bates motel
Freddy's house on Elm Street. The original King Kong movie set. Jason's house on Halloween.
Definitely the Myers house!!
This is what I truly love about movies filmed on location. That years after filming for said movie wraps, people can actually visit the site & see how it has changed over the years, if at all. It's fun & makes location filming, in my opinion, superior to filming in a studio.
There are many Harry Potter filming locations all around England and Scotland and potterheads visit those locations all the time.
PSA: if it’s already a private property, please don’t disturb the current owner just to visit it.
That’s happened a lot to some owners of the Amityville house
People have always called me creepy for this, but I really would love to stay the night at the Stanley hotel that was used for the shining. I love both the shining and doctor sleep, so being in that hotel would be amazing
Only the Shining TV miniseries was shot at the Stanley Hotel, which is also where King wrote the book. They used to allow people to walk around the halls, but now only guests are allowed. There’s even a plaque next to room 217 where he stayed.
I got to see the Stanley Hotel years ago because my mom knows someone with a house near Estes Park. She took me over there to let me explore and take pictures because I love movies and reading a lot. This was before I started reading Stephen King. The hotel is worth the visit.
I have
I have camped at the actual Camp Crystal Lake (aka Camp Nobeboscoe). It's not haunted, they actually have some of the best food at any camp I've ever been to.
That's Awesome
Aw, That's Nice
Me too. Great time!
Just a comment regarding the exorcist stairs segment: The “Joker Stairs” are actually located in The Bronx, for anyone who’s interested, and not in Brooklyn like the lady said.
Also, I regularly shop at the Monroeville Mall and they absolutely love their association with Zombies.
I wish I could visit Nancy's house from A Nightmare On Elm Street. Since my childhood I think it's so cuddling and relaxing.
Visited Nancy’s home earlier this year really cool.
I’m actually live very close to the location of the Exorcist stairs. 🤩
Really suprised that Phoenixville, PA wasn't mentioned, where the movie theater & diner from the original BLOB are still standing.
The town even features a Blob-Fest early in July.
The Bates motel and the house are both just props at Universal Studios, I've been there twice. You can even see Jaws, lol.
The Whoville set in the background really kills it, am I right?
@@phoebelajoie5466 the 'Whoville' at Universal is actually kind of adjacent to the Park-- it's got a Dr. Seuss part of that park of its own (complete with a cafe serving Green Eggs & Ham!! -SO cool!) And so sad is that the Jaws , Earthquake & King Kong rides aren't there anymore
@@fordsgirl8096 I think we got our Universal Studios mixed up. In Cali, the deteriorated Whoville set from the movie is behind the Bates motel. Can't say anything about Florida
@@phoebelajoie5466 Oh,y eah- we went to the one in Orlando; probably very different!!
@@phoebelajoie5466 I am so, so, SO happy to say that the setpieces for Whoville that plagued the Bates Motel for years have finally either been dismantled or relocated. Having to see those god-awful foam turrets behind the scariest motel in horror film history was just maddening - Hitchcock was surely turning in his grave.
And just to offer a bit more on Bates Motel:
1.) The original house is on the Universal Studios backlot, though it has been moved from its original location. The motel standing today is not the original. Filling in approximately half with a matte painting, it was partially built for "Psycho II," and finished for "Psycho III." The failed 1987 pilot "Bates Motel" also filmed here, with a Mexican flair-inspired cafe, fountain, and wall added.
2.) "Psycho IV: The Beginning" was filming when Universal Studios Orlando opened in 1990. That shell (as all of the houses and motels have been) was first painted pale yellow and white for scenes in Norman's youth before it was aged to the familiar look and *SPOILER ALERT* partially lit ablaze for the film's finale.
3.) Gus Van Sant's 1998 remake was also filmed at Universal Hollywood, but the motel was updated with giant letters spelling "MOTEL" along its roof and a brand new, redesigned facade built directly in front of the original "Psycho" house. After filming, Universal moved the Van Sant facade next to the original, both standing aside each other for several years on the Universal Studios Backlot Tour until the late 2010's.
4.) The AMC "Bates Motel" series was filmed just outside of Vancouver in Aldergrove, British Columbia, with the house and motel structures replicated atop a previous landfill. For its first season, the house had no physical roof, the production adding it via CG and finishing the house for seasons 1-5. Aldergrove allegedly inquired as to whether the structures could remain on the site in an effort to boost tourism, but the production declined and both the house and motel were demolished within days of the final shots being completed.
I have an annual pass to Universal Studios Hollywood, so I do get to see the Bates Motel and Psycho House often. They even have a performer play Norman Bates from time to time and he comes at the Studio Tour trams with the knife. Mostly he does come out from Cabin #1 but he has been spotted coming from the house too.
I have also been to the Timberline Lodge once while visiting family up in Oregon during the summer. We were going shopping that day and decided to make the drive to Mount Hood. I wasn't into horror movies at the time and I found out about the hotel's film presence a few years later while watching a documentary about The Shining (1980).
While not horror film related, there are quite a number film locations in Oregon that you can visit (or at least see from the street): Oregon State Hospital (the hospital from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest), the town of Depoe Bay (also seen in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and is also a nice place to visit), and the University of Oregon- Eugene (where they shot National Lampoon's Animal House (among many more films) and has been the location for the US Track and Field Olympic trials in 1976, 1980, and since 2008).
About The Birds... You said "over half a decade later", it should have been 'over half a century later'.
I came here to say this! I was like “The Birds was filmed 5 years ago?!” LOL
Interior shots for the Shining was shot at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park in Colorado and the outside shots were taken at Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood in Oregon!
all the interiors were shot in a studio in England, the studio set was inspired by the Stanley Hotel but no actual filming there, there was no location filming except for a brief arial helicopter shot of the Timberline with no maze next to it!!!! ...also a large section of the exterior of the hotel was built on the studio backlot in England for Jack arriving and walking past the maze and through the hotel car park, this same section of set was later dressed in fake snow for the climax of the movie, the maze was also a studio set of course.
This is correct.
@@christoph404 And also correct because Kubrick never left England.
it's amazing how you can take living near landmarks for granted. I grew up in the DC area. And during my clubbing days, on my way downtown, I would drive by the Exorcist steps all the time. Never thought about stopping once, and I loved the movie
Crazy!
Love the movie too
Been to the replica of the Myers house in Raleigh, NC. Owner is former military and has some amazing stories and one of the largest collection of props from horror movie and shows! 10/10 recommended
Bein' from Pittsburgh, I appreciate the shout out & recognition of Monroeville Mall. 😉👍✌️
I would so love to visit the house from Scream. Another one even though it’s more of an action movie would be where they filmed Kong skull island specifically the graveyard of Kong‘s parents.
I've been to the Texas Chainsaw gas station
I honestly want to visit 1428 elm street house
I've only been to two movie filming locations- the field of dreams(and the farm you can see in distant shots beyond the cornfield because my dad's cousin owned that farm at the time) and the circle k they filmed bill and Ted's excellent adventure at(also drove past the water park they used for Waterloo)
stanley kubrick's adaptation of the shining was the overlooked build its construction started in 1907. it's finished in 1909. the site is supposed to be located on an indian burial ground and i believe they actually had to repel a few indian attacks as they were building it the building is certainly gorgeous while the area is a big tourist destination for both horror fans as well as your average everyday outdoor enthusiasts
@@Death.Died0 I'd prefer to visit the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park Colorado, which inspired Stephen King to write the novel, was used to film the late 90s miniseries, and was the first live episode of ghost hunters. Plus you can stay in the same room King did for a reasonable price
I had the chance to see the Fast and the Furious house upon my first time in LA. Though sadly the owners have a no trespassing sign posted on their front yard.
Awesome you have been to the Field of Dreams. I live 20 minutes from there.
I actually been to the Stanley hotel in Colorado where the shining was filmed it is so cool 😎
Think my mom and a family friend went once too; think they went only to Timberline, don’t remember if Mom went to the Stanley
Pasadena is just next city over my city. The classic Myers house have been my neighbor for the most of my life. The people that work there are very nice.
regarding "The Shining" location, the clip at 11:49 of Jack walking outside the hotel next to the maze and through the hotel car park towards the hotel entrance is a large outdoor set at Borehamwood Studios back in England, there was no filming at ground level either inside or outside, only some establishing arial shots from a helicopter of the Timberline Hotel.
They still seem to have tours available
of Dunsmuir House in Oakland, Ca.
This house was originally used
for the haunted house classic
"Burnt Offerings" in 1976; it's gone on
to be used in various other films,
most notably "Phantasm".
The Amityville House.
Oh hell yeah
Never buy that house!! 😨😨😨😨 It must be burned!!
@@e.d.h.kendrick673 the current owners changed the windows so it doesn't look the same. I drove by when I was younger and the house still looked creepy lol they built a set to recreate it for the movie, but it was modeled on the original house
2:23
Almost died laughing (I love the sound the zombie creates)
Idk if my heart could handle visiting the Dakota rip John 🙏
Fred: "Well gang. We got a mystery on our hands!"
The beginning of Friday the 13th takes place at a different location. The diner appears later in the movie when you see the owner of the camp having a cup of coffee. Cool inclusion, but you might confuse people who want to visit the sites where that movie was filmed. Also, the Living Dead Museum changed locations again, and is back in the mall.
Bodega Bay is a beautiful, sleepy little town but I couldn’t find anything familiar from The Birds. Whale watching from the bluffs is a popular pastime there. The Point Reyes Lighthouse is only accessible if it isn’t too windy; otherwise the stairs are closed. Did you know there are over 300 stairs leading down to the lighthouse? That also means you have to walk back up, so that bench is a well used rest stop.
Exterior shots of the house in Poltergeist were filmed in Simi Valley, California, about 30 minute drive from LA. The street address can easily be found online, though it appears the house has been renovated and no longer bears much resemblance to the house in the film.
I want to see the Addams family house. It looks gruesome and cool
I've been to the Blairstown diner, the graveyard, camp and town from friday the 13th, and the house and stairs from Excorcist. I find the people at Blairstown are very nice about the movie.
That's great to hear that these places could be visited
I'd like to go to the mansion where Hammer Horror and Rocky Horror were shot. I love the look of the house, and would love to explore it.
Now I know where to go on my summer vacation and for the month of September and October and the Friday 13th thanks mojo
I live in the town where the Cathedral Scene from The Omen was filmed
There are many more filming locations of horror movies and tv shows that I hope you mention if you make a part 2 of this topic.
I really enjoyed your video
Thank you!
I would love to visit bodega Bay from the birds movie 🍿
I live about an hour and a half from Bodega Bay. I went there years ago and it's BEAUTIFUL
There’s a horror movie location that I’m actually gonna be visiting. The Elora Quarry. It was used in both Dead Silence (2007) and IT (2017)
I definitely want to visit the Texas chainsaw massacre house and the conjuring house in Massachusetts!!
I actually find it nice that even though there's now a chiropractor at the Myers' house, they're very kind in letting Horror Fans take pictures of the inside
The thought of eating meat in the sawyer house, or just any meal for that matter is a tad off-putting 🤢, would love to visit though
All you can eat ribs sounds good lol
I knew about the Exorcist Steps, Lighthouse in The Fog, Bates Motel been on a tour at the Universal Studios Park when I was 18 and Timberline Lodge. I think I knew about The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Friday The 13th too.
Love Dawn of the Dead, my dad was one of the extra zombies. Monroeville Mall is still thriving!👍👌😃
Can't wait to visit that diner, next month.
No Nightmare On Elm Street?! Come onnnnnn!
when i visited the Bates house at Universal up on the hill you could kinda see Mrs. Bates sitting in one of the upstairs rooms thru the window. nice creepy touch.
Nice!!!
I live near where they filmed The Amityville Horror movie in Toms River NJ. It's right near this restaurant the Lobster Shanty. Well I have no idea if it's still there but the house should be. The original house got changed so you can't tell what it is now no more classic windows in the front.
I love the bates motel series location! It's beautiful.
I want go to the original House WHEN Michael Myers was at Halloween 1978 🎃😈
She meant to say 'over half a century ago' and not (decade) when she referenced the filming of that movie classic "The Birds"
Haha noticed
The Universal lot also has the set for the movie Jaws. That is a fun visit if you are in Southern California.
Saw the Bates Motel Location when I was at Universal Studios last September and had Norman Bates brush my left shoulder with his knife as we went past the Bates House while on the tour
You can also visit the Brewster apartment building in Chicago, Illinois, where the Chucky film Child's Play (1988) was filmed
The fact that the Macher house from Scream 1’s bloody third act is NOT on here is a travesty.
I paid to visit that house for an entire tour. Worth every penny. Me and my sis even re-enacted as many scenes as we could and recorded them.
With Ghostface in the scenes as well. 😎
I have been to most of these locations, but in watching this video was surprised to see actual footage of me at The Exorcist stairs. 😂
I've always wanted to visit the Dakota- the achiitecture & all those creepy Gargoyles hanging on it....not to mention the Stanley Hotel/Timberline Lodge? (named The Overlook in the books & movies) - I dare you to go there & stay in room 217!! and the castle from Rocky Horror Picture Show has always held a special place in my heart due to me portraying Janet in our local cast for so many years :)
Not gonna lie, I geeked out loud when I saw what #2 is. I'm going there in a few weeks 😁😁😁😁
I’ve been fortunate enough to camp at the original camp for the original Friday the 13th, Friday the 13th part 6 Jason Lives, and Friday the 13th part 7 A New Blood.
Good times.
Bodega Bay is also where they filmed us!
you forgot Black Christmas (1974) there are 3 locations you can visit there is a video (Black Christmas 1974 Filming Locations Then And Now) All Toronto Locations
I saw the Bates Motel during a visit to Universal Studios with my Mom, my sister and my Mom's childhood friend.
The camp Cristal lake
I damn sure want to go
All of them ,if I can
I want go to the location where the Exorcist was filmed at 😝
head for Washington D.C. and stop at Georgetown. you can see the house and the famous steps.
Okay I will 😈
I don't know if this counts but you could visit Martha's Vineyard from where they shot most of Amity Island from Jaws
Charles Band's Puppet Master Took place in Bodega By too, guys. ^^ Remember that? :)
3:25 "[...] classic 1963 horror film THE BIRDS and the setting is just as gorgeous today over half a DECADE later"..., then, we are living in 1968.
NO, it is half A CENTURY later (+ than 50 years).
Another horror place you can visit is the Medfield State Hospital in Medfield MA. As scene in The New Mutants, The Box, and most famously, Shutter Island.
A vote for TV's Twin Peaks (and movie Fire Walk With Me): Laura Palmer's house, the Great Northern Hotel, the RR Diner and Bang Bang Bar, as in the show/movie names.
Would love to have seen the house from "A Haunting in Connecticut" I grew up around the corner from the actual house
I would like visiting "The Exorcist" house once 👋
Nobody else catch that flub? The Birds was shot in Bodega Bay only half a decade ago lol.
I'd like to visit All Saints Church in Fulham, the scene of Patrick Troughton's spearing in The Omen.
You forgot to included the Houses of Parliament and Ten Downing Street as horror sets
Not a horror movie, but Shawshank was filmed in the Ohio state reformatory. Still a cool and creepy location and they do tours. Not paid at all to say this but this video made me think of it
3:30 "over half a decade later," I mean you're not wrong I guess but I can think of a different word to describe just a tad better.
the myers house from the first halloween movie, its actually a chiropractors office
The creepy house where the movie"Salems Lot" was filmed would be interesting. As long as I didn't disturb the owners
Halloween & f13 are my faves 💀
YES THE STANLEY HOTEL!
Timberline lodge is near Mt. Hood east of Portland Or. you forgot to mention that.
Didn’t know that Birds was shot only about half a decade ago, so 2017??? 😂
Joker steps are located in the Bronx, not Brooklyn.
Honorable Mention: Yankee Pedlar Inn.
I and my parents use to go where the birds was shot. It's now a Bed and breakfast
I'd like to know Bodega Bay!
"Over half a decade later."
Uh, it's been more than 5 years since The Birds was released. Come on narrators, read the script before you say it.
yeah. more like 60 years.
I thought the tourist express was just a ride in Universal Studios Hollywood
Please tell me you're going to mention the fact that John Lennon was shot in the lobby at the Dakota??
Of course most of you may know that John Lennon was shot by Mark David Chapman just before John entered #10
Rest In Peace to the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre house location, just a few weeks ago, they bulldozed quick hill, leveling it, and apartments are going up in its place, an area that used to be wasteland for dozens of miles, is now filled to the brim with evil, destructive progress known as public housing
@@Die-Angst it’s called find a home that’s not on a historic site, it’s called build the shit in another spot
@@Die-Angst so the building chose the location itself? Bullshit they chose it on purpose
@@Die-Angst if I lived there, I’d burn it down
What About Nancys house in A Nightmare on Elm St. Actually located on Genesee St Norh of Santa Monica Blvd in LA?
I went to the Myers house in South Pasadena
I’ve seen some filming locations and they’re not horror movies:
1: devil’s tower national park in Wyoming: filming location for the Columbia pictures 1977 sci fi classic close encounters of the third kind
2: Mount Rushmore in South Dakota: filming location for the mgm 1959 Alfred Hitchcock thriller classic north by northwest as well as Disney’s 2007 action film national treasure 2: book of secrets
3: black hills national forest in South Dakota: filming location for the academy award winning Orion pictures 1990 western classic dances with wolves
4: triple u buffalo ranch in Pierre South Dakota: another dances with wolves filming location
And finally number 5: northwest Chicago illinois: filming location for the 20th century fox (now studios) 1990 holiday classic home alone (I got to see the outside of the home alone house while returning home from vacation)
I was thinking rhat might be joker stairs also...
umm in the portion about the birds you say how Bodega Bay is still just as lovely over half a decade later you do mean over half a Century later?
