One can only assume he's got the leg lamp in the window this time of year.

I live only an hour south of Cleveland and I will DEFINITELY be making a stop up North to take a tour myself.

If you check out the 6 picture slide show, he's got it up. Looks like he's been making them since 2003.

I think he's set the house up to be permanently like the house in the film, so the leg lamp ain't going anywhere I don't think.

If you do, please get some pictures and post them here. That would be very cool..

If I was around, I'd go ASAP. My girlfriend watches the flick every year and when I showed her this story she wanted to drive up (from atlanta) tomorrow :confused

He may just have the largest Screen Used props known to man. :lol

Thats really great he restored the house. It is great when Fans dont let these things fade away, hopefully he is able to keep onto it for a long time.

Very, VERY Cool.

That is exactly what I am going to do with The Anderson Estate on Oahu.

Eve just does'nt know it yet.

 

[WebChief]

Amazing. I would love to go there.

Oh man that brought a smile to my face. Very cool that he's preserving it as a piece of film-history. :thumbsup :thumbsup

 

[Peralton]

Very cool. I often see a business card for the Red Rider Lamps in my local San Diego Quiznos (where they let people post thier cards and adverts) and always thought it was a great idea. I'm glad he got the house and is restoring it. Even if he wasn't trying to restore it to match the movie, restoring any 100 year old house is a good cause in my book.

Hardly recognize it without snow.

Very cool. I'd love to see it in person. Maybe one day.

The house is only blocks from where I grew up, my mom still lives near there. The whole neighborhood pretty much looks the same with a few faded hints of the film here and there. The corner store last time I was around still had the vintage advertising painted on it from the film, faded but still there.

That is absolutely fantastic.... One of my favorite movies. I am glad to know that I am not the only one who watches (at night sleeps) through the marathon.

I think I'd have to stand on the front porch and yell, just once, "SONS A BITCHHEZZZ,...BUMPASESSS..." :lol

That is too cool..

 

[shortimer52]

Perfect start to an old story.

 

[Jango_Fett_Jr]

Awesome. I love that movie, one of our family favourites for Christmas.

I live a few blocks from the school they shot at, unfortunately the pole was just a prop and isn't there any longer. The school closed down a while ago and is now being renovated into a women's shelter.

I also worked at the local museum a few years ago, they have the original glasses in their archives and one of the Red Ryder rifles, which I got to hold
