TedStixon

Trivia: The original story treatment ended in a massive car chase involving a police helicopter, with Michael ultimately being decapitated and chopped up by the helicopter's blades when it crashes; but this was changed entirely to a more traditional, intimate one-on-one battle in rewrites.

TedStixon

Trivia: Jamie Lee Curtis and director Steve Miner tried to get actor/comedian Mike Myers to cameo in the film as a joke (since his name is the same as the killer), but he politely turned them down.

TedStixon

Trivia: The two detectives seen at the start of the film originally had much larger roles in the script. (Albeit, one was a female detective in the script.) They would track Michael Myers to California and appeared in several more scenes. However, their subplot was cut during rewrites, since it wasn't strictly necessary.

TedStixon

Trivia: Dr. Loomis' dialogue during the opening credits was done with a soundalike (famous voice actor Tom Kane), because the studio could not locate any unmixed audio of Loomis from the original film. All of the audio they could find had music and sound effects hard-mixed into it. (Ironically now, a little over twenty years later, isolating mixed dialogue and getting rid of music and sound effects is incredibly easy with cheap software.)

TedStixon

Trivia: Executive producer and uncredited co-writer Kevin Williamson wrote a scene acknowledging the events of "Halloween" 4-6, where it would be explained that Laurie faked her death in the car accident mentioned in "Halloween 4" to go into hiding and protect her daughter Jamie. She would learn about Jamie's death (seen in "Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers") and be grief-stricken. However, the scene was removed from the script, and the film was retooled to ignore every movie except one and two.

TedStixon

Trivia: Paula Marshall, who plays Terri, once went to a Bruce Springsteen concert several years after the movie came out and just so happened to end up next to John Cusack. He kept asking her questions because he thought he recognized her before finally exclaiming, "Hellraiser III! You were really good in that!" Marshall was not only very amused that John Cusack had seen "Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth," but was also very touched that someone as famous as John Cusack remembered her first major role.

TedStixon

Trivia: The radio we see Joey find in the dream is actually the exact same radio seen in "Hellbound: Hellraiser II." Not the same make and model... the EXACT same radio. The production designer put an order in for a period-accurate, old-timey radio for the World War I scenes, and through sheer dumb luck, the prop house just so happened to send them the same radio from the previous film.

TedStixon

Trivia: Clive Barker originally had no involvement with the film. He was brought in during post-production to help fix the film, evidently quipping, "Alright, now let's make it into a 'Hellraiser' film!" after seeing a rough cut.

TedStixon

Trivia: During the sex scene with JP and Sandy, JP aggressively holding Sandy's breasts wasn't scripted or planned. The actress decided she didn't want to bare her breasts on camera, so she had the actor playing JP hold them whenever she was on camera.

TedStixon

Trivia: The film was inspired by director/co-writer/star Vera Drew being commissioned to create a fan edit of the 2019 film "Joker." While working on the fan-edit, she began to think about her own life and ended up coming up with the idea of re-contextualizing "Batman" characters in order to tell a semi auto-biographical story about what she refers to as the "Holy Trinity" - gender, comedy, and mommy issues.

TedStixon

Trivia: Was pulled from TIFF after a single showing because director/co-writer/star Vera Drew got a warning letter from an "unnamed" massive media conglomerate. (Widely believed to be Warner Bros./Discovery.) Eventually the movie was able to be released legally because, as a parody, its content falls squarely under fair-use laws.

TedStixon

Trivia: Chucky's body in this film is the longest one he's inhabited. His body from this film gets stitched back together and is the same body he uses in "Bride of Chucky." "Seed of Chucky" mentions that it's the same body from "Bride." "Curse of Chucky" reveals that he's still using the same body, albeit with "prosthetics" covering his scars. And the doll's head is also seen still alive in "Cult of Chucky." The TV show implies it has finally been destroyed... 30 years after "Child's Play 3" came out.

TedStixon

Trivia: Nica's night-robe was inspired by the lead character in the movie The Fury, which is one of director Don Mancini's favourite films.

TedStixon

Trivia: The interior of the house wasn't real, but was rather a full-scale set built in a studio.

TedStixon

Trivia: Jill's eyeball burning up was added in using CGI in post-production, as they worried her death wasn't gory enough.

TedStixon

Trivia: Officer Stanton being killed by Tiffany is an almost exact duplicate of the opening scene of "Bride of Chucky." The dialogue he says on the phone is exactly the same dialogue that Officer Bailey says. Tiffany dispatches both men in the same way. Chucky is inside a black plastic bag in both scenes, and both scenes even have a steely blue due to the lighting.

TedStixon

Trivia: The first film in the franchise where Chucky (or a Chucky duplicate) is not killed during the climax. Up until this point, every film followed the classic slasher trope of the killer dying and being resurrected in the next movie. (Technically, a Chucky is shot but not killed in a post-credits scene).

TedStixon

Trivia: Summer H. Howell, the little girl who plays Alice, had to be filmed separately from the "stitched up Chucky" in the final scene because she was too scared of his creepy, scarred face. Her lines and Chucky's lines were shot separately, and then simple split-screen effects were used to put them together.

TedStixon

Trivia: Chucky voice actor Brad Dourif suggested his daughter Fiona to series creator Don Mancini for a role. She originally auditioned for the part of Barb, but Mancini felt she would be a perfect lead. However, he then became incredibly apprehensive to cast her, as he worried it might feel too much like stunt-casting. He also worried it would seem like he was trying to, as he put it, "kiss Brad's ass by casting his daughter." Mancini eventually went with his gut feeling and cast her.

TedStixon

Trivia: The lead character is played by Fiona Dourif, daughter of Chucky voice-actor Brad Dourif. She has jokingly referred to herself as the "real 'Seed of Chucky'", and admitted that she exploited the fact that her father voiced Chucky to get dates with cute boys in high school, since it made her one of the "cool kids." But as happy as she was to be part of the franchise, her father Brad was even happier - he often proclaimed that Fiona's participation was the most exciting part of the film for him.
