@gedeonm Very tempting to go with the White House from Independence Day, but that felt like cheating, so... how about this?

The Home Alone house! 😱

@gedeonm Parts of the TV series Bates Motel was shot here in Vancouver, including exterior shots of the motel and house above.

Can you imagine aimlessly riding your motorcycle around and suddenly coming across THAT HOUSE!? Freaked me the hell out!

@KingShawn @gedeonm Even the picture freaks me out!
Show threadShawn KingMay 28

@treleanor @gedeonm Oh hell yes! But one of my best childhood memories was my mom waking me up at 11pm on a Friday night and making me sit with her, eating Chinese food she had ordered after coming home from bingo and watching that movie with her because she was too scared to watch it alone. 🤣❤️

Of course, I was only ten years old so it scarred me for life but that's a small price to pay for mother/son bonding. :)

@KingShawn @gedeonm that’s nice :) I was about 16 and had won a swimming race at the school carnival. My mother took me to the movies as a treat, we didn’t know what would be on. Wouldn’t take a shower for years. Scarred for life!
Show threadShawn KingMay 28
@treleanor @gedeonm LOL SAME! I wouldn't shower with the shower curtain closed for MONTHS! Pissed my mother off that the bathroom was covered in water but I always said to her, “This is YOUR FAULT!” :)
Show threadTrish RobertsMay 28
@KingShawn @gedeonm Definitely her fault!
Show threadShawn KingMay 28

@treleanor @gedeonm LOL Absolutely! But it became a wonderful tradition - she'd come home from bingo with Chinese food, wake me up, and we'd watch old, classic scary movies together, just me and her. ❤️

What I wouldn't give to do it just one more time with her. 😢

"It's now a prestige hotel, although at the time of filming The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Oakley Court was a dilapidated shell. The crew had to work around buckets catching the rainwater from the holes in the roof and tread carefully on the old rotting timbers. It is said that most of the cast caught very bad colds during filming.

The house was originally built in 1859 for Sir Richard Hall Say."

@gedeonm he RC Harris Water Treatment Plant in Toronto's Beaches district has placed many memorable roles in so many films. Usually a grim, foreboding edifice on film. Used in Mutant X and Robocop and other films - and tv series like Thr Expanse.

It also played a charming major role (as itself) in Michael Ondaatje's book In The Skin of a Lion, set in Toronto (a prequel to The English Patient).

@deborahh @gedeonm The actual structure is gorgeous, both exterior and interior. It is an Art Deco Palace of Purification, built back when design was an important aspect of civil infrastructure.
