- Come with me on a magical learning journey into the history of one of the most famous firehouses in the world: LA's Old 23
CHECK OUT MY GHOSTBUSTERS MOVIE: • The Real Ghostbusters ...
That explains the doors you can sorta see behind the wall in Ghostbusters: The video game. Cool detail!
Bro. Please I need more of the Ecto 1 projet. The 60 to 59 conversion… I’m really interested!!!!!
I know - there just isn’t much to tell yet. I’ve been buying up parts, and it’s been put in a dry place with new wheels.
@@unfinishedstudios.
I'm glad you continuing on with this project.
From helping my Dad build his homebuilt airplane as a kid until my early teens I know it takes time to gather all the items that goes into building something like your second Ghostbusters replica.
Especially as you intend to leave the first one as it is for it to eventually become your little daughter's car.
Then the two of you can go out on Daddy / Daughter tag team parade drives dressed in character.
Amazing video on the history of both houses! Wish there were more historic photos of Hook&Ladder 8 out there, would love to see it entirely when it was double the size before 1914. Personally I think they should turn FS23 into a Ghostbusters museum. It's a shame they got rid of the original lockers, as seen in both films and there since 1910 some years ago...
Ironic. The exterior fire house is in swanky Tribeca. The interior firehouse is on Skid Row. Daylight and dark.
Never thought of that!
I can remember when my family and I went to LA for the 2019 ghostbusters fan fest. That firehouse was the quickest visit of all the film locations we hit while we were there. We just did some drive by photos and then bolted out of that neighborhood.
Btw, how’s your process going on the ‘65 Ecto-1?
Still hurrying to make that Halloween date!
If I won the lottery, I'd ask the city to sell it to me. Fantastic video of the history of this beautiful LA building. Then again, I'd just get the blueprints of this place and build a clone elsewhere.
I believe there will be another Ghostbusters movie. I was downtown Manhattan last summer and the Ghostbusters sign was hanging on Hook and Ladder 8, which is a working firehouse. The sign only hangs when they are filming.
That’s not true. It’s permanent now.
I wish they would have remoldded it to the ghostbusters set so people could go in and feel like they are in the ghostbusters movie
Exactly.
Absolutely astoundingly well done. This contained so much information that I didn’t know about the movie. Thank you for putting this together.
And wishing you good luck on your Ecto conversion!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Skid row is also mentioned in Little Shop Of Horrors, but the location is in New York
every city has or had one.......
They called it skid row cause when they were logging the nearby county in the late 1800s they would roll the logs down the hill into the harbour. That's why they called it skid row.
The reference to driving the ecto one through the front and out the back connecting it to The Real Ghostbusters firehouse playset. Nice.
I've often wondered what would happen if they filmed the movie at that firehouse instead of Hook and ladder 8
Im really enjoying this channel! I work on the Ghostbusters comics, always cool to see others with same passion for franchise! (And that toy biz batwing on ceiling...nice!)
Big fan of your cover work for IDW Ghostbusters. My favorite being the BTTF inspired cover with Egon and Holtzman. Thanks for doing what you do.
Hope it's saved, neat building
I I’m new to the channel and I love the history of it keep up the great work on the channel
Great video, thanks for all this amazing info, I had no idea.
This is very cool to see!
This is the best history video I've seen of this place.
Judging from the end of GB Afterlife... Looks like olde 23 might be resurrected for a Afterlife sequel when we saw Ecto1 roll in and the containment unit active.
Let's hope!
Good stuff bud. Hope to see more.
Awesome
I wouldn't recommend driving anything very heavy into an old horse drawn firehouse like that . The apparatus floor as it is called now in most NYC fire houses, is not designed to handle the weight. I did a fuel tank survey in NYFD houses and the old ones had hundreds of lally columns holding the apparatus floor from falling into the basement .
First time I seen somebody call FDNY NYFD.
For the newest film, they recreated the interior in England,
Interesting stuff! I never knew that!
Ghostbusters & The Mask were filmed here, but this is common to reuse locations like the Western Union office 118 S.Wabash in the film (118 Winston in L.A.) in The Sting which I read had been used in more than 10 films & shows. And also the Universal Backlot, NY streets, Courthouse Square. The Sting, Bye Bye Birdie, Rock a Bye Baby1958, Leave it to beaver1957, City Heat 1984, Back to the Future.
Dan Aykroyd
Well ghostbusters did show Sedgwick having a dark history
I worked on a music video inside the firehouse around 1995. It was rundown but not too bad. Thanks for the great video.
! Qué bueno todo lo que nos cuentas ! Great teacher ! 👍
Osea que hay dos?...0:
Pero este ya lo demolieron 😭🤧
Also, heres what they should do. Clean up the neighborhood, renovate the firehouse and make it a ghostbuster museum with working containment unit in the basement. Everyone gets a chance to put ghosts in or shut the grid off.
Gracias por tu video. A proporcionado mucha información.
Un saludo desde España
Good content...pls do more
liked this deep dive video! any progress on your 1960 ecto?
Haven't done much with it. Working on getting the '64 Ecto-1A done first since it's driveable already.
I went to the gb firehouse in Downtown and they were doing construction to it.
I just drove by a few times. There was never anywhere to park.
I went to thenone in NYC, loved it. Living in los angeles, i've never gone to this one or even the sedgwick location. Just not worth the risk.
Have to wonder if this was used in the Afterlife post-credits scene.
I'm pretty sure it was. I heard they did some additional shooting in LA last summer -- and apparently it was that.
How the firestation is a starbucks
it returned in the new ghostbusters movie
Interesting
It must’ve still been used in Ghosbusters (2016) right? Or they did use a set for it because it got so run down.
Great video as always
Appreciate it! Honestly -- couldn't find anything about it in the history. I'm guessing it was a set. The place was pretty rough in '15 when they would've filmed.
@DEGyStudios Nice! Hope your build is going better than mine. Got about 1,000 other projects going -- so the Wreckto-1 has sort of taken a bake seat. Ecto-1A is close to driving (and we've even maybe gotten a Mystery Machine on our hands!)
We actually got to shoot in the abandoned LA firehouse about 7 years ago with permission from the City of Los Angeles, for a segment we were doing for an old Entertainment web-site/web-series I used to produce called Beyond the Marquee; th-cam.com/video/XtX8bo5Tg4U/w-d-xo.html
Do you live in Fort Mill? I feel like Ive seen this exact ecto driving around.
Athens, GA
Very true.
That is the Real House inside.
👍🎖️🚫👻♥️
Any updates on the Herbie you mentioned last video?
Edit: I mean in the comments btw.
It's going to be a Goes Bananas clone with a faux ragtop. Got part of a video shot for it. Gonna try to get it on the road before I post anything.
I just want to share a really cool Herbie idea I had. There's a Toyata concept car called Yui, which has AI inside it, therefore making it alive. I thought, what if you took that out and put in a Herbie?
@@SeatedTiger Haha, that'd be awesome! Maybe they'll have that perfected one day. The "concept" version might be better suited for a Christine!
@@unfinishedstudios Y e s
any updates on the 1960 ecto?
Haven't done much with it. Working on getting the '64 Ecto-1A done first since it's driveable already.
@@unfinishedstudios oh ok, thanks! I think thats pretty smart
All those coincidences, it’s no wonder they used this fire house in the movie.
i just wanna see a video of them dettaching and attaching parts to the main car and diffrient cars to make the actuall ghostbuster car
You mean firehouse no. 23 in California?
Yup.
F-LA Ghostbusters is a NYC movie !
what i dont get is why didnt they just film ghostbusters the inside at the main ghostbuster building instead of a whole diffrient one that looks like it
The one in NYC is actually active.
I would imagine as it is an active house they wouldn't have been able to take over the building for the duration of filming the interior scenes so a similarly styled disused house was found.
This is a ghostbusters firehouse but not exact because the real one doesn’t have the bay window at the top so this is just a knock off version of the real ghostbusters fire house
