I always wondered what do you guys think about Dons Original 1986 concept for Child's Play the the original concept of "Buddy" a two foot tall spikey haired head band wearing blue eyed doll in lime green sweat pants and red tennis shoes featuring a pull string and a bunch of buddy brand accessories who becomes the embodiment of this demented little boys deep seeded psychological hatred for the people around him.
Given to him by his workaholic marketing executive mother, Andy
becomes blood brothers with Buddy(through an unsafe concept that would not stand in this day and age) where Andy cuts his finger and the dolls who's is filled with artificial blood for parents to buy "Buddy Brand" band-aids, and touches fingers. The boys bad karma some how through what Don refers to as "the frankenstein moment", aka movie magic, is transported into the body of the doll, and when the day dies down and nighttime falls while young Andy sleeps, the doll systematically dispatches all the people the little boy can not lash out at himself. The babysitter, his dentist, and even his mother, who Buddy attempts to strangle with his pull string.
I really wish this script was floating around so we could read it. I just like hearing about the creative process and learning things we never knew about the characters, I also enjoyed learning about the evolution of chucky like from this concept to the introduction of the Charles lee ray character whom apparently was executed in jail during a lightning storm, and through a Frankenstein moment, his soul is transported into the doll sans voodoo.
What do you guys think ?
Here's a cool bit of nostalgia, it's a history of Dons movie career, from his first project sold to united Artist in 1986 to seed what we know as Child's Play, that they reffered to as Bloody Buddy's.
