RELATED: Recap: Father Bryce performs an explosive exorcism in 'Chucky' Season 2, Episode 7Īs Father Bryce (Devon Sawa) and Sister Catherine (Andrea Carter) make preparations for an exorcism that will remove a piece of Charles Lee Ray's soul from "Good Chucky," a shaggy Andy Barclay (Alex Vincent) decides to lock up the killer doll for everyone's safety. The second season of SYFY and USA Network's critically-acclaimed Chucky TV show brought that vibe to the forefront in tonight's seventh episode, "Goin' to the Chapel," which paid homage to a number of genre classics.
In a way, Chucky has become the Deadpool of the horror world. Since 1988, the series has evolved from slasher-based horror to dark comedy with an irreverent and self-aware spin. "I think it’s just being attentive to what is going on in the culture and what is going on in the zeitgeist at any given time, and then using Chucky to get at those issues in an interesting, fun way," he told SYFY WIRE in 2020. Like Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, and Freddy Krueger, Chucky represents the gold standard for silver screen killers made of pure evil.Ĭharles Lee Ray (voiced by the ever-dependable Brad Dourif) continues to remain immortal because Chucky creator Don Mancini is always striving to keep the character relevant for the times.
There's no denying the fact that the Child's Play franchise is one of the most iconic horror properties in the history of the genre.
