John Doe (S1 E5) – Fountain Scene

Sleepy Hollow (TV 2013-2014)

Used in Sleepy Hollow’s episode John Doe, Thomas is discovered in the fountain.

This fountain is a bit of a sore subject for locals, as many cars have collided with it (as if it is hard to miss). It’s a testament to the poor driving skills found locally.

Jet Ski Scene

Tammy (2013)

I’m not sure if any of the structures are still there, but they built a dock, a shop, and had this whole area filled with people. It was extremely muddy due to recent rains, Susan Sarandon and Melissa McCarthy were there, with a whole lot of the filming being done on the water.

This was a huge scene with about 200 extras. I really doubt that I made it in to any scenes on this one, but none the less, it was a fun time hanging out with friends, eating crafty snacks, and examining tiny frogs smaller than 1 cm.

Actual Location:
Spring Lake Park – Pine Rd, Southport, NC 28461
