A film and TV buff has photographed hundreds of movie locations and compared them side-by-side with how they appeared on the silver screen.
Steve Peterson, 37, who lives in Florida, told MailOnline Travel that he has great fun hunting down the spots and friends and family enjoy seeing his comparison photos, which he uploads to his Instagram account @hollywood_irl.
To date he has travelled to Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Atlanta, Hawaii, Wilmington in North Carolina and Georgia to retrace the steps of some of his favourite screen stars, from Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump to Jake Gyllenhaal in Donnie Darko.
While some of the filming locations look markedly different - for instance, a bed of plants is in place of the famed bench in Forrest Gump and the McCallister mansion from Home Alone is unrecognisable without its Christmas garb - many of the spots look pretty much unchanged.
Some photos reveal how set designers cleverly transformed locations with a lick of paint or props. Scroll down to take a tour through some of the world's most well-known film sets, through Mr Peterson's lens...
The twinkling Home Alone house just outside Chicago where the McCallister family dwell
A photo of the real house in Winnetka, Illinois, used in the John Hughes classic taken by Steve in 2017. He said he was very disappointed that this was 'under construction and had this fence blocking the view, as well as security cameras and trespassing signs all over it'
Chippewa Square in Savannah, Georgia, is known for the famed bus stop bench scenes from Forrest Gump. In the opening shot of the film, a feather lands at the base of a bench and Tom Hanks, who plays the role of Forrest, starts to tell his life story
The bench that Tom Hanks sat on was actually a movie prop that has since been placed in the Savannah History Museum. But the location of the bench is still a popular spot for photographs. This image was taken in July 2017
American Horror Story: Murder House, which aired in 2011, follows the Harmon family, who move from Boston to a restored mansion in Los Angeles, unaware that the house is haunted by the ghosts of its former residents and their victims
Steve took a photo of the mansion this year while exploring Los Angeles. It looks much less spooky in real life, with manicured gardens and smart brickwork
To fans of the Back to the Future triology, this Los Angeles property is instantly recognizable as the house where Marty McFly lived. Though he lived in the fictional town of Hill Valley in California
The house is still almost identical to the one seen in the classic movie, bar some minor renovations to the windows and front door. This image was taken in 2016
A still from the 1989 movie Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade showing a zeppelin port exterior in Berlin
The real location of the zeppelin port is the Treasure Island Museum in San Francisco. The tower, cars, flags and signs were digitally added for the film. This image was taken in 2018
The property from the 1984 horror film A Nightmare on Elm Street, located at the fictional address of 1428 Elm Street in the fictitious town of Ohio
The actual house is a private home located in Los Angeles at 1428 North Genesee Avenue. Steve took the above image in 2016
A still from the 1990 dark fantasy film Edward Scissorhands showing the retro-styled Southgate Shopping Center in Florida, where several scenes were filmed
The design of the shopping mall remains the same, however a few new vendors have opened including a Japanese steakhouse and sake bar. This image was taken in August 2017
Michael Myers' house from the 1978 horror film Halloween, which was set in the fictitious town of Haddonfield, Illinois
The Halloween house is actually located in South Pasadena, California. Steve said when he visited the filming location in 2016, he found that it was home to a chiropractor's office. It has been given a fresh lick of paint since its film debut
A still from the classic 1990s sitcom Boy Meets World, showing the facade of the Matthews' house
A view of what the house looked like in July 2017, with more mature shrubs and trees in the garden. It was used for exterior shots in Boy Meets World, while the rest of the filming was done in the studio. The show was set in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, but this house is located in Studio City, California
A screen grab of Pee-Wee Herman's colourful home from the 1985 adventure comedy film Pee-Wee's Big Adventure
The house, which is located at 1846 Oxley Street in Arcadia, California, in September 2016
A still from the 2001 science fiction film Donnie Darko showing the grand home of motivational speaker Jim Cunningham, who was later discovered to be a paedophile
Donnie Darko was set in 1988 in Middlesex, Virginia, but was filmed entirely around Los Angeles. Above, is Cunningham's house in April 2017, with no visible changes. The mock-Tudor mansion is located at 4252 Country Club Drive in Long Beach
An exterior shot of the iconic Randy's Donuts building as featured in Iron Man 2. Tony Stark, known commonly by his alter ego, Iron Man, can be seen reclining in the hole of the donut
Although the scene in Iron Man 2 cut to show characters eating inside Randy's Donuts, this outlet in Inglewood, California, doesn't have seating and is in fact a drive-thru. This image was taken in September 2018

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
