Jenna Ortega, who stars on WednesdayNetflix, says one horror movie gave her recurring nightmares: 'I think the first scary movie I watched, or at least saw part of before I ran away in fear was Child’s Play, I wanna say.'
Wednesday star Jenna Ortega says Child's Play used to give her nightmares. The actor debuted on Netflix as Wednesday Addams on November 23, taking up the mantle of the titular character in the latest Addams Family adaptation. Wednesday, which features a more modern take on a teenage version of the Addams daughter as she transfers to boarding school, is the latest gothic installment in scream queen Ortega's catalog.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Given her long history with the horror genre, it would be easy to assume that Ortega shares her character Wednesday's interest in all things spooky. However, while appearing in a video for ELLE, Ortega states the opposite, revealing her terrified reaction to the first horror movie she saw, Child's Play.
“I think the first scary movie I watched, or at least saw part of before I ran away in fear was Child’s Play, I wanna say. My older siblings and my Tio were watching and I asked if I could watch the movie with them ‘cause I loved movies, and they said ‘no, you’re gonna be too scared.’ They sent me to my room and I remember peeking around the corner of my hallway to watch the film and I literally only saw his hand.
One scene in Wednesday reveals that as a young girl, the eponymous character kept a scorpion as a pet, which indicates that she didn't develop her morbid interests as a teen. As such, a young Wednesday would have been unaffected by the scene that frightened Ortega so deeply.
Another ironic tidbit in Ortega's account is the mention that her recurring nightmares centered on a hand - presumably, Chucky's unsettling doll hands. While Ortega had nightmares for years about a hand, Wednesday grew up with the severed and scarred hand Thing Addams as a family pet.
