November 2, 200916 yr Just Found this article about Horror films for Halloween and look what it says about the 1998 film, 'Child's Play', one of the 'Chucky' films! Child's Play (1988) A dying serial killer places his soul into a Good Guy doll. Enter a child called Andy. Andy wants a Good Guy doll. (Horror films can be read as metaphors for anything – in this, it's the perils of marketing to children.) His mother buys him this one. It's called Chucky and it has freckles; it looks like a Cabbage Patch Kid or, perhaps, a member of Coldplay. Chucky is the toy every child needs. He kills everyone he meets, and Andy, now a six-year-old prime suspect, is placed in a psychiatric hospital. Ha! http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2009/oct/30/horror-films-halloween Who are they referring to there, then? :laugh3:
November 2, 200916 yr I guess they're referencing Coldplay's "goody-goody" image. If not then they must be blind!
