Stetson Trivia Question 3

Most of us know that the movie The Waterboy was filmed in DeLand and Debary, utilizing several Stetson locations as sets. Did you know that two other movies have been filmed on campus? Which one of the following movies was also filmed at Stetson?

a. Ghost Story
b. Estás nominado: Cuando la realidad supera a la ficción
c. From the Earth to the Moon
d. Days of Thunder

The answer is A, Ghost Story!

Ghost Story is a 1981 American horror film based on the book of the same name by Peter Straub. It is directed by John Irvin and it stars Fred Astaire, Melvyn Douglas, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., John Houseman and Craig Wasson. Another film with Stetson scenery is The First of May (1999) a movie also based on a novel about an unwanted boy and a forgotten old lady who find that running away to join the circus is really coming home. Estás nominado: Cuando la realidad supera a la ficción, a 2005 Spanish TV show, and From the Earth to the Moon, a 1998 TV miniseries also used the campus for some scenes. Days of Thunder, a 1990 Tom Cruise movie, did film in both Daytona and DeLand, however not on campus.
