Wasn’t that (Hellfighters) shot somewhere around Baytown or LaPorte? I had kin in the vicinity, who’d always get a big kick out of nostalgically reminiscing when Wayne and crew came around to film those scenes. Just seemed to bring up a lot of warm memories with them, bringing up the topic.

As for “Horse Soldiers,” I was always looking around for that area sort of between Natchitoches and Cloutierville where some scenes were supposedly shot. Met some locals who tried telling me, but I was invariably confused around those river roads.

As best I recall from near 50 years ago, I want to say the Hellfighter scenes were filmed south of the San Jacinto Monument and Battleship Texas but not in La Porte proper. The set was off a crushed shell road and looking at a Google map, my best quesstimate would be in the area of Upper San Jacinto Bay but I could be wrong

As to The Horse Soldiers all I recall is the shooting at the Oakland Plantation [called Greenbriar in the film], Natchitoches, Louisiana and the wooded areas nearby [about an hour or so's drive west of Natchez) and Jefferson Military College [had to look the name up] just northeast of Natchez. I am sure they shot at other locations in and around Natchez but those are the only ones I remember the location.

Now, if you want to know about the location shooting on 1973's Don't Look in the Basement, I can take you by the hand there. It was shot at the old Westminster College in Tehuacana, Texas. My ex-father-in-law owned the property at the time but I was off in La-La Land while that film was shot working on my Moviestar status.

Hate to admit it, but both the low-budget horror flick and my Moviestar status didn't fly far enough--
