Society (1989)

 


Wrigley Mansion
Wrigley Mansion



The Whitney family's mansion in Society (1989) is the former Wrigley Mansion in Pasadena.  It is now the Tournament House for the Pasadena Tournament Of Roses Association.   The sorority house from Scream 2 (1997) where the party is held and Sidney is attacked is located on the next block over, right behind the mansion from Society.

Scream (1996) continued




A few more Scream (1996) locations...



Tatum and Dewey's House
Tatum and Dewey's House



Tatum and Dewey’s house is located just across the street from the house used in Hitchcock’s Shadow Of A Doubt (1943) and down the street from the Mableton Mansion, which was used in the movie Pollyanna (1960).  The made for TV remake of Shadow Of A Doubt (1991) was filmed in a house on the same block as the Scream house.  During the filming of the original Shadow Of A Doubt, the Scream house belonged to Judge Donald Geary, who became good friends with Hitchcock.  Hitchcock spent a lot of his spare time during filming relaxing on the same porch where Sidney and Tatum are seen in the movie.

Bradley Video



The next location is an interior only.  Bradley Video in Santa Rosa was used as the video store where Randy works.  Bradley Video closed a few years back and is now a Chinese food restaurant.

Sonoma Community Center



Woodsboro High School was filmed at the Sonoma Community Center.  They had originally planned to use Santa Rosa High School, but the school rejected them based on the film’s content.  They had to scramble to find a new location, as they were already in production when they lost the school.  If you watch in the end credits, it reads "No thanks whatsoever to the Santa Rosa School District Governing Board".

Healdsburg Plaza



The Fountain scene was filmed in the Healdsburg Plaza, a park located in the Healdsburg town square.  The fountain seen in the film is still there, though it is usually boarded up.

Scream (1996)




The main houses from Scream (1996) are all pretty isolated.  It must have made filming easier, keeping the production away from prying eyes. 



Casey Becker's House
Casey Becker's House



First up is Casey Becker’s house from the opening scene.  It is located pretty far back from the main road.  The production added the tree-swing in the front yard (seen in the first picture).  The owners liked the swing, and kept it there after the movie was finished.  Supposedly, there is still fake blood from the production on the swing.  One of the neighboring homes was used in the movie Cujo (1983) and the mini-series Roots (1977).  The path to the house is gated.

Sidney Prescott's House



Sidney’s house is also pretty far back from the road.  The property was known as the Rosita Ridge Ranch.  However, the property recently sold, so it could be going by another name now.  The path to this house is also gated.

Like the previous two houses, Stu’s house from the finale is also pretty far from the main road.  Rumors on the set were that the previous owners had died in the house shortly before filming.  The house has been renovated since filming.
