17 - Chucky Is Your Friend 'Til the End

  • Summary

  • Hidey-ho! It’s Halloween, and things are getting a little spooky around here. Jeff’s experience with this holiday—and with creepy movies—is pretty limited, so Josue thought this would be a good time to take a plunge into nostalgic horror with an iconic film from the 80’s. Child’s Play. Starring the one and only Chucky, ‘your friend to the end.’

    We kick things off with a little quiz where Jeff gets to flex his new found knowledge about our friend Charles. Let’s see how much there is to know about this doll that kicked off a long-running, freaky franchise that just keeps coming back like some sort of voodoo.

    Scroll down to the poll to let us know what you think of Child’s Play! While you’re there, drop a comment to let us know your best ever Halloween costume. If you have suggestions for future episodes, we’d love to hear them at ideas@WDYT.show⁠.
