Halloween night is tomorrow! The season is almost over! I'm running out of material! I'd better hurry!
Everyone knows that the fictional town of Haddonfield, Illinois is the home of the season's number one killer, Michael Myers, but what some might not know is that the town is influenced by a real life Haddonfield--Haddonfield, New Jersey, childhood home of Halloween producer and co-writer, the late Debra Hill.
It just so happens that I live right by the town; I drive through it all the time. If you were to see it, you would think you stepped right into Haddonfield, Illinois from the film (minus the errant palm tree that creeps into a shot here and there). In fact, you can see for yourself. I took some very brief footage (only a minute's worth) for you to get a glimpse of the real Haddonfield.
Do you think it resembles the movie version? Please let me know in the comments.
Thanks!
Thanks!

It does look like a dead (no pun intended, okay, yes it was intended) ringer for Haddonfield in the movie. Looks like a great town, despite its resident mask-wearing maniac.
Thanks Tom! It really is weird how much the real Haddonfield looks like that small patch of Pasadena the movie was filmed in (or West Hollywood, I've seem multiple sources refer to the area as both those things).
