    stock, for now
    There was only one that I know of, Amityville Horror..It was actually filmed in a house my parents were looking to buy, but decided not to. Who ever owns the house, actually moved it from its original location, a lot or two over, where it currently resides about two blocks from my house.

    Both the transformers movies were filmed at Holloman AFB while i was there, well the sandy parts of the movies. It was sweet got to watch the pyro's and saw the mustang from the first movie in the hobby shop while i was putting on my Toytec :cool: "bumblebee" was under a car cover and there was a guy sitting in a chair between both haha. I talked to the guy and Chevy said noone was supposed to see the Camaro concept or some shit... but when they drove it out to the set on a flatbed, it was uncovered.

    Also, the hills have eyes was filmed there.

    Phenomenon is incorrect. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenomenon_(film)

    I know that because I know it was filmed here. Big things like that leave a mark on a small town. Also filmed in Cool, CA (where I used to live)

    To many to mention. They are always filming here where I live. If you ever come to SoCal and see bright yellow signs with black lettering and an arrow @ the bottom,(usually on a telephone pole)follow that sign. You will eventually come upon something in production.
