Something About Nothing..........# 9

... continuing on the tour

... the old west (these are actually some of the oldest sets still standing at Universal)

... this area is supposed to represent "Europe"

... now, can anyone can tell me what scene from a very famous recent movie was shot at this location?? ... hint ... it's a Disney movie ...

... the Jaws part of the tour (basically as the tram drives by the shark comes up out of the water - Orlando's is MUCH better)

... this one you can see the tram path around the water

... the set of Desperate Housewives

... and now, the most exciting part of our tour (at least for us)

... and yes Norman came out as we were getting our picture taken

... to be con't

After our tour, we were treated to lunch as part of our VIP package ... it was a good buffet lunch with tons of hot and cold items ...

After lunch, we met up with a couple friends of ours and did a few attractions on our own and then headed over to the House of Horrors

... now for those that have been to HHN, I can tell you the House of Horrors is very tame scareactor wise (I saw 2 scareactors), plus you can walk through at your own pace - I even stopped to take a few pictures inside

... in the lobby of the House of Horrors

... this was somewhere in the middle of the house

... what's really cool is they have all the classic monsters walking around the park

... and of course they had the Hop characters out and about

On our way out ...

On our way to dinner, our friend (who used to live there and worked for Don Post studios), took us by these two famous houses (which have changed a bit).

Can anyone name the movie these houses are from (and whose houses they were in the movie)??

You both got it!

... apparently there is something in place that all the movie studios have to rent out their lots to the other studios so as not to have a monopoly over the sets

We also got to see other cool things like the foley studio and the studios where they do the final sound mixing for the pictures, etc, but we weren't allowed to take pictures inside

We also were able to walk through the soundstage house of a TV series they are filming called "Parenthood" starting Bonnie Bedelia and Craig T. Nelson

Awsome pics bonny

 

[donaldduck352]

I think I got it Bonny.The 1'st house is Freddy's and the second is where he killed Johnny Depp in the movie Nightmare on Elm.Freddy is Robert Englund and Depp name in the movie is Glen Lantz.

 

[Mad Hattered]

I don't think it's NOES, DD. I've seen pics of those, and unless they've gone major renovation, I think it's something else. I think we might need a little hint on this one.

 

[camsmomE]

ok, DH says NOES one... where Freddy sucks the mom through the window.

You win again!!!

 

[Cdn Friends of Pooh]

unless they've gone major renovation

I thought that too ... they're not exactly as I remember them from the movie

 

[Mad Hattered]

You win again!!!

Technically, I won the first one.

 

[minniejack]

I'm just in the process of uploading ...


It's the Psycho house at Universal Hollywood ... the house used in the 1960 movie

Duhhh...Now I see it.

But I did guess Pirates..ding, ding, ding--I got one

The houses look like before/after pics on HGTV

Your war pics look like the scenes from Scary Movie:
Brenda Meeks: Here's Detroit.
[Points to a TV showing a destroyed city]
Brenda Meeks: Here's Detroit after the invasion.
[City is still destroyed, but now tripods are roaming around]

 

[Mad Hattered]

Are we talking about these houses???

 

[Cdn Friends of Pooh]

Are we talking about these houses???

Yes that's them!!! and just how I remembered them ... Lee's buddy who used to live in LA took us by the houses ... I honestly didn't know whose houses they were - they kept saying Freddy's house, and I kept asking "Freddy who"

 

[keishashadow]

Don't be messin' with the vacay money!

I secretly stash money for months, and DH is like "where that come from?" I am a better saver than he

i've got a few slush funds too

MH - can u imagine living in those houses, wonder if they have never ending stream of fervent fans poking about?

bonny - when i see ur pics, im so impressed with the quality! Having norman in the mix is the cherry on the cake! i remember most of things the pics except "europe" and "POC"...how did i miss that. We went right after the last fire so didn't go down in area where king kong was, whole thing closed off as it was still smoldering. So what's down in that area?

hump de hump & hockey playoffsi've got my chicken wings ready to fry...good luck to all

PS was considering changing July trip & adding one night @ PBH but had sticker shock to see room @ $387, even with plat percs that's a lotta cash, more than we've ever paid same time frame. It is rack, couldn't find AAA or APH rates, any bets on whether it might nudge down between now & then?
