Misery (1990) filming locations - July 2020

During a Stephen King-themed filming location road trip in July 2020 through California and parts of Nevada, I photographed a few filming location sites of the 1990 film "Misery" starring Kathy Bates and James Caan. While driving near Truckee, California and Donner Lake, the Donner Pass Road was closed to traffic; so I was unable to get actual photographs of part of Paul Sheldon's snowy drive from the beginning of the movie. I did do lots of research online and searching Google Street View to find the right spots, so I included the street view photos.



There aren't many sites because a lot of production took place on sound stages at Hollywood Center Studios, which is now called Sunset Las Palmas Studios in Los Angeles. I included a photo from my trip to LA in February 2017.



I hope you enjoy the few sites I was able to match to the film. If anyone has an idea of where they filmed scenes of the Silver Creek Lodge and the library where Buster found article on Annie Wilkes, please comment below. I would like to find the rest of the locations if possible.
