Perhaps more nightmare-worthy than clowns taking over, this past Monday the city was infiltrated by Chucky dolls! The terrifying Child's Play character multiplied and terrorized tourists and locals alike, all in celebration of the movie's 20th anniversary DVD release. His antics seemed to be centered around Times Square (hopefully far away from the Toys Я Us). Did you see any of these tiny terrors around? Looks like he even made it to Fashion Week, albeit wearing that same, tired old pair of overalls. So 1988. [via /Film]
