10 Worst Birthdays In Horror Movies

The worst things to happen to Andy don’t necessarily happen on his birthday, but it is the day that Chucky is brought into his life and it’s all downhill from there.

First of all, what was his mother thinking when she got her beloved tiny son a gift from a random man on the street? At that point you almost expect something to be wrong with it, but in fairness you probably think it’ll be broken rather than it’ll be possessed by the spirit of a fugitive serial killer.

When Andy receives the Good Guy doll, it is the first moment in a string of unfortunate events which will eventually see him confined in a psychiatric ward. Not only was the kid probably rightfully a bit terrified when his birthday present confessed to murder, but he’s forced to go along with it all and know for the rest of his life he was complicit in some horrible deaths.

For all his trauma, he doesn’t even get the full satisfaction of being rid of Chucky at the end. There’s still several more films of chaos for ol’ Chucky to cause and it’s all because of that fateful birthday when his mum got him the world’s worst present.
