This has always been one of my favorite movies. That scene when Karen sees Chucky doesn’t have any batteries was terrifying as a kid.

[@joanna7350]

and that nasty bum that sold her the doll trying to force himself on her until Norris comes and saves her.

[@dachucktaylor1]

Chucky and Candyman are two horror classics that were filmed in Chicago.

[@happyclam1266]

I lived near this area in the 1990s and there were movies being made constantly in the area. I remember The Hudsucker Proxy with Paul Newman and Jennifer Jason Leigh being filmed about a block from my apartment.

[@debbiemoore2747]

Candyman is amazing

[@Randyronald999]

​@@debbiemoore2747 was shi@ all horror movies are shi# there all the same 🤣🤣

[@tomcruze7898]

Candyman was just exterior filming. They didn't actually film it in Cabrini.

[@Thrakus]

Why has no one made a Chucky doll with a fake battery cover hiding the real ones like with the movie prop , that would blow your mind as a kid and still be cool as a prop remake.

[@MartinAlexanderVideos]

I am obsessed with your comment that idea is pure GOLD

[@Alex_F81]

🙂👍

[@SavvyLeaduh716]

There was

[@Thrakus]

@@SavvyLeaduh716 Nice , I did not know anyone made it.

[@chicagolifetv]

You should make it

[@CeriGoff]

I adore Chucky. All the movies. Brad Dourif is a brilliant actor and the fact that he stuck with the killer doll all these years is awesome. Loving the T.V. show too and Tiff should probably be worshiped as a goddess.

[@Chelliegoth]

To think Chucky was the scariest doll when we were kids,I think this video deserves a ton of likes just like the rest of your channel. It's always amazing to see the places a great movie was made.

[@vinnygognitti8858]

Your pretty amazing yourself sweetheart wow your beautiful 🤩🔥🌹😍🔥

[@nickihalcomb6517]

Puppet masters scared me.

[@Chelliegoth]

@@vinnygognitti8858 Thank you!

[@jenloveshorror]

​@vinnygognitti8858 I scrolled down & noticed she thanked you, but honestly I found ur comment overly creepy. Maybe that's just my age talking & if ur being sincere then good on u, but u can give a lady a nice compliment without laying it on so thick lol

[@nochistar]

@@jenloveshorror I think that Vinny just wants to be her boyfriend and maybe give her a lot of kiddos. This is my age talking 😉

[@chuckprefume3218]

This movie scared the crap out of me as a teenager, thanks for sharing!

[@Super122291]

U mean kid. Chuck

[@markcampbell369]

I’m a Jason Vorhees fanboy, but here in Ecuador, Chucky absolutely rules! They practically worship him! Great video!!

[@TI4438]

There is a scene where Chucky is crawling around the outside of a building. That building is located at the southeast corner of Cook County Jail.

[@Crossfirepyro2]

Love that movie horror movies here these days don’t really scare you like they did back then

[@hectorlopez1069]

It sure scared you as a kid, now we are all grown up, it's funny now.

[@annienord7203]

Poor Chris Sarandon got phenomena when he was doing one scene with the car being upside down

[@debbiemoore2747]

Chris Sarandon is one of my favourite Vampires

[@moviegeek9540]

Imagine living in that apartment building and not knowing a popular horror movie was filmed there!

[@hectorlopez1069]

Yes, of course

[@kyleechristina1231]

I worked at my local Target for 9 years and if only my store looked like that lol too bad they couldn’t carry on the cathedral like architecture on the inside! Crazy to see these scenes and what is still standing omg

[@happyclam1266]

This building housed Carson, Pirie, Scott and Company. You can see the original signage in the movie. It was on par with a Macy's, high end retail.

[@FueledByMagic]

Child’s Play has always been one of my all-time favorite horror movies, so getting to see all these filming locations in such high quality was a real treat. Thanks for consistently putting out great content like this! 🤘

[@michaelll]

This is awesome, man. I remember watching all of the child's play movies back in the 90s. The movies and tv shows from the 80s and 90s were the best of all time

[@NaviannaReignStorm]

first movie (as a 3 year old in 1988) to scare me , i used to think chucky was hiding in my kitchen lmao 😂 love chucky ♥♥

[@karentucker2161]

I was 4...I don't know how ubqas allowed to watch horror movies back as a kid but I at least didn't have nightmares from them.

[@marclongmate2321]

My favourite film growing up. You are so lucky to get to see such iconic landmarks.❤

[@MrEaglesfan40]

30 bucks an hour for parking is crazy should’ve took an Uber

[@jenloveshorror]

Did I hear him right that it's 30 for like only a half an hr?? I haven't had to park in city in many years & I recall in my nearby city it was like 10 for an hr. That's nuts it's gotten that high. I'm assuming that's why everyone either walks or finds other transport nowadays. Wonder if that's a Chicago thing or other major cities now too?

[@jessicamarshall7957]

@@jenloveshorror Daley for sure started it if others are doing it now, he spearheaded that mf

[@rachaelsevern8465]

Great film Childs Play, it scared me even at 13. Some lovely old buildings they filmed in. Thanks again Michael & Jessica for another awesome vid. Happy Halloween 🎃🎃🎃

[@chelseaolivas6716]

I’m very glad you made this video. Child’s Play is one of my favorite horror movies. Thank you so much. Sending love 💕

[@marquesterry3585]

She's hilarious for the shoot out reference. I walked passed this area so many times without realizing how monumental it is. Way before my time.

[@selw0nk]

I'm surprised you guys never filmed this before unless I missed the past videos.

[@kyleechristina1231]

First thing I think of when I think of Chucky is “hi I’m Chucky, hahaha wanna play?” Wielding a knife bigger than he is! 👻

[@DavidNiehaus20]

Michael grimm would you fufill my suggestion by visiting the grave of John philip sousa please and you are the sweetest kindest most special guy on youtube ♥️♥️

[@JMFabiano]

Now I think of, PREVIOUSLY ON F*CKING CHUCKY... No really I enjoy the show too.

[@TyhlerNovac]

Aww .... Chucky oh that Chucky

[@edwardsmalls1198]

The hahahaha came last

[@happyclam1266]

It's tragic that the iconic Carson Pirie Scott building has been turned into a Target.

[@josephtricoli3]

loved it one of mine favorite horror movies. chucky loved it too,

[@davidleslie1963]

Very cool...is it wrong that I want more? LOL

[@LoVeAmBiEnT]

I was about 10 years old when this came out. Love child’s play. Bringing back some memories thank you. Great video you two ❤.

[@afrolintin]

Been waiting for this one!❤️ stay safe you guys!!

[@sarahwalker4191]

The lady who played Andy's mom is the lady who played the mom from the hit TV show 7th Heaven

[@Cardenas50zz58]

No way!! I never knew that!

[@TheAgame914]

Charles Lee ray!!!!

[@Echolyris212]

“ Give me the power I beg of you!!!”

[@gagadreams]

Saw Child's Play in the theater with my friend when we were 10 years old, was so scared couldn't sleep all night! I credit it as the reason I love horror movies now! It's my favorite genre, I watch it to relax! Didn't even know it was filmed in Chicago where I live! 😊

[@marymacgregor6952]

Love the way you show parts of the movie because I haven’t seen this in years. Now I want to see it again.

[@Bobbyd0052]

WHAT AN EXCELLENT TREAT ! STILL DONT TRUST ANY DOLLS ! THANK YOU !😮

I Love these adventures of returning to these exact spots!! Thank You

[@SoCal780]

[@KeithTheirishdude]

Awesome video and Chucky definitely was one of those horror films that had me gripping hard on my couch 👻but I love it Grimms 😀 😊

[@tycobb8974]

Superb work again. Haven't watched you guys in a while. I'm just glad y'all made it out of there alive.

[@sardav160479]

Great video guys

[@sagittariuswoman7278]

Yayyyyy.I’m so excited to watch this ❤ Thank y’all soooo much ❤❤❤❤❤

[@SaraMarie23]

The fact that it started snowing and it also snowed in the movie just goes to show y’all picked the perfect day to see those filming locations. I love the movies and the series. You two are so lucky you got to see where it all started.

[@Irishgip1]

Time to boogie!!! 🕺 Have I mentioned I love your theme.

[@carmine_]

Bring back all old scary/horror films .. movies were so much better back then… movies suck now… bring back blockbuster to

[@deejones9833]

There's still one surviving one I forget where it's located though

[@nigelbilsby3826]

That was cool, glad you could find lots of buildings and things that were in the movie, and nicely done!

[@YoMama9021]

The scene where Andy is walking all by himself in a bad part of town hits different nowadays as a mom vs when I was a kid. The writer and director really knew how to make a regular looking scene feel super creepy and scary! This movie is should go down as one of the best child horror movies ever made.

[@Dboss74]

Best intro music on KZbin! I watched this at 8 years old, and wanted a Chucky doll lol

[@teresauplinger1601]

Love it...thanks again guys.☺️👍!

[@stevemuzak8526]

Another great video. Love your channel. You always have such great information.

[@Garbage_Pail_Kid]

Thank you so much for this, guys. Watching it with my 'to scale' Trick Or Treat Chucky replica 😅. I adore this film. As a kid I had it 'recorded from TV' on a four-hour VHS tape - along with Labyrinth. What a double-bill that was.

[@AnthonyPillay2024]

Thank you both , Childs Play is a classic. The locations are awesome, especially the before and after scenes. You guys rock !

[@dhampir_1056]

I love how they actually filmed in Chicago! There are a lot of films based in Chicago but not filmed there.

The sitcom family matters was based in Chicago, but not filmed there.
