Tim Burton created the idyllic, fictional town of Spectre for his film Big Fish (2003) on Jackson Lake Island near Millbrook, Alabama. Complete with charming houses, a church, and fake trees, the whimsical set was partially left behind after filming. Located on private property, the styrofoam and wood structures have significantly decayed over the years, becoming a hauntingly beautiful ghost town. While access varies, Spectre remains a fascinating example of a purpose-built fantasy world slowly surrendering to the elements, embodying the film's themes of myth and memory.
