Filmed in a real haunted location...


Man! This is freaky!

A cousin of mine has been a special effects man for a long time. He came back to town to visit his parents, who live near me. I haven't seen him since I was in high school (back in the 1980's). He gets sub-contracted out to various production companies to set up special effects (mainly pyrotechnics) and winds up traveling all over the world.

Since I haven't seen him in years, I went over to visit him. While there, we talked about some of the movies he's been working on. He told me that he worked on Headless Horseman. He said that some of the gags he worked on (nothing with fire though) were filmed in a REAL HAUNTED location - a junk yard where an employee got CRUSHED TO DEATH years ago! IS that FREAKY or what? He told me that he and some other crew members saw ghost lights at night and that car windows even exploded on set.

He said he almost got fired because they thought that he or some of the other special effects crew was doing this stuff and that they had to show their foreman that there wasn’t any special equipment attached to the cars that the windows exploded in.

He said that a local priest was brought in to say prayers and perform blessings; and that after that, nothing freaky happened. He said he was glad to get back to the good old U.S. after that.

That’s all that he told me about this movie, but it sure was interesting and he seemed genuinely freaked out when he was describing it all to me.
