Chucky

Chucky is the murderous doll from the *Child's Play* horror film series—a Good Guy doll possessed by the soul of a serial killer.

The name has become shorthand for creepy dolls generally, or for anyone small and unexpectedly aggressive: That little Chucky came at me swinging.

Outside horror contexts, Chucky is a nickname for Charles or Chuck.
