From Hugo to Chucky and Annabelle – who is the scariest doll of them all?

The Child’s Play franchise, as with all the best slasher series, is all about the villain. The “Good Guy” doll is occupied by the soul of a serial killer, and thanks to his being voiced by the great Brad Dourif (one of the few actors to take on a slasher movie role after they became famous), has more personality than the likes of Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers laid end to end.

Now Chucky can add a documentary to his ever expanding filmography (to date: seven films, explores the series’s history and shows how cast and crew bonded into alternative family units on the long shoots away from home. Gardner’s earliest Chucky-related memory is of her parents dressing her as his soulmate, Tiffany, for Halloween. “I wasn’t allowed to see the movies, but they told me I was going to be Tiffany, because it was the only year I was going to fit into that dress.”
