75 free Chucky trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
72 free Chucky trivia questions with answers. Chucky has been stalking toy aisles since 1988, and this quiz covers the whole franchise. Fifty questions run from the original Child's Play through Child's Play 2 and 3, Bride of Chucky and Seed of Chucky, the direct-to-video comeback in Curse and Cult, the 2019 remake with a very different doll, and the three-season Chucky TV series on Syfy and USA. Easy questions ask who voices Chucky and what the doll's brand is; the hard ones want the script's original title, the state where the military school scenes were shot, and who led the puppeteer team. It is written for horror fans who can quote the voodoo chant, not for kids, though the questions stick to plot, cast and production rather than gore. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia's articles on the films, the series and the characters, and each question carries the sentence that backs it up.
