The production for Haul Out the Halloween took place in Utah. The movie appears to have reused many of the same filming areas used in the earlier Haul Out the Holly films.
Casting calls and public notices revealed that locations included Sandy, Cottonwood Heights, and Salt Lake City in Utah. One source states that production started in May and wrapped by June 2025.
Cottonwood Heights (a suburb in Salt Lake County) is cited as a key filming base, likely because its residential neighborhoods and scenic surroundings match the look of “Evergreen Lane,” the fictional street in the film.
📍Cottonwood Heights, Utah
This is the primary location cited for Haul Out the Halloween. The production is said to have filmed in and around this area. The neighborhood’s layout, homes, and backdrop likely served as the stand-in for “Evergreen Lane.” Because the previous films in the series also used this general area, the crew likely was familiar with the area’s logistics.
📍Sandy, Utah
Casting calls mentioned Sandy, Utah, as one of the shooting locations (for background roles and scenes). It’s plausible that some exterior scenes or street shots were done in parts of Sandy or its nearby residential zones.
📍Salt Lake City area

Because these suburbs are close to Salt Lake City, production would have used infrastructure and crew based in the greater metro area. Some scenes or support facilities (crew staging, interiors, etc.) may have been in Salt Lake or its surroundings.
