Hello everybody! I appreciate you stopping by the channel. I've started this channel all over again because I feel as though my focus has changed. After moving to Los Angeles in 2016, I wanted to start focusing primarily on movie locations, theme parks, and random experiences on my travels. I want all my viewers to know that every time you explore with me, we're exploring together! Where to next?

    thanks for the cool coverage....the entry way where the brother comes out the window was in the back of the house. That was an add on cause the driveway went straight to the back. It was cool to see the inside of the cafe too!

    Growing up, as a dumb kid, I didn’t know that when we visited my cousins in Pasadena, we were just a mile or two from key filming locations. It wasn’t until I was in my 20s when I became a fan of the franchise that I looked up these sites and realized how close they were to my cousins’ childhood home. Lots of neighborhoods in Pasadena give off Halloween vibes.

    I love that you found the opening scene for thriller……….but in 1986 there was a movie called night of the creeps it kind of reminds me of thriller especially in the opening scene for it but especially there is also a scene in the beginning where the sees meteor fall from the sky and they drive away well when they leave from looking over the city the shot where they drive down the road is I think the same exact shot where thriller was filmed………I can show you what I’m talking about but you have to put it exactly how I put it but here it is type in “ night of the creeps 1986 directors cut comedy flick axe at the car” type that in and watch it entirely and you’ll see what I mean …..and if you line the tow car scenes up perfectly they’re identical

    Wow. Real Cool. By Deductive Reasoning, You Can Come to The Conclusion that The Director Would Not Choose the First Site As It Is a Main Vein for Car Travel. The Exact Location is Less Traveled by Vehicles, Meaning that One Has More Ability to Control the Shoot. The Thriller Video is Incredible.

    It's really hit and miss. During this time of the season, usually the weekends you want to avoid. I'm not saying it's impossible if you want to take your chances, but if you do go, park a few blocks away from the main strip (Mission Dr.) and walk a few blocks. Trust me lol.

The Universal Studios lot where they filmed the Hills Valley courthouse scenes is not though, as it's not a real town. I hope you do Part 2 and Part 3 in, ahem, the future! One place in Part 3 I want to see is where Marty comes back to 1985 from 1885 and then the Delorean is promptly destroyed by an oncoming train and then Jennifer and Marty see Doc and his family arrive by the time travel train he made! I do know where that is, and I was surprised to find out it's only like a block from the ocean!
