I've been to the Field of Dreams location. We rented the house for the night, and when you rent the house , they let you go out on the ballfield for 1 hour anytime you want to at night and play a game or just walk the bases. We went in the winter time, so it was freezing , lol , but we bundled up and went out to the field at midnight , after having pizza and watching the movie in the living room of the actual house. It was pretty cool.
I will add one more site, Werfen, Austria. The town and its fortress, Hohenwerfen, were featured in the WWII movie, “Where Eagles Dare,” starring Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood. It is WELL worth visiting!
Waverly Hospital was not an insane asylum. It became a nursing home for years. We used to go there as kids in the 1970’s. I guess it wasn’t haunted then. Waverly was a place of hope for those with TB, which was a death sentence. As they did not know what caused TB, they tried cutting edge techniques and the latest science to treat those patients. I’ve been to the Popeye set in Malta several times. Malta is an incredible place.

Many years ago Malibu Creek State Park also was the location of a set from the original “Planet of the Apes”, “Sand Pebbles” & part of the the cliff jump scene from “Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid”! I’m sure there were other movie sets there, but these are the only ones I could locate. They are there no longer
I've visited the site of the Fugitive bus/train crash many times in Dillsboro. It's actually within the railyard there along the river, but visible from the road above.
That's some great film history. Well I suppose that while the set is making money.... - Please have all those submerged cars from various movies fished out, if they are still there.
Big Fish came out in 2003!!!
The sets of ancient Egypt from DeMille's 1923 "The Ten Commandments" are still buried in the sand dunes near the Surf, CA.
Why are the movie companies not required to remove all traces of their movie sites after completion?

So Hollywood can build sets but no company wants to build affordable housing?
Field of Dreams was filmed in Dubuque County, Iowa. Dubois County is in Indiana.
Malibu State Park was also the location for the original planet of the ape film and ape city
Ok…so all the hollywood types, who are shouting about saving the world, leave their trash all over the world….
Wow I have never seen anything like this before until now. This was so cool to watch. 😂😂😂😂😂
Mash the series lasted longer than the war.
Thank you for the tour! 😊
Popeye was a very quaint and colorful movie, as well as being a little nostalgic. I enjoyed it.
Amazingly detailed movie set history...
Popeye was one of my favorite movies as a kid.
I’ve been to Waverly Hills a number of times, and it is indeed haunted.
I went to the Bracketville Set and was told it no longer exists. I was las in that area 2023
LOTR's Hobbington was abandoned for a long time --- until the locals realized the value of the place

Government should make Hollywood leave their filming sites like they found them. Burying them in the desert is unexceptional
My favorites are the Jurassic World set and the MASH set.
It seems illegal to me that they leave these structures up for people to get hurt on or maybe they just don’t wanna look at the eyesore
i would totally move into one of those houses in Specter

Awesome, mine was poppy.
#14 I used to go there when it was open. I believe the pterodactyl scene from evolution was filmed there.

Submarine den of "Das Boot" was real build during WW2 by nazis.

Remember the Alamo and all who died there.
Seen Ryans Daughter and been to the Dingle peninsula. That's all.
