Anyone know what bar they used?


I'm going to be in Sydney Mines later this summer. I'd love to try to visit some of locations from one of my favourite slashers of all time. Anyone know the name of the bar they used for filming and if it still exists? It may have just been a set but would be great to stop in if it actually exists.

Are you talking about the bar of soap in the shower scene? It's green so it might have been Irish Spring although it proably would have long since deteriorated.

Thanks that's a super-helpful-douche-bag response. Anyone know the establishment where they drank at in film? Does it exist?

It's called a sense of humor, you should check into getting one, it's all the rage these days.

On a more serious note try contacting member stevp, he has a post on here saying it was filmed near his hometown, he may be able to help.

Good call, I sent an email to the addy listed in his profile a few days ago. Hopefully he responds or happens to see this thread.

Check on his addy, it should list last time he was active, at least it'll give you an idea of how often he visits the boards.

Thanks for the suggestions. He got back to me, but wasn't sure. He suggested I ask around when in the area. It's worth a shot, but I won't lose sleep if I don't figure it out!

Im from Sydney Mines, relatives of mine used to own that bar. It was on Atlantic Street and was called the Drive-in club,it was torn down about fifteen years ago

Thanks for the help iam. I have a friend here that grew up in Halifax and claims that the bar was there and it's no longer. I saw the cast speak at the Rue Morgue Cinemacabre in Toronto recently and the didn't mention going to Halifax at all. So thanks for your help! Btw someone asked them about the bar and none could remember.
