1. 'Devilish Doll' (1988)
What it's about: Classic for horror lovers in which the director-actor duo (Tom Holland and Chris Sarandon) from the legendary 'Fright Night' reunites. On this occasion, the protagonist is little Andy, who is given a doll of a child whom he baptizes Chucky.
The problem is that Chucky has been the victim of a voodoo rite and carries within him the spirit of a serial killer - if you like this topic, don't miss the Netflix documentary 'Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer '-, so he will not hesitate to kill people to transfer that soul to a human.
The real story: There is no data that the following story actually happened, but the film is inspired by the legend of Otto, a boy who received a gift from his maid, a practitioner of black magic, a doll he called Robert. Apparently, since then, the boy began to talk to himself and the strangest things began to happen in the house. Otto even claimed that the doll was alive and the neighbors even saw Robert looking out the window. The parents locked the doll in the attic and, as an adult, Otto returned for it and supernatural things happened again. After Otto died, Robert came into the hands of another girl and it seems that... he tried to murder her.
