St. Paul native Nicholas Bain has used his home state as the backdrop for a horror flick that - as of today - is available to stream in Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, iTunes/Apple TV, and more...just in time for spooky season!

The film features nods to classics like "The Exorcist" and "Paranormal Activity".

The horror flick was filmed at the James A. Thompson B&B in Lanesboro (southeast of Rochester) and stars Guillermo Blanco as Gabriel and Corrine Mica as Emma.

Emma is in line to inherit an estate...but only if she abides by an increasingly-strange set of stipulations. Meanwhile, Gabriel - a devout Catholic - battles his dark past. Will he be able to save them before a powerful evil awakens?

I'm in!

Grumpy Old Men's Minnesota Filming Locations

Does your family have some Family Movies? I mean those films that get played a lot in your house. The go-to bits of joy that make a day better, and are far more fun than watching The Weather Channel for an hour. 

Growing up, our family movies included Grease (my parent's favorite movie), Bill and Ted, and Back to the Future. Now, with my spouse and kids, our family movies include Twister and Wall-E in heavy rotation. We also have long been obsessed with the Grumpy Old Men films. 

The movie Grumpy Old Men, and its sequel, take place in Minnesota. They’re about a pair of lifelong frenemies, Max and John, played by Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon. They’re a couple of grumps living their retirement ice fishing and tormenting each other.

The movie was written and directed by Hastings, Minnesota native Mark Steven Johnson. And he made The Land of 10,000 Lakes one of the stars of the film.

The 1993 movie was shot in Minnesota, mainly at locations around Minneapolis and St Paul. Which means many of the locations are still there. So, we decided to take a Grumpy Old Men tour and see where they filmed this classic.
