The Chucky movies have always had great musical scores, and in the cases of Bride and Seed, great soundtracks. Which one is your favorite? Mine is Bride Of Chucky.

Before we get in too much detail, you should consider picking a different word other than "score" because Bride is more of a soundtrack as it features music from other artists, whereas an actual "score" is music written specifically for a movie, so really only CP1-3, and Curse could really be considered an actual "score". Bride and Seed had a soundtrack more or less. I'd say "music" is a better word if you actually want to include every movie.
So in terms of music overall, for a horror movie, I take a solid, dark, ominous score any day over actual commercialized music. Not that I don't like the music featured in Bride, because I definitely dig some Rob Zombie, but I just prefer a musical score over songs from various artists.

I really like Seeds main theme as it has that toy like creepy vibe, and Curse also had a really good theme. CP1 is scary, and CP3 is intense... Bride's main theme is a little too undertoned but it worked....
My vote went to CP2. Even thought I find other themes to be superior in tone and melody, CP2 is more recognizable and the only piece of music to be in more then one Chucky film.

The CP2 score is very good, especially the music that plays when Chucky kills Mrs. Kettlewell. It gives off a very creepy vibe.

I love me some Rob Zombie so if I have to choose between Bride and Seed, Bride of Chucky takes the cake in soundtracks.
But, I do have to say Child's Play's main theme gets me every single time. I always sing it in my head as soon as it starts playing.

I loved the Curse of Chucky score, it's creepy and fun at the same time, it really suits Chucky.

I have to admit... I find myself doing the crescendoing drum beats in my head that lead up to the Curse title in the movie.
It was a good score. Maybe they'll use it again in the next movie. If there was one thing Chucky didn't have compared to other slasher was either a consistent tone or theme music. Reprising the Curse theme will cement it.
This is why my vote went to the CP2 theme because it was the only one that came close to being a theme.

Curse's score is a close second favorite for me. It's almost like it encompassed the previous scores, mixed in with its own flavor. I think it would be great for Chucky to have some type of theme song. Not necessarily a "Ki-Ki-Ma-Ma" type thing like for Jason Voorhees, but like The Doctor said, a consistent tone or theme music.

Every slasher had one. Michael Myers had his theme music, so did Hellraiser. Jason had the "Chi Chi Ha Ha" thing and Leather Face had that weird violin scratching sound. Freddy had both a theme and hiis famous blades dragging against metal sound which always sounded the same in each film.
I guess Chucky himself is a consistent theme but I can't even say his Good Guy voice remained consistant because different voice actors supplied the voice and it wasn't even used in Seed.
