      +Joe Mamma I agree. Adam has included reference clips in the past but being on the road the way he is he may not have been able to do it for this particular video. Personally I don't know how he manages to edit all his regular videos because if I were touring the country in a van it would be really tough for me to take the time to sit for hours editing clips, locating reference video to insert at just the right place, and putting together all the content he does :)

    Oh man...this movie. You have no idea how emotionally attached to this movie I am. The dad in this movie is 100% my dad. This made a HUGE impact on my & my sisters when it first came out,we were blown away. My dad has been telling wild tall tales since we were kids. We all agreed when my dad dies were going to gather together and watch this movie in his honor

      The people in the area and the owner of the property wanted it to be left to turn it into a tourist attraction and it still is but due to lack of visitors it had fallen to decay. Nothing really there anymore but the owner still maintains the property and you're still allowed to visit with permission.

      @kristienelson2989 6 лет назад

      My husband and I are actually living in our motor home here (until we can find some land to build on)
      I can look to my left and see Jackson Lake and if I look to my right..... what's left of spectre...... there are 24 goats out here on the island. Fun place to visit. Very popular for photo shoots. Only 3 bucks to enter and it's very well kept! The owners are amazing! If you will go like the FB page "Jackson Lake Island" you can see the new baby goat pics! As well as anything else Spectre related.

    Wow! I didn't know that was a real town specifically built for filming the movie, that's pretty crazy. Wonder how much that all cost. But it's also really weird to see an incomplete faux town that was never meant to be a real town just sitting to rot like an actual abandoned town. It's art imitating life I guess.

    The Movie was shot in Wetumpka AL. The big white house the boys father lived in is a private resident still there today. The scene where the giant and boy are walking out of town is modern day downtown Wetumpka. The Spectra town is kept up the town of Millbrook just out side of Montgomery Al.They charge admission It cost $2.00 to visit the set.

    In Lafayette Louisianan where I live, theres this coolie system in the neighborhood that leads to this group of tunnels that you can only go so far into and then they get too small. But its called The Tunnel of Hell. Its even got that painted up above the entrance and has been that way since was before I was born which was 1975. When you go inside there you see people tagging the place since the 60s and 70s and apparently Sharks were scary back then because it says beware of sharks.
