Twilight

More recent history was made when the vampire movie Twilight was filmed in Kalama at the Kalama High School; “Where It’s Always Twilight”.

With its alluring mystery and old brick architecture, Kalama High School became the perfect setting for ‘Twilight,’ the teen drama that continues to steal young girls’ hearts and turn the fantasy world of vampires into a pop culture phenomenon.

Now vampires, movie sets and screaming fans have become the norm for the small community of Kalama. If you’re a ‘Twilight’ fan, be sure to stop by Kalama High School and take your picture in the parking lot where Edward and Bella once stood!

Some interesting ‘Twilight’ Filming Facts:

• The hospital scenes were actually shot in the Kalama High School wrestling room. During filming, the crew needed a large open space to construct a set of the hospital. March is off-season for wrestling so the room wasn’t in use and provided the perfect space.
• Although the Pacific Northwest is known for its rainy season, the pavement in the parking lot wasn’t wet enough on the day of filming the crash scene. To fix this problem, a large water truck was brought in to spray the area down.
