i was in San Fran last week and......

I've lived in SF for nearly seven years and still haven't heard of Tracey Park. It looks dead on like Golden Gate park, just without the homeless punk rockers, hippies, and general dirtbags.

I also think that Paula and Natalie "lived" in Marin County, which is directly across the Golden Gate Bridge. Often, especially in horror films, directors will completely *beep* up the directions in our city, and have a shot of someone driving towards Marin County on the Bridge only to end up in The City itself moments later. Fulci did it with Perversion Story, and the same thing happened in Beyond The Door.

I don't live very far from the bridge, so maybe one day I'll trek down to it and snap some photos of the film locations.

The whole "out of whack" shooting of locations happens all the time. From what I recall, in the movie "Disturbia", the house Shia LaBouf's character lived in and the house of his murderous next door neighbor, though appearing to be VERY close in the movie, they are actually miles away in real life(one house was in Whittier, and the other was in Pasadena). Cut the footage right and it look like they are right next to each other. Sometimes they just change names of locations specifically for the movies they are in. Sometimes they'll be filming at schools, and they'll put up fake names in the front of the schools, but in real life, the schools are named something else.

The filming locations are in San Francisco and Los Angeles and Glendale on IMDb. They are not specific about the exact whereabouts in SF. I had to look hard to see the Golden Gate Bridge on the film poster. But it is there on the left-hand side.
