Inside the BBQ shack.

This is the inside of what has come to be known as the BBQ shack.

Almost everything about this room has changed since 1973. What you are looking at is an area of the shack that was not filmed. Daniel Pearl placed the camera in front of this door for most of the shooting of the BBQ shack scene. For a view of Pearl's camera in this area, refer to this page. The biggest difference here is that a wall (right hand portion of the picture) with a door has been added to this room to separate this once single room into 2 rooms. The bench in which Sally Hardesty (Marilyn Burns) sits on was against this wall.

If you'd like to see a remnant in this picture from the movie, check out the wall covering in the upper left hand portion of this picture. It looks like gray brick work with black cement. This is the same brick work design as in the movie. The current owners have simply put paneling over the old wall covering.
