10 Things You Didn't Know About Chucky
5. His First Victim Was His Own Mother
It's amazing what you can find out if you do a little reading.
Matthew J. Costello wrote the official novelisation of Child's Play 2 and the author added a few bonus scenes to the story which fleshed out the backstories of Chucky and Andy Barclay.
One chapter whisks the reader back to the youth of Charles Lee Ray, to a time long before his soul was transferred into a tomb of plastic. It reveals that the soon-to-be serial killer was placed in special needs classes as a child, was bullied, had an absent father and an abusive mother.
His first murder victim ended up being his own mother, whom he strangled to death. This would go on to become his MO, hence the nickname the Lakeshore Strangler.
