My fiancee and I were in the neighborhood this past Saturday, and we happened to stop by Green-Wood Cemetery. That gatehouse you see up above caught our attention. It was beautiful and peaceful – everything a cemetery should be, instead of everything that horror writers like myself always turn them into. We’re planning to go back sometime, to get more and better pictures. And I’m almost certain to set a future story there.
(Still and all, we might have been better off if we hadn’t watch all four Phantasm flicks before we went to visit this place…)
Wasn’t that used as a setting in “US Marshalls”?
Maybe? I’ve never seen it. The Wikipedia page mentions the “Queens Hills Cemetery”, but when I search that name, I only get the Cypress Hills Cemetery, which is on the border between Brooklyn and Queens.
As sequels go, it’s pretty good. Worth a watch – and then you can confirm if the big shootout at the cemetery is at Greenwood.
I just might do that. But first, I’ll probably have to visit Green-Wood again, just so I can be sure I have a pretty good image of the place in my mind.
