On September 11, members of the public in Monclava, a city in the northern state of Coahuila, were terrorised by a Chucky doll. The owner of the life-sized puppet, Carlos N, was wielding a large knife and demanding money from locals. The police were called and Carlos and the Chucky doll were apprehended in the main square of the city.
In a bizarre move, the officers then proceeded to formally arrest the doll itself, at the behest of the local media. Not wanting to miss out on such an opportunity, they handcuffed both Carlos and the doll, and took them to the local precinct. Footage from processing shows the orange-haired doll being held up against the wall by one of the officers, the large knife still protruding from its overalls.
It’s not the first time a Chucky doll has been used to give members of the public a scare. In 2013, a prank was staged to publicise the then-upcoming direct-to-video release of the Curse of Chucky film. Footage shows unsuspecting members of the public waiting for a bus at a station in Brazil before an actor, dressed as the horror movie doll, jumps out from behind a poster promoting the movie. Armed with a fake knife, the prankster then chases his victims, which at one point included young children, down the street.
Local reports state that the officer who placed the doll in handcuffs was later reprimanded for not taking their job seriously. It is yet another cautionary tale of the dangers of getting too comfortable around horror-film dolls.
