A new Oregon Film Trail sign has been installed in Oregon City, honoring the town’s starring role as a location in the popular teen drama, Twilight. It sits along the McLoughlin Promenade, overlooking the former Blue Heron paper mill where scenes from the iconic vampire movie were shot. The Mill has also been featured in The Hunted and Grimm. The Works Progress Administration-era Promenade has itself been featured in scenes from The Librarians and Trinkets.
The current pandemic situation didn’t allow for a large public dedication but instead, City officials and local tourism advocates attended a photo opportunity with the sign at the dedication. Oregon Film was there to help celebrate and welcome the 27th sign to the Oregon Film Trail.

Film Trail honoring contributions to film history recognizes scene from vampire series shot at former paper mill
Oregon City celebrated on May 5 the installation of a laminate sign on the McLoughlin Promenade overlooking the former Blue Heron Paper Co. mill, honoring the city s contributions to film history.
Scenes from the vampire series Twilight were filmed at the mill, and the promenade was used to film several scenes in other TV shows and movies. The 24-by-19-inch and 20-by-8-inch signs consist of two panels on a post in the Oregon City park.

All right, movie-loving folks, time to pick your favorite children, and none of the rest get any Christmas presents.
Weâll admit we might be exaggerating just a bit, but thatâs what it feels like when asked to pick the top 10 Oregon movies. Top 10 as in what? Dollars generated? Iconic scenes? Percentage actually shot in the Beaver State? Population of the annual visiting pilgrimage? Did we have to actually know it was in Oregon when we first watched it for it to count?Â
Itâs all subjective, every last cinematic cell of it. So weâre going to just be that way about it and list our 10 favorites here; state sugarplums you can savor and share.
