Hollywood Built A Town Then Left It To Decay On An Island In Alabama
Spectre, a movie set from the film Big Fish, remains a surreal, preserved ghost town that visitors can explore and camp in.
Fans of the 2003 film Big Fish will immediately recognize this enchanting locale.
Not content with founding the town of Spectre in a Hollywood studio, director Tim Burton actually built a life-size community near a town called Millbrook in Alabama.
It’s located on an island in the middle of a lake, and visitors can actually camp there for only $10. Read on to learn more about this unbelievable place, and be sure to watch the exploration footage below.
The town of Spectre is a perfectly preserved, imaginary ghost town.
Though the film debuted over a decade ago, the movie set remains almost exactly how it appears on screen.
In the film, the town was an idyllic community filled with twinkling lights and happy, barefoot residents.
Today, visitors to the town often throw their shoes onto this power line to recreate the look of the film even more.
The homes are made of real wood, but some feature unsettling elements like doors that lead to nowhere, or faux chimneys.
Goats now roam the quiet town, making the atmosphere here even more surreal.
Take a look at the unbelievable footage of the town below:
