Why do nice guys always get last place?

Reference: toy “Barbie“, toy “Mr. Potato Head“, and movie “Child’s Play“

There are lots of horror movies out there, but none of them scared me like Child’s Play. Of course, I was just a kid and was easily startled by all horror movies (even Michael Jackon’s Thriller scared me). BUT, did you see how Chucky slaughtered those people in the movie? Wow, man… Anyways, aside from it being, in my opinion, one of the scariest movies ever made, it was also famous for the Chucky voodoo spell. …how did it go again?

According to the subtitles of the Child’s Play 2 DVD, the chant goes like:

Ade Due Damballa. Give me the power, I beg of you.
Leveau mercier du bois chaloitte.
Secoise entienne mais pois de morte.
Morteisma lieu de vocuier de mieu vochette.
Endelieu pour du boisette damballa (x3)

This is different from the original Chucky chant which comes in different verions:

Version 1:
Ade due damballa. Give me the power I beg of you.
Secoise entienne mais pois de morte.
Morteisma lieu de vocuier de mieu vochette.
Endonline pour de boisette damballa!
Secoise entienne mais pois de morte.
Endelieu pour de boisette damballa! (x4)

Version 2:
Ade due damballa. Valinchella santeria. Oya shungo yenya macumba.
Give me the power, I beg of you.
Leveau mercier du bois chio.
Secoise entienne mais pois de morte.
Morteisme lieu de vocuier de mieu vochette.
Endelieu pour de boisette damballa! (x3)

Devoted fans believe the chant roughly translates as;

To the almighty Damballa, give me the power I beg of you!
To the mercy of my soul.
To the point of my death.
Hear me out of from my condemned voice.

*no proper reference to confirm this translation

The chant may appear French at a glance, but it’s not proper French. It appears to be closer to Haitian Creole which is losely based off of French but has been subject to and modified by other languages. Further evidence that points to its Haitian origins is the use of “Damballa,” a reference to Haitian Voodoo religion. Damballa is a snake-god and lives in the trees near springs and hence is also known as the Draper of Wood. However, all of these claims are based on speculation. Nobody knows the true translation or the meaning of Chucky’s chant. It could just be gibberish.

Here’s the voodoo spell in action. Check out this video clip from the opening scene of the Child’s Play:
