Tourists were split into two groups, about a dozen people each. The fans were mostly middle-aged Generation Xers, but there were some younger adults, along with one elderly woman whose middle-aged kids talked her into going on the tour. The staff at Crystal Lake Adventures do not do media interviews or allow any commercial photography.
My tour guide said events always sell out quickly, and word-of-mouth among Friday the 13th fans provides plenty of publicity. Savini and his assistant, Taso N. Stavrakis, bunked in the cabins at Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco during filming, while other crew and cast members stayed in nearby hotels. Living at the camp was a blast, Savini recalls on a phone call, and the two passed their downtime riding motorcycles through the woods, and watching movies like Marathon Man and Barbarella on Betamax, a rival of VHS.
Unlike with CGI, old-fashioned horror scenes require fake blood that needs to be cleaned up. At the time of Friday the 13th , Savini thought this was just a one-time, low-budget horror movie about a murderous mother killing camp counselors because her son drowned. Savini intended his lake scene with Jason—inspired by the ending of the horror film Carrie , where a hand pops out of a grave—to be a dream sequence. Producers came up with the idea of bringing Jason back as an adult killer in the second movie and asked Savini to participate, but he walked, thinking the concept was silly and implausible.
He came out of the lake and lived off crayfish for many years? Savini returned for Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter in The fourth movie truly intended to kill Jason off, Savini says. But money talks, and the franchise continued with a copycat killer in the fifth movie, and a chronically resurrected Jason in the next five Jason films, plus Freddy vs.
Jason in In , a remake of Friday the 13th was released. Others pose for selfies in front of the Camp Crystal Lake sign or a green Jeep autographed by cast members, before we break off into smaller groups. The Jeep is a replica of the CJ-5 that the wicked Mrs. Voorhees drives in the movie. Part III marks the first time that a Friday the 13th film was not shot on the East coast, as the crew needed a more controlled environment to regulate the movie's 3D effects.
Instead, production took place in Veluzat Motion Picture Ranch in Santa Clarita, California with its own constructed barn, cabin, and lake. The ranch is still used as a production site, but the cabin that was used in the film burned down in In addition, the scene with the biker gang was shot at what is now the Green Valley Cafe in the Santa Clarita area. In the first and almost only time that two movies technically shared a shooting location, the opening to The Final Chapter was also at Veluzat Ranch.
Nevertheless, the rest of the film took place in different locations. The expendable teens went skinny-dipping in the waters of Zaca Lake, while they hiked along the trails that surround the area. The Zaca Lake Lodge, in fact, marks the third time so far that a Friday the 13th shooting location burned down, this time more recently in The place is a popular filming site, with its ties to Hollywood productions going all the way back to the silent era.
Most notably, the lake was also where the Universal monster classic, Creature from the Black Lagoon , was shot.
Despite the title of the movie, production for the series continued to remain in California in various locations around the Los Angeles area. As opposed to the other entries in the franchise, a chunk of the action was shot in the middle of an urban area, albeit in the idyllic Franklin Canyon Park, which is tucked inside the Beverly Hills portion of the Santa Monica Mountains.
Corey Feldman was too busy shooting The Goonies to appear on set, so the crew traveled to his backyard for his cameo in the opening scene. For the sixth film, production moved down south to Georgia. The town scenes, including the sheriff's office where Tommy Jarvis fails to convince the law that Jason is back from the dead, were shot in Covington.
The small city, located outside of Atlanta, shares slasher blood with Rob Zombie's Halloween II , which was also shot there. Luckily, the camp still exists and holds occasional tours and screenings, perhaps because Jason Lives is so well-beloved by Friday the 13th fans. A point of contention exists over which cemetery Jason emerged from at the beginning of the film.
Fansites often state that it was Covington Cemetary, but screencap comparisons and recovered call sheet documents reveal that it was actually Old Madison Cemetary in Madison, GA. It's comforting to know that what is considered arguably the most entertaining entry in the series has its shooting locations comparatively well-preserved.
Production for The New Blood stayed in the south but moved over to neighboring Alabama, specifically within Baldwin County and around the city of Mobile. Byrnes Lake was chosen for the outdoor activities this time, although this time the cabins were all constructed for the film and then torn down.
In an odd bit of Southern flair, there was even a gator wrangler hired in case the beasts attacked the cast and crew, but the gators weren't active during the time of the shooting. Here's the truth behind this lethal locale. While Jason Voorhees may not be around stalking counselors, Camp Crystal Lake is a real, functional summer camp. However, the camp offers occasional tours for "Friday the 13th" fans to visit filming locations, take photos, and participate in camp life. In the past, guests have received exclusive souvenirs and been joined by celebrity guests like Adrienne King and Ari Lehman.
They even offer nighttime tours for the more daring fans. In addition to pleasing horror fans, the tours also help the camp raise money for its youth programs and various projects.
