Fans Went On a Road Trip to Horror Movie Filming Locations and Made This Video

Published

In October 2016, two friends from Quebec City made a road trip in North America to see the locations of their favorite horror films. The following winter, this video was found on YouTube.

One of the coolest things you can do as a horror fan is visit some of the filming locations seen in the movies you love. Traveling to those locations makes you feel like you’re inside of those fictional worlds; to this day, a trip several years ago to the real-life sets of 1988’s Lady in White is one of my favorite memories. I’ve always wanted to go on a cross-country road trip and visit other locations from films like Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street along the way, but alas, such adventures require time and money that are both pretty hard to come by.

So let’s live vicariously through two fans who actually did it!

The Road Trip Project is a 5-minute video documenting the coolest road trip ever: the hardcore horror fans traveled to the filming locations of 15 different horror movies, and they took images of those locations as they appear today. Locales from films such as Jaws, The Blair Witch Project, The Exorcist, Dawn of the Dead, and It Follows were part of the trip, and though it would of course be way cooler to see them all for yourself, we think you’ll dig this virtual road trip adventure.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
