It Only Looks Like Halloween

This, on Bluesky, made me laugh. 
Who among us hasn’t strolled into Monday morning and said, “Fuck it, I’ll take one preventative MRI, please.”
We walked downtown in the -6C/21F cold and came across a scene for the Love is not the Answer movie that they are making. If you recall, or even if you don't recall from last week, it will feature Pamela Anderson and be directed by Michael Cera. I think the pumpkins are a pretty fair clue that is set for a future Thanksgiving release. Indeed, there is a Halloween banner that is not visible in any of my three photos. We've had a number of Hallmark movies filmed hereabouts, but this is not to be one of that ilk, apparently.

Across the street.


There was much standing and waiting by helper staff on our side of the street, with nothing actively transpiring. We boldly walked through the set and received a few friendly greetings.



I did not envy any of those involved on this very nippy day.

  1. I messed up my knee when I was younger. Any amount of standing and waiting on concrete does a number on me. I would have to utilize a bench or a straw bale.

  2. Nothing like doing a Thanksgiving movie -- with snow!

  3. Looks more like Halloween than Thanksgiving...with a face on that pumpkin. Wonder what "ilk" the movie might be...

    1. Oh that is true. I tend to link our Halloween and TG since they are both in October, but the film would be made for the US Halloween not your TG. I get confused. :)

  4. Standing around in the cold is deadly to these old bones.

  7. Interesting that your town is used as a set for movies. Do you see any of the actors ever?

    1. Photos appear, but you have to be hanging around at the right time.

    2. You asked about whether our snow will stick around. With the temperatures we are having it's likely to be with us for awhile unless we get a warming trend. Predicted lows on Thursday night are below 0!

  8. Hah! Did they actually glue some Fall leaves back onto the trees to get that effect? Very fun!

  12. When my older daughter lived in New York City, she would occasionally run into filming for Law and Order. It's always interesting to see what places they choose for their shows.

  13. We get a lot of filming around here and sometimes the crew can be quite nasty so it is good that they were nice to you.

  14. That's a lot of pumpkins. Yes, that's cold.

  15. Several movies have used our little town for some scenes. Evidently being an extra involves quite a lot of waiting around. I was never tempted.

  16. Brrr. When I was a kid we were driving through a city in Ontario where they were making a movie. My folks were excited. I was just thinking that the traffic was awful.
    What a pretty looking set!

  17. We have been watching a number of holiday films online the past two weeks and nearly everyone that features snow or a winter scene has been filmed in Canada. The snow scenes have been lovely in the most recent one, My Secret Santa, now on Netflix.

  18. That's remarkable the way they did over the downtown!
