While North Carolina has some postcard-worthy sights to see, it also holds a variety of horror movie filming locations. The state is a perfect setting for any scary movie since its scenic towns and rich history can bring any story to life. If you’re a horror movie fanatic, stopping at the filming locations for these four movies is a must for Halloween! ‘Halloween Kills’ You may have witnessed some familiar landscapes if you watched the 2021 sequel to this legendary franchise. “Halloween Kills” shot plenty of scenes in Wilmington, with the terrifying Michael Myers wielding his kitchen knife throughout the city. In particular, check out Wallace Park and Veterans Park, where multiple gruesome outdoor scenes were filmed! In the film, Mick’s Bar and Grill is actually The Rusty Nail, a pub where you can jam out to blues tunes and sip a cold beer. To finish up your “Halloween”-themed tour, head to the Museum of the Bizarre, where you can take a photo next to Michael Myers! ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ Southport is the filming site for this seaside horror flick from 1997. “I Know What You Did Last Summer” features a hook-wielding killer and some of Southport’s most famous spots that still stand strong today! You can visit the Amuzu Theatre, where Sarah Michelle Gellar is crowned as the beauty pageant queen, or drink by the seaside at the American Fish Company, the film’s fictional Ollie’s Oyster Bar. ‘Scream’ The 2022 fifth installment of the “Scream” franchise was filmed in Wilmington, just like “Halloween Kills”! The legendary trio — Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette — can be seen walking (and running) all around Wilmington. You can visit the Wilmington Riverwalk, where Sidney first receives a call from Ghostface, or Reggie’s 42nd Street Tavern, where filming also took place! ‘The Conjuring’ Featuring real-life tales from paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, “The Conjuring” was the start of a new horror franchise in 2013. In this film, a family is terrorized by demonic evil in their new countryside home. This large, spooky residence in Currie along the Black River is the central location in the film and offers an extremely eerie atmosphere, but you can also visit the Carolina Apartments, UNC Wilmington’s campus, and the Carolinian Inn, where a few other scenes were shot. Plenty more horror movies were filmed in North Carolina, including “Cabin Fever,” “Hannibal,” and “Evil Dead,” so your horror movie tour doesn’t have to end here!
