The Silence of the Lambs Location
Findadeath.com friend Jennifer Russell sends us this picture of a bridge used in the film.
The Bellaire footage is an hour and 28 minutes into the movie, when Clarice goes to visit the family of the first victim and discovers what Buffalo Bill is up to. In the movie, it says the location is Belvedere, Ohio, but it is actually Bellaire. Don’t ask me why they changed the names, but I’m assuming that the people in the town did not want the tourism, being that they are a very small community. My opinion is they requested the name to be changed. If you look closely, you will see the spindles at the top of the bridge.
COOL! Thanks Jennifer!
The bridge in Unstoppable is also in Bellaire. The house from the movie just sold again and it is to open as a B&B. Too bad the basement scenes were actually shot in a warehouse. The house is really cool though.
When I was in Los Angles about 15 years ago, I took a tour of the downtown area. We didn’t get to everything, but it was a day of the week that the Max Factor museum wasn’t opened. Apparently according to the tour guide, they have the entire dungeon/prison setup in the basement! He said it was just like the movie, where the elevator opens up and you’re right there, in the set! I was so pissed that I had missed it, but you can’t see everything in 2 weeks. That movie was one of the top 10 most suspenseful movies I’ve ever watched. Fantastic acting by everyone.
