After his masterpiece, A Nightmare on Elm Street, I was willing to give Deadly Friend a pass, however Shocker began to make me think Wes Craven was a one-hit wonder. Or at the very least, his forte was in Krueger as his involvement in Dream Warriors and eventually New Nightmare somewhat proved. Shocker is a favorite among some fans, and while it has some good ideas going for it, the final product still leaves a lot to be desired. This kind of story would be ripe for a remake...

Because of some re-landscaping and many years of change, I couldn't quite figure out the exact spots of the other scenes in the park, but here are some shots....

I met Peter Berg twice at Madonna concerts, but didn't get a shot with him... who knew he would turn into a blockbuster director??
Hey Robert, Just wanted to let you know that the exterior of the house where Peter Berg lives in the film is located at 1720 Oxley St in South Pasadena, less than a mile from Jamie Lee Curtis' home in Halloween, and it looks exactly the same. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteExcellent, right in the middle of Haddonfield, I'll check it out next visit!
DeleteI loved 'Shocker'. Wouldn't want a remake though as it's finger lickin' good as it is!!

My second question, at the beginning of the film ... we see Jonathan who is dreaming and who finds himself in front of his family's childhood home ... we see the pickup truck (Pinker) parked in front of his childhood home ... Have you managed to find the address and the exact street where is this house ?!

DeleteAh, and the spookiest location - the scary metal warehouse / workshop / something, inside which Horace keeps his television sets (and apparently pays gargantuan electricity bills, since they're all switched on all the time!) - is unknown...!
