Green Chair

Max i dont think they are refering to any specific part of the movie i think they are just referencing it for its creepy old asylum setting and Death Tunnel was much better considering it was based on an actual place which was Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Louisville,Kentucky

Seclusion Room #3

todd

in response to your comment Psych Nurse i think if the patient is coherient enough to comply it should be their choice me being an insomniac would honestly love isolation because maybe then i would get some sleep i also suffer from clinical depression and mild psychosis

Seclusion Room

reminds me of "welcome home (sanitarium)" by Metallica

Welcome to where time stands still
no one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
just labeled mentally deranged
Dream the same thing every night
I see our freedom in my sight
No locked doors, No windows barred
No things to make my brain seem scarred

Sleep my friend and you will see
that dream is my reality
They keep me locked up in this cage
can't they see it's why my brain says Rage

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone

Build my fear of what's out there
and cannot breathe the open air
Whisper things into my brain
assuring me that I'm insane
They think our heads are in their hands
but violent use brings violent plans
Keep him tied, it makes him well
he's getting better, can't you tell?

No more can they keep us in
Listen, damn it, we will win
They see it right, they see it well
but they think this saves us from our hell

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone
Sanitarium, just leave me alone

Fear of living on
natives getting restless now
Mutiny in the air
got some death to do
Mirror stares back hard
Kill, it's such a friendly word
seems the only way
for reaching out again

Leaves

i have no clue about this place but i do know that their were two amusement parks in my town that were closed and demolished a long time before i was even thought of but it is wonderful to see the old pictures of the families in happier times i wish i could have gone to them now their is not even a marker where they once stood it seems everything with any historical signifigance? sp in my town has been torn down to build parking lots and as an avid history buff it saddens me i wish i could have seen the places i read about because we had the largest industrial complex of its kind outside of Krup, Germany which was destroyed by fire in 1909

Looking From a Balcony

Todd

Thanks jimzep79, Townsend Rd...I was trying to think of that street. Are any of those old buildings still there? I grew up in Rambler Park and we used to goof off and play around in those old buildings. That was over 20 years ago. niceriboy@aol.com

Tunnel

Todd

I grew up in that area (Rambler Park) and as kids we used to go all through those buildings. There was another older set of buildings not on Southhampton Rd but off Southhampton closer to Thornton. I believe that all of those buildings have already been demolished, but I may be wrong. It was at least 20 years ago and back then I thought those buildings were unsafe...that kind of added to the excitement.
