serial k*ller from Hackensack.

Who?

Wow. Do you read anything
other than "Teen Vogue"?

Well, anyways,
Charles Lee Ray was a serial k*ller

who d*ed in the ' s.

I mean, He terrorized
Chicago for years. Prolific.

They call him the Lakeshore Strangler,

but he never really strangled anyone.

I mean, he was more of, like,
a mangler or a butcher...

Devon, the point.

Fine.

Do you know the website
Urban Legend: Fact or Fiction?

Do I look like a nerd?

Well, there's this urban
legend about Charles Lee Ray.

It's crazy, but who knows? Maybe not.

It's about a Good Guy doll.

- Like Chucky.
- Exactly.

You see, Charles Lee
Ray was sh*t and k*lled

in a toy store in Chicago,

but supposedly, right before he d*ed,

he transferred his soul
to a Good Guy doll,

and that doll is still out
there k*lling, supposedly.

It's not a legend.

You have to believe me. Chucky is alive.

- Come on.
- No, no.

I know it sounds crazy, but...

it's not just alive.

He is trying to k*ll us.
