Horror author Stephen King has visited Port Hope, too! The IT movies were filmed here – everybody's favourite small town is the perfect foil for spine-chilling mayhem.

Tour the IT film locations in Port Hope (in daylight)!

If you've seen the movies, you'll recognize Memorial Park downtown where a 20-foot statue of Paul Bunyan presided and members of the Losers Club sat nearby at a picnic table. And don't miss the laneway off Walton Street beside the film's Quality Meats store. You can still find the sign in the alleyway for a souvenir selfie. Check out our IT tour map that highlights the set locations.
