Transcript
0:03
i'm driving down this moderately unkept
0:03
up
0:04
desolate road
0:06
heading towards the fictional town of
0:08
gatlin
0:09
nebraska
0:10
in search of
0:12
he who walks behind
0:15
the rose no no no not the flower
0:18
rose of crops
0:20
in this case
0:22
what you see behind me i'm visiting the
0:24
filming locations
0:26
of the 1984
0:28
cult classic
0:30
children
0:31
of the i'm wearing the appropriate hat
0:34
for this as well it's my second channel
0:36
daily vlog channel it's
0:38
the daily woo
0:40
and i got a nice little buildup of
0:42
nastiness
0:44
from standing in that field
0:46
on the old shoe but unlike the state
0:48
location mentioned in the film we are
0:51
still technically in iowa you scared big
0:54
the foot
0:56
we're going in
0:58
don't be scared
1:00
i'm sure it'll be
1:02
just fine this is
1:05
quite an interesting vibe
1:10
pulling into town
1:10
it's like i'm
1:12
stepping back in time
1:18
and there's hardly anyone here this
1:18
bridge has been closed off
1:21
and completely
1:23
barricaded probably a wise choice
1:26
because the less people who visit here
1:28
the better the plot of the movie
1:30
the kids
1:32
eliminate
1:34
the adults
1:36
i have the i have a childlike attitude
1:38
so i should be safe right i should be
1:40
fine you can see the two main characters
1:42
vehicle driving in this shot
1:44
check out the building behind it notice
1:47
the lettering that states
1:49
garage
1:50
well that's the building
1:52
right there partly decomposed and
1:55
falling down but you can prominently
1:57
read the wording
1:58
still up there
2:00
even though the rest of it's gone this
2:03
was the spot of hansen's cafe
2:05
where three years prior a very horrific
2:07
event
2:08
took place you'll notice the building on
2:11
the far left was torn down and replaced
2:13
with a newer smaller structure and i
2:16
found something very interesting
2:18
behind the new
2:20
glass facade the malt sign is still up
2:23
there as is the blue paint
2:27
on the trim
2:29
that's incredible right here behind
2:31
that piece of plexiglass now the
2:33
interiors were not filmed in here that
2:35
was in a totally different town a few
2:37
miles up the road we'll get to that
2:40
a little later
2:41
when they tried to steal his car
2:44
it was parked
2:45
right here
2:47
and you'll notice the building
2:48
behind the vehicle
2:50
is now completely well pathway covered
2:53
in ivy
2:54
you can still see part of the wall
2:55
though in fact you can see some of the
2:57
dying dead limbs
3:00
now that isaac's gone and the rituals
3:02
have ended
3:03
everything's drying up it's amazing how
3:06
basically everything
3:09
looks the same
3:10
other than a few name changes on the
3:12
signs
3:14
has the same vibe
3:16
the same creepy vibe and i love the fact
3:18
that the advertisement painted on the
3:20
brick is still there and this metal
3:24
american legion sign which can be seen
3:26
very well as he's running
3:28
towards it down the sidewalk but don't
3:30
you know it's very difficult
3:32
to outrun a kid
3:34
i mean they're half your age they can
3:35
they can sprint faster standing on this
3:37
very corner
3:39
with his blood drenched shirt
3:41
looking around trying to decide which
3:43
way to go next
3:45
and i'm a pretty big nerd i like to
3:47
match up
3:48
certain things like cracks
3:50
in the brick you'll notice how this
3:53
indentation goes up and then it kind of
3:55
formulates into another
3:57
chunk
3:58
of the same color that's the only brick
4:00
that does that
4:02
which means
4:03
his shoulder
4:05
was right here
4:06
which also means i am considerably
4:08
taller okay i take that back i stand
4:11
corrected because i'm currently standing
4:14
but i'm about the same height
4:16
there's the weird little
4:18
indentation
4:20
so we're kind of sort of about
4:23
the same height
4:25
his shoulder and my shoulder came to
4:27
right about there this is pretty
4:29
interesting this tin building still
4:30
remains if you look on the far right the
4:33
cinder block structure
4:35
is still there as well and what's
4:37
fascinating
4:38
is they used to have an extension
4:41
coming off
4:43
the side of this wall
4:45
look closely
4:46
you can see the glue
4:49
that used to hold
4:51
that exterior
4:53
portion
4:55
they used to sit right
4:57
there
4:59
little columbo like research skills
5:02
that's what i that's what i just used
5:04
broken window there on the side of this
5:06
old
5:07
fantastic classic car
5:15
needs a little work from a camera angle
5:15
up on top of that roof
5:17
we are now looking down
5:19
where malachi and the rest of the
5:21
children are walking
5:23
that famous scene outlander
5:26
and the interesting thing is
5:28
you can see these cracks
5:30
in the pavement
5:32
as you're looking down from that
5:34
bird's eye view
5:36
see this crack
5:38
that was there
5:40
in the scene
5:41
and who can forget
5:44
this
5:49
we have your woman outlander
5:50
she still lives i've always wanted to do
5:53
that her blood will spill unless you
5:55
give yourself up
5:57
we won't wait much longer
5:59
the night is coming
6:01
the night is
6:02
his time
6:04
outlander
6:06
outlander baby you don't hear so well
6:13
i can't be the only person that showed
6:13
up out here and done that
6:16
you kind of have to right it's always an
6:18
interesting feeling visiting a location
6:21
that you've seen
6:22
either on tv or the big screen
6:24
so many times
6:26
now i'm just
6:27
cruising through town
6:29
on to the next destination which is
6:31
about 10 miles or so down the road
6:35
thankfully it looks like the commute
6:36
from point a to point b
6:38
is all soybean
6:40
that's a good thing because i don't know
6:42
if i can handle
6:43
looking at stalks of course wait
6:46
wait no
7:03
okay it's not that bad
7:03
just calm down outside
7:05
it's all right as i'm just pulling in
7:07
the outskirts of town
7:09
notice the sign there are two four-leaf
7:11
clovers on either side of it in the
7:13
movie the sign for gatlin has two pieces
7:16
of corn
7:18
pretty much on the same sides
7:20
coincidence
7:21
you decide the interiors of the cafe i
7:24
mentioned earlier were filmed inside a
7:26
real diner that burned down at this
7:29
location about 10 years ago in fact you
7:32
can still see some of the concrete
7:35
from the foundation a pretty intense
7:38
opening scene
7:40
this is where the insanity
7:42
began and if you need further
7:45
confirmation look at the buildings
7:47
behind isaac and his hat there
7:50
they are the same buildings
7:53
that you see
7:54
across the road
8:03
he was standing there approving
8:03
of what was going down
8:05
you evil little bugger
8:07
and it appears as if
8:10
the house
8:12
is not currently occupied
8:16
wow
8:19
different paint color
8:22
but it looks
8:23
exactly the same that now iconic
8:26
famous screenshot
8:28
of them standing in the yard with their
8:30
weapons and
8:32
sickles
8:34
oh my goodness it happened right here
8:37
that's where they built the fake cellar
8:38
door
8:40
this side of those two windows the long
8:42
and short window side by side
8:46
and they would have pretended to walk
8:48
out of the basement
8:51
right there however when he's walking
8:53
towards the cornfield
8:55
from the back
8:57
of the home
8:58
there really is
9:01
corn back here
9:04
oh my
9:06
look how tall this is
9:20
you have to wonder if anyone lives here
9:20
or not
9:35
it's the very same doorway he entered
9:35
just how windy it is
9:37
adds to the ambiance
9:39
and the crickets and other bugs and
9:41
noises that are
9:42
all around me just listen listen closely
9:44
for a second
10:02
okay moving on have to drive up a ways
10:02
to get to the next couple spots at first
10:04
i thought this train wasn't moving
10:06
but in fact
10:08
it's careening along at a nice little
10:10
pace
10:11
even though i'm going faster than it is
10:14
not that it's a race or
10:16
anything i don't think it's a race
10:20
wait is it a race many years ago there
10:22
used to be a service station
10:25
this is where they met up with the
10:26
mechanic who said you don't need to go
10:29
to gatlin
10:30
and his dog sarge ran off in the
10:32
cornfield
10:34
right after they drove
10:36
that direction really nothing left of
10:38
the location whatsoever except
10:41
the driveway pull-off
10:43
and then over here
10:44
there's a nice little chunk of
10:47
concrete
10:55
where it once stood not sure why i did
10:55
that tap dance back there but
10:58
but i did
11:00
it's now a roadway in
11:04
but this is the location that they
11:06
celebrated the birthday
11:08
the doors are much less colorful
11:11
than they were back then linda hamilton
11:15
did that dance
11:17
right inside don't quote me on this
11:20
but i think inside room
11:22
122
11:24
right in there
11:25
someone's staying inside there i don't
11:27
want to bother them but
11:29
i'm pretty sure that's the room
11:54
get away from here
11:54
get back not who you're looking for
12:00
i'm
12:00
warning you
