Where was The Mortuary Collection filmed?
Astoria is a gorgeous city overlooking the Columbia River, filled up with magnificent Victorian-era buildings. Travel Oregon highlights the Scandinavian flavor of this picturesque settlement surrounded by forests and hills, located a stone’s throw away from the Pacific Ocean. The movie's opening shows the 1913's Astoria Riverfront Trolley passing by Riverwalk and 14th Street.

The paperboy cycles on his rounds in Franklin Ave. The Seaport Lodge is the Masonic Temple where sections of episode two, starring Jacob Elordi (The Kissing Booth, Euphoria) and Ema Horvath (Don't Look Deeper and the new The Lord of the Rings series), were filmed. Pictured below, the historic Grace Episcopal Church located just across the street. Image courtesy of TrapDoor Pictures - Map
The Raven's End Mortuary is the Captain George Flavel House Museum. Built in 1885, this is one of Astoria's top local landmarks. The manor is one of the best preserved examples of Queen Anne architecture west side of the Rockies. It was about to be torn down a couple of times to make way for a parking lot. Nowadays this 11,600 square feet property is a museum managed by the Clatsop County Historical Society.

Sandra's house (Ema Horvath) is the Lincoln Avenue Methodist Church. Built in 1897 in Pasadena, the temple was disassembled in six big pieces in 1981 and moved to the Heritage Square Museum in the Montecito Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles. The beautifully ornate stained glass windows were stolen just before the relocation. Since the 1960s, this open-air architecture museum has saved eight historic buildings from demolition thanks to a group of prominent citizens.

The exteriors of the tall building featured in the third chapter, where Wendell Owens (Barak Hardley) takes care of his comatose wife, is the John Jacob Astor Hotel in downtown Astoria. Featuring Art Deco and Gothic elements, the building has gone down in history for being the site used for the first cable TV system, just after World War II. Image courtesy of Mark Hogan - Map
Dr. Kubler's house featured in The Babysitter Murders episode is also part of the Heritage Square Museum. The 1887 Hale House was beautifully restored, inside and out in 1970. Originally located in the Highland Park neighborhood of LA, this is considered the most photographed house in the entire city. Image courtesy of Kansas Sebastian - Map

I use to live in Astoria and have visited both the Flavel House and the old jail across the street quite a few times. They're nothing short of amazing. I highly recommend it!
