1:03
but it's going to be raw footage of my
1:06
time at a place
1:07
that i have wanted to see with my own
1:09
eyes for a long time that's the preface
1:17
i was able i was alerted that i am able
1:17
to upload this footage i thought i was
1:18

1:49
warner ranch not warner brothers studios
1:49
the warner ranch
1:51
soon to be
2:49
tried to recreate the house that they
2:49
shot the waltons at yeah the walton's
2:51
house yeah and so this isn't exactly
2:54
where they shot it this is a recreation
2:56
of the house
2:57
so but it is that's what we call it the
2:58
walton's house
3:22
but usually it has like a built out like
3:22
a
3:23
covered porch on it
3:56
the first mother's day the first
3:56
birthday
3:58
all those things i i'm a mess
4:00
literally every four months i break down
4:03
crying again
4:10
now you know who else's house used to be
4:13
mrs kravitz right because he knows how
4:15
that you sabrina
4:17
would be wet so i can go in
4:27
one of the houses
4:27
now you know they change the paint like
4:30
the paint colors might not be exactly
4:31
the same as what you remember because
4:33
every time someone else comes in and
4:35
uses it they repaint it
4:37
you know it's probably the sabrina one
4:38
it looks almost actually flat
4:57
we'll go room through here so this video
4:57
you offer a new production let's see if
4:59
that is not this is it so it ends here
5:02
oh wait let me sneak around this way
5:05
let's see
5:06
down this column
5:09
no so this is there's the back door so
5:11
it goes right into a parking lot
5:14
the amazing thing about all this is and
5:17
very soon this is all going to be
5:19
bulldozed and torn down
5:20
all this history across right across
5:22
over there lethal weapon house griswold
5:25
house
5:26
also the house griswold house is also
5:28
the house from juan division
5:30
all right here on this corner sabrina
5:32
the teenage witch right over here and
5:33
they were just filming one division last
5:35
week apparently here really yeah
5:38
all this is going to be leveled
5:41
the you know what the crapper was full
5:43
right over there cousin eddie the rv
5:46
what the heck what is happening right
5:53
just to make it now what house was this
5:53
the from the tv show the middle of the
5:55
middle oh yeah that aired for about nine
5:57
seasons the interesting thing about this
5:59
pool not only was it the pool from
6:01
christmas vacation there's also the pool
6:03
from
6:04
gremlins they built the ymca around it
6:12
this is amazing and by the time this
6:12
video is uploaded all this will be torn
6:14
down
6:15
i'm not allowed to upload this until
6:17
this place is gone
6:24
stepping back to the future of the past
6:24
or one of the two
6:26
yeah right here lethal weapon
6:29
this is insane
6:32
right here lethal weapon house
6:35
griswold house
6:59
this is incredible this place
6:59
is
7:00
so much history
7:19
wow
7:19
yeah it used to have a big white steeple
7:21
on the top but that fell apart
7:24
so
7:29
they literally if you saw the
7:29
the marketing uh watercolors for the
7:32
development you would just cry they're
7:34
gonna come in they're gonna razz
7:36
everything down to the ground flat oh my
7:38
gosh
7:39
that's so sad except for the five stages
7:42
this is the lethal weapon house yep
7:45
this is where the boat was
7:47
from christmas vacation oh that's true
7:50
i know margo
7:53
this is where the boat was right here
7:55
this is where the whole fight with gary
7:57
we're gary busey cousin eddie parks yeah
8:01
no kidding
8:03
yeah yeah yeah this is the whole fight
8:04
scene with with gary busey in the front
8:06
yard
8:07
out the window yeah it's all here
8:11
i'm too old for this
8:14
this is where the boat was parked over
8:15
here wow that is so cool
8:17
wasn't that did there used to be a
8:19
bigger building here though
8:20
like they stretched out i think in the
8:22
movie there was
8:24
a scenic guard background behind it just
8:26
to block it yeah because you can see a
8:29
couple of the high rises that didn't
8:31
used to be here oh yeah but in the
8:32
background that they kind of have to
8:34
camouflage out you would think they'd be
8:36
witch hunter at least keep that
8:48
cousin eddie's rv would have been here
8:48
the house looks a lot different
8:56
isn't that amazing christmas
8:56
joy
8:57
to
8:58
the world
9:06
are you i cannot believe we're on this
9:06
lot right now
9:08
unbelievable
9:10
i'm gonna keep saying that
9:16
that's the lights on the sewage
9:16
treatment plant
9:18
now it does look a lot different and
9:20
this was also used in one division
9:21
recently
9:35
oh my gosh they use
9:35
the staircase
9:41
are you kidding me
9:41
wait is this the real is this the
9:42
interiors they used i remember the
9:44
staircase being more straight though
9:47
so is this where the tree was
9:49
i can't tell if this is the real
9:50
interiors
9:53
i think those were probably seth because
9:54
this is way too small yeah i think
9:57
you're right
9:58
but these stairs
10:08
yeah the interiors must have been a
10:08
sound stage
10:14
or something well i would i know that
10:14
there's a stairwell but i think someone
10:15
warned about from friends
10:32
i mean the living room's too the living
10:32
room is too small yeah they move this
10:34
part here
10:35
over here where the tree was
10:37
you know what they do a lot of they just
10:38
come in and shoot the foyer and the
10:40
doorways and then they go build
10:42
everything else in the stage
10:54
just to like
10:54
build another little town somewhere you
10:56
know like
10:57
up out in santa clarita i think it's
10:59
called oak something studios
11:02
they have golden oak
11:04
that's disney yeah yeah they have a
11:05
little street like this with houses so
11:08
there's a couple of people are saying
11:09
well you know maybe it would be a money
11:12
maker if someone just
11:14
bought some cheap land out in lancaster
11:17
or something and built another little
11:18
backlot
11:20
with just a neighborhood that would be
11:22
good yeah at least maybe not the whole
11:23
building but just the facades right so
11:25
then they were saying well you could buy
11:27
these
11:28
facades and just
11:30
you know basically saw them off and
11:32
truck them out of here
11:34
and so there was a couple people so that
11:36
might be on the table i don't know if
11:38
they're gonna do that or not
11:41
but look see the little see the ribbon
11:43
around the tree yeah
11:45
they've already come in to decide which
11:46
trees they're gonna try and say
11:49
which ones you're just mowing over
11:52
wow they're already preparing for
11:53
demolition
12:07
i am so grateful to be in here this is
12:07
like a bucket list of mine
12:10
serious bucket list of mine to get in
12:12
here
12:17
soldiers
12:18
um
12:20
hey adam do you ever see uh american
12:21
beauty i did remember
12:28
oh that's the garage that's the american
12:28
beauty house
12:54
look at that bringing the trees through
13:11
i'm gonna i'm over filming this just
13:12
because you know it needs to be shown
13:19
hundreds and hundreds if not thousands
13:19
of productions back here on this road
13:21
and there's a residential neighborhood
13:23
just on the other side of us
13:48
it's kind of hard to see because some of
13:48
the plants were overgrown but if they
13:49
were all trimmed back
14:17
everybody loves the garage in this house
14:17
but they very rarely use the house
14:23
i think the reason why i like the middle
14:24
so much
14:38
friends fountain used to be right over
14:39
and then behind it those buildings
14:41
charlton heston and mega man
14:50
and you would never know residential
14:50
neighborhood on the other side of those
14:51
those buildings
15:07
i don't know why it's kind of gothic
15:07
maybe looking and
15:08
yeah it's kind of copper looking yeah
15:23
this has been set dresses so much in
15:24
different
15:24
movies monster squad
15:32
i've drawn a blank on all the different
15:32
movies this has been but it's been in
15:34
dozens
15:53
definitely remember from monster squad
15:53
oh also in gremlins
15:55
this was the mechanic shop in gremlins
15:57
when the guy when he tries to sell in
15:58
the ashtray
16:00
when he has the asteroid he goes in and
16:02
selling them this was the mechanic shop
16:04
looks totally different but this is the
16:06
mechanic shot
16:11
and just give a little correlation
16:12
hollywood ways over there
16:39
yeah just a little bit this building
16:39
looks totally different this has been
16:41
remodeled a hundred times
16:47
just one long video
17:57
and this park has been when they did
17:57
pushing up babies this park was dressed
17:59
as a cemetery
18:01
it was really quite well done
18:05
somewhere
18:14
that tree is amazing
18:14
beth is okay
18:16
of course yeah
18:18
so this is where the friends found used
18:19
to be
18:21
in the middle
18:22
there's also a scene in hocus pocus
18:24
where they walk across here
18:25
for like one second
18:29
wow getting some serious mega man vibes
18:32
trout heston
18:34
keep in mind
18:38
this is all going to be removed
18:38
bulldozed but it would have been right
18:40
about this angle
18:56
i promise you i've been here before you
18:56
okay you know
18:57
where the where the cone is or no no no
19:00
no i think it's more where this kind of
19:02
little dippy
19:04
dipped in the ground
19:05
let's take a look
19:11
it's so fascinating the pool's just
19:11
right there in the middle
22:47
this was all snow-capped obviously
22:47
doesn't snow in this area of southern
22:48
california
22:50
in gremlins
22:51
where the bug was right here wouldn't
22:53
start it was too cold
22:55
these trees here
23:07
dennis the menace house
23:42
all right i also believe this is
23:42
where the heavy machinery goes through
23:45
this it looks a lot different this is
23:48
busts down the wall
23:49
couples watching tv
23:52
yeah right through here the back of this
25:23
okay this is inside the main house
25:23
from grandma's
25:33
a lot of scenes took place
25:33
on the porch right out here with the
25:34
family standing looking out
25:52
just a facade just the
25:52
front little porch area and the alcove
25:54
leading in
26:02
see some of the tape here for
26:02
probably for actors to meet where
26:03
they're supposed to stand get their mark
26:06
i'm ready for my close-up
26:24
one a mega man charlotte has it that's
26:24
the one i definitely recall a little the
26:25
little gray one in the middle yep
26:28
the third one over this was the main
26:30
house in gremlins
26:31
this was zach galligan's house
26:34
the main house
26:35
this is where his bug was broken down
26:37
they covered this in snow
26:38
you see this a couple times you see
26:40
these trees very distinct
26:42
if they level those trees that'll be
26:44
very sad yeah
26:46
this is the main house it'd be
26:47
interesting to see if they keep those
26:48
trees
26:50
isn't it wild that this
26:52
is by the time this video is uploaded
26:54
yeah this is going to be leveled gone
26:56
gone erased yeah razor resistance
27:00
very rarely do i film a video and wait
27:02
forever to upload you put them up right
27:04
away this one i can't do it with this
27:06
one i have to wait we have to wait we
27:07
have to have to follow the guidelines i
27:08
got a secret video coming about this
27:10
place
27:11
how do i
27:12
yes you do look at griffith park over
27:14
there
27:16
we don't have time to look at river park
27:17
that's true at griffith park
27:27
pretty amazing to think that they built
27:27
the ymca around this
27:30
so this is where
27:33
jump in they multiply in great numbers
27:38
all right here this is the pool
27:42
think about that if you will
27:44
i'm thinking about it
27:50
incredible
27:50
i mean obviously you know cousin eddie
27:52
as well
27:53
clark looking out the window christmas
27:55
vacation but not talking about that talk
27:57
about gremlins
27:59
right here this is where they all
28:00
multiplied a monumental scene and this
28:03
pool
28:04
near impossible to see with human eyes
28:08
i am just so happy to see this to be on
28:10
the warner rams this is the pool they
28:11
multiplied in this this is the one 80s
28:13
movie kind of wondering you think this
28:15
was where the diving board was because
28:16
eddie was on yeah going that way
28:19
yeah it could have been
28:21
or it could have been on the other side
28:22
either way
28:23
cousin eddie right here
28:30
and who did not rewind that scene over
28:30
and over
28:32
trying to get a
28:33
trying to get a little glimpse
28:35
as a youth
28:37
i mean it's not fast times at ridgemont
28:39
high pool scene but let's be honest
28:44
there was a fence around it in um
28:47
here's the vacation they made it seem
28:48
like it was he was looking out the
28:50
backyard but really he was looking out
28:51
the front window over here because the
28:54
christmas vacation house
28:56
is not one of these but it's the one
28:58
around here right next to the lethal
29:00
weapon house
29:18
right there
29:18
amazing
29:33
i don't even want to leave this place
29:33
i just love backlots
29:35
this
29:37
it definitely was a holy holy grail for
29:40
filming locations
29:42
and i know just very overwhelming in
29:44
fact i wasn't 100 sure was going to be
29:46
able to gain access
29:49
was not
29:50
mentally
29:51
or
29:53
completely prepared to know all the
29:55
different productions
29:57
but i had to just show it i knew quite a
29:58
bit
30:00
but i think just showing it
30:03
putting it out there four pot definitely
30:04
this is for posterity
30:07
this incredible backlot
30:42
i'm going to multiply
30:42
my gremlins
30:50
come on in the water's fine you have to
30:50
come on man
30:51
this pool is going to be gone
30:53
now you can say
30:54
you have officially wetted yourself
30:57
in the christmas vacation pool twice
31:03
oh this is so freaking cool man
31:05
i can't like for real not even kidding
31:08
probably
31:09
two decades or more i said 10 years for
31:11
me more than two decades i have
31:14
dreamt of seeing this pool
31:16
and now my hand is dripping wet yep with
31:20
water
31:21
i found the christmas vacation it's been
31:23
10 years i've been trying to get on here
31:24
i called every time i've come to
31:26
california to 2012.
31:28
where are you
31:30
this was definitely a bucket list it's a
31:32
lot it looks it looks small on google
31:34
maps let's review and actually when you
31:36
get on here it is actually it seems a
31:38
lot smaller it's pretty small it's just
31:40
a quick loop it's a circle but they use
31:42
it countlessly in things in same tv
31:45
shows they will double the streets and
31:47
go back and forth and back and forth
31:50
and i know
31:51
i
31:52
it was i was had a ten percent
31:55
glimmer of hope that we were going to
31:56
get on here yeah
31:58
so i was not completely prepared with a
32:01
booklet of photos
32:03
that i could have matched up but i think
32:05
at this point i've showed everything in
32:07
such great detail
32:08
that it's just for posterity man it's
32:10
like
32:11
i'm just over filming because dude this
32:15
this is legendary to be on this lot yeah
32:18
to some might not get it i just thought
32:20
so just saying on my video for some
32:21
people anyone that's in the filming
32:23
location
32:24
a movie lover or a dork like me and us
32:28
if i was if i was watching this video
32:30
and i had not been on here i would be
32:32
drooling with jealousy so i am thankful
32:35
there's only been one other video i've
32:36
ever seen on youtube with somebody
32:37
that's gotten on here really yeah it's a
32:39
long time it was like it had to have
32:41
been 15 years ago so we made a little
32:43
video and i have no clue what what day
32:44
i'm even going to upload this video so
32:46
this might be who knows when i just
32:47
recall they did not go in the lethal
32:49
weapon house i got to go in there
33:29
oh nice
33:29
nice
33:38
okay just to show residential area
33:38
back here so these are all residents and
33:41
apartments
33:42
so i have walked the perimeter of this
33:45
countless times
33:47
and shown the back of these houses but
33:49
never been able to walk through them
33:50
look at this
33:56
back of danny glover's house

37:36
the pool over there
37:39
a mega man buildings over there
38:02
sometimes things just work out
38:02
so excited
38:06
happy i was able to visit this place
38:09
after years
38:12
of attempting
38:13
trying
38:14
it happened
38:24
what
38:34
i know plenty of actors have been here
38:34
cast crew workers
38:40
employees this doesn't seem like that
38:40
big of a deal it's a big deal to me
38:43
it's a big deal
38:50
how big of a deal is this if you had to
38:50
rate it on a scale of one to ten
38:53
for guys like this yeah
38:56
a hundred on a scale of one to ten 100
38:59
success because here in a few months
39:01
adam
39:02
this is all gonna be sound stages like i
39:04
was saying once this video is uploaded
39:06
this will all be had been leveled gone
39:09
erased from existence
39:25
you can see how this is kind of open
39:25
right here for the lighting and all that
39:27
so they can get the good lighting in
39:28
here because a lot of places will use
39:30
sound stages and not practical interiors
39:34
but this was a practical interior and
39:38
an exterior so you got the staircase but
39:40
you put the lighting and everything up
39:41
here and the camera is going down
39:44
because usually interiors you can't
39:46
really get the camera and the lighting
39:48
setup because the roof is too
39:50
too shallow and narrow
39:52
think of the garage opening
39:55
my hands rusty the ball of christmas
39:58
lights
40:00
here you take care of that
40:02
there's the window there i believe
40:03
that's the window that the ice went
40:05
through to the neighbors
40:16
this opens up clark comes out
40:16
with a chainsaw
40:18
and you know what i just peeked in the
40:20
window and i can go in the garage might
40:22

44:20

44:20
remake yeah when christina applegate has
44:23
a photo of her in front of her sorority

house it's this house this is the
44:26
sorority house yeah
44:31

44:39
movie i'm not going to watch the i'm not
44:41
going to watch this i refuse to watch
44:42
the new vacation
44:45
that's just me though
44:55
it is incredible how
44:55
really small this whole area is it's
44:56
just basically one circle griffith park
44:59
over there
45:00
starting here with the sorority house
45:02
then you got this that was used multiple
45:04
times as a garage a diner things like
45:05
that and then you just circle around
45:08
mostly just a cult like a not a
45:10
cul-de-sac but just around this little
45:11
park where the friends fountain used to
45:13
be
45:14
this house also built there on this side
45:16
of that house is where the pool is
45:18
and then those over there and that's it
45:21
that is all of the ranch
45:24
in its entirety
45:32
this almost looks like the amityville
45:32
horror house it's not but
45:34
there's that truck the wonder electric
45:36
truck
45:46
and now making our exit a little
45:46
checkpoint up here with the flag
