Warning: SPOILERS for the Chucky season 1 finale.

The Chucky season 1 finale offers a brutal conclusion to the nightmare plaguing Hackensack, New Jersey, but doesn’t forget to pile on more Easter eggs and references. After 7 episodes of thrilling build-up, heroes Jake Wheeler (Zackary Arthur), Lexy Cross (Alyvia Alyn Lind), Andy Barclay (Alex Vincent), and Kyle (Christine Elise McCarthy) seek to defeat the various amassed villains and rescue the captive Devon (Björgvin Arnarson). Unfortunately, not everything goes to plan, with one franchise fan favorite seemingly meeting a fiery fate and another ending up in villainous clutches themselves.

Following his turn to the dark side, Junior Wheeler (Teo Briones) joins Chucky and such allies as Tiffany (Jennifer Tilly) and Nica-Chucky (Fiona Dourif) in unleashing the doll army on America. Equally, Junior and Chucky oversee a movie theater massacre that racks up casualties on both sides. Throughout the surprising twists and blood-soaked chaos, the Chucky season 1 finale followed up on the Easter eggs and references in Chucky episode 7.

For starters, the title of Chucky episode 8, “An Affair to Dismember,” is an amusingly twisted riff on the 1957 romance classic An Affair to Remember. It also may or may not have foreshadowed a particularly harrowing fate that befalls one of the main Chucky characters. Whatever the case on that front, there are equally several nods to previous Child’s Play outings and other horror movies — both classic and cult favorites. Here’s a breakdown of all the Easter eggs and references that are packed into the Chucky season 1 finale.

Bride of Chucky’s Bathtub Easter Egg

After arriving in Hackensack, Andy Barclay searches the Wheeler house for Chucky. He even checks beneath the bubbles of a bath. The moment is potentially a nod to the time Chucky struck and killed human Tiffany via electrocution. He did so while she enjoyed a bubble bath of her own as Child’s Play’s titular Bride of Chucky.

Chucky’s Ghoulies Reference

After Andy finds no trace and leaves, Chucky reveals to new murderous protege Junior that he’d been hiding in the toilet. Prior to climbing all the way out, the killer doll echoes one of the titular creatures from Luca Bercovici’s 1985 comedy-horror Ghoulies.

Chucky’s Past Deaths

When Junior asks Chucky why he didn’t simply kill Andy, the red-headed fiend remarks that he’d had a gun. “I hate guns,” he elaborates. “They are like my Achilles Heel… along with axes, fire, and industrial-sized fans.” As longtime Child’s Play viewers will recognize, each was a Chucky finale Easter egg that correlated to an actual defeat — with the ax used in Seed of Chucky and the giant fan being a part of the worst Chucky movie: Child’s Play 3.

Chucky’s The Shining Easter Egg

After possessing the previously harmless Billy doll, Chucky cheerfully stalks Jake and Lexy. As he cuts his way through a curtain, he musically says, “Here’s Chucky!” The moment was obviously a Chucky episode 8 Easter egg to The Shining — allowing the killer doll to say the line he couldn’t think of after breaking through a door in Seed of Chucky.

Tiffany “Sweet Face” Reference

After being reunited with the Chucky doll, the human Tiffany greets him with a tickle session and a kiss. In the process, she refers to him as “sweet face.” That is, of course, her common pet name for people – especially those she loves.

Chucky’s Prince Reference

As Chucky riles up his doll army and human allies for the arrival of “the good guys,” he remarks that they are going to “party like it’s 1999.” The line is a popular phrase that originated from a classic 1982 Prince song. The inevitably ill-fated Chucky protege, Junior, shows his youth, however, by having no idea what the saying even means.

Chucky’s Original Child’s Play Easter Egg

During a catch-up, doll Chucky and Nica-Chucky move onto the subject of Andy Barclay. As they do, doll Chucky quips, “You should have seen his face when I killed his babysitter.” The line was a Chucky finale Easter egg to the original Child’s Play movie and Chucky’s first kill as a doll — when he sent Maggie Peterson (Dinah Manoff) plummeting from a window.

Detective Mike Norris

After decapitating doll Chucky to protect Nica, Tiffany taunts him with the revelation that she’d betrayed him to the police in 1988. A flashback then showed Young Tiff (Blaise Crocker) directly name-dropping Mike Norris. He was the detective played by Chris Sarandon that originally killed Charles Lee Ray (brilliantly played by Fiona Dourif on Chucky). Mike Norris was also one of Child’s Play’s surviving heroes and one that viewers want to return.

Chucky’s Glenda Reference

Back in the present, Tiffany offers a second long-awaited name drop. As she shows Junior a bomb she plans to use against Andy Barclay, she states that it had been given to her by “my darling Glenda.” Chucky and Tiffany’s genderfluid offspring hasn’t been seen or mentioned by name since 2004’s Seed of Chucky.

Chucky’s Re-Animator Horror Reference

Despite being decapitated, Chucky was still able to talk and command his body — which he orders to kill Devon. It was no doubt a Chucky episode 8 Easter egg to cult horror movie Re-Animator, which saw a separated head and body also horrifically target people.

Chucky’s Frankenstein Easter Egg

Things in the Chucky season 1 finale come to a brutal ending at a charity screening of Frankenstein. As well as sharing a studio with Chucky via Universal, it’s one of Don Mancini’s favorite movies. Like Bride of Frankenstein did during Bride of Chucky, the classic horror serves as a backdrop to several pivotal scenes in Chucky episode 8.

Chucky Knifes People Through Seats

Midway through the movie, Chucky breaks away from Caroline (Carina Battrick) and proceeds to begin slaughtering those in attendance. To do so, he attacks from beneath, driving his knife up through people’s seats. This isn’t the first time he used such methods. As far back as the original Child’s Play movie, he tries to stab the aforementioned Mike Norris from beneath his car seat. As such, it is yet another Chucky finale Easter egg — and proved much more successful this time around.

Chucky’s Teddy Ruxpin Doll Reference

After Jake is able to disarm Chucky, he remarks that the killer is nothing more than a “Teddy Ruxpin without his knife.” Like Chucky’s Good Guy form, Teddy Ruxpin is an animatronic children’s toy that peaked in popularity during the mid-1980s.

Tiffany Doll Returns

Another long-awaited return is that of the Tiffany doll. Though teased in Cult of Chucky, she didn’t make an appearance until Chucky episode 8. After Andy seizes control of the truck carrying the army of Chucky dolls, Tiffany seizes it right back. Making an amusing first meeting between them, the Tiffany doll takes Andy hostage at gunpoint. As a result, the moment serves as one of several cliffhangers offered by the ending of the Chucky season 1 finale.

Chucky’s Horrific Boxing Helena Reference

Another of Chucky season 1’s cliffhangers involves the human Tiffany taking a hostage of her own. Having developed a twisted love for Cult of Chucky’s Nica Pierce, Tiffany sought to keep her around while also diminishing the threat posed by Chucky taking control of her body again. To that end, Tiffany had Nica’s arms and legs surgically removed. This is also a Chucky episode 8 Easter egg to the movie Boxing Helena, which sees surgeon Nick Cavanaugh (Julian Sands) equally amputate the limbs of a woman he’s obsessed with, the titular Helena (Sherilyn Fenn).

Chucky’s Dead Meat YouTube Easter Egg

The Chucky season 1 finale wraps up in a brilliantly meta way, with the killer doll engaging in a fourth-wall-breaking fireside chat with the audience. As he does so, Chucky goes back over his varying kills, tallying them up to a grand total of 21. Many have taken this to be a Chucky season 1 finale Easter egg to the popular Youtube channel Dead Meat, which specializes in horror and is famous for its kill count videos.
