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. To carry it to another device, move the code below.

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.

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.

Restoring replaces the progress currently saved on this device for the franchise the code belongs to.
