Lisa Frankenstein Filming Locations

“It is true, we shall be monsters, cut off from all the world; but on that account we shall be more attached to one another.” ― Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

As promised, here are some of the filming locations for Lisa Frankenstein. As I just saw Kathryn Newton at Spooky Empire in Orlando this past weekend, I decided to stalk filming locations for some of her cooler movies. Or you can just watch the video I made, which covers all the locations but it goes into much less detail:

I found most of the locations on my own, but then received a location list from a person on the film's production team which confirmed the ones I'd already found and gave me the ones I was missing. Big thank you to that person!

***Spoilers below***

We'll start with Lisa's home which is located at 2552 Cypress Lawn Dr, Marrero, LA 70072. The shed in the back yard for the tanning booth is really part of the property, & can just be seen from the street (circled in red in second image).

Now, if you go there, remember, THIS IS PRIVATE PROPERTY. Perfectly fine to admire it from the street, but do not trespass, do not knock on the door, do not ask for a tour, & do not ask if Lisa is home. Please. Now, if the folks living there say 'Hey' & invite you in when they see you in the street taking selfies with the house, that's another thing entirely - but otherwise, low profile it.

Although they filmed a little bit inside the real house, at least for the scenes where Creature first arrives, most of the house interiors were filmed on a sound stage which I know thanks to Zelda Williams posting this photo:

And that sound stage is The University of New Orleans Nims Center Studio located at 800 - 824 Distributors Row in New Orleans. I know this because of this picture from a behind the scenes video showing the entire cast & crew taking a group photo with two distinct architectural features circled. The next image is a Google street view of the same location with those features also circled.

Per the locations list, the party house Lisa & Taffy go to early in the film is located at 12565 Patterson Rd, New Orleans, LA 70131, which I've confirmed via location detail on Google maps:

And the high school is Belle Chase high school at 8346 LA-23, Belle Chase, LA 70037, which I've also confirmed via architectural detail:

The exteriors for Bachelor's Grove Cemetery & the woods around it, the wooded paths, & the bench scenes all take place in Brechtel Park, which is located in the Algiers neighborhood of New Orleans.

The park offers roads for driving scenes as well as thick woodland with vines & dense ground cover for the cemetery set - which, sadly, was entirely fake. Below is the exact location of Bachelor's Grove.

Bachelor's Grove is located at GPS coordinates 29.9100534 -90.0124431. The easiest way to get there is to take an asphalt sidewalk that you'll find about 100 feet to the right of the entrance. That sidewalk will take you around the north edge of the park and then turn left (south) where you will look for the 2nd marked trail. Follow that trailfor about 50 feet and you'll find a second marked tree, which I call the Twisted Tree, and you're in Bachelor's Grove.

Moving along, the scene at 1:17:37 in the film where Creature goes to retrieve Janet's (Lisa's step-mom's) car and kills the mean old man who is harassing the kid who can't start a lawn mower, was filmed at the south dead end of Dede Street in Marrero, LA at GPS 29.855776, -90.093451.

Rather pleased with myself for finding that one - not easy.

Creature then returns to just outside Bachelor's Grove, which again was filmed in Brechtel Park, with precise location circled in the third image.

Lisa & Taffy arrive there & Lisa psychs herself up to go into the cemetery to kill Creature at GPS 29.906104, -90.009096

This is still in Brechtel Park, they just moved the cars about 30 feet to the west & spun the camera around - the dead giveaways are those posts along the road & the two small hills in the background.

Lisa then runs down a wide, woodland path.

This photo of one of Brechtel Park's wide, wooded paths is the same path, located at GPS 29.908912, -90.011958.

And here's that spot circled below:

When Dale, Lisa's dad (played by Joe Chrest, who also plays the Wheeler's dad on Stranger Things), & Taffy visit Lisa's grave at the end, they are standing in the southern section of Carrollton Cemetery in New Orleans, at GPS 29.947097, -90.121813.

The reason they used this location is because Carrollton is one of the few New Orleans cemeteries that has a large section where all the graves are below ground, as this movie is supposed to be taking place near Chicago.

As for how I know they used this specific location, I have a wine bottle shaped tombstone to thank for that. In the below image, we see that odd tombstone from the front.

And here we see it from the back, as I wasn't able to get a clear image of it from the same perspective of the above image:

Also rather proud of that find.

And the final scene on the bench is also in Brechtel Park at the location circled on the map, GPS 29.909290, -90.010784.

So the only significant filming location I can't find is Michael's red brick colonial, but whatever. Found Michael's house, too!

Anyway, here's to hoping we all find that special someone who was reanimated just for us. 🦇🖤🦇

Longlegs Filming Locations

Here are all the filming locations from Longlegs I've been able to scene stalk. I made a video about it if you'd prefer to listen to me say "uh..." a hundred times: https://youtu.be/NQrdn4czh-c . But listing them in a blog allows search engines to find them so the info can be better dispersed. I'll give the locations roughly in the order they appear in the film. I can only post so many images, so I'll just have to give addresses for some places without a pic.

Needless to say, SPOILERS AHEAD.

The significant locations I can't find are the Bar, Harker's cabin, The Green Murder House, & the paint/hardware store.

Should you choose to visit any of these locations, these are all private property - do not trespass or harass. Stay on the street / sidewalk for those selfies. The library is the sole public property exception as it is a local government building. So feel free to visit it during normal business hours. I'm sure the librarians would be happy to take a few minutes to tell tales of the filming.

Ruth's house:

This is the first location to appear & the last I found. It's actually a wedding venue that's part of a golf course located at 3834 248 St, Langley Twp, BC V4W 2B3, Canada. Here's a google maps view:

Everything that occurs in & around Ruth's house takes place on this property, with the likely exception of the basement, which I don't think was here as this small house doesn't seem to have a basement with a window as is shown in the film.

FBI office, morgue, insane asylum, 5 matching houses, & jogging garage:

In the end credits they list Salish Locations "The Garrison" so this was an easy find. Salish Locations is a company that owns a number of locations they rent to film productions companies, so Longlegs made heavy use of "The Garrison" located at 4050 W 4th Ave, Vancouver, BC V6R 1Z6, Canada. You can find their location website here: https://www.salishlocations.com/locations.html

This is an old military base, perhaps air force?, but the Longlegs production team made heavy use of it. Every scene that takes place at the FBI office was filmed here, as well as the insane asylum, the morgue, the 5 matching houses, the jogging garage, & possibly the basement from Ruth's house (that last one is just a guess).

Although the exact rooms they used in the film are not the ones shown on the website, they are similar enough that you can clearly see they shot in that wing of the building. The exposed sprinklers on the ceiling, the hanging fluorescent lights, the wall heaters, & wood paneling all match up.

For a low budget film, this location was a boon to the film company, I'm sure, as it served as their production studio for a greatly reduced cost.

Serial Killer Condos:

This was a pain in the ass to find as every other 2-level condo complex in the Vancouver metro looks the same, but I managed. It's called Spencer Green located at 21138 88 Ave, Langley Twp, BC. As it is private property, Google couldn't street view inside it, but by standing just outside one of the entrances, you can match up the unique structural elements such as the round vents by the gables, the dual chimney pipes, & the mini-tower bay window extension.

The 5 Houses:

After Harker gets her psychic test at the FBI, we get the scene with her, Agent Carter, & Agent Browning sitting in a car in front of the location of a Longlegs killing which is one of 5 duplicate houses. This is part of "The Garrison" at 3926-3932 Ortona Crescent, Vancouver, BC. There is an exact match for this location in the Salish Locations website photos:

Agent Carter's House:

After the agents leave the bar I can't find, Agent Harker drives Agent Carter back to his house (the image above is from later in the film just because it's daylight & you can see the location better). Now, I didn't think I'd ever find this, but sometimes I luck out. Again, we need to jump way ahead because I found this house via this brief scene at the end of the film where Ruth gets shot at Agent Carter's house. She's sitting in front of a window that gives a clear view of the houses across the street:

One of which is orange. And just by dumb luck, while I was looking for something else, I stubbled across the orange house when I was street crawling. Here's the same view on google maps:

Which makes Carter's house the one across the street at 2340 204a St, Langley Twp, BC. We never really get a good view of Carter's house, so I'll just match up with the image above of Harker in her car sitting in Carter's driveway:

The Library:

After Harker leaves the green murder house (which I can't find), Harker goes to the world's coolest library to do some demonic research & as luck would have it, they used a real library. Just over Harker's right shoulder, in the distance & out of focus, is what looked to me like a large clock face. And in this next image, we get a good look at a very distinct carpet pattern on the floor:

So, assuming this was a real library, I just checked which ones in the Vancouver, Langley Township, & Maple Ridge had clocks near them. The main library branch in Maple Ridge at 22470 Dewdney Trunk Rd, Maple Ridge, BC, has a clock just to the east in perfect line of shot. Then I found an online image of the interior to match the carpet, plus I emailed the library to confirm that Longlegs filmed there, & they confirmed it. Below is the same exact location where Harker is sitting, just during the day & showing the carpet.

Camera House:

Next, Harker & Carter head off to the Camera house, the only one of Longlegs' murders to have a survivor, Carrie Ann Camera. This location was also a pain to find because it's located in an area google doesn't yet have in 3D view, so I had a devil of a time matching it up, but it's located at 2420 256 St, Aldergrove, BC at the end of a long driveway:

The Morgue:

Harker & Carter take the doll they find in the Camera barn back to the FBI lab/morgue to examine it. This is somewhere in the basement of the Salish Garrison building & I can match it up with a similar room, possibly the same room with the windows covered:

Insane Asylum:

Harker & Carter then head off the the insane asylum to interview Carrie Ann Camera & this is also shot in the Salish Garrison & I have shots of the very room they used, which is an "L" shaped room with an accordion blind at one end. Above we see Carrie Ann's shots & below are Harker's shots. For Harker, you can clearly see the accordion blind drawn closed behind her:

And here are shots of those locations, although the camera is angled 90 degrees from Carrie Ann's location:

Jogging Garage:

After a long series of locations I've already gone over, Harker meets up with Carter while he's jogging my this garage above, which is also at the Salish Garrison site:

Longlegs Surrenders:

I'm really proud of finding this spot because I lined up the friggin mountains in the background as well as a building off to the right (not visible in the above image) to match it up. It's located on a street that runs the Canada/US border at precisely 49°00'08.3"N 122°29'45.4"W. The camera is facing south here & if Nick Cage so much as takes one step back, he'd be standing in the US.

Interrogation room:

I don't have an exact match for the interrogation room, but I know it's inside the Salish Garrison because of the exposed sprinklers & hanging fluorescent lights match, plus, when they open the door, you can see the below hallway, which is definitely in the Garrison building.

Then there are a couple of quick driving scenes, one when Longlegs leaves the paint/hardware store that takes place at 49°00'08.3"N 122°30'43.7"W with the camera facing north - I matched up the barn & a green building that was torn down shortly after they finished filming, & a couple of scenes where longlegs & then Harker drive by some equestrian fencing & enter a wooded area which is at 49°14'19.5"N 122°31'34.4"W with the camera facing west & south west.

I thought Harker's cabin would for sure be the cabin in North Vancouver that everyone uses for everything, but they don't match up.

If you happen to know where the bar, Harker's cabin, the green murder house, or the paint / hardware store are located, please leave a comment here, or on the youtube video, & if I can confirm, I'll add the location to this & credit you for your find. :-)

New Tales of Florida Gothic - Chapter 6

"Despite my ghoulish reputation, I really have the heart of a small boy. I keep it in a jar on my desk." Robert Bloch

Whenever a freshly dug grave appears in your yard, you know it's time to kill again.

Although not native to Florida, many swamp witches cultivate Aspen trees for use as an extra set of eyes.

With basements so uncommon in Florida, most police never think to look for hidden trapdoors.

Something has been clawing at the trees in the swamp behind your house. A direct challenge to your territorial hunting grounds that cannot go unanswered.

Florida homes that survive hurrricanes unscathed are usually protected by the old gods, not the new.

Warning signs in Florida should be taken seriously. Very seriously.
