Dino De Laurentiis came to shoot Firestarter, liked the cheap labour and the range of scenery within an hour, and built a studio rather than leave. It became the largest film facility east of California, Blue Velvet, Dawson's Creek and a long run of others, and the local nickname is Wilmywood.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
