Wednesday Season 2 Teaser Trailer Filming Locations
Yup, you read that correctly, I've already found exterior locations from the Wednesday Season 2 Teaser Trailer. You can watch my video about it on YouTube:
youtube
or just read along below & I'll tell you where they're located.
The first is the above image of the Addams clan driving Wednesday & Pugsley to Nevermore, which we see across a lake. I found this by feeding the above image into Google reverse image search & the second hit gave me a photo taken at the same spot:
Tumblr media
This is Lough Tay in Ireland:
Tumblr media
The top red circle is where Nevermore is located & the bottom red circle is where the Addams' car is driving on the road. The GPS coordinates of the exact spot are 53.101545, -6.263843. I'm not sure if this spot is private property but you can park nearby on Wicklow Way & hike to the exact spot in just 10 minutes. I'd be quick about it just in case it's private (it's probably private).
Tumblr media
The other exterior is the new Pilgrim World, which I'd already speculated in an earlier post would be at the location they selected, so I'm pleased with that particular bit of Magic 8 Balling.
Tumblr media
Above is the shot of Pilgrim World from the teaser & I recognized it in a millisecond. This is a standing exterior set at Ashford Studios in County Wicklow located at GPS coordinates 53.023364, -6.103246. Pay attention to the 6 tower palisade in the background & the 'T' shaped bridge in the foreground.
Tumblr media
Above is a Google street view of the 6 towered palisade & in the below image, circled in red, you can see the palisade as well as the 'T' shaped bridge.
Tumblr media
And all the studio interiors you see in the teaser were either shot at Ashford Studios or Ardmore Studios in Bray (below image) GPS 53.196355, -6.125976, but this has been known since it was first announced that Wednesday Season 2 would be filming in Ireland.
Tumblr media
I killed myself trying to find the airport filming location, but as it is only shown as interior shots, no luck.

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:
Tumblr media
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:
Tumblr media
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:
Tumblr media
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).
Tumblr media
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:
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
The 5 Houses:
Tumblr media
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:
Tumblr media
Agent Carter's House:
Tumblr media
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:
Tumblr media
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:
Tumblr media
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:
Tumblr media
The Library:
Tumblr media
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:
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
Camera House:
Tumblr media
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:
Tumblr media
The Morgue:
Tumblr media
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:
Tumblr media
Insane Asylum:
Tumblr media
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:
Tumblr media
And here are shots of those locations, although the camera is angled 90 degrees from Carrie Ann's location:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jogging Garage:
Tumblr media
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:
Tumblr media
Longlegs Surrenders:
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
Interrogation room:
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
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. :-)

Just a few pics of my very gothic, wrought iron yule tree.
Tumblr media
Black ornaments with silver highlights, silver bead string, acrylic icicles, & red lights decorate it.
Tumblr media
And, of course, it's crowned with a black pentagram.
Tumblr media
My stocking is hung on a bookcase with care,
Tumblr media
In the hopes that Santa (or Krampus) soon will be here!
Merry Winter Solstice, Yule, Gothmas, Hexmas, & Creepmas to all!

This gave me a chuckle. So, of course, I had to find the real location because I'm wired that way:
Tumblr media
And reality disappoints, yet again. Located at 1007 S. Elder St. Nampa, ID 83686. If you happen to live nearby, feel free to visit the office and encourage them to change their name to match the meme!
