0:41 years ago and 100 years right now

0:45 there's no bad men craze for Carnage

0:47 running around me but in

0:50 1964 in 2,000

0:53 Maniacs right over here on this very

0:56 spot was a death machine at the top of

1:00 of the death machine was a humongous

1:07 Boulder that crushed a young woman it's

1:07 getting kind of dark out here but look

1:09 straight ahead you'll notice the

1:10 bathrooms over there on the side of the

1:12 band shell and the stairway Straight

1:14 Ahead there there's some stairs you back

1:17 back out will know that right here stood

1:19 a wooden contraption that I like to call

1:23 the death machine right up there was a

1:27 boulder crushed the woman they were

1:30 standing right around in this area

1:31 throwing the

1:40 baseball now take a look at this tree

1:43 watch how this tree forks it go straight

1:46 up and then it

1:48 Forks the key word here is the forking

1:58 tree

2:07 very same tree that Forks Straight Ahead

2:07 you'll see in the

2:08 screenshot with the big 18wheeler

2:10 driving past in the screenshot here the

2:13 camera was up a little bit

2:16 higher forking tree wasn't quite as

2:25 big now if you look straight ahead back

2:25 there you're going to see a bench that

2:28 bench all the way over there is actually

2:30 in the movie in this screenshot I'm

2:32 going to show you

2:35 now I'm actually going to sit in the

2:37 bench used in 2000 Maniacs you ready for

2:46 this Herer Gordon Lewis chose this spot

2:50 the back side of this for one of the

2:52 cartoons mov let took a little bit of

2:54 research but we all know research is fun

2:58 okay here we are behind the back side of

3:00 the Welcome Center which is use some

3:02 sort of government agency now one thing

3:04 I want you to see is take a look at the

3:05 brick up you remember I was saying the

3:07 brick check this out notice this hole

3:09 here this building was built later but

3:12 if you look at that crevice there and

3:13 that

3:14 door if you were to come around this

3:22 way right around

3:22 here stand on top of where that roof is

3:25 and

3:25 remove remove this building we would

3:29 have this shot right here going down

3:46 alley oh forget it let's get back to a

3:47 horse

3:48 race so that's pretty cool when you

3:50 think about it and why would anybody go

3:51 to this much trouble to find these spots

3:54 of the

3:55 1964 B film why cuz it's a classic man

3:59 20 Maniacs paved the way for one of my

4:02 favorite

4:03 movies Texas Chainsaw Massacre people

4:06 who made Texas Chainsaw Massacre saw

4:09 2,000 maniacs and then a decade later

4:12 decided to make Texas Chainsaw Massacre

4:15 so one of my favorite movies and pretty

4:18 much one of the iconic horror films of

4:20 all time was inspired by a movie filmed

4:24 right here in St

4:26 Cloud this ain't the best sentennial

4:28 anybody

4:34 one of the opening shots of the movie

4:34 when all the town folk are running

4:36 towards Pleasant Valley sign for the

4:41 way is where the Centennial happened and

4:44 all the 200000 Maniacs craved Mad Men
