The Wolfman, starring Lon Chaney Jnr was supposed to be set in Wales, but a Wales no one outside Hollywood has ever seen! Mind you, I love that movie (much, much more than I could ever even start to like the remake - which I doubt I'll ever do).
Universal's The Invisible Man from the 1930s is another.

It looks like one of those opera Frankenstein pseudo european countries. I hated the remake. Absolutly pointless. And I even saw the extended version, which I read makes more sense than the shorter cinema-version. |

The 1974 film "Ghost Story", released in the USA under the title "Madhouse Mansion" (a real Vault title if ever I heard one!), and featuring, amongst others, the rather weird combination of Penelope Keith & Marianne Faithful, was another of these. It was set in England but actually filmed in India. They used colonial-era estates and palaces.

Plenty of 1970s Italian nonsense, including The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave and Tragic Ceremony, neither of which even try to pretend to be in the UK, despite the latter featuring Scotland Yard (review coming soon at House of Mortal Cinema, btw ;->)

The Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue actually was shot on locations in Manchester and the Peak District (standing in for the Lake District), despite its bizarre notion of how close the two places are.

And let's not forget the Paul Naschy films that establish they're set in England with a shot of the Houses of Parliament or in Scotland with a shot of the Houses of Parliament accompanied by bagpipe music.

Ramsey Campbell, the Ramsey Campbell, Britain's answer to HP Lovecraft, a genuine legend, you're a huge inspiration to me. I'm sixteen. I want to be a WRITER. Is dat REally you? I LOVE FINDING OLD NOVELS LIKE YOURS IN BOOKSHOPS.  ;D What have you done to Solange is also filmed in London, but that is also EDGAR WALLACE as Well. I'm honoured you are on my thread. I feel as if I am dining with God or one of the Great Old Ones, well you're old to me... |

blimey, we're generally a bunch of old gits here - incuding the genuine mr campbell himself - that's it's great to see someone younger coming along. there's loads of stuff to discover here that you'll probably like, and anything we can do to shine a light in the dusty corner of the bookshop and cinema, then great.
welcome. by the way, edgar wallace is a WHOLE other matter, havea read of the stuff on here on his work and all the films that came from it...
bugger, i soundlike your grandad...
