Highlights

Uncover Hollywood's sinister past in Chicago through The Wizard of Oz, cocaine movies, and gangsters!


A park inspired by The Wizard of Oz, homes designed by Chicago's leading architect, and a theater built for moving pictures seem friendly enough. But a closer look at these Chicago locations leads us down a destructive path closely tied to Hollywood.


Along your journey, film clips, screenshots, newspaper clippings, and vintage movie magazines will transport you back in time, offering glimpses into scandalous happenings of yesteryear.


Join Chicago Movie Tours in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood for this 90-minute guided outdoor walking tour on the darker side of the silver screen, with special focus on the 1939 movie musical The Wizard of Oz.
