Just curious, were the apartment and hallway scenes set in Cabrini-Green actually filmed there, or were they sets?
ReplyDelete(I'd imagine sets, but reading about the condition of Cabrini-Green at the time, it does seem plausible that they could have been shot on location)
Here is a paragraph in regards to the filming at Cabrini-Green from the IMBD website:
Delete"Exterior, hallway and stairway scenes were actually filmed for a few days in the infamous Cabrini-Green housing projects, though the producers had to make a deal with the ruling gang members to put them in the movie as extras to ensure the cast and crew's safety during filming. Even with this arrangement, a sniper put a bullet through the production van on the last day of filming, though no one was injured."
Also here is the link:

I worked out of Cabrini Green at times and actually have a video on youtube when it started to close. The scenes were not filmed entirely around the Greens and I can vouch that yes, the gang members had to be put in, in order not to retaliate on the crew.
ReplyDeleteTony Todd mentioned to Cindy Pearlman of the Chicago Sun Times in 2011: "“I’ll never forget that I filmed that movie in a building on the South Side of Chicago. Building 116. Unit C,” he says. “That’s the Candyman pad!”
ReplyDeleteYou can tell that some shots were at the former Robber Taylor Homes which formerly stretched along the 90/94 (Dan Ryan) Interstate south of the city from 35th street to approx 71st or so. The picture above where you see the Hancock is taken from the former Cabrini Green (Halsted/ Division) which is west of downtown. The picture above where she is walking with the boy and you can see the Sears is from the Taylor Homes south of Downtown.
ReplyDeleteNo ALL THE SCENES FOR THE HOUSING PROJECTS WERE DONE IN CABRINI NOT THE ROBERT TAYLOR HOMES.
DeleteCandy man. .candy man. .Candyman!!! Yikes; /
ReplyDeleteInterested in where the hospital scene could have been filmed. Looks institutional...or possibly apartments.
ReplyDeleteCabrini Green by itself was a nightmare of gang members, murders and ghost stories. Just the words 'Cabrini Green' still give me chills. They chose the perfect location to shoot this horrific true story (in a way...)
ReplyDeleteIt's a very short shot and not instrumental, but I'm relatively certain that on the way to the police station they're driving on lower Wacker going east between Columbus and Lakeshore Dr
ReplyDeleteFor the parking garage, you may want to check out the parking garage on Larrabee. The still standing "Row Homes" used for most of the remake are right next door. There's a bldg on the corner of Larrabee & Chicago that my old company did a lot of cable work in, I used to park in that garage, it would always give me the creeps cuz it's very similar to the scene.
ReplyDeleteIf you're going east on Chicago and you turn onto Larrabee, the garage is on the right side close to the corner
ReplyDeleteAccording to UIC it was filmed at one of the college parking garages: https://today.uic.edu/as-seen-onscreen/
ReplyDeleteLooking in the background behind him it almost looks like there are a lot of hills and power lines. Looks a lot more like LA than any place in Chicago.
DeleteCandyman, Among Us the iconic horror film, takes viewers on a chilling journey through its haunting narrative and atmospheric settings.
