* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Many of the children and young teenagers on the show engage in deeply unsettling behavior, made all the creepier because the show ''doesn't'' engage in DawsonCasting. Examples include:
** Charles Lee Ray himself shows this in the flashback at the start of episode 2; it reveals as a kid he once [[spoiler:[[SelfHarm bit into an apple he knew]] had [[RazorApples a razor blade in it]], and smiles as he bleeds profusely from his mouth. The next episode even reveals he [[{{Matricide}} killed his own mother]] around that age]]. In episode 4, it's revealed that as a teenager was once playing ''Literature/PeterPan'' with three young boys at the orphanage,... and then he shows them [[spoiler:the mutilated corpse of the orphanage's janitor]], saying he "got Captain Hook". While two of the boys understandably run off in terror, one stays behind, showing a bizarre interest in it. [[spoiler:That boy is later revealed to be [[Film/ChildsPlay1988 Eddie Caputo]]]].

** Season 1:
*** Just when [[spoiler: Bree accepts her cancer diagnosis and making the best of the time she has left, Chucky rams an office cart straight into her, crashing her through the window of a high-rise building and onto a car - the same car her son Junior was in.]]
*** Chucky stabs [[spoiler:Detective Payton multiple times with used syringes, this was right after paralyzing him by throwing a scalpel in his spine]].
*** Chucky decapitates [[spoiler:Principal [=McVey=]]], and rolls their head on-stage during a live school assembly, and then later shows off their headless body behind the curtain.
*** The season finale sees [[spoiler:Nathan Cross]] being killed via AssShove when Chucky stabs them through the seat they are sitting on, and Jake [[spoiler:strangles the Chucky doll that tormented him until his eyes pop out of his head]].
** Season 2:
*** Jake's [[spoiler:foster brother Gary gets blown up by a fertilizer bomb]].
*** A super-buff doll version of Chucky punches a hole through [[spoiler:Trevor's]] chest.
*** The penultimate episode of season 2 sees [[spoiler:the real Jennifer Tilly, stuck in the body of the Tiffany doll]] getting hit by a semi-truck and getting reduced to a smear, [[spoiler:Father Bryce ''exploding'' as a result of his possession by Chucky]], and [[spoiler:Dr. Mixter being shot to death while in Chucky's body, having her jaw shot off and later bleeding out]].
*** In the finale, Glenda [[spoiler: kills a hapless security guard with a defibrillator, shocking them until their head immolates]], [[spoiler:Michelle]] is brutally bisected by a chainsaw attack from Chucky and then later [[spoiler:Lexy finishes off Chucky with the same chainsaw, slicing him in half and cutting up his face]].
** Season 3:
*** Chucky slits [[spoiler: Samantha's]] throat so brutally that he almost ''decapitates'' them. What's worse is that for a few seconds, they were ''still alive'', just barely as they looked in horror at Chucky upside down.
*** Chucky shoves an umbrella down the throat of [[spoiler: a taxi cab driver (played by Creator/KenanThompson), and then ''opens it'', spraying blood everywhere]].
