Bride of Chucky 1998

Bride of Chucky is a 1998 American black comedy slasher film written by Don Mancini and directed by Ronny Yu. The fourth installment in the Child's Play franchise, it stars Jennifer Tilly, Brad Dourif, John Ritter, Katherine Heigl, and Nick Stabile. Unlike the first three films, Bride of Chucky takes a markedly humorous turn towards self-referential parody. It also departs from the Andy Barclay storyline of the first three films, focusing mainly on series villain Chucky, a doll possessed by a serial killer, and his former lover and accomplice Tiffany, whose soul is also transferred into a doll. Bride of Chucky was released on October 16, 1998, by Universal Pictures. The film received mixed reviews from critics and grossed over $50 million worldwide on a budget of $25 million, becoming the highest-grossing film of the series. A sequel, Seed of Chucky, was released in 2004.
