- "Bang, you're dead."
- ―Chucky shooting Mattson with a water pistol.
Mattson is an executive with the Play Pals toy company, where they create and produce Good Guy dolls.
Child's Play 2 (1990)[]
As the Play Pals CEO Sullivan wants to erase the bad publicity that came with Andy's doll, Mattson gives him the good news that the police denied Andy's story, and his mother, who backed up her son's testimony, was being held in a psychiatric facility. However, he admits the company's problem now has been the rumours, as people believe someone at the company tampered with the doll's voice cassette. He then tells Sullivan that they found the doll, Chucky, and that they are rebuilding him to prove that there was nothing wrong with it.
As Mattson and Sullivan watch the technicians finish the rebuilding, one of the technicians is electrocuted and killed when the machine inserts Chucky's eyes into his sockets. He orders Mattson to cover up the technician's death and to get rid of Chucky. He is unsure about what to do with the doll, so after work he attempts to stuff him in the trunk of his BMW, but is unable to close the lid due to it already being full of other Play Pals products. Instead he tosses Chucky in the back seat, which is also loaded with Play Pals products, and drives to a liquor store to buy vodka. However, the sale is disapproved as the store is a cash-only business and won't accept his credit card. Mattson then rushes outside when he hears his BMW's alarm going off, but sees nothing out of the ordinary. He decides to get into his car and drive away.
Death[]
Mattson's death.
While Mattson is driving, Chucky threatens him from the back seat with a water pistol, and demands that he continue driving. After they pass the Simpson residence where Andy is now living, Chucky instructs him to park the car in a vacant parking lot. He orders him to put his arms behind the seat, and ties his hands together with a jump rope. He pleads desperately with Chucky, saying he has no cash on hand, but telling him that he can take the car and his credit card.
As Mattson begins to break down and cry, Chucky shoots the water pistol at Mattson's face, and then starts laughing, and Mattson nervously joins in. As he looks in the rear view mirror, he becomes confused as he cannot see a person behind him. Suddenly, Chucky throws a Good Guy branded plastic bag over his head and pulls tight, until he eventually dies from suffocation.
Trivia[]
- Mattson is Chucky's 6th victim since Child's Play.
- In a deleted scene, Mattson calls his wife and lies to her about being stuck late at work. After he hangs up, he calls his girlfriend Gabrielle, who inadvertently reminds him that he needs to buy vodka for their two week anniversary. The scene was reinstated in the DVD release, and explained why Mattson stopped at the liquor store.
