today's adventure brings us in and
0:03
around to these mountains but do not be
0:06
deceived by its beauty
0:10
there could be goblins in there welcome
0:13
everyone Adams whoo here I have
0:16
successfully made the pilgrimage to Utah
0:19
hunting down the locations of the 1990
0:23
film troll - a sequel that has
0:26
absolutely nothing to do with its
0:29
predecessor highly regarded as one of
0:31
the worst movies ever made but over time
0:34
it has developed quite a cult following
0:37
and me and others included really enjoy
0:48
delving deep into all the nooks and
0:48
crannies of that particular subject
0:50
matter and that's what's happening now
0:53
we're heading to nilbog join me shall
0:57
you the first spot is the presents house
1:01
where they switched homes with people
1:03
from the country now this structure is
1:06
now gone
1:07
in 2006 see the satellite image it was
1:11
still there in this field and the pond
1:16
down below the property but fast forward
1:19
one more year to 2007 completely gone
1:23
and that pond covered up and they built
1:27
a another retention area a big hole in
1:30
the ground right about there in this
1:34
2007 image was where the house was in
1:39
fact a few other properties have been
1:40
built since those days the angle of the
1:44
descending Hills pinpoints the exact
1:49
spot right there the entire farm has
1:54
been torn down makes sense though it was
1:57
a place of evil it was an evil place the
2:00
bottom right of the screen a little
2:03
bunker
2:05
and then up here on top of this roof is
2:08
a skylight right there on the roof
2:12
because if you're looking at it from the
2:15
perspective of where the farmhouse used
2:16
to be you can see it in this screenshot
2:19
both of those structures right there
2:24
dunt dunt dunt after wonder if those
2:28
construction guys have any idea that a
2:31
man was burned alive in that exact spot
2:34
right there for real
2:37
he caught fire right there grandpa
2:43
are you really in hell no but I know a
2:47
trick that a friend of mine who went
2:49
there taught me possibility that one day
2:53
these future tenants will find a soft
2:57
ball green goo riding all over it and
3:01
they'll have nightmares for at least a
3:04
week I should also add there's not a
3:06
whole heck of a lot of information out
3:08
there where these places are as I did a
3:12
little pre-planning and research I
3:14
discovered that they're very spread out
3:16
I'll be doing a lot of driving this
3:19
historic train station kind of gives the
3:21
vibe of where I need to be the cloud
3:25
covered hills back there give away the
3:28
approximate area has based on where he
3:31
was riding the skateboard you can even
3:33
see how they go upward and downward in
3:35
the same fashion my first impression was
3:39
that this driver's-license building took
3:41
the place and it's sat there next to
3:44
this after racking my brain for quite
3:47
some time whether it was to the left or
3:49
the right of this I just couldn't put my
3:51
finger on it and all of a sudden I
3:53
discovered it's one block over it's been
3:56
torn down bulldozed this cross streets
4:00
right here you're following that truck
4:05
turn that corner it would have been
4:07
located there old satellite image proves
4:12
that
4:22
very faint but that's it riding his
4:22
board along this path he got to this
4:26
point and heard a noise an abandoned
4:30
building was in front of him with an
4:32
open door and that door is right where
4:38
that driveway is now some things he was
4:41
not supposed to hear or see happened in
4:45
this now parking lot and as I make my
4:47
way this direction see that telephone
4:52
pole that's where his dad was standing
4:54
heard of streaming and came running
4:57
inside point of reference of him darting
5:00
at full speed now the shrubbery just off
5:04
to the side is no longer there they
5:07
removed the big tree but there is still
5:08
a bush and just to the left that
5:11
building still exists while driving on
5:14
this thoroughfare only one thing could
5:16
make it better
5:18
start singing come on sing that song I
5:21
like so much row row row your boat
5:25
gently down the stream merrily merrily
5:28
merrily merrily life is but a dream
5:30
looks as if the signs still here they
5:34
pull over
5:36
get a closer look it goes by very
5:39
quickly when you're watching it on
5:40
screen
5:41
hence the slight blurriness very unique
5:45
rock formations which are right there
5:48
just to the side of the signage up on
5:51
the hill very distinct looking appears
5:54
to be a couple normal rocks on top of
5:57
the long cylinder ones
5:59
that's different some rocky terrain up
6:02
ahead up here a nice dry very pretty
6:06
countryside
6:15
as they drove along a very dismayed
6:15
Holly expressed her disappointment that
6:18
her boyfriend couldn't make it and over
6:20
her shoulder is a railroad bridge there
6:24
it is right down there it is common
6:27
knowledge and folklore what lives under
6:31
bridges some control - they did not
6:33
refer to them by that name they call
6:35
them goblins
6:38
kinda sorta kinda sorta same thing
6:41
here's what's left of credence their
6:45
queen her homestead weird a warning if
6:51
you're trying to escape for some
6:52
solitude after getting a stick lodged
6:55
close to your shoulder area
6:57
you'll probably get turned into a plant
7:00
and there and eaten securely locked and
7:05
a heavy-duty gate surrounds the entire
7:10
premises its seen better days
7:14
however it is nice that parts of it
7:18
still remain even though the stairs they
7:21
climbed have been engulfed in rubble
7:24
from the front of the building however
7:27
there still are a couple distinctive
7:29
features especially over here near the
7:32
window the concrete pieces that are
7:35
protruding out where the bricks are
7:38
those still remain and the outline of
7:41
the front window as well definitely
7:45
don't want anyone in here but through
7:48
the beauty of a zoom lens we can see the
7:53
stairs I was just mentioning top left of
7:57
what you're looking at you could see a
7:59
couple of them protruding out there
8:07
camera angle would have faced downward
8:07
as they walked in if only they knew what
8:11
they were getting themselves into don't
8:13
go in there it's it's too late towards
8:18
the back and near the top was the loft
8:22
where she was gobbled up and he couldn't
8:26
move he just had to sit and watch inside
8:31
they're facing the opposite direction
8:33
his back would have been to that very
8:36
wall as he watched in a horror they're
8:41
eating her and then they're going to eat
8:43
me oh my god
8:49
amongst the fields be a nice place for a
8:54
jog a little run which is precisely
9:00
where Drew decided to do that very thing
9:06
sheriff Jean freaked yes that was his
9:10
real name pulled his car from behind
9:15
that Bush onto the road rolled his
9:17
window down and asked if he needed a
9:19
ride facing that direction
9:23
he agreed loaded into the cop car which
9:28
was parked right next to that electrical
9:31
pole he shouldn't have done that
9:34
about a mile down the way it's where he
9:37
chow down on that delicious gooey green
9:40
goodness in between two pieces of bread
9:43
he was driving straight towards me they
9:47
saw those homes and that mountain peak
9:49
has seen how it has back window right up
9:56
there you'll notice the letter M it's
10:00
placed up there stands for Morgan the
10:04
name of this small community but in all
10:07
reality you might know it as another
10:11
town quite a few scenes happened on this
10:14
very corner including the sign that was
10:19
placed right there
10:20
it's Goblin spelled backwards this is
10:24
their kingdom streetlights have been
10:27
changed and a few renovations but other
10:29
than that it looks exactly the same the
10:32
town's name prominently displayed on the
10:34
train station in real life as well as in
10:40
the movie
10:42
guess they missed that small detail when
10:45
the family pulls up with their minivan
10:48
parked it right there next to the
10:50
general store I now serve liquor and
10:53
there but most likely no coffee it's the
10:56
devil's drink
11:25
a few changes to the exterior since then
11:25
but I noticed right over here on the
11:28
bricks is a massive chip and of course
11:33
that chip still here all these years
11:36
later right there right next to his head
11:40
and more or less standing where he first
11:43
realized what was happening by looking
11:46
in the side rearview mirror while his
11:50
dad sat in a rocking chair right over
11:53
there reading a book about vegetables if
11:57
you watch closely you'll notice a man's
11:59
head peeks around the corner as he rides
12:02
off on a skateboard it's hard to see but
12:06
there's the man's face just kind of
12:09
looming I don't think that was
12:11
intentional and that letter M
12:13
designating the real town's name keeps
12:16
popping up on multiple occasions I mean
12:21
I guess it's hard to avoid it it is a
12:23
very large letter
12:30
stepping inside now I'm noticing the
12:30
fake brickwork and that little
12:33
indentation in the top of the wall is
12:36
still there you can see it between the
12:40
two characters heads and the bar still
12:44
remains even though it's been changed a
12:47
little bit and I was also paying
12:48
attention to this fence which the owner
12:52
said was here when they took over the
12:55
place the local town folk would have
12:57
hung out and peeked around it while
13:00
looking at the minivan drove off it was
13:02
right next to that front that front
13:04
window so it's the same bar you just
13:06
renovate you just renovated it a little
13:07
bit keep waiting for that guy to peek
13:15
his head out of there obviously there's
13:19
no curtain but gosh I just I'm just
13:22
waiting for I just know it's gonna
13:23
happen at any moment
13:33
still have one location to go
13:33
crack some at least 64 miles
13:40
the weights family house their home in
13:40
the city final scenes shot right in
13:46
there came downstairs to realize his
13:48
mother was being eaten alive do you want
13:52
some Joshua
14:00
looks a lot different repainted shudders
14:00
have been removed but this is its use
14:04
not only for the ending of the film but
14:07
also near the beginning when the boys
14:09
took the ladder climbed up to the
14:12
windows the weights family house the
14:14
home in the city that's a pretty good
14:18
