The Rush's Creatures of the Night

Charles Lee Ray, also known as the 'Lakeshore Strangler' and, simply, 'Chucky,' was a Chicago serial killer gunned down in a toy store by Detective Mike Norris after his partner in crime, Eddie Caputo, abandoned him by driving off in their getaway car. A practitioner of black magic, the mortally wounded Ray transferred his soul to a 'Good Guy' doll and continued his reign of terror, though the violence he inflicted was now somewhat more... well, pint-sized. After raising all sorts of mayhem, Chucky attempts to transfer his soul to seven-year-old Andy Barclay, to whom he was "given" as a birthday present. Thus began Chucky's bizarre personal odyssey, trapped in the body of a doll and still finding time to kill, maim and make wisecracks over the course of 15+ years.
