Friday the 13th: Part V (Tina & Eddie's Death) Possible Filming Location

*UPDATE*

Turns out this was not the area the scenes were filmed – albeit still off of Mulholland. Please click this link for an updated entry with the verified locations.

A scene from the movie.

All of the water grass has long died from no water. 

Friday the 13th: Part V has been probably one of the hardest locations to find. Just recently we found the location of the house and the cafe, but the areas where Tina and Eddie were killed a well as the trailer park are still elusive.

I wasn't very familiar with the area until recently, and way back in the day (2008?) when I found John Robert Dixon on his employer's site and emailed him he told me that his death scene was shot "off of Mulholland somewhere" and "I think Malibu Creek was the name". 

Lawrence Monoson in Teen Set Magazine

Lawrence Monoson (Teddy) from Friday the 13th: Part IV hasn't shied away from saying some pretty douchey things about his role as Teddy in the movie, calling it many things including low-taste, worse-than-B-movie-quality and a shameful movie.

Above is a great candid photo of Tom Savini during his Vietnam War service. It's from an upcoming documentary on his lift aptly titled Smoke & Mirrors, directed by Jason Baker.

Behind the Scenes: Friday the 13th (1980)

Here's a really hi-res shot of Mark Nelson (Ned) from Friday the 13th (1980) where you can get a good look at his special make-up effects applied by the master Tom Savini. This definitely wasn't Savini's crowning moment in horror, but it is still an iconic moment nonetheless. 

Friday the 13th: Part IV Filming Location - Zaca Lake

I haven't been able to make it to Zaca Lake – the shooting location for some of the lake scenes in Friday the 13th: Part IV – since it's quite far away in Santa Barbara County, so here are some shots of the probable shooting areas of the film.

Looks like Marta Kober is in trouble again!

Marta was picked up in Selma, Oregon for an outstanding warrant – and $4,000 bond – not too long ago. I am trying to find out what the warrant was for, but there's no indication anywhere.

Screen Test With Juliette Cummins

Here's a neat little find; a screen test with actor Marc Copage in an acting workshop the two had taken together. Copage later stated that he used this to prepare for auditions for daytime soap operas.

As always, Juliette looks marvelous.

Friday the 13th: Part V's Carol Locatell in Coffy (1973)

Coffy is a movie directed by Jack Hill in 1973, starring Pam Grier and Sid Haig and filmed in Chatsworth, California. Carol Locatell (Ethel) from Friday the 13th: Part V has a part in the movie as Priscilla and was credited as Carol Lawson.

She does a terrific job in her role in Coffy, and you get to see that Carol was actually a pretty cute woman under all of that dirt and grime of Ethel Hubbard!

@0:53, we get to see a little Ethel Hubbard come out of Priscilla!

Behind the Scenes; Friday the 13th: Part III

Here's a really cool behind the scenes shot of Dana Kimmell (Chris) in Friday the 13th: Part III. The photo looks like it may have been a photo from the alternate ending where she goes to the barn to find everyone dead after what seemed to be a bad dream, only to run back to the cabin to beet Jason face-to-face in the infamous beheading.

I only say this because she is dressed much like the other production photos we have seen.

At any rate, it's always really cool to find these behind the scenes photos.
