Biography[]
Child's Play 2 (1990):[]
Phil and his wife Joanne are asked to take in Andy, by the suggestion of his social worker Grace. She came to them, hoping they could provide Andy with a normal home. While Joanne was eager, Phil is skeptical after Grace explains his past. He begins to wonder if they are even equipped to care for a child with his problems. Though still skeptical, he gives in to his wife, and they take Andy home.
Unknown to the family, Chucky had been resurrected, and eventually made his way to the Simpsons house. During which, he destroys the old Good Guy doll Tommy with one of Joanne's antiques. Phil is furious when he discovers the antique broken, but Andy and Kyle both deny breaking it. With no proof and unable to know who's lying, Phil puts both of them under punishment to do the laundry. While they were gone, Phil confides in his wife that Andy's fear of Good Guy dolls is proof that they cannot take care of him.
Phil takes him to the basement to prove the doll is not alive and surprisingly, Chucky made it back in time. Once again bringing up Andy's sanity with Joanne, they argue about keeping Andy.
In the middle of the night, Phil hears a noise coming from the basement. He goes down to see Andy holding an electric knife. Andy tries to warn him before he can walk down the steps to comfort him, but Chucky trips him with a crowbar and leaves him dangling on the edge of the stairs upside down. Phil's last sight is seeing Chucky alive, and then he is dropped. The resulting fall breaks his neck, and kills him. After seeing Chucky alive, Phil realizes Andy was telling the truth and regretted for not believing him and being harsh on him. Joanne and Kyle find him dead, Kyle contacts 911 and Joanne, feeling completely lost by Phil's death, sends Andy back to Grace after she accused him for killing Phil, which he didn't.
