0:30
Atlanta area we got about a 2hour drive
0:33
so we're just cruising right along and
0:35
the purpose of this is to check out the
0:37
filming locations of a relatively new
0:40
show that is gaining a lot of popularity
0:42
on the internet and on Netflix You' seen

things H uh Tyler Evans everybody
0:56
Welcome to beautiful Bucks County
0:58
straight ahead is downtown we're
1:01
entering into
1:04
Jackson and this looks almost identical
1:06
as it did in the TV show so if you've
1:09
never seen the show stranger things stop
1:12
the video now or after the video go
1:14
watch the Eight Episodes of the TV show
1:17
it's basically if you like 80s films
1:20
Poltergeist aliens ET what else would
1:23
you compare it to uh definitely a little
1:25
fire starter in there maybe uh a little
1:29
Twin Peaks Twin Peaks maybe some Night
1:31
of the Creeps kind of feel Night of the
1:32
Creeps Stand By Me definely Stand By Me
1:34
The Goonies if you like those things if
1:37
you like 80s Nostalgia and film making
1:40
and those kind of movies go watch
1:42
stranger things now let's start the
1:46
tour this street corner was used as a
1:49
general store the interesting thing is
1:51
this Western Union sign can be seen in
1:53
the TV show as well as this Radio Shack
1:56
sign and that's where wona ryer works
1:59
worked and ran inside to buy a telephone
2:01
and also bought the lights for the
2:03
Interiors of the house in reality it's
2:05
called Jackson drug but if you look
2:07
closely you can see where the other
2:08
lettering when they changed the name
2:11
still is you can see how it's kind of
2:13
busted up and the wood is shredded this
2:16
where NOA Rider would have parked wasn't
2:18
a handicap space back in the 80s or in
2:20
Indiana she walked right through these
2:22
plants then right into this door to buy
2:24
a telephone right there to the left of
2:26
that pillar is where the cash register
2:27
was and the camera would have been
2:30
facing towards us down near that
2:31
Pharmacy and you could see those weird
2:34
beige and reddish pillars in the scene
2:39
here's a photo of the Radio Shack store
2:41
window in the TV show they left these
2:43
stickers right here so there's a display
2:45
window so when they start to film they
2:47
can just rip these stickers out put all
2:49
those old school 80s TVs and phones in
2:51
the display I don't know even the even
2:53
the freaking lights inside look exactly
2:55
the same yeah I know if you look at the
2:56
show the lights in there on the top of
2:59
the roof look identical Jonathan and
3:01
Nancy were walking down this way when
3:03
she sees the movie theater who had been
3:05
spray painted by Steve and his buddies
3:07
they wrote some derogatory terms on top
3:09
of the Marquee the theater is right
3:12
there they both would have ran right
3:14
across the street and then she would
3:16
have stopped basically right about here
3:17
staring up at the Marquee in complete
3:21
shock they would have built the Marquee
3:23
right up here and what I find
3:24
interesting there was a ticket booth
3:26
sitting here and you can see there are
3:28
definite rusted remnants of the ticket
3:31
booth right there on the ground and if
3:32
you head around the back of the theater
3:35
is the infamous alley and check this out
3:38
rental solutions that can be seen in the
3:40
episode when they turn the corner to go
3:42
in the alley still there looks identical
3:45
as it did in the Sha she walks right
3:46
down this alley and she sees that they
3:48
are spray painting something else on
3:50
this exact door and it's cool because
3:52
that little white indentation sign Mark
3:54
is in the shot as well as this power box
3:57
and she slap Steve right there in front
4:00
of those stairs how dare you and to make
4:03
it even more dramatic Jonathan basically
4:06
beats the snot at a Steve right in here
4:09
and check this out there are two filming
4:12
markers still on the ground the tape is
4:15
still on the ground there there and
4:17
there marking the actor spots that's
4:21
insane X does truly Mark the
4:30
Spot it's a little stranger
4:30
things
4:32
momento for my wallet there's also a
4:34
scene where Jonathan is arguing with his
4:36
mom about the funeral and you can see
4:39
the courthouse in the shot and if you
4:41
watch that episode closely you will see
4:44
this Vaper
4:46
shop is in the TV show that's supposed
4:50
to be set in 1983 they did not have
4:52
vaping back then but they just left that
4:55
up and you can see it if you watch the
4:57
TV show if you look very closely driving
5:00
about 30 m up the road to the next spot
5:04
should be a good one directly in front
5:05
of us is the water tower for the
5:07
elementary
5:08
school that was used as Hawkins middle
5:12
school so this was the gym where they
5:15
had the kidy pool and they put all the
5:16
salt in there and then like 11 was like
5:19
a floating around was right inside there
5:22
and look at the awning up there you can
5:24
still see from filming where it says
5:26
Hawkins Middle
5:28
School
5:30
that's insane I'm standing up on this
5:32
bar by the entrance to the gym the doors
5:34
are locked but if you look in the window
5:37
there's that tiger mural that they're
5:40
both sitting and talking in front of and
5:42
they're arranging a plan to kill the
5:44
monster and if you look through this
5:46
window you can see the wooden gemm seats
5:49
where a lot of the scenes happen over
5:51
there to the left and there's the gemm
5:52
floor the Interiors were filmed inside
5:56
this building a lot of stuff from the
5:57
show was built on sound stages but not
5:59
here
6:01
this is where it happen and on the same
6:02
property just a little bit of a ways
6:04
away they use for the exteriors of
6:07
Hawkins High and you can see it looks
6:10
almost identical down to this door frame
6:14
right there in this sticker there would
6:16
have been a bike rack right here and
6:18
take a look up here at the baseball
6:20
field lights which are also seeing in
6:23
this
6:24
screenshot that is freaking rad one of
6:26
those school buses would have been
6:27
parked right here and the kids would
6:29
have been walking in these doors and the
6:31
crazy thing is look inside the paint
6:35
Scheme the yellow green and like guess
6:37
that of orange look exactly the same and
6:40
even the lockers are the same
6:43
lockers from the show right there they
6:45
painted them back to Blue but originally
6:48
these were yellow and there was a bike
6:49
rack right here the kids dropped their
6:51
bikes off started walking this way and
6:53
the bullies turned the corner right here
6:56
on this little concrete slab step right
7:00
step right up ladies and gentlemen step
7:02
right up to the freak Show students
7:04
would have been walking into
7:06
school and there's that famous shot with
7:08
the water tower and the Hawkins Middle
7:11
School sign would have been stationed
7:13
right
7:18
there so
7:18
cool been driving for about another half
7:21
hour or so and we're just about to our
7:24
next
7:29
destination oh yeah this looks super
7:29
super familiar I parked my van on this
7:32
little residential street and it's kind
7:34
of ironic because there's a famous scene
7:36
that happened right here involving vans
7:39
that resembles very similar to a
7:42
throwback in homage to ET the way the
7:44
scene starts off Lucas rides his bike
7:47
coming this way passes these houses and
7:50
rides straight down this way meeting the
7:52
other kids who come out of this driveway
7:54
and they start heading that way 11 uses
7:56
her powers to make one of the vans
7:59
completely flip over don't flip my van
8:02
man please my van does not need to be
8:04
flipped how amazing would it be if I got
8:06
a nose bleed though just
8:18
randomly the kids are riding their bikes
8:18
this way all of a sudden the Vans turn
8:20
that corner and they're chasing them
8:21
right down to the bottom of this little
8:23
Hill once they get towards the bottom of
8:25
the hill another van comes out from that
8:27
little driveway wh there's a random dog
8:30
running through here and as the van
8:31
approaches the kids you never know
8:32
what's going to happen and then all of
8:34
the sudden the famous van flip
8:39
Happened Here Comes the dog he's
8:42
following us his owner's calling him
8:44
right now where are you go home Max Max
8:49
come here what are you
8:51
doing absolutely not I'm kind of blown
8:54
away by this right now this was the
8:56
exact spot that the van and flew through
9:00
the air right up here above their
9:04
heads and you'll notice there is a new
9:07
school looking satellite
9:09
dish in the show they transferred it and
9:12
made it look like a 1983 satellite dish
9:15
but look how the houses look exactly the
9:17
same watch out for that van Tyler
9:20
there's a van flipping over your head
9:23
you got to sell it you got to sell
9:26
it I did it you did it Tyler you just
9:29
recreated one of the greatest scenes
9:32
from stranger things driving down the
9:34
exact road that the van would have
9:36
flipped and the van would have flipped
9:39
right up there so 3 2 1
9:45
flip we didn't flip well I wasn't trying
9:48
hard enough with my mind Powers that's
9:50
true you weren't I know I was kind of
9:52
distracted by how humid it is outside
9:55
why is there an Area 51 presents bus on
9:59
the side of the road now heading into
10:00
Emy University for the next spot you
10:03
might recognize this one don't look now
10:05
but right over there is Hawkins National
10:09
Lab the creepy
10:12
place from the show that's off limits
10:16
and this gate is
10:17
open we're driving in whoa this is crazy
10:20
look at this here it is dude stranger
10:31
things it's where it all happened that
10:31
is definitely cool we're not supposed to
10:32
be down here but it's cool to just check
10:35
it out from a
10:48
distance the neighborhood we're in is
10:48
where Lonnie Lives who is Jonathan
10:50
byer's father and the house can only be
10:53
seen a couple of times in one episode I
10:57
think it's right down here it's cool
10:59
because in that episode you can see this
11:01
train sitting on the train tracks and
11:03
right up here on the left hand side is
11:05
the house and that's it right there with
11:07
that little awning that's Lonnie's house
11:09
9:30 and the residents in this area not
11:13
real happy about you driving through and
11:14
filming their house so we are making our
11:23
exit over behind that tree line is a
11:23
huge Quarry that was used in the movie
11:26
unfortunately it is very fenced off they
11:28
will not let anyone on the property that
11:31
is where the Drone that is inside there
11:34
comes in I'm basically going to fly it
11:36
over the trees over these power lines
11:39
and get an aerial view of the Quarry to
11:43
show basically some of the like epic
11:46
scenes from stranger things were filmed
11:48
in this Quarry where he jumps off and
11:51
then 11 brings him back elevates him
11:53
back up to the side of the cliff all
11:55
that was in this Quarry thank goodness
11:58
for the
12:07
Majestic Benny's
12:07
Burgers you can see it looks pretty
12:09
similar to how it did of course the sign
12:11
up there on the awning has changed from
12:14
Tiffany's to Benny's Burger in the show
12:16
but this is basically where the police
12:18
arrived to check out the body the dead
12:20
body inside I got some fried okra mash
12:22
potatoes and gravy chicken fried steak
12:25
Tyler got the same thing and you know
12:26
where we are right now right Tyler I'm
12:29
familiar we're actually eating inside
12:31
the diner where a lot of scenes happened
12:35
including the table that was sitting
12:37
right here remember the scene where El
12:40
was sitting right there chowing down on
12:42
the burger how can I forget and then
12:44
also what happened right there is Benny
12:46
was found dead right there at that spot
12:49
and you could see the the little
12:53
entryway into the kitchen now the table
12:54
that is sitting in the spot is not the
12:56
table they use for filming the table
12:59
they use for filming is tucked away over
13:01
there in the corner but you can see the
13:04
chairs are exactly the same and the
13:07
table is the same as well looks like
13:09
they just moved the table from one spot
13:12
to the next and as she was being chased
13:14
11 would have busted through these doors
13:16
down this hallway took a left and then
13:18
ran outside and if you look closely in
13:20
those scenes you'll notice that these
13:22
drapes are exactly the same the exit
13:25
sign is the same
13:27
and this coat rack right here around the
13:30
back is the side door which was seen a
13:33
couple times when Benny was emptying out
13:35
the trash over here as well as when 11
13:38
Runs Out runs back into the woods which
13:41
is where originally she stepped out of
13:44
as you walk behind the diner into the
13:46
woods basically what they did is they
13:48
set the camera up right here from this
13:52
angle and the really interesting fact is
13:55
you can see these exact branches in the
13:59
shot as they are giving the perspective
14:01
of her walking out of the woods that is
14:06
amazing here's a fun fact the girl that
14:08
rang up our order in there has never
14:11
seen the
14:24
show and this empty building here played
14:24
the part of the police station in fact
14:28
flag pole is still here you can still
14:30
see where the police station emblem was
14:34
right there on the side look at this the
14:37
indentation is still there and even
14:40
cooler than that look you can see where
14:42
the sticker was designating this the
14:46
police station look that is a badge
14:48
that's like a a sheriff badge well
14:50
there's one more giveaway Adam oh up
14:52
here do you see this sign on the door
14:55
holy cow yeah look at that says C fast
14:59
only knock it's really hard to see as
15:01
well but there was lettering here on the
15:03
wall that said city of Hawkins Indiana
15:08
you could faintly see it in the wall and
15:10
they still have the nails that held the
15:13
sign
15:14
up right here on the side of the wall
15:17
Hopper would have pulled right up parked
15:19
in front and walked through those doors
15:21
he walks in this door that is locked but
15:23
as he walks in you will see on the wall
15:25
there there used to be a water fountain
15:27
that was basically a prop for the show
15:29
they removed the water fountain and that
15:31
window you see on the left that was
15:33
where the secretary's office was he
15:35
walked a couple more feet took a left
15:37
and he went to the main area of the
15:39
police station he was on the other side
15:40
of this wall walked right by these
15:42
windows picture him on the inside stood
15:45
right by this pillar inside there got a
15:48
cup of coffee and as he was walking out
15:50
he delivered that famous line mornings
15:52
are for coffee contemplation a sign that
15:55
said police was right across here this
15:57
awning has been been added since then
15:59
and then over in the corner there's
16:01
another one of the emblems you can see
16:03
the discoloration in the brick there was
16:06
another emblem right here on the far
16:08
left corner of the building pretty good
16:09
stuff hey wait Adam actually there's one
16:12
more thing you missed one last little
16:13
piece of Hopper that we haven't looked
16:15
at yet
16:23
sh he was
16:24
here he was here and look at that
16:27
Sunset very
16:29
beautiful sufficient enough to
16:32
say Vlog over
