Filmed in my hometown


A good chunk of this movie was filmed in my hometown of Crandon, Wisconsin. I was 10 or 11 when it was being filmed but I remember it well and some of the extras were kids I went to school with. Pretty awful movie though :)

Really, it will be aired this morning at 3 am, so I am going to tape it and watch it tomorrow. I like horror movies.

The scenes with the Church were filmed in my home town (Calumet, MI) ...actually one of my friends dads was an extra...he got ran over by the holy-van in a scene

My dad was an extra as well. In one scene, there's a shot with a doorway and all the vampire/zombies (what, exactly, were they supposed to be, anyway?) shuffle through, and he's the first. Then, later, there's a scene (just before or after a close-up of the light-up crucifix) where they show his face in a kind of zombie panic looking back over his shoulder for a second.

I remember when they were filming this. The actors were mostly really friendly. We have some great pics from going over and watching them set up and such. It was a huge deal, in a town where nothing ever really happens.

Too bad it was so mundane that it never reached theaters.

I live in Calumet, MI also. It was kinda cool to see parts of our town in the movie, even though it wasn't a very one.

Hey! I remember that! Actually, I wasn't there (already in college) but my folks were. I've been searching for this movie for the longest time...kept coming up with a movie about teen runaways and prostitution. Anyway, the movie is pretty B-movie horror flick. The lungs coming out was real nauseating!

I was a extra in this movie. I was one of the kids waiting in line to get bit by the head vampire at the party. I was going for the role of the perverted kid, but didnt get it.

j synthetic -

I was an extra in this movie (in Calumet, Michigan) as were several of my friends. We are in the scenes with the van chasing us down Fifth Street towards the church, as well as the scene where we run into the church.

I agree the movie is pretty lame. The best part about the whole experience was meeting (and having "lunch" with) Ami Dolenz and Peter Deluise. I say "lunch" because we did all the filming at night, so midnight was like noon, and that is when we had lunch (at the Calumet Armory).

My grandparents owned the motel where the cast stayed at while filming in Calumet. It was very exciting back then to meet all the cast, as a teenager, even though I didn't know who some of them where.

Hey I'm from Crandon too. I don't remember the movie being filmed at all as I was 7 or 8, but in the opening scene you can see my parent's house.

I was an extra for this movie when they filmed in my hometown of Calumet, MI. My brother, Dale was the "day" watchman because they filmed at night.

I've never seen this movie but happened to notice it was filmed in Calumet. A friend of mine lived there (maybe she still does) back in the mid 1990's. I haven't heard from her since then, however. I think everyone there would know who she is if the town is as small as she said it was (I have never actually been there).

reply

Damn. I never would have guessed this many folks from Adonis (Calumet) were on IMDB. Well we are talking local flicks don't forget the Bruce Campbell / Angus Scrimm classic they made back in '92 that was primarily filmed out at the Gay stamp sands and ruins Mindwarp.

During the wild ride down 5th St. (main street in Calumet) Garret Morris yelled "Damn, I never seen so many white people in my life".
