* [[TwoWordsAddedEmphasis Two words]]: [[KillItWithFire Burned]] [[OutOfTheInferno Chucky.]] He strongly resembles another MGM horror villain, Tar Man from ''Film/TheReturnOfTheLivingDead ''.
-->'''Chucky:''' ''(after literally getting burnt to a crisp)'' Hello, Andy.
* The prior scene of Chucky getting trapped in the fireplace and [[ManOnFire having his entire body set ablaze]]. Not that he didn't have it coming, but his screams of agony as he frantically runs around the apartment and the score correlating are ''incredibly'' unsettling.
* Chucky implies John taught him more than the one voodoo spell we have seen in the entire series. Just imagine... Chucky may have a whole array of voodoo powers we have yet to see.[[note]]Since then, it's been shown in ''Cult'' that he can possess multiple bodies.[[/note]]
* Chucky's soul is implied to be in limbo every time he "dies". He deserves such misery, but ''sheesh''.
* When Chucky speaks (in the doll voice) ''after Andy's mom realizes there are no batteries in him.''
** Not only that, but since the battery pack is in his back, his head suddenly spins backwards a la ''Film/TheExorcist'' to look up at her. It’s a pretty effective JumpScare the first time you see it, and even after multiple viewings, it’s still creepy.
** Then when he gets serious, his voice drops and his face morphs to look more sinister.
** No wonder Bravo named it [[Series/OneHundredScariestMovieMoments one of the scariest scenes in movie history.]]
* Chucky's headless body [[JumpScare bursting out of a vent,]] with his head commanding him to kill Santos.
-->'''Chucky:''' Kill him ''now!!'' Strangle him!! ''DON'T LET GOOOOOO!!!!''
* The scene where Chucky, shortly after he is shot through the heart, says his [[LastWords dying words]] at the end of the first movie. His voice [[VocalDissonance changes from his menacing human one to the cheerful Good Guy doll voicebox]] during the last two words. Which are spoken from the doll's [[KillItWithFire charred]] [[LosingYourHead head]] that moments prior were [[BoomHeadshot blown off from the doll's body]]. And just to top it off, the doll's voicebox [[LastNoteNightmare draws out the very last word]], appropriately sounding like the "battery" of a doll dying out as it does. It is ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEaO2cocugI&t=7m1s exceedingly creepy beyond words.]]''
-->'''Chucky''': Hi. I'm Chucky! Wanna plaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay....?
* When Andy is locked up in the asylum. This kid is able to relax for a bit as despite where he is, he's at least away from Chucky. But then he sees Chucky coming for him out from his window. He tries to get the Doctor's attention, but the doctor doesn't believe him. So all he could do for now is huddle in a corner and cry knowing how screwed he is. [[spoiler:Until he faked Chucky out and gave him the slip.]]
* Andy's mom discovering Charles' old apartment room: with the walls decorated with painting depicting a voodoo ritual, a creepy white porcelain sculpture of a group of people melded together, and a message on the wall ("Oh thank you, mighty Damballa for life after death") written in blood.
* [[CrapsackWorld Not every moment of horror is Chucky-induced]]. Andy's mother is [[AttemptedRape almost raped]] by the homeless vagrant who sold her the doll.
* The AdultFear that you've let a bad influence into your home, and one that's driving your child to enable them to commit murder. Some commentators point out that they view the movie differently as a parent than they did when they were younger.

* [[CrapsackWorld Not every moment of horror is Chucky-induced]]. Andy's mother is [[AttemptedRape almost raped]] by the homeless vagrant who sold her the doll.

* Chucky implies John taught him more than the one voodoo spell we have seen in the entire series. Just imagine... Chucky may have a whole array of voodoo powers we have yet to see.

** Sure enough, this was finally confirmed in ''Cult'' when it's revealed that Chucky can [[spoiler:possess multiple bodies]].

* The deleted scene in the second film that shows Chucky's head being rebuilt.

* The third movie, when Chucky's on the computer in a dimly lit office. [[UncannyValley His reflection is really ugly]] [[https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qU9j7GVYY2I/hqdefault.jpg at that moment, even for Chucky!]]
* Chucky's death sequence in the second movie. He deserved it, but DAMN.
* The first appearance of Glen's Glenda persona. If Chucky [[EvenEvilHasStandards is freaked out by her]], you know something is wrong.

* Several of the death scenes in the series can make watchers feel uneasy. The aforementioned Doctor's death, being eletrocuted until blood comes out of his eyesockets, the businessman being suffocated in his car on the second film, the garbage man being crushed in his own truck, Joan being burned alive....
* In the first film, Andy's mom found Charles' old apartment room: with the walls decorated with painting depicting a voodoo ritual, a creepy sculpture of people melded together, and writing on the wall ("Oh thank you, mighty Damballa for life after death") written in blood.
* In ''Seed Of Chucky'', when the special effects guy unscrews the back of the Tiffany Doll... only to find a bloody spine! Then immediately afterwards, Tiff and Chucky [[OffWithHisHead decapitate him.]]
* Good ''god'', the entirety of ''Film/CurseOfChucky''. To those of you who think Chucky's suffered from {{flanderization}} and [[StupidEvil doesn't think his plans through anymore]], ''Curse'' brings him [[CharacterRerailment right back on track]], to absolutely ''terrifying'' results. For further information, [[NightmareFuel/CurseOfChucky click here]].
* [[CrapsackWorld Not every moment of horror is Chucky-induced]]. Andy's mother is [[AttemptedRape almost raped]] by the homeless vagrant who sold her the doll.
* In ''Cult'', Chucky shoots a compressed air tank at a skylight above a restrained woman, sending glass down upon her, with one of the huge shards ''cutting off her head.''
-->'''Chucky:''' Sometimes I scare myself.
* You thought ''Film/CurseOfChucky'' or even ''Film/ChildsPlay3'' ended bleakly? Well, ''Film/CultOfChucky'' has the bleakest ending of the whole franchise. [[spoiler:Chucky has successfully possessed Nica and killed the other patients and staff; Andy's killed one of the Chuckies but is locked in the asylum cell by Chucky!Nica; and he, Tiffany, and Madeleine's Chucky are all still alive, and while the latter is likely to stick with being a doll and using it to his advantage to kill whoever encounters him, Tiffany and Nica!Chucky drive off into the night maniacally laughing with a Tiffany doll in the backseat.]]
