8 More Worst Horror Movie Decisions With Unbelievable Consequences

8. Not Burning Chucky - Child's Play

Chucky, the murderous doll from the Child's Play franchise, has killed countless people and ruined the lives of countless more. All of that mayhem could have been stopped if Karen Barclay had thrown Chucky on the fire in the very first movie.

When Karen discovers the Good Guy toy she had bought for her son Andy is sentient, she lights her fireplace and threatens to burn the doll. However, she hesitates in actually confining him to the flames.

This gives the possessed plaything a chance to attack his captor and escape. He then runs rampant throughout the rest of the film and the franchise as a whole.

Now, it's understandable why Karen was hesitant in roasting Chucky over an open fire. Realising that you've accidentally given a haunted doll to your son would be enough to knock most people back, but surely she should have known that she would never get a chance like this again.

Had Chucky ended up barbecued, then all of his future evils would never have happened. Imagine how much better the world would be if Child's Play 3 had been made...
