Javier Botet as Dracula
The Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023) dir. André Øvredal
Built in 1947 along the Lincoln Highway in Kearney, Nebraska, The Hammer Motel was famous for its sign topped by a giant hammer and three supporting poles made to look like big nails.
It was sold in 1987 to Kearney State College (now University of Nebraska - Kearney) and was reopened as a residence hall. The university decided to demolish it in 1995 to make way for a parking lot, known as lot 27.
There is now a replica Hammer Motel sign outside of the Great Platte River Road Archway, honoring the old motel.
