From blood-curdling threats to snarky one-liners, Child's Play's Chucky certainly has a way with words.
There are a lot of faces of slasher movies, but Chucky is one of the most famous characters of the genre. Chucky was first introduced in Tom Holland’s 1988 horror film called Child’s Play. Chucky was created after the fictional serial killer Charles Lee Ray is shot by pursuing police. As he dies, he transfers his soul into a Good Guys doll using forbidden magic.
Child’s Play sparked a franchise which has resulted in a total of eight movies to date, including the recently-released reboot of the same name. With Child’s Play still being a fresh movie to theaters, it's time to take a look back at some of Chucky’s most memorable quotes. Here are some of the notorious villain's creepiest lines in the franchise.
10 “WE’RE FRIENDS ‘TIL THE END!”
With the Good Guys dolls being children's toys, they came with certain catchphrases built-in that would appeal to kids. Several of Chucky’s catchphrases are memorable, but one of the most iconic, present in almost all of the movies, is “we’re friends ‘til the end”.
It's such a chilling quote because, while it can be taken as a heartfelt message to a child, it also takes on a much more sinister meaning. Everybody who has seen the movies knows that the end will probably come sooner rather than later.
9 “OKAY, LADY, YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU'RE NEXT."
While Chucky has always had a sick sense of humor, one of the funnier entries to the series was the 2017 film Cult of Chucky. This film sees Nica in a facility after she was framed for murdering her family members. Nica’s doctor transfers her to a medium-security hospital called Harrogate, where Nica is introduced to several other patients.
One of the first people she meets is Angela, who believes she is dead and that nobody can see her. When Chucky comes to kill Nica, he runs into Angela, who thoroughly annoys him. After some amusing dialogue between the two characters, Chucky says, "Okay, lady, you know what? You're next. I’m gonna be right back.” Yes, it's more of a joke than anything, but it just defines the dark humor and underlying menace of the character.
