🎬 VHS Vault: Child’s Play (1988)

 “Hi, I’m Chucky. Wanna play?”

Vault Notes:
A quiet rental-store staple that hid pure evil in a doll’s grin. You’d pick up Child’s Play for the creepy nightmares provided by a pint‑sized killer. 

That cheerful “Good Guys” doll on the shelf hid something far more sinister. With its bright packaging and friendly grin, Child’s Play became the go‑to late‑night rental when you wanted your childhood nightmares in living color. Every flicker, pop, and tape hiss feels like a dare: Are you brave enough to let this doll into your home?
