Movie House
The Thomas W. Phillips residence, better known as the Movie House is a house owned by the Victorville Film Archives, after its acquisition in December 2024, located at 2215 S Harvard Boulevard in Los Angeles. It is notable for being the original filming location for The People Under the Stairs. Season 15 of On Cinema at the Cinema will be filmed inside the house,[1] alongside Zombie 2 2.[2]
Initially, the VFA was looking at acquiring 843 South El Molino Avenue in Pasadena, the filming location of Father of the Bride.[1] However, an agreement was unable to be finalized. A preliminary poster for Season 15 featuring the Father of the Bride house was posted by Gregg, before an updated poster was released on On Cinema's social media.
The house is currently undergoing renovations by Mark Porsk. There is no functioning plumbing, requiring the use of a port-a-potty, and there are reports of rats chewing holes into wires and bags of food.[3] It is planned that the house will house the archive's collection of movies, as well as offer a number of screening rooms to watch the films. There are also a number of museum exhibits planned based on various movie franchises.[1]
The house is home to the VHS Movie House Studios, on which the zombie film Zombie 2 2 is planned to shoot.[2] It is also home to Newman Massage, open six days a week from noon to 10 PM.[4]
Currently, it is occupied by Newman Heidecker, Toni Newman,[2] and Mark.[3]
