This tiny Oregon town is famous for "Twilight" and "Halloweentown" filming spots. Here are 5 you can visit.

St. Helens, a small town in Oregon, is well-known among movie enthusiasts for its appearances in two popular films: Twilight and Halloweentown. This town of less than 20,000 people has captured the attention of Hollywood, thanks to its picturesque locations. Located about 45 minutes from Portland by car, St. Helens offers a unique experience for fans of these films.

Throughout the year, tourists can visit the town to admire the various filming locations. However, during the fall season, St. Helens hosts the Spirit of Halloweentown Festival, which runs from late September through November 1. This event brings back the iconic scenes from Halloweentown through special guests, lighting ceremonies, and nighttime parties.

Fans of Twilight can also visit several themed shops in St. Helens that sell movie memorabilia. These shops include Sweet Starling Co. and Experience Twilight, where visitors can collect memorabilia and relive the hit saga.

Two key locations in St. Helens have been featured in both Twilight and Halloweentown. The Columbia County courthouse serves as the town square in Halloweentown and has been used in multiple scenes, including Marnie's discovery of the town and the film's finale. The courthouse is still in operation today.

Another significant location is Bella Swan's house, which is now a functioning vacation rental. Bella and Edward famously dined at a restaurant in the town, but the actual restaurant was never real. The building at 330 S. 1st Street in St. Helens now serves as a mixed-use residential building with commercial space on the first floor and living space above.
