Please note that this show contains much suggestive dialogue / adult humor, but since there was no age restriction on the show itself, I'm not setting one for this video either.  Parental discretion is advised.

This was one of the most difficult of my videos so far to stabilize in post, since I was standing up in the back of the audience and had to zoom way in, and because the low light, low color contrast (thanks to the red spotlight), and fog machine made it difficult for Deshaker to analyze the footage.  I finally came up with some parameters that worked throughout, though.  Sorry that Chucky goes outside the frame a handful of times -- I sometimes had to contort myself to prevent people coming or going from blocking the shot.  Also sorry about the tape glitch at 4:39 -- luckily my Sony MiniDV cameras very rarely did that, back when I was still using tape (except once when the heads got gunked up due to my not knowing that you weren't supposed to mix MiniDV tape brands since the different lubricants reacted with each other).

The audio from the scene in the first film of Charles Lee Ray transferring his soul into the Chucky doll was played live during the show, but I decided to overlay ghostly images from the film over the backdrop of the puppet stage.  The original scene has interspersed shots of the detective running around with his gun inside the toy store, which would have been lame out of context, so I replaced those shots with reuses of lightning and Chucky's face.
