I remember when I first showed this movie to my wife when she was my girlfriend. She still brings up how I traumatized her by showing her this film and resents me to this day. This was her first and last David Lynch movie. Thanks Sean for the video!
@malfuncsean The field with the ear is the rugby ground at 209 Lake Drive, Wilmington. The trail entrance is directly opposite the entrance to Snipes Academy of Arts & Design, which can also be seen at the beginning of the film with the kids crossing the street. Not my info but managed to find out the location. Should have asked me dude. Great episode as usual. 👍
Barbary Coast is the best bar there.. well, was in 05. That was Brandon Lee's favorite when filming The Crow. I went to all the locations, the staircase outside of Fun Boy was the alley in between Port City Java, and the apparently now defunct Screen Gems tour. All they had at the time was One Tree Hill sets and a short film on their history but, never mentioned The Crow or Stage 4. Ofcourse multiple hurricanes repeatedly destroyed the Backlot and at the time most recently Martin Lawrence's Black Knight set. I believe the apartments also used the 4th floor for Albrecht's apartment. Love your work and collections,Kind Sir!🤘😊
Blue Velvet is the kind of film that darkly washes over a person. I was almost surprised at the conflicting feelings when I first saw it in the 80's - like these are things I should not be seeing. Glossy, cheerful Americana is peeled back to reveal a festering and sickening rot beneath. Curiosity and innocence, represented by Jeffrey and Sandy, meet a wounded victim trapped by depravity, sadism, and evil. There is no telling how it will end. David Lynch was true to his vision and created a masterpiece for the ages. Thank you for showing the filming locations where I'm sure many dramas continue behind the closed doors in "Lumberton." I wonder how much the brief river scene location has changed. The Frank's Place building and lot looked older and more worn out in the movie than it does today.
The river scene I wish I had grabbed. I realized I missed it when I got back to California. It’s easy to find. The camera is looking across the river towards the back of Barbary Coast aka Ben’s Place. You can see it from street view in Google Earth. It hasn’t changed much.
The guy that almost nailed you with the caulking gun was probably a friend of the guy that kept flipping you off when you were filming the Halloween III location used for the Rose of Shannon Motel. The dude is still pissed 😄
Thanks Sean for finding all these locations while you were doing the Halloween Kills locations video. I've always mentioned this film when discussing Twin Peaks. Because if not for this film we wouldn't have the other. It's weird that as time goes on this film gets a little less known. It shouldn't tho. It's the perfect example of a slow burn, modern noir. Well Take care and see you in the next HHG!
I've had this intro song stuck in my head the last month, and I don't even fucking care. XD You're the man, Sean! Love your locations, love your videos, I'm a binge-watching fool over here!
I just live for your intro. This movie by far was one of the oddest movies I've ever watched. To be honest I found it deeply disturbing and very sad which tells me that the acting was fantastic. Had the mood and the characters not been so believable I don't think I would have finished watching it. Something that really stands out to me is how beautiful the neighborhoods were that they filmed in and how amazing you well the homes have been cared for.
This is fantastic, Sean! Absolutely does David Lynch belong in the horror cannon. So many of his films have terrifying horror imagery. Rather than name-drop the obvious ones, I'm gonna send a shout-out to a Lynch film barely anyone saw: Inland Empire. Love that you include this in HHG. Keep up the good work!
You would think, Twin Peaks has such a huge cult following. I knew a woman who dressed up as the fish in the percolator as a Halloween costume. Talk about an obscure costume!
Haha I live in that apartment building in Wilmington. Built in 1905, lots of crap has filmed here. Great old apartments. Love this building. 420 Market St!
I'm going to be in bad taste here, but I fell in love with the guy in Showgirls. First time I came across him. I love his character there. My type of dude. Abusive, evil, and all around bad. He pulls that off very well. Nicely done. Blue Velvet is a classic though. The locations are still there. I'm impressed, and the soul is still there, to a point. Lovely to see.
Death by caulk gun! I’m glad it missed, Whew! Thank you for another great video Sean. I like the way you use your camera to mimic the movement of the original movies camera work so it makes it easy for us to catch the history. The part where you said I’m still volunteering the information is why we love you man! Awesome close reminds me of lost highway👍🤘🏻
Perfection as usual! I’m a new fan. Currently trying to get caught up on the podcast, just finished the episode with pj soles she’s amazing like I imagined. But I was curious if you’d ever talk/ touch base a little more on how you got into the position your in for your line of work and what inspired horrors hollowed ground!?
Sean, so glad you were not hit by that “ufo”!!! another amazing video! what I remember most about this film is feeling freaked out by Dennis Hopper sucking on that gas!! Lol, the look on his face was creepy!! sorry for loss of JC. Glad he is in the Horrors HG’s intro!!!🙏🏽🤘🏻❤️🔥
Been to most of these locations myself, was many years ago, could walk up the back staircase at Dorthy's then, the big gate wasn't there. I don't know 100% for sure, but I heard the shots of Jeffrey and Sandy sitting in the Slow Club were actually filmed in a club called The Mad Monk which has since burned down, again not sure but I played at that venue many times and it looks like it, can see the wooden beams, PA speakers behind Frank which means he would have had his back to the real stage in that club, but it had a big open area that would have been ideal for filming in. After the club burned down it reopened at another location and I saw Dennis Hopper there once at a BODY COUNT show (I think Dennis was living near there for a time), Ice T called him out, "My man Dennis Hopper in the house... He'll fuck anything that moves!". Wilmington is a fun town, thanks for making this.
Hey sean big fan man!! Got a weird question, if you were asked to send one movie to another universe for them to watch,what would that one movie be? You rock brother!
@@malfuncsean Nice man have to agree with ya on that one. One last question man, Have you ever meet or talked to rob Bottin? He such a brilliant dude making all the iconic monsters, just found out he worked on the movie seven. Have a great weekend bro!!
@@joedragon8245 I met him once in 1992. I got an autograph and a photo with him. He is a very private guy that has left the business and apparently doesn't want to be found. It's a shame because he has such a huge fan base.
How much longer Sean until you upload those (American werewolf in London) filming locations video cause I'm jonesing over here to see that pub location seen so much so that I got the shakes sike jk but seriously can't wait?
This is what the internet is for. How do you find these locations? I mean scenes from Child's Play were supposedly filmed in my town Kankakee, Il at Shapiro mental hospital but that really was always a rumor I have no proof.
Hey Sean thank you for posting I look forward to you're videos, you are the best at what you do I'll make sure to share with friends and family, stay cool cheers (✯ᴗ✯)
Is Jeffrey Beaumont's house the same house used in One Tree Hill where Brooke's foster child Sam goes to live with her biological mother? Is Sandy's house also used in One Tree Hill where Felix and Anna lived and in Stephen King's Cat's Eye as Drew Barrymore's house?
I shot 3 episodes while I was there. Halloween Kills & Blue Velvet being two of them. I didn’t do Maximum Overdrive but I did do Trick or Treat. That one is coming soon.
@@malfuncsean you said in the video “that is pretty cool stuff if you ask me” then you say “No one asks me if this is all pretty cool stuff” so here i am asking it haha (sorry i was being silly😂)
I hate to keep harping on Halloween Kills, but why didn't that movie look as good as Blue Velvet? I mean, you can't get a more cinematic Haddonfield than Wilmington. I'll be honest, Blue Velvet isn't exactly my thing, but the cinematography is brilliant.
@@crush41gb I didn't know that. Not a big fan of that film but have seen it. If you were fishing for what the other episode I mentioned was that wasn't it.
@@malfuncsean I remember you mentioning that I think but, I got excited when you showed that. I wasn't sure if The Crow fell into the horror category and I know Dream A Little Dream doesn't lol! You did Maximum Overdrive but, the possibilities are endless and I can't wait! Do you mind if I ask why you aren't a fan of The Crow? Was it material or production issues or just not a fan in general? Thank you kindly for your time, Kind Sir! :)
@@crush41gb I'm a huge fan of The Crow. Not sure why you think I'm not. I would totally do The Crow but most of it was on the studio back lot. Maybe I'll see what I can find and put something together for it. Also I haven't done Maximum Overdrive before. Might be mixing up someone else's location video on that one.
Oh, when you said not a huge fan of that film I thought you meant The Crow, I'm sorry. I must be mixing up Maximum with Grimmlife or going2themovies I think. The ideal Cemetery factory is still there and the most out of the way location. You were at a couple in this video and the fire escape are probably the only ones not at screen gems. Ofcourse, nothing to really see there even if you got in but, you already know that. :) I'd love to see yours for both btw. You do super fantastic work!
@@malfuncsean it's a scifi and horror model convention in Louisville. Last year was canceled. They have sci-fi and horror celebrities there every year. Krista Marta was there the year before. Greg Nicotero is a regular. He loves the classic Aurora monster model kits.
@@CGBlade I know about it I’ve just never attended and they’ve never asked for any of my clients as guests. However their guest list seems pretty small and specific to more artist related guests.
@@malfuncsean oh absolutely. It's small as far as guests. We mainly get model related guests and a couple of celebrities. It's a blast though if you like this type of art.
That's a great video! Blue Velvet is one of my all-time favorites.I think we see the actual interior of Barbary Coast in this deleted scene: ua-cam.com/video/s_WgJSCtI5k/v-deo.html
My favourite film ever. Absolute masterpiece!
I remember when I first showed this movie to my wife when she was my girlfriend. She still brings up how I traumatized her by showing her this film and resents me to this day. This was her first and last David Lynch movie.

Show her The Straight Story to appease yourself.
Huh. When I showed it to my girlfriend, we both couldn't stop laughing. She loved it.

Thank you for these videos Sean!!!
Oh, Mommy! Baby wants to....
Awesome video and locations of an amazing film.
I'm going to rewatch the movie tonight and then watch this episode. Excellent choice for a Horror's Hallowed Grounds episode. Thank you Sean Clark.
Haha I live in that apartment building in Wilmington. Built in 1905, lots of crap has filmed here. Great old apartments. Love this building. 420 Market St!
Awesome surprise today, definitely loved this video
Awesome episode Sean!! Thank you
Heyy sean!! 💖 sending love and positive vibes ur way bro. Bless you for everything u do for us fans. Ur hard work is appreciated.
This si great! Thank you Sean! I hope to see many more vids like this in the future. CG
Great video once again Sean, and was nice to see an appearance of my favorite car of all time, a Series 3 Jaguar. :)
The music for this movie reminds me of Twin Peaks. RIP the great Dennis Hopper. Thanks Sean for another masterpiece vid
thanks Sean for another fantastic filming locations video,. I hope you have a good weekend
Thanks for another great vid! It's always good to see another Horror's Hallowed Grounds.

Love when u do filming location vids. You're channel is amazing and I appreciate what u do
Thank you Sean for showing us film history I really like the location film vids
I’ve been trying to get the ear from the owners for years, settled for a replica. Thanks you for doing this, I love this film.
Pretty damn cool, indeed! Even though all of us who enjoy your work aren't there the moment you did this, we are still right there with ya! Thumbs up!

Fantastic video, as always Sean! BTW, when you get a chance, I'm dying to see more of your movie posters collection. Love those videos!
I would love to see more Lynch locations… Lost Highway, Wild at heart, mulholland dr. Hell take a trip to snoqualmie and do a Peaks episode!
Nice dude🤙🙌
Frank: “What kind of beer do you like?”
Jeffrey: “Heineken.”

Dang you almost got cold caulked ! 🤣🤣
Dam brother you know your movies have you done house of 1000 corpses or devil's rejects that would be sweet love your channel 😁
Blue Velvet has been in lots of horror reference books (ie--The Gore Score, Terror on Tape, etc), and Fangoria covered it, so...horror film.
Dream a little dream
I know the stunt Coordinator from this film...I'm going to forward it on to him. David Boushey.
You are awesome I don't care what people say about you. Lol

Intruding into someone’s backyard just because they don’t have a fence is very bad. Bad form. 😡
