Halloween (1978) Filming Locations with P.J. Soles - Horror's Hallowed Grounds - Then and Now

[@Michael-bl4no]

P.J. Soles seems like a very down to earth, happy person. Very genuine.

[@j.d.contreras392]

She was TOTALLY amazing.

[@AdamtheGrey02]

Yes, she said "totally" at the end there. Was afraid I wouldn't hear it lol. Thanks for this. It was awesome. P.J. Soles is terrific.

[@MrMarkus49]

PJ still looks great after all these years :)

[@jakerealm4079]

I always had and still have a MAD CRUSH ON P.J. SOLES! And to hear her say she never was a smoker. Is a plus for me. I'm against smoking. Such a disgusting habit. To each their own. Another Great Horror's Hallowed Grounds Episode!

[@princeofcupspoc9073]

Weird because there's a lot of smoking on a Carpenter set. Not tobacco.

I met P.J. a couple of years ago at a convention in N.J. Very sweet, down to earth. :)

The way PJ says beer at the end is totally cool just like the movie. I met her at a signing and she was great. Took pic with her & my teenage son. This was great. Thanks

[@jamessiddle7389]

Hi Sean, love the channel from the UK, rewatched Halloween 1978 last night, an October tradition for many year's, it's still the best in the franchise, a classic. On watching Halloween Ends again, pleased they took a different route, too much of the same gets predictable, if and when you speak to Jamie Lee next please say James says thank you

Just a great job keep up the hard work I have been a fan of yours for many years......

Stoked your HHG videos are on KZbin now, Sean. My wife and I hunted down the Halloween locations in LA in 2007, using your video as reference.

[@buzzcrushtrendkill]

I thought I had seen all the "making of", "history of", "locations of" Halloween. But yours is the best and most informative. You actually got into the Myers house. And your footage of from '94 and now is great. Getting access to the people is great. I'd love to know why in H2 '81 did they go through the trouble of reshooting Michael off the balcony, and changing the location of the balcony but used original footage up to that point.

10:39 // the home owner's 'tone of voice' in how he started to tell the story of ...'how he first found out'. His Voice's IN Tone, sounds like how robert shaw describes the '..a young fellow no older than mr hooper here, well .. that was the time i was most scared'. lolol Listening to his answer, after hearing the lead In and watching the prep scene with MM behind the hedge. lololl another great upload

[@YesIwrotethat]

Very cool video. Live in Arizona and always wanted to check out the filming locations. Was trying to figure why the Myers house was next to the hardware store and now I know. 👍

I remember watching this on the “25 Years Of Terror” DVD I wasn’t too big on the main feature itself but I’d watch this over and over. Lol Cool to see you have a KZbin channel man. You got a subscriber here! Keep grinding…

[@gerardhennessy3586]

I have just had the most enormous pleasure of visiting several of the original Halloween (1978) locations in South Pasadena, California. And in the process finally meeting an objective I first set myself over 25 years ago. Some people advise against visiting iconic movie locations, in case it somehow destroys the magic of the movie itself. Well, it certainly has done nothing of the kind in my case. In fact it has ENHANCED the entire Halloween experience for me. And you will not be surprised to learn that, having returned to London, I have re-viewed the film several more times, each time feeling ever more immersed in it. And what are my most abiding memories of my visit? Firstly how close together most of the main locations are. Secondly, how buildings and houses supposedly side-by-side are often entire streets apart. Thirdly, that the Myers House, though still entirely intact and refurbished, has bee relocated, and is now around 100 yards distant from its original position and is on the opposite side of the road. And my greatest disappointment? Well there wasn't one. It was all TOTALLY wonderful. However, mentioning TOTALLY, I had nurtured a faint hope that, just maybe, the wonderful PJ Soles (Lynda Van Der Klok) might come walking by, like she first did in the spring on 1978. Sadly it was not to be. But who knows? Maybe one day!

[@jimk5447]

That's cool the guy was just walking by and yelled out for the demolishers to stop right before they bulldozed it down and bought it with any place to put it. Before people buy famous houses like the Halloween, the Goonies houses etc. They should know fans are going to come visit it all the time. It's cool though they guy hedge trimmer guy said it ok for the fans to take pictures and pieces of it with them.

[@fuentes323]

I have the same birthday as P.J. soles really cool 😎

[@johnbeechy]

10:59/ hedge trims could be Grown/would be Grown and could be sold over and over again with each yr... and Fans would know when they could buy the annual Hedge's offering(s). hmmmm nice opportunity.. most folks can make coins off their city lawn...

[@johnbeechy]

in theory, normally a subcontractor would offer to TRIM such hedges for FREE and at no cost to the owner of the land/hedge concerns removed / then the subcontractors sell the TRIMMINGs at mkts or online or to any Fan. normally but locals dont always have subs ready for duty

[@lexijones8019]

Absolutely love your channel but what I love more is your 90’s early 2000’s look- the hair the dress everything. Reminds me of Fastball, Smashmouth, Lit…. Love it.

[@malfuncsean]

Well this particular video was shot in 2005 but to be fair what little style I have hasn’t changed much. Either way thank you! Fun fact I almost played drums for LIT.

[@thegiftedone]

Excellent

[@Crash517]

When Bob and Lynda pull up in front of the house where Annie was babysitting Lindsey and Lynda is telling Bob about Annie distracting Lindsey so they can sneak upstairs to the bedroom and Bob says "First I rip your clothes off, then you rip my clothes off then we rip Lindsey's clothes off" creeps me out. Bob is a creep talking about them ripping off little Lindsey's clothes

[@s.j.johnson1961]

Agree, ew. But in those days that comment, although in poor taste, would not have been taken as seriously. Plus Bob did not look like a teenager at all. He looked like a 30-year-old computer programmer or something.

[@mousetreehouse6833]

The character Bob was just a drunk teenager who made a goofy comment that got laughter from theater audiencesin 1978. There is nothing creepy about Bobs actions. I wish people would stop looking for trouble where there is none.

[@Crash517]

[@drefrazier4266]

There were also some pick up shots two streets over on Genesse Ave, like 6 houses down from the Elm Street house right on the corner at 1380 Genesse Ave. One is Laurie's POV, her second glance in the other direction when she's sitting on the pedestal in Pasadena. The other is that night time shot of Loomis finding the station wagon.

@@drefrazier4266 Yes I’ve found all of those long ago. This episode was filmed in 2005.

@@malfuncsean right on

[@johnpatterson4272]

I watched the original 'Halloween' movie at a local Drive-in back in late 1978, with friends in a large 'land-yacht' Dodge Monaco station wagon. I was more interested in the 'over-buttered' popcorn bucket and the girl with 'high-beam headlights' working at the concession stand. Only recently have I come to know the original Halloween movie was filmed in California, believing it was really Illinois. PJ Soles was a smokin' hot chick in the early 80s. Someone I and my homies wanted to gettogether with (if you know what I mean). This woman is legendary in modern pop-culture, think 'Rock and Roll High School' and 'Stripes'. A stroll with PJ Soles is the end to great day in the 21st century.

[@intertubicular]

PJ is still hot. By the way, I never knew the original Micheal Myers was Erin Moran from Happy Days brother?

[@malfuncsean]

Well sort of. He was just in the scene when the mask was pulled off. So yes he was Michael Myers for about 6 seconds. Nick Castle played the part 95% of the time in the original Halloween.

[@intertubicular]

@@malfuncseanInteresting that casting for the movie picked him Solely for that scene. He is kind of strange looking come to think of it.

My first HHG! Been a huge fan ever since. Who's idea was it to run over Andrew at the end of the new intro?

[@malfuncsean]

I don't remember to be honest but I hope we have the outakes somewhere because it was HILARIOUS!!! Andrew had to walk in slow motion across the street while we approached him with the camera mounted on the front of the car. Buz and I were dying the whole time watching from a distance pretending to be walking in slow motion and people in the neighborhood watching him do it. We had to do it several times too!
