I know this thread is for your images, but I wanted to share my photo from a 2013 to California's Bronson Canyon, home of Eegah, Robot Monster and many others: Too Bad you didn't have a "Billion Bubble Machine" to pose with.

The current owners can't be having too much fun with that apartment building two feet away, blotting out the sun, and tenants looking down into the backyard.

It would be hard for Gramps to get some sleep on the couch now. Glad (and maybe a little sad) to see this as TFOS is in my top ten.
EDIT: I just checked Google street view and am amazed this building is still there considering it's surrounded by apartment/condo units. How did this get spared? Did someone know of it's historical importance???

MST3K Locations #12 - Zombie Nightmare MST3K Locations 12 - Zombie Nightmare 1 by Loran Alan Davis, on Flickr The Twist Et Crème dessert shop in Montreal, Canada as seen in the 1986 film Zombie Nightmare (episode 604), and as it appears today. The building looks abandoned, but it isn’t. Friends in Montreal assure me the establishment is still in operation – but only during the summer. I think we finally found a location that hasn't changed at all over the years!

Hope I'm not stealing your thunder, as I hope you've found more information than I have, but for Skydivers, I found this webpage concerning the airport where a vast majority of the outdoor scenes were filmed: www.airfields-freeman.com/CA/Airfields_CA_PalmdaleS.htm#quartzhillGo about 1/8th of the way down to page to "Quartz Hill Airport, Quartz Hill, CA". Also, wasn't the cave from Robot Monster the same cave used in Eegah? I suspect it might have been used in one or two of Corman's films as well. (Whoops, I see Eegah was mentioned, but only a Robot Monster pic was used) Anyway, where did you find your general information on Coleman Francis' filming locations? It's not easy finding any sort of information on those films or the people who made them, so I'm impressed and wondering where such information exists. Also, for another two-fer, I believe the scene where the woman is chased by the police officer in Hellcats, where she falls off her bike and dies, the shot where the police officer (who was also in Skydivers and Beast of Yucca Flats!) is sliding down the hill is the same spot where George Nader and another police officer initially go to investigate the death of Dr. Munson in Human Duplicators.

here is a good filming location, Best Brains Studio and the sylvan glen from Prince of Space. I google mapped BBI. It still looks deserted. The Sylvan Glen is like right across the street.

It would be interesting to actually ask the people who own these businesses and ask if they're aware that they work at the site where a movie was filmed.

MST3K Locations #9 - The Starfighters
MST3K Locations 9 - The Starfighters 1 by Loran Alan Davis, on Flickr The entrance to George Air Force Base near Victorville CA as seen in the 1964 film The Starfighters (episode 612). The bottom photo shows the base entrance today – gates always open, and the guard shack unmanned. The base was closed in 1992. Many private businesses still operate around the former base (including the airfield), but much of the property is now a desolate wasteland – the former military buildings and base housing razed or still standing as abandoned ruins. If you’re interested, there are numerous tour videos on YouTube showcasing the eerie and desolate remains of the base. Suddenly, I'm getting a real "Twelve O'clock High" vibe. I can just see Bob Dornan walking around the abandoned base, remembering the carefree days of dropping bouncing bombs on the empty desert, and trying out the new Poopie Suits.

MST3K Locations #19 - Village of the Giants MST3K Locations 19 - Village of the Giants 1 by Loran Alan Davis, on Flickr Two shots from the sequence where the town's kids attempt to tie the legs of giant Beau Bridges as seen in the 1965 film Village of the Giants (episode 523). These scenes were shot at the old Columbia Pictures Ranch in Burbank CA, now the Warner Brothers Ranch.
Recognize the homes in the background? The facade in the top photo was the home of Samantha and Darren in Bewitched, and the one in the bottom photo was the home of Jeannie and Major Nelson in I Dream of Jeannie.
The "homes" are still there today (small inset photos), and the "Jeannie" home has since been enclosed and serves as the Ranch Office.
So, Jeannie and Sam lived in the same neighborhood? I'm sure somebody will be writing up some fan fiction based on that idea.

Not only that, it got blown up in an episode of Home Improvement, and the actor who played Abner, the long suffering husband of nosy neighbor Edna Kravitz had a cameo. Only clip I could find.
