Aloha, and welcome to Uncle Steve's Honolulu Tours and Vintage Movies.
Steven Fredrick's Tours and FilmsResearching Hawaii's rich history has been a part of Steve's life since his relocation to the islands in 1994. While living on Maui, he stumbled upon hundreds of 16mm films that a local library had thrown away.
As a collector of South Seas movies, Steve researches films that were shot in the Hawaiian Islands. In July 1995, he launched "Classic Film Programs," a series of film-lectures focusing on the Hawaiian image in Hollywood movies.
While presenting a series of vintage film programs in Waikiki, Steve met entertainers who performed with Lena Machado and members of the Harry Owens orchestra.
Among Steve's heroes was Glen Grant, the creator of the Honolulu Ghost Walks. "Glen was a special man," said Fredrick. "A very unique storyteller. I took one of Glen's ghost tours and just loved it." Shortly after their meeting, Glen and Steve discussed the possibility of combining their interests for a haunted movie tour of Oahu. Unfortunately, this never came to be due to Grant's death.
Since April 2007, Steve has been taking guests on ghostly walking tours to haunted sights in downtown Honolulu. The Honolulu Ghost Tour, which combines Hawaiian history with local ghost stories, is popular with both locals and tourists alike.
In December 2007, Steve hosted a special movie and tour program "Hawaii During World War II: The Movies and The Music of the 1940s." The two-part program was highly successful. It sold out. Since then, Steve has offered the Hawaii Wartime History Tours on a regular basis.
Steve is the only State of Hawaii licensed ghost tour guide in Honolulu.

We launched the Charlie Chan Mystery Tour with great success. We interviewed several people who lived on Oahu during Hawaii's Wartime Years. Last but not least, we captured a real "live" ghost on film !!! Unbelievable, but true.
