OH MY GOD THE FIRST PERSON TO TURN UP WAS CALLED ANTHONY

sorry it's on while I'm searching for images

they aren't the same place but they're so similar I want to think they're the same

Combe Carey hall (Mentmore Towers, Buckinghamshire):

and the Traitors castle (Adross castle, Scottish Highlands):

I know they aren't the same but I keep thinking that they are and my little lockwood and co obsessed brain gets them muddled up

I've reuploaded an unfurnished Mentmore Towers, no major changes except the entrance hall will now behave as an interior cell and the floor won't frost over in the snow. Here are some images of the version I play with with my main save sim family!

Ok so I made this blog to talk about Lockwood and Co. even though I've never really posted anything before.

Anyways! I don't think anyone has pointed this out yet, but it looks like the real life building that's gonna be used for Combe Carey is called Mentmore Towers!

Here's it in the behind the scenes trailer:

And here's some additional Google images pictures:

The mummy movies

THE MUMMY MOVIES MOVIE

These films focus on the mummy named Kharis. These were later followed up in the spoof Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy (1955). Unlike Frankenstein and Dracula, and other Universal horror films, this film had no official sequels, but rather was semi-remade in The Mummy's Hand (1940) and its sequels: The Mummy's Tomb (1942), The Mummy's Ghost (1944), and The Mummy's Curse (1944). The sequence was cut from the film by Karl Freund due to time. The Saxon Warrior was originally part of a long flashback sequence showing all of Helen’s past lives from ancient Egypt to the present. Henry Victor is listed in the credits but never appears in the film. Zita Johann as Helen Grosvenor/Princess Ankh-es-en-Amon.Boris Karloff as Ardath Bey/Imhotep (billed as Karloff).Muller, Frank calls Helen back to the world of the living while the Scroll of Thoth continues to burn. This breaks the spell that had given Imhotep his immortality, causing him to age rapidly and then crumble to dust. The statue of Isis raises its arm and emits a beam of light that sets the Scroll of Thoth on fire. She is saved when she remembers her past life and prays to the goddess Isis to save her. Believing her to be Ankh-es-en-amon's reincarnation, he attempts to kill her, with the intention of mummifying her, resurrecting her, and making her his bride. Imhotep encounters Helen Grosvenor (Zita Johann), a woman bearing a striking resemblance to the Princess. The archaeologists find the tomb, give the mummy and the treasures to the Cairo Museum, and thank Ardath Bey for the information. He shows them where to dig to find Ankh-es-en-amon's tomb. He calls upon Sir Joseph's son Frank (David Manners) and Prof. Imhotep escapes from the archaeologists, taking the Scroll of Thoth, and prowls Cairo seeking the modern reincarnation of Ankh-es-en-amon.ġ0 years later, Imhotep is masquerading as a modern Egyptian named Ardath Bey. Despite Muller's warning, Sir Joseph's assistant Ralph Norton (Bramwell Fletcher) reads aloud an ancient life-giving scroll – the Scroll of Thoth. The usual scar made by the embalmers knife is not there." Sir Joseph Wimple responds, "I guessed as much." Muller then deduces that Imhotep was buried alive for sacrilege. Muller (Edward Van Sloan) inspects the mummy and exclaims "The viscera were not removed. Imhotep had been mummified alive for attempting to resurrect his forbidden lover, the princess Ankh-es-en-amon. 3.4 Reboot and shared cinematic universeĪn ancient Egyptian priest called Imhotep (Boris Karloff) is revived when an archaeological expedition in 1921, led by Sir Joseph Whemple (Arthur Byron), finds Imhotep's mummy.More recently, the Dockyard provided the ‘French’ streets for Les Misérables, ‘Pentonville Prison’ for Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes and the laundry for Suffragette.Īfter the ship goes down in flames, they come ashore at Frensham Ponds, another much-used location, on the A287 about five miles south of Farnham in Surrey. The port of ‘Giza’, where the party boards the Nile ship, is another large set, this time built at Chatham Historic Dockyard, Chatham, about 35 miles southeast of London, in Kent. It’s been empty for many years as various plans to turn it into a hotel have come to nothing, and not open to the public. Built in the 1850s for the Rothschild family, the house is seen also in Terry Gilliam’s Brazil, its exterior in Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut, and most famously as ‘Wayne Manor’ in Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins. While the exterior of the ‘Museum of Antiquities in Cairo’ is in Marrakech, its interior is that of Mentmore Towers in the village of Mentmore, Buckinghamshire. The locations are not all quite so exotic, though.

THE MUMMY MOVIES MOVIE

The same place became the villain's desert hideout in Bond movie Spectre. ‘Cairo’ of 1925 is Marrakech, and the lost city of ‘Hamunaptra’ was a vast set built at an old fort inside a dormant volcano crater about 12 miles southwest of Erfoud, in the southeast of the country. It’s set, naturally, in ‘Egypt’, but was filmed mainly in Morocco. The splurgy horror comedy revamp of the classic legend is a little too knee-deep in CGI effects, but went on to be enormously successful, spawning sequels and spin-offs.

Mentmore Towers

These two beautiful large scale paintings by Francois Boucher were painted as pendants, meant to be together. They are now displayed in different museums. "The Fishermen" on the left is in the Kunsthalle in Hamburg, Germany, "Lovers in a Park" on the right is in The Timken Museum in San Diego. Until the early 1960's they were together in Mentmore Towers, a private mansion in England built by a member of the Rothschild family.

ESTILO VICTORIANO

El estilo victoriano surgió en el siglo XIX para ser más específicos en 1837 en el país de Inglaterra por la reina victoria y terminó en 1901; durante su reinado ocurrieron diversas situaciones en todo los ámbitos como por ejemplo en el lado político se tuvo la guerra de crimea y la pacificación de India, en el área social surgieron innovaciones en la arquitectura optando por decoraciones más eclécticas y también en el transporte.

Victorianismo Medio: duro 1851-1873. La Gran Exposición celebrada en el Crystal Palace de Londres se considera el inicio de un largo periodo de estabilidad interna propiciado por la hegemonía que obtuvo el Reino Unido al ser el primer estado que culminó con éxito el proceso industrializador característico de este siglo en Occidente. 

Victorianismo tardío: duro 1873-1901. Carecían del derecho al sufragio y  ganaron el derecho a la propiedad después del matrimonio a través del Acta de Propiedad de las Mujeres Casadas, el derecho a divorciarse y el derecho a pelear por la custodia de sus hijos tras separarse de sus maridos.
