Film 921: Child’s Play

Trivia: The babysitter's death scene originally had her being electrocuted while taking a bath. The scene was used later in Bride of Chucky.

Chucky's full name, Charles Lee Ray, is derived from the names of notorious killers Charles Manson, Lee Harvey Oswald, and James Earl Ray.

Original writer Don Mancini stated in an interview that his original script toyed with the audience a bit longer, making them wonder if young Andy was the killer rather than Chucky. This idea was used by Kevin Tenney in Pinocchio's Revenge.

All of Brad Dourif's voiceover work for Chucky was recorded in advance so they could match up Chucky's mouth with the words. Because of this, Dourif rarely ever appeared on set during the "doll" scenes. Instead, recordings of his voice would be played back for Alex Vincent to go by.

The working title for the film was "Blood Buddy".

John Lithgow was rumored to be considered to play and voice Chucky.

Child's Play was disowned by the studio, MGM/United Artists, because of qualms with the film's subject matter. Universal bought the rights for the sequels.

In an interview, Don Mancini said in the original script, Child's Play was at first a satire on toy marketing and merchandising for children, before the idea morphed into a horror film instead.
