I posted this information just before the site went down last month - since then it has disappeared. So I'm posting it again in the hope it will be of use to someone.

Hi Tony.

Following your reply to my HHoH post no doubt you'd know I'd be more than interested to read these locations, so thanks ever so for posting them up

I watched 'The Corvini Inheritance' last week and thought the auctions rooms looked familiar and put a mental note to check against the Hampden House interior scenes of 'Charlie Boy' to compare, but you've saved me the job

Would you mind if I added this post to my site ? I'll of course link to your site and britmove and make all relevant credit references ?

Cheers
Neal

Plese use the information, but please credit Mike Murphy of Dark Terrors Magazine for all the work.

I visited all the Distant Scream locations in Cornwall when I was last there on holiday - I seem to remember that the Hotel was being turned into flats.

One of the strangest locations in the series must be "Church of Holly Cross, Borehamwood" in "Childs Play" - they must really have been short of cash to use a church hall instead of a studio!

will do, many thanks.
