Twin Peaks' opening credits burned this 268-foot waterfall, Snoqualmie Falls, Washington, into the consciousness of anyone who watched David Lynch's surreal series. The falls thunder year-round just 30 miles east of Seattle, bringing together stunning nature and the gloomy Pacific Northwest atmosphere that perfectly suited the show's dark mood. A lodge sits at the falls' edge where you can stay in rooms overlooking the cascade if you want to fully commit to the Twin Peaks experience. The observation platform provides views of the falls without much hiking, making it accessible even for visitors who aren't particularly outdoorsy. The surrounding area played various Twin Peaks locations, and the town of Snoqualmie embraces its connection to the cult classic series. Have you ever been to Snoqualmie Falls?

Hitchcock's "Vertigo" made this Civil War-era fort under the Golden Gate Bridge, Fort Point, San Francisco, instantly recognizable as the location where Kim Novak's character jumped into the bay. The fort was built to defend San Francisco Bay during the Gold Rush and survived only because the Golden Gate Bridge was designed to arch over it rather than requiring demolition. Tours explain the fort's military history, though most visitors come because of Vertigo or X-Men: The Last Stand, which also used the location. Looking up at the Golden Gate Bridge towering directly overhead creates the kind of dramatic perspective that made filmmakers fall in love with this spot. The location is free to visit, making it one of San Francisco's better deals along with excellent views of the bridge and bay. Have you ever seen or visited Fort Point?

Vasquez Rocks, California are sandstone formations north of Los Angeles that appeared in the original Star Trek series, various Star Trek films, and "Planet of the Apes" among many others. The rocks tilted to their current angle through tectonic activity, creating sharp angles that don't look natural by any means. Kirk fought the Gorn here in one of Trek's most memorable episodes, and the rocks have represented alien planets so many times that they're basically shorthand for "we're not on Earth anymore." The park allows free access for hiking among the rocks, and dedicated fans can find specific filming locations with some research and hiking. The formations are impressive in their own right too, making them visit-worthy regardless of their Hollywood fame. Before today's survey were you familiar with Vasquez Rocks?

Terry Gilliam used an abandoned Philadelphia prison, Eastern State Penitentiary, for "12 Monkeys," taking advantage of the decaying Victorian Gothic architecture for scenes of dystopian imprisonment. The prison operated from 1829 to 1971, pioneering the separate system of incarceration where prisoners lived in complete isolation. Now it operates as a museum offering tours that explain both prison history and the building's role in various films and TV shows. The cell blocks remain largely as they were when the prison closed, creating an atmospheric location that requires minimal modification for horror films or dark dramas. Al Capone was imprisoned here in real life, and his restored cell shows how some inmates lived considerably better than others during Eastern State's operation. Do you remember seeing this prison in films and tv shows?
