- "You've been very naughty, Miss Kettlewell."
- ―Chucky to Miss Kettlewell.
Elizabeth Kettlewell is a first grade school teacher, who takes Andy Barclay into her class.
Child's Play 2 (1990)[]
On the first day going to a new school, Chucky follows Andy by hiding under the bus. At recess, he sneaks into the classroom and finds Andy's test paper on the teacher's desk and writes "FUCK YOU BITCH" across it.
During class, while Miss Kettlewell reads a story about Pinocchio, Andy tells the boy sitting behind him to leave him alone after he flicks his ear. Walking over to Andy, she remarks that she has little patience for disruptions, and that as a new student he should be concerned about getting on her good side. Just as the bell rings, Miss Kettlewell tells the students to clean up before they can leave. She walks back to her desk and flips through the test papers, and sees Andy's obscenity-filled paper.
As Andy puts his toys into his cubby, he finds Chucky inside and jolts back, unaware Miss Kettlewell is right behind him. She scolds Andy, who insists that Chucky was the one who wrote on his paper. She forces him to stay at his desk for detention, and locks the doll into the maintenance closet. Locking Andy inside the classroom, she leaves to phone his foster parents, Phil and Joanne Simpson.
Death[]
Miss Kettlewell's death.
Miss Kettlewell returns and finds Andy missing, but hears the rattling of the doorknob coming from the closet. Assuming that Andy is hiding from her, she unlocks the closet door and begins searching for him, to no avail. Suddenly, she is startled as a kickball bounces down while she looks through sports uniforms. As she places the ball back on the top shelf, Chucky stabs her in the chest with an air pump. She is sent flying backwards into the desks as Chucky pushes down on the pump handle. Chucky finally emerges from the closet, with a yardstick in hand, and begins to advance toward Kettlewell. She can only scream in terror as Chucky beats her to death with the yardstick. Her body is later discovered by the authorities.
Trivia[]
- Miss Kettlewell is Chucky's 7th victim since Child's Play.
- Beth Grant was initially hesitant to accept the role of Miss Kettlewell. Although Grant liked the script, she was intimidated about doing a horror film. She called her friend, actress Dinah Manoff, asking for advice. Manoff replied, "Well, if you see Child's Play, you'll find that I'm in it" (Manoff had portrayed Maggie Peterson in the first movie). Grant took her attitude as a good omen, and signed on.
- Her death was mentioned in Cult of Chucky by the leader Chucky, when he uses her death as an example of how much he enjoys the look in his victims when they realize a doll is about to kill them.
