Child's Play (1988)


The film starts out as a murderer, Charles Lee Ray, is chased by police. He is injured, and is dying. Before his human body dies, he performs a voodoo ritual that would transfer his soul to a doll he grabbed in the toy store he was chased into, so that he had a body for when he found a new human body that he wanted. He decided a child would be best, in order to have a longer life.
Andy, a six year old, wants a Good Guy Doll for his birthday. His mother, unable to afford the full price, buys one from a homeless street peddler who stole the doll from the burned down toy store. (The store burned down after being hit by lightning)

Chucky kills Andy's babysitter, and then the accomplice that had turned on him. Andy is found near the house of the accomplice after the crime is commited and is put into a psychiatric ward when he tells them that Chucky is alive.

His  mother doesn't believe him, until she finds the batteries were never put into the doll in the first place. Then Chucky bites her and runs away. The detective who had chased Charles Lee Ray into the toy store is almost killed by Chucky, but survives by shooting the doll.
Then, Andy, his mother, and the detective manage to destroy Chucky. Or at least, they think they have at the end of the film.
This is entirely the reason why dolls freak me out. I'm just saying.
