The movie "Twilight" was mainly filmed in the Pacific Northwest, not in the actual town of Forks, Washington, where the story is set. Key filming locations include:
- Kalama High School in Kalama, Washington, used for exterior shots of Forks High School.
- Madison High School in Portland, Oregon, for interior high school scenes.
- The Cullen house scenes were filmed in Portland, Oregon.
- Various outdoor scenes were shot in Oregon locations like Silver Falls State Park and Ecola State Park.
- Some parts, such as the tree scene of Edward and Bella, were filmed at 218 Rim Drive, Washougal, Columbia River Gorge, Washington.
- The View Point Inn near Corbett, Oregon, for the prom scene.
- The Swan house and other town scenes were filmed in St. Helens, Oregon.
- Mount St. Helens and Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument in Washington were also used.
No scenes were filmed in the actual Forks town because filmmakers felt it lacked the desired atmosphere, so they chose locations in Oregon and Washington that better matched the film's mood.
