The Curse of Huckt Alkce is a mysterious and ancient curse that is said to bring misfortune and despair to those who encounter it. It is believed to have originated in a small village named Huckt Alkce, which has since been lost to time. According to legend, the curse was unleashed upon the village by a group of witches who sought vengeance for the persecution they had faced. It is said that the witches performed a dark ritual that called upon dark forces and unleashed a powerful curse upon the village and its inhabitants. The curse is said to bring about various forms of misfortune, including sickness, death, and even madness. Those who are afflicted by the curse are said to suffer from a series of increasingly difficult and dangerous events.
After two patients are found dead, Dr. Foley administers a drug and hypnotizes Nica to get her to admit to the killings. However, during the session he is knocked unconscious by Chucky, who attempts to then coax Nica into killing Dr. Foley. Before she can act she falls into a deep sleep, dreaming that she is crawling along the institution's floor. She stops to look up and see Alice, wearing red shoes. Alice tells her that "we've been waiting for you", and disappears as Chucky approaches.
When we meet Alice Pierce in Curse of Chucky , directed by Don Mancini and the sixth installment of the Child s Play franchise, she s a little girl who accompanies her parents, Ian and Barb, as they visit her aunt Nica Fiona Dourif following the supposed suicide of Sarah, Alice s grandmother, and the mother of Nica and Barb. Alice is Chucky s 39th victim since Child s Play , and is the first person to have been possessed by Chucky since his transfer into the original doll, nearly 30 years prior.
Those who are afflicted by the curse are said to suffer from a series of increasingly difficult and dangerous events. The curse is believed to be passed down through generations, affecting not only the initial victims but also their descendants. It is said to follow them wherever they go, bringing pain and suffering to all those who cross their path.
Summer H. Howell: Alice
Alice : [praying] Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take. God bless Jill, Grandma, and especially Auntie Nica. Amen. Barb : What about Chucky? Alice : Chucky says there is no God. Barb : What? Alice : He said life's a bitch and then you die bleeding like a stuck pig! Barb : Alice! You know it's not nice to curse! Alice : I didn't curse mommy, Chucky did. [looks over at Chucky, then back at Barb] Alice : Mommy, am I going to die? Barb : No sweetie, no! Alice : But Grandma died, and Chucky says we're all going to die. Barb : Alice, who really told you that? Was it Jill? Alice : No. Barb : Was it your daddy? Alice : No, it was Chucky.
Alice : Chucky, I'm scared! Chucky : [laughs] You fucking should be!Alice : Chucky, you found me! Chucky : I told you I would. Alice : Where's Grandma? Chucky : In the cellar. Alice : What's she doing down there? Chucky : Nothin'. Alice : Chucky, Mommy and Daddy are dead. Aunty Nica killed them. Chucky : But I'm your friend to the end, Alice. And now it's time to play! Alice : Hide-And-Seek? Chucky : Hide-The-Soul. And guess what? You're it! Alice : Why do I always have to be it? Chucky : Because you're somebody that no one would ever suspect. Now, close your eyes.
Alice : They'll never find me in here, Chucky! This is the best hiding place ever. Chucky : JUST KEEP YOUR FUCKING MOUTH SHUT!
Chucky : Will you just keep your fucking voice down? Alice : Chucky, stop cursing!Barb : [talking about the Chucky doll being sent to the house] It was obviously sent here by mistake; it must belong to someone else. And Alice, you already have too many dolls as it is. Alice : Yeah, but, Chucky's my friend till the end! Ian : Well I for one think it's a real nice gesture. [pause] Ian : Thank you, Auntie Nica! [off Barb's look] Ian : It's a doll. What's the worst that can happen, huh? Chucky : [In his Good Guy voice] I like to be hugged! Alice : I love to hug you too, Chucky! [as she hugs him tightly to her, Chucky's eyes eerily start to grow wide] Alice : [looks confused] What's that, Chucky? [has the doll pressed against her ear, as if listening to what he's saying] Alice : Oh, Chucky wants to know what's for dinner!
Alice : [after eating the chili] Hmm. Hmmmm. Nica : Alice, honey, is something wrong? Alice : It tastes funny! [pause] Alice : Maybe we put too much oregano in. Barb : [laughs] Alice, sweetheart, it's not that bad. [pause] Barb : Eat it!
Later in the night, Alice cannot find Chucky and the family splits up to look for the doll. Nica finds him and proceeds up the elevator to Barb and Alice. She asks her aunt to read her a bed time story; however, her mother dismisses the question and takes her to bed. After they pray, Alice mentions that Chucky told her there is no god, and that they are all going to die. Barb does not believe that the doll speaks, and tucks her into bed. Alice is scared of the thunderstorm outside and wants to sleep with her mother, but Barb reassures her that Jill will be coming soon. After Barb leaves, she hides under the covers, telling Chucky that she is scared. This causes him to spring to life with laughter, telling her "you fucking should be".
