welcome everyone Adam the woo here
0:03
coming to you from Sparta Mississippi
0:05
wait a second that cannot be right I'm
0:08
not in Sparta Mississippi where am I oh
0:12
this must be correct I am in Mystic
0:15
Falls Virginia no I'm not I'm not in
0:18
Mystic Falls Virginia I am in Covington
0:23
Georgia now showing history hauntings
0:26
and Hollywood starring Covington Georgia
0:31
the
0:31
self-proclaimed Hollywood of the South
0:35
that's what they actually call
0:36
themselves The Hollywood of the South
0:38
and that's for good reason because
0:40
there's been so many television shows
0:42
commercials and feature films here
0:45
filmed that they have actually earned
0:48
that title Hollywood of the South now
0:51
it's time to get in my van and take an
0:53
unedited vicarious tour of cumington
0:57
Georgia join me shall you it's my second
0:59
channel daily vog Channel very rarely do
1:01
I actually use the join me shall you
1:05
phrase on The Daily Vlog but today here
1:09
on the daily woo I've used it I got to
1:12
move fast cuz I got a lot to show you I
1:14
got oh I turned that down what was that
1:16
we got music on there I don't know what
1:18
was cranked up on the radio didn't have
1:20
time to listen in anyway got into
1:23
Covington last night cumington is
1:26
actually a really awesome town There's a
1:29
lot of places that I am visited many
1:32
times across the US in my travels in the
1:35
last few years and Covington is probably
1:37
in the top five or the top 10 of places
1:39
that I like to just do little pit stops
1:41
at stop in because there's a lot of
1:43
movie history and television history
1:45
that I am fans of the shows and the
1:48
movies that were filmed here plus it's a
1:50
nice area everyone here is very
1:52
kindhearted it's a southern town
1:54
southern hospitality at its
1:57
finest however I need to get across this
1:59
road Road hopefully someone lets me in
2:02
okay we're cruising along so basically
2:04
that was the little information area if
2:07
you go inside there's a little gift shop
2:09
if you go in the
2:10
Covington Georgia not gift shop but the
2:14
information center you can get some
2:16
information about different movies that
2:18
were filmed here if you go in there tell
2:20
them Adam the woo sent you and also tell
2:22
them that I've actually been here and
2:23
filmed a couple of
2:26
videos who am I going this way yes this
2:28
is not a one-way Road think about riding
2:30
in areas where you're not familiar with
2:33
is that you do not know if roads are one
2:36
way or not one way when you're in your
2:38
hometown you know every road like the
2:40
back of your hand however when you
2:43
travel around and you're not familiar
2:45
thoroughly familiar with an area it's
2:48
very difficult to actually figure out
2:50
where you're going sometimes you turn
2:51
down a one-way road which I've done
2:52
before people start Hawking and waving
2:56
and saying where you going you're going
2:57
the wrong way anyway all right cruising
3:00
this
3:01
way and I need to start this tour the
3:04
problem with unedited Vlogs well there's
3:06
not really a problem they're pretty
3:08
awesome because whatever happens happens
3:10
and I'm glad that you guys are honing in
3:13
on what is happening in this Vlog
3:16
because the beauty of unedited is the
3:19
fact that no matter what I say even if
3:21
it is incorrect sometimes I goof up
3:23
definitely research the facts that I'm
3:25
telling you the beauty of satellite view
3:27
a lot of times I'll try to tell you what
3:28
roads I'm on so you can go on satellite
3:31
view or street view and you can kind of
3:32
follow along with me on what we're doing
3:36
anyway so basically we're cruising a
3:39
little bit away from the downtown area
3:41
we're going to end the Vlog back in
3:43
downtown but first I wanted to show you
3:45
something that is not on the Covington
3:47
List look at this Hollywood can you see
3:50
this Hollywood of the South see that
3:55
right there Hollywood of the South see I
3:59
was not making that up they actually
4:00
call this place I don't know what these
4:02
guys in the road are doing they're
4:04
hammering a nail into the concrete which
4:07
is very unusual okay couldn't show you
4:09
that because I am driving I don't want
4:10
to grab the phone Hollywood of the South
4:13
which is very interesting as well I'm
4:14
rambling a lot I was in California 10
4:18
days ago between a week and a week and a
4:20
half ago I was actually in the real
4:22
Hollywood a Mecca of movie goodness
4:25
filmed in Hollywood on the west coast
4:29
but this is closer to the east coast
4:31
Covington Georgia is like centralized
4:33
Georgia it's about 20 to 30 minutes from
4:35
Atlanta and I like it much better than
4:37
Atlanta Atlanta is very hustle and
4:39
bustle where Covington is very relaxed
4:43
very awesome and that's why a lot of
4:44
directors movie Producers Studios
4:47
independent filmmakers have chosen this
4:51
area to make movies and the first stop I
4:53
want to show you it's from Rob Zombies
4:55
Halloween 2 a lot of people call it
4:58
H2 and the house the Michael Myers house
5:02
is actually right right over here this
5:06
is Michael Myers's
5:16
house
5:16
Shong that's Michael Myers's house he's
5:19
an evil kid who turned into an evil man
5:22
directed by Rob Zombie the first Rob
5:25
Zombie rehashing reimagination was
5:28
actually pretty decent but the second
5:30
one a lot of people consider to not be a
5:32
very good film I kind of enjoy it but I
5:34
think it had a little too much Gore for
5:37
me less not a lot of story and a little
5:39
too much gore that's just my opinion
5:41
however I do still enjoy Rob zombies
5:43
movies and that was the first stop on
5:46
our Covington
5:48
tour Rob Zombies Halloween 2 however you
5:52
look in this book here there's very
5:55
little facts there are actually quite a
5:56
few facts about Covington but zombies
6:00
Halloween 2 the 2009 version I think it
6:05
was is nowhere listed in this I don't
6:07
know if they want to acknowledge it
6:08
maybe they're not happy with it however
6:10
Friday the 13th Part 6 was actually
6:13
filmed around Covington hard labor Creek
6:16
State Park I believe is the name of it I
6:17
filmed a video in 2011 with my friend
6:20
Ginger out there look up Friday the 136
6:23
filming locations Adam the woo on my
6:26
main Channel you can see all the
6:28
locations from that in great detail as
6:31
well as another location here in
6:33
comington I did with my friend gender in
6:35
2011 which I will tell you about
6:37
momentarily but first let's pull over
6:40
into this parking spot we're going to
6:42
park right here enough rambling enough
6:45
in the van you guys don't want to see in
6:46
the van you want to see the sights and
6:49
sounds of Covington let me get a little
6:52
Swig of drink let me show you this
7:01
Covington
7:01
oh man caffeine in the morning is so
7:03
good you recognize that view maybe do
7:07
you know what that sound is highness
7:09
those are the shrieking eels and this is
7:13
the shrieking
7:15
shun Covington City skyline if you want
7:20
to call it it's not really a Skyline
7:23
it's basically just a courthouse Tower
7:25
which you've recognized from countless
7:27
TV commercials feature films movies
7:30
wonderful television shows you've
7:33
actually seen this exact shot and
7:35
speaking of Friday the 13th Part 6 in
7:37
the video I did I neglected to show this
7:40
in my video I don't know why it slipped
7:42
my mind but this is actually the police
7:45
station where Tommy Jarvis came running
7:48
out it used to be a library now it's a
7:49
people's Home Medical Center Tommy
7:52
Jarvis came out got in a sports car
7:54
peeled off into the darkness and into
7:57
the rain and Into the Night of Friday
7:59
the 13th scariness if you will let me
8:02
check to see if my door is locked all
8:04
right my door is locked speaking of
8:05
night and scariness something else
8:07
happened in the night this right here is
8:11
the police station from In the Heat of
8:13
the Night the TV show that was on for
8:16
gosh almost 10 years starring Carol o'
8:20
Conor from All In The Family the famous
8:23
actor the gifted actor Carol o Conor
8:26
walked these streets and filmed many
8:29
episodes right here the very first
8:31
season was actually filmed in Louisiana
8:33
and then they had a little
8:35
disgruntling or the director I can't
8:38
remember which someone in the upper
8:40
nether region management of In the Heat
8:42
of the Night got in an argument they
8:44
fired them kept Carol o Conor as a star
8:46
and they moved their home base of
8:48
filming right here to
8:51
Covington Covington Georgia in fact if
8:54
you look at the opening scenes you ever
8:56
hear the theme song in the heat Heat of
8:59
the Night one of the shots from the
9:02
opening credit just go on YouTube and
9:03
look up In the Heat of the Night intro
9:06
credit sequence something of that nature
9:08
you can actually see this exact shot
9:10
right here there's a guy's face and his
9:13
name the star and that building right
9:15
there is in the shot and another shot
9:18
from the intro whoa there's cars coming
9:20
by very quickly I almost ran out in the
9:22
road last thing I want to do is get
9:24
mowed down by a car in front of the
9:27
Friday the 13th police station and the
9:30
Carol OK Conor In the Heat of the Night
9:33
police station there's another shot from
9:35
the opening sequence so go on YouTube
9:37
look up In the Heat of the
9:39
Night intro and you can actually see
9:42
that exact
9:47
shot you might be thinking to yourself
9:47
I've never seen In the Heat of the Night
9:49
probably the only reason I've really
9:50
seen it is when I would go to my
9:52
grandmother's in Mississippi years and
9:54
years ago as a child she loved in the
9:57
heat of the night so I think I saw
9:58
probably half of the episodes
10:00
vicariously while sitting there as a
10:02
child watching my grandmother enjoy okay
10:05
look at this watching my grandmother
10:07
enjoy In the Heat of the Night so this
10:09
area kind of reminds me of my
10:10
grandmother a little bit how much she
10:12
loved that show which is really awesome
10:15
okay so back to
10:21
this there's a little placard right
10:21
there not a placard really but it's in
10:23
the concrete says In the Heat of the
10:26
Night the roads are actually l
10:29
with all of this memorabilia and facts
10:32
factoids Stars if you will Hollywood on
10:35
the west coast actually has their stars
10:38
on Hollywood Boulevard they have their
10:40
Stars here but they're not Stars they're
10:41
basically just little concrete
10:43
octagons right over here I'm not going
10:46
to have I don't have time to show you
10:48
all of the different names that are
10:50
actually all along here but I do want to
10:52
show you some of the stuff that was
10:55
filmed in the Town Square straight ahead
11:03
okay here we go remember what I was
11:03
saying about Friday the
11:11
13th Friday the 13th Part
11:11
6 really cool to actually do that
11:13
filming location make sure you go over
11:15
to my main Channel Adam the woo you can
11:16
see Friday the 13th part six filming
11:19
locations I hit every spot except for
11:22
that spot right there and another spot
11:24
where he made the phone call which is on
11:25
the outskirts of town most my filming
11:27
locations dealt with the camp Daniel
11:30
Morgan at hard labor State Park but
11:33
enough about Friday the 13th there's
11:34
another one right down there there's so
11:36
many different movies and television
11:39
shows that have been filmed here in fact
11:41
Sweet Home
11:47
Alabama Sweet Home Alabama with Reese
11:47
Witherspoon was actually some of the
11:48
scenes were actually filmed here as well
11:51
the problem is we're not in Alabama
11:53
we're actually in Georgia and yes I am
11:57
jaywalking right now look at that it
11:58
says no walking but when you're in
12:01
Alabama Georgia or Mystic Falls Virginia
12:05
or wherever I am Covington Georgia I'm
12:07
so confused by all of these names I
12:11
guess you could just jaywalk I don't
12:12
know I don't know how the police are
12:13
normally
12:15
Rosco Rosco P train circles this
12:20
entire Covington Georgia Circle in fact
12:23
that's right that is the courthouse from
12:26
The Dukes of Hazard just the good old
12:29
boys never meaning no harm always been
12:33
in trouble with the law since the day
12:35
they was born Boss Hog Rosco the Duke
12:38
boys all cruising around this little
12:42
area right here in fact I also did a
12:44
filming location in November of
12:47
2011 right here of The Dukes of Hazard
12:50
we're crossing the road this is a very
12:52
interesting intersection if you will so
12:55
go on YouTube look up Friday the 13th
12:58
Part 6 filming locations and look up the
13:00
Dukes of Hazard filming locations Adam
13:03
the woo on the Adam the woo Channel and
13:05
you can see a lot more detailed area of
13:10
vicinity and where I was but I do want
13:12
to give you a brief walk through really
13:15
awesome the sun is coming down it's
13:16
still somewhat early it's almost
13:18
lunchtime there's actually some stores
13:21
selling some memorabilia from The Dukes
13:23
of Hazard from Friday the 13th Part 6
13:26
and more importantly more into this
13:29
genre and demographic of a younger Group
13:32
which I've actually never seen the show
13:34
next to the courthouse is one of the
13:37
exterior filming locations of The
13:40
Vampire
13:42
Diaries Mystic Grill inside the mytic
13:45
grill is an exact replica replication
13:50
replication of the inside of what they
13:53
use in the show which is on a sound
13:54
stage but the whole exteriors are filmed
13:57
all around here there's the the
13:58
courthouse from the show there's
14:00
actually the grill from the show and all
14:03
of these areas here in the courthouse
14:07
can actually be seen in the show in fact
14:10
speaking of another movie there was a
14:11
movie called Run Ronnie run and they had
14:14
a famous scene right here where he gives
14:16
a speech and you can see this pillar of
14:19
goodness and you can see the courthouse
14:21
behind him in the shot so many movies
14:25
just look up Covington Georgia filming
14:27
location Covington Georgia filming and
14:30
you will see so many that I can't even
14:31
mention in this Vlog I'm just trying to
14:33
knock out a few of the key ones that
14:36
maybe you will probably know and love so
14:38
there we have it right there filming
14:40
locations from The Vampire Diaries which
14:43
I don't know is that kind of like a
14:45
television version of Twilight I am not
14:48
really too sure another movie Bert
14:51
Reynolds was in a movie what movie was
14:53
he in Cannonball Run with dom deloise
14:57
remember Dom deloise who passed away not
15:00
too long ago very funny guy in a lot of
15:02
comedies he was in Blazing Saddles I
15:04
think he was in The Secret of nim he did
15:06
one of the voices in secret of them and
15:07
of course Cannonball Run and smoky in
15:10
the Bandit too one of the famous scenes
15:12
right here from Cannonball Run where
15:14
Bert Reynolds and Dom deloise fly a
15:18
small miniature plane and they fly it in
15:22
from the sky right up
15:24
there so imagine a small plane flying in
15:28
Landing right where that car
15:30
is and going right down that
15:34
way so that's basically what happened
15:36
the plane landed took off and in the
15:39
shot there's a lot of town people it's
15:40
actually weird because when they filmed
15:42
it they obviously didn't clear the
15:43
streets so there's tons and tons of
15:45
locals that can be seen in the shot
15:47
dangling out of those windows right
15:49
there dangling out of those windows
15:53
people dangling out of the windows
15:55
standing up there on that little railing
15:57
and that stairwell way and there used to
16:00
be a store on the back side of that
16:02
building which if you look on Google
16:04
Earth the store is gone that was a store
16:06
that Dom deloise ran inside got the
16:09
sixpack of beer the plane was still
16:11
running the wind was whipping up from
16:13
the engine blades ran in that store the
16:16
store is now gone but when the plane
16:18
takes off imagine this scene pause this
16:21
go on YouTube and look up the scene or
16:24
if you have the video Cannonball run the
16:25
DVD the plane takes off straight that
16:28
way way and takes off Skyhigh in the air
16:31
at the craziest angle of all time back
16:35
to Halloween 2 Rob
16:37
Zombie there's another spot right over
16:39
here which I think was the store that
16:41
the female lead worked at I think it was
16:44
a bookstore was actually right here and
16:47
there was actually a shot in the movie
16:49
where they did a really cool what do
16:51
they call that when they put a camera in
16:53
a spot and time lapse that's what it was
16:56
called they put the time-lapse camera
16:57
right on the corner of that building so
17:00
in the movie you can actually see the
17:02
Town Square all decorated for Halloween
17:04
cuz it is called Halloween 2 the camera
17:06
would have been right up
17:09
there and the camera angle would have
17:11
shown all of this so you can go on
17:15
YouTube or you can just look up your
17:16
Halloween 2 video if you have it and you
17:19
can see the shot which would have been a
17:20
crane shot but I'm thinking they
17:22
actually put the
17:23
camera right up
17:26
there all right cuz one other thing down
17:29
here which I'm not sure if we're going
17:31
the right way but hopefully we
17:34
do right down here is another spot from
17:38
The Vampire Diaries I think it is I've
17:41
never seen the The Vampire Diaries this
17:43
should probably be where I tell you
17:45
about what I've been doing still
17:47
cruising around in the van going to be
17:49
in the van a few more days until I get
17:51
to Pigeon Forge and then I'm probably
17:54
going to try to find like a cheap hotel
17:55
for like a week or so be hanging out at
17:57
Dollywood hopefully going to try to hit
17:58
the Dukes of Hazard Museum and film a
18:01
main Channel video there in fact I've
18:04
also started eding another main Channel
18:07
video for the Adam the woo Channel
18:09
started filming editing that yesterday
18:11
doing a lot of filming doing a lot of
18:13
editing okay wait a second wait a second
18:15
this might be it this might be
18:18
it I don't know where I'm going you know
18:21
what though I don't mind walking around
18:22
aimlessly because it is actually
18:25
fantastically nice out here the weather
18:27
is nice
18:28
there's none of that thick Florida
18:30
humidity yet it is kind of cool in
18:32
Florida but it's definitely a lot cooler
18:34
here in Georgia it's very nice the sun
18:36
is out birds are chirping even though
18:38
you can't hear them because of that loud
18:40
truck that's back there and I might be
18:43
incorrect maybe maybe you can help me I
18:47
don't know if this is it it's not it I
18:50
thought that was the house there H I
18:54
don't know where I am I thought that
18:57
maybe this
18:59
Mansion right
19:07
there I thought that that was actually
19:09
mansion from Vampire Diaries see I need
19:12
to actually watch the show oh no I'm
19:15
wrong the vampire diary's Mansion is
19:18
straight
19:19

21:46
start watching more television you know
21:48
what to be honest with you I hardly ever
21:49
watch any movies or TV shows anymore
21:51
everything is just etched in my mind
21:54
from the past that's why I'm such a pop
21:57
culturist when when it comes to 80 stuff
21:59
cuz I watch so many movies and so many
22:01
TV shows from that era honestly I very
22:05
rarely unless I'm researching something
22:07
we watch TV or movies or anything like
22:12
even The Walking Dead a lot of people
22:13
said go to some Walking Dead filming
22:15
locations I've seen two episodes of The
22:18
Walking Dead one day I will sit down
22:21
Fester myself to a couch at some point
22:24
right now I'm in non couch mode I want
22:28
nothing to do with sitting on a couch
22:29
and watching television I'm all about
22:32
Adventures going out seeing things doing
22:34
things relying on my memory which
22:36
starting to fail me but one day I'll get
22:39
caught up on TV shows and goodness maybe
22:42
like the Vampire Diaries which who knows
22:44
