Behind the Monsters
Chucky
S1 E3:
By the 1980's, animatronics had gotten to a level of sophistication where anything you wanted a puppet to say, it could emote. Although 'scary dolls' had been around for years, Chucky brought an authenticity to the trope, through his refined movements and sharp wit. What started as a nasty spin on 80s consumerism flourished over three decades into an unlikely progressive horror property that refuses to get back on the shelf.
