TedStixon

Season 1 generally

Trivia: Cooper/The Ghoul makes a comment about being "sidetracked by bullshit every goddamn time" at one point during the first season. This is a reference to the video games, which feature dozens and dozens of side-quests that players can complete, and often can distract the player from the main narrative.

Trivia: Kathleen Turner almost didn't take the lead role because she finds gory movies too disturbing. At first she said she would only be in the film if the violence was portrayed cartoonishly and unrealistically. Director John Waters convinced her that the violence needed to be portrayed very realistically, because that would be even funnier... the absurdity of so much twisted violence coming out of a seemingly perfect sitcom-style housewife. Turner eventually agreed with Waters and signed on.

Trivia: Director John Waters considers this the best film (and his personal favorite) that he's ever made.

Trivia: The cover art appears to incorrectly show Max as a "cyborg" dog with a Terminator-like inner skeleton. However, the film explains that he's simply a genetically engineered dog with extra abilities, and thus not robotic in any way.

TedStixon

Trivia: When Max is chasing the cat, the scene was accomplished by training the cat and dog together so they'd be comfortable. The cat was being trained to run towards a toy, while the dog was trained to run towards a trainer making hand signals a short distance away from the cat-toy. If you pay very close attention, there's actually one point in the scene where you can tell that they're running in ever-so-slightly different directions.

The Beginning - S1-E8

Trivia: Two characters say the line "War... war never changes." This is an iconic line from the video game series.

The Beginning - S1-E8

Trivia: The code that Hank enters ("101097") is a reference to the original "Fallout" video game, which was released on October 10th (10/10) in the year 1997 (97).

Season 4 generally

Trivia: Creator Dan Harmon was fired during season four and rehired for season five. Harmon attracted some controversy when he finally watched season four and made several vulgar jokes about it, as he felt it was like an "unflattering impression." He later apologized and stated that he had a lot of respect for the writers and season four showrunners for trying their hardest to replicate his work and keep the show alive, and said he thought many of the jokes and the Rachel character were great.

TedStixon

Trivia: Chad Stahelski was a close friend of Brandon Lee and was working as his stunt-double on the film. After Lee tragically died, Stahelski served as his body double for unfinished scenes. Stahelski later became famous as a film director, helming all four "John Wick" films. Due to Lee's death, he is reportedly incredibly strict on his sets when it comes to firearms safety.

TedStixon

Trivia: In an attempt to manipulate the MPAA into giving the movie an R-rating, Wes Craven sent them a copy of the film that was far more violent than he actually wanted the movie to be. His idea was that when they demanded cuts so it wouldn't be NC-17, he could submit his actual director's cut with less violence, and they'd likely accept it. To his horror and amusement, they gave the far more violent version an R-rating. Regardless, he still released his less violent cut of the film in theaters.

TedStixon

Trivia: Carol Anne's name is said 121 times over the course of the film. The movie is 98 minutes long (including credits), meaning it is said 1.2 times per minute.

TedStixon

Trivia: The celebrity address app lists several famous fictional characters, including Jack Torrance from "The Shining" and Tyler Durden from "Fight Club."

TedStixon

Trivia: The working title for the film was "Ghostbusters: Firehouse" before the actual title was revealed.

Goin' to the Chapel - S2-E7

Trivia: With this episode, Nica became the first character who isn't part of Chucky's family to do the infamous voodoo chant. Previously, only Chucky, his lover/bride Tiffany, and child Glen/Glenda had done it over the franchises 30+ year history.

Chucky Actually - S2-E8

Trivia: The combination on Dr. Mixter's safe is "110988." November 9th, 1988 (or "11/09/88") was the release date of the original "Child's Play."

TedStixon

Trivia: Many of the inanimate Chucky's seen in the final few episodes, and one of the Chucky's that gets killed, are actually just slightly redressed commercially-available Chucky dolls from Trick or Treat studios. They were released as collectibles for fans, but are so high-quality that they were able to be used in the show.

TedStixon

Season 2 generally

Trivia: Lachlan Watson, the nonbinary actor who plays Glen and Glenda, wanted to approach the characters in a unique way. Rather than making them traditionally male or female, they made both characters nonbinary and not limited by gender norms. Watson eventually figured out how to describe them by likening them to rock music, with Glenda being "glam" and Glen being "grunge." The crew got excited about this, because they suddenly weren't limited by traditional gender expectations and could experiment.

TedStixon

Season 2 generally

Trivia: The human versions of Glen and Glenda are both played by Lachlan Watson, a non-binary actor. For scenes where both Glen and Glenda were present, Watson would perform the scene as Glenda with the other actors, then go back and reshoot the entire scene as Glen by themself, so that Glen could be digitally added to the original footage.

Season 1 generally

Trivia: When we see Chucky in human form as an adult, he's being portrayed by Fiona Dourif, daughter of Chucky actor Brad Dourif. Brad then redubbed her lines. Everyone always remarks how much Fiona resembles Brad when he was younger, which gave them the idea to have her play him in human form. She just had to have her nose and chin slightly enlarged with prosthetics to make her look more masculine. She was both amused... and also deeply disturbed by seeing her father's face in her reflection.

TedStixon

Season 2 generally

Trivia: The chapel where some of the scenes were filmed was allowed access by the production because, oddly enough, the local pastor who preached there was a huge fan of the "Chucky" franchise and especially the first season.
