PET SEMATARY II (1992)
Once again, a sequel comes to Georgia for filming instead of the original locations. I actually thought they did a good job of making it seem like the same locations even though the original was filmed in Maine. In fact, I’m not even sure I knew or realized it was Georgia the first time I…… Continue reading PET SEMATARY II (1992)

SLEEPAWAY CAMP III: TEENAGE WASTELAND (1989)
Like Sleepaway Camp 2, Part 3 relocated from Georgia to New York for filming, and it was actually filmed back-to-back with Part 2 at the very same camp. I recruited one of my friends to accompany me to this rural spot, and we called the number on the For Sale sign and got permission to…… Continue reading SLEEPAWAY CAMP III: TEENAGE WASTELAND (1989)
SLEEPAWAY CAMP II: UNHAPPY CAMPERS (1988)
While the first ‘Sleepaway Camp’ filmed in New York, 2 and 3 both came to Georgia for filming. I was super excited and then immediately disappointed when I found this out, because it also said that the camp was torn down shortly after filming. After a little more research, I figured out that that wasn’t…… Continue reading SLEEPAWAY CAMP II: UNHAPPY CAMPERS (1988)
FRIDAY THE 13TH, PART VI: JASON LIVES (1986)
Maybe I’m biased, since they filmed this one in Georgia in my hometown, but Jason Lives is far and away my favorite Friday the 13th. It’s funny, it’s clever, and it’s the only one to actually have Jason, in full hockey mask garb, slicing up counselors at a functioning summer camp. Plus it’s just really…… Continue reading FRIDAY THE 13TH, PART VI: JASON LIVES (1986)
HALLOWEEN II (2009)
Halloween II is special for being the first movie I can personally remember coming to film in my hometown of Covington. I knew Covington had been in The Dukes of Hazzard and In The Heat of the Night, and I had seen it in Friday the 13th Part 6 as well, but before Rob Zombie…… Continue reading HALLOWEEN II (2009)
DOCTOR SLEEP (2019)
I never in a million years would have guessed how much I would love a sequel to The Shining. I had not read the book when the movie was released, but I went to see it opening day anyway and I was blown away. I thought it was excellent, really well done by director Mike…… Continue reading DOCTOR SLEEP (2019)
GOOSEBUMPS 2: HAUNTED HALLOWEEN (2018)
3 years and even more script & title changes after the original, Goosebumps 2 returned to Georgia for filming. This time they came even closer to home, filming several scenes in my hometown of Covington. Like the first movie, I enjoyed it for what it was, even if it was noticeably lacking in any new…… Continue reading GOOSEBUMPS 2: HAUNTED HALLOWEEN (2018)
GOOSEBUMPS (2015)
I have been obsessed with Goosebumps for as long as I can remember, so the movie being filmed here in Georgia was a dream come true! I enjoyed the movie, and thought it did a pretty good job of looking and feeling like a Goosebumps story. The main plot feels like a combination of The…… Continue reading GOOSEBUMPS (2015)
