Child's Play (88) #MonsterMonday
"No one believes the truth... Or lives to tell it."
The Rio Theatre's #MonsterMonday series continues on October 24 at 9:30 pm with the original CHILD'S PLAY, the iconic 80s horror slasher about a kinda cute, almost cuddly demon-doll that answers to the name of "Chucky."
Gunned down by Detective Mike Norris (Chris Sarandon), dying murderer Charles Lee Ray (Brad Dourif) uses black magic to put his soul inside a doll named Chucky -- which Karen Barclay (Catherine Hicks) then buys for her young son, Andy (Alex Vincent). When Chucky kills Andy's baby sitter, the boy realizes the doll is alive and tries to warn people, but he's institutionalized. Now Karen must convince the detective of the murderous doll's intentions, before Andy becomes Chucky's next victim.
"Scary, yet darkly funny, this thriller of the supernatural from the director of the terrific "Fright Night" moves with the speed of a bullet train and with style to burn." (Los Angeles Times)
