It was a very short drive from Casa Walsh and was close to Eaton Canyon where I was hiking later that day. Brandon and Brenda Walsh did not actually live in the zip code or Beverly Hills. Parking to take a photo at this particular home was not as easy as some of the others. The street is not very wide so you cannot pull off to the side very easily. Just be sure to watch out for the oncoming traffic and you’ll be fine. In one widely covered incident, she used some overgrown vines to pull herself out of her exhibit.
The film was a box office success
It culminates in the Deathmobile ramming the reviewing stand, tossing Marmalard, Wormer, DePasto and their wives into the air.
The film’s soundtrack features classic hits
In a stroke of genius, the Titans administration decided to celebrate Groundhog Day rather than Valentine's Day. Over time, the Groundhog Day party evolved into the famous TOGA banquet and concert it is today. The members and their dates dress up in their togas and attend a dinner where superlatives are distributed and other activities occur. Out of every club on campus, TOGA sells more tickets and draws more of a crowd than any other club-organized event. It is filled with fascinating details and a tour is well worth your time. I recommend visiting The Gamble House to admire the architecture and history as much as I recommend visiting it as a filming location.

'ANIMAL HOUSE': REVISED DOCUMENTARY TELLS STORY OF PEOPLE BEHIND THE FILM.

The homecoming parade is one of the best scenes in Animal House and cuts through the city’s Main Street. The scenes of the parade showcase multiple downtown Cottage Grove buildings and streets. The journey is rounded off with passing by Lane County, where the famous homecoming parade scenes were filmed. This creates an almost palpable echo of the chaos and humor that ensued among the characters. Several of the actors who were cast as college students, including Thomas Hulce, Karen Allen, and Kevin Bacon, were just beginning their film careers.
However, I think one of the homes that looks the most different is the house from Pee Wee’s Big Adventure. Over the years the color of the house has changed several times, the white picket fence is gone, but the unique shape is still recognizable. The House from Pee Wee’s Big Adventure is located at 1848 Oxley Street in South Pasadena. [31] It was one of the first zoos to successfully breed echidnas and gave birth to the first Coquerel's sifaka outside of Madagascar, the sifaka's native homeland. The Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens is a 133-acre (54 ha) zoo founded in 1966 and located in Los Angeles, California, United States.
Los Angeles County, California
In Eugene, Oregon, West University was also used as a film set for the Animal House movie. The buildings utilized were Gerlinger Hall, the Teaching & Learning Center, and Phi Kappa Psi House. Each of these Animal House filming locations provided a unique setting for the 1978 John Landis college coming of age film.
The men were told to get haircuts so they would look the part of college students in 1962. The actors got haircuts at a local barbershop, after a Hollywood stylist proved inadequate. National Lampoon's Animal House is a 1978 American comedy film directed by John Landis and written by Harold Ramis, Douglas Kenney and Chris Miller. It stars John Belushi, Tim Matheson, John Vernon, Verna Bloom, Thomas Hulce and Donald Sutherland. The film is about a trouble-making fraternity whose members challenge the authority of the dean of the fictional Faber College.
Sally Field won an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her role in the show. The fence is also new since The Brady Bunch was filmed, added when the owner grew frustrated with rude people walking up and peering into her living room. The house made its debut in the second episode of The Brady Bunch and appeared in almost every one of the 115 episodes that ensued. The Brady Bunch house is located at Dilling Street in North Hollywood. The House where they filmed the basketball scenes is located at 500 North Almansor Road in Alhambra.
The Quadrangle’s Gerlinger Hall, once dramatized as Emily Dickinson Hall, marks a spot where the Delta boys embarked on their infamous road trip. Suddenly, everyone wanted to throw a Toga Party, a concept that shot to popularity after John “Bluto” Blutarsky, played by John Belushi, donned a bedsheet. The Memorial Quad and surrounding structures, including the Erb Memorial Union and the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, also provided a credible college atmosphere. The Sigma Nu fraternity, 763 East 11th Avenue became the ‘Tri Pi Sorority House’, though the rear, where Bluto (John Belushi) climbs the ladder to peek in on the coeds, uses a different location. Now belonging to the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, it still stands today but, unfortunately if not surprisingly, its ramshackle neighbour, 751 home to the drunken, libidinous ‘Delta’ fraternity was demolished in 1986. The first, Animal House, with John Landis at the helm, does capture the gleeful anarchy of the time.
Animal House revolutionized the comedy genre by combining satire, slapstick, and outrageous humor with social commentary. The spirit and energy of Animal House continue to inspire college fraternities and their traditions to this day. The soundtrack of Animal House includes classic hits from the 1960s, adding to the nostalgic atmosphere of the film.
For shooting purposes, the production team of ‘National Lampoon’s Animal House’ also traveled to Los Angeles County, the most populous county in the country. As per reports, they utilized the facilities of Universal Studios Lot at 100 Universal City Plaza in Universal City, an unincorporated area located within the San Fernando Valley. The film studio is home to over 30 sound stages spread across over 400 acres, production offices, dressing rooms, rehearsal halls, and a massive backlot area. All these amenities make it a suitable shooting site for different projects. A few essential portions of the comedy movie were also recorded in and around the DePasto house at 2160 Potter Street in Eugene. The University of Oregon stood in for the fictional Faber College as the team utilized the campus to the best of their abilities.
I have toured the house for free on two different occasions which you can read about here. In the scenes taking place in 1985, the mansion no longer exists and Doc lives in his garage/laboratory which in real life is the carriage house turned giftshop. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood was filmed all over the LA area so I have been trying to visit as many filming locations from the movie as I can. Brad Pitt’s character lived in a trailer behind the Van Nuys drive-in theatre, which was actually filmed at the Paramount drive-in since the Van Nuys location no longer exists. Just like the scene where Otter is beaten up, the homecoming parade during the movie’s finale was also filmed in Cottage Grove, Oregon.
Many of the magazine's writers were recent college graduates, hence its appeal to students all over the country. Doug Kenney was a Lampoon writer and the magazine's first editor-in-chief. They made their debut in 1973's National Lampoon's High School Yearbook, a satire of a Middle America 1964 high school yearbook. Kroger's and Pepperidge's characters in the yearbook were effectively the same as their characters in the movie, whereas Vernon Wormer was a P.E. Both the classroom and the fraternity council scenes were filmed inside Fenton Hall. Built in 1906 as the university’s first library, since 1936 this building has housed various classrooms, resource spaces and academic offices.

According to the Los Angeles Times, this house was newly built but the owner hadn't yet moved into it because of construction on the Ventura Freeway, which now runs behind it. If you're a real fan, you may notice that this home looks shorter than the one in The Brady Bunch shows. Set designers attached fake windows on the roof to give the appearance of a second story. Whether you are local to Los Angeles or are planning to visit this blog has been created with you in mind.
At the market, Pinto meets a young cashier named Clorette and invites her to the party, while Otter flirts with an older woman, who turns out to be Wormer's alcoholic wife, Marion. During the toga party, at which Otis Day and the Knights perform, Otter seduces Marion, while Pinto and Clorette make out until she passes out, drunk. Pinto resists the temptation to rape her and instead takes her home in a shopping cart. He later discovers that she is the 13-year-old daughter of Carmine DePasto, the town mayor.
