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.

[@chuckprefume3218]

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

[@Super122291]

U mean kid. Chuck

[@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.

[@markcampbell369]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@robertpreston2220]

One of the scripts for a sequels to Halloween was going to be here in Chicago as well, but that one never happened

[@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.

[@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

[@chicogozosodecabellosedoso]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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! 🤘

[@marclongmate2321]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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 🎃🎃🎃

[@OneFreeButterfly]

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.

[@josephtricoli3]

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

[@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 💕

[@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

[@selw0nk]

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

[@ChiTwnLink]

Hell yeah!!! Even as a kid I knew all the filming locations and loved going to see them. Glad you guys covered this morning. Hope you guys enjoyed Chicago. Please come back and do more. Chicago has an awesome history.

[@Etiker5]

I watched this movie as a child when it first came out. I'm 41 now and still watch all the Chucky movies. BTW, Awesome channel and you two do such an amazing job in your videos. 😊

[@afrolintin]

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

[@shannonfitz]

Happy Halloween 🎃! Love filming location videos!! Thank you! ❤

[@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.

[@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 ❤.

[@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! 😊

[@SoCal780]

Now I’m gonna have to watch this movie again! Another great one you guys, thanks! 👍

[@delix787]

Thank you for introducing me to Type O Negative. 🖤💚🖤 Peter steele’s anniversary of his death was yesterday, 14 years gone. 🪦

[@JustPlainSteve5372]

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

[@KeithByrne1994]

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

[@BlackArroToons]

Great comparison of the film vs modern Chicago buildings and locations. Thanks!

[@nigelbilsby3826]

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

[@Irishgip1]

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

[@johno30197]

[@sardav160479]

[@happyclam1266]

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

[@robertpreston2220]

agree

[@captivatednightshade1432]

This movie terrified me as a child. But it's nice to see the history and the filming locations for it. ❤

[@rondohatton7292]

In for some Chucky fun!

[@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.

[@sagittariuswoman7278]

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

[@taxidriver00754]

Can't wait to meet you both in Sheffields horror con, it's only 140 mins drive from Middlesbrough where Im from so got my tickets for the Sunday 12th may

1. Chicago is my second favorite city in the states after San Francisco. 2. I didn’t know this was filmed in Chicago and this is one of my favorite films ever!

[@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]
