which vampire film takes place in the seaside town of santa carla
The Lost Boys The majority of the film was shot in Santa Cruz, California; this includes the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, the Pogonip open space preserve, and the surrounding Santa Cruz Mountains. Originally, the script called for Santa Cruz to be the name of the fictional town where the "lost boys" hunted their prey. However, the aforementioned city's council strongly objected to the town being portrayed as the "murder capital of the world"; so they refused to grant filming permits. It was for this reason the producers introduced the fictional town of "Santa Carla". Unbeknown at the time, was the fact that Santa Cruz's true crime history is what attracted the producers to the beach town in the first place. In the late 1970s, Santa Cruz gained an unpopular reputation as "Murdersville, USA" and as being "the Murder Capital of the World" after three infamous serial killers (Kemper, Mullin, and Carpenter) were found to have hunted victims in the area.[4]
Vampire (roller coaster) Vampire (originally named The Vampire) is an Arrow suspended swinging roller coaster at Chessington World of Adventures Resort theme park in London, England. It opened in 1990 in the new Transylvania area (now renamed "Wild Woods").[1] The trains hang from the track, and swing freely as the roller coaster completes the course. It has two lift hills, featuring many dives and turns throughout. The ride was designed by John Wardley and the theme design by Sparks.[2] During the 2001 season, Vampire was closed so that it could be modified to use new trains, and reopened in 2002.
