Child's Play 3 (also known as Child's Play 3: Look Who's Stalking) is a 1991 horror film. It is the third installment in the Child's Play series with Brad Dourif returning as the voice of Chucky. The film became notorious in the United Kingdom, when it was suggested that it may have inspired the real-life murder of toddler James Bulger, a suggestion rejected by officers investigating the case.[1]

[edit] Plot summary
Several years after the events of Child's Play 2, Chucky tracks Andy down to a military school where his killing spree continues.
[edit] Reception
Released less than a year after Part 2, the movie performed poorly at the box office, grossing only $20.5 million worldwide. Mainstream critics panned the movie, and horror fans usually regard it as the worst of the series, a sentiment shared by series creator Don Mancini. Due to these factors, there would be a waiting time of seven years before the next, more successful entry.

- In 1993, when Child's Play 3 was hitting the shelves on video, the movie was withdrawn from some shops in Ireland and the UK, since the third installment of the franchise was thought to be the inspiration for the Murder of James Bulger.
- A prologue to the film was initially written featuring a pair of siblings, Joey and Pam, who break into the abandoned Good Guy Factory. In the script Pam finds Chucky's remains and part of his head "snaps viperously at her fingertips". She falls backwards onto a lever, activating the machine. The two children scamper off. Jason Ritter (son of actor John Ritter who would later appear in Bride of Chucky) was initially cast to play the character of Joey. At the last minute Universal opted not to film the prologue.
- The movie was filmed at historic Kemper Military School (now closed). Students and instructors of which were seen as extras in the film and also served as advisers.
