Universal Studios/Walk of Fame Pics
so here is my post of universal and the hollywood walk of fame
first i have to credit all my info of movies and stuff to http://www.theatrecrafts.com/studiotour/ush/index.html
it is a terrific website with a lot more pictures and history than i have...i didn't feel like uploading their pics.
okay so here are the pics i'm too lazy to scale them down, so you get to see them huge via the link...if you are a random person, you may use my pictures just PLEASE DO NOT HOTLINK!!!!!
Universal Studios!
I read somewhere that this is some of the Universal and some of the WB studios...but I'm not positive
The 2 main studios
Whoville!
Not really a studio at all, it is a little attraction to liven up the tram tour...A simulated 8.3 Richter scale Earthquake. I'm not gonna say any more of what happens in case any of you go there
Courthouse Square
A large town square named after the imposing Courthouse building most famously seen in Back to the Future (1985-1990). The square has been seen in hundreds of Universal films (and those of other studios).
Prior to Back to the Future, the area was known as Mockingbird Square, after it's appearance in To Kill a Mockingbird.

On Screen:
• To Kill A Mockingbird
• Back to the Future trilogy
• Gremlins (as Kingston Falls)
• The Nutty Professor
• Bruce Almighty
• The Ghost Whisperer (TV)
The Court of Miracles
Named after The Miracle Man (1919, starring Lon Chaney) this historic corner of the backlot has been visited by most of the classic Universal horror monsters, including Dracula (Bela Lugosi), the Wolfman (Lon Chaney Jr.) and the Hunchback of Notre Dame (Lon Chaney Sr.). Frankenstein's Monster made his first appearance here in 1931.
The movable fibreglass fountain has been used in many productions including Cloak & Dagger and Murder She Wrote.
On Screen:
• The Miracle Man (1919)
• The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923)
• Frankenstein (1931) - Celebration of the wedding of Henry Frankenstein to Elizabeth
• The Vampire Bat (1933)
• The "Atomic Shakespeare" episode of ABC TV show Moonlighting also shot in the Court of Miracles.
Ya, this is the opening to colonial street, home to one of my favorite shows, Desperate Housewives...of coarse if you read the sign, they were filming...
Please note: Although the tram is usually able to visit Wisteria Lane at the weekends when Desperate Housewives is not filming, this will not be possible until after May 16th - there's either a very visible plot device which can't be revealed, or they're working every weekend.
I went here on Easter, so ya, it still wasn't open :(
Also filmed down that amazing street grrrrrr makes me mad:
• So Goes My Love (1946)
• Harvey (1950)
• Leave it to Beaver

• The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982)
• Gremlins (1984)
• The 'Burbs (1989)
• Psycho (1998)
• House of 1000 Corpses (2000)
• Providence
