Man Dressed As Chucky Pranking People On NYC Subway Goes Viral

A man dressed as Chucky from the Child’s Play horror films has been pranking people on the New York subway. The prank videos show a little person dressed as Chucky, seemingly attacking a woman on the subway in a struggle to steal her purse. One of the most popular videos shows “Chucky” trying to chase down the woman after she fights him off, only to be horse-collared by a different pedestrian who rips the horror-themed mask and wig off the “attacker’s” face.

The Chucky robbery video has sparked the sort of social discussion the pranksters probably hoped for: As you can see below, people’s comments range from asking what the hell is wrong with NYC transit, to why other riders were willing to standby and just watch (or record) the frightening scene playing out.

WTF NYC?!?!?!

This is one very good reason why this city never sleeps. There are nightmares stalking the streets! 

‘No One Helped’

This prank may be funny, but it also reveals something horrifyingly real: the coldness of human indifference. 

There Are Heroes In NYC

Let’s not ignore the fact that one brave citizen took a stand against the monster. NYC isn’t as heartless as people make it seem. 

Chucky ALWAYS Wildin

He’s always got to be the center of attention. Oh, Chucky… 

How It Should Have Ended

I mean we love the Chucky franchise and all, but in a real-world setting this is the only way it could end, right? 

I Keep That Thang On Me

On second thought, this is NYC 2021: Getting your wig snatched is the BEST case scenario for how it could end for Chucky in these streets… 

Amateur Hour

This a true fan who makes a great point: the real Chucky would’ve waited for the right moment to get his victim. That doll act is everything. 

That’s The Next Movie

Okay, so now Child’s Play creator Don Mancini almost has to make a “Chucky Takes Manhattan” movie. It would a great ode to the Friday the 13th franchise with a hint of Joker, and a nice Easter egg ode to this viral video. Let’s make it happen!

The Child’s Play film franchise was rebooted in 2019. The Chucky series from Don Mancini continues on home video, with a Chucky TV series in production at SyFy.
