I always thought the hypnosis scene in the movie theater was the Patio Theater 6008 W. Irving Park Rd. Maybe you could do a little detective work on that.

that scene was the rialto theatre in Joliet IL. The scene with the train station is in Joliet as well, the part that shows silver cross field......all in Joliet. IDK why this article said the whole thing was filmed in Chicago. A lot of it was filmed right here in Joliet.
DeleteThe menards part too when k bacon buys shovels. Off of jefferson st by the dmv in joliet.
DeleteThe hypnosis scene was in the Rialto Theater in Joliet. Walking distance from the train station.
ReplyDelete"maggie in the city trying to find the police officer with the gift" was filmed on the west side of Damen just south of north avenue
ReplyDeleteThank you I have now added it to the page. Thanks again for helping out.
DeleteMaggie's Relatives House was filmed at approximately 6329 N Legett Ave. I lived across the street at the time. https://www.google.com/maps?q=6312+North+Legett+Avenue,+Chicago,+IL&hl=en&ll=41.995695,-87.752073&spn=0.000004,0.002384&sll=42.293779,-87.909308&sspn=0.114027,0.152607&oq=6312+North+leg&hnear=6312+N+Legett+Ave,+Chicago,+Illinois+60646&t=m&z=19&layer=c&cbll=41.995775,-87.752007&panoid=_zFReKtmsvxKIwiqJNvo-A&cbp=12,119.5,,0,-2.94
ReplyDeleteHi Michael, thank you for the info. I figured the only way I would know about the house is when somebody told me about it. I appreciate you telling me.
DeleteGlad I could help! Great site!
DeleteWhere is the that house with the huge wrap around porch?
ReplyDeleteDon't go down the street where Kevin Bacon lived in the movie. People will give you a hard time.
ReplyDeleteHow hard of a time? Going to chicago in june, this was one of my stops. Is iy not safe, or are they just rude?
DeleteI did my pictures a few years ago. I didn't have any issues. People get sick of tourists sometimes. Just be respectful.
DeleteI went to the house last week. I was discreet taking pictures. No problem at all.
DeleteWhat is the name of the church on that street?

DeleteThere was also a scene in which Kevin Bacon goes into Menards to rent and purchase tools to dig up the basement. This was also done in Joliet. The Menards from the movie has since been torn down and relocated.
ReplyDeleteThe block party scene that bar was a fake they built the outer walls just for the movie, I remember seeing them film from the L. I believe they spent about a week of so shooting the scene but the façade was up for quite awhile I think until they wrapped production.
ReplyDeleteThe bar in the block party scene was not torn down. It was a facade prop that was created and installed for this scene. I loved in the building it was next to at the time. It was there for a week with a guard 24/7
ReplyDeleteThank you for the info. I will reword it in the post.
