Evil Dead 2 Filming Location - North Carolina Roadside Attractions & Abandoned Places Tour

[@TheDailyWoo]

Love Evil Dead 2 . Always wanted to find the spot from the cabin in the woods but thankfully someone salvaged it . Fact that you can walk right in the warehouse is epic !

[@Phillyguy316]

Love to check this out myself, Been to the site of the cabin in Tennessee where the original film was shot years ago.

[@TampaJay]

Its such a classic I was shocked to see the door wide open . thanks buddy.

[@markwilliams4525]

I've been watching your videos for years! I can watch yours and tjs videos for hours on end.

[@marielucas2506]

Hi woo! Hi Jay! Love u guys! My whole fam binge watches yr videos. When I'm down, depressed, or when life sucks (or just whenever😂)i find great joy in yr videos and in yr lives through video!know that u r a big deal to alot of us out here and inspiring! U guys make a great team too btw. Loved the latest at the trop and publix field(take me out to the ball game, take me out to the crowd) lol much love from oldsmar, florida

[@CristheGirl]

Awesome vid of your adventure! I have to admit, my fav part was the Whataburger drive in lol. Mostly just because your hat was off ;)

[@conniecrawford5231]

Salisbury NC - where Cheerwine was invented! Pepsi was invented in New Bern NC! You had a Cheerwine in its birthplace town! Glad you shtopped to “visit” Dale !

[@sonicdishes]

Great video! I live here in NC and saw things I didn’t know about. Moved to the Tampa Bay Area for just at a year and it left a mark on my heart forever. Love the videos!!!

[@vwsandvettes3253]

So cool!!! You visited right up the road from me!!! I was over about 3 weeks ago at the small store you showcased in Salisbury, and in Kannapolis right by the Dale Earnhardt statue is the jogging route for my Monday night run club. Right over on that side street behind the Intimidator statue you may have seen Old Armour Brewery. That is where the run club meets up at at 6:15 each Monday evening. Take care Tampa Jay and it was neat to have you over in my back yard lol.

[@crush41gb]

Welcome back to NC! Can't wait to watch this, brother!🤘😊 Were you in Salisbury in Rowan County? If so, it sounds like Saulsbury. Like Concord here I'd different than Concord, Maine lol. You were SO close to me.. man alive I wish I'd known! Oddly enough, a friend I went to school with was featured on an episode of Snapped and they used Salisbury as Enochville.. where we grew up. Man, you were right in my town!? Wonder if you'll go to the GEM theater.. still watching so not sure yet lol. Midway what a burger! :D and Mooresville wrapper! We live there and #11 is best! ;) The Days of Thunder barn is still here!

[@paultheretrogamer]

Yay I've got to your video after a long play list . This is awesome 🤟

[@NocturnalSilence45]

I'm a big fan of the EVIL Dead series. That location was cool to see.

[@dmax64]

Evil Dead 2 scared the hell out of me as much as Evil Dead did. Tfs the filming locations and a great vid as always 😊👍

[@stephaniemetts4788]

Good afternoon Jay absolutely love your videos please pray for my nephew some of his friends got killed in Kabul

[@f150ninthgen]

Hey Tampa Jay, new subscriber here! Great videos man! The milk carton you were at is just about 2 miles from my house. Mooresville is the home to the barn used in Days of Thunder. It is still standing but the area around it has been developed with commercial and residential development over the past couple of decades. Cool to see you in my neck of the woods and stay safe.

[@TampaJay]

That’s pretty awesome man I spent a lot of time in Mooresville this weekend

[@TampaJay]

Thanks for tagging a long with me

[@ashwilliams8876]

Fun Fact: An associate of mine a few years ago carefully acquired and moved the remnant structure of the Evil Dead II cabin with a crew to his property ranch in Kansas. From there they rebuilt the cabin using the original parts along with some newer parts. It's fully decorated very close to how it looked in 1986. If you contact him in advance you can tour the cabin. 😁

[@eddyblackburn8092]

I loved this one Jay, Eddy again from Myrtle Beach SC. I been thru Wadesboro hundreds of times on hwy 74 in route to Charlotte. I never knew this was filmed there until you did the Vlog. Thanks brother. Keep em coming. I have seen most all your videos but somehow missed this one but caught it today. Take care.

[@edutwork4766]

Love the filming location videos!

[@vladimirbrest]

Я тоже

[@grz82]

I’ve been watching your film location videos and I’m a huge fan of horror and I live in NC so this caught my attention. I live in Kannapolis about 5 blocks from the Earnhardt statue and grew up about an hour from Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco. Love the content!

[@DisAmy33]

I’m from Greensboro, NC (but now also in Tampa) - so this was great! 👏 Kudos on partaking in the Cheerwine! Next time you gotta try Cook-Out, Biscuitville, BoJangles..and find a Sir Pizza! But sadly I’ve never seen The Evil Dead or been to What-A-Burger - need to change that! 😱😆👏 But I tried out to be an extra for Children of Corn 2 - Which was filmed in & around Liberty, NC, but sadly I didn’t make the cut! 🌽👨‍👧‍👦🌽

[@markwilliams4525]

Biscuitville? That sounds pretty good considering I love Biscuits! Whataburger is ok.

[@DisAmy33]

@@markwilliams4525 Biscuitville is pretty amazing, only open till 2 PM, only serves breakfast! Good stuff - Only in NC & VA! Biscuits are perfect southern style - not greasy at all (can’t say that about the other stuff they serve, like bacon, sausage, home fries, etc…but ya know 🤷🏼‍♀️)

[@markwilliams4525]

@@DisAmy33 well I'm definitely going to try it out, you talked me right into it! If you're down in tampa, go up to tavares fl and go to the twisted biscuit, it's ran by a father daughter team and it's very good! One more place is ducks dam diner in ocklawaha fl by ocala, you may like that too! Thanks for the biscuitville tip.

[@DisAmy33]

@@markwilliams4525 I have heard of the twisted biscuit, good to know! Now keep in mind Biscuitville is fast food, they have drive-thrus and eat in, but it is still good for what it is! 😆

[@markwilliams4525]

@@DisAmy33 oh I'm definitely taking that into consideration, if it's not good when I go there I won't hold it against you 😉. It's like any restaurant sometimes sometimes bad so I definitely won't knock it if it's not good the first time I'll always try it again. I don't know how long you've been in Florida but there's plenty of old roadside attractions down close to where you are.

[@matthewdavenport2490]

Great video as always. I live in NC now, but I graduated high school down in the Tampa area--Bloomingdale HS in Valrico--and my college roommate from from Anson County. Never knew Evil Dead 2 was filmed there. Small world.

[@vincentappleby9521]

Love the movie. Great filming locations video Jay. 🙂👍

[@abbykilroy9065]

Great video! I'm a Nascar fan and loved seeing the Dale Sr. monument. Also loved all the old buildings!

[@TampaJay]

Thank you

[@bernardofitzpatrick5403]

Abandoned and roadside attractions always great! Wow …graves from 1700 and that foot grave. Saburu looks awesome. 😁 thanks TJ

[@Phillyguy316]

Great video as always Jay! Glad to see you back in the Tarheel state. Hope you get a chance to get up to Virginia, lots to see here too.

[@relicman]

Speaking of Water Towers, I recently posted a Water Tower Compilation video on KZbin. I worked pretty hard on it and of course took photos of every water tower I came across. I'm also Fascinated how people back in 1900 had the technology to know about a Solar Eclipse.

[@NoBSEateries]

The run down abandoned buildings always so neat to see. -S

[@seanhunter4297]

Tampa Jay You're totally awesome! I feel like you're my friend. Let's hang out when I come to visit mom and dad in Hudson, Florida. Please rerun this video closer to Halloween, my dude 🌞

[@MikeRuh01]

Hey TJ, Thanks for another great one

[@nicholasmardis9846]

Must have been fun to find the filming locations for the Evil Dead 2 Tampa Jay,an I love watching your filming location videos they are fun to watch ,to see where a movie was actually filmed.Keep the filming location videos coming an ill keep watching.

[@mikethirsty1071]

Awesome video. Do you realize you ate at the real What-A-Burger? It's different from the Texas franchise. That's Whatabuger. When my parents divorced my dad would take me every other weekend to get shakes and fries. Good memories.

[@Lackaustausch]

Thanks for visiting Kannapolis 👍🏎💨🏁

[@bjornemccomb8262]

Love North Carolina 💖 went there 2 years ago and want to go back

[@jeffkuenzli3574]

[@tiffanytreadaway4534]

I am a huge fan of the Evil Dead movies.

[@RailfanNetwork]

I've been there! I just didn't know the movie locations were there! Have a GREAT week Tampa Jay!!

[@OffRampAdventures]

Get the heebeegeebees just thinking about that movie! Wondered where the first Whataburger was...sure evolved!

[@Living_EDventures]

Great old movie! Thanks for sharing! I really needed stuff to watch after having 3 surgeries on my right leg this last Tuesday and Wednesday. Still recovering as of now.

[@TampaJay]

Oh dang buddy I’m sorry to hear that, hang in there and get well soon :)

[@Living_EDventures]

Thanks brother!

[@heffphilat]

The rest of James A.Reid was buried many years later in Trading Ford Baptist Church Cemetery, Salisbury, NC. (According to Find A Grave) his marker indicates he passed away in 1920, at age 76.

[@TampaJay]

Thanks Phil. I figured he was around there somewhere, I’ll have to visit next time I’m in the area.

[@heffphilat]

@@TampaJay You're welcome!

[@sammyb7243]

awesome video jay

[@TampaJay]

Thank you Sammy

[@KrisK]

Evil Dead was a good movie. I grew up watching Daniel Boone many years ago. Loved that show. Enjoyed the video 👍

[@pirategirl58]

Hey Jay! I got dibs on that old rocker!

[@GeorgedownunderAustralia]

Great stuff Tampa jay evil dead 1 was my favorite but seeing the location for the 2nd was brilliant bro and seeing parts of other states was good Loving your video and you speak well too Peace out George from Australia 🇦🇺👌

[@FLHouseAccount]

Glad you drank a Cheerwine. Sailsbury (pronounced like the Steak) hate that you were so close by(Currently I live in Mooresville). My dad lives near Bill's, when the pandemic is behind us You'll have to come back to Salisbury for their Cheerwine fest in May. Krispy Kreme did a Cheerwine cream filled doughnut a few years back.

[@Emulous79]

Damn. That gym looks like the inside of Ash's head, no doubt.

[@1SeanBond]

I sure appreciate you doing this Epic Movie Tampa Jay! Once again out of the park,Ohhh & so well done Thank's for all you do Cheers my friend, Luv&Peace to you and your family!🙂✌

[@TampaJay]

Thanks Sean

[@thomasfoley8287]

Well, that was fun. Looks like you had great time in Carolina. Thanks for sharing!

[@TampaJay]

Thank you Thomas

[@MoviemaniaNick]

Great filming locations for this film! Good job Jay!

[@beewalsh4133]

I love these roadside attraction videos! 👌 Awesome

[@relicman]

Hey we have an Abandoned Daniel Boone Village where I live. I've done a lot of filming on it. Let me know if you ever come this way! That is probably what you were talking about when you said there's another one. Yeah, hurry up, because they were scheduled to tear this place down a few yrs ago. It was a Tweetsy railroad type of Park back in the 60's and 70's.

[@marissaclaire1991]

I was so confused about What-A-Burger and those crinkle fries you showed 😂 I never realized that there was another chain with a similar name to Whataburger. I was like, “What are those hyphens? Where are the orange stripes?” lol

[@living4usgnv]

I grew up in Charlotte and worked in some of the surrounding cities and loved What-A-Burger there. I had not heard of the Texas chain Whataburger until I moved to Florida and we had/have some here.

[@cynthiadameron1399]

Looks like that’s where you go to open the Amazon boxes you stole

[@william.weir2023]

hey jay that burger looked yummy... what is cheerwine taste like? dont have it over here. another great video as always.

[@TampaJay]

Thanks William. It’s like a cherry soda taste. It’s good stuff

[@living4usgnv]

Salisbury= Sahls-bury or Sauls-bury. The "i' is silent. I'm originally from Charlotte, and the "i" was never pronounced. I was actually supposed to go to Livingstone College there, but the cards fell another direction. Hopefully, you'll be able to go Carowinds sometime. You could go there and ride Intimidator, a hypercoaster themed to Dale and NASCAR in general. There's some other great coasters there too. It's cool you went to What-A-Burger. However, the one you went to is not affiliated with the Texas chain Whataburger. This one is part of a local chain. I used to go to the one in Mooresville all the time when I worked in that town.

[@MichellesCraftsandMore]

You are not far from me then! I am in Morganton!

[@N4TXTV]

I would have looked for stuff left by either the cast or production team myself in that gym with a mask on lol

[@garfixit]

Dude love evil dead. Great video

[@shannonjefferson874]

Yes bro I love the vids man keep them coming

[@TampaJay]

Thank you

[@marypettyfer4640]

Thank you Tampa 👍👌♥️❤🙏

[@rcvitals]

Your in my neck of the woods. Welcome to North Carolina.

[@planetmirror2090]

i have a newer Legacy just like that, i love it! all wheel drive so nice n smooth. Love the filming location and roadside attraction combo in one video. tenacious D drive-thru reference there ?:)

[@CAROLINATONY]

Cheerwine was invented in Salisbury in 1917. I did a video about a few years back.

[@GoldmineVideoLoot]

That place would make a great budget air bnb!

[@Michaeluk62]

I have seen a few vids about the old gym house. Each time there's more crap fly tipped. The building is a part of film history and would be nice if it could be restored instead of the local recycling centre.

[@jerrymybisnar8763]

New subscribers from Philippines ❤❤❤❤ next night of the living dead location 😊😊😊

[@انمي24]

I am a writer of horror novels, and I have a very piercing idea for the evil dead movie. I hope that this information will reach the producers, because the story in my hands will change the course of horror films for years.

[@dennisud]

Now you got me hungry! Where is the nearest What-a-Burger to Central Florida???

[@TampaJay]

Jacksonville :) thanks Doug

[@NocturnalSilence45]

I feel like I'm watching a Adam the woo vlog video. You sound and act alot like he does in his videos. Right down to the sunglasses and hand gestures while you're talking about things. The Carpetbagger is like that too I noticed.

[@theshape3988]

Your voice is identical to Adam the woo

[@Preeofdarkness_]

Omg! I’m so jealous !!

[@ashwilliams8876]

What about Evil Dead (1981) and Army of Darkness (1992)? Are you gonna do those filming locations?

[@gabrielparadis5895]

I love this movie

[@amberstegall8020]

I live in anson county love the video

[@pirategirl58]

It looks like James Reid had "one foot in the grave!" Lol! Forgive me!

[@mikemay3678]

DEI garage and Museum qas not far from that statue, great place to visit

[@jillyjill2060]

I’m in nc I love evil dead 💀

[@MikeRuh01]

Interesting how torn up that Gym is.

[@1967mcm]

Bruce Campbell is the man!

[@JohnKelly2]

Pretty sure that Whataburger isn't related to the chain from Texas.

[@stardust1241]

Tfs....♥️💯👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙂

[@matthewdavenport2490]

And Salisbury is the birthplace of Cheerwine, and is pronounced "SAWLS-burry" here.

[@minutemark]

I guess you could say that James A. Reid had "one foot in the grave" for a long time.

[@seanhunter4297]

You are an epic man. Haha

[@xolauraxo]

I say the exact same thing when I am leaving a cemetery or graveyard.

[@birdnest5814]

Full play😊

[@MrBeatenpath]

is evil dead 2 a sequel or a remake?.....thanks for the video

[@chucky6299]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@CAROLINATONY]

20 minutes from my house

[@markwilliams4525]

Where's the rest of james Reid?

[@christopherstroud190]

Fun fact the what a burgers in NC are not the same as in Texas they are two different companies.

[@RustyShackleford237]

I'm a bit sad to see the shape of the building where Evil Dead 2 was filmed. Rather a bummer.
