Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Mark Hamill recorded his Chucky voice work entirely alone in a sound booth, never meeting the child actor until the premiere. He based the voice partly on his own damaged childhood toys.
The film's release was complicated by the ongoing original Chucky franchise (still running from creator Don Mancini), making this the rare horror remake that existed in direct competition with its own source material. Mancini publicly shaded it.
