You wouldn't believe it, but the Child's Play franchise is one of the strongest performers in the horror genre. The first film, which featured Brad Dourif as the voice of Chucky the homicidal doll, made a pile of cash worldwide on a very low budget, and the inevitable sequels soon followed. The series saw a very entertaining reboot with 1998's Bride of Chucky and 2004's Seed of Chucky, but 2012 is going to see a remake of the original flick, toning down the comedy elements and bringing it back into the world of straight horror.
