Really Awful Movies: Ep 92 – Child’s Play

(http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/chuckychildsplay/images/1/1a/Childs-play-movie-poster1.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100602092131)Mr Holland's opus. Tom Holland, that is. He's the mastermind behind this incredibly creative, understated 80s horror classic. Child's Play is so darn fun. A killer on the lam, by some sort of Voodoo mumbo jumbo, inhabits the body of a popular talking child's toy, subsequently purchased on the black market by a Chicago mom for her young son. From there, "Chucky" starts to wreak havoc. Proof positive that a horror doesn't need to be a 10 on the splatter meter, Child's Play is wonderful tension slow-build. Like a lot of other horror notables, this one spawned a litany of forgettable sequels. But that's OK. This one stands the test of time. Join us as we delve into what makes this killer doll so indelible.
