NEW LOCATION FOUND: I have been desperately searching for Alice and Rick's house but couldn't track it down. While I had the house number, I searched Burbank via Google Map but always came up with nothing. However, there is about a four block area not covered by Google yet, so while I had some extra time this morning, I venture down there streets and there it was! The pictures, of course, recreate Kristen's drive up to the house. Looks virtually the same all these years later.....
I'm a big fan of the Elm Street series, but most of my location visits focused on the original film. On this latest trip, I decided to focus on the fourth entry of the series. (Check out my previous blog to see some of the cast pictures.)
First up is the school. A careful look shows that this is the original Rydell High, Venice High School.
Next up, Kristen's house which I found in the Hollywood area.
The final scene takes place by a fountain right in the heart of Hollywood.
And my favorite find, The Crave Inn. This cafe is in the Culver City area, special thanks to Andras Jones for helping me track this one down!
awesome photos man. thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing! Thanks for doing this. JJ
ReplyDeleteThanks for answering my request to find these!
ReplyDeleteThis is pretty awesome I have to say!! Big fan of the 3rd, 4th and 5th movies!! Kudos
ReplyDeleteI hope you were playing "Back to the Wall" by Divinyls as you drove up to Alice's house! It's only fitting!
ReplyDeleteIt annoys me when movie location stalkers won't give up the exact addresses of places so others can't find them their selves if they ever end up in the area! ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's not that I didn't give up, you didn't ask... my facebook contact information is on every page or you can simply nicely ask what address you want....
ReplyDeleteAwesome stuff man. Keep posting! This is really interesting to see
ReplyDeleteThanks for the memories man..I was there at Venice High School when they filmed Nightmare on Elm St 4. It was cool. I tell some of my friends "you see the science building? I'm in there. Trapped in a movie and you can't see me"
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your pictures!
ReplyDeleteI'll be driving from San Diego to San Francisco next week with family. Be nice to drive around some filming location. How could I find Alice and Kristen's House, and also the park with the fountain from the end of the film? Please, I could use your help!
Sure thing, Alice's house is in Burbank (1510 Oak Street), Kristen's house is in the Hollywood area (450 N June Street), and the Mullholland Fountain is on Los Feliz and Riverside Drive.
ReplyDeleteAlso just down the street of the fountain in Los Feliz cheech and chong filmed nice dreams..
DeleteGreat pics. Kristen's house is also used the Steven Seagal movie "The Glimmer Man." I saw that first, so when I watched "Nightmare 4" for the first time I immediately recognized it.
ReplyDeletewow, the restaurant is super close to my house. Awesome finds. I also went to Venice H.S so I knew that one.

ReplyDeleteNice place.
Where was the Crave Inn and graveyard filmed?
ReplyDeleteThe Crave Inn is at 4243 Overland Avenue in Culver City; the cemetery is at Angelus-Rosedale Cemetery in Los Angeles.
ReplyDeleteGreat job !
ReplyDeleteThanks for your investigation and pictures !
Hi Robert,
ReplyDeleteDid you know if the famous Rialto Theater is torn down (a great location of Nightmare 4 too) ?
It was supposed to close in 2007 apparently :

Ok, I found this :

Theater must be still standing, I have also read that opening sequence of Scream 2 (the premiere of Stab) was shot there.
Last I saw it was still standing, but closed. And yes, the exterior of Scream 2 was shot there, but the interior theatre was shot at a different location.
ReplyDeleteAny idea where the "beach" is? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI've heard it is the beach in San Pedro, but can't officially confirm.
DeleteThanks. Watching the scene again, it looks like a location with no houses or people in sight, which is the opposite of how San Pedro is today. I wonder if that was truly the location. It looks more like a marshy area of Florida really, though I know they didn't film in Florida.
DeleteThanks, though the locations don't look anything alike. Would love to know where that scene was shot.
DeleteI was down in San Pedro for other locations earlier this year and went down to the main beach and could not find any spot that remotely resembled what you saw in the film. A lot has changed in that area over the past couple decades, but likely shot somewhere else. (San Pedro was told to be by one of the actors in the film.)
DeleteThe beach scene was actually filmed in Harbor City, at the Ken Malloy Lake and Park. It has gone some renovations of the past two years but I remember being at the park when they were filming. It was amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I don't update the blog much, just my website. Fellow set-jetter, Paul at Then & Now Movie Locations visited the site last year: http://www.thennowmovielocations.com/2012/04/nightmare-on-elm-street-part-4-dream.html
