Deckard takes this tunnel under downtown Los Angeles on his way home.

Apparently, every car commercial ever has been filmed here as well. You've seen this tunnel a million times and you just don't know it.

nancy thompson’s house

from a nightmare on elm street posted in movies by pete_nice

Nancy Thompson fights off Freddy Krueger's glove of knives at this location in the original A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984).

The house was in disrepair until 2006, when it was renovated. Today, the exterior is very similar to the original film, except now the door is blood red instead of blue. Nice touch...
