8 Horror Characters Whose Fates Were Only Revealed In Spin-Offs
1. The Killer Doll Lands On SyFy
It's Chucky, the killer doll! A compelling example of a horror movie icon who has no right to be as successful as he is - not because he's not awesome, but because a murderous kid's toy is a goofy as hell premise for a horror baddie.
This red-headed spawn of Satan has seen a lot of movies in his lifetime, with the last (ignoring the non-canon 2019 remake) being Cult of Chucky. This movie saw the doll terrorise a psychiatric hospital and gain the ability to split his soul into multiple dolls/people. It concluded with Chucky riding off into the sunset with his ex-wife Tiffany in the body of the movie's lead, Nica. What happened next? Well, SyFy had the answers!
This 2021 TV series acts as a direct sequel, showing a young boy named Jake picking up a Good Guy doll in a yard sale that happens to be possessed by Charles Lee Ray. The series cleverly tackles LGBTQ+ themes, as the young Jake struggles with his sexuality, and the killer doll takes it to murderous extremes.
Besides this compelling A-plot, the show also follows up on Tiffany and Chucky (in the body of Nica) as they struggle to stop Nica from regaining control. There are also some much-needed flashbacks to the early life of Charles, showing his rise as a serial killer.
