Let's Scare Jessica To Death (1971) FILMING LOCATIONS!

[@JMExplorations]

They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What may seem an eyesore to one person, just might be a beautiful masterpiece to another. There are places beloved by communities and protected in the hearts of those that hold their memories of its tattered hallways and decayed rooms dear. This is the way that we feel when we explore places that have been forgotten by time. Left to rot and decay and only holding the silent whispers of what once was. We know that there are people out there with malicious intent toward these places that we venture into. It saddens us when we see the filth and destruction they leave behind, but we want to make something very clear… We are explorers and lovers of history. We in no way, shape or form condone the criminal activities that take place in the historical decaying places that we document. Social media has brought many of these places to the limelight, but the intention is to show the beauty and mystery of abandonment. Not to invite trouble. Trouble will find its way on its own and to say that the peaceful documentation of these places leads to criminal activity, is mind blowing. We have met so many amazing fellow explorers in our travels and are so thankful and humbled by the positive responses we have received. We know that this type of exploration is not for everyone…many people don’t understand why we find such beauty in decay, we can only explain it as a beautiful journey into the past. We invite you to watch our explores and come along as we visit these amazing places. As for the criminal activity that occurs, those individuals are responsible for their own actions. It is a terrible part of our society, but reality, nonetheless. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for loving this location just as much as we do. We hope that through this video, the memories held within will remain.

Scream magazine recommended this classic and I watched it. Holy Moly what a great movie. Thanks for taking us to the locations.

[@JMExplorations]

You’re welcome! Thank you for watching!!

[@jonathanmitchell9886]

This is great! Thank you. "The old Bishop place" is still very imposing despite its ruined state.

[@JMExplorations]

It's still beautiful even in it's decaying state!

[@DonatoDamiano-r2g]

It must have been breathtakingly beautiful when first built! I can imagine lilacs blooming on the property in the spring, w/fragrant honeysuckle as well. I'd give anything to see this lovely home on the day the first tenants moved in . Love these enchanting homes in the east. God protect them from falling into the wrong hands!

[@brendaalicia8698]

Thanks for put parts of the movie to compare, good video!!

[@JMExplorations]

Thank you very much for watching and commenting!!! It was fun to find the locations!!!

[@lamars2486]

I saw this when it came out. It affected me when I go to grave yards, AND I have not gotten into ANY boat in a lake since. TO THIS DAY, it still creeps up my neck. Went to New england for 7 weeks in the early 1980s, and I couldn't shake it. Don't know what it is about this movie. I wanted to go where it was filmed and couldn't find out much. And yes, I had several friends that had herests. TY for this video. Don't know why folks didn't give this movie more showtime.

[@JMExplorations]

Thank you for watching and commenting!! It was definitely a creepy movie for sure.

Thank you so much for watching! We have a few Filming Location videos including the Blair Witch Project, The Fugitive, Dead Souls and The Shawshank Redemption. If you are a fan of any of those movies, you might enjoy checking those out☺️. We are headed to Albuquerque this fall to do locations for Breaking Bad. We really enjoy lining up iconic scenery with their modern day counterparts! Have a great weekend!!

Thank you guys!! You HAVE to get down there and see this gem!! She is beautiful up close and personal!!!!

[@cultofj3777]

Thank you so much for this! This is one of my favorite films and I've always wanted to visit this area but it's too far away, and frankly I didn't expect the locations to look the same. I can't believe you found the gravestones! Amazing.

[@StantonsJourneys]

Another one I need to see, those houses were amazing, too bad they couldn't preserve the house with the tower. Simply amazing, thanks for taking around the movie locations Marcel.

[@JMExplorations]

Thank you Chris!!! That old house is amazing in person and it looks like someone preserves the tower because it looks all painted!!

[@steverherb]

Wow, that house is iconic in its creepiness. I'm sure it must have stories to tell. I agree it would be nice if someone could restore it. Excellent aerial footage !

[@212bvs]

love this area. Did you notice that the front of the cemetery in East Haddam has a picket fence in the movie but there is actually a stone wall surrounding it. the monuments on the right side of the real cemetery do look the same as the movie..

[@JMExplorations]

Yes I did notice that!! That cemetery was awesome!!!!

[@annettegordon6499]

That beach is where we used to swim as kids, there and Chatfield Hollow where you went before. Loved this video! I love that you showed the house where they filmed the interior shots. I’ve never been able to pinpoint it! ❤️❤️

[@JMExplorations]

Thank you Annette! it was cool visiting the locations! I always knew about the old Bishop House in Old Saybrook but never knew where the other locations were.!

[@annettegordon6499]

Well you did a great job finding them all!

[@jimmyneck2854]

Awesome job! I was at that house before any of the urban explorers founded about 15 years ago for you could get arrested for being there! Nobody seems to know where the antique dealer shop was, saw this movie on TV about 50 years ago very creepy thanks for doing the shoot! Big fan of you guys you do great explorers

This is such a great video! My grandfather lives right across from Jenning’s Pond and spent much of my childhood there. It’s cool seeing what this place looked like in the 70s!

Very well done. Best probe on the cult film’s locations ever. Appreciated how you creatively Interspersed the film clips correlating with modern day locales. You kept it intriguingly eerie with great aerial footage of the property. Due to a thorough research you may have ignited an interest in others to check out this low key horror classic. Thank you enjoyed this quite a bit at 4 in the morning.

Thank you very much Kathleen for your kind words! We really enjoy doing movie filming location videos even though it is a LOT of work finding the locations and trying to match them up.

@@JMExplorations you’re welcome :) yeah I’m gonna have to watch the movie

[@capsizebrian]

OMG you did a fantastic Job. Great time of year to choose too so that most trees were free of leaves and would not block views. Thanks for your detailed efforts. I can't believe the Old Bishop house has just been allowed to languish and decay. I always wanted to go but I have a feeling it will be match sticks by then. Interesting also that when you moved on to show the place that was used for interiors, you went through a gate that had a Witch silhouette on it. Wonder why that was? The icing on the cake was the drone footage. If they ever do an official release of the score, you should post it with that footage.

[@JMExplorations]

Thank you so much for watching and for your thoughtful comment! I really enjoyed visiting the locations for this iconic movie. The Bishop House has always intrigued me and is quite beautiful up close....even in it's decaying form! The house they used for the interior shots was gorgeous too! I was hoping that the owner was going to be outside because I would have asked for a tour! lol

[@lesliewachter1275]

I've seen it from the outside but the drone footage really makes it. Great job!

The tower section of the house didn't seem to be in as bad of condition as the bottom. I've never heard of this movie til now. It was made the year I was born. I of course will have to watch it now yep yep yep. This will be the second movie I watch thanks to you doing a location video on it. Thanks again!

They actually keep up the paint on the tower I order to lesson the blight on the community. It is quite a site to see in person! Hope you enjoy the movie and thank you so much for watching!

[@JMExplorations]

Thank you for watching! This house is so amazing! We've seen it many times and just can't get enough!!!

[@kellyhenderson9972]

Love this film. That house is totally salvageable , however the extension prob needs to be knocked down and rebuilt or not. Cost quite a lot to restore however.

[@JMExplorations]

Yeah it was a good film for sure! The house is amazing! I should have gone inside when I was there! I will have to go back! Thank you for watching and commenting! :)

[@tjp2109]

I was just thinking that about the extension. BTW, I found another video where the photographer peaks inside the main house's boarded up windows, which is the first time I have ever seen anyone get close enough to look in. The video is of a photographer that takes pics of abandoned structures, urban explorer and was created by CBS, Halloween 2021. I was surprised at how well the interior was preserved, but with good materials and craftmanship, it shouldn't be a surprise. I am guessing the family will probably wait until sprawl gets close enough and sell for top dollar and demolish all of those buildings. I do not think anyone would be interested in restoring when they can sell that land for millions.

[@CybeleCotter]

I lived in Old Saybrook when they filmed part of it, but don't remember seeing the house.

[@robinluker6497]

I had this movie on my mind and was looking for videos about it then found 2 exploration videos about it: yours and one with a young couple (Urbex and Chill is the channel). They had never seen the movie but knew the basic history that the exterior of the house was used in the movie..They went all over, inside and out. One of the outbuildings is a garage and there is a car in there that is either the same car used in the movie but modified back from being a hearse to a regular classic car or its the same make of car that was never modified into a hearse. I was just comparing the car from their video to the shot you provided outside the hardware store. Parts are just like the hearse car but some differences- like the lights in front are different and the back part is different but its entirely possible that this is the same exact car but modified back to a regular car and not a hearse.

[@JMExplorations]

Thank you so much for watching and thank you for this great comment. This house is such a beauty and we are really happy to have had the chance to film it before it is gone someday.

[@jan3d3an6]

the top tower was painted in a dif. paint than the rest of the place....i wonder if someone or people are actually living up there. interesting because that top tower maybe reinforced and fantastic to live in .......i wish someone will go in that abandoned building i'll check other channel too ty

So I've just watched the film, and it was interesting, but about as scary as my dead grandmother.

[@JMExplorations]

Yeah I guess maybe in 1971 it was scary.

[@Miniver765]

I'm not sure they were even aiming for "scary" back in 1971. To me it always seemed to be more of a low-key supernatural thriller that was intended to carry a creepy, atmospheric, other worldly vibe, and centered around an emotionally fragile woman who's trying to start a new life, but questioning her own sanity. I love the film. ❤️
