First, I would recommend that people study up on the Mothman to understand the legend. The movie is more about Point Pleasant and the collapse of the Silver Bridge (which actually happened in 1967)...I loved the movie, especially how they updated it to a modern theme. Today (May 22) we drove to Point Pleasant expecting to see many of the scenes from the movie, only to find out that that movie was actually filmed in 2 different locations. We did get to meet some of the towns folk and get their perspective on the actual events of 1967...very interesting to hear some of the stories..we did visit the place where the Silver Bridge once stood and actually drove to the Ohio side on the sister bridge of the Silver Bridge....I would like to find out exactly what locations where used for this film. I do know that some of it was actually filmed in Point Pleasant, 6th street and Main....if anybody has info as to other locations of the shoot, please email me...one other thing, in the movie, the chemical actually exists, however, the actual plant is a power plant on the Ohio side of the river....Great movie, I highly recommend it and if you live close enough, give Point Pleasant a visit, very friendly town....Oh, one more thing..the jeep that the police officer drove in the movie actualy exists and is still in use today by the Point Pleasant Police Department....also, give the visitor center a visit as well....any comments and additional info from somebody who lives in the area would be appreciated..One more thing..we never concluded if the Avalon Motel actually existed..does anybody know?
