10 Dumbest Ways Movie Characters Got Themselves Killed
4. Child’s Play - Doctor Death Lives Up To His Name
Now, if you understand how to harness the dark magic of voodoo, maybe there’s an obscure reason to teach it to a violent serial killer and all-around scumbag like Charles Lee Ray, despite the fact that he’s played by bad guy extraordinaire Brad Dourif.
At least, that’s the only plausible explanation for why John “Doctor Death” Bishop offered his 12-week explainer on Vodou religion to the villain of 1988’s classic killer doll slasher flick Child’s Play.
The first instalment in helmer Don Mancini’s long-running (and still going) franchise, the film sees pint-sized terror Chucky torture Dr Death for further information on voodoo after reincarnating himself as a children’s doll. How does a doll torture a fully-grown man?
Well, it’s pretty easy when said man teaches him voodoo, makes a voodoo doll of himself, and then tells the serial killer where he hides it before then refusing to help him.
Genius work, Doctor Death. It’s a medical marvel that you didn’t live up to your name earlier with that brilliant brain.
