October 25 is "Chucky, the Notorious Killer Doll Day." If you don't know who Chucky is, you have a pass. If you do, get your popcorn and beverages and watch the first film of the series. Or dress up as Chucky for Halloween. Or buy all kinds of Chucky merchandise. Or learn new behind-the-scenes facts about the series. In the 1980s, a new horror-movie character terrified audiences: Chucky. This doll was inspired by the real-life killers Charles Lee Ray, who was the inspiration for another famous movie killer, and two killers who were known for their brutality. The horror movie genre is a crossover event. Actors, characters, and plot elements from one horror movie often bleed into another. Fans love to pick up on the nuances and trivia. This time of year, film buffs and Halloween fans meet under one banner of fear and thrills.

October 25th is the day to celebrate Chucky the murderous doll.

We have been unable thus far to find the creator of this national day, but we will be sure to keep you posted.
