I attended Payson High the 1st year it was open 1968. Memories......
What a great story!! I remember when they filmed the movie. My grandparents lived in Lehi and it was such a huge deal when they were doing scenes at the roller mills. Awesome memories from and awesome time in life.
I never get tired of watching it

Me either. One of my 😍. 🕺 💃
I saw this story on Fox 13 news Utah at 9 I love this story. Thanks for doing this. The reaction from Bob Evans and Allison croghan was so cool I can't stop smiling. Bob Evans has been my favorite news anchor for a long time. And Allison croghan is awesome doing the weather. You guys are definitely loved here in Logan. Yes please Kevin baccon come back to the great state of Utah for the prom.
This past May marked the 40th birthday of this film. 2 months from now will be 40 years since it;s theatrical release.
This is like taking a stroll down memory Lane
At 1:54, that's cool how they have pictures on the wall above the lockers. I wonder who is going to get Kevin Bacon's locker when they tear down the school? They should either give it to Kevin or put it in the Smithsonian Institution. I saw this in the theaters way back in the summer of 1984. I will always like this movie, I don't know what it is about it. Maybe it's just the innocence, or reminds me of my youth, or because of all the action scenes, or maybe the great music soundtrack that came from it. It reminds me of simpler times, people just enjoying themselves and having fun.
40 years!! What !?I saw this movie while I was in high school!
The church and the house was on my street in American Fork. It was fun to know that they were filming but kind of a pain because they closed my street.
It’s sad that they are replacing Payson High School with a new one. All that history and nostalgia gone.
Love this movie and I’m so proud to go to that school
Its beautiful it is part of the memories from a lot of people because it was filmed in the real world. Something almost unheard of nowadays with giant movie sets and CGI. He is going.
Payson High will live on in Footloose ❤
Y’all are killin’ it! Excellent work - in all aspects. I’m so impressed and I used to work at a high school for the last 10 years. Y’all have serious talent. Keep going! Congratulations!
I have played and been in the field where the parents stood near the end.... My Grandma's house was a few blocks away.
My locker, my senior year was right where they walk in front. I remember being jealous, because I was in jr high, & the band students got to go to the high school during filming for class. We were all jealous of older brothers & sisters who were in high school & got to be extras.
Ah, yes. I remember when they filmed Foot Loose in Payson. It's hard to believe that was forty years ago. It was a fun movie to watch as well since most people would say to themselves, "Oh, that's the Lehi Roller Mill!" or "That's Payson High School." I don't live in Utah anymore, even though I would love to be back in Utah. I hope Kevin Bacon does come back for the prom next year before the school is torn down. We'll keep our fingers crossed.
I was 10 when Footloose came out. Love that movie.
Why tear down the high school if it's structurally sound? Save the school!!! I saw the movie back when it first was released. I don't remember too much but I loved the music.
What a wonderful story about Payson HS! Also, big kudos to Kevin Bacon for accepting the invitation to be there for their Prom!
I was in Payson Jr high when they filmed it pretty cool
Love this movie
One of the greatest movies !!
A great look back! Thanks! Stacey is my mom’s boss. 😅
Lovely people in this town.
Love this
BTW, Kevin Bacon said he would be there.
Yay Utah! I live in Utah!
It’s still a FANTASTIC Movie … Congratulations Everyone! Kevin Bacon is an Amazing Guy!
Thats great History. Lol loved how they changed their seating as the camera moved. Nooooo!! You cant tare down the school.
He is going.
I never watched the film except for the inevitable clips of the leading man. I'm glad the town enjoyed it so much
A lot of my nieces and nephews went to Payson High.
What a nice story! 😊
He said YES!
Kevin bacon said yes he would go
I love this movie and I also love dirty dancing.I love both of them
I think all the stars of Footloose should show up for prom.

Sadly it won't be happened like that, at least not for Christopher Penn (acted as Willard Hewitt in the movie). Chris Penn was passed away on 24 January, 2006 with enlarged heart diseases when he was 41.
So where are the pictures of them at the club in provo where they snuk out dancing
Lucky students and those great people involved
The fact that Kevin Bacon actually came back to the school just shows how cool he is!
Was there when they were. Filming.
Great !!
So cool!
A great story and he came to the prom❤
I was 20, now I'm 60 years old. 😂
Grandparents had a house two blocks from Lehi Roller Mills, Lehi was a nice quiet little farming community when I remember it back in the 60’s and 70’s and early 80’s then California showed up and ruined everything

I am still in Lehi, have been for 55 years. I remember the filming at the Roller Mills. It has definitely changed since then.
Nooooo...I wanna go see it before it gets wrecked!!
It would be cool to see the cut cheer scene.
❤
So many cool things are being tore down they need to make a petition to save Payson School
Fitting that it was filmed in Utah. Since Utah is the “before” version of the town in the movie
Better tear down Ogden High School. That place is getting too old as well.
You said you have'nt met Kevin Bacon well you'll get your chance I encourage one and all to meet Kevin Bacon OK??!! Have fun!!! Ya'll have. great time now!!!! Ya Here!!!!
Hope they save those lockers !!
I once dance now can not.
Is. The camber. Still same. Gas station. Same what’s same. In Payson. In Utah
great movie....the real Footloose movie 1984...the others version for oblivion
I would love to see all these deleted scenes. What a shame the “Footloose 84” Highschool is gonna be demolished.
Have friend. Live cross street. From church. She stills lives In Payson in Utah
Does the city have a dancing bans days 😂
