Where to start with Child's Play

This is one of the very few horror franchises where release order is simply correct: seven films and a television series that run start to finish with the same writer and the same voice, and never reboot. The only thing to keep out of the way is the 2019 remake, which is a different continuity entirely.

  1. 1
    Child's Play (1988) Child's Play

    A straight horror film, played completely without jokes, and nothing like the reputation the character later picked up. Everything after it follows on directly.

  2. 2
    Bride of Chucky (1998) Bride of Chucky

    The point where the series turns openly comic and stops pretending otherwise, and it is the better half of the run. Fine to jump here if the first film's tone is not what you wanted.

  3. 3
    Curse of Chucky (2013) Curse of Chucky

    A deliberate return to the quiet, serious register of the original after fifteen years away, and the film that sets up everything the television series then does.

Then what? After that the order is simply the order they came out. Child's Play 2 and 3 fill the gap before Bride, Seed of Chucky follows it, and Cult of Chucky leads straight into the three series of television, which are a genuine continuation rather than a reboot. The 2019 remake can be watched at any point or not at all; nothing depends on it.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Every franchise you have touched, in one code.

Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
