Shortly after filming for “The Killing” ended, a new production company set up and were filming a pilot for TV. I didnt get the name of the show, but below are a couple of photos I took in early April 2014…

  1. Just wondering where at Buntzen is the house located? I’ve read about it before and heard it’s still there. Also, have you gone to the old Powerhouses? If so, is there a post about it?

    Thank you

  2. The only thing resembling a house at Buntzen Lake is the Warden’s office, just off the parking lot.
    I have not gone down to the powerhouses – access is restricted.

  3. I thought I read somewhere online the cabin from the movie was still located somewhere at Buntzen?

  4. There was a cabin just a few minutes past the north end of the lake at McCombe lake. I believe it was from the movie Lake Placid back in 1999 but they tore it down last year. Too bad cause it was really a cool place to visit.
