I love that the trailer barely showed chucky moving and kept it a surprise which is what I love about the creativity of horror in 80s/90s

[michaelchancley]

Could you imagine seeing this trailer, then going to the movies and really questioning if the murderer was the Chucky doll or a deranged six year old (before the internet could deliver spoilers), then seeing the first scene almost halfway through the movie confirming the doll is in fact alive? This was low key genius marketing at the time. I would’ve shat my pants in the theatre.

Without a doubt one of the most iconic killer doll movies ever made considering that it was about a serial killer possessed doll. Add to the fact that it was the first movie in the Child's Play series makes it even more iconic and unforgettable.

The part where he slashed the guy from underneath the bed was terrifying. I always looked under the bed as a kid. Thanks chuck. I hope this franchise never dies. Because Chucky never dies.

They way they made chucky talk and move back in the late 80s when our technology was not able to make those animations as it can today was really cool

[aidanfox]

Back when Chucky was no joke unlike Bride and Seed.

[thecunninlynguist]

classic. Brad Dourif is iconic as his voice

[lisabrown]

The feet pitter patting along without actually seeing Chucky were the creepiest for me.

[Johnlindsey]

Happy 35th anniversary! Saw it in theaters when I was six when I lived in Omaha with my family

[a.rtomboy]

The way The narrator say this was Andy’s make me cry because his childhood was over.

[hostilemgtow]

Wow, even till this day, the chilling affects of this trailer cuts right through 😱.

I was 8 years old when this trailer made the rounds on cable and it gave me nightmares for weeks. Animatronics was kinda primitive back then, but this movie looked totally believable at the time, way more than Puppet Master.

Just watched this with my 8 year old after not having seen it since like 1990. A great night, what a blast!

[JonnyChaos]

1 and 2 were brilliant and scary then it turned into a comedy.

[diogobz]

I think I was not much older than 6 or 7yo when I watched Chucky with my older brother, back in 95/96. He managed to traumatise me for years with this movie hahaha I remember having to ask my mom to check not only under the bed but also the corners of the bedroom because Chucky could easily fit in there. We still laugh about it up to these days

[legokingcandy]

I had an immense fear of dolls as a small child (and even to some degree now). This rocked me to my core when I was little.

[Mathiasx]

The movie has haunted me for decades and I finally found the courage to watch it again today. Hopefully I won't have any nightmares tonight

[alonzozovillafranco]

Happy 35th anniversary to this amazing cult classic! Such a long way our friend to the end has come

[zepole]

The best scene in the entire franchise is when Chucky first comes to life. I can only imagine being in a theatre and seeing that for the first time in a full room hahah.

Chucky the Good Guy Doll, slashing people getting in his way since 1988
