Chucky, Chucky

We’ve loved Chucky since 1988’s Child’s Play, but he leveled up into inspirational territory this year thanks to a surprising season three storyline on his hit Syfy/USA horror series. Despite all the black magic coursing through his plastic veins, Chucky realizes he’s aging—an incomprehensible idea for someone who’s been bulletproof for decades. It stirs anger, of course, but also deep fears about his own mortality. He’s never looked freakier… or been more relatable.
