Santa Mira Real Location - Halloween 3

YouTuber Jared Tipton took a drive to the town where cult classic Halloween 3 [1982] was filmed. That town, which I believe was called Santa Mira, is really called Loleta. Located in Humboldt County, California, Loleta is a rather quiet, eerie little town, which had a population of just under 600 people in 2020. That eerie vibe made it a great location for filming Halloween III. Even today, from looking at a fair few filming location videos on Loleta, that creepy feel still hasn't left the town.

Jared Tipton done a great job with this video tour. Mixing footage from the movie with the locations as they are today. He really nailed down the exact locations. And the footage of the old Silver Shamrock mask factory, located at: 281 Loleta DR. Loleta, CA. 95551 [which was an old food plant back in the day] was fascinating. Great job. The town doesn't seem to have changed much after all these years, the layout is basically still the same.

Then and now. This video was filmed in 2020. I believe the old Silver Shamrock mask factory which has been sitting abandoned for many years has now been sold. What the buyer(s) plans are we'll have to wait and see.

Quick Trivia: The hospital scenes in Halloween 3 were filmed at 11600 Eldridge Ave. Sylmar, Ca. 91342. From Google Street View that building appears to no longer exist. 

Did you know. Silver Shamrock masks can still be bought today. There were 3 mask types in the movie - Pumkin, Witch and Skull. You can find Silver Shamrock style masks for sale here: https://amzn.to/3u2DCuO
