Where was Idle Hands filmed
Idle Hands
Year: 1999
Genre: Comedy, Fantasy, Horror, Thriller
Country: USA
<p>Released in 1999, the movie about a killer hand became a cult favorite among fans of the unusual genre thanks to its successful combination of teen horror and comedy. The main shooting took place in Pasadena - a picturesque city with cozy residential neighborhoods. Most of the scenes were filmed at the intersection of Madison Avenue and Jackson Street. The main character Anton's house was on the corner, and the other characters' homes were literally next door: Molly's house was across the street, and Randy's was a couple of blocks away. Interestingly, Pasadena has a rich history in the realm of movies, as this is where the original 1978 Halloween movie was filmed. Also one of the movie's iconic locations was the Burger Jungle restaurant located at 14900 Hawthorne Boulevard in Lawndale, California.</p>
