0:03 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
