Warning: SPOILERS for Chucky season 1, episode 7.
As the stage was set for a final showdown, Chucky episode 7, “Twice the Grieving, Double the Loss” nonetheless delivered on a whole host of Chucky Easter eggs and horror movie references. Following the especially devastating deaths in Chucky episode 6, the central teens reckoned with the fallout. As Devon (Björgvin Arnarson) struggled with now being an orphan, he broke up with Jake (Zackary Arthur). With Lexy (Alyvia Alyn Lind) also forced to take a step back from Chucky-hunting, the cure trio painfully went their separate ways — even briefly leading Jake to run away and leave town.
Meanwhile, Junior (Teo Briones) found himself as the latest to be approached by Chucky. Following his failures with Jake, Lexy, and Caroline (Carina Battrick), the killer doll pulled out all the stops to drag Junior to the dark side. Fortunately for Chucky, the grieving teen proved more susceptible, with Junior confirming the theory that he’d be Chucky’s new protege. As a result, the final part of Chucky’s grand scheme was finally put in motion just in time for the arrival of Andy Barclay (Alex Vincent) and going into the Chucky season 1 finale.
With the teen heroes’ efforts to stop the killer doll proving in vain, Chucky episode 6 featured two devastating kills. Equally, there were several nods to previous Child’s Play outings and other movie classics — both horror and otherwise. Here’s a breakdown of all the Chucky episode 7 Easter eggs and references that were packed into the “Twice the Grieving, Double the Loss.”
Past Victims
The title card of Chucky has changed with each episode, reflecting the installment’s themes or events. In Chucky episode 7, “Twice the Grieving, Double the Loss,” the letters of the killer doll’s name were comprised of headstones. Going a step further, each one was emblazoned with the name of a Chucky victim — not just from the show but also the Child’s Play movies. They included Sarah Pierce, Grace Poole, Eddie Caputo, and even Redman.
Child’s Play
Chucky episode 7’s flashbacks depicted young Charles Lee Ray (Fiona Dourif) and Tiffany Valentine (Blaise Crocker) settling in Chicago. As such, it brought things closer than ever to the events of the original Child’s Play movie, which was of course set in and around that city.
Apartment 237
As Chucky and Tiffany moved into their new Chicago apartment, it was revealed to be numbered 237. This was a clear nod to Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining — within which Room 237 was particularly infamous at the Overlook Hotel. The Shining was also among the Easter eggs in Chucky episode 4, “Just Let Go.”
Swedish Meatballs
Chucky episode 7 saw Tiffany (Jennifer Tilly) stir trouble around Hackensack as she repeatedly trolled its residents. In her efforts to make Junior think she’d been having an affair with his father, Logan (Devon Sawa), Tiffany dropped off a pot of Swedish meatballs. The dish has often been mentioned as Chucky’s favorite across the franchise.
Bound
As Tiffany toyed with Junior, the teen mentioned that he recognized her. Though he meant from his mother’s funeral, Tiffany assumed he knew her as Jennifer Tilly (whose body and life she stole). “Aren’t you a little young to have seen Bound?” The 1996 neo-noir has remained one of Tilly’s most prolific movies, having earned a cult following and served as the directorial debut of Lana and Lilly Wachowski.
Army of Chucky
The thrilling conclusion of Chucky episode 7 confirmed the theory that multiple killer dolls had been lurking in Hackensack. An army of Chucky dolls had originally been part of the plan for Child’s Play 3. Unfortunately, budget restraints meant it couldn’t come to fruition. Exactly 30 years later, however, creator Don Mancini (and longtime franchise fans) were finally able to see the dream realized on screen.
Frankenstein
In an effort to calm fears over the recent spate of murders and sinister accidents, Mayor Michelle Cross (Barbara Alyn Woods) announced a charity screening of the classic Frankenstein. It emphasized Don Mancini’s love of old-school horror movies. It also set the stage for the Chucky season 1 finale. After all, with the whole town expected to be there and an army of bloodthirsty Chucky dolls now awake, what could possibly go wrong?
“Talk to me!”
After deciding to run away, Jake intercepted a Good Guy doll en-route to Tiffany. As he tried to determine whether it was alive, he demanded, “Talk to me!” The line and moment was a direct callback to Jake doing similar in Chucky episode 1, as well as Karen Barclay’s (Catherine Hicks) iconic scene in the original Child’s Play movie.
The Exorcist
As a drunken Logan checked in on Junior, he interrupted his son in mid-conversation with Chucky. As Logan questioned what was going on, Chucky went into a full-on creepy mode, using the doll voice to antagonize him. In the process, following other earlier Chucky Easter eggs and references, the killer doll also executed a full-on homage. In order to face Logan, he turned his head all the way around without moving his body — much like the possessed Regan MacNeil (Linda Blair) did in The Exorcist.
Magic and Seed of Chucky
Another homage came as Junior finally gave in to his pain and rage and murdered his father. Using Chucky as a weapon, Junior bludgeoned Logan to death. The style of murder was the same as one utilized by Anthony Hopkins’ Corky in the 1978 movie Magic. There, the troubled magician and ventriloquist used his dummy to bash in his agent, Ben Greene (Burgess Meredith). Using the dolls as a murder weapon was also embraced by Tiffany when she killed the nanny of Glen/Glenda in Seed of Chucky.
Junior’s Song
After killing his father, Junior started singing the lyrics to “We Got The Beat” by The Go-Go’s, with Chucky rapidly joining in. The moment was a callback to Chucky episode 4, “Just Let Go,” which subtly established it as a comfort song to Junior when he nervously underwent a medical procedure. According to Don Mancini, Junior’s fondness for singing also stemmed from actor Teo Briones wanting to imbue the character with secret sides to himself that nobody before Chucky ever saw.
Patchwork Chucky
As Chucky was gleefully used as a weapon, his face was splashed with more and more blood. Though it wasn’t exactly the same, the patterns formed by the blood splatter distinctly evoked the scars sported by the popular Patchwork Chucky from Bride of Chucky to Curse of Chucky. With only one episode to go, the amount of Chucky Easter eggs and references will no doubt go through the roof (alongside the body count) as things draw to a brutal close.
