Description

This is a movie set in Lancaster CA that I stumbled upon while making flower deliveries. I was actually allowed inside to shoot and have spent several days there photographing it and the hotel and gas station.It was built to film Eye of the Storm, Torque and lots of movies, music videos,etc. This is the location where the new Rob Zombie film "The Devil's Rejects" was filmed...:-)
