Hey everyone. Like most of you, I've been a Stephen King fan for quite some time now. I actually wrote a message to Stephen on facebook and he directed me here to see if anyone here could help with my questions. Very cool! I would like to start off with discussing film locations for one of my favorite Stephen King movies, Silver Bullet, from his book Cycle of the Werewolf. I love to look up the locations of my favorite movies on Google maps. If i could travel, I'd visit and get pics in person, but Google's the next best thing. I also have a Stephen King's Silver Bullet fan page on facebook. I've posted some "Then and Now" pics already, but I'd like to get a few more. Anyway....

I know that Silver Bullet was filmed in Burgaw and Wilmington NC. I've found many areas including the courthouse and medcu drive gathering scene, the bar area, spot where Jane mailed Marty's letter, the Gazebo where Brady's remains were found, and the bridge where Marty shot the werewolf with the rocket.

I was wondering... does anyone know which church was used? Exterior of course. Also, Virgil's gas station, location of the covered bridge, Stella's house, Marty's school, and the Coslaw home. Maybe even Tammy's place. Understandable, some place, buildings may even be gone, but if not, I really need to find them.

As far as the railroad area goes where Arnie was killed, I think the railway is gone. But, if anyone knows which spot in particular was where his scene was filmed, by all means, let me know.

I appreciate any info I can get so that I can hopefully find the locations on Google Maps. Thanks everyone!

Thank you GNTLGNT. I've actually tried IMDB as well as Wikipedia. I found what I have found through these sources. I still need to find the church (Exterior) they used, the place that was Virgil's gas station, the covered bridge location, Stella's home, Marty's school, the Coslaw house, Tammy's place (if possible), and the spot on the old railway where Arnie's scene was filmed. I need to somehow get the word out to the film makers or anyone that may know all these place.

That was cool, Scott! Welcome SilverWolf - I loved this movie as well. Still haven't read Cycle of the Werewolf, but I will someday. Happy hunting! God Bless Gary Busey- he continues to be fun even in his current state.
Thank you! I still have yet to read Cycle too. Gary's quite a character, lol. He was made for the role of Uncle Red. Can imagine anyone else playing the role. =D
