Filming locations
Where was Near Dark (1987) filmed?
3 locations on the HorrorMeet Atlas.
- Coolidge, Arizona
Kathryn Bigelow moved the production here after flooding wrecked the Oklahoma plan, and the town's streets carry the opening night driving montage and the Severen truck sequence. Coolidge is still a small farming town on the Gila River.
- Randolph, Arizona
The tiny settlement south of Coolidge is where Jesse parks the stolen RV during the day. Randolph remains a scattering of houses among the cotton fields.
- 6709 Pacific Boulevard, Huntington Park
Caleb's walk to the bus station was shot on this busy shopping street in Huntington Park. Pacific Boulevard is still a dense retail corridor.
