How would you have made Child's Play 3?

[punksthetic]

I think we all feel similarly about Child's Play 3 at least in some vein. We all accept it as part of the Chucky saga and yet it was still somewhat of a disappointment. There were slip-ups here and there and there were a lot of ways which it could have been improved.

So let's try and rewrite history, just for the sake of this thread. Let's pretend we've all gone back in time and convinced Universal to extend the production time of the movie to make it as sharp as the 2nd entry. We still take Don's framework of the movie but we instill our own vision into it to make it better.

Feel free to come up with a completely new idea for the story, but remember it'll be hard to visualize since it's not part of Chucky canon. You can all come up with your own vision for the story, but here's my version of an ideal Child’s Play 3.

Instead of 8 years later, it's only 3 years when Andy is barely 10 years old. For the sake of consistency, I'll opt to bring back Alex Vincent for this version and have it set in 1993 (when the movie would have come out, giving it another two years of development time).

As for other things to bring back, I say bring back the score from the 2nd film, except modified slightly to reflect the tone of this film (sort of like what they did with Back to the Future 1 and 2). I really think there's a lack of a consistent musical score with these movies, and I think the 2nd film did it best, opting for that fantastical epic feel. For some reason, I just feel a thrill every time I hear that music, and it fits the story perfectly as a perverted sense of innocence. Bring back the art director as well, because that house was perhaps the scariest part about the 2nd film. The lighting, the colors, the camera direction... Perfection.

Now for the story... Since I think a military school is all wrong for a Child's Play film, I'll have to scrap that idea at once. Chucky's always more scary in a home of some kind, but that's not being creative enough. Child's Play 2 already tackled a school setting, but personal experience tells me that they didn't go far enough, especially for a city like Chicago. I used to go to school in Brooklyn, NY, and the schools were built in large buildings with narrow corridors and stairwells. Couple that with the sheer number of rooms, lower levels like basements and auditoriums, the possibilities for horror are endless. Better yet, to keep the narrative roughly the same, let's make it a boarding/prep school, but one that's regulated by nuns and other strict personnel, especially a snide principal supposedly on "Andy's side” yet really just wants to avoid this kid stirring up trouble in his school. Basically an *censored* version of Colonel Cochran.

I think this revamped vibe would suit a Chucky film well. Let's just say Andy was sent away by his new foster parents because they believe he needs to "grow up" and come out of his shell. That's not to say he's a freak or outcast; I would like it if Andy is somewhat well-adjusted so that it would be that much more shocking to the system when Chucky finally shows up again after all these years.

As for Karen, it would be nice if perhaps Andy's mom wrote him letters from the funny farm and she tried to instill him with hope that things would get better again. Maybe she's up for review in a month or two and then she gets to see Andy again, so overall, Andy's excited for the future.

Cut to the Good Guy factory where everything’s getting turned off after three years of declining Good Guy doll sales due to all the controversy. The machines are all being broken down into spare parts, the company is in shambles and the personnel have all been laid off. Mr. Sullivan himself comes in and fires everyone personally… except for one lone factory worker he gets to close the factory once and for all, telling him he’ll get a “bonus.”

Except this factory worker is basically a serial killer junky and only got a job there to be close to the company that birthed the killer Good Guy doll. He somehow brings Chucky back to life since he saved what was left of the exploded mess in Child’s Play 2. He’s sick.

Anyway, long story short, Chucky kills the guy, the guy feels “honored”, moving on…

I realized that Chucky using the computer in Child’s Play 3 was done in order for him to get the details on Andy’s position fairly quickly. It was a stretch for his 1988 serial killing self, but there’s got to be another way around that. Let’s say Mr. Sullivan’s office is right above the factory. A similar scene like the one in the movie plays out, except Chucky doesn’t bother with the marbles or any of that remote control/golf club crap. Just get to the point Chucky, use your skills of misdirection to make the guy scared to be in his own office and then do your strangling thing you love to do… As for how he finds Andy? Just wait.

Chucky calls the police to report two dead bodies at the factory. Two cops come and one comes in to check out the scene, finding the factory worker bleeding out all over the floor while Chucky is sitting down next to him in “Barbie mode” with a knife in his hand, the blood on the floor spelling out “The doll did it.” The cop goes on his walkie talkie saying “You’re never gonna believe this.”

The ambulance arrives and takes both bodies to the morgue while the cops take the doll and the knife in a ziplock bag. The driver cop tells him to put the doll in the backseat and the one who found the doll tells him he wants to check it out. “What’re you afraid of?” he asks. While driving, they go to get some donuts. One of the cops leaves his walkie talkie in the car and Chucky gets on it, telling them to go to the back alley behind some street he personally knows of to check out a mysterious suspect. The cops exit the donut shop, donuts in hand as they drive over to the back alley. They get out of the car and see that it’s just a dead end. While they’re out of the car, Chucky releases the brake and presses the gas pedal, speeding ahead as one cop dodges out of the way. Meanwhile the car crashes into the wall, crushing the other cop to death. The other cop calls for backup as he opens the car door and doesn’t see the doll anywhere. He turns around and Chucky slices him in the heel, making him fall to his knees. He presses the knife to his neck and says, “You have the right to shut the *censored* up.”

Chucky gets the cop to drive him to Andy’s new boarding school. It’s night time still as the cop comes in with a big black handbag, looking skittish as he’s there on “official business.” The cop tells the nuns he’s come to drop off something Andy’s Uncle Charles left him (hah, running gag). The nuns let him through, but instead of going to the kid’s room, he goes down to the basement and throws the bag down the stairs, causing Chucky to yell out obscenities. “*censored*ING PIG! DAMN COPS!”

The cop runs upstairs and closes the door behind him. The school is labyrinthine, though, and he finds it hard to navigate his way back out. The kids are all asleep by this time as he’s roaming the stairwell. As he gets up to one stairwell, he sees a dumbwaiter on the other side of the hall. It’s activated and opening up. “No *censored*ing way…” he says. He opens the little door and sees nothing but laundry. He sighs in relief. The dumbwaiter activates again as it slides down. The cop walks away as Chucky comes out of the dumbwaiter from above the elevator inside. He throws the knife at the cop, striking him in the back as he falls down to the floor, grasping at his back. Chucky comes to him and takes the knife out. The cop looks up at him, unable to scream. He winds up his slashing arm as we cut to black.

This is quickly becoming a fanfic. Not sure what to do with all this, but I'm REALLY trying to keep it short! I'll complete this in another post sometime tomorrow.

I am indifferent to the military / boarding school setting, but I do agree it would have been better with a younger Andy still played by Alex Vincent, so that would make more sense to do a boarding school with his age. I agree it needs more school scenery, because seeing these movies as a kid, schools scenes always seem more scary in horror movies because I can relate to it more and it seems more realistic.

As for Chucky not terrorizing Sullivan, I disagree, because terrorizing his victims is Chucky's calling card. He messed with Aunt Maggie before killing her, and messed with Detective Norris before failing to kill him in the car.

As for the psycho worker rebuilding him and being honored by Chucky killing him, that seems like a stretch. A normal worker just being curious and messing with the factory machines and somehow recreating Chucky could work. I like everything involving the cops that you said, especially Chucky's humor with the one he forces to take him to Andy.

Overall I like your idea, especially since he keeps Andy as the main focus, as opposed to a tertiary character.

[punksthetic]

Thanks Spanky. I'm kind of just making this up as I go along, but I'm a writer, so I guess it just comes naturally. Yeah, some of these things could change, I don't mind too much. Some ideas were just fun to think of, like a pathetic guy obsessed with Chucky and feeling "honored" to be killed by him, kind of like the effect Bill Murray has on the Dentist in Little Shop of Horrors.

As for him terrorizing Sullivan, I agree that Chucky should do this, I just don't think the way it was handled in the movie was all that scary. I think something along the lines of what he did with Aunt Maggie would be better. It's hard to explain, but he was less overt/comedic about killing her off than he was Mr. Sullivan.

Continuing where I left off, the next day, the bell rings for the first class of the day. The kids come out of their rooms to go to class and we see that the floor the cop was killed on has been wiped clean (ominous music suggesting Chucky cleaned up the place so no one would suspect anything).

Andy’s going to class and one of his questionable new friends shows him a cigarette he managed to get off of one of the older students. He pressures him into going to the bathroom with him to smoke it, even though Andy doesn’t really feel like it. “Come on, all the cool kids are doing it,” he says to him. Andy wants to feel accepted by these kids, so he goes along with it. Peer pressure at its finest.

As the bell rings, they’re smoking in the bathroom while Andy has a grimace on his face. As his experience in Child’s Play 2 taught him, he doesn’t like the taste of cigarettes. ”You feel cool, right?” asks the kid. Andy smiles politely. The door swings open and a nun manages to find her way into the boy’s bathroom, scolding both of them. The kid pawns the cigarette off on Andy telling the nun that he made him do it. The nun penalizes Andy and the other kid goes to class. Chucky, meanwhile, has been watching the whole scene from the closed bathroom stall. The nun orders Andy to clean the entire bathroom using the cleaning supplies in the hallway supply room as punishment. Andy does as he’s told.

While he’s mopping up the bathroom, he opens each stall to clean them up individually. One by one, he cleans each of them, until he reaches Chucky’s stall. He opens it up to find nothing in there (ominous sound!). He’s cleaning the toilet bowl, looking in the toilet water and for a moment sees the reflection of a face. He looks up and sees nothing. He sighs and continues cleaning the toilet bowl when he hears something behind him; the sound of the brooms falling to the floor. He sighs and tells himself “Jesus Andy, grow up already…”

Later, he brings the cleaning supplies back to the supply room. It’s a small room with a couple cabinets, shelves for supplies, a sink, etc. When he puts the mop back, the door closes behind him. He can’t see anything, so he pulls the light switch cord hanging from the ceiling. The light turns on and he goes to the door to try to open it; it’s locked. He then hears something from inside the dual cabinet on the other side of the room. He gulps and slowly walks over to it. When he opens one of the cabinets, there’s only tools and a dirty jacket hanging inside of it.

Then the door next to it pops open and the decapitated body of the cop falls out of it, bleeding onto the floor as Andy is taken aback. All the horror is flooding back to him now as he steps back and sees Chucky standing on top of the cabinet as a similar scene from CP3 plays out where he stumbles back and says "No, no, we killed you!" and Chucky delivers one of his best lines, “Well you know what they say, you just can’t keep a good guy down.” Don’t fix it if it ain’t broke.

The difference this time is that his focus is still on Andy, since Tyler doesn’t exist. Chucky takes note of his supposed “friend” from before, saying “Good guys these days are hard to come by… I should know, I’m the last one,” alluding to the fact that he’s the last Good Guy doll to ever be made from here on out. He takes out his signature knife and tells him, “You know the drill.”

Cut to us zooming out from Andy’s face as Chucky is doing the chant. The clouds are forming outside, thunder is cracking and Chucky starts laughing out loud. He can sense something different this time around. There’s no one coming to interrupt them. The lightning outside strikes a powerline outside and the lights turn off momentarily. The generators turn the power on as we cut to the kids and teachers in their rooms looking slightly disturbed by the sudden storm. The clouds disperse as Chucky and Andy are looking back at each other… from the others body.

I know some might hate where I'm going with this, but bear with me.

[Spanky]

I enjoy reading this, as I too like to write or come up with movie ideas.

How old is Andy supposed to be in this? Because for 10ish, Andy seems really mature for his age, which I guess can be attributed to the fact he's been fighting for his life against Chucky for a while. The whole cigarette thing feels like it would be more teenager-like, but then again in "The Good Son" with Macaulay Culkin and Elijiah Wood, there was a scene were Culkin pressures Wood into smoking a cigarette (and they were like 10 as well in the film). Andy being 10 would fit him submitting to Chucky so easily, because a teenager Andy (like in 3) would stand up more and deduce Chucky's need for Andy to be alive, so he can fight back without Chucky hurting him.

I like the cleaning supplies cabinet / closet scene, very reminiscent of the scene from 2 with Ms. Kettlewell before Chucky pumps some death into her.

There's also potential for Chucky to kill one of the other kids in the school. Like Andy is picked on and gets beat up often, and Chucky trips a kid down the stairs too his death or something that looks like an accident, because Chucky doesn't want his potential body in Andy getting roughed up by *censored* kids.

Overall though man, this is pretty good stuff. I look forward to reading this out and hope you post more stuff like this, because this is some of the only "fanfic" I have read that seems like it would fit well with the franchise.

[punksthetic]

Thanks a lot, Spanky! Glad to see you're enjoying it. I really love this series, so this is a lot of fun to do, even if nothing ever comes of it. ^^

You know, now that you mention it, Andy should probably put up more of a fight. After being the target of Chucky for so long, he's probably built up some defenses of his own. Besides, he's older now and on the cusp of puberty. If he's going to grow up, now is the best time. It'd be great to finally see him strike back at Chucky physically. Maybe after Chucky says, "You know the drill," he quickly picks up a broom and swats at the little shit, knocking him off the cabinet. Chucky would then disappear for a minute into the shadows, then pop out at Andy and wrestle him to the floor like in Child's Play 2. "Just like old times, eh, sport?" Then we'd cut to the chant as described earlier.

After the lights turn back on, the nun opens the door and sees Andy lying on the floor with the doll sitting next to him. She drags him up from the floor and scolds him for sleeping in the middle of school hours. She pulls him out of the room as he looks back at the doll, getting further and further away. The doll looks back at him until the door closes. The doll stands up and looks at his hands, his face obscured. "No... It can't be..." says Andy inside the doll. Somehow, he and Chucky had switched bodies, presumably the power outage having something to do with disturbing the flow of energy. Instead of merely forcing Andy's soul out, it found refuge inside the doll.

Chucky inside Andy's body is now sitting in class next to the kid who made Andy smoke moments earlier. He leans over and whispers to him while the teacher writes on the board and lectures away. "Hey Andy, sorry about before. It's just, I already have 30 demerits, and if I get one more, my dad'll kill me." Chucky gives him a creepy grin as the kid looks back at him feeling disturbed. "Don't worry about it..." says Chucky. "We're still friends til the end..." Even though he's technically not the doll anymore, I'd like to think this "Good Guy" mentality is just part of his overall persona now.

Andy, still inside the Good Guy doll, opens the door to the hallway closet, looking around to make sure there's no one else around. He looks down the hall to see the nun exiting her office. He gulps in fear and makes a run for it. Once inside, he gets on the rotary phone and dials out.

Meanwhile, the phone rings at an "alternative clothing" store. "Hot Topic, this is Kyle, how can I help you?" "Kyle! It's Andy, I need your help." "Andy? Is that you? You sound strange... What's going on?" "Please, just come down to the basement at the St. Peters boarding school on 5th. Hurry!"

Cut to Kyle driving down to the boarding school. While walking through the halls, the bell rings and class lets out. She sees "Andy" walking out of the classroom behind his "friend" with a creepy smile on his face. She calls out for him, "Andy!" She goes up to him and and grabs his shoulders. "Andy, what's going on? Are you alright?" Chucky is taken aback by her, remembering what she'd done to him at the end of the last movie, but he puts on his "Good Guy" face to throw her off his trail. "Of course I'm alright, Kyle... Never better." Kyle looks at him with confusion. "I'm gonna be late to class... See you real soon!" Chucky walks off and calls after his friend as Kyle just watches them leave.

Cut to her going down the stairs to the basement. She finds a flashlight and turns it on, shining the light down the steps. For whatever reason, she feels in her gut that something's wrong, so she does what Andy told her to do earlier. Upon going down there, she looks around at the various machines and supplies. She hears a shuffling sound and turns around with the flashlight. She swallows as she sees the door on the other side of the room open slightly. She walks over to it slowly and reaches for the door handle.

"Kyle," says Andy's voice from behind her. She turns around and sees the Good Guy doll standing there, his face looking scared and innocent, not at all like Chucky. It's then that she realizes what happened. She yells at the top of her lungs as Andy recoils in fright.

Chucky, still inside Andy's body, is in the stairwell with his "friend," forcing him to smoke a big cigar. "Come on, all the cool kids are doing it," says Chucky as the kid starts hacking up the smoke. "Pussy." Chucky smokes the cigar with ease. Suddenly, Chucky hears the scream as he leaves the cigar with the kid and runs to the source.

Kyle is looking back at Andy, scared for him as she kneels down to him.
"Andy... I'm sorry I wasn't there to protect you..."
"It's alright, Kyle... I guess Chucky won..."
"You listen to me. We're going to fix this, okay? That son of a *censored* isn't getting away with this."

The door to the basement opens up as Kyle and Andy look at the aura of light. Chucky is descending the staircase. He takes out his knife, silhouetted in the glow of the light as he enters the basement. He sees no one there, but he looks up to see the window pain leading to the ground floor of the school grounds swinging open. He glares at the window and sheaths his knife. "SHIT."

[Spanky]

Oh man this is getting good, so glad you brought back Kyle and Chucky is still going with the Good Guy stuff. I always wanted to know what would happen if they switched bodies. I also like how Chucky does the cigar smoking at the kid, I can only imagine what Chucky has in store for him.

I usually stay away from this site within hours of going to bed, because even at 23, I'll still get the heebie jeebies at night going to bed when thinking about Chucky. I am hoping now I'll dream some of this stuff up so I can picture it in my head.

Can't wait for more!

While I did like CP3, I gotta say your alternative version of it is 10x cooler, I would love to see this turn into a full-fledged fanfic.

Agreed, I hope you keep us updated (myself and Trilogy at least) on any future fanfic you come up with. I would love to read it and give you my feedback.    

[punksthetic]

(Thanks for reading, you guys. I'm having fun with this.)

Kyle is driving Andy in her car, the doll just sits there in the passenger seat looking scared. Kyle glances over at him. Andy glances up at her as she puts her hand on his in support. He smiles slightly as they end up outside a library. “This shouldn’t take long… Just stay calm, okay?” She takes him up in her arms and goes into the library. She goes to the information counter and asks the woman “Excuse me, can you tell me where the voodoo section is?” The woman looks at her like she’s a freak, panning her eyes to the doll.

Cut to Kyle finding a large book on voodoo. She sets Andy down on a table in the back of the library where no one else goes. She opens the book and looks at the pictures and various chapters. She lands on a chapter called “Possession.” Andy looks out to make sure no one else is around. The library is a ghost town. “Here it is, I recognize this word… Damballa.” Andy reads over her shoulder with her. “It’s some kind of voodoo god. That must be what he prays to when doing the chant.”

“I remember…” says Andy. “Ade due Damballa… Give me the power, I beg of you.” He looks over at Kyle. “If I say this, I can get back in my body again?”

“It’s worth a shot,” says Kyle. Suddenly, the lights in the front of the library start turning off. The overhead lights turn off row by row until finally reaching them. “No way that little *censored*er followed us here…” It’s completely dark now. The lights flicker and turn back on again. Kyle sees that nothing has changed in the library, except it’s dead quiet now. “Come on,” she says to Andy while taking the voodoo book with her. He appears frightened and hesitant to go, feeling like a little kid again in this little kid body. “Andy… You can do this,” she says to him. He nods and blinks his eyes. “Here,” she says, taking out a pocket knife. Andy takes it and flicks it open. “What about you?” he asks. Kyle takes out a small gun from her pocket and cocks it. “You think I’d come empty-handed?”

They walk out from their row, advancing slowly back to the front of the library. As they pass a row, Kyle almost sees something at the end of one of the rows. She stops and tells Andy to come with her. A book falls out from one of the cases, startling Andy. Kyle runs to the end of the row to catch him on the other side of the row, but she sees nothing. She goes back to the row she was in seeing Andy there with Chucky standing behind him holding an axe. “ANDY, LOOK OUT!” Andy turns around and ducks as Chucky slices through the air with his axe and cuts into one of the bookcases. He stares out at them through crystal blue eyes as his hair flails wildly. Chucky looks at the book Kyle’s holding. “Knowledge is power… Too bad you won’t be alive long enough to use it.” His face has contorted to one of an evil sneer as a maniacal laugh erupts from him.

Kyle grabs Andy and runs with him down the aisle down to the end of the library. She passes a trail of dead bodies on the way as she sees broken glass on the floor from the box Chucky must have grabbed the axe out of. She sees a fire extinguisher next to it as she looks back at Chucky stalking them slowly. “Kyle, what are you doing? He’s coming!” says Andy. Chucky swings the axe in his hand and then throws it at them. Kyle runs out of the way and the axe hits a dead guy reading War & Peace in the face.

As Chucky makes it to the end of the aisle, he turns the corner and Kyle knocks him in the face with the butt end of the fire extinguisher, knocking him to the floor. Kyle and Andy come closer to him as he appears to be passed out. Andy stands over him and looks back at Kyle. “I think he’s sleep—“ Chucky launches up and tries to strangle Kyle. Andy tries wrestling him off her, but he’s just a doll. Then he remembers the knife Kyle gave him. He reaches for it and stabs Chucky right in the side. He falls back and passes out on the floor (for reals this time). Kyle reaches for her throat. “Andy… What’d you do?!” “He was going… to kill you…” She reached for Andy to hug him. She looks down at the wound as she takes out the knife. “It’s not very deep… We can patch it up. Come on.”

Cut to the school. Kyle is bringing both Chucky and Andy back to his room. “On the left, here,” says Andy. She lies Chucky down on the bed and Andy stands over him. Kyle opens the book to the page of the chant and puts it on top of Chucky (Andy). “Here… Read it aloud…”

“Ade due Damballa… Give me… Give me the power… I beg of you!” says Andy, looking upward. He looks at the rest of the text as clouds and thunder start to form outside. “Secoise entienne mais pois de morte. Morteisma lieu de vocuier de mieu vochette. Endonline pour de boisette damballa!” Thunder cracks as lightning courses through the sky. Andy can almost say the chant fluently now, as if some of the language was left from when Chucky inhabited the doll earlier. “Secoise entienne mais pois de morte. Endelieu pour de boisette damballa! Endelieu pour de boisette damballa! Endelieu pour de boisette damballa!”

Chucky’s eyes open and look at Andy before he says the final line. "You little *censored*."

“ENDELIEU POUR DE BOISETTE DAMBALLA!”

The lights turn out and then turn back on again. The doll is missing as Kyle looks around quickly for it. “Andy?” Kyle looks down at the boy, his eyes have changed to a warm brown again. “Andy?”

“Where’s Chucky?” he asks.

Chucky wraps a SNES controller cord around Kyle’s neck, pulling her to the floor as Andy tries to move off the bed.  He grabs at his wound in pain as Kyle looks back at him, her lights dimming by the second.

"YOU *censored*ING CUNT! YOU RUINED EVERYTHING!" yells Chucky, pulling the cord tighter and tighter. "DIE, YOU *censored*ING *censored*!"

He reaches into his pocket and feels something. He pulls it out and sees that it’s a gun. He holds it up and points it at Chucky and pops off a shot, shooting off his ear as blood trickles down his neck. He helps Kyle back up and sees that Chucky’s missing. “Where is he?” asks Kyle.

“I don’t know… but he’ll be back.”

[chucky2889]

I'm loving this!!!!!

[chuckylover911]

Oh. My. God. This... this is beautiful! I mean it. I'm really enjoying reading this masterpiece! I'm sorry I couldn't give you a better review than that. I've never been great at writing reviews. (Oh and keep me updated as well if you are to make any fanfics in the future about the series! I'm very interested.)

[punksthetic]

The next day, nearing the end of the school day, Andy is surprised to hear that everyone in the school is going on a field trip tonight to the mall movie theater to watch a cartoon movie (probably Aladdin or something of the era). Since Andy is still fairly new, he never got a permission slip to give to his parents. This means he's going to be alone in the school as the rest of the school personnel is headed home for the day. Andy has a mini panic attack when he realizes he’ll be a sitting duck all alone there.

Back in his room, his friend who made him smoke (let's just call him Rodney) is gearing up with snacks in his backpack to bring to the movie theater. Andy is sitting there worried and the kid looks at him with a smile. "Hey, don't worry man. It'll be out on video soon." Rodney gets up and is about to leave.

“Wait, don’t go,” says Andy.

“Dude, it’s just a movie!” Rodney shakes his head and closes the door behind him. Andy gulps and goes to the window to look outside. He sees the kids getting loaded on the bus. He jerks his eyes to the side to see Chucky waving at him from the back of one of the school buses. Andy panics as Chucky’s wave turns into the middle finger. Andy runs downstairs to catch up with the kids, but the nun from before stops him.

“Andy! There’s no running here!”

“But Ma’am, I need to—“

“Wait a minute, you don’t have a permission slip, do you? Get back up to your room immediately or I will give you 10 demerits and call your parents!”

Andy sees the doll going by on the stark yellow school bus as one of the kids picks him up and starts showing him around the bus to the rest of the kids. Andy runs back upstairs to his room and grabs the gun that he had in his pocket last night. He runs out behind the school where no one is watching and sees a bike chained up to a parking rack. He sees that all of them are locked, so he goes down to the basement and grabs some clippers to clip through the lock. He takes the bike out and starts barreling down the street to catch up with the buses.

It’s nighttime by the time Andy catches up with the buses, and they’re already parked outside the mall movie theater. He runs inside and looks at the box office to see Rodney holding Chucky in his arms as he’s rushed into the theater with a crowd of kids. Instead of running toward them, he runs the opposite way, further into the mall. He winds up at the Hot Topic and sees Kyle sitting down reading a magazine as she checks out someone at the register. Andy runs up to her and Kyle sees him out of the corner of her eye as she puts the magazine down. “Andy? What are you doing here, what’s wrong?”

“It’s Chucky. He’s back. I think he wants to take one of the other kids.”

“Oh shit.”

Cut to Kyle paying for Andy at the box office. “One adult and…” she looks over at Andy for a second. “Two adults for Aladdin, please.” Andy smirks mildly. They get the tickets and run inside the theater lobby. They hand their tickets to be torn and see the marquee that says “ALADDIN” at the end of the hallway. Kyle stops Andy and looks at him. “You gonna be alright?” she asks.

Andy pulls out his gun and looks up at her. “You think I would come empty-handed?”

Kyle smirks at him as they enter the dark theater. “This’ll be like shooting fish in a barrel,” says Kyle. There are hundreds of kids talking, laughing and eating all at once. It’s a madhouse. Andy looks around the theater with Kyle. They both look at one another and see at least 50 kids holding identical Good Guy dolls all around them...

Andy sees his friend Rodney sitting in the audience with Chucky. He runs up to him and tries to grab the doll from him. “Andy? What the hell are you doing?”

“I’m sorry, Rodney, I’ll explain later.”

“Like hell you will, give it back.” Andy takes out his gun and points it at him. Rodney puts his hands up in defense. “Hey man, it’s yours…”

“You’ll thank me later,” says Andy, taking the doll out of the theater. They run upstairs and find a random room to run into; the projector room currently showing Aladdin. It’s empty, so they use it.

They place the doll down in front of the projector as it stares out blankly. They watch it for a moment as it just sits there.

“Jesus,” sighs Kyle.

“Did we get the wrong one?”

“Yeah, I think—“ pauses Kyle as she sees blood trickling down the doll’s neck from its ear. Its face contorts into an evil grimace as Chucky starts laughing. Andy and Kyle step back a little bit.

“Hahaha, ya got me.” Chucky pulls out a knife from his back pocket and leaps out at Kyle, slashing at her blouse. Andy tries aiming the gun at him, but he moves too quickly. He manages to hide somewhere in the room. Andy looks over at Kyle as he nods to the stack of film reels. They both go over to it, the shadows in the room flickering on the walls from the projector light. Andy steps behind the film reels and sees nothing. He looks back at Kyle and she shrugs back at him. Chucky jumps down from the top shelf on the wall, knocking Andy to the floor as the gun slides across the room. “You little shit, you’re going to wish you were never born once I’m through with you!” yells Chucky as he pulls on Andy’s hair.

Kyle grabs the gun and points it at Chucky. “Get off of him or I’ll shoot!” she yells out. Chucky clings to Andy as he tries to wrestle him off. He looks over at the projector shooting light out of the small opening in the wall. Andy stands up and launches Chucky out of the window into the audience below.

Chucky yells as he’s falling into the crowd below, “SHIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTT!!!!” He lands on the lap of the nun sitting in the audience as he slashes her right in the neck. The kids in the audience start to yell and panic as they all run out of the theater. Andy and Kyle run back downstairs to see the kids running out of the theater. As they head in, the movie is still running. The part in the movie is when Genie is singing “You’ve never had a friend like me.” The kids all left their Good Guy dolls stranded in the auditorium, so there are now dozens of them sitting in the flickering darkness of the theater.

Awesome stuff, I was looking forward all day to reading this while I was at work.

My only question is about the permission slip. Andy seems to be in a boarding school, along with the other kids, meaning nobody lives at home with their parents, so it seems odd, especially since Andy is probably not the only kid there without parents (at least one that has legal guardianship over him). Also, why would he care about the demerits and his parents (or lack thereof) caring? Just a minor detail I noticed.

This is getting better and better though man, keep it up!

Maybe he's in trouble for getting caught smoking again and as punishment, he has to stay behind while the other kids go to the theater.

That's true. Or possibly take a part from CP3 where Chucky finds Andy's porno mag, except in this case the nun finds it. Or it can even take from CP2 where Chucky sabotages Andy's school work to get him a detention.
