How to broadcast every 'Child's Play' movie

Close-up of the face of Chucky's character from the "Childs Play" movies

The murderous doll named Chucky has become a pop culture icon, with her mix of sarcasm and menace. His films have gone from scary to funny and back again, always in style. Here's how to stream all Child's play movies.

The 10 Best Horror Movies on Amazon Prime Video

Child's play (1988)

Director Tom Holland takes his time taking out Chucky (voiced by Brad Dourif) in the doll's first film, focusing instead on little Andy Barclay (Alex Vincent) and his single mother Karen (Catherine Hicks). Possessed by the mind of a serial killer, Chucky initially looks like a harmless Good Guys doll, but he ends up revealing his true murderous nature. He's less sarcastic and playful on this first outing, but instead focuses on isolating Andy so he can transfer his soul into a human body.

Child's play streams on Peacock ($ 4,99 + per month or free with ads) and is available for digital purchase ($ 12,99 +) and rental ($ 3,99) on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play , Vudu and other digital outlets.

Child's Play 2

The familiar character of Chucky is brought to the fore in this animated sequel. Andy now lives with a foster family, but Chucky finds him anyway. Again, adults don't believe Andy that Chucky is alive and evil, but this time Andy has his adopted teenage sister Kyle (Christine Elise) in his corner. This sequel realizes the potential of the original via more elaborate sets and a more substantial presence of Chucky himself as he mocks and torments Andy.

Child's Play 2 is available for digital purchase ($ 13,99 +) and rental ($ 3,99) on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, Vudu, and other digital outlets.

Child's Play 3

Released less than a year after the second film but set eight years later, the third Child's play brings in Justin Whalin to play a teenage Andy, who has been sent to a military academy. Of course, Chucky follows him there, although he's more obsessed with young student Ronald Tyler (Jeremy Sylvers) than with Andy, still trying to transfer his soul into a human body. Creativity and humor falter a bit in this episode, and the new setting and new cast doesn't quite mesh with what made the previous two films so successful.

Child's Play 3 is available for digital purchase ($ 13,99 +) and rental ($ 3,99) on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, Vudu, and other digital outlets.

The bride of Chucky

After seven years of hiatus, the franchise returns with a new tone and a new sense of purpose. Leaning into its comedic elements, the fourth film gives Chucky a love interest in the form of Tiffany (Jennifer Tilly), who was Chucky's girlfriend back when he was human. Tiffany herself soon becomes a doll, too, and the lovebird couple embark on a murderous spree across the country. Freed from the obligation to register with Andy, the series becomes a cheerfully ridiculous horror comedy.

The bride of Chucky is available for digital purchase ($ 13,99 +) and rental ($ 3,99) on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, Vudu, and other digital outlets.

Chucky seed

Now that Chucky and Tiffany are reunited, the next step, of course, is for them to have a homicidal child doll. The creator of the series Don Mancini, who wrote or co-wrote each episode, also takes over as director, in full control of his personal vision.

Chucky seed is the most overtly comedic film in the franchise, sometimes sacrificing horror in favor of vulgar humor. But Chucky and Tiffany's bizarre child Glen (voiced by Billy Boyd) is a welcome addition, and Hollywood history offers plenty of opportunities for self-mockery.

Chucky seed is available for digital purchase ($ 13,99 +) and rental ($ 3,99) on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, Vudu, and other digital outlets.

Curse of Chucky

Chucky's sixth film returns seriously, mimicking the slow build-up of the first film and keeping Chucky himself inert or offscreen for long periods of time. Returning as a writer and director, Don Mancini introduces a new family threatened by Chucky, who come in the mail, restored as a seemingly normal Good Guys doll. Mancini effectively makes Chucky creepy again, while gradually introducing familiar plot points and characters from previous films.

Curse of Chucky is available for digital purchase ($ 13,99 +) and rental ($ 3,99) on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, Vudu, and other digital outlets.

Cult of Chucky

Thanks to Chucky's renewed popularity, the seventh film brings together characters from various past films, including Andy Barclay (played again by Alex Vincent), Tiffany (Jennifer Tilly) and Curse of Chucky main character Nica Pierce (Fiona Dourif). The characters converge on a mental hospital where Chucky terrorizes patients, including Nica and Andy. No longer confined to a single doll, Chucky introduces breathtaking new powers here, taking his reign of terror to a whole new level.

Cult of Chucky is available for digital purchase ($ 13,99 +) and rental ($ 3,99) on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, Vudu, and other digital outlets.

Child's play (2019)

While Don Mancini is set to continue the original Chucky series on television, separate filmmakers are behind this reboot of the franchise. Chucky (voiced by Mark Hamill) is now a malfunctioning robotic doll part of a disturbing new line of interconnected high-tech products. He again targets a young boy named Andy (Gabriel Bateman), while Andy's overworked mother Karen (Aubrey Plaza) worries that something is wrong with her child.

Child's play streams on Epix ($ 5,99 + per month after a seven-day free trial), Hulu ($ 5,99 + per month), and Paramount + ($ 5,99 + per month after a seven-day free trial).
