I rewatched it because I wasn't sure if I actually liked the movie or it was just nostalgic, because we used to hang out on the Riverview grounds as teenagers.
I live near by and everyone I’ve known who has worked there more recently on film sets has the same story that it’s haunted af. it’s such a beautifully eerie building
Technically Coquitlam. My friends and I spent so many nights on these grounds as teenagers... just had to keep it down and not attract the security guards. There are a ton of dilapidated buildings on the grounds.
My grandfather died there. I've never been too stoked on how flippant people around here are about the place, film industry types and their "stay overnight there as a right of passage" stuff.
Its gorgeous
Was this location used in the X Files?
Probably a hundred times. And Supernatural. And Deadpool 2. And a million other movies and tv shows…
Butterfly effect?
Yup, Sunnyvale Institution.
Grave encounters?
Yeah. I actually just rewatched that the other day...
I love that movie!

I knew this looked familiar
The episode with the old people ghosts right?
It was
Yes and many other shows, supernatural also
The Outer Limits, during the intro song
And the episode with Ryan Phillippe.
Love abandoned asylums!
How do you feel to look back at a place you once belonged to, now abandoned? It's forgotten, but you haven't...
It's the same feeling as working at Enron.
Any interior photos? A spine-chilling place (and photo)

I don’t think they mean haunted in a literal sense.
Maybe. Maybe not
Liiks like a serene and uplifting place to ease your troubled mind
Didn't the term "insane" asylum fade out in the late 1800s?
I work on a psych unit at a hospital now. No one would ever call it that anymore.
Great for backdrops and eerie footage 👍
Exactly what it is now. Photo ops and movie shoots. They rebuilt a new mental hospital right beside it.
That's genuinely good to know
I would 100% live in this place.
“Work” there….
My grandpa was a patient there shortly before he died in the 1960s.
Starter home...
I'd buy it and move in if I could
I’ve walked up those steps. My ex-girlfriend’s sister was a patient there and we went to visit her.
With respect to the patients, genuinely, that place was wild. The human mind is the final frontier.
They really used to make jails nicer than actual fucking houses didn’t they?
Let me come home !!! Its purrrrfect
Was this in supernatural?

I think I remember this place from an episode of Highlander.

I work there on ocassion.🎥
That’s a pretty structure. I bet it was really impressive when it was cared for.
Snuck in here once back in high school. Climbed in through a ground level window. I'm still traumatized
Ghost stories?
