I've been watching all kinds of classics here lately.The Lakeside Strangler, Charles Lee Ray (Brad Dourif), is chased through the streets of Chicago after his getaway driver, Eddie (Neil Giuntoli), abandons him. He breaks into a toy store but is shot by Detective Mike Norris (Chris Sarandon). Ray vows his revenge and uses Santeria to transfer his soul at the moment of death to a Good Guys doll, which is unknowingly purchased by harried single mother Karen (Catherine Hicks) for her son's sixth birthday.
This was the movie that made Christy decide at a young age that she would never own a doll that looked that lifelike. The special effects work still holds up extremely well today, I am happy to say. I have the Chucky Collection on blu-ray but I only ever remember seeing the first one and maybe the second. It will be fun to see all of them, especially if they are as high in quality as the original.
