Where was Blood Song filmed?

Paul (Frankie Avalon) manages to hitch a ride with a truck driver. Annoyed by Paul's melodic flute-playing, the driver met an unfortunate demise when Paul hit him in the head with a hatchet. Afterward, he commandeered the vehicle and picked up a hitchhiker on his way to Stanford Bay where they checked into a motel room. The two begin to engage in relations, but Paul strangles her to death after he fails to charm her with his flute-playing. He then proceeds to dismember and mutilate her body, disposing of the remains in various dumpsters around town.

The scene was probably shot in the Southsider Motel in Coos Bay, Oregon as we see this title at the beginning of the scene. If you’re a fan of horror films, you’ll definitely want to check out this classic motel. Although it has gone through extensive renovations, you can still imagine the chills that must have taken place during the filming and hear the eerie music in your mind.

Located on the busy Oregon Coast Highway, this one-story motel is a perfect home away from home. It's close to Mingus Park, Mill Casino, and Coos Historical & Maritime Museum—it’s easy to get there from all of these attractions.

In the early morning after being traumatized by a nightmare of Paul brutally murdering the woman in the motel, Marion (Donna Wilkes) rushes to her boyfriend for comfort. Her partner advises her to put it out of her mind and distract herself with something else. The conversation takes place on the establishment’s deck while they gaze at their surroundings together.

Located on the stunning Southern Oregon Coast, Coos Bay and North Bend host a variety of activities for visitors and residents alike. As the largest deep-draft port between San Francisco and Puget Sound in Washington State, Coos Bay is an important destination for travelers and trade. This thriving harbor city is home to many exciting attractions. Residents of Coos Bay enjoy the natural beauty literally right outside their doorstep with miles of beach access, coastal trails, and picnic areas throughout the region.

With a car or on foot, you can make your way to the port via Park Avenue. Begin by taking Date Avenue, followed by Telegraph Drive to Park Avenue until N Broadway. You’ll find your destination on the corner of N 2nd St and Central Avenue, after traveling West on the block.

Despite their search for Paul (Frankie Avalon) coming up empty, the police concluded that Marion (Donna Wilkes) was the killer and committed her to a mental facility—which coincidentally is the same place from where Paul had previously escaped. While restrained in a hospital bed, she suddenly wakes up to find none other than Paul standing beside her as if he were a doctor. She immediately shrieks out of fright at this unexpected sight!

The scene was shot in Oregon State Hospital. An intriguing landmark, the hospital has been serving the public since 1883, supplying essential mental health services to those in need. At Oregon State Hospital, visitors can tour the historic Kirkbride building which was constructed over a century ago and is now home to the oldest functioning psychiatric facility on America's west coast.

Step inside the OSH Museum, a volunteer-driven non-profit that offers an exclusive journey into Oregon's past mental health practices. As you explore over 2500 Square Feet of exhibits at your own leisurely pace and participate in interactive displays, you can immerse yourself in this unique experience.

To begin your journey to the hospital, start at the Downtown Transit Center and take bus 05 Lancaster Drive for 8 stops. Afterward, you'll need to walk about 5 minutes heading West on Center St NE towards 23rd St NE before turning left onto Recovery Dr.
