Hell Night (1981)








In order to join Alpha Sigma Rho, four college students must spend the night at Garth Manor, an abandoned mansion where a family murder took place.  Soon they are terrorized by two of the supposedly dead Garth brothers, leaving only Marti Gaines to make it until morning.

Hell Night was released during 1981's horror movie deluge.  Even though it starred Linda Blair, it failed to scare up a decent box office or positive reviews.  The most terrifying aspect was the shooting schedule, which consisted of 18 hour days, 6 days a week.


Hell Night was filmed in Redlands and Sierra Madre, CA



Location: The Fraternity House
Address: 1200 East Colton Avenue, Redlands, CA

The University of Redlands - Memorial Chapel








Location: Garth Manor
Address: 1325 Prospect Drive, Redlands, CA

The lavish Kimberly Crest House & Gardens was used for Garth Manor.  The house was built in 1897 for Cornelia A. Hill, a Redland pioneer.















This was also the location for Fleetwood Mac's Big Love (1987) music video.



Location: The Police Station
Address: 55 West Sierra Madre Boulevard, Sierra Madre, CA






This is just across the street from The Buccaneer Bar from Halloween III: Season of The Witch (1982) and down the street from the film's town square, which is also the town square in Halloween II (1981).
