Wasn’t it filmed up in Jasper?

Hmm. Apparently not.

I don’t know where I got that idea from.

@chris @crispius I don't know that I've heard that one although given I know Jasper extremely well I would have discounted it immediately if I had heard it.

It’s actually kind of interesting: I did some quick searching and @chris and I aren’t the only one who thought that the Jasper Park Lodge was used in the film. It appears to be a Canadian Mandala Effect moment!

@crispius @Chigaze @chris Maybe misremembering the Banff Springs Hotel connection? Allegedly a similar murder happened there and the guest room was sealed up afterwards. Supposedly it isn't visible from inside, but one could see older curtains through its window compared to surrounding windows. The hotel says this is just legend, of course.
