The Capers Return

Port Perry became Hemlock Grove

This is about a month old, but I have a bunch of neat pics from when the Hemlock Grove crew came to town and transformed Port Perry's Queen St.


Stars of the show 
While Famke Janssen and Lili Taylor weren't around (as far as I could see), we spotted a few of the stars, including Bill Skarsgard.


And we were always happy to watch Terra Nova while it was on. Instead of being busy filming any new episodes of that, Landon Liboiron was filming for Hemlock Grove.


I'm not really sure who this is. I'm only guess it could be "Penelope Mitchell";

Downtown was transformed, and the familiar locations were refaced, including our local CIBC;


 The Home Hardware was transformed into Easter Valley hardware.

The Hardware Feed is really Port Perry's Car Quest Auto Parts;


 Downtown's Post Office of course had to be fixed to look like a US Post Office;


 The ReMax office was turned into a simple realtor.


Palmer Park was fixed up to fit the town's new nom de plume.

  The buildings were fixed up, too. This was really well done - looked genuine.




Local celebrities 
A local celebrity survived the casting couch and will be in the show, as far as we can tell. The White Feather Farms and Country Store's chicken truck took a trip down main street during filming. 

Production crew
Here are a few random shots of the set and production crew.

 




Sullivan on set - his first taste of show biz.

Ages since a Tomb of the Undead update here

Since I haven't posted an update in ages about the Tomb of the Undead, here's a link to Four if by Sea.
It's a good long post, too, so it should be worth your trip to the site to check it out.

The aftermath from Mugabe's sabotage takes its toll in Four if by sea.
 I hope you like it!

Just shorter, thanks | King Street Capers


Honestly, when I got my hair cut by this guy, he simply stared blankly at me, with no recognition in his eyes. That should have been my sign right then and there to cut my losses, take the apron off, and get out of the chair. That haircut was going nowhere good.

So here's my question to you: what could the barber do to make you get up and leave the shop before he's started to cut your hair?

Shave and a haircut


I can't vouch for the accuracy of the magazine subscriptions available - you're probably best to not show up expecting to find those particular issues.

New King Street Capers

Mr. Minestrone will jump out of god-damned nowhere with a smoke in his hands. I've had to literally dodge to the left to avoid him.
