PITTSBURGH MADE: Slaughter Drive (2017)
Doug Stevenson (director, writer and star Ben Dietels, who is also one of the hosts of Neon Brainiacs) feels like a failure but wants to keep filming and trying to make something that people want to see. He accidentally leaves his video camera in a park overnight and films an actual murder, which is probably […]
PITTSBURGH MADE: Diary of the Dead (2007)
While filming a horror movie about a mummy in a forest, some University of Pittsburgh — yet this was shot in Toronto — students and their professor learn from the news — with the soundtrack taken directly from Night of the Living Dead — that recently dead are awaking and walking. The fifth film in Romero’s […]
PITTSBURGH MADE: Lightning Over Braddock: A Rustbowl Fantasy (1988)
Braddock has been in the news a lot lately, being the adopted home of John Fetterman. Yet for years, Tony Buba has been there, making documentaries about the former steeltown where he was born and continued to live, all while working in movies, doing sound for George Romero films and showing up with his brother […]
PITTSBURGH MADE: Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (2015)
Writer Jesse Andrews was born in Pittsburgh and his family home in Point Breeze was used as lead character Greg’s (Thomas Mann) house in the film, while Rachel’s (Olivia Cooke) house is in Squirrel Hill and Earl’s (RJ Cyler) house is in Braddock. This film actually gives a pretty good tour of the city, as […]
DISMEMBERCEMBER: Scream Queens’ Naked Christmas (1996)
Available as an extra on the new Terror Vision blu ray of Santa Claws, Scream Queens’ Naked Christmas is such an oddity in our overly saturated by pornography world of 2022. It’s dirty, kind of, but not really in any way as much as it’s women taking their clothes off which seems perfectly chaste today. It ends up […]
PITTSBURGH MADE: 6 Souls (2010)
Swedish directors Måns Mårlind and Björn Stein also directed Underworld: Awakening, but today we’re here to discuss this Pittsburgh-shot movie that is packed with City of Bridges locations such as downtown Pittsburgh, the Fort Pitt Tunnel, East Liberty Presbyterian Church, the Community College of Allegheny County, the now-closed Spin Bartini and Ultra Lounge in Shadyside, the […]
PITTSBURGH MADE: Stigmata (1999)
Sure, this is set in Pittsburgh, but mainly it was shot in Vancouver and Los Angeles, with Pittsburgh only being used for some establishing shots. Let me tell you, there’s no goth clubs like thee one where Frankie Paige (Patricia Arquette) has a freakout and imagines wearing a crown of thorns. I mean, we had […]
