I wish I could stop blogging about the Chateau Bradbury Estate, but it keeps turning up again and again.

In the low-budget slasher comedy Scream Bloody Murder (2003), the estate turns up at the beginning of the film as a private school called Cherrymount Academy For Girls.  This is the estate's fourth appearance on this blog, the previous posts can be found here, here, and here.  As mentioned in the previous posts, the estate has appeared in the movies Grosse Pointe Blank (1997), Ghoulies IV (1994), Confessions Of Sorority Girls (1994), and The Stray (2000).  The estate has also made appearances on the TV shows Tales From The Crypt (1989) and Bones (2005).  Check out the previous blog posts for screencaps from the Estate's other on-screen appearances.  And don't be surprised if this location turns up a fifth time.

Brief update on a location that was already covered.

Grosse Pointe Blank (1997) is set in Michigan, but it was clearly filmed primarily in the Los Angeles area.  The high school in the film is John Marshall High School, a very recognizable Los Angeles high school that has been featured in countless films.  

The Newberry home in the film, where the climactic shootout between John Cusack and Dan Aykroyd takes place, is a location that has been covered previous in this blog both here and here.  It is the Chateau Bradbury Estate, and it was also featured in Ghoulies IV (1994), Confessions Of Sorority Girls (1994), and The Stray (2000), as well as episodes of Bones (2005) and Tales From The Crypt (1989).  Check out the previous blog posts for screencaps from the Estate's other on-screen appearances.

Confessions Of Sorority Girls

Brief update on a location that was already covered.  I spotted the Chateau Bradbury Estate in another movie, Confessions Of Sorority Girls (1994), which aired on Showtime as part of Roger Corman's Rebel Highway series.  The house was also featured in Ghoulies IV (1994) and The Stray (2000), as well as episodes of Bones and Tales From The Crypt.  The location was previously covered here, which includes screencaps from the other movies.

The finale of Ghoulies IV (1994) was filmed at the Chateau Bradbury Estate in Duarte, California.  In the film, it was called the Hochstatter Mental Hospital (possibly a reference to Sorority House Massacre II (1990), another Jim Wynorski film).  The estate was also used as the home of the main characters in The Stray (2000).  It has also turned up in a few TV shows, including the Bones (2005) episode titled “Death In The Saddle” and at the end of the Tales From The Crypt (1989) episode “Lover Come Hack To Me”.

Beginning with the Waxwork itself...

Waxwork

A very unique looking home, located right across the street from the Marlborough School.  I couldn't find much history on the place.  It was built in 1924.  Very interesting building though, it definitely catches your eye.

Another house you see in Waxwork (1988) (actually, the first thing you see in the movie) has quite a cinematic history.

The house is known as the Higgins-Verbeck-Hirsch Mansion, and in Waxwork it served as the home of Mark (Zach Galligan).  But its film credits don't end with Waxwork.

The house was also the main location for the movie Witchboard (1986).

The house is featured in Willard (1971) and its sequel Ben (1972).  William Castle filmed a movie there called The Night Walker (1964).  It served as the frat house in Rush Week (1991), even appearing on the film's poster and VHS cover.  You can also spot it briefly as the attorney's office in Elvira, Mistress Of The Dark (1988).

In addition to film, the house also has several television credits.  It is most memorably featured in a season two episode of Tales From The Crypt (1989) titled Television Terror.  You can also spot the house in a season two episode of Beverly Hills 90210 (1990) titled Halloween.

The house has many other credits, including: Inner Sanctum II (1994), Life Without Dick (2002), Masked & Anonymous (2003), Secret Games 3 (1994), and more.

The current owners have restored the mansion, and it is now "retired" as a filming location.
