Clowns might spook some, but dolls like Chucky from Child’s Play and Annabelle from The Conjuring franchise have a special knack for sending chills down our spines. With these two pint-sized terrors in mind, could a movie bringing them together be on the horizon?
Horror aficionados have been buzzing ever since the delightfully absurd crossover romp Freddy vs. Jason hit screens back in 2003. It was a wild ride that pitted two iconic horror villains against each other, sparking hopes and dreams of more showdowns between our favorite baddies. So, naturally, the question arises: could we see a showdown between Chucky and Annabelle?
Will there be a Chucky vs. Annabelle movie?
As of now, there’s no official Chucky vs. Annabelle movie in the works, but horror fans can’t help but fantasize about what would happen if these creepy dolls faced off on screen. Discussions about who would emerge victorious in a showdown between Chucky from Child’s Play and Annabelle from The Conjuring have become a staple on horror forums and social media. The desire for such a crossover has only grown, especially with the curiosity about whether Annabelle and the M3GAN doll from Blumhouse could ever clash.
@FilmsAmaray even shared a fan-made poster, fueling fans’ imaginations about what a potential Chucky vs. Annabelle film might look like, although it remains purely speculative.
Back in 2014, Don Mancini, the creator of Child’s Play, expressed enthusiasm for the idea of a Chucky vs. Annabelle film in an interview with USA Today. However, he acknowledged the logistical hurdles, noting that both characters belong to different studios, which could complicate any collaboration.
Jason Blum, known for his work in horror with Blumhouse Productions, has also expressed interest in this crossover. In 2022, he mentioned to Entertainment Tonight that James Wan, a prominent figure in horror filmmaking, had entertained the idea of a movie featuring Annabelle, Chucky, and M3GAN, likening them to a horror version of the Justice League.
When it comes to speculation about who would triumph in a battle between Chucky and Annabelle, opinions vary among those involved in their creation. Seth Grahame-Smith, a producer on Child’s Play, believes Chucky would come out on top, while writer/director Gary Dauberman, associated with The Conjuring universe, argues that Annabelle’s ability to manipulate others would give her the edge.
Until the day a Chucky vs. Annabelle movie materializes (if ever), fans will continue eagerly anticipating the potential clash of these infamous dolls. In the meantime, they’ll try not to dwell too much on the unsettling reality that an actual Annabelle doll exists out there somewhere.
