Theater V: Child's Play 2




It's Been Done Before show

Summary: This week we’re kicking off scary movie month with everyone’s favorite killer doll, Chucky, in 1990’s Child’s Play 2.  In this spooky sequel, Chucky is brought back to life and continues his attempt to put his soul into Andy’s body while killing several people along his journey.  Andy’s mom is in an insane asylum and Andy has moved in with the Simpsons, a foster family that has taken him and a teenage girl named Kyle into their home.  Andy keeps trying to warn everyone about Chucky’s actions and his eventual return, but no one believes him and they all dismiss his stories as make-believe.  Chucky does make his way to the Simpson’s house and wastes little time attempting to get his soul into Andy’s body.  He eventually starts killing everyone in his path and comes to a final showdown with Andy and Kyle.  How long was Chucky’s charred body being held by the toy company before they decided to clean and repair it?  Did the Simpsons just show up at the orphanage to do some window shopping?  What kind of orphanage was Susan’s mother running?  Wouldn’t Andy’s story become more believable as the body count continued to grow?  Why was the warehouse of the toy factory setup like a maze?  Have any other movies had special made-for-TV alternate endings?  This is one of the better horror franchises from the 1980s and if you haven’t seen this sequel yet, now is a s good a time as any to enjoy some wisecracking horror.  Thank you for all of the love you continue to show us.  Please rate and review the podcast wherever you get it and if you like the show, share it with your friends.  Have a great week.
