The Movie: Child’s Play (1988)
What Is It?: Chucky
shoves a kitchen knife through the annoying trends of slasher movies and
absurdly expensive talking dolls with gruesome hilarity (thanks to Mancini,
Lafia, and Holland’s script and the inimitable vocal talents of Mr. Brad
Dourif). He remains my eighties monster hero for that.
Why Today?: Today
is World Doll Day.
