Today in Horror History

March 18, 1950
On this day in Horror History, Brad Dourif was born. A face and voice that has inexplicably found its way into the core of horror’s greatest franchises, Dourifs most notable is that of his role as Chucky the homicidal doll. Star of countless genre films and popular televisions shows, Brad Dourif’s humble beginnings as the boy from West Virginia who lost his dad at age three, has become one of the most definitive cult actors of a generation. With just a chuckle, he can take us back to the moment when the possessed doll invaded our nightmares.

“There is nothing wrong with horror films. Their existence has definitely had an impact on me. It is important to have scary demons in our world on film. We have them in the world. That is why we are afraid, it is nice to have a visual and to have a confrontation with it.” –Brad Dourif
