66/100 Movielishious, Yelptastic, and yelptacular reviews Challenge for 2017 Hot***** A Cool yelpoilicious movie ranch that was once beautiful, right up until the Santa Clarita fire destroyed it, and that's heartbreaking! 5 Stars***** Yelposphere awesomeness!! 5/5 Stars*****Beauty 5/5 Stars*****location 5/5 Stars*****History 5/5 Stars*****Rock band Seether 5/5 Stars*****Amy Lee of Evanescence 5/5 Stars*****Shaun Morgan of Seether I've had many of good times here, however the best time I have ever had was, when I got to be in my favorite rock bands video. It was for Seether's video Remedy in 2007. I got to put on a wetsuit got into a swamp in 20' coldness, and rocked out while the band played. lol I was with 20 other extras and we all acted a fool's and it was fun. We can all be seen 2:30 min into the video ha ha we we are all dancing like crazy because we're Freezing lol It was a good time because I also got to hangout with one of my favorite singers Amy Lee from Evanescence because she was there. It was a fun experience with good people and no security to stop us from hanging out, shooting the breeze, and sight seeing.... Sad to know that this place burnt to the ground, because this ranch has always been known as an alternative filming location! Alternative filming locations are always needed because the studios don't always welcome sequels. Like Rob Zombies House of 1,000 Corpses was filmed on a studio lot but the devil's rejects was filmed here, because Universal was a mite unhappy with the first film, so they were less than delighted to welcome its even grimmer sequel back to the lot. So the alternative filming for the sequel was here. The Firefly house was recreated and Charlie Altamont's 'Frontier Fun Town' was also filmed here, on the Western street set, which sadly burnt to the ground in the sands fire. A fun fact: The 'Kahiki Palms Motel', where Banjo & Sullivan find themselves at the mercy of Otis and his crazy family, is Club Ed, 42848 150th Street East on the southeast corner of Avenue L in Lancaster, about 70 miles north of Los Angeles. A cool spot to take a drive if you're up for it. Other shows filmed here were "The A-Team," "24" wonder woman, Bionic woman, The green mile, parts of forest Gump, no country for old men, and the 1993 movie "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" to name a few. There's a rich history of movie, TV, and music video's that have been filmed here. There has been plenty of musicians that have graced this ranch and filmed their videos like: Michael Jackson, Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, Korn, Seether, Evanescence, Within Temptation, Taylor Swift, Sia, Creed, U2, Tupac and Dr Dre, Willie Nelson, and the Doors to name a few. This place has creative spirituality flowing through it. 5 Stars***** all day. read more
