Interview With The Vampire (1994)

In the 1994 Neil Jordan adaptation of Anne Rice’s “Interview With The Vampire,” Louis, played by Brad Pitt, recounts his story to Malloy, played by Christian Slater at a San Francisco hotel located at 1020 Market St, San Francisco, CA 94102.

Louis lives at this estate, which is the Oak Alley Plantation in Louisiana.  The plantation is open to public tours.  This house and its distinct row of trees can actually be seen from the road of LA-18.  However, you might find it difficult to stop and get a photo, as there is no parking along the street.  The same home was also seen in the 1998 film “Primary Colors.”

LOCATION: 3645 LA-18, Vacherie, LA 70090

Lestat and Claudia, played by Tom Cruise and Kirsten Dunst, wipe out an entire family after Claudia plays piano for them. The exterior scenes, where coffins are seen being carried out, were filmed at the Madame John’s Legacy historic home and museum. The interior of the same building appeared in the film “12 Years a Slave.”

LOCATION: 632 Dumaine St, New Orleans, LA 70116

In the film’s closing scenes, Malloy is unexpectedly met by Lestat as they cross the Golden Gate Bridge.

The house from the series can be found in San Francisco as well, where the show was famously set.  In 2016, it was purchased by the show’s creator, Jeff Franklin, who hopes to use it for filming, as well as possibly opening it up to the public.  We’ll see what happens with the home, now that it’s back in the Tanner fold, so to speak.
