Where Was The Conjuring Filmed?

Location 01

EUE/Screen Gems Studios

North Carolina, Wilmington Studio set

Filmed here: Most interior scenes including the house set built for the Perron home

This working studio in Wilmington housed the full-sized replica of the Perron farmhouse, where most interior scenes were shot. It remains an active production facility and is not open to the public for tours or visits, so fans should admire it from outside or simply note its role in film history. General film and TV tours of Wilmington often reference the studio's place in the local industry.

Location 02

405 Canetuck Road (Perron house exterior)

North Carolina, Currie Private property

Filmed here: Exteriors of the Perron family farmhouse

The exteriors of the Perron family farmhouse were filmed at this private residence on the Black River near Currie. It is not open to visitors, and the owners ask that people respect property boundaries. Fans can glimpse the rural character of the area from public roads, but the house itself should only be appreciated from a distance.

Location 03

First Baptist Church

North Carolina, Wilmington Outside only

Filmed here: Church exterior scenes

The exterior of this Wilmington church appears in church scenes in the film. It remains an active congregation, and the exterior can be viewed from the street at any time. Interior access is limited to services, so casual visitors should plan around worship times and enjoy the facade from the sidewalk.

Location 04

University of North Carolina Wilmington

North Carolina, Wilmington Free to see

Filmed here: Classroom scenes

Classroom scenes were filmed on this public university campus during spring break in March 2012. Unlike most locations on this list, the campus is openly visitable during regular hours, making it one of the easiest stops for fans. Walk the grounds freely and imagine the empty halls doubling for the film's school interiors.

Location 05

Carolina Apartments

North Carolina, Wilmington Outside only

Filmed here: Haunted apartment exteriors and trash can scene

This residential building in Wilmington supplied the haunted apartment exteriors and the memorable trash can scene. It is private housing today, so access means viewing the exterior from public streets only. It sits near First Baptist Church, so the two stops pair naturally on a walking route through the neighborhood.

Location 06

St. James Episcopal Church

North Carolina, Wilmington Outside only

Filmed here: Office and attic interior scenes

This historic Wilmington church provided office and attic interior scenes for the film. Public access is limited outside of services, so most visitors will experience it from the exterior. Its location in the historic core of the city places it within easy walking distance of other filming spots, including First Baptist Church.

Location 07

The Carolinian Inn

North Carolina, Wilmington Outside only

Filmed here: Motel/hotel scenes

The motel and hotel scenes in The Conjuring were shot at this Wilmington inn. It is a private business, and the exteriors are visible from the street, which is the appropriate way to see it. A quick drive-by or sidewalk pause is enough to recognize the building from the film's quieter interludes.

Location 08

Currie area (Black River)

North Carolina, Currie Free to see

Filmed here: Surrounding landscapes and river views near Perron house

The rural landscapes and river views surrounding the Perron house location were captured around Currie. Public roads and river access points make this the most scenic and legally accessible part of the Conjuring trail. A slow drive through the area conveys the isolation that defines the film's atmosphere, no trespassing required.
