look at this take a look at this
7:22
tree right here very impressive looking
7:25
tree all right pulling over now there is
7:28
a covered a covered bridge S type of
7:32
structure here this is not the one from
7:35
the movie however even though it does
7:37
kind of resemble
7:39
it that one's been there for a while too
7:41
yes it is now
7:43
flurrying once again these old buildings
7:47
corus and
7:53
Prescott now all this can be seen from
7:53
the other angle in Beetlejuice the 88
7:55
Beetlejuice there's the Corinth
7:58
Historical Society
8:03
the General Store that they kind of
8:03
fixed up for the new film I was seeing
8:06
some photos and things online a lot of
8:08
people were coming out and filming when
8:10
they were doing the Productions I wasn't
8:11
able to make
8:19
it okay one thing I like is the fact
8:19
that they have these little comparison
8:21
angles here of maand Hardware the barber
8:24
shop the fire department this is gone
8:27
this is from the first film but that was
8:29
right here next to this house the
8:32
library is right over
8:35
here look at this looks like a a
8:39
beehive right
8:41
there so you got the maitlin hardware
8:43
this is when he pulls up got the door he
8:46
was talking to the guy here and from
8:49
what I was seeing it looks like they had
8:50
kind of fixed up the ma Hardware but now
8:52
it's back on D it looks horrible right
8:55
now and this is right after the filming
8:59
of part two which has not been announced
9:01
when it's going to come out or when when
9:03
the heck that's going to take place but
9:04
this is the maitlin
9:07
hardware look at this
9:15
thing maybe they put a a fake facade on
9:19
it or something cuz this thing is in
9:20
horrible
9:36
now I've always heard a rumor that the
9:36
original model that he is looking at at
9:39
the beginning you know there is the the
9:42
helicopter the plane that kind of
9:44
probably a helicopter angle looking down
9:47
over the town and then it goes to the
9:48
model and then the spider crawls up over
9:51
the top of the house I had always heard
9:53
a rumor that it was
9:56
in the Memorial Library here but but
9:59
when I was here before 11 years ago the
10:01
library was not open so I'm going to go
10:02
see if that is true I don't know if it's
10:04
ever been shown if anyone's ever figured
10:06
out where the model is if anyone has
10:09
confirmed or
10:11
denied that fact this is dated
10:15
1893 and these are the
10:17
hours Monday Wednesday Thursday and
10:20
Friday they open 2: to
10:23
6 today's Wednesday as I'm filming this
10:26
it's 238 at the moment and of course
10:29
it's the day after Halloween so there's
10:31
still going to be a lot of pumpkins
10:33
stuff set up all right I'm going to head
10:35
back over to the library momentarily the
10:38
nice lady that lives here just summoned
10:41
me and said that she has photos from the
10:43
first film that I can look out said to
10:45
come take a look at them all right
10:47
definitely got to say a big thank you to
10:50
a very kind lady that lives in the house
10:52
she had quite a few photos of this whole
10:55
area from the late 80s when they
10:58
completely
11:00
we're doing all the
11:02
filming in fact she had I mean just not
11:06
almost say boxes she had probably at
11:09
least 200 to 300 photos the kind that
11:14
you would go to the 1 Hour Photo and
11:15
develop of when they were filming it of
11:18
Alec Baldwin Gina Davis Tim Burton the
11:21
production the fake facade that they put
11:23
over the library that now stands here
11:26
them building the covered bridge and the
11:29
cover bridge still exists it's at a ski
11:31
resort a small ski resort on the
11:34
outskirts of town so we're going to try
11:35
to drive over there a little bit after I
11:38
get done walking around here and check
11:40
that out but the photos that she had are
11:42
complete I mean just gold like Priceless
11:46
if you will and let me peruse through
11:48
all of them and so that I could film
11:50
some of them take some pictures of some
11:51
of them so I I definitely did that as
11:53
well she said there have been some other
11:55
people who have seen these and posted
11:57
some of them but I definitely wanted to
11:58
to get a video just in case some of
12:01
these have not been
12:02
documented and kind of just put them in
12:04
the video very very very cool seeing all
12:07
this stuff I mean it's just I mean this
12:09
just
12:10
like classic like history of Tim Burton
12:14
you know you think of it in this little
12:15
very small town in Vermont East Corinth
12:19
Vermont to be exact and I asked her as
12:23
well about the model if it was at the
12:25
library she said she does not think so
12:27
but I am going to walk back over to the
12:28
library just to check and see if the
12:30
model from the beginning of the movie is
12:31
in there cuz that'd be awesome if it was
12:34
the photo is just incredible just
12:35
incredible amount of photo she was also
12:37
telling me stories about how she was
12:39
here for obviously the filming of part
12:40
two so she lived here when the first one
12:42
in ' 88 came out but also was here when
12:46
Burton and the crew were here for part
12:48
two and said it was an entire different
12:51
type of production when part two was
12:53
here a lot more people lot more
12:55
equipment so it' be interesting to see
12:57
the sequel and see if it holds up or see
12:59
if it does a does the first one Justice
13:01
or not also the East Corinth
13:03
Congregational Church is doing a capital
13:05
c campaign to try to fix some water
13:07
damage and roof
13:09
repair right here established
13:16
1840 now the
13:16
cemetery in the film was located you
13:18
also see that in the model at the
13:21
beginning but also when the helicopter
13:24
comes down I'm believing looking at the
13:25
photos that she had that they created
13:27
that right over here to the side of the
13:30
library they did build a facade for the
13:32
first film on the
13:40
library yeah the facade of the fake
13:40
Cemetery was right here in fact you can
13:43
see at a couple
13:44
angles the church there church steeple
13:47
there behind the headstones okay inside
13:50
the library now oh take a look at
14:13
here and they also do rent out or not
14:13
rent out but they also you can check out
14:14
movies and they do have a copy of the
14:16
20th anniversary deluxe edition but take
14:18
a look up top Beetle
14:21
guys there some kind of behind the
14:23
scenes photos in here too not seeing the
14:26
model but I am seeing the MCH
14:30
School for Girls Miss Shannon photo
14:32
there the house at the top of the hill
14:35
the downtown there I got the the facade
14:38
over the top of the library the little
14:41
statue
14:42
sculpture out in front there's Gina
14:45
Davis there oh here's a behind the
14:47
scenes of the car falling out of the
15:00
dog wow all right in fact talk to the
15:00
librarian in there she said that
15:02
definitely 100% model is not in there no
15:05
one really knows 100% where it is
15:07
there's also a geocache in there for the
15:10
book of the recently deceased so if
15:11
you're doing a geocache they have it
15:13
underneath the photos as well there's
15:15
also some little other little pamphlets
15:17
he said most of the photos if there's
15:18
any other photos that all the photos
15:19
they have on file in there are the one
15:21
that they had from the neighbor's house
15:25
I which I ended up checking out over
15:28
here
15:55
difference this building looks like a
15:55
storm hit
15:57
it
16:06
I also have a lollipop that was in my
16:06
mouth thought my mouth was all garbled
16:09
librarian gave me a lollipop in
16:19
there okay I think that's the front
16:19
door that Alec Balwin walked in right
16:40
okay I am noticing the concrete steps
16:40
here that the barber is sitting in front
16:43
of those steps are still there so you
16:44
can see they built this extension on
16:47
here but right there his chair was right
16:50
right in that
16:51
spot just to the left of that cone
16:55
there and then he carries the
16:57
conversation on
17:05
kind of about like
17:05
that so this would have been the barber
17:20
here and when they're driving out of
17:20
town to go over the
17:21
bridge as this car goes by
17:30
here see this greenhouse here was
17:30
painted
17:32
brown it's also interesting that there
17:34
is no Outlet you can see no Outlet
17:38
there oh here's also a good perspective
17:41
they have a
17:42
photo also here of the covered bridge
17:45
are
17:45
they guess they like tourists being here
17:48
and these
17:49
cones are here to let everyone know
17:52
where the signified spots are so the car
17:56
went off to the side of the bridge that
18:05
way but notice how this says no Outlet
18:05
so they were going back to the house the
18:06
house is not that direction you would
18:08
think it was that hill but it's not that
18:11
Hill the house that was actually past
18:14
that one way up on the hill over that
18:16
way now again there are some pretty
18:17
heavy rumors probably be able to confirm
18:20
that today go check out the the original
18:24
covered bridge that was moved over to
18:25
the ski
18:26
resort but I don't know what did with
18:28
the one from the the new one that hasn't
18:30
come out yet also the school is right
18:34
there this is where the car went over
18:37
the
18:38
side right down
18:45
here and to this day every time I see a
18:45
covered bridge I always mention how it
18:47
reminds me of Beetle
18:48
Juice it's like stuck in my head forever
18:51
and the angle when they're first going
18:53
into town they're coming from this
18:55
direction but in order to get this you
18:57
see this house over here now there's
18:59
been a since 88 there's been a big blue
19:01
house that's been built obstructing The
19:02
View but I'm going to get the car and
19:04
try to drive up to the top of the hill
19:06
but I do believe that this house is
19:08
going to obstruct that view but you do
19:09
see that home I'm guessing they were
19:12
probably up there with the camera angle
19:14
there's a road
19:16
here so if I can maybe drive up there
19:19
and get that it's also very interesting
19:20
that the they did build a fake facade on
19:23
the library the library kind of looks
19:25
cool on its own but I guess they wanted
19:26
more of like a gothic look the minurva
19:28
lodge
19:38
86 the fictional Miss Shannon School for
19:38
Girls and there is a sign of Miss
19:43
Shannon up here as
19:45
well and also a
19:48
Beetlejuice an 88 Beetlejuice poster or
19:52
picture right here on the
19:57
side
20:02
take a look at
20:16
that all right this is interesting it
20:16
says they are registered nonprofit and
20:18
they are trying to restore and preserve
20:20
this 101y old schoolhouse focusing on a
20:23
grant riding if you are a fan of
20:25
Beetlejuice and like to see the building
20:27
transfer form there's some information
20:29
right there that's very very interesting
20:32
it would be pretty interesting one day
20:33
if I ever returned here if this was in
20:36
fact a Beetle Juice
20:42
Museum towards the very end of the film
20:42
where won is riding her bike down the
20:45
hill away from the school was kind of
20:46
noticing so over here there's a barn and
20:49
if you look at it closely you watch it
20:51
on you know watch it on like Blu-ray or
20:54
something with a little better quality
20:56
you could see that there is a d do not
20:58
block driveway sign on the side of that
21:02
barn and all these years later that's
21:04
still there I'm going to zoom in kind of
21:07
show where that
21:08
is kind of obscure s it's just little
21:11
one of the little things
21:26
there this was the driveway that
21:26
she rides her bike
21:35
down and also the very beginning the
21:35
helicopter came over the top of that
21:37
tree line goes over the town and then it
21:40
kind of meshes into the model scene you
21:42
think that it's really the town but
21:43
really it's the model and the spider
21:45
climbs up up the top of the house it is
21:48
brisk out
21:50
here zip code
21:54
05040 according to what's written
21:55
underneath
21:57
there the town is really only about two
22:00
blocks long this is the doctor's office
22:03
right there library right over
22:12
there all right drove up the top of this
22:13
hill
22:14
hoping could get an angle that they had
22:17
so this is basically the pretend road
22:20
that the house would have been on but
22:22
it's not really on this road I'm going
22:24
to drive up to where the
22:26
house really
22:33
was this is the fictional
22:33
Road I'm going to drive through where
22:36
the covered bridge
22:56
was
23:17
there there's a better angle there of
23:17
the top of the hill I mean it is way up
23:19
there it's on private property it's like
23:20
a farm there a farmhouse and a like a a
23:25
barn and a stable and things but got to
23:28
go past that and get to the top of the
23:35
hill but from up there you can kind of
23:35
see the whole
23:37
town like you see the church steeple too
23:39
when the house was built up there so you
23:42
see the church steeple down there so the
23:44
top of that hill in the steeple from the
23:46
church down below some chickens over
23:49
here hello
24:28
snowing
24:28
very windy too my
24:59
windy see the flakes on
24:59
my my arm
25:02
there it's a little flurries but
25:44
cool all right driving up
25:44
the driveway here to where the house was
25:47
saw a local resident walking their dog
25:49
she said do not go up to the house said
25:53
go up here and turn around so they don't
25:55
really like people visiting the top of
25:57
the house I'm just going to going to go
25:57
up here and turn around said go up here
25:59
to the end of the driveway turn around
26:01
and go back down so that's what I'm
26:02
going to do right up there at the top of
26:11
hill in
26:11
fact oh yeah have some cones
26:15
there there's the
26:18
angle oh yeah they are they do not take
26:21
kindly to
26:45
go that's where the house was right
26:45
there all right heading back down I was
26:48
noticing the barn and I pulled in was
26:50
like kind of an interesting
26:52
conglomeration of creepy
26:56
dolls or show it up
27:11
skulls kind of hoping that's left over
27:11
from
27:12
Halloween if that is a year- round thing
27:15
that is horrifying I'm just going to
27:17
assume it's a day after Halloween
27:26
leftovers sometimes snow does not help
27:26
the creepy Factor
27:34
oh yeah it is a Halloween dis I got some
27:34
Jacko lanterns in
27:41
there at least I hope it
27:41
is skulls though all right there's a
27:44
cemetery up here on the other side so I
27:47
pulled up to this area so this is the
27:49
back side of that burm where the house
27:51
was right up
27:54
there you can kind of match it up a
27:57
little bit even though can't get on the
27:59
property however you could see down
28:03
below East
28:05
Corinth down
28:07
there in fact you can see the
28:11
town and the church steeple and all
28:25
snow this is so neat that it's snowing
28:25
all we going to follow this tractor up
28:27
to the ski lodge area hopefully find the
28:31
covered bridge which some say
28:50
exists when they said ski
28:53
resort I we really call this a ski
28:56
resort but it definitely has some ski
29:03
lifts all right so
29:03
supposedly this is from the late 80s the
29:07
covered bridge that they drive through
29:10
it has been relocated a few miles from
29:13
downtown there is a snow plow or
29:17
snow vehicle parked in there I'm going
29:21
to try to match up a scene of it just to
29:24
see if it is now the the site the the
29:27
real tell all would be if there's a hole
29:29
in the side where the car went through I
29:31
walk around the other
29:34
side this says no Ski Patrol on
29:44
duty look at this old machine here
29:44
emergency stop
29:47
switch there is a hole here on this side
29:50
there's a car in
29:53
here says do not do not enter authorized
29:57
person
30:04
only but there is part of a vehicle in
30:04
there yeah it's tough to tell but dang
30:08
that looks like the same kind of length
30:10
same height same
30:13
everything if that's true that is one
30:16
heck of a
30:17
relic that is awesome if it is true
30:21
there's another angle when they're
30:22
pulling through I mean it
30:26
gosh that's tough to
30:30
tell I don't know kind of throws me off
30:33
seeing this here because one in the
30:35
movie it's more rounded but then again
30:38
it could have gone down over where those
30:40
boards are
30:46
there you never know with urban legends
30:46
and local folklore when people say oh
30:49
yeah that could be it and then you hear
30:51
a secret you're like oh I got like an
30:53
inside
30:58
tip
30:58
but you just never know like how rumors
31:00
ah there's nothing on this other side
31:03
look at this there's no way on the other
31:04
side so unless they enclosed it which is
31:07
possible I don't
31:09
know looks pretty dang close though
31:12
there are a couple other buildings
31:13
though that look very very similar one
31:16
right over here next to this so there's
31:18
this other one which looks a little
31:20
smaller
31:22
however I don't know this is confusing
31:24
because this
31:26
shows that this is
31:28
it look there's a photo of it
31:33
here but did they incl I don't know I'm
31:36
so confused this is stating that this
31:39
one
31:40
is the same
31:50
one this one's smaller
31:50
however o I don't know yeah I don't
31:54
know if I had to pick one of the two I
31:57
would say it was that one over there so
31:59
according to the photo this one they
32:01
could have repurposed it and enclosed it
32:03
in to make it into a
32:05
shed but then that would be the side
32:08
over there what would be the side that
32:09
they would have busted
32:18
through possibly yeah if I had to choose
32:18
one of the two I would say it was
32:19
probably this one but I still have my
32:21
doubts on both of
32:41
about all right driving down the road a
32:41
little bit more look at this old more
32:43
lanane engine number one right here in
32:46
this classic
32:52
car and there's an old barn looks like
32:52
some might be using it for something but
32:53
it's a kind of a cool Old Barn right
32:55
there but what Drew my attention was
32:57
that old fire engine right there and you
33:00
can see how the leaves have been
33:01
changing it's like kind of already past
33:03
few weeks past when the leaves were
33:04
changing but you can still
33:06
see some beauty up there in the hillside
33:09
there's an antique store here one thing
33:10
about East Corinth they have everything
33:12
but the kitchen seink oh wait they do
33:14
have the kitchen sink be amazing if
33:16
somewhere in this antique shop they had
33:18
some props from the movie some leftover
33:21
they're closed right now okay so sorry
33:23
we're closed this bu this business was
33:26
established in 1992 it says right here
33:28
on the side established
33:32
92 tilletson Trading
33:35

33:37

34:13
side that I was at earlier and it's kind
34:15

34:17

34:20
beverage in the East cor General Store
34:23
this is the little Post-it notes up here
34:26
for the town Town meetings and
34:30
whatnot and they got some Christmas

34:37
kind of fits fits though because the how
34:40
cold it is you can kind of get some it
34:42

34:52
