Child's Play (original version)

Before the 1988 hit Child's Play, creator Don Mancini had revealed that there was some prototype information of the film. Some names considered before Child's Play was the title, included Blood Buddy and Batteries Not Included.

Plot
The original idea for Chucky was that he was not possessed by the soul of a cold-blooded serial killer, but was part of Andy's rage. Chucky's original name was Buddy. The original script also toyed with the audience a bit longer, making them wonder if Andy was the killer rather than Chucky. The doll was not seen until the third act, where he is spouting one-liners while killing Andy’s dentist. He goes after and kills the people that were Andy's enemies, including his babysitter, teacher, and his mother Karen. He only comes alive when Andy is asleep. Because Chucky is the embodiment of Andy’s unconsciousness, he decides that if he kills the boy, then Andy will be asleep forever and Chucky will be alive forever.

Why It Was Cancelled

 * 1) Steven Spielberg was already making a movie titled Batteries Not Included.
 * 2) Hasbro’s 1985 My Buddy doll was made before the movie started filming, therefore changing the name of the doll to Chucky.

Results

 * Child's Play was released in 1988, and it was a smash hit, spawning amount of sequels, a reboot, and a TV show.
