"Child's Play" and SAC 368

I love Halloween, because it gives me an excuse to watch the really bad, bottom-of-the-barrel crud that I love so much (the Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th sequels, Sleepaway Camp, any given Rob Zombie movie). This year, SAC 368's questions of identity and cyborg culture has forced me to reconsider one of the most pee-pantsingly horrifying figures of my youth: Chucky from the Child's Play franchise. What I used to see as only the epitome of elementary school terror now looks a lot more interesting when I consider, is Chucky technically a cyborg?

We already know based on the premise alone that he's a human soul trapped within an advanced and expensive kids toy, but what's interesting is that he practically arcs from human to cyborg. When we first see the infamous strangler Charles Lee Ray (played and voiced by the excellent, underrated Brad Dourif), he's in human form and -- using some silly thunderstorm-conjuring magic -- transports his soul into a Good Guy Doll, which is later bought as a birthday present for a young boy by his mother. As his time within the doll body continues, based on some weird voodoo witchcraft rules and regulations, the body made of plastic, stuffing, and wiring takes on new human characteristics; he bleeds, he feels pain when a cigarette is put out on his melting plastic flesh, and his facial features become more than just mass-produced curves. Furthermore, in one of the film's more genuinely creepy moments, Andy's mother holds the Good Guy Doll box that Chucky came in upside down: two batteries fall out, even though he's been active for quite a while. He's essentially a human powering an electronic.

What do you guys think? Do you horror buffs concur, or WHAT?!
