Same house/cabin as Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter?

I am almost certain that the cabin Bronson meets his old partner/buddy is the same house that they filmed Friday The 13th 4 in.
Anyone else confirm this?

Yeppers. It's the same cabin.

The house used as the Jarvis house in Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter is the same house used in Murphy's Law. It is a real house also. The house is not to be confused with the second house used in The Final Chapter, which the teenagers rented in the film. That house was specifically built for Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter.

No stairs in Final Chapter house, explain...

[–] modano1973 15 years ago

melsen, you may want to watch Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter again.

There are a number of scenes in Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter where the Tommy Jarvis character, the Trish Jarvis character, and the Rob Dier character are clearly seen going up (and down) a set of stairs in the Jarvis house. First, when Tommy wants to show Rob his mask collection. Second, when Trish and Tommy arrive back home to find their mother not home. Then again, when Tommy hears Rob breaking the window pane of the house door. We see the stairs again when Tommy is sitting on them, looking at the old newspaper clippings. The stairs are also seen during the final chase between Jason, Trish and Tommy. When we get our first glimpse of Tommy with his new look, to resemble a young Jason, he is running down the same set of stairs.

Those same set of stairs are seen in Murphy's Law at the exact same location of the house we see in The Final Chapter. Of course there are other areas of the house, besides the stairs, that are exactly identical in the two films.

And Bronson faints in the same room Jason "dies" in. Strange forces at work in that house.

It's a good thing for Jason that Charles Bronson wasn't there at the same time. Bronson would've hung that hockey mask off his belt loop as a trophy.

I have a new philosophy. I'm only going to dread one day at a time.

Also isn't that the same airport from To Live and Die in LA and the same food market from Busting?
