Hayride 2 Filmed at the hotel


A movie was filmed at The Old Loxley Hotel last week on January 24th. It was quite exciting to watch the action as the crew set up and filmed a small part of the film Hayride 2.  Apparently Hayride was filmed in Mobile and distributed in 2012 which tells of the story of a college student returning home for Halloween and forced to face his childhood fears when an escaped killer takes refuge in his family's "Haunted Hayride". .

Now Terron Parsons and his crew will be creating another horror/drama movie to continue the story. They came to set up around 4pm that afternoon and then the fun began.  The Mobile Police department started showing up in trucks and vans with assault rifles and protective vests like you see in the movies....







They practiced their search and seizure skills and then the filming began.

The whole filming took three hours and there was even time for filming an interview with me about the hotel for their "behind the scenes" section of the DVD.  I'm hoping this little bit of notoriety will give the hotel some exposure.....Great fun!!!
