About the Space

Step into cinematic history at The Historic Harris House, a 1902 Victorian landmark in Glendale that’s ideal for horror films, vampire tales, werewolf transformations, haunted house thrillers, period dramas, or even a nostalgic Christmas movie with a timeless “Everytown USA” backdrop. The residence is styled in an atmospheric, gothic aesthetic, filled with antiques, curiosities, and ornate details that make it instantly film-ready. With its moody interiors, dramatic architecture, and surprises around every corner, the house provides high production value for horror, fantasy, and period-piece storytelling. Though located in the city, the moment you enter you’re transported into another era. The home showcases an extraordinary amount of handcrafted woodwork, plaster walls, chandeliers, and 12 ft. ceilings, offering a cinematic richness perfect for gothic mansions, haunted houses, or Victorian dramas. The second floor retains its original 1902 wood floors and includes a rare “boarding house” style 1940s bathroom—perfect for historical accuracy or eerie vintage settings. For filmmakers seeking night scenes, the location is designed for easy day-for-night shooting. Heavy blackout curtains and mature trees surrounding the property naturally block light, allowing full control over atmosphere—ideal for vampire lairs, supernatural rituals, or suspenseful horror sequences. The property offers 3,446 sq. ft. across two levels plus a finished 500 sq. ft. brick basement, perfect for subterranean scenes, creature transformations, or dark suspense setups. Whether you’re staging a chilling haunted house, a romantic Victorian drama, or a cozy Christmas scene, The Historic Harris House adapts to your vision. Arrange a scout and experience firsthand why this house has become one of the most unique and versatile filming locations in Los Angeles.

    I recently had the pleasure of shooting my latest movie at "The Well Curated Craftsman With Basement," and I cannot speak highly enough about this location. The home itself is a gem, exuding a rich atmosphere and character that significantly enhanced our scenes. Each room is thoughtfully designed, providing a plethora of visually interesting backdrops that worked seamlessly for our project. A special shoutout to Robert, the location owner, who was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. From the moment we arrived, Robert made my cast and crew feel genuinely welcomed. His support and accommodating nature ensured our shoot went off without a hitch. Whether you’re working on a horror film, a period piece, or any other genre, "The Well Curated Craftsman With Basement" offers a versatile and evocative setting that can elevate your project. I highly recommend this location to fellow filmmakers seeking a space that is both visually stunning and managed by a top-notch host.
