come walk in the footsteps of your
favorite movie characters maybe instead
of your gentlemen welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 movie sets
you can still visit great you build a
baseball field in the middle of nowhere
and you sit here and you stare at
nothing not nothing for this list we’re
taking a look at those movie sets that
are still accessible or at least visible
to the general public now let’s start
planning our travel itinerary well I’ll
see you in the morning I’ll bring you
some breakfast alright what time very
early number 10 the Overlook Hotel The
Shining here’s Johnny looking to escape
the pressures of city life shake off the
monotony and stress of the daily grind
pack the family in the car and come to
the Overlook Hotel for some
well-deserved rest and relaxation I
guess you could say the Overlook Hotel
it has something about its like shine
who knows maybe you’ll finally get
around to finishing that novel what’s
the worst that could happen
well okay the Overlook Hotel as written
by Stephen King doesn’t actually exist
but you can live out a horror fantasy of
your very own at the Timberline Lodge in
Mount Hood Oregon where they filmed
exterior and establishing shots for the
film come play with us daddy
and giant labyrinth of terror not
included but they might just have a
large axe that you can play with number
nine the ghostbusters firehouse
headquarters the Ghostbusters franchise
pick up your phone and call the
professionals ghostbusters
ghostbusters may have put this old
firehouse on the map but long before it
served as the headquarters of everyone’s
favorite paranormal exterminators it
housed the brave firemen of Hook and
Ladder Company number eight the
firehouse opened in 1903 and was nearly
decommissioned in 2011 but public outcry
kept it up and running
these guys were some of the first
responders on 9/11 this is a very
historic firehouse and I think that kind
of adds to the iconography of it that
you know ghostbusters live in there
the firehouse situated on the corner of
North Moore and Varrick streets in New
York City was used for all exterior
shots and Ghostbusters and its sequel
what are you talking about buddy the
phone lines are over there what I see
these the phone lines are over there hey
what did I say how many times if you’re
in the neighborhood the firemen are all
too happy to show off the giant
Ghostbusters sign hanging on the wall of
the garage you don’t think it’s too
subtle Marty you don’t think people are
gonna drive down and not see the sign
number eight Xavier school for gifted
youngsters the x-men franchise yeah what
happened to the school schools been shut
for years as Deadpool asked who wants to
visit a place that’s constantly blowing
up
well for die-hard x-men fans it might be
worth the risk because they flock to
Hatley castle in British Columbia Canada
to strike their favourite expose starter
store this castle has served as the
x-mansion in all live-action adaptations
with the exception of x-men first class
and the original x-men film professor
fun fact it actually got its X debut in
the poorly received 1996 made-for-tv
x-men film Generation X welcome to your
new home kids Hatley Castle is not
currently accepting applications from
x-man hopefuls but it is part of Royal
Roads University so technically you can
be a student of Xavier school for gifted
youngsters if you are so inclined it’s a
living breathing building and it is used
all the time for university functions
and also for weddings number seven the
Temple of the Sun Indiana Jones and the
Last Crusade I never expected to see you
again I’m like a bad penny I always turn
some movie sets are so inspiring that we
simply assume they were fabricated in a
film studio using movie magic and while
a temple carved directly into a
sandstone cliff may seem unbelievable it
very much exists
AHA’s ‘no which translates to the
Treasury is one of the most elaborate
surviving temples of the ancient city of
Petra in the Arab Kingdom of Jordan
nothing prepares the visit of what lies
beyond the final Bend
Petra’s most magnificent feature the
cosna admittedly it does not house the
Holy Grail but what it lacks in
Christian relics it more than makes up
for in staggering beauty surreal
architecture and the potential for
serious fanboy freak-outs
while not explicitly forbidden
re-enacting scenes from the film is
frowned upon if ours indeed yo with
inline Elsa don’t cross the seal the
night one is not to take the crown
number six the field of dreams baseball
diamond field of dreams the United
States may be covered in baseball
diamonds but there’s only one field of
dreams all right you’re interrupting the
game mark located in Dubuque County Iowa
near Dyersville it serves as the perfect
meeting place for small-town America’s
historical love of baseball and the
proud American belief in following your
ambitions I didn’t understand what this
is pain what thanks to the Lansing
family who owned the farm on which the
diamond was built the field of dreams
remains well maintained and open to the
public
hi ray Kinsella
so Jackson many events have been hosted
there over the years such as a 2006
Netflix movie night that included a
performance by Kevin Costner’s band and
a huge 25th anniversary celebration in
2014 what does it mean to you to be back
here I get a chance to bring my three
little kids here so it’s a really good
full circle for me that this movie lives
so long number five
Shawshank Prison the Shawshank
Redemption welcome to shush the Ohio
State Reformatory may not have the same
ring to it as Shawshank Prison but if
you’re a fan of one of the greatest
films in American history which you
should be this is a must-visit film set
right ah wait wait wait wait here she
comes
it’s a pot I really like a walking tour
takes you through many of the key
shooting locations the complex is a
necessary pilgrimage for movie buffs and
even musicians shooting music videos if
you are a general fan of prison history
the reformatory has a lot of criminal
history of its own with a supernatural
twist as tourists claim to hear the
ghostly whispers of the 200 inmates who
died there while serving sentences none
of whom were Andy Dufresne looked like a
person
it looked like a the cartoons
silhouettes basically just belong right
around the corner number 4 Tatooine
the Star Wars franchise your highness
with your permission we’re heading for a
remote planet called Tatooine come visit
beautiful Tatooine relive all your
favorite moments such as gazing at the
binary Suns or going to Tashi station to
pick up some power converters okay maybe
those dreams are from a galaxy far far
away
but you can revel in the distinct
characteristics of southern Tunisia as
featured in five of the Star Wars films
what a desolate place this is you can
even sleep in the family home of uncle
Owen and aunt Beru which is a
functioning Hotel tomorrow once you take
that r2 unit to Anchorhead and have its
memory race you’ll need to rent a
reliable vehicle to navigate the terrain
though as land speeders are completely
out of stock
however if Tunisia is out of reach
there’s always the Yavin 4 outpost
location in the Mayan city of Tikal
Guatemala well I’m not going that way
it’s much too lucky number 3 the Bates
Motel psycho there are plenty of motels
in this area you should have I mean just
to be safe
sometimes traveling offworld just
doesn’t fit the budget but even when
times are tough there are always plenty
of affordable accommodation options
available for those seeking rest and
relaxation without breaking the bank
might we suggest the Bates Motel you
have a baker oh we have 12 vacancies 12
cabins 12 vacancies they have
rock-bottom prices personable staff and
every guest is entitled to a
complimentary stabbing
on second thought maybe stick with a
Best Western but you can see the Bates
family home and their motel on the
Universal Studios backlot tour which
lets you see the original set in all its
glory
here we are it’s my house pretty awesome
isn’t it a true horror landmark the set
has been a popular attraction since 1964
however well no need to be nervous you
know famous people are just like
everyone else
number two the Harry Potter studio tour
the Harry Potter franchise let the feast
begin if you’re more into magical
getaways then run down motels and
murderous Mama’s boys then the Warner
Brothers Studio tour in London is
probably a better choice ultimate is
what can we do someone’s coming I’m
sorry economy of oil the Wizarding World
of Harry Potter theme parks in Orlando
might win out in terms of immersive
Wizarding experiences but for true fans
of the film’s the London studio tour is
an absolute must see the iconic Hogwarts
sets and costumes from the Harry Potter
franchise are being preserved and
displayed as part of the Warner Brothers
London studio tour it gives you access
to the actual sets props and shooting
locations used in the hugely successful
film franchise so this is the model
replica of Hogwarts castle that was used
in creating the film it’s about a 50 by
50 foot area few set tours allow
visitors such extensive
behind-the-scenes access taking you
through the entire conception and
production of the Harry Potter film
universe that helped bring the books to
life luckily
come be serious before we unveil our
number one pick here are some honorable
mentions what is this place
the town of Spectre best kept secret in
Alabama that says here you’re from
Ashton right this dock is off-limits to
civilians
I’m terribly sorry I didn’t know if I
see one I shall inform you immediately
come along come along you could still
save yourself let me go and I’ll pardon
you let me go I feel sick the bloody
sink away
number one the Shire the Lord of the
Rings and The Hobbit franchises that I
just get another one in the modern age
of CGI the creation of elaborate set
pieces is somewhat of a dying art the
bigger the imagination of the filmmaker
the more likely it is that the studio
execs are going to request that the
world be created digitally to keep costs
down but every now and then a director
gets to build something truly incredible
and Peter Jackson ran with such an
opportunity this is so realistic it is
crazy
make the trek to visit bag and the home
of the Bagginses as well as the green
dragon pub the mill and the many Hobbit
holes that make up Hobbiton it may have
originated in a fantasy series but in
New Zealand the Shire is very real and
remains so to the delight of tourists
and Hobbit fans alike do you agree with
our list
what film set would you most like to
visit one day along the way we stumbled
across a department store that was empty
in this small city called Gurlitt for
more larger-than-life top 10 is
