HALLOWEEN HOUSE
I
t’s no secret that Pasadena and its surrounding area are home to a myriad of recognizable film sites, from beloved feel-good flicks like “Father of the Bride” to the sci-fi classic “Back to the Future” and many, many more. In keeping with the spooky season of Halloween, we’d be remiss if we left out the infamous Myers residence from director John Carpenter’s horror-slasher flick, aptly titled “Halloween.” The movie may take place in Haddonfield, Illinois, but the real movie magic took place much closer to home in South Pasadena. For those wanting a safe, socially distant way to get in October’s fright night spirit, drive by 1000 Mission St., South Pasadena to see the house in all its gory...er, glory.
