Favorite scene: Chucky with the ruler

This year, I'm reviewing my 31 favorite horror movie sequels every day of October. And of course, I'm including Child's Play 2. Full review here: http://myvinylmuse.com/horror-sequel-marathon-childs-play-2-1990/

Chucky targets Andy’s abrasive third grade teacher by beating her to death with a ruler. This scene is fantastic for a number of reasons. First, Chucky is using the teacher’s weapon against her. Context is key. And this scene is even more satisfying given how terribly the teacher has treated Andy.

Originally, the creators of the “Child’s Play” series had considered having Chucky be a manifestation of Andy’s id, much like Milo in the 2013 horror comedy “Bad Milo.” The duo even form an upsetting relationship during the first act of “Child’s Play.” So having Chucky murder Andy’s abusive teacher works well to highlight the unsettling connection between Andy and Chucky.
