Police mistake movie set for murder scene

[Veho]

Police chief investigates 'most grisly murder in 35 years' before discovering blood-spattered scene is a horror movie set

"Firefighters who responded to a hotel blaze stumbled upon a blood-spattered hotel room littered with bottles of alcohol and even a piece of a scalp.

"Police Chief J.R. Blyth, who was called in to investigate, described the discovery at the George Washington Hotel in Pittsburgh as 'the most grisly murder scene in his 35 years in law enforcement'.

"Detectives had spent eight hours of overtime on the investigation before Chief Blyth realised the blood wasn’t real and that the murder scene was in fact the leftover set of a horror movie filmed two years ago with Corey Haim.

"The film called New Terminal Hotel shot a scene in the hotel and the owner, Kyrk Pyros, decided to leave the room untouched in case the crew had to come back for re-shoots. Mr Pyros was bemused by the police's discovery of the 'crime scene'. He said: 'I smiled and the [coroner] looked at me and said, "I am not finding this funny". I said, "Well, that is where [New] Terminal Hotel was shot. That is our scare room.'"

This happened awhile ago, I think before Halloween. I'm from Pennsylvania and heard this on my local news. Funny stuff.

Looks like the owner kept it that way as a souvenir.

Fail.

On one hand, maybe they should have notified the officials.

Secondly, this will probably increase advertising for the film.

Which could mean that if they make a sequel they can't revisit the room because it's been disturbed by the police.

That was my first thought

What if it was all a publicity stunt? And the hotel manager was in on it? But then I saw that the film was made two years prior, and figured it had probably already premiered in cinemas. Maybe there's an upcoming DVD release?

[nando]

that's retarded, if they had ever been to a real crime scene like that before they'd know it would smell

 

[Sephxus]

Will this be a scene in the movie?

I mean they can't get better reactions from actors.

 

[Infinite Zero]

That was really funny and weird.

The date of the premiere doesn't necessarily matter; advertising afterwards still could increase demand.

Hold up, this can't be right. I'm calling bullshit on this.

Who the hell would want Cory Haim in a movie?
