Kramer not only built his original traps by hand, he orchestrated circumstances to bring together specific people in his life to afford them the opportunity to make amends in one of his games.

Chucky is also able to make it appear that Andy is the slayer of Norris, his babysitter, and all of his other targets by knowing when to act like a hapless doll and when to come to life.
