Great idea! I will be following with much interest. Personally, I would love to stay at the motel where Eegah met his end (maybe there's a plaque?)

I actually want to know what happened to the ice cream shop in Zombie Nightmare. I heard it's gone.

There are yelp reviews for that place but maybe it changed locations since the 80s www.yelp.com/biz/twist-et-creme-pierrefondsI actually do find this topic interesting so if you got more please show them.

I've been to the Seattle Science Center where the short "Century 21 Calling" was filmed.
The place today looks *nothing* like it does in the short. In fact, i think the only area that's remained largely unchanged is the fountain area seen near the end (in the years since they've added some statues).
And, of course there's the space needle ("The only bathroom in the fair is up there.")

Have you visited the community college where Parts The Clonus Horror was filmed? I almost had to take classes there back in the 80's before the requirements for my degree got re-shuffled. There's a fellow on youtube who has made some amazing "then and now" videos of film locations and apparently not run afoul of the copyright police. www.youtube.com/user/HerveAttia/videos

I actually want to know what happened to the ice cream shop in Zombie Nightmare. I heard it's gone. It's still there. I've already completed that one and will post soon. In my "now" photo, the place looks abandoned, but friends who live in the area say it is still in operation - but only in the Spring and Summer. What, they can't eat indoors?

View AttachmentMST3K Locations #2 The Santa Cota Market as seen in the 1971 film The Touch of Satan (episode #908). The market is still in operation today and is located in Santa Ynez, California. Do they still sell CARNATION ICE CREAM ?

I just did a side-by-side comparison of the fountain area from the "Seattle Science Center" featured in the short "Century 21 Calling". On the left, the way it looks in the short film, and on the right how it looks today. Apart from the dinosaur statues, a few walkways were added.

Radar Secret Service would be fun. Already working on it. And I have completed two locations from the short Last Clear Chance (why don't they look) featured in that episode. (Yes, my friends...I'm doing the shorts, too!) Fun fact: as an Idaho resident I have driven through these locations many, many times. That's one of the reasons I love the Union Pacific shorts. I can look at them and say "Hey! I've been there!" That's something that doesn't happen often with me.

(Yes, my friends...I'm doing the shorts, too!) i can tell you all right now, that is not Washington DC (could be a few places around the area, mainly the mountain area's, but that is it).

That's too bad. That was a pretty spooky house on it's own, and gave the movie what atmosphere it had.
I found the "Haunted House" from Girl In Gold Boots on google street view once, but the building is very different now. (If it's the same building at all.) Not sure what it is today. I also looked for the beach house from Agent For H.A.R.M, and it looks pretty much like it did in the 60's.
