IIRC it was backwoods Tennessee, and burned down somewhat recently.

Yeah, if by 'recent' you mean twenty+ years ago.  :P

It apparently burned down shortly after the first flick was filmed.  Though maybe it was after the second; it's been a while since I read If Chins Could Kill, so my memory's a bit fuzzy.

Anywho - it's your turn now, nectarsis.

IIRC it was claimed that it burned down "mysteriously" after the first movie.  I have also found claims that it was visited by gawkers, and was considered a nuisance so YEARS latter it happened to have an "accident".  No clue which is true anymore.

Does that house have a precariously cantilevered Ferrari garage, perchance?

Not that it matters, but I recall Bruce "the man" Campbell writing that it had burned down after the first (or possibly second) movie; consequently, they had to recycle footage from the first film that they had planned on re-shooting when they made the sequel.  Who knows the real story, but I like to think that the forest decided to force the cabin to JOIN US.  :twisted:

 :clap: :clap: :clap: both on the guess and the post.  Still by far a fav series of movies for me.

Is that actually in the Chicago area?  It's a pretty cool looking house and garage, though that storm door looks less high end and more $50 special at Menards.  :|

Someone else can have my turn if they have a good one in mind.
