It had been 6 years since a Halloween movie was released. 7 years since a Halloween movie WITH Michael Myers. The world was ready for another installment. I was 10 when Halloween 4 was released and I remember seeing the TV commercials for it. I watched it a few years later at a friend's house and there were some things I wasn't crazy about, like the mask with the surprised expression a bad facelift would leave you with and how Michael looked like he played for The New York Giants. While Jamie Lee Curtis' absence is definitely noticeable, Halloween 4 does deliver on atmosphere, starting with it's amazing opening sequence. It also delivers some good scares, above par acting for a horror flick and an awesome rooftop chase scene before shocking us with it's surprise ending.
Halloween 4 was filmed in Salt Lake City, Honeyville, Brighman City, Ogden, Midvale and Rush Valley, UT

Awesome work! I followed the location thread on OHMB (my screen name is Bronson) and Mr. H's work is nothing short of amazing! Thanks for finding these spots and taking pics. Pretty sure you are the first to actually publish these spots with pics. Again, good work and thanks!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bronson! You're my first comment! Yeah, Mr. H is the man. I can't believe he found Alice's house from Halloween II and the opening shots from Halloween 4 among many others. Glad you like the pics! I had a blast checking out these locations!
ReplyDeleteBronson here again. Maybe you can help me find a location from Slumber Party Massacre 3. I've been looking for the main house for a long time. Don't know why but it has become a personal quest to find a location from a pretty crappy film!! Apparently it was filmed around Playa Vista, however I've checked everywhere around Playa, Venice, and Santa Monica with no luck. I even asked Mr. H to help and he had no luck. Either the house doesn't look anything like it did in the film, or the filmmakers couldnt remember where it was and I've been looking in the wrong area all along. Just curious if you could help. Thanks in advance!
DeleteGreat job Unfortunately Vincent Drug shut down?? But if it did when exactly? Thanks
DeleteThanks! An article from 2017 describes Vincent Drug as having been closed for ten years so apparently it was 2007.
DeleteHmm, unfortunately I don't have any info on that location. I've only seen the first one and wasn't that big a fan. Have you contacted the webmaster from http://www.hockstatter.com? It looks like he may now just be on Facebook but his whole site is dedicated to those films. He only has the locations of the first one up there, but he may know of some from the sequels.
ReplyDeleteWOW! I particularly love Halloween/Haddonfield locations.
ReplyDeleteGreat work, Brian, and great blog!
Harry C.
Thanks, Harry C.!
DeleteAny luck on locating the final scene where Michael falls into the well? Great job on this by the way!!!
DeleteThanks Sam! Unfortunately I haven't been able to locate the shootout at the well location yet but I am looking.
DeleteI have been looking for Earl's bar location for awhile.
DeleteEarls Bar was located at 9350 Bingham highway in copperton, UT but has since been torn down
DeleteAhhh,it looks like there were other buildings around there in the movie so it must have all been leveled.
DeleteThe houses were all razed a long time ago but the bar only closed around 2011. It was called the Ore House Saloon.
DeletePlanning a trip to Salt Lake this summer, this is gonna help BIG! Any updates on maybe where the ending shootout takes place?
ReplyDeleteThat's great you're getting out there! I had read the police station was torn down and Vincent Drug looks headed that way too. Hopefully it will still be standing when you go. Unfortunately I haven't had any luck with the ending shootout yet. Maybe Mr. H from the halloweenmovies message board will perform another miracle.
DeleteSince there's no real standout landmarks during the finale it's hard to tell, but i'm pretty sure it was filmed along either Bonneville Blvd or 120 E. These both run along City Creek. More than likely it was filmed along 120 E. This runs thru the Memory Grove park where other scenes were filmed. This was probably also the location for the opening of part 5 with the white water rafting shape and hermit shack party. I hope to get there at some point. Beautiful area!
DeleteThe opening of Halloween 5 was filmed up at Big Cottonwood Canyon.
DeleteI managed to find out from a crew member where the ending took place. Unfortunately it no longer exists as the Little Dell Reservoir in Parleys Canyon was constructed there between 1987 and 1993.
DeleteAlthough the crew member didn't know, I think it's likely that some or all of the 'driving out of Haddonfield' scenes were also filmed up there on the original UT-65.
The Meeker house roof was also built somewhere in the area. Ellie Cornell even mentions in her commentary that the area was going to be flooded.
Wow, thanks PaulH, as always! I'm glad to see you are still on the hunt for Halloween locations. That's a bummer it's no longer around.
DeleteVincent drug is still there. I read that it has been kept up due to being so popular from the Halloween movies and The Sandlot.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it's still around and didn't fall way of the police station.
DeleteJust confirming that the police station (Midvale city center) has been demolished, it is currently an empty lot as of 10/20/2017.
ReplyDeleteThanks for confirming, Colby. Sorry to hear that.
DeleteGood detective work! I live in Ogden and the part where the bridge can be seen is super hidden in west Ogden. So I am impressed!
ReplyDeleteThanks, but I can't take credit as these particular locations were found by other people, I just went and visited them.
DeleteThis is so AWESOME.... Halloween 4 is my favorite out of all of them. I am so jelious. I would love love love to go there and see all these places.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope you get to venture out to Salt Lake soon!
DeleteI live in the Ogden area and I drive past the bridge almost every day. I drove past it for years not even knowing what its significance in this movie. When I first watched this movie a few years back I thought it looked super familiar. Further research confirmed that is indeed the same bridge
ReplyDeleteNice. I was a little creeped out venturing down there.
