A Walk to the Cullen House

While in Portland, we found out that the Cullen house that was used in the film Twilight was just a block away from my FIL and MIL’s place. Julie and I were all excited to see the house, but Maya feigned disinterest — even though I knew that she wanted to see it as well.  If you haven’t seen the film, you’re not missing much (unless you’re a fan of the books).  I’ve never read the books, but because we have the film on DVD, I’ve seen it a few times (the same with New Moon).  If you like brood-fest films, you’ll like Twilight and New Moon.  However, if you like your vamps with more action, try the more adult-themed True Blood on HBO (and by “adult,” I mean there’s a fair amount of sex). Both stories are about the difficulties of loving someone who is undead, and while Twilight is very PG when tackling love among 15-16 year old girls, True Blood is anything but.

Anyway, on to the house! In the film, the house looks like this:

When we went to see it, it looked pretty much the same… as you will see in this short video I made of our walking tour — which has some wonderful acting by yours truly:

    1. They were funny — or at least your description of them. I didn't see what they were doing because I was trying to shoot the video and was more focused on framing the "action."

  1. hi ted – cool vid. i saw the link on your wife's post. i would have wanted to see this house! we were in portland last year….

    fyi…i'm one of c's friends (from the blog 'life on manitoulin').

    i totally prefer true blood over twilight any day!

    1. Thanks for stopping by! I didn't think anyone (besides family) reads this blog. And I'm happy to hear that you're a True Blood fan as well. Have you read any of the books?

  2. hi ted, i remember seeing your blog a few years back (py korry) because you had some cool music playlists i also enjoy your writing style and sense of humor. i never commented though. to be honest, i haven't read your blog in ages. it was just on and off again. i mostly read your wife's.

    as for the books, yes i've read them all. i like how alan ball has departed from the books and mixed it up a bit for the series. keeps us guessing. it would be way too boring to have the series exactly like the books. ugh.

    cheers
