welcome everyone Adam the whoo here
0:03
today's adventure brings us all around
0:05
the Greater Los Angeles area to traverse
0:08
the filming locations the spots in the
0:12
1984 horror film classic from Wes Craven
0:17
a Nightmare on Elm Street there's a lot
0:21
to cover I'm inviting you to join me
0:24
shalyah
0:26
watch out Deacon there's a dog barking
0:29
I'm on the corner there a deacon is
0:35
tagging along he's gonna help me do a
0:36
little filming mash up some of the spots
0:39
also a big fan of the genre and how
0:43
appropriate is there's cobwebs all here
0:47
along this hedge watch out you're gonna
0:50
be attacked by cobs now there is quite a
0:52
bit of construction as you can see by
0:54
this fence on the left but should still
0:58
be able to match up this particular
1:00
location nothing really sets the tone of
1:04
creepiness than a jump roping rhyme that
1:10
took place right on the side of this
1:11
hill the little girls were I guess in
1:16
their own way kind of giving a word of
1:18
warning notice the concrete and brick
1:23
pillar still there
1:27
the child holding the dodge ball just
1:30
next to it there on the left and then
1:33
pulling up here Johnny Depp was driving
1:35
his automobile there are other cars
1:37
parked here but he would have stopped
1:38
right about here
1:39
Oh grrrrrr 805 right about there I often
1:45
wonder the gentlemen on the motorcycle
1:48
was he part of the cast or was he just a
1:52
random person driving by that makes way
1:57
in the shot because kind of does this
1:58
like unusual u-turn in the middle of the
2:01
street and they just left it in there
2:03
now this angle they use it a little bit
2:04
different lens zoomed in but notice the
2:07
pole there between the five trees it
2:10
looks like four but the second third one
2:12
are kind of meshed together that would
2:15
be the five trees there and there's that
2:17
pole so all the high schooler's kind of
2:21
standing right about in this section
2:23
before glen goes in the school him and
2:26
his friends were congregated here and
2:28
what I like to call the black dahlia
2:30
steps looks the same all these years
2:34
later you know - the green fence line
2:44
I also like to look at reverse angles
2:44
when the camera was facing this
2:46
direction the backdrop once i zoom in
2:49
it's pretty much the same the archways
2:51
entrances to that home identical it
2:56
really is too bad this is completely
2:58
covered it really is an impressive
3:00
structure also later on in the film
3:03
Nancy comes running out and she stands
3:06
right about over here right after she
3:09
burns her arm during the dream sequence
3:13
she had to wake herself up and it worked
3:15
but it left a mark hey you want to keep
3:21
moving on yep this ass bestest ridden
3:29
abandoned former jail is where the
3:33
boiler room scenes took place
3:36
Freddy's lair all locked up very ominous
3:42
looking even from the outside imagine
3:45
being in there in the damp darkness of
3:48
it lots of razor and barbed wire still
3:54
up and the old guard station
4:06
judging by the graffiti it is evident
4:06
plenty of people have been in here in
4:08
the past but as of now no access
5:14
from one skyline view to another a
5:14
cityscape there in the distance
5:16
established in the late 1800s this is
5:20
Evergreen Cemetery
5:23
the chapel here on the right certainly
5:26
has quite an aura of ambiance about it
5:56
to pinpoint the precise spot of the
5:56
burial location notice the headstones
5:59
here in the foreground one with the
6:01
cross above the marker and then also
6:06
this particular angle notice on top of
6:09
that is a very unique kind of like a a
6:15
broken sculpture you use that to match
6:20
this up now you are looking at where it
6:23
took place
6:31
framed up the side there's that cross
6:31
right there and it was a sliding shot
6:36
and here is that very unique item on the
6:41
headstone
6:51
all the actors were here cast and crew
6:51
all around I always found that
6:53
interesting that they featured rods
6:56
funeral and everyone here mourning his
7:00
passing when you know half of those on
7:03
site considered him to be the murderer
7:06
and how come we never see Tina's funeral
7:10
who suffered a very horrific fate just
7:14
past that clearing is where I just was
7:17
this was a tough one to find quite a bit
7:20
of wandering took place the chapel the
7:22
back side of the chapel straight ahead
7:25
so if you decide to pay a visit and
7:27
cannot hunt it down just to use this as
7:32
your coordinates trekking back across
7:34
the property where Nancy was sitting on
7:36
these very steps at the chapel while her
7:40
father was approaching from this
7:42
direction that monument could be seen as
7:47
he walked towards where I'm standing
7:48
currently she then sat in the passenger
7:51
seat of her mother's vehicle which was
7:55
parked here on the side of the cult or
7:59
McReynolds monument and then drove off
8:06
that direction
8:15
just to give a little frame of reference
8:15
with these screenshots here's the one
8:19
the other and the third name the IV
8:26
Chapel I was noticing even back in 1984
8:29
some water damage was starting to rear
8:32
its head and current day it has really
8:35
taken a foothold and chipped away there
8:39
at the bottom two steps she was sitting
8:43
on the third
8:51
we're going to get out of here let's do
8:51
it gotta keep moving on
9:02
in reality the police station is a
9:02
public library and she walks up the hill
9:06
in the dream sequence between the pole
9:09
on the right and the pillar next to the
9:11
stairs on that incline is where she went
9:14
up to look into the jail cell heading
9:16
that direction but first to walk up
9:19
these very stairs we're on a number of
9:21
occasions different characters stepped
9:24
up camera facing the opposite way
9:28
naturally this would be a different
9:31
perspective
9:32
heading into what was the police station
9:38
unmistakable architecture including
9:40
these items on the side of the wall
9:44
which can be seen very prominently
9:47
example Aysen point
9:51
taking the same footsteps
9:55
the pathway
10:10
this is the window the second to the
10:10
right
10:11
she would have peeked down in there
10:15
that's awesome
10:17
notice on the right that little
10:19
indentation carving in the rockwork
10:23
moved back the leaves there's that
10:26
little indentation I was just referring
10:29
to there's the window I am very happy to
10:34
report this one makes me truly excited a
10:37
classic moment where she's calling out
10:39
for her boyfriend still exists
10:45
I did not realize that was the case but
10:49
all the markings on the side of the
10:51
building just to the right of where
10:55
those windows are
11:01
just imagine this fence line here that
11:01
has been placed being removed back in
11:04
the early 80s and the camera would have
11:07
been tilted standing here in the foliage
11:10
and Freddy Krueger was behind a bush
11:25
Wow cramming my body through this
11:25
section I believe I can get nearly the
11:29
correct angle
12:01
you wouldn't know it at first but one of
12:01
the most iconic structures and all of
12:05
scary movies is right off Sunset
12:08
Boulevard in Hollywood down this road
12:13
it's incredible to think just how much
12:16
took place not only in the yard itself
12:20
of this home but also on the porch
12:24
through the door and up in the windows
12:30
up to the right just above the archway
12:33
the second floor the first wind up from
12:37
the middle on the right was Nancy's room
12:41
another scene was she's running from
12:43
Freddie she peeks her head out and yells
12:46
across the street there's a first window
12:49
to the gap they are on the left and then
12:55
right down here Krueger pops up and they
12:58
have a little wrestling moment right in
13:01
there that very portion of the grass
13:04
between these two trees where Glynn pops
13:06
out what she's trying to alert him
13:09
wondering if he's still awake watching
13:12
her during the dream sequence just here
13:14
on the right he kind of pops in and lets
13:16
her know he's still around
13:18
and speaking of directly hattie corner
13:20
is where Johnny Depp's character would
13:24
have resided very top left-hand side
13:27
that door that's also a window that's
13:30
where he was on the phone looking across
13:32
the street that his girlfriend
13:34
screenshot of his window there the
13:37
lights are on and who honestly could
13:39
forget when the mom gets yank through
13:42
the top of the door opening
13:45
I'd definitely had to hurt
13:53
more rhyming and jump-roping in the yard
13:53
notice the two trees with feet the
13:56
branch is kind of working upward both of
13:58
them to the right these are the two I am
14:01
referring to the one here on the left
14:05
has had one of the branches removed just
14:10
kind of pan around the girls would have
14:13
been right here in this patch of grass
14:15
that's where they were doing their
14:17
skipping and singing very distinct
14:20
looking one there across the way it's
14:22
like eight trunks emerging upward which
14:26
obviously means Glen's car is right here
14:32
in this spot there's that tree with all
14:36
the trunks
14:44
Thank You boys for mommy
14:46
arrive now on Glendon Avenue in Venice
14:52
see where this plywood has been placed
14:56
this is where Nancy was meandering down
14:59
this sidewalk and she witnessed the
15:02
arrest taking place at the end of the
15:07
road she walks past this very door 16:22
15:14
and you'll notice right over that wall
15:18
there is an archway see it a little bit
15:22
clearer perspective back in the 80s
15:24
before the partition was built
15:34
right there just to the left behind it
15:34
as she continues to meander she notices
15:37
very interesting character watching from
15:43
this corner okay you're doing a good job
15:48
you're playing the part I don't remember
15:49
him having any lines he just kind of
15:52
just like looks he just kind of just
15:53
stares
15:54
so just stare your motivation is to just
15:57
stare they got their man took him down
16:00
right in the center of the street I
16:09
believe that directional arrow is the
16:09
same one from way back then most likely
16:13
at least three and a half decades later
16:17
35 years plus that signage has been
16:21
there and noticed the webbing it has
16:24
been created glistening in the wind it's
16:28
a nice touch just a couple miles over
16:32
Millwood Avenue and electric court a
16:36
place that needs no introduction
16:38
Oh once you see it
16:40
I bet since then it's been difficult to
16:43
get a good night's lumber inside that
16:46
home
16:48
Tina's home
16:59
and as incredible as the front of the
16:59
building is it's what's around back that
17:05
really has me enamoured
17:27
this is it just to put this in
17:27
perspective the shadow being cast there
17:30
with his hat against that wooden frame
17:34
door behind the trash cans look at the
17:38
wood slats of the door precisely the
17:41
same ones there are two sets the one the
17:46
shadow was cast upon is this one as I
17:50
take a couple steps back you can see
17:54
where she turned this corner as concrete
17:58
stairs are the same she was walking this
18:03
direction how unusual
18:06
are the ornaments upon this building
18:10
here which was also on site during
18:14
filming
19:10
that's me whistling that's not it's not
19:10
the baby Fred not
19:29
a little bit of the architecture has
19:29
changed just a bit that house this looks
19:33
slightly different than it did back then
19:35
but that's where Johnny Depp ate his non
19:38
biodegradable container filled fast-food
19:42
meal she however was a little more
19:44
enamored with the book she was reading
19:47
one thing I was noticing when they did
19:50
the close-up angles it was not up here
19:53
on this area of the bridge because
19:55
notice the little screw markings into
19:59
the steel and the wood topping so when
20:01
she places the cover of the book here it
20:06
was either on a soundstage or somewhere
20:08
else
20:08
totally not on this angled style bridge
20:12
support also painted a totally different
20:15
color a bluish hue as opposed to to this
20:18
white version pretty interesting and
20:21
screwless in the in the close-up angles
20:26
interesting the things that you can
20:27
notice especially like I'm noticing this
20:30
is not wanting to focus okay there goes
20:38
deikun do your best Johnny Depp
20:38
impression that's good
20:46
yeah chow down did you pull that out of
20:51
a non biodegradable container you just
20:58
had an imaginary one isn't that enough
21:06
one of the last spots of the day I
21:06
should say evening
21:07
now the nightfall has reared its head as
21:09
the interiors of this school were used
21:13
for the hallway saints and a few others
21:16
obviously the school is closed and doors
21:20
are locked but still wanted to swing by
21:22
and even though during hours you
21:25
probably would not have been able to
21:26
wander around inside there however it
21:29
appears as if and get a little peek in
21:32
doors by looking through this glass door
21:37
frame oh yes this looks very familiar
21:53
looks eerily familiar no running in the
21:53
halls
22:07
