I spent a good part of today in Salem, Oregon, location scouting at the Fairview Training Center, originally known as the Center for the Feeble Minded.
The place is a gathering of many buildings in an area the size of a small village. All the buildings are condemned, but we were able to get inside (with permission) by going through tunnels that span the entire facility (more than 50 miles of tunnels).
Through this, we ended up in an abandoned children's hospital. Very Silent-Hill decor, especially one mural which depicted children running around with balloons.
All the children's eyes had been scratched out.
In any case, we will be filming on location. Our footage will be the last footage of Fairview before the place is torn down.

Sounds awesome and disturbing at the same time! This was a real location? Put a still up of that mural if you can!

Sounds like a brilliant location for horror-type shenanigans!

Call the guys from Ghosthunters so that they can make a show there! ;D We actually know the people from Ghosthunters and might do that. I don't know if it will fly though: two months ago one of the buildings was burnt down by an impromptu (and illegal) seance that two trespassers decided to hold. |

The children's eyes scratched out? Jesus, it sounds so terribly... how... I mean how is that possible? It's just so sad.  |

Yeah, that's what I find disturbing about the description: what could have been going on in the heads of whoever did that. Yeck.

I read yesterday that a former Russian spy killed himself and his family by jumping out a window from its 15th-floor appartment in the UK. One of the reasons why he did that (and that the rest of his family followed him) was that he thought that the Canadian government wanted to kill him. He also mentionned that Canadian PM Stephen Harper wanted to kill the Queen. |

Talk of Canadians and insanity makes me think of Chris Benoit. That was a bizarre and tragic incident.

Talk of Canadians and insanity makes me think of Chris Benoit. That was a bizarre and tragic incident. The most probable theory is that his brain was so damaged by concussions and other injuries suffered during his wrestling career that he was demented at the time of the crime. That and probably the fact that he used steroids a lot... |
