Brad Dourif

It’s our annual horror spectacular, and this year the Munsons are joined by Stephanie Malone of the Morbidly Beautiful podcast to celebrate the chilling brilliance of Brad Dourif. From his legendary voice work as Chucky to a career packed with unforgettable roles across mainstream Hollywood and various horror franchises, Dourif has carved a place in cinematic nightmare history. We debate our favorite (and least favorite) Child’s Play entries, dive into his uncanny ability to channel raw emotion into villains like his roles in Mississippi Burning and Chucky , and explore how even his “non-horror” films often circle back to real-life terror. Along the way, we unpack his fascinating backstory—his learning disability that ironically led to a stint as a college instructor, his early inspiration from his actress mother, and his royal treatment of his cats, Snapdragon and Honey Mustard. Stephanie helps us dissect Rob Zombie’s polarizing take on the Halloween franchise, while the Munsons celebrate a career that’s equal parts brilliant, bizarre, and blood-soaked. We close with a nod to Dourif’s well-earned retirement: a horror legend content to hang with his cats, enjoy life as Chucky , and share the screen with his daughter. How does he rank on the Munson Meter? Listen to find out.

In this episode, Oscar Nominee and Golden Globe Winner Brad Dourif describes a bland culinary childhood diet until a wonderful cook joined his family and describes the southern cooking at his boarding school. Moving to NYC, he lived on fast food, became a movie actor (and the voice of Chucky!) and has, thanks to his actress daughter, moved on to cooking and eating a splendidly healthy diet. A fascinating conversation with this multitalented actor.
