0:02
recording of this Monday June 5th 2023 I
0:06
am in the middle of nowhere if you will
0:07
in Lancaster near Lancaster California
0:11
got some Farmland over here
0:14
I am at the spot from the 2005 Rob
0:17
Zombie film doubles Rejects
0:19
dare I say probably one of my favorite
0:21
two Rob Zombie movies between the 2000
0:24
can't remember what year it was
0:25
Halloween the first Halloween
0:27
and Devil's readers probably my two
0:29
favorite house a thousand I like and
0:31
some of the other ones as well I'm also
0:32
here with some friends who have tagged
0:35
along joined big bake on the Move who
0:38
actually drove his rental car out here
0:39
and nerd locations also here as well I
0:43
did a little Recon when I came into town
0:45
and let you guys know
0:47
that Captain spaulding's house is
0:50
completely empty desolate and wide open
0:55
unbelievable see you guys said let's go
0:57
check it out yeah let's go we gotta see
0:59
it what do you think about doubles
1:00
rejects you guys like the film probably
1:02
my favorite Rob okay probably I'm like
1:04
you number two yeah
1:06
a lot of traffic where'd all this
1:08
traffic come from
1:12
there was like no one out here and I was
1:12
a parade
1:24
sleep on this because
1:24
I would think this is probably going to
1:25
be bulldozed at some point in the very
1:27
near future or it's just gonna sit here
1:29
rotting away but I don't want to take a
1:30
chance because you know how filming
1:32
locations go
1:34
sh the wind could blow this place down
1:36
or a match that's true it could burn
1:38
down
1:39
so the like I said the other day when I
1:41
was coming into California I drove past
1:42
here and was like what the heck it's
1:44
wide open so we're gonna go in there and
1:46
check it out I'm inviting you to join me
1:48
nerd locations and big bank on the move
1:54
now years ago three years ago I was out
1:57
here and I covered some of the House of
1:59
a thousand and reject spots and there
2:03
was someone living in this house and
2:05
also someone
2:06
residing quite a few people were
2:09
residing in this trailer and I just kind
2:12
of went with my instincts and said it is
2:14
not safe
2:15
for me to go in here I think there might
2:17
have even been someone living in here as
2:18
well also keep in mind this is the
2:20
middle of the desert and you just never
2:22
really know
2:24
what is lurking in a property
2:27
so I haven't brought his bodyguards
2:29
today so we're here for protection
2:33
we just parked on the side of the street
2:35
bakes rental car
2:37
is kind of intimidating it's a huge SUV
2:40
and we're not small guys so I think
2:44
we're going to be okay
2:46
as we go in here so
2:48
I'm gonna match up a few photos and and
2:50
whatnot but this is the driveway that
2:53
Sid Hague as Captain Spaulding drove
2:56
away it's probably the second or third
2:58
main scene in the movie when he's in
3:00
here with his girlfriend or wife and
3:02
he's having the dream sequence where
3:04
he's with the other woman wakes up it's
3:06
a dramatic scene and drives out here and
3:10
all this looks the same except this is
3:12
really decrepit and falling down also
3:14
there's another scene behind this
3:16
where Bill Mosley takes the band out
3:18
back and that's the end of the band the
3:21
band meets their demise consider him
3:23
Willie effing Wonka is there ooh is
3:26
around the back so we're going to go
3:28
back there too so there was two scenes
3:29
filmed here but you can see
3:31
completely accessible wide open a stiff
3:34
wind could blow this place down so you
3:36
guys want to go in let's do this let's
3:38
do it I'm ready
3:45
again
3:45
completely wide open no windows all the
3:48
windows blown out doors wide open
3:50
everything's busted down
3:52
it just looks like a storm could go
3:54
through here
3:56
and completely tear that part down here
3:58
so Sid's truck was here drives off his
4:01
girlfriend slash wife is yelling and
4:03
he's driving off he's kind of cursing
4:05
and whatnot it's a rated R film
4:07
definitely not probably a family movie
4:09
so I'm just kind of giving that
4:10
disclaimer
4:11
and drives off this way and sits truck
4:15
goes that way Spalding's truck goes that
4:16
way
4:18
and we're just going to walk right in
4:19
the doors the doors open there the doors
4:21
open here you can pretty much just
4:23
completely accessible now there were two
4:24
main scenes also
4:27
here is a
4:29
empty car here
4:31
it's kind of burned out and
4:34
open hood but there was two main scenes
4:36
that took place inside the house all
4:39
match up
4:40
hello
4:50
okay I think we're good I don't think
4:52
there's anyone in here
5:04
okay this was Spalding's bedroom right
5:04
here
5:05
this the scene right there there's the
5:07
bed in fact it's the same mattress
5:08
that's Spalding and the the Dream Woman
5:11
were there and also Spalding and his
5:14
girlfriend slash wife are there
5:16
that's the scene so I'm gonna try to go
5:17
over here
5:21
I don't know what's lurking underneath
5:21
this but
5:27
I think that's the angle there
5:27
that is so basically that's the same
5:29
soiled mattress that they were on that
5:31
was used in the movie
5:33
same wallpaper I believe they have the
5:36
clown sign
5:37
it was like dangling there on the
5:40
what do they call this paneling and he
5:43
walks through there
5:45
so I had the movie on my phone so we'll
5:47
kind of mash up some of the screen grabs
5:48
and stuff too
5:50
I'm not going to be taking any of the
5:51
mattress because it's pretty disgusting
5:54
but uh yeah that's where the magic
5:56
happened right there
6:05
isn't it weird being in here yeah
6:05
okay so here's basically the the angle
6:07
here looks like the lamp's been removed
6:09
but the mattress still in the same spot
6:11
there was a dresser over here you can
6:12
kind of see the indentation of the wall
6:15
over here in the closet and that's the
6:17
same door he walks through same Shades
6:19
over here and the same rainbow wallpaper
6:23
whatever happened to the Clown
6:25
poster of the clown
6:27
whatever it is like the drape that's
6:29
there
6:30
yeah you're basically standing so look
6:32
back at the bed like you're looking at
6:34
your girlfriend or your wife there
6:36
I'm not sure if I'm not sure if they
6:37
were married but I don't think they ever
6:38
say that in the story but yeah you're
6:40
basically Spalding right now
6:41
what's in that room that he's going into
6:48
it's totally I think and you're wearing
6:48
a CBGB shirt so maybe
6:50
it's a it's a very
6:52
very used bathroom
6:55
oh it's been used
6:57
why do you see this oh look at this
6:59
there's camel dollars down here
7:05
am I going to be showing like feces in
7:05
the no no no no it's it's just pretty
7:07
epic you got to show it the bathtub
7:09
looks like somebody just
7:12
a mud bath
7:14
okay yeah so this was the bathroom that
7:16
he was going into
7:17
oh the sink has been
7:20
torn out
7:25
and then so there's the angle there so
7:25
he's going into the bathroom I always
7:26
wondering what he was going into
7:28
that was the bathroom now they never
7:30
showed the bathroom
7:33
what are you looking at they cut squares
7:35
with the mattress though oh people have
7:36
been taking little souvenirs out of here
7:39
so some of the some of the scenes I
7:41
cannot show in the screen grabs because
7:42
I said there's a rated R film so you're
7:45
going to see some uh some adult images
7:47
and whatnot but yeah if you're if you're
7:49
a fan of Rob Zombie's work
7:51
this is a this is a pretty epic spot I'm
7:53
not gonna lie this is like it's hard to
7:55
get like full access to something like
7:57
this
7:58
that's just going to be you know
8:00
eventually just rot away but if you look
8:02
at the
8:04
look at the wallpaper there
8:06
that is just amazing I don't know what
8:07
happened to the curtains someone might
8:09
actually take in those
8:11
we have people have cut off the
8:13
is that the original sheet
8:16
I think the blinds are original yeah I
8:19
think the blinds are too
8:21
all right big bank was just noticing in
8:23
the scene behind where
8:25
where she is when she's kind of like
8:27
threatening
8:28
Spalding this blue towel
8:31
is hanging from that particular
8:33
window there the window's been busted
8:35
out
8:41
and look above your head there that is
8:41
like
8:42
you're basically where the clown poster
8:44
was right there check me out and you can
8:46
I always like kind of matching up little
8:49
like discolorations and like Hues in
8:52
side of the wall and you can kind of
8:54
match it up here where they're here yeah
8:55
you know all this kind of looks the same
8:57
in the
8:58
I don't know it's when you know we're
9:00
nerds yeah you can see over here where
9:02
the little like indentations on the side
9:04
of this are the little kind of white
9:06
splotches there with the like there's
9:07
like some tape that was pulled off and
9:09
there's the little
9:10
indentations and the knots and whatnot
9:12
they're all still the same where he's
9:13
walking in there as shown here
9:16
yeah this side of the discoloration so
9:18
obviously they set dressed a little bit
9:19
of it but the place kind of like
9:20
probably was already falling apart at
9:22
that point
9:23
but when you open this up right here
9:25
along these walls where some very
9:27
graphic images
9:29
from magazines that was like kind of
9:31
plastered along the wall there
9:34
and I'm not seeing any of those they
9:35
probably took all that others me in the
9:37
mirror there kind of peeking through
9:53
all right we're going to go from here so
9:53
just just right around the corner
9:55
from there I'm gonna head through here
9:58
to where some pivotal scenes took place
10:01
not sure if this is structurally sound
10:02
but it looks like it's all right
10:04
and into the kitchen this door was used
10:08
I believe that cabinet was used
10:15
and
10:15
TV was right over here
10:18
where it was they were making the coffee
10:26
this is probably the maybe the chair he
10:26
was sitting at
10:32
the angle was like this
10:32
so they were watching the TV here he was
10:34
very excited about the commercial
10:36
that he was going to hear and
10:38
here's where the drawer was looks like
10:40
someone has already taken it
10:42
this is where the drawer was here
10:45
that he pulled the weapon out of right
10:49
this is a prop
10:51
in a state completely full
10:54
yeah whatever scene it was it was up
10:58
here so crop that's why I want to watch
11:00
the clip but I'm almost positive this
11:02
was the drawer that he pulls out and
11:04
looks like someone has already taken
11:06
that that's already that's gone but this
11:09
is the same tile here
11:12
same wallpaper someone has peeled that
11:14
wallpaper off
11:17
and this is looking this place looks
11:19
like a tornado hit it honestly
11:21
feels like a big Windstorm already kind
11:24
of rolled through here
11:27
all right where that cabinet was there
11:29
was a refrigerator but you could see
11:30
it's the same door so the TV was right
11:33
in front of the window right next to the
11:34
window ledge that's the
11:36
that's the same exact door
11:39
over there got the TV there on the table
11:41
coffee pot there's pulling the cop
11:43
pouring the coffee in and there's the
11:46
angle of the door it's almost kind of
11:47
just in the same exact spot with the
11:49
door open and the same paneling
11:52
behind it so just take that kind of
11:54
cupboard out of the way and put a yellow
11:56
refrigerator
11:57
and that's where he was he was pretty
11:59
mad that the commercial
12:01
got cut off to for the news the news
12:04
from the news station and I just found
12:06
there's a coffee the coffee pot's gone
12:08
but the coffee maker Mr Coffee
12:11
still here
12:13
look there's a cutting board right there
12:15
cutting board in a drawer
12:17
and even more wallpaper behind
12:19
Spalding's head there you got two
12:21
Spaldings in this Frame one on the TV
12:22
and one in
12:23
one in person but you could see right
12:25
next to the window is that very unique
12:27
wallpaper
12:28
that is still here for now
12:30
as shown here
12:34
and that angle when the TV pulls back
12:36
you can see that little
12:38
piece of the window there
12:41
above the TV
12:47
the telephone starts to ring but I
12:47
wanted to show this is kind of
12:48
interesting over here with the wallpaper
12:49
in this blue tile the telephones on the
12:52
other side of that wall so you got the
12:54
door TV was everywhere I just showed but
12:56
let's take a look at this look at the
12:58
blue tile look at these fixtures on the
12:59
wall there's the blue tile and there's
13:02
the
13:03
side of the wall but look there's the
13:05
two nails that those two fixtures were
13:08
like dangling from so there's one of the
13:10
pictures was there
13:11
one was there the nails are still there
13:14
and then the telephone goes around the
13:17
corner was right here someone has ripped
13:19
it completely out of the wall but it was
13:21
right here like someone just took a
13:22
sledgehammer to this
13:27
you can see where it was like almost
13:27
like it was mounted some of the
13:28
electrical stuff was there
13:30
you think that might be the lid of the
13:31
coffee pot I think it is
13:33
can you show your shot where there it is
13:35
it might be
13:37
that's a good eye
13:40
that's wild
13:44
so after he gets off the phone he
13:44
reaches into the drawer there's a
13:46
cutting board above it and the two
13:47
drawers looks like they've been
13:49
ransacked they're not here anymore
13:52
but basically this the the kitchen
13:55
countertop is still there as shown here
14:00
so there's the drawer was pulled up the
14:02
kitchen countertop The Cutting board's
14:03
gone
14:04
so both the items that were shown on
14:06
screen are gone
14:07
I mean just a random person could have
14:10
taken them or
14:11
or what but you can see a lot of stuff
14:13
got a lot of stuff has kind of been gone
14:15
through already if I could store it over
14:17
is also missing I don't know what
14:19
happened to the kitchen table
14:21
somewhere with a someone removed that or
14:24
maybe it was a set dressing but
14:26
would have been cool to see that drawer
14:28
right there
14:30
pretty pretty iconic
14:32
and make some coffee I'm gonna make some
14:34
coffee you want the drawer I don't know
14:38
oh I don't know maybe see if there's a
14:41
fit um no it's a different it's too wide
14:44
I think it's too wide to go in there
14:46
it's like a there's a different color
14:48
too
14:55
but just to kind of show like
14:55
you know based on what the drawer was so
14:57
I found it
14:59
there's like kind of a seams kind of
15:02
drawer which opens up the scene grabs
15:04
the grabs it out of there all right no
15:06
one peeled the wallpaper off the
15:08
wallpaper was already peeled off in the
15:10
film
15:12
right there you could see look all
15:13
papers already removed this place is
15:15
already pretty run down
15:17
probably got a pretty good deal the
15:18
location Scouts found this so it's just
15:21
film out there you can see right there
15:24
if you watch closely you see that little
15:25
indentation a scene
15:27
as well
15:28
that door's pretty pretty epic so
15:31
Spalding likes them NES
15:33
he played that in his uh
15:35
in his off time I guess this is the
15:37
original yeah that's awesome
15:39
what if the Nintendo's laying around
15:41
here anyway
15:42
all right we're also noticing over here
15:44
is a dishwashing strainer also look at
15:48
the discoloration on the side of the
15:50
cabinets those kind of like three dots
15:53
so the dishwasher strainer still here
15:56
right there when he kind of gets ready
15:58
to head out to see those three dots on
16:00
the side of the cabinet and here's where
16:02
the dishwasher strainer was so the dish
16:04
strainer should say for the water we had
16:06
I don't see the top portion of it
16:09
yeah that's the angle there
16:13
all right we're also noticing that that
16:15
cabinet the cupboard the doors have been
16:17
removed but that is the same cupboard
16:20
that is right over there
16:23
so that's that it was pushed up against
16:24
the wall and then that yellow
16:26
refrigerator was wedged over there in
16:28
the corner
16:29
and the very unique paneling behind it
16:31
and the light bulb that was right up
16:33
here all this can be seen if you watch
16:34
those those clips
16:37
someone has someone has taken the light
16:39
off so let's think of the light bulb I'm
16:42
just taking the dish strainer someone
16:44
has taken the two drawers The Cutting
16:46
Board
16:47
someone has bashed in the side over here
16:49
and got the phone that was right here on
16:51
the side
16:56
I mean this place is pretty wrecked to
16:57
be honest
17:08
isn't it a weird feeling to like be in
17:10
here absolutely crazy but I love it I
17:13
love this kind of stuff so it's this is
17:15
like a rare occasion something like this
17:17
is like accessible like this
17:19
there's no way this place will be here
17:21
in a year yeah yeah it just could be
17:23
something that could be burned down
17:24
immediately or torn down or developer
17:27
could buy it and just bulldoze the whole
17:29
thing it's really not safe
17:35
I bet you that uh paper towel holder was
17:35
that we looked too all right you know
17:37
I'm nerding out a little probably doing
17:39
a little too give a deep dive on this
17:40
but look at the paper towel holder right
17:43
there above the disc strainer and it
17:45
wasn't even in good shape then and this
17:47
is you know 18 years ago and that's
17:50
still there in the exact same spot at
17:51
the same angle right above where the
17:53
disc strainer was there it is there it
17:55
is right there
17:57
look at that dude there's a Mac Tonight
17:59
Cup right here look at this thing really
18:03
wow
18:10
nice it's in pretty bad shape but yeah
18:10
look at that super rush man Spalding has
18:13
some good taste
18:20
pookie
18:20
you ain't going nowhere
18:23
I think it's pretty good I can say that
18:26
word right it's not too bad yeah
18:34
this is all for posterity
18:34
the shoulder's right on the edge of it
18:36
yeah I think that's better right there
18:38
yeah
18:43
yep
18:48
I could spend all day in here I don't
18:48
know if we should just kind of keep
18:50
hanging out keep it to see what's see
18:51
what's going on what do you guys think
18:52
I'm ready to go
18:55
again there are some scenes that were
18:58
take place outside where he gets in the
18:59
truck and drives off and then the Mosley
19:03
spots where he took the band out back
19:04
we're gonna match some of those up as
19:06
well same location two really pivotal
19:09
moments in the movie
19:10
well actually more than two two took
19:13
place in this one and then a second
19:14
scene took place out back to really
19:16
three pivotal moments in the film took
19:18
place
19:20
foreign
19:32
kind of want to show some of the other
19:32
rooms that weren't shown on camera just
19:34
to show how annihilated this place is
19:42
here's the side room here
19:42
a little cupboard over there
19:57
this just blows my mind it's the same
19:57
mattress and everything so crazy the
19:59
clown poster
20:00
it's just unbelievable I remember seeing
20:03
Devil's Rejects in the movie theater
20:05
2005 I went on a date with a girl I had
20:08
never been out with before it's like
20:10
let's go see this movie
20:12
it was awkward it was an awkward
20:13
experience she was like red flag
20:22
kind of adds to the Ambiance with a crow
20:22
making some noise over there
20:30
oh wow
20:46
somebody lived here for real yeah
20:46
someone's house
20:48
probably someone's dream at one point
20:50
they bought a house they were happy they
20:52
had their family here they probably sat
20:54
here rotting away the location scout
20:55
found it so let's use it in a zombie
21:00
but I'm just showing this too because
21:01
this is when
21:02
Sid Hague runs out gets in his truck
21:05
yells at her and then drives off right
21:07
down this way yeah there it is you could
21:09
see it wasn't in the best shape then but
21:11
definitely way worse now
21:13
than it was then
21:16
doors are all kicked and uh windows are
21:17
busted out and when he drives out it's
21:20
the same gate same wooden pylons same
21:22
everything even that little gate over to
21:24
the side and the big gate it's all still
21:25
the same 18 years later just in much
21:28
worse shape as shown right there as he
21:30
drove off
21:44
now the characters that Rob uses and
21:44
the landscape that he uses really adds
21:46
to the Ambiance of his films for sure
21:48
he likes the desert a lot
21:55
it's kind of ironic that there's two
21:55
two shovels there because Otis was
21:56
taking the two band members what was the
21:59
band name banjo banjo and Sullivan
22:01
around to dig up some stuff that he had
22:03
dug out here
22:04
now a lot of this is blown down over the
22:06
years
22:07
we just watched the scene we
22:09
it's kind of creepy a little creepy to
22:11
watch it while you're at the spot
22:13
because it's a really intense scene in
22:15
fact they even use the Manson line I'm
22:17
the devil and here to do devil's work
22:19
Otis quotes that
22:26
there's a piano right here all right
22:26
organ
22:32
yeah a lot of this is falling down
22:32
this reminds me of like Texas Chainsaw
22:34
so much back here
22:36
Leatherface
22:37
Oh there's uh the Water Tower you see
22:39
that
22:41
I think you see that in some of the
22:42
scenes
22:44
it's tough to match a lot of this up
22:45
because so much has fallen down
22:52
there was a couple key moments though
22:52
there was a
22:53
a water tank similar to the one that's
22:55
there that's not the same one you can
22:57
see the other water tank look it's may
22:59
have been removed
23:00
at these old horse stable chicken coops
23:03
and then there was a tower where Otis
23:06
delivered the line and that just kind of
23:08
really horrifying scene
23:10
that could have been the tower over
23:12
there that fell
23:17
or it could have been a little farther
23:23
that I'm on the site really
23:23
they go way out here
23:26
a lot farther away from the house that I
23:28
was thinking
23:29
but if you watch those scenes you can
23:31
see
23:32
this metal fence here and you can see
23:34
that wooden building there
23:39
when he's like oh that's pretty much the
23:40
end
23:42
it's the end of the line something like
23:43
that ah the stress of the day is really
23:45
setting in on me
23:47
I know this has happened that that quote
23:50
at the big tower where the dramatic
23:52
scene with Otis and the two band guys
23:54
happen
23:55
there was like one kind of thing that
23:57
you can match up you could see the
23:58
mountains are off in the distance which
23:59
knows it was filmed this way and you can
24:02
see this
24:03
which is falling down
24:05
and then the tower was kind of like
24:07
right over there
24:08
more or less but it's really there's
24:10
nothing left of it
24:12
so it could have been a set piece or
24:13
could have just been
24:15
blown down over the last you know almost
24:17
two decades
24:19
the mountains Give It Away there is a
24:21
ladder in that scene that goes up the
24:22
side of that kind of little Tower thing
24:25
we thought maybe that was the ladder but
24:27
it doesn't look like the same kind of
24:29
same kind of structure but really the
24:31
biggest giveaway is the the metal
24:33
fencing there
24:35
and this wooden piece but
24:38
I don't think we're going to be able to
24:39
match too much up
24:40
I think just the vibe out here itself
24:42
kind of just speaks for itself
24:45
kind of waiting for like Otis to walk up
24:47
and take us out there
24:48
try to like unbury some of the stuff he
24:50
like buried years ago you know the
24:53
stress of the day is really starting to
24:54
get to them
24:55
you don't wanna you wanna Otis to be
24:57
stressed no you don't want to be
24:59
stressed at all
25:05
it's kind of unusual too we were out
25:05
here as we as we were walking out of the
25:07
house
25:08
a guy walked up it was out here and he
25:10
went that way
25:11
and just he kept walking into the desk
25:14
he's like way gone now someone's like
25:16
living out there in the desert or just
25:18
taking a stroll through the
25:20
The Plains of the desert
25:23
kind of weird
25:29
I've been able to drive through up here
25:29
yeah I think this was the Angus when
25:30
those scenes you could see when they're
25:31
walking out you can see the house in the
25:34
distance yeah
25:36
definitely you could tell zombie
25:38
definitely took a lot of inspiration
25:40
from Texas Chainsaw with the long shots
25:42
zoom in the like heat you know the
25:46
The Oasis style heat in the distance but
25:48
he's back here filming zoomed in way in
25:50
uh
25:56
I could just imagine him coming out here
25:56
seeing this and go this is perfect I can
25:58
use this for two spots
26:03
and I don't believe you ever see
26:03
Spalding's house and this is never
26:06
confirmed that it's the same same
26:08
location like they never they never
26:11
you just have to just assume it's a
26:12
different spot but really it's just
26:14
right here on the same property just
26:15
want to show all this because one day it
26:17
won't exist
26:19
or maybe it will maybe we'll come out
26:20
here five years from now nothing will
26:21
have changed but
26:29
thank you
26:29
there's a couple other spots that are
26:31
close by we're just gonna swing by while
26:32
we're out here too
26:54
we're now driving about 10 miles to
26:54
another spot to a place called Club Ed
26:56
which is basically a movie Ranch Hotel
26:59
it's a movie Hotel
27:05
I was trying to show the landscape and
27:05
now I'm just showing that empty wall
27:07
there we go more landscape
27:09
heading over to Club Ed
27:17
there's something about the desert that
27:17
has kind of an interesting
27:19
Ambiance to it all right this is kind of
27:23
cool we're driving over we 've been Veer
27:25
over real quick take a look at this
27:27
place you got the old signage
27:29
this place is called retro lock I
27:31
believe
27:32
we got a plain kind of
27:34
shoved in the side right here
27:39
retro lock gas and mini Mark bass back
27:42
when mid-grade was a buck 42.
27:45
on the side there
27:52
I feel like if you can just film a movie
27:52
out here and just you already have
27:54
everything at your disposal if you want
27:56
to make a desert film you just come out
27:58
here and kind of Rogue style it
28:05
desert's just so fascinating old Pepsi
28:06
logo there oh Petro lock not retro Rock
28:08
Petro
28:09
SO gas lock
28:11
gasoline
28:13
this is called winging a prayer
28:16
oh and there's a truck going by with
28:18
something in it I'm not sure what that
28:19
is going by
28:51
this old is really awesome look at
29:00
he's sat in that right now it'd be like
29:00
scaldingly hot
29:02
it is warm out here
29:05
I've been drinking some wine
29:08
oh look at these ants down here
29:11
just like oh wow there's like running
29:13
rampant with ants on the ground
29:16
I didn't even see those you think this
29:18
is a David Lee Roth original
29:21
Maybe
29:34
nice tie-in with Rejects
29:34
is this place here that says easy rest
29:36
in
29:37
so this is where the hotel scenes in the
29:39
film was
29:40
with Brian passane
29:42
and all that and we first get introduced
29:44
to the band
29:45
so right over here is where baby makes
29:47
the phone call
29:49
to
29:52
Spalding at his house the house we just
29:54
had we showed where the phone was kind
29:56
of kind of makes sense as a tie-in to be
29:57
here to show that she was on the phone
30:00
right here there was a sign
30:02
strategically placed here that she walks
30:05
in front of Bill mosa here in the car
30:06
that blocked the hotel
30:09
but in reality they were right next to
30:11
each other
30:12
but that sign was just blocking
30:16
and blocking that right there there's
30:17
that's where she was
30:23
kind of an interesting story out here
30:23
too little show as I get a little closer
30:25
to the club Ed
30:27
this kind of looks like the Water tag
30:29
big was saying this might be kind of
30:30
some to the water tank that was
30:32
somewhere but I don't think they would
30:33
have moved it out here
30:35
kind of looks like it though right
30:37
yeah it does Melissa's like it
30:40
how's it going
30:47
crazy all right she was really nice
30:47
there used to be another caretaker here
30:49
years ago a gentleman that uh he was he
30:52
was not as kind as she was but I asked
30:55
what happened to him and she said that
30:56
he passed recently
30:58
so now she's watching over the property
31:00
and said there's a
31:01
some reasons we can't go on the we can't
31:03
go on size we can't go past the road in
31:06
the dirt so we can stay in the dirt we
31:07
just can't go up on the the porch of us
31:09
because this is an active filming spot
31:11
and you have to get permits and things
31:13
like that so she was really nice
31:15
all right let's walk closer over there
31:17
so this is the motel where Brian passane
31:20
and the band that met their demise back
31:22
at the other spot were staying that's
31:24
the hotel room
31:25
uh that pretty dramatic stuff happened
31:29
on the other side as well also where
31:31
baby meets the band and all that
31:34
is kind of flirting with them flirting
31:36
with them to get them in the room and
31:37
then they kind of all ended but I have
31:40
an interesting story so 10 years ago I
31:42
was out here and some drunk drivers
31:44
almost hit me in fact I was standing
31:48
here and I moved over to the other side
31:49
of the road
31:51
and they swerved over this way almost
31:53
hit this swerved towards my van I had at
31:56
that time went past those red cones and
32:00
flipped like eight times off into the
32:02
desert and it kind of really messed me
32:04
up for a long time about that and I
32:07
remember called my mom that night so I
32:08
almost I almost got killed
32:10
because if I would not have moved from
32:12
this side of the road to that side of
32:14
the road they would have swerved and ran
32:16
right into me and the interesting thing
32:18
is it happened only a few feet from in
32:21
the movie when
32:23
the girl runs out of here and gets run
32:25
over by the 18 wheeler so that I could
32:28
have met my demise in the same spot
32:29
where the 18-wheeler plowed into
32:33
applied onto the girl it's just weird to
32:36
think about anyway no didn't want to go
32:38
down that weird rabbit hole but yeah
32:39
every time I come out here
32:41
kind of a weird
32:43
moment that this could have been could
32:45
have been my last moments here at the
32:47
Club Ed
32:55
back in the van dies
32:55
I thought I'm going to walk over here
32:56
see if there's any chunks of the
32:58
the car that towed the car away
32:59
afterwards and the three people that
33:01
were in there
33:02
they survived
33:05
yeah it was like a decade ago
33:11
again we're not allowed to go over there
33:11
for insurance reasons she was saying
33:15
but there is the side there there's the
33:17
ice machine
33:19
and the hotels on the side there not
33:22
sure what room it was but I think it was
33:24
like maybe the third or fourth
33:26
doored out
33:31
I hear a vehicle out here and I start to
33:33
cringe
33:43
yeah when that all happened I didn't
33:44
have cell phone service I just checked
33:46
it's been 10 years ago my cell phone
33:47
service has been improved
33:49
but I had no cell phone service so I had
33:51
to run under the property talked to the
33:53
guy I was talking about it used to be
33:54
the caretaker and have him call
33:57
for an ambulance to show up out here it
33:59
took like a half hour
34:00
but the cart flipped over somewhere in
34:02
here might have been like right over in
34:04
here somewhere
34:11
I don't remember where exactly but yeah
34:11
put a weird tie up
34:17
to be honest I don't remember exactly
34:17
where it was it could have been here it
34:18
could have been over there
34:20
they towed the car away I came out a few
34:22
years after that
34:24
and I didn't really find too many
34:25
roadmates I think there was like
34:27
part of a radiator and some stuff but
34:30
anyway yeah pretty pretty bizarre
34:58
and about five miles away from we just
34:58
were
34:59
other spot we want to show from House of
35:02
a thousand
35:03
that has a spalding tie-in
35:12
all right this place is pretty dang
35:12
awesome so from House of a thousand this
35:14
was Sid Hague small thinks little store
35:17
if you've been to hhm when they did the
35:19
house of a thousand
35:21
maze they kind of recreated that and the
35:24
last time I was here a few years ago
35:25
when I did the locations
35:27
they were filming a product a college
35:28
movie or something so what is able to
35:31
really get it in all its Glory but now
35:34
I can kind of see it a little bit better
35:35
and I'm not really sure if they are
35:36
filming out here but there's a couple
35:38
classic cars over here that's also a
35:41
motel
35:42
scene as well
35:45
so you got the little Motel the flag
35:48
the station wagon
35:55
mechanic on duty
35:55
Fried Chicken
35:57
Spaulding love fried chicken
36:18
all I picture is that guy coming out
36:18
with the sledgehammer
36:21
well it was inside with the sledgehammer
36:23
but they filmed the Interiors right in
36:33
the technical name is Four Aces gas food
36:33
logic there's a couple people in there
36:36
really sure what they're doing I talked
36:38
to the guys that are in there they are
36:39
scouting a location I'm going to start
36:40
they're going to be filming
36:42
so but right over here they had the big
36:44
skull
36:45
over the top of it so like
36:47
they have the I think it was like Museum
36:49
of
36:50
monsters and Mayhem I think is the name
36:52
of it the Spalding spot at the gas
36:54
station the part was right there but
36:57
this was like completely like covered
36:59
with like a big skull with like Neon
37:01
that was the dark ride and all that that
37:03
you went through
37:08
all right they said that we were not
37:08
allowed to cross this line
37:10
you know due to reason it's been rented
37:12
out by some other other folks however
37:15
the Interiors did were filmed inside
37:17
there which is pretty pretty dang
37:18
awesome to think about
37:20
it is really hot out here
37:22
we are definitely in the desert yes
37:23
we're getting sunburned we got only SPF
37:25
70 right now
37:27
Burns
37:29
completely this is definitely a pretty
37:32
awesome spot
37:38
just think of the I can't remember the
37:38
guy's name the sledgehammer guy that
37:39
comes in and get it this is a very
37:41
dramatic scene that took place over
37:42
there they filmed all the Interiors
37:44
right inside of there like there's a lot
37:46
of things where they're running in and
37:47
out of there
37:48
and for the folks watching this if you
37:51
wonder because when I watch videos like
37:53
this I wonder in proximity to the city
37:56
where you're at drive an hour into the
37:59
desert into nothing into the abyss of
38:02
the desert and you'll just pop up on a
38:05
movie site yeah about five miles from
38:07
Club Ed and probably I don't know maybe
38:10
20 minutes from
38:12
Captain spaulding's house yeah all
38:15
separated by nothing but just desertous
38:17
landscape
38:19
one day I'm gonna get in there one day
38:21
my second time out here
38:23
both have been a fail but I think we've
38:25
had a pretty successful day absolutely
38:27
very much
