Port Lawrence High School
The Samuel Robertson Technical Secondary School in Maple Ridge doubled as the Port Lawrence High School.

The school's sports teams are actually called the Titans, and the mascot, Tommy Titan, is also a kind of Greek gladiator, but much less scary.

The Goosebumps season two locations

Stay Out of the Basement
A key location in the second season was filmed at the Battery Baker in Fort Totten in Queens, New York.

This historic military installation was built in the mid-19th century to protect the New York Harbor, but the 90s skyline was CGI'd into the scene.

Today, Battery Baker is not fully open to the public due to safety concerns, but parts of Fort Totten Park are accessible to visitors.

On February 22 all the set decor and wardrobe are to be auctioned off in Langley, BC, by Able Auctions. There is a huge warehouse full of stuff.
