My girlfriend and I recently went out to West Hollywood. We stayed with some friends that live there. We were surprised and delighted to find out that the house they used to film the original Nightmare on Elm Street was only about two blocks away from where we were staying.


*This house is in the middle of a residential neighborhood. It is not identifiable unless you know what you are looking for. People currently live here. {Would you want to live in Freddy's house?}

*It isn't on Elm Street, although there is an Elm Street nearby. It is on Genesee Street.

And here's one we took on our black and white camera.

thats prety cool..

interesting though that they actually used a house rather than just some set. or did they only use the front of the house and all the scenes were in a set somewhere?

anyways.. neat find.

That's cool. (I'm not sure I'd actually eat anything they served, but it's cool nonetheless.)

Yeah, I already live in my house. What kind of question is that?

Actualy, it did use to be on Elm Street. They didnt move the house, they swiched the street names. Cause some parents were mad cause their children tired going in it and were scared of it and didnt want to sleep. When the people that make all the names or whatever herd what the mothers were mad about, they simply said "hey, you shouldn't have even showed a young child that movie, so its your fault really." But, hey, everyone knows Freddy, he's better known then Santa. And so, after a lot of petitions, they swiched street names.

Freddy, if it's true about the street-switch, the parents of the Genesee Street children must've been thrilled...

Bwind...I just gotta know - where the stairs ACTUALLY filled with sticky goo?

This would be the ultimate dream vacation for the little horror lover me! Got someone to bring me back a post card of the Tower who went a while back too!

Just never have the funds to go. Haven't even travelled to see my dad in 12 years for that reason. We are maxed with our credit and all!

One day maybe...............

Hi Fluff, I don't really know about frequent flier miles. If I don't really travel much, how could I use this? Trying to accumulate air miles here, but I have a long way to go. Just don't have the credit because we put all of our debts together last year on to our visa, and now we have very little to work with. Never been anywhere really except for BC or North Dakota and Washington, over the border of BC.

well first of all i forgot to mention its $50 renewal every year

as for traveling i guess it depends. like most people people have several cards. so u could always use this to rack up i dunno 10000 miles lets say, enuogh for u and ur hus band to go to ??? whereever u need. then u could always cancel it?

anyway thats what my family all has and u can give them away. good for families too, pay for kids tickets

anothe destination i wouldn't mind is athens ohio...heard lot of stories about that town .
like when u connect the 5 cemetaries on the map it creates a pentagram and the college is in the middle of it and thats the most haunted place on none haunted part of the college campus is the deans office which would b at the exact middle of the pentagram
