Fun TV & Movie Locations in Pasadena

High school bully and tormenter of George McFly lived just down the street from Lorraine Baines. Mill Valley, CA is the setting for "Back to the Future" and it just seems right that all of the characters live in the same neighborhood IRL. Make it part of your Pasadena tour of filming locations. 

Little known fact: Scott Howard's house in the 1980s comedy flick "Teen Wolf" was also Lorraine Baine's childhood house in "Back to the Future." Mind blown, right? So head over to this South Pasadena neighborhood for a two-for-one deal!

It's hard to believe this charming Wedgwood blue house was envisioned as a house of horror by John Carpenter. In "Halloween," the house with the creepy jack-o'-lantern sitting on the porch was set in small-town Illinois. The film was shot in Pasadena. Once the fictitious home of movie serial killer Michael Myers, it now serves as a chiropractor's office.

Bushnell Street was used as the filming location for the houses of teenage Biff, Lorraine, and George. In the movie, the viewer doesn't see how close the houses are to each other as the film location was used more for convenience.

Coming of age in 1980s America was captured best by John Hughes. Andie is a girl who lives on the wrong side of the tracks in a Chicago suburb. Unbeknownst to the insufferable Steff McKee, her humble abode is now worth upwards of almost 7 figures in Los Angeles. Of course, it seems that any L.A. single-family house with at least two beds and one full bath costs about $1 mil....

Although Michael Myers' story unfolds in Illinois, the real house is located in a quiet suburb of Pasadena. At the time of filming in 1978, the house was abandoned. Located right next to a railroad, the house now serves as a massage parlor. Surprisingly, this SoCal location looks very much like a small Midwestern town. (Submitted by Christinagrim)

Gen X'ers remember Pee Wee Herman as having the coolest house EVER. Of course, this was before actor Paul Reubens became more famous for his later debacles. Although the Pasadena house is very real it doesn't have the gadgets and gizmos that were part of Pee Wee Herman's fame. But it is still a necessary stop if you're on a film-set road trip!

The super-charming canary yellow house from the comedy "Daddy Day Care" starring Eddie Murphy and Jeff Garlin is just as charming in real life. Of course, with a market value of almost $2 million it would be very hard for an unemployed dad to keep up with those mortgage payments even if he ran a daycare center out of it!

The stark contrast of suburbs to Vernita Green's prior life as an assassin are felt especially as she and The Bride have a violent fight right in the kitchen. This seemingly modest home is actually quite large at over 3000 square feet. It's not on the market now, but would cost a cool million if it were.

Hard to believe this quintessential American home was the setting for the 2007 reboot of Halloween. Of course, in the horror film the house was much more decrepit looking. The home of Mike Myers is a far cry from the million-dollar neighborhood. In a completely different genre, this house was also in the angsty teen series "My So-Called Life."

Built in 1908 for David B. Gamble (of Proctor and Gamble), this Pasadena home designed by architectural firm Greene and Greene is considered to be a paragon of the American Arts & Crafts style. Back to the Future fans will also recognize it as the home of time-hopping mad scientist Dr. Emmet Brown. Today, it’s owned by the city and the USC School of Architecture who annually select two ridiculously lucky...
