welcome everyone the subject today is
0:09
about an abandoned movie set that is
0:11
sitting on an island in Alabama and the
0:13
movie I'm referring to is the 2003 Tim
0:16
Burton classic big fish basically the
0:19
entire town was built specifically for
0:22
the 2003 film after the movie was
0:24
released and the filming had wrapped up
0:27
Tim Burton left all of the buildings
0:30
basically sitting there on the property
0:31
to rot away this actually included the
0:34
church the dozens of businesses and
0:36
homes leading down the main drag of
0:39
Spectra the imaginary town of Spectra
0:41
and the little weird Corridor that you
0:44
and McGregor actually walked through
0:46
under the mist of Nightfall to get to
0:49
the town now what has happened over the
0:51
years fire vandalism some bulldozers
0:55
came in and knocked down a lot of the
0:56
buildings but I have actually compiled
0:58
some old footage that I actually filmed
1:01
as well as my friends over at Decay is
1:03
headed your way and that is what I am
1:05
going to show you today join me shall
1:39
this is the dark Corridor pathway that
1:39
he took on the way to town man this is
1:41
pretty
1:42
crazy and Tim Burton's stomping ground
1:45
it appearer m out
1:47
ofoam yeah it is styrofoam some sort of
1:50
outer shell on it all this is fake it's
1:54
not real wood there's a chunk of it
1:55
right down
1:57
here that actually hurt but not as bad
2:00
as you think it would cuz look it's like
2:02
Styrofoam on the
2:24
bugs movie Magic here in Alabama this is
2:24
pretty wild look at this this is a fake
2:26
tree look at this completely fake
2:31
nothing real here except me and her
2:35
right there she's real check this out
2:38
set number eight piece there stabilizer
2:41
there it's like a piece of metal
2:43
stabilizes this tree to keep it from
2:46
falling apart during
2:51
filming think I can get through this way
2:51
this is the
2:52
backside of the set check out the
2:55
restructured here make sure that tree
2:57
would stay in place
3:08
definitely changed a lot you can see the
3:08
tree branch is still in the same Arch
3:11
all this is grown over of course and he
3:12
would have walked straight through here
3:14
into the town of
3:34
gentlemen it's amazing what's left of
3:34
this place all decaying I don't think
3:37
anyone's been sitting on this porch in a
3:38
while this fence is pretty
3:42
awesome the faux age faux what does that
3:45
mean that means that first shot they had
3:48
it painted one color and they faked aged
3:50
it the that's true you can see both
3:51
colors there what' you call it faux aing
3:53
B aing
4:12
I think this house here next to the
4:12
church is where they had the dinner
4:13
scene let's go around the back there the
4:17
backside
4:23
here this big chunk of the ceiling has
4:23
actually fallen from up there see where
4:26
all the lighting framework was there for
4:28
the shot they filmed in this room so we
4:30
got to move this to get our
4:32
shot we got to go to
4:47
Dr oh
4:47
yeah high five thanks to Nikki and
4:50
thanks to me we moved that out of the
4:52
way now we have the shot here this is
4:55
the dinner scene shot they were sitting
4:57
right there table would have been there
4:59
would have been
5:01
there right down here below is where the
5:04
little girl stole the shoes right there
5:07
watch out there's mud dobbers there put
5:09
your finger in
5:11
there smash your finger up in there come
5:13
on do
5:24
it you ready to move on yeah that's the
5:24
house there that the giant pushed to get
5:26
back in shape the giant would have been
5:28
standing right there push the house back
5:30
into shape that's the house right
5:39
there it's where the piano would have
5:39
been right there she would have opened
5:41
the
5:47
door now keep in mind at the current
5:47
time of this video most of these
5:49
structures no longer exist they have
5:51
either been burned down by fire or
5:53
vandalized or just completely torn down
5:56
or bulldozed there are a few remaining
5:58
structures but a majority of what you're
6:00
seeing in this video is actually past
6:03
footage either from me or from Decay has
6:06
headed your way we both visited in the
6:08
same year at two different seasons and
6:11
this is all a mishmash of edited footage
6:14
between what they filmed and what I
6:17
filmed one of the first things that was
6:19
actually burned down even before I got
6:21
there was this General Store that you
6:24
see straight ahead and the interesting
6:26
thing is as we walk up to it you will
6:28
notice that the mineral store is
6:30
actually just a facade and the bricks
6:33
that you see really are not actual
6:35
bricks at all this was wafer board look
6:40
at
6:41
this that's not
6:54
brick there's no floor on that church
6:54
there's no floor there's no nothing if
6:55
you look in the
6:56
windows just empty check that out
7:00
completely
7:07
empty well this is one way of getting in
7:07
a building with that giant ant mound
7:09
whoa you're right jab it ready yes yeah
7:13
here's proof that they only fix up the
7:15
things you see in front of the camera
7:17
this is the back side of the
7:18
church never finished never painted
7:21
nothing any clue what this might be kind
7:25
of weird slab of
7:27
concrete on the very back side side I
7:29
wonder if this is where they set up
7:30
their food preparation table maybe this
7:33
was the craft Services
7:59
