All about Childs Play movie and Chucky doll: Writer Don Mancini conceived of the script for his killer doll movie Child’s Play as a satire about toy marketing and merchandising for children, but the idea developed into a horror film. In the creepy 1988 movie, a serial killer uses voodoo rituals to transfer his soul into a doll and possesses a child’s toy. The idea for this twist was apparently inspired by a real-life voodoo vendetta that a Jamaican nurse inflicted upon Key West painter and author Robert Eugene Otto. She gave Robert the Doll to Otto in 1904, but eventually turned against her employer and cursed it. The writer would apparently talk to the doll when he was a child. Otto’s family would find things missing or moved in his room, and heard him screaming at night. After Otto passed away, the doll was left behind and wound up with the new homeowners who also experienced similar attacks, claiming the doll could move and was trying to kill them. Robert now has his own website, has appeared on the travel channel, and is displayed in a museum where he’s a featured stop on a ghost tour.
