Chucky is a fictional horror character. He appears as the central antagonist in the 1988 horror movie Child's Play and its six sequels.

Fictional character biography

Charles Lee Ray with the original Good Guy Doll he would transfer himself into.

Originally, Chucky was a serial killer, named Charles Lee Ray, known in the media as the Lakeshore Strangler. After Ray is shot and killed by the Chicago Police Department, he manages to use voodoo to come back to life, in the form of a doll. However, Chucky learns that the longer he spends in doll form, the more human-like he becomes, and eventually, he could become stuck as a doll forever. The only way to return to human form is to take over the dead body of a young boy. Therefore, for most of the series, Chucky attempts to kill a young boy named Andy, so he can take over his body. 

Despite his small size, Chucky can be very dangerous, due to his determination and insanity. He has killed many people in doll form. Due to the fact that he is a doll, Chucky cannot feel pain, therefore, it is harder to defeat him. However, the longer he stays in the doll's body, he becomes more and more human, rendering him easy to kill.
