welcome everyone Adam is the whoo here
0:04
today's adventure brings us in and
0:07
around the outskirts with the Greater
0:09
Los Angeles area as I traverse quite a
0:12
few miles to hunt down the locations
0:15
from the 1981 horror film classic sequel
0:20
Halloween 2 which over time has
0:23
developed its own passionate group of
0:28
followers providing you to join me shall
0:33
you and tagging along once again it's
0:37
Deacon cobwebs again after being shot 6
0:49
well actually technically 7 times if
0:52
you're counting plummeted from that very
0:57
balcony notice how there's a window in
1:01
the middle not a door and this current
1:05
day and age the body would have rested
1:08
right where this Bush now sets the
1:13
imprint of the shape there in the grass
1:19
Loomis with a look of confusion on his
1:22
face wondering where the heck the body
1:26
went after all the activity taking place
1:29
the neighbor strolls out into his yard
1:31
located next door stating that he's been
1:35
trick-or-treated to death tonight you
1:39
don't know what death is also can be
1:41
seen very prominently
1:44
in the scene where Laurie was brought
1:47
out in the stretcher right out of that
1:51
doorway and then rolled along into the
1:56
ambulance this direction now the facade
2:02
has been changed a lot since the early
2:04
eighties but notice a young Dana Carvey
2:07
there in the Hat and long-sleeve flannel
2:11
he would have been right here getting
2:13
instructions from his coworker the news
2:17
anchor also on this very same Road his
2:21
where sheriff Brackett is driving his
2:24
police car around right past this very
2:27
thick treed up yard the other spot light
2:32
shining out the driver's side window
2:34
facing me
2:36
notice the formation and angles of the
2:38
branches and that lamppost appears to be
2:45
still there as well as the fence but
2:49
there's the lamppost
2:59
very close in proximity all four homes
2:59
either side-by-side or directly across
3:03
the street from each other just a
3:07
stone's throw a rather deep cut only
3:11
shown for a moment the interiors of this
3:14
building established as the YWCA studio
3:19
Club located at the corner of Lexington
3:23
Avenue and Lodi Place and what we're
3:26
looking for the building on the left
3:29
dreama sequence a young michael sitting
3:32
in a chair on that left window notice
3:35
the fireplace in the middle and two
3:38
other very distinctive windows to the
3:42
right here's a historical photo I found
3:44
from way back in the day with the
3:47
fireplace very prominent looking at it
3:49
from the opposite perspective there's
3:51
the two windows fireplace in the middle
3:56
and he would have been sitting
3:59
right through this very one in fact if
4:03
you look closely at the scene you could
4:07
see this metal grate right here on the
4:12
opposite side of his head which means
4:15
the chair and himself was sitting right
4:20
there god I gave a creepy stare
4:28
here's those bars quite a lot took place
4:28
in this neighborhood
4:30
the iconic Myers home was not always
4:33
located here used to be just down the
4:35
way about a block or so as well as quite
4:38
a few scenes that I will meander over to
4:41
shortly but just wanted to feast my eyes
4:44
on this for just a bit
4:58
less than one Street over behind that
4:58
property is this famous alleyway might
5:04
look more familiar the closer I get to
5:07
this section ringing a bell interesting
5:19
that a dog is barking because in the
5:23
film from Michael's perspective walking
5:26
towards me down this pathway shifts and
5:31
looks that way to see some
5:33
trick-or-treaters and then all of a
5:36
sudden barking dog was right around
5:42
there and as his head pans up to look
5:47
down this direction the X on the pole
5:53
right up in there that can be seen still
5:59
around present day x marks the spot
6:09
except it's now covered in foliage and a
6:09
second pole has sprung up next to it the
6:12
two garage doors still exist where he
6:17
took cover and hid right over here can't
6:21
get the precise angle because this fence
6:24
has been erected but the two doors and
6:28
Loomis would have been at thee in Loomis
6:46
what are you doing after he witnesses
6:46
all that yelling he shifts along passes
6:50
this window which is illuminated and off
6:54
into the elrod so he begins to walk this
6:57
way
6:58
towards the alley and then he stops and
7:04
looks down the alley
7:05
sees the trick-or-treaters it walks over
7:10
here dog barking and then he begins to
7:18
walk down the alley passing the pole
7:25
with the X on it and he begins to walk
7:39
this way he sees Loomis and then he
8:02
disappears where those fences and then
8:14
up to mr. and mrs. L rods to get the
8:18
knife brought a couple different masks
8:22
the part two version and then this kinda
8:26
sorta knockoff one for the Ben tramer
8:30
character because he wasn't really it
8:34
wasn't really the shape
8:42
hey you're playing Ben tramer whoa boy I
8:42
forgot to tell you you're gonna put this
8:44
whole thing on oh boy
8:46
this included not a lot of breathing
8:49
Ubik it's warm in these
9:22
after being yelled at bracket stops his
9:22
car right here at the threshold of
9:26
Meridian and Magnolia Street right at
9:32
the cross points and they see case a
9:34
mistaken identity and innocent
9:36
trick-or-treater
9:38
stop get back stop is it him
9:43
stop stop in an obvious state of
9:47
confusion under what was going on he
9:49
forgot to look both ways when crossing
9:51
the street careful cars move really
9:57
quick through here brace for impact this
10:00
certainly is not going to end well the
10:08
speeding car pushed him into the side of
10:10
the van and then an explosion upon
10:14
contact right there a fiery explosion
10:23
the thing is they never really knew if
10:26
it was who they were looking for burning
10:28
up in that inferno is it hab is it him
10:35
or not and you would never know it until
10:37
you're here movie magic but the original
10:40
location of the Myers house as they
10:42
approached it in this screenshot was
10:45
right behind me they were walking
10:48
towards me where I am currently but
10:51
those buildings in the background this
10:53
is what it looks like modern-day
10:56
slightly different facade
11:04
what the heck's going on it's up in the
11:04
tree
11:06
hiding up there in the foliage see ya
11:10
whenever I think of the second film
11:13
think of the officer that climbed out
11:15
that window on the right there and tried
11:17
to calm down the crowd of people
11:19
throwing rocks bottles sticks climbed on
11:23
the ledge a roof line it didn't do any
11:26
good they just kept throwing him and he
11:27
climbed back in I figured I throw that
11:30
little amusing anecdote in okay moving
11:34
on I wonder if anyone in recent days has
11:41
written the word Samhain in blood on a
11:45
chalkboard behind those walls sure hope
11:51
not
11:51
the window that was shattered was the
11:54
third one over from this set so would
12:00
have been one with a yellow sticker
12:03
placed on it that's how he got in from
12:06
the opposite direction a very
12:07
discouraged Loomis was escorted to a
12:12
police car that was parked right here he
12:18
was told he had to leave a little frame
12:21
of reference but what it looked like now
12:27
in Sierra Madre at kirstine court very
12:32
unique
12:35
stumped right here and from this angle
12:39
is where guy in a cowboy hat was
12:42
approaching where I'm standing and the
12:46
news was on informing Michael that the
12:52
hospital is where he needed to head
12:54
bumped into him right here
12:56
just think how difficult it would have
12:58
been to find Laurie if he didn't have
13:00
that boom box of blarin he would have
13:03
never known or at least been a wandered
13:05
around Hatton field a lot longer until
13:08
it happened too easy to find directions
13:10
just follow the sign posted on the side
13:14
of that pole right there just below this
13:19
one also in the general area of Sierra
13:23
Madre the corner of Montecito and West
13:26
Montecito
13:28
just off to the left is Alice's house
13:31
after leaving the Elrod's he now has a
13:35
knife he meandered right along the side
13:39
of this property and down the hill looks
13:44
pretty much the same even that little
13:47
knobby item on the side of the wall
13:50
still there Alice would have stood kind
13:54
of in the area of that that door the
13:57
back shed and yelled to make sure that
14:00
mrs. Elrod was okay of course new
14:03
paintjob
14:03
or two has happened over the years but
14:06
other than that pretty identical notice
14:08
the slats on the porch outside the door
14:10
and the air conditioner unit I wasn't
14:13
for certain that the interiors were shot
14:16
inside this home stub and now after
14:18
seeing this that pretty much pretty much
14:22
proves it
14:27
her demise right in that living room
14:27
really fascinated by
14:30
the little knots
14:42
very unique
14:42
so you're gonna do the iconic walk I'm
14:46
gonna do my best
14:47
it's not every day you can dawn this
14:50
walk along the sidewalk where Myers did
14:53
in the same fashion was looking for a
14:56
kid with a boombox to bump into me
15:46
it was just outside Hansen dam on a tiny
15:49
Road where Loomis forcefully persuaded
15:52
an officer to turn his cruiser around
15:57
and head back into town trees are still
16:01
here
16:02
in fact this particular one has the
16:06
similar fork even though it's grown over
16:10
the decades extreme spin out right here
16:15
on the pavement
16:16
I guess firing a warning shot
16:20
technically sometimes does do its job
16:23
now this is a very obscure spot but just
16:28
before they arrived at the hospital the
16:30
ambulance pulls through this parking lot
16:31
at the Westfield Santa Anita Mall the
16:35
angle of the parking lot and the lights
16:38
are still the same except there's a lot
16:39
more cars here during the day than there
16:41
was in that evening shot and just like
16:44
that the vehicles are erased well all of
16:47
them except the ambulance
16:55
there it is the hospital building number
16:55
10 right about in here is where Michael
16:59
can be seen in the side rear view mirror
17:03
in the structure on the left that says
17:05
10a that's where some pumps where the
17:08
child got out of the car with a razor in
17:12
his mouth behind it is where Laurie
17:15
Strode was taken into the hospital right
17:18
down there is where mr. Garrett met his
17:20
demise and a cat jumped out of a
17:22
dumpster you can see the sliding door
17:26
right up there on the little porch
17:28
section it says keep door closed the
17:31
same signage just kind of shift to the
17:33
right a little bit we drive off sorry
17:38
mr. Garrett you're just doing your job
17:42
decided to go ahead and park and jump
17:45
out of the vehicle for a moment just
17:48
kind of soak all this uh interesting
17:50
thing is the final shot of the film took
17:55
place right here on a crane as the
17:58
ambulance went off that direction it
18:01
looks a lot different a lot of ways very
18:05
similar a lot of foliage here now even
18:08
the ramp remains some sort of heavy-duty
18:12
piece of machinery trash compactor sits
18:34
might not want to slide that door open
18:34
you never know who's behind it rolled
18:40
her in this very sliding door in fact
18:43
the brick still remains
18:45
they built a facade right here for these
18:49
two walls connect and up on the side
18:52
right up there is where the Haddonfield
18:55
Memorial Hospital logo was placed just
18:58
to refresh your memory front of the
19:01
hospital and the little alley side way
19:08
where the cat pops out
