The Waco Tragedy - Mt. Carmel Center - Waco, TX


I visited this location in August of 2021. All that was asked of me was a $5 donation, which I gave with no hesitation. I want you to look through these photos really well. Above is the new chapel buildt where the front of the larger complex stood before it burned down. The original flag pole remains.

Quick Hill - "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)" Filming Location - Round Rock, TX

 



Without a doubt, the original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" film is one of the scariest of all time. I made sure to seek out this location of where the original house once stood, as well as where the road where the final chase scene happened. 


The old road and area where the Sawyer house was is almost unrecognizable here in 2021, but some remnants remain. I would encourage you to visit this location as soon as possible as there is a lot of construction going on around it, and this site will no doubt disappear in the coming years. It is fenced off and labeled "private property." You can find it directly south of the Camden La Frontera Apartments in Round Rock, Texas. 


Each set of photos here has a screen shot of the original film, combined with an image of how that location looked in August of 2021.

On Saturday, July 17th, 2021, I made the trip to Whiting, Iowa to watch the film right by the infamous flag pole, where some major scenes in the original "Children of the Corn" movie were filmed. The above image is some of the original "children" reuniting at the flag pole itself.

Paul Rudd played the ever-cautious Tommy Doyle in "Halloween 6." His house (actually Mrs. Blankenship's house - Tommy just lived upstairs) is located directly across the street from the Myers house.
