Chucky animatronic puppet from Child's Play on display...

In the 1988 cult horror movie Child's Play, a serial killer is shot and mortally wounded, but before dying finds shelter inside a toy store and uses a voodoo ritual to transfer his evil essence into a talking 'Good Guy' doll. Possessed by the soul of a murderer, 'Chucky' is born and the bloodshed begins.

Special effects and make-up artist, Kevin Yagher, was the designer and executor of the Chucky doll. Actor Brad Dourif provides the voice of Chucky.

Chucky's full name, 'Charles Lee Ray', is derived from a combination of notorious real-life killers Charles Manson, Lee Harvey Oswald and James Earl Ray.

This creepy, scarred Chucky doll was photographed at Universal Orlando's Horror Make-Up Show on September 23, 2010 and for me is certainly one of the highlights of the fantastic behind-the-scenes movie exhibit.

Tiffany animatronic from Seed of Chucky...

This creepy looking animatronic is from the fifth installment in the Child's Play film franchise, which started as a horror series and has become much more a horror-comedy movie genre.

'Chucky' is an iconic horror villain and is a 'Good Guy doll' inhabited by the soul, via voodoo magic, of serial killer 'Charles Lee 'Chucky' Ray'.

In the fourth movie, Bride of Chucky, cinema goers were introduced to 'Tiffany Valentine', Chucky's former human girlfriend and murder accomplice. Chucky murders her then resurrects her as a doll.

In the 2004 movie Seed of Chucky, we find out Tiffany and Chucky have parented a doll offspring.

The movie follows the events of Bride of Chucky and stars Jennifer Tilly, who plays herself and also provides the voice of Tiffany.
