LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! I love that you found the locations from the opening and St Mary's church/Rome church. We've (Me and the wife) also visited some of these locations in 2015. We had an assault rifle pointed at us when we reached through the railing bars at the American embassy to snap some pics. Once I showed the American soldier our printed out stills from The Omen, he allowed us into the gate for 2 minutes to get a few snaps. We also knocked at the Vicarage belonging to the church in Staines, and asked the Vicar if we could look inside the the church, as we love old church architecture. We decided not to tell the truth, that we were fans of The Omen, out of fear he'd tell us NO CHANCE! It was actually he who mentioned The Omen!! LOL *"Hey, you might be interested to know, that this church has been visited by a Hollywood legend, Gregory Peck, when they filmed The Omen here in the 1970s!!"* We had to act and say... *"NO WAY!! SERIOUSLY!!?"* LOL When we met Damien/Harvey Stephens and told him that tale, he laughed and said *"You lied to a Vicar?! oh, you're definitely going to Hell to meet my Dad for that one!!"* He's a great guy who we went for a beer with. We've also met David Warner and Elizabeth Shepherd/Joan Hart from Damien Omen II

This was great. The Omen is one of my favorite classics. Also, Shaun of the Dead!
Thank you
