== [[Child's Play (film)|The film series]] ==
* [[Channel Hop]]: The first movie was by MGM/United Artists. The follow-ups by [[Universal]] or its subsidiaries.
* [[The Danza]]: Grace Poole (played by Grace Zabriskie) in the second film.
Line 13 ⟶ 12:
** And maybe the most [[Hilarious in Hindsight|hilarious]] one: [[Soichiro Hoshi]] voiced Glen/Glenda in ''Seed of Chucky''. Try to guess which other series he worked voicing an annoying teenager and involving '''[[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED|Seeds]]'''.
*** In the American version, Glen is [[The Lord of the Rings (film)|Peregrin Took]].
* [[Irony as She Is Cast]]: Hannah Spearitt - famous pop star and later cult TV star - playing a PA on a film set.
* [[Meaningful Release Date]]: Charles Lee Ray becomes Chucky on November 9th, 1988, the same day that the first film opened.
* [[Real Life Relative]]: 2013's ''Curse of Chucky'' stars Fiona Dourif, the daughter of Chucky himself Brad Dourif.
** Also in the original ''Child's Play'', Chucky was sometimes played by Alex Vincent's (Andy's) two-year-old sister.
* [[The Red Stapler]]: Inverted. Ever hear of "My Buddy" dolls? They looked a lot like Chucky. And the series effectively scrapped the line.
** Played straight as well, as you can buy full-sized Chuckie dolls.
* [[Refitted for Sequel]]: Several sequences:
* [[What Could Have Been]]: ''Child's Play'' creator Don Mancini original conception of ''Child's Play'' was completely different. Originally titled ''Blood Buddy''. The dolls would have synthetic blood and Andy would mix his blood with Buddy's fake blood as part of a blood brother ritual. The doll would come alive as a manifestion of the Andy's ID and kill the people Andy had unexpressed anger toward.
** The death of the teacher and the factory finale in ''2'' were both intended to be featured in the original.
 
** The opening scene in ''Child's Play 3'' was originally how ''Child's Play 2'' would have ended (and, in fact, a different version of it is used in some TV versions).
== [[Child's Play|The game show]] ==
** It was also how ''Child's Play'' was going to end back when the factory was the intended finale.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Yep, it's Bill Cullen. Anne Marie Johnson (''In Living Color'') appeared as a contestant, while Jeff Cohen (''The Goonies'') and Lori Beth Dinberg (''All That'') gave definitions.
** The evidence locker scene in ''Bride of Chucky'' was going to be the opening of ''Child's Play 2''.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Gene Wood announced a great many Goodson-Todman games prior to this point.
** The electrocution of Tiffany in ''Bride of Chucky'' was how the babysitter died in an earlier draft of the first film's script.
** The ending of ''Curse of Chucky'' with the court case and Chucky being among the evidence and Fioana being declared legally insane was intended for the beginning of ''Child's Play 2'' with Karen Barclay's character.
* [[Talking to Himself]]: In ''Seed'', Tiff's voice actor, Jennifer Tilly is a separate, and very main character. They lampshade this about every two minutes.
* [[Throw It In]]: Brad Dourif ad-libbed Chucky's infamous "fuck you" in the first film's elevator scene.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: ''Child's Play'' creator Don Mancini original conception of ''Child's Play'' was completely different. Originally titled ''Blood Buddy''. The dolls would have synthetic blood and Andy would mix his blood with Buddy's fake blood as part of a blood brother ritual. The doll would come alive as a manifestionmanifestation of the Andy's ID and kill the people Andy had unexpressed anger toward.
** A Chucky video game for consoles was planned, but sadly the Kickstarter project only raised $585 of its $925,000 goal.
