10 Perfect Horror Movie Lines
5. "This IS The End, Friend!" - Child's Play
1988 cult slasher classic Child's Play - led by iconic antagonist Chucky, serial killer Charles Lee Ray's soul transplanted into a Good Guy doll - spawned one of the most successful and beloved horror franchises of all time. However, despite Child's Play's stratospheric success over the years, the soundbite delivered by Alex Vincent's Andy Barclay in the original installment remains one of the franchise's most memorable moments.
Leading up to the actual one-liner, the entire scene is audio-visual gold from start to finish. In contrast to the film's many legitimately creepy moments, Chucky's rabid temper tantrum as deuteragonist Karen traps him in a fireplace following a desperate brawl, never fails to elicit howls of laughter. As she desperately struggles with her miniature tormenter, Karen's young son Andy strikes a match and moves in to finish off their frenzied antagonist.
"Andy, no, please!" a suddenly docile Chucky pleads. Gone is the thrashing, nightmarish vision from seconds before, with the doll's wide, almost innocent eyes now staring imploringly into the boy's.
"We're friends 'till the end, remember?"
The six-year-old doesn't even blink as he coldly delivers the most badass line in juvenile cinema history and drops the match into the fireplace, leaving the doll to howl in agony as he bursts into flames.
"This IS the end, friend!"
Even though the barbecued Chucky makes a nightmarish return moments later, everything about this line - and sequence - was utterly perfect.
