Where was Interview with the Vampire filmed?
For AMC’s version of Interview with the Vampire, producer Mara Lepper-Schlupp recreated the Storyville neighborhood by building facades for Iberville and Liberty streets at The Ranch Studios in New Orleans.
The show also filmed at a number of different New Orleans landmarks, including the Gallier House, which Anne Rice used as the model for Lestat’s townhouse.
The Beauregard-Keys house, located in the French Quarter of the city, was also used for the interior of the Fair Play salon.
