Child's Play is an American horror franchise that consists of eight slasher films, a television series, novels, a video game, and numerous comic books. The main antagonist is Chucky. Chucky is the embodiment of Charles Lee Ray, the notorious Lakeshore Strangler whose soul passed onto a Good Guy Doll. Chucky pursues a variation of victims in each installment, usually to possess a new human host but now he finally accepts being in a dolls body and continues killing people everywhere he goes. Recurring characters in the series include Chucky's first target and Child's Play trilogy protagonist Andy Barclay, and Chucky's wife/partner Tiffany Valentine. The 2019 remake starring Aubrey Plaza has similar themes but is not connected to the original franchise. The 2021 television series is a continuation of the original franchise and sees the return of several characters, including Andy Barclay, while also introducing several new characters.
