Posted by Ra Moon
'It's us,' says the family's child staring at the quartet of doppelgängers. Jordan Peele, the acclaimed writer-director of Get Out, is back with a new psychological horror movie.
Us is a chilling tale about the Wilsons, a family of four, facing creepy versions of themselves while on a vacation to a beach resort town.
Most of the exterior scenes of Us were filmed in Santa Cruz (California).

The actors had to play two different roles, sometimes in the same scene. Lupita Nyong'o (Black Panther) plays Adelaide, who goes back to her hometown many years after she had a strange experience there when she was a young girl.
Winston Duke (who played M'Baku in the Avengers films) is her husband Gabe. The siblings of the couple are performed by young actors Shahadi Wright Joseph (Zora) and Evan Alex (Jason).
Completing the main cast are the family's old friends the Tylers, played by Elisabeth Moss as Kitty (The Handmaid's Tale) and Tim Heidecker as Josh.
Here is our spoiler-free guide to the filming locations of Us.
The oceanfront scenes were filmed in Main Beach. Opened in 1907, amusement park Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk features vintage attractions like the Giant Dipper roller coaster and the Looff Carousel.

Santa Cruz is actually a charming seaside town, located 75 miles south of San Francisco.
Lonely Planet describes the city as a place 'famous for its leftie-liberal politics and easygoing ideology'. Pictured, a scene filmed in the street behind the Haunted Castle.

ReplyDeleteThanks, this was quick!
DeleteWe need that house address! Come on, someone has to know.
ReplyDeleteYeah where is this house?
DeleteThe lake scenes were filmed in Crestline,CA on Lake Gregory
ReplyDeleteFor those wishing to come to The Santa Cruz Beach boardwalk and search for the 'House of Mirrors' just off the sand, you know the spot where it ALL Began, unfortunately that 'Spot' doesn't exist... But it sure would have been a great move by The Santa Cruz Beach and Boardwalk to add it. Right?
ReplyDeleteIt would have been a great idea... i was there yesterday... FRIGHT WALK UNDER THE BOARDWALK looks like its commemorating the movie... its located just beyond the main entrance
DeleteSome of the "Boardwalk" shots appear to have been filmed at Twin Lakes beach. When the camera is facing west, you can see the entrance to the harbor and the Walton lighthouse which can be seen to the east in the above Seabright picture.
ReplyDeleteThe house is at 365 seagull road lake gregory surburban
ReplyDeleteI Love that house... Well what I've seen on the movies.😁😁
DeleteThat address doesn’t make sense. Everywhere I’ve read, the house is mentioned to be located in Pasadena but I can’t find an address anywhere.
ReplyDeleteLupita Nyong’o is not in the Walking Dead
ReplyDeleteThe house has been discovered finally. It can be found at 2256 Villa Heights Rd in Pasadena. You’re welcome!
