For my 100th blog post, I decided to tackle one of my childhood favorites. It's the perfect film for the Halloween season.
Lady In White (1988) was filmed in many different places, including Raleigh Studios in Los Angeles and the cliffs of Kauai, Hawaii. But it was primarily filmed in the small town of Lyons, New York.

Lyons served as most of the small town exteriors. The Wayne County Courthouse was used as the courthouse in the film. At the beginning of the film, as Frankie races through town on his bicycle, the Ohmann Theater is briefly shown. This historic theater was built in 1915 but closed in the late 1980s, around the time the movie was made. In 2005 the theater was renovated and re-opened, and is still open for business. The scene where Frankie rides into the wet cement was filmed just down the road from the Ohmann. Geno is seen jumping out of a neighboring alley.

The fictional Willowpoint Falls School where Frankie is locked in the cloakroom closet was at the time Midlakes Middle School in Phelps, New York. It is located at the intersection of Main Street and Banta Street. The distinct crescent cloakroom window appears to be a facade. However, the former school is actually located next to a cemetery, so no movie magic was required to accomplish that feat. The building is currently an independent senior living community known as Vienna Gardens.

The Scarlatti house is located in Lyons, a few miles north of the town area and the Courthouse. The house and barn don't appear to have changed much. The driveway sets the house pretty far back from the road, but you can catch a glimpse of it from County Road 245.
