Bates Motel (1987)

Happy anniversary to BATES MOTEL (1987) at SET-JETTER.COM

Ouija (2014)

UPDATE: Check out the new OUIJA page at SET-JETTER.COM

Scheduled for release in October 2014, Ouija looks like we finally have a Witchboard successor.  Starring the great Olivia Cooke from Bates Motel, after seeing the trailer tonight I knew the house looked familiar.  It was also "grandma's house" in Phantasm II....

UPDATE September 2014:  While I was in the area, I thought I would grab some more shots of the house in anticipation of the film's release...

UPDATE October 2014:

A few more shots of the house while I was on the street....

And a few houses down is another house seen in the film....

And the diner seen in the film....

The "asylum"....

Bates Motel (2013)

At this time, there's only been a handful of episodes of the new Bates Motel series, but so far I like it enough to keep watching.   (For those interested, yes, I'm a Psycho fan and my bathroom is a "Bates Motel" bathroom, see here.)  On my recent first trip to Vancouver, British Columbia, I decided to check out some of the locales...

The town of "White Pine Bay" is set in a couple of locations, the first is up in Horseshoe Bay, which was used several times in the second episode and most memorably for a death by the big propeller...

Screenshots...

The area of Steveston is also used for the town in the fourth episode...

Screenshots....

The street in front of the Bates Motel is featured a few times....

Screenshots...

At the time of the visit, the show was on hiatus, so the motel and house were boarded up, but was still worth a visit...

The stand for the Bates motel stand...

Vera at Sundance in 2012.....

UPDATE: The seventh episode returned to Horseshoe Bay for a couple of scenes.    Here is the main street again with the propeller at the end of the street.....

Screenshots...

And the "hardware store" which is on the same block....

UPDATE:  Episode 8 features the 2400 Motel in Vancouver featured in countless other productions....
