On the news one night, they announced that the film crew had invited all the locals up to the set to watch them blow up a house. We went and I got to see Jason (Kane Hodder) stalk around and then the house getting blown to bits. It was great. You can still go down to that landing and see "Crystal Lake" painted on the sidewalk where they put it for the movie. Also, while not horror (maybe horror-ible, har har) flicks, "Under Siege" with Steven Seagal was filmed here in Mobile on the battleship, and "Stone Cold" starring the Boz was also filmed here in a notorious scene where he rides a motorcycle through a now-nonexistent shopping mall.

Most of it was filmed in Mountain Brook and Birmingham. It's pretty cool to see Ed Begley Jr. at Birmingham Country Club (yeah, another big name in the film!) I think it was Arnold's first speaking roll. His accent hasn't gotten much better. :) Oh, and if you're looking for a Halloween excuse to watch this one, Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger) was also in it! It truely is a gym (misspelling pun intended). It really is a must see. Most of it was filmed in Mountain Brook and Birmingham.

I was going to knock off a few of these horror movies around Halloween. Next up is SallyT's suggestion. I've watched the first half of "Jaws of Satan" on YouTube and there has been lots of Eutaw, Ala., shown so far. JB, that movie is definitely on the list. I actually can’t wait to see that one!

What's cool about this movie, other than the fact that it stars Jeff Bridges, Sally Field, Arnold Schwarzenegger, is that the main character tells some roughians in a bar that he plays football for Auburn...scatback. His room also has several classic Auburn artifacts hanging on the walls. If I remember correctly, the bar does as well.

It looks like "Jaws of Satan" was filmed in 1981 at Childersburg, Eutaw and Tucaloosa. I'll add it to the list. It also looks like it might have starred a young Christina Applegate (maybe her first role!). And ... and! the whole movie looks like it is on Youtube. I'll definitely be watching it for the next column. SallyT! You are right. Thanks! It looks like “Jaws of Satan” was filmed in 1981 at Childersburg, Eutaw and Tucaloosa. I’ll add it to the list.
