
14:25
rewrites
14:25
of
14:25
both
14:26
Mancini
14:26
and
14:27
Lafayas
14:27
work,
14:28
and
14:28
discrediting
14:29
both
14:29
Lafaya
14:30
and
14:30
Mancinis
14:31
involvement,
14:32
the
14:32
Writers
14:32
Guild
14:32
of
14:33
America
14:33
would
14:33
arbitrate
14:34
and
14:34
they
14:34
would
14:35
disagree
14:35
with
14:36
Hollande
14:36
and
14:37
give
14:37
equal
14:38
credit
14:38
to
14:38
Holland,
14:39
Nafia
14:39
and
14:40
Mancini
14:40
for
14:41
the
14:41
screenplay,
14:42
as
14:42
well
14:42
as
14:42
give
14:43
a
14:43
story
14:43
by
14:44
credit
14:44
solely
14:45
to
14:45
Don
14:46
Mancini.
14:47
All
14:47
three
14:47
men
14:47
would
14:48
disagree
14:48
on
14:48
who
14:49
actually
14:49
created
14:49
the
14:50
character
14:50
of
14:50
Chucky,
14:51
since,
14:51
although
14:52
generally
14:52
Mancini
14:53
is
14:53
seen
14:54
and
14:54
recognised
14:54
by
14:54
the
14:55
fans
14:55
as
14:55
the
14:55
creator
14:56
as
14:57
well
14:57
as
14:57
at
14:57
the
14:57
time
14:58
of
14:58
the
14:58
creation,
14:59
he
14:59
was
14:59
encouraged
14:59
by
15:00
a
15:00
lawyer
15:00
to
15:01
describe
15:01
the
15:01
doll
15:01
with
15:02
as
15:02
much
15:02
detail
15:02
as
15:03
possible
15:03
in
15:03
that
15:03
original
15:04
script
15:05
to
15:05
prove
15:05
legal
15:06
creation
15:07
to
15:07
which
15:07
he
15:07
did.
15:08
He
15:08
described
15:09
the
15:09
red
15:09
hair,
15:10
the
15:10
fact
15:10
the
15:10
character
15:10
was
15:11
2ft
15:11
tall,
15:11
that
15:12
he
15:12
had
15:12
blue
15:12
eyes,
15:13
crackles
15:13
and
15:14
a
15:14
striped
15:14
shirt.
15:15
And
15:15
when
15:16
David
15:16
Kirschner
15:17
created
15:17
those
15:17
initial
15:18
drawings,
15:19
he
15:19
didnt
15:19
deviate
15:20
at
15:20
all
15:20
from
15:20
Mancinis
15:21
description,
15:22
which
15:22
would
15:22
lead
15:23
to,
15:23
from
15:23
a
15:23
legal
15:24
point
15:24
of
15:24
view,
15:24
Don
15:25
Mancini
15:25
being
15:26
the
15:26
creator
15:26
of
15:27
Chucky.
15:28
But
15:29
back
15:29
to
15:29
Hasbro
15:29
and
15:29
my
15:30
buddy,
15:30
because
15:30
if
15:30
youve
15:30
ever
15:31
seen
15:31
a
15:31
my
15:31
buddy
15:32
doll,
15:32
youll
15:33
remember
15:33
they
15:34
look
15:34
remarkably
15:35
similar
15:35
to
15:35
chooky,
15:36
with
15:36
overalls
15:37
and
15:37
a
15:37
stripey
15:38
shirt.
15:39
Director
15:39
Tom
15:39
Holland
15:40
has
15:40
since
15:40
confirmed
15:41
that
15:41
the
15:41
name
15:41
was
15:41
changed
15:42
from
15:42
Buddy
15:42
to
15:43
Chicky
15:43
to
15:44
also
15:44
avoid
15:44
a
15:45
lawsuit
15:45
from
15:45
Hasbray,
15:46
even
15:46
though
15:46
a
15:47
lawsuit
15:47
probably
15:48
could
15:48
have
15:48
been
15:48
filed
15:49
on
15:49
likeness
15:49
alone.
15:50
And
15:50
from
15:50
what
15:51
I
15:51
can
15:51
find,
15:51
Hatsbro
15:52
never
15:52
did
15:52
file
15:53
a
15:53
suit
15:53
against
15:54
United
15:54
Artists.
15:56
The
15:56
idea
15:56
for
15:57
Chucky
15:57
was
15:57
always
15:58
to
15:58
utilise
15:58
animatronics,
15:59
and
16:00
this
16:00
had
16:00
been
16:00
done
16:00
so
16:01
spectacularly
16:02
in
16:02
Gremlins.
16:03
But
16:03
they
16:04
wanted
16:04
to
16:04
push
16:04
the
16:04
boat
16:05
with
16:05
these
16:05
animatronics,
16:06
and
16:06
Chilki
16:07
would
16:07
end
16:07
up
16:07
using
16:07
some
16:08
of
16:08
the
16:08
most
16:08
advanced
16:09
animatronics
16:10
available
16:10
at
16:11
the
16:11
time.
16:12
Tom
16:12
Holland
16:12
and
16:13
John
16:13
Lafaye
16:13
continued
16:14
to
16:14
make
16:14
changes
16:15
to
16:15
the
16:15
script
16:15
and
16:15
the
16:16
project
16:16
continued
16:17
to
16:17
evolve,
16:18
with
16:18
Lafayer
16:18
giving
16:18
the
16:19
character
16:19
of
16:19
Chucky
16:19
a
16:20
backstory
16:20
as
16:20
a
16:21
human
16:21
who
16:21
became
16:22
a
16:22
doll.
16:22
Tom
16:23
Horand
16:23
then
16:24
left
16:24
production
16:25
to
16:25
direct
16:25
Fatal
16:26
Beauty,
16:26
and
16:27
Don
16:27
Mancini
16:28
at
16:28
that
16:28
point
16:29
was
16:29
pushed
16:29
aside
16:30
for
16:30
the
16:30
most
16:30
part
16:30
by
16:31
the
16:31
studio.
16:32
And
16:32
then
16:32
when
16:32
it
16:32
came
16:33
to
16:33
choosing
16:33
a
16:33
director,
16:34
they
16:34
looked
16:35
at
16:35
William
16:35
Friedking,
16:36
Robert
16:36
Wise,
16:37
Urban
16:37
Kirchner,
16:38
Joseph
16:38
Ruben
16:39
and
16:39
Howard
16:40
Franklin.
16:40
They
16:41
were
16:41
all
16:41
considered.
16:42
Rehmann
16:42
and
16:42
Franklin
16:43
were
16:43
close
16:44
to
16:44
getting
16:44
the
16:44
job.
16:45
Apparently.
16:46
Even
16:46
Rocky
16:46
Morton
16:47
and
16:47
Annabelle
16:47
Jankle,
16:48
future
16:48
directors
16:49
of
16:49
Thicc
16:49
and
16:49
Mario
16:49
Brothers,
16:50
were
16:50
also
16:50
discussed.
16:51
But
16:52
they
16:52
kept
16:52
coming
16:52
back
16:53
to
16:53
Tom
16:53
Hollande.
16:54
And
16:54
the
16:54
idea
16:54
that
16:55
Tom
16:55
Holland
16:56
was
16:56
talented
16:57
but
16:57
also
16:57
a
16:58
little
16:58
bit
16:58
arrogant
16:59
also,
16:59
said
16:59
Steven
17:00
Spielberg,
17:01
who'd
17:01
worked
17:01
with
17:01
him
17:02
on
17:02
amazing
17:02
stories.
17:03
An
17:04
invitation
17:04
to
17:04
direct
17:05
was
17:05
sent
17:05
to
17:06
Tom
17:06
Holland
17:06
and
17:07
a
17:07
whole
17:07
year
17:07
had
17:07
passed
17:08
by
17:08
that
17:08
point.
17:08
And
17:09
Tom
17:09
Holland
17:09
agreed
17:10
to
17:10
direct
17:11
the
17:11
year
17:11
after
17:11
his
17:12
previous
17:12
involvement
17:13
with
17:13
the
17:13
script
17:14
and
17:14
returned
17:14
to
17:14
the
17:15
newly
17:15
titled
17:15
child's
17:16
play
17:17
with
17:17
something
17:18
else
17:18
with
17:19
grad
17:19
Dorith.
17:19
Now,
17:20
Brad
17:20
Dourif
17:20
had
17:20
played
17:21
the
17:21
villain
17:21
in
17:21
fatal
17:22
beauty.
17:22
And
17:23
Holland
17:23
loved
17:24
his,
17:24
quote,
17:24
gleeful
17:25
sadism,
17:26
thinking
17:27
he
17:27
would
17:27
be
17:27
a
17:28
great
17:28
vocal
17:28
performance
17:29
for
17:29
Chucky.
17:30
And
17:31
Im
17:31
going
17:31
to
17:31
come
17:31
back
17:31
to
17:31
Brad
17:32
Dourif
17:32
and
17:32
the
17:32
boys
17:32
of
17:33
Chucky
17:33
in
17:33
a
17:33
bit
17:34
because
17:34
first
17:35
they
17:35
had
17:35
to
17:35
cast
17:35
the
17:36
other
17:36
roles
17:36
in
17:36
the
17:36
movie.
17:37
Holland
17:38
had
17:38
worked
17:38
with
17:38
Chris
17:39
Sarandon
17:39
in
17:39
fright
17:40
night
17:40
and
17:40
cast
17:41
him
17:41
immediately
17:42
as
17:42
detective
17:42
Norris.
17:43
Katherine
17:44
Hicks
17:44
had
17:44
worked
17:45
with
17:45
director
17:45
Leonard
17:46
Nimoy
17:46
on
17:46
Star
17:47
Trek
17:47
the
17:47
Voyage
17:48
Home.
17:48
And
17:49
Nimoy
17:49
recommended
17:50
her
17:50
to
17:50
Holland
17:50
for
17:51
the
17:51
role
17:51
of
17:51
Karen
17:52
Barclay.
17:53
Casting
17:54
young
17:54
Andy
17:54
Barclay
17:55
was
17:55
always
17:56
going
17:56
to
17:56
be
17:56
a
17:56
tough
17:57
sell
17:57
because
17:58
fundamentally,
17:59
this
17:59
is
17:59
a
17:59
small
17:59
child
18:00
starring
18:01
in
18:01
a
18:01
such
18:01
a
18:02
horror.
18:03
Young
18:03
Alex
18:03
Vincent
18:04
had
18:04
been
18:04
an
18:05
extra
18:05
in
18:05
a
18:05
couple
18:05
of
18:06
things
18:06
but
18:06
had
18:06
never
18:07
really
18:07
properly
18:08
acted
18:08
before.
18:09
He
18:09
was
18:09
auditioned
18:10
amongst
18:10
some
18:10
other
18:11
young
18:11
boys
18:11
in
18:11
New
18:12
York
18:12
and
18:12
then
18:12
received
18:13
a
18:13
call
18:13
back
18:13
to
18:14
Laden.
18:15
He
18:15
was
18:15
chosen
18:16
because
18:16
he
18:16
pretended
18:16
to
18:17
forget
18:17
his
18:17
lines
18:18
to
18:18
avoid
18:18
swearing
18:19
in
18:19
front
18:19
of
18:19
his
18:20
mother.
18:20
And
18:21
this
18:21
ability
18:21
to
18:21
improvise
18:22
impressed
18:23
producers.
18:24
Holland
18:24
would
18:25
say
18:25
he
18:25
found
18:25
Vincent
18:26
innocent,
18:27
depressed
18:27
and
18:27
vulnerable.
18:28
He
18:29
didn't
18:29
know
18:29
what
18:29
was
18:30
really
18:30
going
18:30
on.
18:30
He
18:31
was
18:31
six
18:31
years
18:31
old,
18:31
of
18:32
course,
18:32
but
18:33
that
18:33
he
18:33
had
18:33
a
18:33
sweetness
18:34
and
18:34
sensitivity
18:35
to
18:35
him
18:35
that
18:36
would
18:36
make
18:36
one
18:36
of
18:37
his
18:37
scenes
18:37
particularly
18:38
heartbreaking.
18:39
As
18:39
to
18:39
how
18:39
fantastic
18:40
a
18:40
little
18:40
actor
18:41
he
18:41
was.
18:41
Despite
18:42
the
18:42
actual
18:42
level
18:43
of
18:43
acting
18:43
probably
18:44
being
18:44
a
18:44
little
18:45
bit
18:45
dubious.
18:46
I'm
18:46
going
18:46
to
18:46
come
18:46
back
18:46
to
18:47
that
18:47
a
18:47
little
18:47
bit
18:47
later,
18:47
though.
18:48
They
18:48
also
18:49
hired
18:49
Ed
18:49
Gale.
18:50
He'd
18:51
also
18:51
starred
18:52
as
18:52
the
18:52
infamous
18:53
Howard
18:53
the
18:53
duck.
18:54
And
18:54
as
18:55
a
18:55
little
18:55
person,
18:56
he
18:56
was
18:56
hired
18:56
as
18:57
the
18:57
body
18:57
of
18:57
Chucky.
18:58
But
18:59
he
18:59
would
18:59
eventually
18:59
be
19:00
credited
19:00
as
19:00
Chucky's
19:01
stunt
19:01
double
19:02
and
19:02
would
19:02
only
19:02
be
19:03
supplementing
19:03
the
19:03
puppet
19:04
work
19:04
and
19:04
animatronics.
19:06
And
19:06
so
19:06
back
19:06
to
19:07
Brad
19:07
Dourif
19:08
because
19:08
he'd
19:08
been
19:09
rehearsing
19:09
with
19:10
the
19:10
lead
19:10
actors
19:10
for
19:11
scenes
19:11
where
19:11
the
19:11
doll
19:12
comes
19:12
to
19:12
life
19:13
and
19:13
had
19:13
also
19:14
pre
19:14
recorded
19:15
several
19:15
of
19:15
the
19:15
lines
19:15
for
19:16
on
19:16
set
19:16
playback,
19:17
but
19:17
then
19:18
he
19:18
became
19:18
unavailable
19:19
for
19:19
the
19:19
rest
19:20
of
19:20
Chuckys
19:20
voice
19:20
work
19:21
due
19:21
to
19:22
filming
19:22
Mississippi
19:23
burning.
19:24
And
19:24
while
19:24
he
19:24
would
19:24
be
19:25
retained
19:25
as
19:25
the
19:26
acting
19:26
performance
19:26
for
19:27
the
19:27
serial
19:27
killer
19:28
Charles
19:28
Lee
19:28
Ray,
19:29
instead,
19:30
the
19:30
production
19:30
decided
19:31
to
19:31
cast
19:31
a
19:31
woman
19:32
to
19:32
play
19:33
the
19:33
voice
19:33
of
19:33
Chippy
19:34
the
19:34
doll,
19:35
and
19:35
the
19:35
reason
19:36
stemmed
19:36
from
19:36
the
19:36
Exorcist.
19:37
The
19:38
voice
19:38
of
19:38
Vadima
19:39
Pazuzu
19:39
is
19:40
credited
19:40
to
19:40
a
19:40
few
19:41
people,
19:41
but
19:41
most
19:42
notably
19:42
Mercedes
19:43
McCainbridge.
19:44
Horan's
19:45
idea
19:45
was
19:45
to
19:45
have
19:46
Chuckys
19:46
voice
19:46
feel
19:47
distorted
19:48
and
19:48
otherworldly.
19:49
He
19:49
first
19:50
tried
19:50
to
19:50
use
19:50
an
19:50
electronic
19:51
overlay
19:51
to
19:52
the
19:52
voice,
19:52
like
19:53
a
19:53
Robbie
19:53
the
19:53
robot
19:54
thing,
19:54
because
19:55
that's
19:55
how
19:55
the
19:55
toys
19:55
with
19:56
sound
19:56
chips
19:56
worked.
19:57
But
19:57
it
19:57
didn't
19:58
sound
19:58
great,
19:59
so
19:59
he
19:59
went
19:59
back
20:00
to
20:00
hiring
20:00
a
20:00
woman.
20:01
And
20:01
he
20:01
had
20:02
an
20:02
actress
20:02
in
20:02
mind
20:03
too.
20:03
Jessica
20:04
Walter
20:04
the
20:04
late,
20:05
great
20:05
Jessica
20:05
Walter,
20:06
most
20:06
recently
20:07
well
20:07
known
20:07
for
20:08
arrested
20:08
development
20:08
and
20:09
archerhouse,
20:10
shed
20:10
starred
20:11
as
20:11
a
20:11
jealous
20:11
and
20:11
obsessed
20:12
fan
20:12

Misty

for
20:17
me
20:17
in
20:17
1971,
20:19
which
20:19
led
20:19
to
20:19
a
20:19
Golden
20:20
Globe
20:20
nomination
20:21

20:22
in

a
20:22
motion
20:22
picture
20:22
Drama.
20:23
It
20:24
was
20:24
thought
20:24
she
20:24
could
20:24
be
20:25
threatening
20:25
and
20:25
menacing
20:26
as
20:26
Chucky,
20:27
but
20:27
she
20:27
obviously
20:28
didnt
20:28
stay
20:28
as
20:29
the
20:29
boys
20:29
of
20:29
Chucky,
20:29

too.

a
20:32
lot
20:32
to
20:32
come
20:32
back
20:32
to
20:33
on
20:33
this
20:33
episode.
20:34
As
20:35
for
20:35
the
20:35
body
20:35
of
20:36
Chucky,
20:36
the
20:36
plan
20:37
was
20:37
to
20:37
use
20:37
state
20:38
of
20:38
the
20:38
art
20:38
animatronic
20:39
dolls
20:40
as
20:40
well
20:40
as
20:41
Ed
20:41
Gale,
20:41
the
20:42
little
20:42
person
20:42
hired
20:43
to
20:43
play
20:43
Chucky
20:43
in
20:44
some
20:44
key
20:44
scenes
20:45
and
20:45
also
20:46
to
20:46
use
20:46
child
20:47
actors.
20:48
Chucky
20:48
was
20:48
designed
20:49
by
20:49
Kevin
20:49
Yeager.
20:50
Hed
20:50

20:56
keeper
20:57
full
20:57

the

20:59
Thats
20:59
episode
21:00
66
21:00
of
21:00
this
21:00
podcast.
21:01
I
21:01
love
21:02
recommending
21:02
tales
21:02
from
21:03
the
21:03
crypt
21:03
Demon
21:03
Knight.
21:04
He
21:04
would
21:05
also
21:05
go
21:05
on
21:05
to
21:05
marry
21:06
star
21:06
Katherine
21:07
Hicks
21:07
in
21:07
1990.
21:08
They
21:09
met
21:09
on
21:09
the
21:09
set
21:09
of
21:09
this
21:10
movie
21:10
and
21:10
they
21:11
are
21:11
still
21:11
together
21:12
to
21:12
this
21:12
day.
21:13
Yeager
21:14
was
21:14
hired.
21:14
Actor
21:15
Chris
21:15
Wallace,
21:16
the
21:16
guy
21:16
who
21:16
did
21:16
the
21:16
puppetry
21:17
for
21:17
gremlins,
21:18
decided
21:18
to
21:18
direct
21:19
the
21:19
fly
21:19
too.
21:20
Rick
21:20
Baker
21:21
also
21:21
declined.
21:22
Yeager
21:23
was
21:23
in
21:23
his
21:23
mid
21:24
twenties
21:24
at
21:24
the
21:24
time,
21:25
and
21:25
he
21:25
and
21:25
the
21:25
special
21:26
effects
21:26
team
21:27
would
21:27
spend
21:27
months
21:28
perfecting
21:28
the
21:28
Chucky
21:29
puppet.
21:29
And
21:29
Chucky
21:30
would
21:30
be
21:30
a
21:31
difficult
21:31
performer
21:32
on
21:32
set.
21:33
It
21:33
would
21:33
lead
21:33
to
21:33
already
21:34
strained
21:34
relationships
21:35
on
21:35
set
21:35
becoming
21:36
even
21:37
more
21:37
strained.
21:38
The
21:38
team
21:38
created
21:39
multiple
21:39
Chucky
21:40
animatronic
21:40
heads
21:41
such
21:41
as
21:41
a
21:42
flailing
21:42
tantrum
21:42
chucky,
21:43
a
21:43
walking
21:44
chooky
21:44
and
21:44
a
21:45
stationary
21:45
chooky.
21:46
And
21:46
getting
21:46
chooky
21:47
to
21:47
move
21:47
wasnt
21:48
the
21:48
problem.
21:48
It
21:49
was
21:49
getting
21:49
chooky
21:50
to
21:50
move
21:50
in
21:50
the
21:51
right
21:51
way,
21:52
his
21:52
hands
21:52
had
21:52
to
21:53
be
21:53
changed
21:53
three
21:53
times
21:54
a
21:54
day.
21:54
After
21:54
the
21:55
aluminium
21:55
fingers
21:56
would
21:56
wear
21:57
through
21:57
his
21:57
latex
21:58
skin.
21:58
He
21:59
had
21:59
a
21:59
fiberglass
21:59
core.
22:00
That
22:00
housed
22:01
complex
22:01
mechanisms.
22:02
That
22:02
could
22:03
create
22:03
subtle
22:04
facial
22:04
gestures.
22:05
Not
22:06
only
22:06
did
22:06
they
22:06
build
22:06
force
22:07
perspective
22:07
sets
22:08
30%
22:08
larger
22:09
for
22:09
Ed
22:09
Gale
22:10
and
22:10
the
22:10
child
22:11
actors.
22:11
To
22:11
convincingly
22:12
portray
22:12
Chucky
22:13
running
22:13
or
22:14
generally
22:14
moving
22:14
the
22:14
way
22:15
the
22:15
animatronic
22:15
couldnt.
22:16
They
22:17
also
22:17
built
22:17
entire
22:18
sets
22:18
6ft
22:19
above
22:19
the
22:19
ground.
22:19
So
22:20
the
22:20
puppeteers
22:20
could
22:21
operate
22:21
the
22:21
animatronic
22:22
dolls
22:22
from
22:23
beneath
22:23
the
22:23
floor.
22:24
The
22:24
monitors
22:25
for
22:25
the
22:25
puppeteers
22:26
were
22:26
reversed,
22:26
though,
22:27
meaning
22:28
to
22:28
make
22:28
him
22:28
look
22:28
left.
22:29
They
22:30
saw
22:30
him
22:30
as
22:30
looking
22:31
right.
22:31
And
22:32
so
22:32
it
22:32
was
22:32
tricky
22:32
to
22:33
coordinate
22:33
all
22:34
the
22:34
movements.
22:35
It
22:35
would
22:35
take
22:35
a
22:36
team
22:36
of
22:36
eleven
22:36
people
22:37
to
22:37
puppeteer
22:38
Chucky.
22:38
Multiple
22:39
puppeteers
22:40
had
22:40
to
22:40
work
22:40
in
22:40
unison
22:41
to
22:41
create
22:41
fluid
22:42
movement.
22:42
One
22:43
would
22:43
handle
22:43
the
22:44
hands,
22:44
another
22:44
the
22:44
eyebrows,
22:45
another
22:46
the
22:46
mouth,
22:46
and
22:47
so
22:47
on.
22:48
They
22:48
had
22:48
multiple
22:48
heads,
22:49
arms
22:50
and
22:50
dummies
22:50
that
22:50
were
22:51
on
22:51
hand
22:51
at
22:51
all
22:51
times.
22:52
Just
22:52
in
22:53
case
22:53
a
22:53
change
22:54
needed
22:54
to
22:54
happen.
22:55
To
22:56
get
22:56
Chucky
22:56
to
22:56
roll
22:57
under
22:57
the
22:57
sofa
22:58
when
22:58
he
22:58
comes
22:58
alive
22:58
in
22:59
Karens
22:59
hands.
23:00
Would
23:00
lead
23:00
to
23:00
the
23:00
set
23:01
being
23:01
tilted
23:02
at
23:02
45
23:02
degrees
23:03
to
23:03
get
23:03
the
23:03
doll
23:04
to
23:04
bounce
23:04
and
23:04
then
23:05
roll
23:05
under
23:05
the
23:05
sofa.
23:06
That
23:07
this
23:07
was
23:07
all
23:07
brand
23:08
new
23:08
technology
23:08
didnt
23:09
help.
23:10
The
23:10
animatronic
23:10
dolls
23:11
face
23:11
was
23:11
controlled
23:12
via
23:12
remote
23:12
control
23:13
through
23:13
a
23:13
rig.
23:14
Capturing
23:14
facial
23:15
movements
23:15
on
23:16
puppeteer
23:16
Brock
23:17
winklers.
23:17
Where
23:18
he
23:18
would
23:18
mouth
23:19
the
23:19
loins
23:19
already
23:20
recorded
23:20
in
23:20
pre
23:21
production.
23:22
Chucky
23:22
would
23:22
also
23:23
visibly
23:23
change
23:24
as
23:24
the
23:24
movie
23:24
progressed.
23:25
His
23:25
hairline
23:26
would
23:26
recede.
23:27
And
23:27
he
23:27
would
23:27
become
23:28
visibly
23:28
more
23:29
like
23:29
Brad
23:29
Douris.
23:30
Ed
23:31
Gale,
23:31
who
23:31
was
23:31
practically
23:32
blind
23:32
while
23:33
playing
23:33
Chucky,
23:34
also
23:34
got
23:35
set
23:35
on
23:35
fire
23:35
for
23:35
the
23:36
climactic
23:36
fireplace
23:37
scene.
23:38
As
23:38
it
23:38
would
23:38
have
23:38
cost
23:39
too
23:39
much
23:40
for
23:40
them
23:40
to
23:40
actually
23:41
burn
23:41
a
23:41
Chucky
23:42
animatronic.
23:43
So
23:43
it
23:43
was
23:43
too
23:43
much
23:44
for
23:44
them
23:44
to
23:44
burn
23:45
an
23:45
animatronic.
23:46
But
23:46
not
23:46
too
23:46
much
23:47
for
23:47
them
23:47
to
23:47
burn
23:47
an
23:48
actual
23:48
human
23:48
being.
23:49
Gael
23:50
would
23:50
only
23:50
be
23:50
set
23:51
on
23:51
fire
23:51
for
23:52
a
23:52
limited
23:52
period
23:52
of
23:53
time.
23:53
So
23:54
he
23:54
was
23:54
on
23:54
fire
23:54
in
23:55
the
23:55
fireplace,
23:56
which
23:56
was
23:56
then
23:56
cut.
23:57
He
23:57
would
23:57
have
23:57
then
23:58
been
23:58
hosed
23:58
down
23:59
and
23:59
then
23:59
set
23:59
on
24:00
fire
24:00
again
24:00
to
24:00
kick
24:01
the
24:01
grate
24:01
open,
24:02
which
24:02
was
24:02
then
24:03
obviously
24:03
cut.
24:04
Hose
24:04
down
24:04
and
24:04
then
24:05
set
24:05
on
24:05
fire
24:05
again
24:06
to
24:06
walk
24:06
out.
24:07
And
24:07
each
24:07
take
24:08
was
24:08
about
24:08
45
24:09
seconds.
24:10
He
24:10
had
24:11
a
24:11
full
24:11
burn
24:11
suit
24:12
on
24:12
and
24:12
an
24:12
oxygen
24:13
mask,
24:13
but
24:14
still
24:14
he
24:14
was
24:14
set
24:14
on
24:15
fire.
24:15
Dale
24:16
would
24:16
liaise
24:16
with
24:16
the
24:17
puppeteers
24:17
to
24:17
synchronize
24:18
his
24:18
movements
24:19
to
24:19
the
24:19
puppet.
24:20
So
24:20
that
24:20
the
24:20
switch
24:21
between
24:21
him
24:21
and
24:22
the
24:22
puppet
24:22
would
24:22
look
24:23
seamless
24:23
on
24:23
film.
24:25
Principal
24:25
photography
24:26
on
24:26
Childs
24:26
play
24:27
began
24:27
in
24:27
January
24:28
1988.
24:29
With
24:29
a
24:30
variety
24:30
of
24:30
Chicago
24:31
locations
24:31
before
24:32
the
24:32
production
24:32
moved
24:33
to
24:33
Los
24:33
Angeles
24:34
for
24:34
soundstage
24:34
work
24:35
in
24:35
Culver
24:35
City,
24:36
the
24:36
Brewster
24:37
Apartments,
24:38
a
24:38
Chicago
24:38
landmark
24:39
located
24:39
at
24:39
Diversey
24:40
Parkway
24:40
and
24:41
Pine
24:41
Grove
24:41
Avenue,
24:42
became
24:42
the
24:42
Barclays
24:43
apartment
24:43
building.
24:44
Karen
24:45
Barclays
24:45
work
24:46
was
24:46
located
24:46
at
24:46
the
24:47
Carson
24:47
Pirie
24:48
Scott
24:48
and
24:48
Company
24:49
building.
24:50
The
24:50
Playland
24:51
toy
24:51
shop
24:51
was
24:51
filmed
24:52
on
24:52
418
24:53
South
24:53
Wabash
24:54
Avenue,
24:55
while
24:55
Eddies
24:56
home
24:56
was
24:56
filmed
24:56
in
24:56
a
24:57
North
24:57
Chicago
24:58
house
24:58
that
24:58
the
24:58
city
24:59
had
24:59
condemned
24:59
to
24:59
be
25:00
demolished.
25:01
The
25:01
temperature
25:02
in
25:02
Chicago
25:02
during
25:03
filming
25:03
was
25:04
bracing
25:05
with
25:05
a
25:05
wind
25:05
chill
25:05
factor
25:06
of
25:06
as
25:06
low
25:06
as
25:07
-50
25:08
degrees
25:08
fahrenheit,
25:09
which
25:09
is
25:09
about
25:10
-46
25:11
degrees
25:11
celsius.
25:12
So
25:12
when
25:13
I
25:13
say
25:13
it
25:13
was
25:13
super
25:14
cold
25:14
in
25:14
Chicago
25:15
that
25:15
winter,
25:16
it
25:17
really
25:17
was
25:18
super
25:18
cold.
25:19
Also
25:20
super
25:20
cold.
25:21
Lovely
25:21
little
25:21
segue
25:22
is
25:22
the
25:23
relationship
25:23
between
25:24
Tom
25:24
Holland
25:24
and
25:25
screenwriters
25:25
Don
25:26
Mancini
25:26
and
25:27
John
25:27
Lothia.
25:28
And
25:28
this
25:29
relationship
25:30
never
25:30
really
25:30
thawed
25:31
with
25:31
the
25:31
latter
25:32
two
25:32
men
25:32
never
25:33
appearing
25:33
on
25:34
Sethe.
25:35
Mancini
25:35
claimed
25:35
it
25:36
was
25:36
due
25:36
to
25:36
the
25:36
1988
25:37
Writers
25:37
Guild
25:38
of
25:38
America
25:38
strike
25:39
and
25:39
him
25:39
not
25:40
wanting
25:40
to
25:40
cross
25:40
the
25:41
picket
25:41
line.
25:42
But
25:42
that
25:42
strike
25:43
didnt
25:43
actually
25:43
begin
25:44
until
25:44
two
25:45
days
25:45
after
25:45
principal
25:46
photography
25:46
ended
25:47
on
25:47
the
25:47
5
25:48
March
25:48
1988.
25:50
So
25:50
chances
25:50
are
25:51
it
25:51
was
25:51
simply
25:51
due
25:52
to
25:52
the
25:52
fractured
25:52
relationship
25:53
between
25:54
Bozeman
25:54
and
25:55
director
25:55
Tom
25:56
Holland.
25:57
Holland
25:57
also
25:58
managed
25:58
to
25:58
get
25:58
a
25:58
convincing
25:59
performance
25:59
out
26:00
of
26:00
young
26:00
Alex
26:01
Vincent
26:01
in
26:01
the
26:01
paediatric
26:02
psychiatric
26:03
hospital,
26:04
which
26:04
is
26:04
recalled
26:05
differently
26:05
depending
26:06
on
26:06
who
26:06
you
26:07
speak
26:07
to.
26:08
Holland
26:08
would
26:08
say
26:08
he
26:09
repeated
26:09
the
26:09
scene
26:09
with
26:10
Vincent
26:10
over
26:11
and
26:11
over
26:11
again
26:12
and
26:12
the
26:12
six
26:12
year
26:13
old
26:13
boy
26:13
just
26:13
burst
26:14
into
26:14
tears.
26:15
Whereas
26:15
producer
26:16
David
26:16
Kirchner
26:17
recalls
26:17
it
26:18
differently.
26:19
He
26:19
remembers
26:19
Holland
26:20
screaming
26:20
at
26:20
Vincent,
26:21
saying
26:22
he
26:22
was
26:22
going
26:22
to
26:22
get
26:22
productions
26:23
shut
26:23
down
26:24
if
26:24
he
26:24
didn't
26:24
do
26:25
it.
26:25
And
26:25
the
26:25
boy
26:26
cried
26:26
real
26:27
tears.
26:27
There
26:28
were
26:28
also
26:28
rumours
26:29
that
26:29
Holland
26:29
told
26:29
him
26:30
his
26:30
parents
26:30
were
26:30
getting
26:31
divorced.
26:32
Accusations
26:33
of
26:33
bullying
26:34
on
26:34
the
26:34
set
26:34
of
26:34
child's
26:35
play
26:35
are
26:35
plentiful
26:36
and
26:36
most
26:37
of
26:37
those
26:37
are
26:37
in
26:37
Tom
26:38
Holland's
26:38
direction.
26:39
Saying
26:40
this,
26:40
any
26:41
time
26:41
there
26:41
was
26:41
an
26:42
argument
26:42
on
26:42
set
26:43
between
26:43
the
26:43
adults,
26:44
young
26:44
Alex
26:45
Vincent
26:45
was
26:46
always
26:46
removed
26:47
from
26:47
the
26:47
set.
26:48
So
26:48
going
26:49
back
26:49
to
26:49
the
26:49
voice
26:49
of
26:50
Chucky,
26:50
because
26:50
Jessica
26:51
Walters
26:51
voice
26:52
was
26:53
really
26:53
working
26:53
for
26:54
the
26:54
menacing
26:54
scenes,
26:55
but
26:55
it
26:56
wasn't
26:56
working
26:56
for
26:57
the
26:57
humour.
26:58
Tom
26:58
Holland
26:59
would
26:59
enlist
26:59
John
27:00
Franklin
27:00
to
27:01
re
27:01
record
27:01
Chuckys
27:02
voice
27:02
to
27:03
focus
27:03
on
27:03
that
27:03
humour.
27:04
But
27:04
obviously
27:05
also
27:05
Franklin
27:06
wouldnt
27:06
stay
27:06
as
27:07
the
27:07
voice
27:07
of
27:07
Chucky,
27:08
but
27:08
would
27:08
instead
27:08
be
27:09
credited
27:09
as
27:10
walkabout
27:10
Chucky,
27:11
the
27:11
chucky
27:12
that
27:12
we
27:12
hear
27:12
in
27:12
the
27:12
tv
27:13
commercial.
27:14
The
27:14
relationship
27:15
between
27:15
Kirschner
27:16
and
27:16
Holland
27:17
also
27:17
just
27:17
kept
27:18
going
27:18
downhill
27:18
due
27:19
to
27:19
the
27:19
onset
27:20
disagreements,
27:21
the
27:21
issues
27:21
with
27:21
the
27:21
Chucky
27:22
puppet.
27:22
And
27:23
in
27:23
addition,
27:23
the
27:24
studio
27:24
was
27:24
applying
27:25
pressure
27:25
due
27:25
to
27:26
the
27:26
costs.
27:27
It
27:27
would
27:27
lead
27:27
to
27:27
not
27:28
just
27:28
verbal
27:28
brawls,
27:29
but
27:29
according
27:30
to
27:30
Kirchner,
27:31
minor
27:31
physical
27:32
ones
27:32
too.
27:34
Childs
27:34
place
27:34
filming
27:35
was
27:35
completed
27:36
by
27:36
the
27:36
spring
27:36
of
27:37
1988.
27:38
The
27:38
first
27:39
test
27:39
wing
27:39
of
27:39
Childs
27:39
play,
27:40
though
27:40
just
27:41
like
27:41
Holland
27:41
and
27:42
Kirchner
27:43
and
27:43
Holland,
27:44
Lafayette
27:44
and
27:44
Mancini
27:45
also
27:46
didnt
27:46
play
27:47
well
27:47
with
27:47
others.
27:48
After
27:48
production
27:49
was
27:49
finished
27:49
and
27:50
Tom
27:50
Hollands
27:50
first
27:51
rough
27:51
cut
27:51
was
27:51
put
27:51
together,
27:52
it
27:52
was
27:53
screened
27:53
for
27:53
a
27:53
test
27:53
audience
27:54
who
27:54
werent
27:55
impressed.
27:56
Neither
27:56
was
27:56
David
27:57
Kirchner
27:57
and
27:58
brought
27:58
back
27:58
Don
27:58
Mancini
27:59
to
27:59
consult
27:59
on
28:00
the
28:00
cut.
28:01
Both
28:01
Mancini
28:02
and
28:02
Kirchner
28:02
thought
28:03
that
28:03
Tomahollen
28:04
showed
28:04
Chupitu
28:05
liberally
28:06
in
28:06
this
28:06
original
28:07
cut
28:07
which
28:08
was
28:08
2
28:08
hours
28:09
long.
28:09
Holland
28:10
declined
28:11
to
28:11
reduce
28:11
the
28:11
amount
28:12
of
28:12
time
28:12
that
28:12
Chuppy
28:13
got
28:13
on
28:13
screen.
28:14
And
28:14
reports
28:15
are
28:15
mixed
28:15
as
28:16
to
28:16
whether
28:16
he
28:16
walked
28:16
off
28:17
set
28:17
himself
28:18
or
28:18
whether
28:19
Kirchner
28:19
removed
28:20
him.
28:20
But
28:20
it's
28:20
at
28:21
this
28:21
point
28:21
that
28:21
Don
28:21
Mancini
28:22
was
28:22
invited
28:23
by
28:23
Kershner
28:24
into
28:24
the
28:24
editing
28:25
room
28:25
for
28:26
his
28:26
creative
28:26
input.
28:27
And
28:27
both
28:28
agreed
28:28
they
28:28
needed
28:29
to
28:29
treat
28:29
Chucky
28:30
like
28:30
Bruce
28:30
the
28:31
shark
28:31
in
28:31
Jaws
28:32
or
28:32
the
28:33
alien
28:33
in
28:33
alien
28:34
with
28:34
as
28:35
little
28:35
screen
28:35
time
28:36
as
28:36
possible.
28:37
And
28:37
so
28:38
quite
28:39
a
28:39
lot
28:39
of
28:39
the
28:39
movie
28:40
was
28:40
removed,
28:40
including
28:41
investigative
28:42
moments
28:43
with
28:43
Chris
28:43
Sarandon's
28:44
character
28:44
detective
28:45
Mike
28:45
Norris.
28:46
And
28:46
about
28:46
25
28:47
minutes
28:47
of
28:48
Chucky
28:48
footage
28:49
was
28:49
cut.
28:50
And
28:50
in
28:50
the
28:50
meantime,
28:51
Brad
28:51
Dourif,
28:51
who
28:52
was
28:52
now
28:52
available,
28:53
would
28:53
return
28:54
to
28:54
redub
28:55
the
28:55
voice
28:55
of
28:55
Chucky.
28:56
There
28:56
are
28:56
conflicting
28:57
reports
28:57
as
28:58
to
28:58
which
28:58
voice
28:58
was
28:59
used
28:59
in
28:59
the
28:59
test
29:00
screening.
29:00
Some
29:01
say
29:01
it
29:01
was
29:01
Jessica
29:02
Walter
29:02
and
29:02
others
29:03
say
29:03
it
29:03
was
29:03
John
29:04
Franklin.
29:04
But
29:05
nevertheless,
29:05
Brad
29:06
Dourif
29:06
was
29:06
now
29:07
cast
29:07
to
29:07
voice
29:08
the
29:08
doll
29:08
and
29:09
a
29:09
horror
29:09
icon
29:10
was
29:10
born.
29:12
Other
29:12
deleted
29:13
scenes
29:13
included
29:13
Chucky
29:14
trying
29:14
to
29:14
break
29:15
into
29:15
Andys
29:15
room
29:15
at
29:16
the
29:16
mental
29:16

29:17
and
29:17
fooling
29:18
a

young
29:19

29:24
healing
29:25
an

infant
29:25
through
29:26
a
29:26
voodoo
29:26
ritual,
29:27
Andy
29:28
showing
29:28
Chippy
29:28
around
29:29
his
29:29
room
29:29
and
29:29
discovering
29:30
a
29:30
photograph
29:31
of
29:31
Andys
29:31
deceased
29:32

out

its

Norris
29:38
on
29:38
an

undercover
29:39
sting
29:39
operation.
29:40
The
29:41
script
29:41
also
29:42
included
29:42
an
29:42
alternative
29:43
ending
29:43
in
29:44
which
29:44
Mike
29:44
and
29:44
Karen
29:45
shoot
29:45
Chucky
29:45
repeatedly,
29:46
light
29:47
him
29:47
on
29:47
fire
29:47
and
29:48
stab
29:48
him
29:48
with
29:48
a
29:48
knife
29:49
Andy
29:49
has
29:49
mounted
29:50
on
29:50
a
29:50
radio
29:51
controlled
29:51
car.
29:52
Its
29:52
the
29:52
same
29:53
car
29:53
that
29:53
we
29:53
see
29:53
Andy
29:54
pick
29:54
up
29:54
towards
29:55
the
29:55
end
29:55
of
29:55
the
29:55
movie.
29:56
Chucky
29:57
also
29:57
has
29:57
his
29:57
face
29:58
and
29:58
legs
29:58
melted
29:59
with
29:59
a
29:59
Drano
30:00
filled
30:00
squirt
30:00
gun.
30:01
Chucky
30:02
would
30:02
have
30:02
appeared
30:02
to
30:02
be
30:03
dead
30:03
after
30:03
being
30:04
subdued
30:04
by
30:04
Jack
30:05
Santos
30:05
and
30:06
multiple
30:06
police
30:06
officers.
30:08
Another
30:08
police
30:08
officer
30:09
would
30:09
disregard
30:10
Jacks
30:10
claim
30:11
that
30:11
the
30:11
doll
30:11
was
30:12
alive
30:12
while
30:13
storing
30:13
Chucky's
30:14
remains
30:14
in
30:14
an
30:14
evidence
30:15
room
30:15
where
30:16
Chucky's
30:16
disembodied
30:17
arm
30:17
would
30:18
come
30:18
to
30:18
life
30:18
to
30:19
swat
30:19
a
30:19
fly,
30:20
leaving
30:20
his
30:21
ultimate
30:21
demise
30:22
ambiguous.
30:23
With
30:24
all
30:24
of
30:24
these
30:24
changes
30:25
made
30:25
and
30:26
cuts
30:26
made
30:26
to
30:26
the
30:26
movie,
30:27
this
30:28
new,
30:28
streamlined
30:29
child's
30:29
play
30:29
was
30:30
screened
30:30
to
30:30
test
30:30
audiences
30:31
and
30:31
played
30:32
much
30:32
better.
30:33
And
30:33
this
30:34
is
30:34
important
30:34
because
30:34
in
30:35
March
30:35
1986,
30:36
Kirk
30:37
Kirkorian,
30:38
the
30:38
owner
30:38
of
30:38
MGN,
30:39
sold
30:39
MGN
30:40
to
30:40
Ted
30:40
Turner.
30:41
And
30:41
after
30:42
the
30:42
purchase
30:42
was
30:42
made,
30:43
Turner
30:43
then
30:44
sold
30:44
United
30:45
Artists
30:45
subsidiary
30:46
back
30:46
to
30:46
Kirkorian.
30:48
Kirkorian
30:48
would
30:49
then
30:49
terminate
30:49
the
30:49
production
30:50
agreement
30:50
between
30:51
MGM
30:51
United
30:52
Artists
30:52
with
30:53
David
30:53
Kirchner
30:54
that
30:54
he
30:55
agreed
30:55
United
30:55
Artists
30:56
would
30:56
release
30:57
Childs
30:57
play,
30:58
but
30:59
only
30:59
after
30:59
the
30:59
recut
31:00
received
31:00
posited
31:01
test
31:02
greenings.
31:03
But
31:03
let's
31:04
Segway
31:04
again
31:05
into
31:05
something
31:05
completely
31:06
different,
31:06
in
31:06
a
31:07
non
31:07
Segway
31:07
way,
31:08
in
31:08
a
31:09
non
31:09
segue
31:09
way.
31:10
What
31:10
is
31:10
that
31:11
anyway?
31:12
I
31:12
don't
31:12
know
31:12
what
31:13
I'm
31:13
saying
31:13
Segway
31:14
into
31:14
the
31:14
obligatory
31:15
Keanu
31:15
reference
31:16
of
31:16
this
31:16
episode.
31:17
And
31:17
if
31:17
you
31:17
don't
31:17
know
31:18
what
31:18
that
31:18
is,
31:18
it's
31:19
where
31:19
I
31:19
try
31:19
and
31:19
link
31:19
the
31:19
movie
31:20
that
31:20
I'm
31:20
featuring
31:20
with
31:20
Keanu
31:21
Reeves
31:21
for
31:21
no
31:21
reason
31:22
other
31:22
than
31:22
he
31:22
is
31:22
the
31:23
best
31:23
of
31:23
men.
31:24
And
31:24
this
31:24
is
31:24
actually
31:25
a
31:25
really
31:25
easy
31:26
one,
31:26
because
31:27
Keanu
31:27
Reeves
31:28
also
31:29
worked
31:29
with
31:29
special
31:30
effects
31:30
technician
31:30
Kevin
31:31
Yeager
31:32
on
31:32
the
31:32
Binh
31:33
Tab
31:33
movies,
31:33
including
31:34
Face
31:34
the
31:35
Music,
31:35
which
31:35
was
31:35
the
31:36
last
31:36
episode
31:37
of
31:37
this
31:37
podcast.
31:38
As
31:38
I
31:39
literally,
31:40
as
31:40
soon
31:40
as
31:41
I
31:41
saw
31:41
that
31:41
Kevin
31:41
Yeager
31:42
had
31:42
worked
31:42
on
31:42
this
31:43
movie
31:43
and
31:44
he'd
31:44
also
31:44
worked
31:45
on
31:45
the
31:45
Ben
31:45
and
31:45
Ted
31:45
movies.
31:46
Really
31:47
easy
31:47
to
31:47
link
31:47
Keanu
31:48
Reeves
31:48
to
31:48
child's
31:49
play.
31:50
Joe
31:50
Manzetti,
31:51
the
31:51
Academy
31:52
Award
31:52
winning
31:53
composer,
31:53
was
31:54
hired
31:54
to
31:54
compose
31:55
the
31:55
score
31:56
of
31:56
child's
31:57
play
31:57
and
31:57
he
31:57
used
31:58
a
31:58
variety
31:58
of
31:59
orchestral
31:59
and
31:59
electronic
32:00
elements
32:01
in
32:01
his
32:01
score
32:02
and
32:02
he
32:02
insisted
32:03
on
32:03
an
32:03
electronic
32:04
soundtrack,
32:04
even
32:05
though
32:05
United
32:05
Artists
32:06
and
32:06
Tom
32:06
Holland
32:07
intended
32:08
the
32:08
movie
32:08
to
32:08
have
32:08
a
32:09
full
32:09
orchestrated
32:10
score.
32:11
The
32:11
score
32:11
was
32:12
written
32:12
by
32:12
Renzetti
32:13
in
32:13
just
32:14
three
32:14
weeks,
32:15
and
32:16
Child's
32:16
play
32:16
would
32:16
be
32:16
released
32:17
on
32:17
the
32:17
11
32:18
November
32:18
1988
32:19
in
32:19
the
32:19
US,
32:20
where
32:20
it
32:21
would
32:21
hit
32:21
number
32:21
one
32:22
in
32:22
the
32:22
box
32:22
office
32:23
in
32:23
its
32:23
first
32:23
week,
32:24
beating
32:24
out
32:25
Ernest
32:25
said
32:25
Christmas
32:26
and
32:26
Iron
32:27
Eagle
32:27
two.
32:28
It
32:28
would
32:28
drop
32:29
to
32:29
number
32:29
two
32:29
the
32:29
following
32:30
week
32:30
after
32:30
the
32:30
release
32:31
of
32:31
a
32:31
movie
32:32
that
32:32
I
32:32
think
32:32
has
32:32
about
32:33
15
32:33
sequels.
32:34
The
32:34
land
32:34
before
32:35
time
32:36
on
32:36
its
32:37
reported
32:37
nine
32:38
to
32:38
$13
32:39
million
32:39
budget,
32:40
Childs
32:41
Play
32:41
would
32:41
gross
32:41
$33.2
32:43
million
32:43
domestically
32:44
in
32:44
the
32:44
US
32:45
and
32:45
$11
32:46
million
32:46
internationally,
32:48
for
32:48
a
32:48
total
32:48
worldwide
32:49
gross
32:49
of
32:49
$44.2
32:51
million.
32:52
It
32:52
would
32:53
become
32:53
United
32:53
Artists
32:54
second
32:55
highest
32:55
grossing
32:56
movie
32:56
of
32:56
1988,
32:58
after
32:58
Rain
32:59
man.
33:00
And
33:00
Childs
33:01
Play
33:01
won
33:01
praise
33:01
from
33:02
critics
33:02
and
33:03
most
33:03
critics
33:04
tend
33:04
to
33:04
write
33:04
off
33:04
the
33:05
horror
33:05
genre,
33:06
but
33:06
they
33:06
liked
33:07
Childs
33:07
play
33:08
because
33:08
of
33:08
its
33:08
unique
33:09
villain,
33:10
puppetry,
33:10
succinct
33:11
narrative
33:12
and
33:12
its
33:12
scenes
33:13
of
33:13
gore,
33:14
it
33:14
currently
33:14
sits
33:15
at
33:15
74%
33:16
on
33:16
Rotten
33:16
Tomatoes,
33:17
with
33:17
a
33:18
summary
33:18
of
33:19
child's
33:19
play
33:20
occasionally
33:20
stumbles
33:21
across
33:21
its
33:21
tonal
33:22
tightrope
33:22
of
33:23
comedy
33:23
and
33:23
horror,
33:24
but
33:24
it's
33:24
genuinely
33:25
creepy.
33:25
Monster
33:26
and
33:26
some
33:26
deft
33:27
direction
33:27
by
33:27
Tom
33:27
Holland
33:28
makes
33:29
this
33:29
chinner
33:29
stand
33:30
out
33:30
on
33:30
the
33:30
shelf.
33:31
And
33:32
so
33:32
naturally,
33:32
of
33:33
course,
33:33
United
33:33
Artists
33:34
had
33:35
the
33:35
second
33:35
best
33:35
return
33:36
of
33:36
the
33:36
year
33:36
with
33:37
child's
33:37
play,
33:38
so
33:38
you
33:38
would
33:39
think
33:39
they
33:40
would
33:40
start
33:40
with
33:40
a
33:40
sequel
33:41
immediately.
33:42
But
33:42
eventually
33:44
they
33:44
declined
33:45
to
33:45
be
33:45
involved
33:46
in
33:46
the
33:46
sequel.
33:47
And
33:47
this
33:48
was
33:48
despite
33:48
the
33:48
fact
33:49
they
33:49
did
33:49
get
33:49
to
33:49
work
33:50
straight
33:50
away
33:50
on
33:51
a
33:51
sequel.
33:51
And
33:52
by
33:52
Christmas
33:52
1988,
33:54
Don
33:54
Mancini
33:55
was
33:55
deep
33:55
into
33:56
the
33:56
script
33:56
writing
33:57
process.
33:58
The
33:58
movie
33:58
was
33:59
going
33:59
to
33:59
be
33:59
directed
34:00
by
34:00
John
34:00
Lafayer,
34:01
who
34:01
obviously
34:01
worked
34:02
on
34:02
the
34:02
screenplay
34:03
for
34:03
the
34:03
original
34:03
movie,
34:04
and
34:04
production
34:05
of
34:05
the
34:06
movie
34:06
was
34:06
due
34:06
to
34:06
begin
34:07
in
34:07
the
34:07
summer
34:07
of
34:08
1989.
34:09
And
34:09
then
34:10
Kiptech's
34:11
group,
34:12
who
34:12
was
34:12
known
34:12
for
34:13
their
34:13
family
34:13
friendly
34:14
entertainment,
34:15
acquired
34:16
United
34:16
Artists
34:17
and
34:17
wanted
34:18
the
34:18
studio
34:18
to
34:18
focus
34:19
on
34:19
family
34:20
friendly
34:20
movies
34:21
like
34:22
Disney's
34:22
family
34:23
friendly
34:23
movies.
34:24
And
34:24
so
34:25
United
34:25
Artists
34:26
relinquished
34:27
control
34:27
of
34:27
the
34:27
franchise
34:28
to
34:28
David
34:28
Kirschner.
34:29
And
34:30
after
34:30
a
34:30
brief
34:31
bidding
34:31
war
34:31
between
34:32
studios
34:32
like
34:33
Paramount,
34:33
Warner
34:34
Brothers,
34:34
Columbia,
34:35
20th
34:36
Century
34:36
Fox,
34:37
the
34:37
Price
34:37
company,
34:38
Carol
34:38
Co.
34:39
Universal
34:40
and
34:40
even
34:40
Disney
34:41
for
34:41
the
34:41
sequel,
34:42
a
34:43
deal
34:43
was
34:43
made
34:44
with
34:44
Universal
34:45
for
34:45
Childs
34:45
play
34:45
two,
34:46
thanks
34:46
to
34:47
Kirchners
34:47
close
34:48
ties
34:48
with
34:48
Steven
34:48
Spielberg.
34:50
30
34:50
years
34:50
later,
34:51
Spielberg
34:52
would
34:52
finally
34:52
get
34:53
to
34:53
work
34:53
with
34:53
Chucky
34:54
in
34:54
ready
34:55
player
34:55
one.
34:56
Childs
34:57
play
34:57
has
34:57
since
34:57
spawned
34:58
six
34:58
sequels,
34:59
a
34:59
television
35:00
series,
35:01
a
35:01
remake,
35:02
comic
35:02
books,
35:03
a
35:03
video
35:03
game
35:04
and
35:04
tie
35:05
in
35:05
merchandise.
35:06
The
35:06
first,
35:07
second
35:07
and
35:07
fourth
35:08
films
35:08
were
35:08
all
35:08
box
35:09
office
35:09
successes,
35:10
with
35:10
them
35:11
earning
35:11
over
35:11
$182
35:12
million
35:13
worldwide,
35:14
including
35:15
revenues
35:15
from
35:15
the
35:16
sales
35:16
of
35:16
all
35:17
of
35:17
the
35:17
videos,
35:18
dvd's,
35:19
Vod,
35:20
Blu
35:20
rays
35:20
and
35:21
merchandise,
35:22
the
35:22
franchise
35:22
has
35:23
generated
35:23
over
35:24
$250
35:25
million.
35:27
But
35:28
there
35:28
is
35:28
a
35:28
lot
35:28
of
35:29
confusion
35:29
when
35:29
it
35:30
comes
35:30
to
35:30
child's
35:31
play
35:31
and
35:32
Chucky.
35:33
And
35:33
why
35:34
are
35:34
there
35:34
a
35:34
couple
35:35
of
35:35
offshoots
35:35
of
35:36
child's
35:36
play
35:36
and
35:37
Chucky?
35:37
And
35:38
who
35:38
owns
35:38
the
35:39
rights
35:39
to
35:39
Chucky?
35:39
And
35:40
who
35:40
owns
35:40
the
35:40
rights
35:41
to
35:41
Child's
35:41
play?
35:42
Well,
35:43
let's
35:43
talk
35:43
about
35:43
it,
35:44
because
35:45
MGM
35:46
released
35:46
the
35:46
original
35:47
child's
35:47
play
35:48
movie
35:48
in
35:48
1988,
35:49
the
35:50
one
35:50
that
35:50
we're
35:50
talking
35:50
about,
35:51
produced
35:51
by
35:51
David
35:52
Kirchner
35:52
and

The

show
36:41
was
36:42
developed
36:42

and
36:43

36:44

36:47
this
36:47
podcast
36:48
has
36:48
very
36:48
recently
36:49
been
36:49
announced
36:49
as
36:50
being
36:50
cancelled
36:51
after
36:51
its
36:51
third
36:52
season.
36:53
In
36:53
March
36:53
2024,
36:54
Don
36:54
Mancini
36:55
announced
36:55
that
36:56
hes
36:56
in
36:56
the
36:56
early
36:56
stages
36:57
of
36:57
development
36:58
on
36:58
a
36:58
new
36:59
movie
36:59
starring
37:00
Chucky
37:00
that
37:01
would
37:01
work
37:01
in
37:01
tandem
37:01
with
37:02
the
37:02
series.
37:03
And
37:03
in
37:03
September
37:03
2024,
37:05
Mancini
37:05
stated
37:06
that
37:06
the
37:06
Chucky
37:07
franchise
37:07
would
37:07
continue
37:08
following
37:09
the
37:09
cancellation
37:10
of
37:10
the
37:10
tv
37:10
series.
37:11
And
37:12
so
37:12
the
37:12
recent
37:13
2019
37:14
Childs
37:14
play
37:15
remake
37:15
was
37:16
produced
37:16
without
37:17
the
37:17
involvement
37:18
of
37:18
Mancini
37:18
or
37:19
Kirchner
37:20
because
37:20
MGM
37:21
made
37:21
that
37:21
movie
37:22
and
37:22
MGM
37:23
owns
37:23
the
37:23
rights
37:23
to
37:23
the
37:24
1988
37:25
original
37:25
and
37:26
can
37:26
therefore
37:27
remake
37:27
that
37:28
1988
37:28
original
37:29
if
37:29
they
37:29
wish.
37:31
That
37:31
movie
37:32
starred
37:32
Aubrey
37:33
Plaza
37:33
as
37:33
Karen
37:34
Barkley
37:34
with
37:35
Mark
37:35
Hamill
37:36
as
37:36
the
37:36
voice
37:36
of
37:37
Chucky
37:37
and
37:38
to
37:38
be
37:38
honest,
37:38
I'd
37:38
heard
37:39
it's
37:39
actually
37:39
well
37:40
worth
37:40
the
37:40
watch.
37:41
It
37:41
obviously
37:41
updates
37:42
Chucky
37:42
to
37:43
a
37:43
modern
37:43
age
37:44
and
37:44
if
37:44
you
37:45
think
37:45
about
37:45
toys
37:45
nowadays,
37:46
toys
37:46
nowadays
37:47
can
37:47
do
37:47
anything
37:48
apart
37:49
from
37:49
maybe
37:50
go
37:50
on
37:50
murderous
37:51
rampages.
37:51
But
37:52
you
37:52
never
37:52
know
37:52
what
37:53
will
37:53
happen
37:53
in
37:53
the
37:53
near
37:54
future
37:54
when
37:54
it
37:55
comes
37:55
to
37:55
toys
37:55
and
37:56
AI.
37:57
So
37:57
when
37:57
I
37:58
sat
37:58
down
37:58
to
37:58
watch
37:59
Childs
37:59
play
38:00
the
38:00
original
38:00
1988
38:01
movie
38:01
for
38:02
this
38:02
episode,
38:03
I
38:03
realised
38:04
that
38:04
id
38:04
actually
38:04
not
38:05
seen
38:05
the
38:05
movie
38:06
in
38:06
probably
38:06
about
38:07
20
38:07
years.
38:08
So
38:08
I
38:08
really
38:09
wasnt
38:09
sure
38:09
what
38:10
to
38:10
expect.
38:11
I
38:11
knew
38:12
the
38:12
puppet
38:12
work
38:13
would
38:13
be
38:13
great
38:14
because
38:14
eighties
38:14
puppet
38:15
work
38:15
is
38:15
always
38:16
great,
38:17
but
38:17
I
38:18
think
38:18
I
38:18
didn't
38:18
expect
38:19
the
38:19
movie
38:19
itself
38:20
to
38:20
be
38:20
so
38:20
suspenseful
38:21
and
38:22
violent
38:22
and
38:23
unrelenting.
38:24
This
38:24
movie
38:24
obviously
38:25
had
38:25
about
38:25
30
38:26
minutes
38:26
trimmed
38:27
off
38:27
Tom
38:27
Holland's
38:28
original
38:28
two
38:28
hour
38:29
cut
38:29
and
38:30
that
38:30
definitely
38:31
did
38:31
this
38:31
movie.
38:31
The
38:32
world
38:32
of
38:32
good
38:33
showing
38:33
Chucky's
38:34
movements,
38:34
limited
38:35
at
38:35
first,
38:35
builds
38:36
up
38:36
the
38:36
tension
38:37
showing
38:37
his
38:38
point
38:38
of
38:38
view.
38:39
Its
38:39
all
38:39
really
38:40
good
38:40
stuff
38:40
that
38:40
shows
38:41
that
38:41
despite
38:41
Tom
38:42
Hollands
38:42
ways,
38:43
he
38:43
really
38:44
did
38:44
know
38:44
what
38:45
he
38:45
was
38:45
doing
38:46
with
38:46
Chucky.
38:47
Weird
38:47
voodoo
38:47
subplot
38:48
aside,
38:49
and
38:49
that
38:49
scene
38:50
when
38:50
Karen
38:50
Barkley
38:51
picks
38:51
up
38:51
the
38:51
box,
38:52
hears
38:52
something
38:52
drop
38:53
and
38:53
realizes
38:54
its
38:54
the
38:54
sealed
38:55
batteries
38:56
slowly
38:56
moving
38:57
over
38:57
to
38:57
Chucky,
38:57
picking
38:58
him
38:58
up,
38:58
inspecting
38:59
the
38:59
battery
39:00
compartment
39:00
and
39:01
realizing
39:01
its
39:02
empty
39:02
only
39:02
for
39:02
Chucky
39:03
to
39:03
violently
39:03
spin
39:04
his
39:04
head
39:04
round.
39:05
Catherine
39:05
Hicks
39:06
is
39:06
phenomenal
39:07
in
39:07
this
39:07
scene.
39:08
She
39:08
totally
39:08
sells
39:09
the
39:09
idea
39:09
that
39:09
this
39:10
doll
39:10
is
39:10
attacking
39:11
her.
39:11
The
39:11
terrifying
39:12
realization
39:13
that
39:13
her
39:13
son
39:13
has
39:14
been
39:14
telling
39:14
the
39:14
truth
39:15
the
39:15
whole
39:16
time
39:16
about
39:16
this
39:16
doll.
39:17
I
39:18
absolutely
39:18
love
39:18
that
39:18
scene.
39:19
I
39:19
genuinely
39:19
think
39:20
it
39:20
is
39:20
one
39:20
of
39:20
the
39:21
best
39:21
scenes
39:22
that
39:22
I'd
39:23
ever
39:23
seen
39:23
in
39:23
a
39:23
horror
39:24
movie
39:24
ever.
39:25
And
39:25
because
39:26
verbal
39:26
diorana
39:27
and
39:27
by
39:27
that
39:27
I
39:28
mean
39:28
myself,
39:28
loves
39:29
practical
39:29
special
39:30
effects.
39:30
And
39:30
puppets
39:31
and
39:31
animatronics.
39:32
I
39:32
knew
39:32
Chucky
39:33
would
39:33
be
39:33
great.
39:34
But
39:34
I
39:34
don't
39:35
think
39:35
I
39:35
expected
39:36
him
39:36
to
39:36
be
39:36
so
39:37
great.
39:37
Because
39:38
as
39:38
I
39:38
say,
39:38
I've
39:38
not
39:39
seen
39:39
this
39:39
movie
39:39
in
39:39
a
39:40
long
39:40
time.
39:40
I
39:41
forgot
39:42
how
39:42
good
39:42
the
39:43
animatronic
39:43
version
39:44
of
39:44
Chucky
39:45
is.
39:45
And
39:46
of
39:46
course
39:46
you
39:46
can
39:47
tell
39:47
the
39:47
difference
39:48
between
39:48
when
39:49
it
39:49
is
39:49
Ed
39:49
Gale
39:50
and
39:50
when
39:50
it
39:50
is
39:50
an
39:50
animatronic
39:51
puppet.
39:52
But
39:52
I
39:52
don't
39:53
care
39:53
because
39:54
I'm
39:54
fully
39:54
invested
39:55
in
39:55
this
39:55
character
39:55
of
39:55
Chucky.
39:56
And
39:57
it's
39:57
one
39:57
of
39:57
those
39:57
incredible
39:58
stories.
39:59
The
39:59
fact
39:59
that
39:59
three
40:00
decades
40:00
after
40:00
Don
40:01
Mancini's
40:02
seed
40:02
of
40:02
an
40:02
idea
40:03
was
40:03
planted.
40:04
It
40:04
blossomed
40:05
into
40:05
this
40:06
fully
40:06
operational
40:07
franchise.
40:08
And
40:08
Chucky
40:09
is
40:10
one
40:10
of
40:10
horrors
40:10
most
40:11
recognizable,
40:12
if
40:13
not
40:13
always
40:13
utilized
40:14
to
40:14
his
40:14
full
40:15
potential
40:16
characters.
40:17
And
40:18
obviously
40:18
Tom
40:18
Holland
40:19
does
40:19
deserve
40:20
praise
40:20
for
40:20
creating
40:21
this
40:21
film
40:21
that
40:22
stands
40:22
the
40:22
test
40:23
of
40:23
time.
40:23
By
40:23
using
40:24
sympathy
40:25
for
40:25
its
40:26
main
40:26
characters
40:26
and
40:27
special
40:28
effects.
40:28
Ranging
40:29
from
40:29
realistic
40:30
suits
40:30
to
40:30
animatronics
40:31
and
40:31
remote
40:32
controlled
40:32
puppetry.
40:33
With
40:33
these
40:33
extremely
40:34
violent
40:34
and
40:35
interesting,
40:36
varied
40:36
depths.
40:37
But
40:38
David
40:38
Kirchner's
40:39
decision
40:39
to
40:39
remove
40:40
Holland
40:40
and
40:41
recut
40:41
the
40:41
movie
40:42
after
40:42
those
40:42
disastrous
40:43
test
40:43
screenings
40:44
is
40:44
the
40:45
savior
40:45
of
40:45
this
40:46
movie.
40:46
Trimming
40:47
the
40:47
fat
40:48
kept
40:48
this
40:48
movie
40:48
lean
40:49
at
40:49
87
40:50
minutes
40:51
and
40:51
it
40:51
just
40:52
keeps
40:52
giving
40:52
us
40:52
what
40:53
we
40:53
want.
40:54
But
40:54
child's
40:55
play
40:55
is
40:56
mostly
40:56
known
40:56
for
40:57
its
40:57
controversies
40:58
than
40:58
its
40:58
enjoyable
40:59
plot.
40:59
With
41:00
large
41:00
crowds
41:00
of
41:01
protesters
41:01
infronted
41:02
MGM
41:02
when
41:02
it
41:02
was
41:03
released,
41:03
claiming
41:04
it
41:04
incited
41:05
violence
41:05
in
41:05
children
41:06
as
41:06
well
41:07
as
41:07
made
41:07
children
41:08
afraid
41:08
of
41:08
their
41:08
dolls
41:09
coming
41:09
to
41:09
life
41:09
and
41:10
trying
41:10
to
41:10
kill
41:10
them.
41:11
When
41:11
the
41:12
movie
41:12
was
41:12
released
41:12
on
41:12
vhs,
41:13
a
41:13
32nd
41:14
ad
41:14
for
41:14
the
41:15
release
41:15
was
41:15
pulled
41:15
from
41:16
primetime
41:16
because
41:17
Chucky
41:17
was
41:18
too
41:18
threatening
41:19
and
41:19
aggressive.
41:20
It
41:20
then
41:20
only
41:21
aired
41:21
in
41:21
late
41:21
night
41:22
slots.
41:23
And
41:23
while
41:23
not
41:23
directed
41:24
at
41:24
this
41:24
movie,
41:25
specifically
41:26
the
41:26
whole
41:27
franchise,
41:27
and
41:27
especially
41:28
Child's
41:29
play
41:29
three,
41:30
would
41:30
become
41:30
the
41:30
top
41:31
story
41:31
on
41:31
the
41:31
news.
41:32
When
41:32
in
41:32
February
41:33
1993,
41:34
two
41:35
year
41:35
old
41:35
James
41:35
Bulger
41:36
was
41:36
abducted,
41:37
tortured
41:37
and
41:38
murdered
41:38
by
41:39
210
41:39
year
41:39
old
41:40
boys
41:40
in
41:40
Merseyside
41:41
here
41:41
in
41:41
the
41:41
UK.
41:42
Now
41:42
I'm
41:43
not
41:43
going
41:43
to
41:43
go
41:43
into
41:43
the
41:44
details
41:44
because
41:45
it
41:45
was
41:45
a
41:46
truly
41:46
horrific
41:46
murder
41:47
that
41:47
shocked
41:47
the
41:48
entire
41:48
nation.
41:49
But
41:49
Child's
41:50
play
41:50
three
41:50
was
41:50
blamed
41:51
due
41:51
to
41:51
the
41:51
210
41:52
year
41:52
olds
41:53
allegedly
41:53
recreating
41:54
a
41:54
scene
41:55
from
41:55
that
41:55
movie.
41:56
The
41:56
link
41:56
to
41:57
Child's
41:57
play
41:57
three
41:58
was
41:58
that
41:58
the
41:58
father
41:58
of
41:59
one
41:59
of
41:59
the
41:59
boys
41:59
had
42:00
rented
42:00
the
42:00
video.
42:01
Some
42:01
months
42:01
earlier.
42:02
However,
42:02
the
42:03
police
42:03
officer
42:03
who
42:04
directed
42:04
the
42:04
investigation
42:05
found
42:06
that
42:06
the
42:06
boy
42:06
was
42:06
not
42:07
living
42:07
with
42:07
his
42:07
father
42:08
at
42:08
the
42:08
time
42:09
and
42:09
was
42:09
unlikely
42:10
to
42:10
have
42:10
seen
42:10
the
42:10
film.
42:11
It
42:12
still
42:12
led
42:12
to
42:12
an
42:12
outcry
42:13
over
42:13
video
42:13
nasties,
42:14
but
42:15
at
42:15
the
42:15
time
42:15
the
42:15
association
42:16
of
42:16
Video
42:16
Retailers
42:17
recommended
42:18
but
42:18
did
42:19
not
42:19
enforce
42:20
the
42:20
whole
42:20
child's
42:21
play
42:21
franchise
42:22
to
42:22
be
42:22
removed
42:23
from
42:23
video
42:23
store
42:24
shelves.
42:25
Child's
42:25
play
42:25
three
42:26
was
42:26
the
42:26
easy
42:26
scapegoat
42:27
to
42:27
blame
42:28
for
42:28
the
42:28
actions
42:28
of
42:29
children.
42:29
The
42:30
Video
42:30
Recordings
42:31
Act
42:31
1984
42:32
was
42:32
amended
42:32
with
42:32
a
42:32
new
42:33
legal
42:33
requirement
42:34
for
42:34
the
42:34
BBFC
42:35
to,
42:35
quote,
42:36
have
42:36
special
42:36
regard
42:37
among
42:37
the
42:37
other
42:38
relevant
42:38
factors
42:39
to
42:39
any
42:39
harm
42:40
that
42:40
might
42:40
be
42:40
caused
42:40
to
42:41
potential
42:41
viewers
42:42
or
42:42
through
42:42
their
42:43
behavior
42:43
to
42:43
society,
42:44
by
42:45
the
42:45
manner
42:45
in
42:45
which
42:45
the
42:46
work
42:46
deals
42:46
with
42:47
criminal
42:47
behaviour,
42:48
illegal
42:49
drugs,
42:49
violent
42:50
behaviour
42:50
or
42:51
incidents,
42:51
horrific
42:52
behaviour
42:53
or
42:53
human
42:54
sexual
42:54
activity.
42:56
For
42:57
failing
42:57
to
42:57
apply
42:57
the
42:58
criteria
42:58
with
42:58
a
42:58
sufficient
42:59
regard
42:59
for
42:59
the
43:00
factors
43:00
listed,
43:01
the
43:01
BBSC
43:02
could
43:02
now
43:02
be
43:02
taken
43:03
to
43:03
court
43:03
and
43:03
held
43:04
accountable.
43:05
The
43:05
mention
43:06
of
43:06
other
43:06
relative
43:06
factors
43:07
gave
43:07
the
43:07
BBSC
43:08
the
43:08
ability
43:08
to
43:09
also
43:09
consider
43:10
other
43:10
criteria
43:11
not
43:11
listed,
43:12
such
43:12
as
43:13
bad
43:13
taste,
43:14
offensiveness
43:14
or
43:15
bad
43:15
language.
43:16
Its
43:17
rare
43:17
for
43:17
one
43:17
creator
43:18
to
43:18
have
43:18
the
43:19
kind
43:19
of
43:19
continued
43:20
and
43:20
crucial
43:21
input
43:21
on
43:21
a
43:22
long
43:22
running
43:22
horror
43:23
franchise
43:23
of
43:24
the
43:24
type
43:24
that
43:24
Don
43:24
Mancini
43:25
can
43:25
claim,
43:26
as
43:26
well
43:26
as
43:26
the
43:27
one
43:27
horror
43:27
franchise
43:28
to
43:28
have
43:28
one
43:29
continuous
43:29
story.
43:30
Despite
43:31
some
43:31
comedy
43:31
leanings.
43:33
Marzzini
43:34
is
43:34
also
43:34
loyal
43:35
to
43:35
his
43:35
actors,
43:36
repeatedly
43:36
casting
43:37
not
43:37
just
43:37
Brad
43:38
Dourif
43:38
and
43:39
Jennifer
43:39
Timmy,
43:40
but
43:40
also
43:40
Alex
43:41
Vincent
43:41
and
43:41
also
43:42
doriffs
43:42
daughter
43:42
Fiona,
43:43
who
43:44
played
43:44
the
43:44
lead
43:44
role
43:45
of
43:45
Nica
43:45
Pierce
43:46
in

of

Chucky
43:47
and
43:47
Cult
43:48
of
43:48
Chukki.
43:49
The
43:49
childs
43:50
play
43:50
series
43:50
has
43:51
also
43:51
explored
43:51
themes
43:52
of
43:52
gender
43:52
and
43:53
sexuality,
43:54
with
43:54
Mancini,
43:55
an
43:55
openly
43:55
gay
43:56
man,
43:56
using
43:57
it
43:57
to
43:57
talk
43:57
about
43:57
sexual
43:58
identity
43:59
and
43:59
introducing
44:00
non
44:00
binary
44:01
characters,
44:01
Glenn
44:02
and
44:02
Glenda
44:02
in
44:03
Cedar
44:03
Chucky.
44:04
While
44:04
he
44:05
openly
44:05
admitted
44:05
to
44:05
not
44:06
wanting
44:06
to
44:06
be
44:06
involved
44:07
in
44:07
Childs
44:07
play
44:07
2019,
44:09
the
44:09
director
44:09
of
44:10
that
44:10
movie,
44:10
Lars
44:11
Kloepberg,
44:12
is
44:12
a
44:12
huge
44:13
fan
44:13
of
44:13
Mancini
44:14
and
44:14
his
44:14
previous
44:15
work.
44:16
Childs
44:17
play
44:17
has
44:17
aged
44:18
like
44:18
a
44:18
fine
44:19
wine
44:19
thanks
44:19
to
44:20
three
44:20
main
44:20
things,
44:21
not
44:21
even
44:21
including
44:22
the
44:22
idea
44:22
itself,
44:23
which
44:23
is
44:23
brilliant
44:24
and
44:24
still
44:24
to
44:25
this
44:25
day
44:25
incredibly
44:26
striking.
44:27
But
44:27
those
44:27
ideas
44:28
are
44:28
the
44:28
design
44:29
and
44:29
operation
44:29
of
44:30
the
44:30
doll
44:30
and
44:30
the
44:30
terrific
44:31
visual
44:31
effects
44:32
that
44:32
went
44:32
along
44:32
with
44:33
it,
44:33
that
44:34
main
44:34
battery
44:35
scene
44:35
with
44:35
Chucky
44:35
and
44:36
Karen,
44:37
and
44:37
just
44:37
the
44:38
extremely
44:38
graphic
44:39
and
44:39
imaginative
44:40
death
44:40
sequences.
44:41
It's
44:42
a
44:42
franchise
44:42
that
44:42
has
44:43
the
44:43
potential
44:43
to
44:44
keep
44:44
going
44:45
so
44:45
long
44:45
as
44:46
Don
44:46
Mancini
44:47
is
44:47
involved.
44:48
And
44:49
so
44:49
basically
44:49
what
44:49
I'm
44:50
saying
44:50
is
44:51
we
44:51
will
44:51
never
44:51
be
44:52
putting
44:52
away
44:52
childish
44:53
things.
44:54
Long
44:54
live
44:54
Chucky.
44:56
Thank
44:56
you
44:56

44:56

44:57

44:57

44:58

45:29
podcast
45:30
and
45:30
about
45:30
this
45:30
episode.
45:32
And
45:32
so
45:32
the
45:32
next
45:32
episode
45:33
of
45:33
this
45:33
podcast,
45:34
I
45:34
actually
45:35
mentioned
45:35
towards
45:36
the
45:36
top
45:36
of
45:36
this
45:36
podcast
45:38
because
45:38
the
45:38
horror
45:38
movies
45:39
that
45:39
I'm
45:39
covering
45:40
in
45:40
this
45:40
month
45:41
are
45:41
going
45:41
to
45:41
be
45:41
going
45:42
back
45:42
in
45:42
time.
45:43
So
45:43
we're
45:43
going
45:43
to
45:43
be
45:43
starting
45:44
in
45:44
1983,
45:47
and
45:47
then
45:47
we're
45:47
going
45:47
to
45:47
be
45:47
going
45:48
back
45:48
a
45:48
few
45:49
years,
45:49
to
45:49
1984
45:51
and
45:52
to
45:52
another
45:52
serial
45:53
killer,
45:54
this
45:54
time
45:54
a
45:55
serial
45:55
killer
45:56
who
45:56
murders
45:56
children.
45:58
This
45:58
particular
45:59
killer
45:59
was
46:00
burned
46:00
alive
46:01
by
46:02
a
46:02
group
46:02
of
46:02
parents,
46:03
but
46:04
as
46:04
a
46:04
group
46:04
of
46:05
teenagers
46:05
discover
46:06
he
46:07
can
46:07
murder
46:07
people
46:08
while
46:08
they
46:08
sleep
46:09
by
46:09
infiltrating
46:10
their
46:11
dreams.
46:12
So
46:12
yes,
46:13
the
46:13
next
46:13
horror
46:14
icon
46:14
will
46:14
be
46:15
Freddy
46:15
Krueger,
46:16
and
46:16
the
46:17
next
46:17
episode
46:17
will
46:18
be
46:18
on
46:18
the
46:18
history
46:19
and
46:19
legacy
46:19
of
46:20
the
46:20
original
46:21
1984,
46:22
a
46:23
nightmare
46:23
on
46:23
Elm
46:24
street.
46:25
Now,
46:25
I
46:25
always
46:26
say
46:26
this
46:26
podcast
46:26
is
46:27
free
46:27
and
46:27
it
46:27
always
46:28
will
46:28
be
46:28
free.
46:29
However,
46:29
this
46:29
podcast
46:30
is
46:30
not
46:30
free
46:30
to
46:31
produce,
46:31
and
46:32
so
46:32
if
46:33
you
46:33
wish
46:33
to
46:33
help
46:34
support
46:34
the
46:34
show
46:35
financially,
46:35
you
46:35
are
46:36
under
46:36
no
46:36
obligation
46:37
to
46:37
do
46:37
so.
46:38
But
46:38
if
46:38
you
46:38

46:38
some
46:39
spare
46:39

46:39

46:40
you
46:40
want
46:40

46:41
throw
46:41
them
46:41
a
46:41
podcast
46:42
way,
46:42
I
46:43
would
46:43
be
46:43
