Unbeknownst to Karen, the doll has been infused with the soul of Charles Lee Ray (played by Brad Dourif), a notorious serial killer who used a voodoo ritual to transfer his soul into the doll in an attempt to escape death.
As Andy begins to play with Chucky, strange and violent occurrences start to unfold.

He seeks to transfer his soul into Andyβs body to regain a human form, leading to a series of chilling and violent confrontations.
