Live from Daryl's House (simply known as Daryl's House and often abbreviated as LFDH) is an online music series that debuted in the autumn of 2007. The show features singer-songwriter Daryl Hall performing with his band and various guest artists at his home in Millerton, New York.[1] The show provides a performance space that is an alternative to live concerts and studio sessions for popular artists. This allows the artists to "…have fun and [be] creatively spontaneous".[2] The majority of shows include a segment in which Hall and the guest artist prepare food from different cuisines for everyone to eat. The food comes from various local restaurants and the chefs of those establishments walk Hall and guest through the preparation of the food. The eclectic restaurant menu features a variety of award-winning American cuisine, like steaks, seafood, pasta and sandwiches reflecting his Philly/East Coast roots, while Daryl’s House Club hosts both standing and seated shows featuring top artists in an intimate setting boasting a world-class sound system, with free music at weekend brunches and, during the summer, on the back porch. The idea for Daryl’s House, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer’s restaurant and live music club was born in a light-bulb moment more than 12 years ago, when Daryl Hall first conceived his Webby Award-winning Live from Daryl’s House, which bowed on the Internet in late 2007 and maintains its status as a groundbreaking series.

The "popular" emerged as both the subject and the medium for many artists and commercialism was embraced. This focus on "low" culture stretched the definition of art, while also providing social critique. Postmodern architecture is a style of building design that emerged in the ’70s and ’80s as a reaction against the dogmas and ideals of modernism and the international style. “It saw a whole range of architects look again at the architectural past and think about how references to these times could be deployed via quotations, via references, or via sampling,” Hopkins explains.

Fueled by the idea that design doesn’t need to follow rules, the postmodern style mirrored the emerging social outlooks of the times. Mismatched elements came together to create playfully extravagant looks, and the definitions of an item’s function became more fluid. Above all, postmodernism embraces individualism and experimentation, which comes to life through funky combinations of texture, color, lines, and materials. In addition to the minimalistic materiality of modernism, Postmodernists were unlimited in their range of materials and their applications. Though he was not as vocal about the ideals of the style, he is well known for both using traditional materials in unusual ways and using unexpected and unique materials for architectural applications.
The postscript on postmodern design
This found expression in one-off totemic ceramics and furniture, which were fuelled by the counter culture's enthusiasms for drugs and free love. Sottsass was a presence in early radical design, participating in a modest way in Mendini's Studio Alchymia. But it was not until 1981, and the founding of Memphis, that his own influence would be felt. The show we staged at the V&A included graphics, music, costume, ceramics, industrial design, and many other disciplines. Not all Postmodern architecture has stood the test of time (literally – Graves' Portland Building, built on the cheap, is in terrible condition today and desperately requires restoration).
Asymmetric and oblique forms
Because postmodernism positions itself as opposed to this kind of formal structure, it may come as no surprise that it also rejects any attempt to define it in a succinct way. Postmodernism can be a frustrating, nebulous term, and even designers whose work it describes often find it ill-fitting. It also reaches across disciplines, affecting everything from literature to philosophy to architecture. In fact, the term can be so broad that many designers might have already found themselves working in a postmodern style without realizing it. All the more reason why it is important to understand what exactly postmodern design is and how to take advantage of its principles with intention.
Form was no longer to be defined solely by its functional requirements or minimal appearance. The Vanna Venturi House in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, was completed in 1964 by architect Robert Venturi. Built for Venturi's mother, with its unconventional scale and broken gable roof, it was one of the first acknowledged works of postmodern architecture. “I like elements which are hybrid rather than pure, compromising rather than clear, distorted rather than straightforward,” the architect wrote. Designed by Venturi for his mother, the Vanna Venturi is an exemplary postmodern-style residential building. The home is located in Philadelphia and is defined by its monumental façade, despite the home only actually being about 30 feet tall.

Sheila Levrant de Bretteville’s poster for the Women’s Graphic Center illustrates just that, as it advocates the need for women to learn how to print and set type in order to create their own content. Levrant de Bretteville asserted that embracing digital technologies would facilitate greater access to those tools. Part of the playfulness of Postmodernism lies in the bright colors that adorn these buildings. Modernists often designed white and glass boxes that were meant to fit any location and any person. Postmodernists instead used colors to breathe life and variation into their work and to make their buildings one-of-a-kind experiences that were specifically designed for the cities they were built in. Marina Abramovic positioned herself passively in a gallery and invited her viewers to do what they liked to her without any response from her.
Today, architects feel free to borrow from anywhere they like, and few would be bold enough to propose a new building without attending to local conditions. That happy state of affairs is largely thanks to Postmodernism, its complexities and its contradictions. Even at its most brilliant, his work always suggests that some sort of put-on is afoot. As a matter of fact, the style was perhaps most succinctly captured by Milanese design groups such as Studio Alchymia (led by Alessandro Mendini) and Memphis (led by Ettore Sottsass). A longer essay than this one would be required to take the measure of these radical projects, which expanded the intellectual reach of furniture and objects just as surely as Graves, Rossi, Stirling and others were enlarging the vocabulary of architecture. Today, 30 years after the height of the movement, it is possible to get past the hysterical debates that attended Postmodern structures like Charles Moore's Piazza d'Italia (1978), Michael Graves' Portland Building (1982) and Philip Johnson's AT&T Building in New York (1984).
Neo-expressionism and painting
And by the 60s, Pop Art emphasized low-brow culture, collage and consumerist objects. Building upon what began with Andy Warhol and pop art, the postmodern period welcomed pop culture references in art and design. The lines between pop culture and high culture were blurred as vintage toys or action figures became display items, and references to popular movies or music would find themselves on walls. Sweeping references to street art or urban culture also appeared in the form of wall treatments or complete design themes. Frank Gehry is an important Postmodern architect with a portfolio full of incredible examples of the style.
The Ultimate Guide to Postmodern Design and Decor
Her typography also rejected its role as a background player, and became the main feature of many of her pieces. Today, postmodern design is enjoying a renaissance with a return to hand-made items, bold patterns, and outside-the-box approaches to décor. At its core, postmodernism was an attempt to break free from the practical, muted, and often impersonal approach of modern design.

This new practice became known as Relational Aesthetics, and resisted commoditization of art through its performative nature, providing a powerful criticism of the art world, a field that came to be known as institutional critique. Damien Hirst's shark preserved in formaldehyde is perhaps the most famous work of the Young British Artists movement in the 1990s. Hirst's presentation of a once deadly beast as a carcass that has been preserved to appear lifelike, forces the viewer to confront their fears in the institutional setting of a gallery rather than in a private space, while also playing on Baudrillard's notion of the real and its image. The viewers would have likely only seen an animal of this size and ferocity as an image in a book or on television. Even by having an actual shark placed in the gallery, it may have been difficult for viewers to see the animal as "real" rather than as a replica or simulacra, in Baudrillard's terms, because the shark is dead and has lost its power to harm. This piece was included in the infamous Sensations exhibition along with works by Tracey Emin and Rachel Whiteread.
This trend reached its apogee with Abstract Expressionism, which championed non-representational painting. However, in the decades that followed the movement, painting as a medium was considered cliche with little room left for experimentation. With the advent of postmodernism, some artists began exploring past styles and media - particularly painting - as part of the postmodern aesthetic that brought back both the historical and the subjective but with a purposeful lack of stylistic integrity or unity. Postmodernism with its diversity possesses sensitivity to the building's context and history, and the client's requirements.

Databases should contain detail data on genomics and proteomics, high quality sequence information, physicochemical properties, and structures. In particular, like any computer assisted hypothetical system results must be validated in actual systems, and many lead molecules identified using CADD have failed to exhibit desired activities in biological systems [83, 84]. Several parameters must be met before potential compound to be approved as potent lead/drug, as it has to pass several pharmacological criteria. In fact, an average of only 40% of lead/drug candidates passes the different phases of clinical trials and obtains approval for clinical use. Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD) emerged as an efficient means of identifying potential lead compounds and for aiding the developments of possible drugs for a wide range of diseases [8, 9].
5. Molecular Dynamic (MD) Simulation
Although the synthetic success rate for some of the commercial on-demand chemical spaces (for example, Enamine REAL Space) have been thoroughly validated20,21,22,23,24,26,42, synthetic accessibilities and success rates of other chemical spaces remain unpublished38. These are important metrics for the practical sustainability of on-demand synthesis because reduced success rates or unreasonable time and cost would diminish its advantage over custom synthesis. Al., the blue components are a part of computer-aided drug design (CADD) and it has transformed the way targets are being discovered and validated. In the modern era, the process filters active ingredients passing through different phases and choosing the best candidates to enter into clinical trials. We believe this review will be helpful for better understanding of CADD and its applications towards the discovery of new drug candidates against various fatal NDs. Straightaway the AI designed new molecules that also increase the activity of PPARs, like the drugs currently available, but without a lengthy discovery process.
Challenges of gigascale screening
When combined with more accurate in vitro testing, this may reduce and eventually eliminate animal test requirements (as recently indicated by FDA)145. The modular nature of on-demand virtual libraries supports further growth by the addition of reactions and building blocks. However, building, maintaining and searching fully enumerated chemical libraries comprising more than a few billion compounds become slow and impractical.
1. Structure-based Drug Design (SBDD)
His research encompasses discovery of neurological therapeutics, characterization of drug mechanism, and early and later stage drug development. Dr. Rogawski is an elected fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and was awarded the UC Davis Chancellor's Innovator of the Year Award for inventing the drug Zulresso™. In addition to the common methods introduced in the first edition of this chapter, additional CADD methods developed recently in our laboratory as well as from other laboratories will be described below.

Advanced computational applications have been shown to be effective tools and notable successes have been achieved using these techniques. CADD is a specialized discipline, whereby different computational methods are used to simulate interactions between receptors and drugs in order to determine binding affinities [19]. However, the technique is not limited to studies of chemical interactions and binding affinity predictions, as it has many more applications ranging from the design of compounds with desired physiochemical properties to the management of digital repositories of compounds.
Pharmacophore models mapping
The CADD methods presented in the chapter such as SILCS for SBDD or CSP for LBDD take this issue into account and thus have advantages over other CADD methods that only rely on single crystal structure or limited ligand conformations. CADD methods are mathematical tools to manipulate and quantify the properties of potential drug candidates as implemented in a number of programs. These include a range of publicly and commercially available software packages; the subset described below represents examples of fundamental tools for CADD with emphasis on those commonly used in our laboratory. Wet-lab, SBDD and LBDD CADD techniques are outlined in solid lines, dashed lines or dotted lines, respectively. Double headed arrows indicate the two techniques can be used interactively in several iterative rounds of ligand design. "Our work has made the world of proteins accessible for generative AI in drug research," Schneider says.
The SARS CoV-2 2′-o-methyltransferase (nsp16) is another important enzyme target essential for viral multiplication. The enzyme precisely protects the viral RNA from the cellular innate immunity by participating in the formation of a specific arrangement known as RNA cap, a structure which contributes to viral RNA stability and effective process of translation [124]. SARS-Cov-2 Nsp13 helicase is one of the critical enzyme among the 16 known CoV Nsp proteins which shows the highest sequence conservation across the CoV family, indicating their importance for viral multiplication.
Such gigascale virtual libraries are therefore usually maintained as non-enumerated chemical spaces, defined by a specific set of building blocks and reactions (or transforms), as comprehensively reviewed in ref. 38. Within pharma, one of the first published examples includes PGVL by Pfizer37,43, the most recent version of which uses a set of 1,244 reactions and in-house reagents to account for 1014 compounds. Other biopharma companies have their own virtual chemical spaces38,44, although their details are often not in the public domain. Among commercially available chemical spaces, GalaXi Space by WuXi (approximately 8 billion compounds), CHEMriya by Otava (11.8 billion compounds) and Enamine REAL Space (36 billion compounds)45 are among the largest and most established. In addition to their enormous sizes, these virtual spaces are highly novel and diverse, and have minimal overlap (less than 10%) between each other46.
What is drug discovery?
Several in silico experiments have been conducted using the modeled structure of cysteine protease to investigate the nature of its binding site. Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are involved in a tremendous amount of vital cellular processes in bacteria and can serve as novel antibiotic targets (130, 131). Efforts towards the inhibition of PPIs related to division and replication, transcription, outer membrane protein complexes, as well as toxin-antitoxin systems in bacteria are ongoing (132). Thus, PPI prediction is of utility to identify novel druggable PPI interfaces in bacterial proteins and pave the way toward novel antibiotic therapeutics. Traditional PPI prediction methods are mostly based on rigid protein structures with limited flexibility considerations (133). Using the GFE FragMap and protein residue occupancy distributions, or protein probability grids (PPG), calculated from SILCS, a PPI prediction method named SILCS-PPI was put forward in our laboratory (134).
However, during the last decade, computers have been used to aid and accelerate the process of drug discovery, and this process is now referred to as computer-aided drug design (CADD) or computer-assisted molecular design (CAMD). Neurodegenerative disorders (NDs) are diverse group of disorders characterized by escalating loss of neurons (structural and functional). The development of potential therapeutics for NDs presents an important challenge, as traditional treatments are inefficient and usually are unable to stop or retard the process of neurodegeneration. Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD) has emerged as an efficient means of developing candidate drugs for the treatment of many disease types.
LBDD is used in the absence of the target 3D structure with the central theme being the development of an SAR from which information on modification of the lead compound to improve activity can be obtained. Notably, CADD methods are evolving with researchers continually updating and implementing new CADD techniques with higher levels of accuracy and speed (24–26). In this chapter, we will present commonly used CADD approaches, including those used in our lab for the design of next-generation antibiotics.
This in silico process has achieved a position of great importance in the drug discovery field [21, 36-38]. Molecular docking has emerged over the last two decades and is now considered an indispensable tool for CADD and in the structural biology field, and has been shown to be more efficient than traditional drug discovery methods. Molecular docking has been greatly facilitated by dramatic growth in computer power and the increasing availability of small molecule and protein databases. Recent advancements in computer methods and access to 3D structural information of biological targets are set to increase the effectiveness of this technique and facilitate its large-scale application to studies of molecular interactions involved in ligand-protein binding.
Biomacromolecular therapeutics, or so called biologics, need to be carefully formulated to maximize protein stability and minimize viscosity, so as to ensure both efficacy and safety for highly concentrated formulations (141). Toward maximizing stability, biologics can be formulated with excipients to help minimize aggregation and denaturation of the biologic in a solution formulation (142). To assist the rational selection of excipients for biologics, we developed the SILCS-Biologics protocol (143, 144) which combines SILCS-PPI and SILCS-Hotspots as described above to predict both PPIs that can contribute to protein aggregation and increased viscosity, and binding sites of excipients.
This information is then combined to build a model for protein stability, aggregation and viscosity prediction. Further growth of the on-demand chemical space size and diversity is also supported by recent development of new robust reactions for the click-like assembly of building blocks. As well as ‘classical’ azide-alkyne cycloaddition click chemistry120, recognized by the 2022 Nobel Prize in chemistry121, and optimized click-like reactions including SuFEx122, more recent developments such as Ni-electrocatalysed doubly decarboxylative cross-coupling123 show promise. Other carbon–carbon forming reactions use methyliminodiacetic acid boronates for Csp2–Csp2 couplings124, and most recently tetramethyl N-methyliminodiacetic acid boronates125 for stereospecific Csp3–C bond formation. Each of these reactions applied iteratively can generate new on-demand chemical spaces of billions of diverse compounds operating with a limited number of building blocks. Similar to the routinely used automatic assembly of amino acids in peptide synthesis, fully automated processes could be carried out with robots capable of producing a library of drug-like compounds on demand using combinations of a few thousand diverse building blocks126,127,128.
For SBDD, protein 3D structure is required to explore atomic level details of the ligand-protein interactions. When no protein structure is available from the PDB, structure prediction methods such as homology modelling (92) were used traditionally to generate 3D models. With the surging of AI and related DL techniques, DL driven structure prediction methods such as RoseTTA fold (48) and AlphaFold (49) can now predict most protein 3D structures to a level of approaching experimental accuracy. In the recent challenging 14th Critical Assessment of protein Structure Prediction (CASP14), AlphaFold was demonstrated to greatly outperform other methods, and its predictions are competitive with experimental structures in a majority of cases. An updated view on different types of NDs, their effect on human population and a brief introduction to CADD, various approaches involved in this technique, ranging from structural-based to ligand-based drug design has been discussed.
However, with all MD based methods the user must perform careful analysis to assure that the conformational ensemble is adequately converged for effective use in CADD. 1Conformational flexibility of molecules is a very important feature no matter if it is a small ligand or a large protein. Thus conformational sampling of a protein or ligand that produces an ensemble of biological meaningful conformations is necessary either for SBDD or for LBDD.
With the widest edge on the back of my neck, I tie the two ends together, making sure the middle section is below the tie. Then I flip the middle part back and tie once more into a little bow. The nice thing about this is that you don’t have to be perfect with it–just get the ends outta your face.
Best Cross Design Haircut Variations For You To Try
Learning how to shave lines in the hair requires practice and precision to ensure the desired outcome. Line designs are generally called “line designs” or “line work.” They’re also called “line patterns,” but that term has been used more commonly. You will have a lot of versatility when making this type of look for any period or style that fits your client’s needs. But the outline of the cross that creates a 3D effect needs your stylist to be more careful. When it is done correctly, you can touch the cross and instantly feel its presence instantly. As another twist, the cross in the lower back-left stands out by appearing lower than the hairline.

With a shaved part and cool shading, an awesome freestyle design can be an easy choice that creates an interesting twist. The skin fade transitions into the neckline and accentuates the longer hair on top while the artwork catches your eye. A classic taper design always stays in style, but adding a simple shaved line at the back lets you showcase your personality while bringing dimension to your look.
Examples of popular mid drop fade designs include the high drop fade, low drop fade, and mid drop fade, which work best with thick curls, short and longer hair. Bald fade haircuts are a popular hairstyle for men that involve gradually trimming the hair down to the skin. This creates a smooth and natural transition that can be combined with various hairstyles. The skin fade is the shortest type of bald fade, where the hair is cut down to the skin. The high bald fade is tapered with very little hair left on the sides, while the low bald fade increases in length gradually up the head. The mid bald fade involves shaving the hair at the bottom and styling longer hair at the top.
Buzz Cut with Star Design
Writing for respected publications like Forbes and HuffPost, she’s committed to bringing her passion for great hair to the masses. They’re larger notches that get smaller as they reach the front of the head, though you can also go for notches that are just one width. Even though this seems subtle, it can pack a punch because it contrasts so heavily and pops right out.
Bolt Line Design Hairstyle
Ensure that your hair is short and evenly trimmed before applying a lightweight product to create a slick back look. Use a comb to lift the front section of hair upwards to create volume before shaping it into a pompadour. Then, apply a high-hold pomade, wax, or gel to the slicked-back portion of your pomp.
Fade with a Line Hair Design
A properly maintained and highlighted margin can add a unique touch to the design. The low fade is an option that can be adapted to suit various tastes and preferences. Thirdly, zigzag lines create a unique and edgy look to a fade haircut.
Best Haircut Designs for Men
The first step in the wet set is sectioning your hair into manageable parts. For me, I prefer to get my proper part right before anything else. Then I separate my hair into a back section, two sides, and the top. I use the end of the rat-tail comb to create the sections, and the claw clips to hold everything in place. As the daughter of a long-time hair stylist and salon owner, she’s spent most of her life as a guinea pig for new color and cut techniques.

We have rounded up a selection of ideas to match any haircut, length, and hair texture. Experimentation with the styling process may be necessary if your hair is very curly or thick.
Pairing a slicked-back hairstyle with a buzz cut creates a short, simple, and minimalistic look. Pairing a taper fade with a slick back helps you achieve a well-defined and edgy haircut. This hairstyle works excellently for men with the straight hair type. The styling product further helps to highlight the natural texture and sleekness of the hair. If you love this style but don’t want to commit to shaving your entire head, try getting an undercut instead!
This versatile fade typically starts at the middle of the head and combines a short back and sides with a longer top for an attractive look. Maintain youthful flow with a tousled quiff or sport a stylish crew or functional buzz cut for a masculine finish. The V-shape bob hairstyle is a popular choice for older women because its unique shape is perfect for creating the illusion of volume and thickness.
Diamond shape hair design is an unusual choice for guys, yet it looks absolutely dazzling. If your barber is a true professional, let them create and see what they come up with. This fantasy haircut design, which reminds an Egyptian eye sign, is everything. Long on top, with a short back and sides, this men’s hairstyle is arguably one of the most popular trends now.
The low fade keeps a good amount of hair in the upper back for the cross design to transition into. Keep in mind that the process of blending it takes the touch of an artist. The high temple fade is a more dramatic option, with the hair gradually fading from the temples up toward the crown of the head. This style is often paired with longer hair on top for a more edgy look.
A high fade is a contemporary fade that starts higher up on the head around the temples instead of midway above the ears. The hair on the sides and back is typically very short, sometimes even shaved down to the skin (called a skin fade, which we’ll also cover in our list). Since the fade starts “high up” on the head, this cut is fittingly called a high fade. But there are just seven basic types of fades that underlie all of these modern, trendy styles. This haircut line design takes its inspiration from a drop fade, which is when the line of a fade “drops” below the ear. There’s such an amazing variety of hair designs to choose from, that it’s easy to get lost.
In the Autumn of 1978, an adult Michael Myers returned to Haddonfield and briefly took up residence inside the derelict house. Also, Tommy Doyle told Laurie that the old Myers house was haunted and that Lonnie Elam told him that awful stuff happened there once. However, Dan then suggested that they go upstairs to have sex, which distracted Judith from her babysitting duty. After Michael saw the two teens go upstairs and the light turns off in Judith's bedroom, he walked through the back door and got a butcher knife from a kitchen drawer. Judith was in the midst of brushing her hair while sitting in front of her vanity and noticed Michael standing behind her when she saw his reflection in the mirror. It was not until she turned around that Michael stabbed her in the chest, torso, and abdomen.
Here's how to throw your kids a spooktacular Halloween party on a budget
If you’re a die-hard scary movie fan, you might recognize that line from one of the greatest and most influential slasher films of all time, the original Halloween, released in October 1978. As part of his deal when buying the house, it had to be immediately removed so redevelopment of the area could take place. David had the house moved from 709 Meridian Avenue to where it is now, 1000 Mission Street, just 160 yards down the road. The property now sits next to a railway track opposite some commercial buildings. They began fixing up the inside and outside of the property, as both the interior and exterior were to be used in the movie. This included floorboards, lighting, and all the typical stuff a fixer-upper would require.
H20 Timeline
The Century House (as the iconic Halloween filming location has also been known), is now South Pasadena Cultural Landmark No. 34. Luckily, fans and historians rallied against this decision and the home was simply moved to a new location at 1000 Mission Street, where it still stands today. The house was originally located at 709 Meridian Avenue, and it was set to be bulldozed in 1987 to make way for a hospital.
The Myers Halloween House
The building is now home to Westland Financial Services (so there’s still some bloodletting happening here), but they don’t seem to appreciate the building’s horror pedigree — a small sign on the front door explicitly forbids trespassing. After being used in the Halloween film, the house remained vacant and became increasingly dilapidated until it was eventually was slated to be bulldozed in 1987 — only to be saved from destruction at the last moment. When Halloween was filmed in the late 1970s, the house had already long been abandoned. The rumors say the building was in such bad shape that the film crew had to do a little work to make the facade presentable — even as a spooky house.
History
The case is remembered for being the most shocking, gruesome, unconscionable, unusual, and unnatural murder even despite the fact it was a familial killing. Haddonfield and deaths on Halloween have transformed public perception of Haddonfield as the Halloween Capital of the World even more so than the Celtic Islands; the origin of the celebration of Samhain - the precursor to All Hallow's Eve or Halloween. Because of the now overwhelming widespread knowledge about the infamous serial killer Michael Myers, Haddonfield and Halloween have become synonymous. For instance, the home has the living room to the left of the front door, but in the movie characters turn to the right to enter the living room. Also in the film, the doorknob to the front door is on the right hand side of both the exterior and the interior sides of the door. While 707 Meridian Avenue was the original address for Michael Myers’ home, it has since moved to the corner of Meridian Avenue and Mission Street at 1000 Mission Street.
It would have been extremely hard, if not impossible, to recreate the suburban Midwest feel of Haddonfield, simply because of stringent building codes and neighborhood restrictions now in place. As far as the interior décor, there was no way Kenny was going to replicate the rundown and outdated 70s look with the run-down flooring, appliances, and furniture made famous in the movie! The film is set in Haddonfield, Illinois, a fictional Midwestern town that is actually an ode to co-wroter, Debra Hill’s hometown of Haddonfield, NJ. In reality the original location of Michael Myers home was in a residential area of South Pasadena, California at 707 Meridian Avenue. You see the production was extremely low budget and the entire film was shot for $300,000 so the director, John Carpenter, stayed as close to home as possible to save on costs.
Location
Donald and Edith died in an automobile accident on the then-newly built Interstate 55 just as they were descending onto the Pontiac exit ramp. Ownership of the house was willed to the Myers' family friends Morgan and Pamela Strode, Susanna's "godparents," [Laurie's adoptive parents]. Morgan and his brother John transferred ownership to their real estate agency business Strode Realty one year after Donald and Edith had passed away.
Why Does Michael Myers Want To Kill Laurie? Halloween Killer Motives & Theories - Screen Rant
Why Does Michael Myers Want To Kill Laurie? Halloween Killer Motives & Theories.
The first challenges Kenny encountered was not having any blueprints for the original house, not owning any land, and not having any real idea how much a project like this would cost. The house lacked bathrooms and a kitchen - the kitchen you see in HALLOWEEN was added for the film. The upstairs of the original house has four small bedrooms (2 on each side), with each room including a tiny closet. The NC iteration of the Myers House was designed to look as close as possible to the original house from the exterior front and side views, but the interior and back of the house were intentionally altered to be livable by his vision and by modern standards. Fans wanting to visit the original house will have no problem seeing the famous landmark from the outside - all you have to do is get off of the train at "Mission Station" and you are a stone's throw away from the original Spookhouse. Exploring the interior of Michael's old haunts proves a bit more difficult, as the businesses inside the house are not crazy about HALLOWEEN fans randomly dropping by to pay homage.
After filming at the property ended in 1978, the house at 709 Meridian Avenue was abandoned again. It was then set to be demolished in 1987, along with many other nearby properties. However, it was saved by a South Pasadena council member, David Margrave, who purchased the property for next to nothing. Lifelong horror fans like Jonathan Wiseman make the pilgrimage just to see something so fantastically scary in real life. Coincidentally, Nichol’s Hardware Store, where Michael Myers shoplifted the iconic mask and other tools of his grim trade, can be found across the street (at 966 Mission) from the Century House.
Once the site of the Mission Arroyo Hotel (South Pasadena Cultural Landmark No. 26), the building has housed a few different businesses during its history. Known officially as the Century House, the building dates back to 1888 when the Indiana Colony settled in the area. It’s thought to be one of the first homes built in the 3.4 square miles that make up city.
This simple fact adds another layer of authenticity to the movie for its legion of dedicated fans - the fact that, somewhere, Michael Myers' house really exists. Every town has a haunted house…That's exactly what the filmmakers found when searching for locations for John Carpenter's HALLOWEEN ...a simple old dilapidated Victorian house standing in stark contrast to the tidy suburban homes of South Pasadena, California. When they found it, the house appeared exactly as it does in the scene where little Tommy Doyle (Brian Andrews) and Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) take a different route to school to put the key underneath the mat of the old Spookhouse. When John Carpenter was looking for filming locations for the Halloween movie house, he came across the property at 709 Meridian Avenue, which was already abandoned and left rotting. While they wanted the house to look spooky, it couldn’t look abandoned, as this was supposed to be the Myers family home, so the production team got to work.
Of course, today it is no longer a private residence - several local businesses have offices set up in various rooms of the house. Along with interior modifications to convert the rooms into office space, the exterior of the house was given a facelift and painted light blue with red trim. The house appeared in poor quality due to it in real life being like that, with the only real restoration at the time being slight makeups for the 1963 segment, for it to look in better quality. In 1987, multiple houses on Meridian Avenue were to be destroyed, included the one known for being the Myers house. Margrave did not own any land, and so he put it on a random street corner, which due to the house's history, got to stay and is still there with a fix-up and new coat of paint, as the Myers house would have in Halloween Kills. Luckily for HALLOWEEN fans, South Pasadena identified the historical significance of "The Century House" and has named it landmark #34 in their list of local properties, forever preserving it as a piece of history.
More iconic horror movie locations
The fictional town in the Halloween movies took its name from Haddonfield, New Jersey, where producer and screenwriter Debra Hill was born. On the eve of the release of Halloween Ends, the 13th and final installment in the iconic franchise, we take a walk down memory lane to visit Michael Myers’ childhood home. Some would even argue this is the true Halloween movie house, as it is where the finale occurs. Those who have watched the original Halloween movie will know that the Michael Myers house is not the only Halloween movie house worth mentioning. So, the next time you watch "Halloween," remember that house is actually out there — but probably not to truly haunt your dreams.
Jamie Lee Curtis' House From 'Halloween' Sells For $1.68 Million - TMZ
Jamie Lee Curtis' House From 'Halloween' Sells For $1.68 Million.
For many fans, simply knowing that the house still exists can give them the chills. Who knows, maybe Michael is still lurking behind one of those gaping windows... After Donald and Edith graduated from Northwestern University in the early 1940's. They settled in Donald's hometown of Haddonfield and purchased an imposing yet stately Gothic-style mansion located in Haddonfield's eastern residential district at 1007 First Avenue. During Michael's kindergarten year, he insisted that the house was haunted, claiming to her voices, and suffered from horrific nightmares. Michael's parents took this behavior seriously, although maintained their belief that the house was perfectly safe for a growing family.
Where Halloween was filmed - Entertainment Weekly News
Throughout the movie you can see California license plates on cars, palm trees in the background and a little too much greenery for late October in Illinois. Laurie Strode’s house, played by Jamie Lee Curtis, also gets a fair bit of screen time. Unlike the Michael Myers house, this property has not moved and still looks much like it did in the movie, despite its color change.
This normal-looking two-story saltbox house with Midwestern Greek revival styling stars in the opening scene of John Carpenter’s 1978 horror classic Halloween. It plays the role of the home where young Michael Myers killed his sister in an upstairs bedroom. Another notable difference between the North Carolina house and the original is the exterior setting of the house and the interior décor. The NC house was constructed on over 5 acres of old farmland out in the country - sprawling hills and trees for miles.
However, in 1978, at the time of filming Halloween, it was a hardware store. After the incident, Michael was sent away to Smith’s Grove Sanitarium, where he remained for 15 years before escaping and returning to his hometown of Haddonfield, Illinois. While the movie was set in Haddonfield, Illinois, it wasn’t filmed there. When John Carpenter's "Halloween" debuted in 1978, it changed horror movies forever. The story of straight-laced teenager Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) being forced to take on escaped serial killer Michael Myers (Nick Castle and Tony Moran) on the spookiest night of the year popularized the slasher genre in a whole new way. It even sparked plenty of tropes within the sub-genre itself, such as the inclusion of eerie synth scores and having a masked murderer be a movie's ultimate big bad.
THE ‘HALLOWEEN’ HOUSE: Get Stalked by Michael Myers in South Pasadena
When now-serial killer Michael Myers appeared on Halloween of that year, all the Strode family members, save Laurie's paternal adoptive cousin Kara, were murdered. Since the house never sold, Pamela Strode, after Morgan passed away in May 2001, took over the operations of Strode Realty and allowed the Dangertainment live-video Internet company full use of the property. After the Dangertainment murders of Thursday October 31, 2002, Pamela had the residence torn completely down and the land completely leveled within weeks. The lot sold in the Spring of 2003, including newly available neighboring lots, and the property was rebuilt with large condominiums. Pamela Strode still maintains the blueprints for the original house that was built in the late 1880's.
The house was originally located at 707 Meridian (some reports say 709 Meridian), literally down the block (less than 500 feet) from where it stands today. In South Pasadena, an unassuming powder blue house, sitting adjacent to the Gold Line (though we’re supposed to call it the L Line now), is a notorious film history location. This October, the 13th — and sadly, the final — installment in the classic Halloween franchise will be released, and we’re hoping to revisit the Myers home one last time. If you cannot travel all the way to California just to see the Halloween house from the outside, you can always head to Hillsborough, North Carolina, and visit a life-size replica of the infamous Myers home.
Four years after Laurie Strode confronted Michael Myers in Halloween Kills, the two are set to meet again, for the last time, and we’re all waiting with bated breath to see whether good or evil will win in the end. The Myers home was featured in most of the Halloween franchise movies and has become instantly recognizable to any movie buff. What’s more, there’s no danger of the house ever facing demolition again, as it was recognized by South Pasadena as one of the city’s historic landmarks. Its construction reportedly marked the arrival of settlers from Indiana to California, where they left their mark on the local architecture, blending Midwestern-centric details into the design of the homes.
While the house is now a massage therapist’s office, you can sit on the stairs (they’re cool with it), admire the toilet blue coloring of the house, and, (presumably) still murder your sister in the upstairs bedroom. These three spots aren’t the only South Pasadena locations that starred in Halloween. Many places in the town were used to depict Haddonfield, Illinois, the fictional town Halloween was set in.
The nearby South Pasadena High School, easily recognizable for its Art Deco architecture, was used as the stand-in for Haddonfield High. Sitting innocently in the quiet neighborhood of South Pasadena you’ll find one of the most notorious houses in cinematic history — the filmic home of murderer Michael Myers. In total, there are four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms plus an detached guest house that provides additional space. Modern chandeliers accent the 3,600 square feet of living space, which includes a center-island kitchen and an office with vaulted ceilings and built-ins. Sadly, you can only check out Michael Myers’ home from the outside, as the property currently houses a chiropractor’s office. Also, please remember that this is a private property and that — even though there’s no slasher Michael Myers around to get you — it’s important to respect the owners’ privacy and not tresspass.
In 2002, it was the setting of a live-feed internet reality program run by entrepreneur Freddie Harris. After Myers murdered almost all of the participants, the house was left abandoned again. Donald, Edith and Cynthia continued to live in the house after Judith's death and after Michael was sentenced to Smith's Grove Sanitarium. Edith and Donald would later move to Indiana due to the media frenzy and the rude stares they received. It wasn't until 1965 when Donald and Edith died in a car accident that the house was then put on the market while Cynthia was placed up for adoption and was eventually adopted by the Strodes. However, the house remained on the housing market for many years and fell into disrepair.

The success of "Halloween" has led to several remakes and sequels, most recently the upcoming 2021 horror film "Halloween Kills."

This backstory would be negated by Halloween Kills, where the house has been renovated instead of torn down.
