Well, everyone, it's that time of the year again!
Doors Open Hamilton!
I will be a tour guide at Auchmar again.
I decided to excivate this thread instead of starting a new one.
Unfortunately I wont get to see any Blake Holsey stuff this year, it will still be fun being at Black Hole high 
The next couple of pages are from last year... just to warn new people and stuff
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If anyone lives near Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, the Doors Open tour will be returning at the Auchmar Estate again this year! (This is where they filmed Strange Days at Blake Holsey High / Black Hole High)
I will be a tour guide!
Visit Doors Open for more details.

how big is Auchmar? the building, how many square feet?
and didn't you say the estate is about 3 - 5 acres? |

I have a better camera this year so i'll at least get better pictures anyway.
The main floor of the Auchmar House (where most of the filming takes place) is about 5000 square feet.
I'm not exactly sure how many acres there are but here is a satalite image of the property.
the bottom left is the Auchmar House and you can see how much more there is... that is the entire property. |

that's an odd pic, not sure what I was expecting to see.

how many levels are there? basement, 1st floor, and ?

Does it cost anything to go or do you have to register for it? or anything like that?

Auchmar House has 3 floors - basement, main and upper. Just like in the show!
(Only difference from the show is that the only way to get to the basement is in the back stage area.)
You do not have to pay to get in for this one weekend only.
You just show up and get a guided tour.

You said before that you had to be a tour guide to get into M/L's room. Does that still stand? :)Thanks |

They made it look like she went in one door to the basement and came out the other, which was odd. So I've always wondered where the two doors take you, what 'rooms' do they lead into?I wish there was a detailed blueprint of the Auchmar floor plan. I would totally love to see it.
yes, I can read blueprints, if anyone's wondering. |

Pop, remember in Cold, when Durst got slimed? Where do the double doors actually go?
They made it look like she went in one door to the basement and came out the other, which was odd. So I've always wondered where the two doors take you, what 'rooms' do they lead into?
I'll get some pictures of that.
The basement isn't very large at all.
It's mostly just hallways.
Its very dark and creepy.
About being able to go into the dorm rooms on the tour, as far as I know you are only able to tour the main floor.
I think mainly to keep the carpets clean.
The main floor is just wood/tiles.
Last year when I was there it was rainy so the carpets would have got pretty mucky. |

You know the extra door in the science lab? it goes to there. there is a little hallway!
I'll get some pictures of that.
be sure to note any other inside areas we might be interested in knowing about.
yay! pics.The basement isn't very large at all.
It's mostly just hallways.
Its very dark and creepy.
so it doesn't really look like they lead us to believe on BHH?
why is it just hallways? that's odd to have hallways that don't lead to something or somewhere.About being able to go into the dorm rooms on the tour, as far as I know you are only able to tour the main floor.
