American Horror Story: Double Feature Filming Locations
Principal photography on the first part of ‘American Horror Story: Double Feature’ commenced on December 2, 2020, and wrapped up by May 2021. Filming for the second part of the season began in July 2021 but had to be paused after a positive case of COVID-19 emerged on the sets. The production later resumed in August 2021. The tenth season was mainly filmed in parts of Massachusetts and California. Let’s take a close look at the filming sites of season 10!
Provincetown, Massachusetts
Provincetown, located in the Barnstable County on Cape Cod in Massachusetts, is the primary filming location and setting of the ‘Red Tide’ section of episodes for season 10. Dubbed “P-town,” the city is known for its beautiful beaches and harbors. Along with the countryside scenery, there is a number of inexplicable spooky events that have taken place in Provincetown. Both these factors make the town an ideal filming location for the horror drama series.
Some scenes were shot at The Mews Restaurant & Cafe on 429 Commercial Street, Coastline Tattoo Studio on 290A Commercial Street, and Pilgrim Monument and Provincetown Museum at 1 High Pole Hill Rd. The Winthrop Street Cemetery, West End breakwater, and Old Colony Path Trail appear in some scenes. Filming also took place at 103 Commercial Street and Race Point Beach. The Provincetown Carnival, a weeklong celebration of the life and culture of the LGBTQ+ community, is a popular tourist attraction.
