A deep cut I know but I truly enjoy researching these lesser known gems. Lots more to come in the future . Takes some time to fully research and plan these but I’m gonna step them up a notch and showcase more obscure cult classics
I was 21 and living in the small town of Athens, Texas when the movie came out. I wanted to see it, but my bride was adamant in her NO, so my 17 year old nephew and I went to the old Texan Theater for the late show. My nephew was afraid of nothing, but when I dropped him off at my parents house, he ran from my car (a 1968 Plymouth Roadrunner) to the front door. My parents never locked their door, but that night it was. I heard Randy screaming “for the love of god, PawPaw open the door”. I guess the “based on a true story” scared both of us more than we realized. I’ve not seen the movie in over 45 years. It’s time to introduce my son to it.
HEY ATW...YOUR FILM LOCATION VLOGS ARE ALWAYS so intense and interestingly educational. No one does them better! I'm so glad you are back. The faire I was left with just doesn't compare to your work. Thank you for throwing in a film location, especially so far from either home. I really enjoyed this one.
Funny story... I had gone out to my sister-in-law's house out in the deep back country, I mean boondocks...no neighbors, lonely dirt road. Her husband had gone out of town, and she didn't want to be alone. So, I took some movies and went to spend the weekend with her. One of the movies was the Town That Dreaded Sundown. Right at one of the most dramatic, scary moments, the blind on the window suddenly flew up, and one of their goats (with horns) was standing on the porch, just staring at us through the window. We screamed, and then ran into the bedroom and actually hid in the closet.... we finally recovered and started laughing, but still, I can not watch that movie. Oh, and that happened in northern Arkansas, so...yeah, the movie hit a bit close!
Adam, I love this type of video. I know your research, and all that goes with it, takes time and effort on your part. Believe me, many of us appreciate your efforts. Nobody does these "recreations" better.🤠👏🤗
I'm 61 and remember watching that movie when it came out. Still.... One of the most Scariest movies I've ever seen. Thanks for this, I love these types of videos.
This is the type of videos I love to see from you. Old abandoned filming locations. Your references were spot on. I re watched the film and paused at some of your pin points. Nice and very well done.
The time, effort and detail that has gone into this vlog is very much appreciated. Never seen the film but I will watch it because of this vlog. We have watched a lot of films we haven't seen before because of your film location vlogs. Stay safe and much love.
@@RamblinTed you would be wrong on that. The original 1976 version was filmed in Texarkana. check wikipedia. That's the one he is watching and talking about
Saw this when it first came out. Ben Johnson said Dawn Wells were the only big names that I can remember. I believe it had an "R" rating and I managed to get in without them carding me (I wasn't quite 17 yet).
I really enjoy your enthusiasm on these deeper cut movies.. it makes us want to go out and see the original for the first time or again all these years later.. It’s a Win Win :)
As someone who has lived in Texarkana all my life basically... THERES A FESTIVAL *EVERY* HALLOWEEN?! No I'm not saying this cause covid or whatever. I just never knew there was a festival.
Great video! My Grandmother actually lived in Texarkana during the 40s when the murders this movie is based on occurred, which became known as the Texarkana Moonlight Murders. She never forgot how terrified she and the rest of the town was during that time, she actually called the police one night because she heard something/someone in her yard and was convinced it was the killer.
Adam!!!! We totally love you and have been following you for years and years! But we are so mad right now because you were in our town & we didn’t know. 🥺 Yes, we live in Texarkana, Tx and are huge fans who would have loved to see you! ❤️❤️❤️
Good morning Adam! These early morning releases remind me of your 'daily woo' years. Waking up before the sun to enjoy your adventures and places I have never seen before.
That was awesome man! I loved that matchup of the bottom of the doorframe and sidewalk. I had my parents rent this movie for me when I was young cause the cover of the VHS reminded me of FTT2 with that Baghead. I have always been a fan of it myself. So cool to see the locations and awesome that you located the train too.
I have to say, I really love your movie Location vlogs, lol after I watched this I HAD TO watch the 1978 movie, liked it alot. Thank you so much for everything you do!!!!
Awesome video. You managed to find the grocery where Dawn Wells saw the Phantom. I'll have to do an addendum to my video because I was completely wrong. I've been told that the tree scene was actually filmed close to Charles Pierces home close to Shreveport. Sidenote: the actress who was tied to the tree was also in "Return to Boggy Creek part 2" and was married to a friend of mine. She just passed away a little over a year ago. Sweet lady.
Oh no kidding , Didn’t know she was in boggy 2 . Yea that tree would be monumental if ever found . I struggled for a long time attempting to track down with the Dawn wells house , still a mystery .
@@TheDailyWoo I looked for that house also. Still looking! Yes. Her name was Cindy Butler. She was dating Charles Pierce back then I believe. I plan on doing a video about Boggy 2. A lot of the locations still exist.
Never heard of this movie, loved the footage you showed. About to watch it now. Love seeing scenes from movies and recognizing the location. 🧡🌺 Thanks for sharing GOD BLESS
When you ended yesterday's video in Shreveport, my daughter-in-law said it would be awesome if you came to Texarkana next...and you did! Hope you enjoyed your short stay here!! There is always talk of renovating Union Station. Hopefully one day they will, along with the rest of the downtown area. I think the barber shop was inside the Grim Hotel, which is now being renovated. Downtown Texarkana was still a pretty happening place when the movie was made. That all changed when the mall opened in the late 70s. All the businesses then started moving to that part of town.
Awesome to see this kind of content again Adam! Love your road trip vidoes. You should do another collab with the Carpetbagger. You guys make a good team I think :)
Nothing against the friends that pop in from time to time, but Adam by his lonesome makes the ride more personal. I enjoy riding along those byways with the past up ahead, and listening to the Woo tell a story.
Great job Adam! Love these movie location visits. I just finished watching this film after seeing your vlog. I remember Charles Pierce from his Legend of Boggy Creek film. Awesome job!
Never knew about the movie. You did a great job with the locations you were able to get to. My sister lived in Texarkana for years and passed away there. Was trying to figure out what time period the movie was set in. Couldn’t tell if it was 40’s or 50’s. Sounds like a movie I would like to check out. Appreciate all the hard work you put in to bring all this together. Thank you. God bless you.
I appreciate all the details and look forward to more videos, I know I seen bits and pieces of the movie but don’t really recall it it’s been way too many years.
I had only heard of this film, but never actually dove in to watch it. So, prior to checking out this locations video, I’m renting it via Amazon Prime. It’ll make the vid that much better. I love the obscure/lesser known film location stuff. Thank you for putting me on to something different, man!
Great job Adam. Very interesting video. Always look forward to being entertained by your videos. Keep up the fine episodes. Hope you doing well ,stay safe :)
Thanks for this one Adam it was very interesting enjoyed it immensely I never heard of that movie believe it or not but now that you've brought it to my attention and all this other stuff I'm going to find it and check it out thank you again my friend 👍😁
Loved the old buildings. To bad they where not able to be restored and used. The old buildings have a lot more character then most today do. I have never seen this movie. But still enjoyed this blog. Looking forward to the next one. 👍🙋🤓
I stayed in Texarkana a few years ago on my way to Dallas/Fort Worth. It started snowing as soon as it got dark. By the next day in Fort Worth, it had snowed 12.5 inches.
There is a zero percent chance I would have watch this movie this week, or maybe ever were it not for your location job. Movie now watched! Thank you Adam. A Cross country trip with movie locations is so enjoyable.
Never seen the movie Adam, but i love a good thriller and as it's supposed, loosely based on a real serial killer, sounds pretty good, or as you said slightly terrifying, enjoyed the vlog
When Deputy Ramsey meets Captain Morales at the train station the exterior shots of him getting off the train and walking on the platform were filmed in Scott AR where all of the other train scenes were located. After the camera shows them walking into the depot the scene cuts to the interior of Union Station Texarkana. Great video, Adam!
I have been there a couple of times . I went to the gazette to get some information . The sweet older ladies that worked there ran me off a whole bunch of News paper copies . I ate at GREAT little restaurant . Good times. Thanks a bunch for the video . The first time a watched the movie was back in 1984 when I lived in Houston . On my way home lonely dark back roads of course I thought this guy is probably still alive . I hope he doesn't run out of the woods with that sack over his head 😂 . I am still fascinated with the story and I watch it every year . I have a full sized (copy) glass framed poster of the movie I put up every year in the fall at my business in Vermont .
To this day, one of the scariest movies..the ending scene with the guy dragging his foot..AHHH!! When a Stranger Calls, (the original) is up there too!
Nice to wake up and learn something new from the King Of Americana Adam The Woo! Adams' way of pointing out the little details of all the small towns he visits makes his videos stand out above all others! Its has always fascinated me to witness a person grow and thrive in a field that seems to have been their calling! Continue enlighting us of all the interesting history these small towns have to offer Adam! And as always my friend stay safe and travel on! Oh yes travel on indeed!
A deep cut I know but I truly enjoy researching these lesser known gems. Lots more to come in the future . Takes some time to fully research and plan these but I’m gonna step them up a notch and showcase more obscure cult classics
Love it, and the film! One day you should do some Twin Peaks locations too!
Thanks for all that you do Adam
Great movie, I'd love to see you dress up like Dwight from The Office and give us some FACTS on the location.
Your research skills are awesome!! I am going to try to find the location of the home on the corner that you didn't find. It looks very familiar.
Thanks, Adam, love your American Archeology.

That’s a great memory and story and totally understand why it would put fear into someone . Especially for the timeframe it came out
You are a detailed and skilled historian. Your preparation before the filming of locations is extensive. You’re the best! 🎥

Very kind of you to say thank you
I live in Texarkana, and this brought me joy. Thank you.
I was raised in Texarkana in the 80's - I had many sleepless nights because of the Phantom Killer stories!

Lol but i would have done that to
That is hilarious! Goat had perfect timing!
Goats are weird. I wasn't expecting to laugh that hard at that story, but I did! Great comment!
You really did your research for this classic, awesome.
Thanks Nick . Love diving deep into these , my favorite thing to do
@@TheDailyWoo We will meet one day.
Adam, I love this type of video. I know your research, and all that goes with it, takes time and effort on your part. Believe me, many of us appreciate your efforts. Nobody does these "recreations" better.🤠👏🤗
Much appreciated ! Thank you for the kind words
I'm 61 and remember watching that movie when it came out. Still.... One of the most Scariest movies I've ever seen. Thanks for this, I love these types of videos.
Finally one of my favorite films is brought back to life. Thanks so much. A lesser known gem for sure, but pure gold
My uncle showed me this original film when I was a young teen. I always remembered it. Great video Adam!
Glad to see that Dawn Wells had some film creds before Gilligans Island. Just checked IMDB and found out she was in a lot of roles!
Thank you for sharing Texarkana!
This is the type of videos I love to see from you. Old abandoned filming locations. Your references were spot on. I re watched the film and paused at some of your pin points. Nice and very well done.
The time, effort and detail that has gone into this vlog is very much appreciated. Never seen the film but I will watch it because of this vlog. We have watched a lot of films we haven't seen before because of your film location vlogs. Stay safe and much love.
Another movie I've never seen, heard of and isn't on my list to see. Yet you always make these interesting! Have a great trip back out to So. Calif.
You are truly in your element with these types of explorations. Thank you Adam.
Thanks so much
I really appreciate all of the research and work you put into your videos
This is the Woo I like to watch. Going to old towns and researching old buildings. Nice job Adam!
I lived here my entire life. The stories my grandma told me about that time are very creepy. That town has an eerie vibe in general
Scariest movie I watched as a kid growing up in the early 80’s. Thanks for doing this one Adam. Stay safe sir.
Really enjoyed this! All the research you do makes for a fun hobby, really appreciate all you do! Stay safe on your travels!
Rumor has it that there's beer in Texarkana and we’ll bring it back no matter what it takes.
In related news… the boys are thirsty in Atlanta.
Eastbound and down, loaded up and truckin'.
And not one scene in that movie was filmed in Texarkana. lol. All in Georgia.
@@RamblinTed you would be wrong on that. The original 1976 version was filmed in Texarkana. check wikipedia. That's the one he is watching and talking about
@@dannybalch5115 I was talking about the Smokey and the Bandit reference.
@@RamblinTed ahh ok my mistake.
Texarkana, my old stomping grounds back in the day while attending SAU. Great video!
Hi Adam the Woo! Great vlog. Thank you 4 taking us along. Always a pleasure joining you. 💕
Saw this when it first came out. Ben Johnson said Dawn Wells were the only big names that I can remember. I believe it had an "R" rating and I managed to get in without them carding me (I wasn't quite 17 yet).
OMG, that was a great video, Thanks, Now I am on my way to watch this classic right now! Thanks ADAM!!
I really enjoy your enthusiasm on these deeper cut movies.. it makes us want to go out and see the original for the first time or again all these years later.. It’s a Win Win :)
Oh dude sweet! I’m so stoked you did this movie. They do a festival there every Halloween.
Been wanting to for a long time just wanted to wait to do it justice . Love it ! Wish I could have gotten in union station
As someone who has lived in Texarkana all my life basically... THERES A FESTIVAL *EVERY* HALLOWEEN?!
No I'm not saying this cause covid or whatever. I just never knew there was a festival.

It’s a cool place , I’ll return one of these days for sure to the area . So much more I want to cover
Love to see you traveling. I LOVE road trips. Thank you!
Not my type of movie, but really appreciate all the time you spend researching.
Good morning Adam! These early morning releases remind me of your 'daily woo' years. Waking up before the sun to enjoy your adventures and places I have never seen before.
When I saw the thumbnail in my UA-cam feed, I thought it was a video from 2013.
Thank you , glad to have you along
@@TheDailyWoo hi Adam I am enjoying your UA-cam channel video 👍👍😁😊
I nearly squealed!!
So happy to see you doing this one. 💯👍🔥❤

Tampa Jay You and Adam have a lot in common, buddy ! This reminds me of some of your vlogs!
jason`s baghead was inspired by this movie
Saw this movie for the first time last weekend because of this video. Great job, Adam.
I have to say, I really love your movie Location vlogs, lol after I watched this I HAD TO watch the 1978 movie, liked it alot. Thank you so much for everything you do!!!!
Amazing work as usual. Watching movie for first time and I can picture the spots you showed. Thank you for bringing this movie into my life Adam.
This was a great video Adam. It is such a shame to see great old building's being abandoned. Great history.
I saw this movie when I was a kid and it scared the crap outta me. Still works today due to it’s documentary approach.

You are correct. Pierce himself said it was filmed on his property.
Went to the Farmhouse location, or the 2 places it could have been. Nothing looks the same now though. 45 years changes a lot.
Never heard of this movie, loved the footage you showed. About to watch it now. Love seeing scenes from movies and recognizing the location. 🧡🌺
Thanks for sharing

Its free here on UA-cam
Had to stop and watch the movie. Thank you for another awesome video. Safe travels. God Bless
Very detailed documentary. Nice job!
As with many municipal or industrial abandoned buildings or complexes it's a shame they weren't repurposed.
Another great video as always, Adam. Your time and dedication truly show. Thank you for always creating great videos.
Thanks for sharing the early morning view! Nice road trip/filming locations combo. 🚂🚂💨
Two Thumbz 👍👍
Those old buildings in the first part of your video look creepier than they did in the movie!
Good morning Adam! It's always amazing how you can find those match ups!
It’s a lot of fun and takes some time but it’s what I love
Adam,I'm so glad your getting back into Urban Exploring.
You really did the research on this. Very thorough.
I enjoy it . Thanks for noticing
Great stuff Adam... love the filming locations stuff..l'll have to check this one out..thanks for the info!
Thanks for inspiring me to start my own travel channel
Bravo! One of the early cult classics of the slasher genre. I believe this film inspired Jason’s look in Friday the 13th Part 2. Very well done.
One of my fave older horror flicks !!
Great job Adam. Very interesting video. Always look forward to being entertained by your videos. Keep up the fine episodes. Hope you doing well ,stay safe :)
SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU BACK
Thanks for this one Adam it was very interesting enjoyed it immensely I never heard of that movie believe it or not but now that you've brought it to my attention and all this other stuff I'm going to find it and check it out thank you again my friend 👍😁
Adam, I hear a song in my head.....down in Louisiana just about a mile from Texarkana....cotton fields... God bless America.
Loved the old buildings. To bad they where not able to be restored and used. The old buildings have a lot more character then most today do. I have never seen this movie. But still enjoyed this blog. Looking forward to the next one. 👍🙋🤓
Great Job Wooman! I need to rewatch this! Thank you Adam!
I visited Texarkana a couple of years ago and had a very eerie feeling about it
Love this kinda stuff. Sad to see what has happened to all these places. Glad there are parts of them still there to see though.
I stayed in Texarkana a few years ago on my way to Dallas/Fort Worth. It started snowing as soon as it got dark. By the next day in Fort Worth, it had snowed 12.5 inches.
Awesome 🤗 Thank you Adam.👌👏🏻
There is a zero percent chance I would have watch this movie this week, or maybe ever were it not for your location job. Movie now watched! Thank you Adam. A Cross country trip with movie locations is so enjoyable.
Another great day! Thanks, Adam!
Never seen the movie Adam, but i love a good thriller and as it's supposed, loosely based on a real serial killer, sounds pretty good, or as you said slightly terrifying, enjoyed the vlog

Very interesting . That makes sense , thanks for the heads up
When I saw the title of the video, I got super excited bro! Love the movie and even the remake, can’t wait to watch this…
More of this please Adam i am really interested in this kind of stuff ... thanks a lot
This was cool to see. Thanks for sharing this. I'll have to watch the movie now. I wonder if it's on UA-cam.
It must be warmer in Texas compared from last time you were there 😬☃️🚙 Glad you got out of the bad weather safely 👍
I have been there a couple of times . I went to the gazette to get some information . The sweet older ladies that worked there ran me off a whole bunch of News paper copies . I ate at GREAT little restaurant . Good times. Thanks a bunch for the video . The first time a watched the movie was back in 1984 when I lived in Houston . On my way home lonely dark back roads of course I thought this guy is probably still alive . I hope he doesn't run out of the woods with that sack over his head 😂 . I am still fascinated with the story and I watch it every year . I have a full sized (copy) glass framed poster of the movie I put up every year in the fall at my business in Vermont .
I'm back for the algo. Good to see some more road trip.
im always sad when i see these great small towns falling apart.
Thank you Adam!
Another great video--you're on a roll!
What a great movie and the narration is so good on it. I did see a documentary on what it was based on and that was so good.
Awesome 👏
This is so cool. Thank you Mr. Woo.
I appreciate the research!
Thank you
@@TheDailyWoo Now I need to watch the movie. I just love old buildings and all the history they hold.
Thanx for chopping the intro sequence of DailyWoo! Less is more :)
To this day, one of the scariest movies..the ending scene with the guy dragging his foot..AHHH!! When a Stranger Calls, (the original) is up there too!
Adam that movie came out the year I was born I'm 45 now. Thanks for sharing 👍📹
