Carlsbad, New Mexico - "The Gargoyles" Motel

It's an old, now abandoned motel (I vaguely remember white adobe-looking buildings). It appeared in a scene in the movie "The Gargoyles" where some gargoyles jump on top of a station wagon and start clawing through the roof, while a woman inside screams. We frequented Carlsbad when I was a kid, and my twisted older brother made it a point to point out the motel everytime we passed it. I never did believe him until I saw "The Gargoyles" myself. It's been years since I've been out that way, so I don't know if it is even still standing. [Jeff Riley, 11/25/2001]
